Corona warriors not paid their dues
Every country keeps the morale of their soldiers high, especially during the war. Every Govt take care of their needs, take care of their health, and take care of their families. But today’s soldiers in  Corona fight, even they are not getting even their salaries for the last 4 months. Not able to meet their basic needs, not able to pay rent, not able to pay the school fees of their children, not able to pay their EMI.In such situations, in what state of mind these warriors will be when handling this deadly virus, easy to understand. Kudos to these soldiers who are still fighting with great spirit in MCD hospitals. Their protest is taken as a political gimmick or asking for salary is called taking undue advantage of their rights by the politicians. We ask which politician is working without money. They are passing bills in the assembly to get their salaries and perk increased and are paid every month without delay. Unfortunately, medical associations, media and society in large are keeping silent. Just releasing a statement is not enough.

Together we have to take care of these Frontline warriors and this virus.

Awake,Arise and act

Teamwork is important for winning this Corona war and our rights too.

Influenza drug ,favipiravir shows promise against SARS-CoV-2
Researchers have found that high doses of a drug,favipiravir strongly inhibit SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters while low doses of the drug gave poor results.The scientists chose Syrian hamsters to model COVID-19 because the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates strongly in these animals shortly after infection. Also, unlike in mice, infected hamsters develop a lung disease similar to the early stages of COVID-19 in humans.So hamster model is ideally suited to identify which new or existing drugs may be considered for clinical studies.Favipiravir significantly reduced the number of viable virus particles present in the hamsters’ lungs, with higher doses leading to a more significant reduction. However it did not appear to work for more severely ill people with hypertension and diabetes

face coverings (nose &mouth) should be part of new normal.
Smoking in any form at this time should be banned in public places as it may increase the spread of virus
Teamwork and feeling of openness is important for winning this Corona war.

The city has 340,436 number of infection cases reported from the time of the outbreak and 47 new Covid -19 deaths taking total no.of fatalities to 6,128.

The Delhi government on Wednesday conducted the first time ever 16,629 RT-PCR in a single day. The real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) tests are considered to be more sensitive, but they are costlier than rapid antigen tests and give results in 24hrs but antigen tests are less expensive and quick in results but it can also give a false negative.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR BODY’S FAT BURNING SYSTEM (METABOLISM)TO LOSE WEIGHT:
A car runs on gas; you run on calories which are units of energy.In fact, your brain alone needs about 420 calories a day to function.
You eat food
Your body breaks it down into the simplest forms of carbohydrates, protein & fat
The calories in those components are converted to energy, used by your cells & tissues to grow & repair themselves.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO BURN MORE i.e TO A FASTER METABOLISM
YES;
It begins with what you eat & how you move
Other factors
GENETICS; may be the cause of a natural increased or decreased metabolism, though lifestyle has still a big impact
Long term STRESS releases hormones that impair digestion.
SLEEP is critical, a body sleeping less burns fewer calories.
HOW MUCH TO EAT, eat small meals.
WHEN TO EAT,eating at short intervals.
Do not skip breakfast,there is a surge of the hunger boosting hormone Ghrelin in the evenings, hence you munch before sleep, this disrupts sleep & slows metabolism.
WHAT TO EAT; Combo of fibrous complex carbs & protein, this keeps you full.
CAN FOOD BURN FAT? NOT REALLY , don’t be mislead by MIRACLE FOOD theory.
WATER; hot water increases metabolism 30’ to 40’ after drinking. Being well hydrated is crucial for a healthy weight.
Tea & Coffee; if you have at least 3-4 cups a day of green tea or black coffee will boost metabolism.
NEGATIVE CALORIE FOOD, not that i know of.
EXERCISE; Cardio 25’ ro 30 ‘ three times a week
Strength training & building muscle revs up your metabolism
At least 2 weight workout per week.
