Sugar Sings Sweet

Today I poured another kilo of sugar into the empty jar. Rationing of sugar in a family is something which I, why only I, many households never thought about. Sugar prices have shot up within a few months.

Who has given the Shot at the rising prices of sugar? Of course the government and the concerned Minister. How much it may rise, with direct shots, my cup of tea is not going to go without sugar. Hey! I need sweetness in my tea.

Minister says ration your sugar. But we don’t have a Ration Card? Pheeew?

Minister says many people are suffering from Diabetes, eat less sugar. Haaah!!!

Minister, those who are not suffering from Sugar Ka Bimari will no doubt suffer from Loss of Sugar in their body. Ummm###

Some suffer from Diabetes and others are made to suffer from Loss of Sugar in their body. One way or the other the rise in sufferers from health problems are going to go up.

Standing at the cross roads of the Sugar problem in this country with the rising price, people will no doubt consume sugar even with the rising price.

After all Sugar-Sings-Sweet.

Benefits of Walking

In my previous post when I wrote about cricket, I mentioned about Fitness. For me Fitness means “good physical condition of a human body and of being in good shape”. This is totally my view and I feel remaining physically fit helps to be in a healthy mind too. There are ways of keeping fit and each individual can find his/her way to keep fit.
One of the best ways is going for walks. The parks in city areas have walking tracks and a large number of people-men, women and even youth-can be found everyday walking along the track for fitness. Some go for morning walks and many others have time for evening walks. Elderly people have time for both morning and evening walk.

It is best to go for a walk in comfortable clothes and fine if you wear a pair of sports shoes. It is not the time to show off brands like Nike, Reebok or any other but all that matters is the way you take you walk and the time that has been spent on your fitness programme. Being regular is the secret of fitness. Lazy ones come for a day and then laze in their homes and turn up when their moods beckon them.

Another benefit of going out for a walk is you get lot of fresh air and at the same time find friends among the walkers and sometimes like minded people become very good friends.

Walk also helps to control blood pressure, lose weight and at the same time keep weight within healthy limits, decrease risk of heart attack, helps maintain the cholesterol level and also lowers risk of type 2 diabetes.

If walk is taken for a purpose it should be with a brisk pace for about half an hour everyday. A days rest in a week can do but a regular walker doesn’t like to stay back without reason.

Keep fit with a steady walking routine.
