DIL KO KARAAR AAYA TWINJ:SS~SHOT1
Its complicatedScene::
Kunj holding twinkle shoulders tightly both looking at each others with anger and slightly hatred..leave my hand twinkle said angrily..I will not leave what you will do Kunj added back with a smirk.
I said leave me kunjjj what you wanted from me haan every single day you torturing me still now what you wanted from me she said with displeased..
Torturing yup I told you that day only I will make sure your every day in this house or especially in this room I will make hell mark my words he said.
Acha toh remember what I even told you Im not that Bichari ladki aur wife who will bear her husband torture and will not say uff I will give you back in return she said fully in roar way.,
Aur tumhe se expectation bhi kya kar sakti hu after what have you done with me she said which make Kunj go angrier.
He tightened the grip of her shoulder pulled her near himself.
I remember each and everything twinkle Tanejas Sarna each fake allegation of yours on me I will never forget this in my whole life sab yaad hai mujhe us raat ki ek ek baate main bolta raha mene kuch nahi kiya kesi ne meri ek nahi suni tears escaping from her eyes while teary eyes of Kunj.
That day only I told you I will make your life hell the way you stoop me low in front of my whole family shadi toh hui hai teri mujhse I will never give you wife rights in this life never he said.
She laughs out painfully toh kaunsi mari ja rahi hu tumhari biwi hone Haq ke liye me bhi tumhe kabhi apne pati hone ka haq nahi dungi kese bhul jau mein you are one who tries to do my rape she said Kunj grab her jawline
Mene kuch nahi kiya samji tera rape karne ki koshish mene nahi ki kitni bar bol chuka hu he said.
I saw you with my own eyes kunjjj leave me you hurting me kunjjj She shouted Kunj leave her..
Looking at her angrily great tu Apni baat pe ade rahe aur me apni sachi pe one day you will regret Twinkle lott he said..
Regret really kunjjj shame on yourself what you thought you will physically come closer to me and I will get tired and will leave you nope you just stuck with me dekhti hu na main bhi kese tumhara pyaar milta hai jese mera pyaar mujhe nahi mila hai wese hi jane Mein tumhe kahi nahi dungi samje she added..
Kunj holds his forehead and giggles.Pyaar kaunsa pyaar mera pyaar ki baat hi tu chhod twinkle rahi tere pyaar ki toh tune usko chhoda hai not because of me. He held her hand both of them an inch apart.
Lala dream land me mat rahe even I m not going to leave you as well.I will make your life hell.Hell will be better even phir dekhte hai kesa nahi jati hu mujhe aur iss shadi ko tod ke he said..
Their breath hitting with each others he pecked at her lips she closed her eyes he leaves her to move away from her she looking at him surprisingly.
I cant believe you are that same Kunj who understood me so well help me.we not spend much time together just hardly still you become a very important part of my life I shared my everything you and trust you more than whom I love in this world still never thought you will break me like this she said..
Socha toh mene bhi nahi tha na Twinkle I stand beside you every time help you went out of the way still you thought I did that really trust kaha na dosti mein tha nah hi aaj iss shadi main hai twinkle he said..
Rahi baat Haq ki kunj than why you come closer to me she shouted.
Arey pati hu tera Haq banta hai tere kareeb nahi aaunga phir kes ke after all your one and only handsome husband i m aur itni hi problem hai toh free us from this baseless and unwanted relation Kunj stated..
Mene Yeh Shadi apne maa aur papa ke wajah se ki hai bas she said.
Hehe, acha aur me toh tere pyaar karta tha issliye my foot Sun mene bhi apne family ki wajah se acha haina kahi toh humhari soch milti hai twinkle Kunj sarna he said both looking at each other wrathfully Tashan e Tashan e play In bg..
He tucked her hairs which coming on her face.aur rahi baat tere kareeb aane ki for your kind of information my dear beautiful wifey its you who always ready to take advantage of me Im innocent who cant do anything even cant save my izzat so tu bol hi mat samji jab dekho ready to attack me huh he added and winked at her..twinkle hard-fully punch on his chest..ouchhh Kunj winched in pain.You siyappa queen Kunj murmured she giving him look..
Woh na issliye kunj sarna Tum kahi aur muh na maro give myself to you she said..
Youuuu he said and both showing each others fingers..
Kunj pulled her twist her hand behind her back their face inch apart
Aha, kunjjj she winched..
You know what twinkle I controlled on myself lott not to lose my control on you.. but you cant digest it.bhul na mat Im your husband be in your limits and keep your mouth shut up.Till now you just see my goodness If Im come to show you another side of me its really bad for you he added.
Karo na kya karoge pati dev ji maaroge mujhe haan aur kya karoge tum ghar se nikal doge you cant do anything kunj sarna your control in my hands bhul gye she stated.And show me what you will do she instigating him..
Kunj leaning for a kiss she turned her eyes and try to move but Kunj did not let her move little..
Just then at door, someone knocking.Twinkle and Kunj betaaaa its Avantika who calling them for lunch..
Kunjjj leave me mummy at door twinkle said.Both looking at each other.She again knocked.Kunj jerked her fully
He went in the balcony while twinkle composed herself and move toward the door to open.She opened the door and found Avantika.mummy ji she said.Kya hua beta kab se Im knocking door kuch hua she asked.. everyone knows how their relationship start..
Nahi nothing woh bas kunj ko kuch kaam tha aap yaha she said.Woh I come to call you both for lunch everyone come Avantika said..
Sure aap chaliya main aai she saidOkay, Avantika said and went from there.
Sadu ek number ka baat baat pe Mirchi lagti hai sach bolo to she said and rubbing her hand which turned red because of Kunj.
She went downstairs cloudy weather so everyone sitting in the garden for lunch they have invited their friend and new in-laws..Twinkle help khushi and avni for setting everything outside.They set everything all come and took their respective places.
Hows you twinkle Meher asked.Im good Bhabi twinkle replied and hugged her.
All having their lunch and chitchatting while having..
Where is kunjjj twinkle Rahul asked her?Room me she said..
Just than Kunj come in a hurry( he always in a hurry ) He about to fall.
Kunjjj be careful Avantika said.. he looks at his mother..
Come here lets have lunch she called.Nahi mujhe bhuk nahi hai you guys carry on Kunj said and moved towards his car while Rahul stand.What happen you anjali asked..Nahi Im done I have work okay bye he said and run from there and sit in the car with Kunj both went in rush..
All confused kya ladke hai dono ke dono humesha aisa hi karte hai usha murmured.
Haan sahi kaha Usha this Rahul crazy samj me hi nahi aata kya karta hai kabhi kaha kabhi kaha sanvi said..
Rahul still better but Kunj ka kuch hi pata nahi hai dont know he doing with his life whole day roaming here and there never listen to me Tej said being disappointed with his son..
Why you saying this tej you never try to understand him and talk Avantika added.
Acha mene he listens me sit with me he running away from me like this Im not his father but his enemy who going to kill him.Rahi baat ki kese karu sunta kaha hai ache se baat hi nahi karta jab bhi kuch bolo jawab ulta hi deta hai bolta hu office join kare advik and yuvi ke jese but he not he said.
Over this lets have lunch lata said..
Kunj driving in hurry Arey Kunj please slow we are not going for heaven so no rush bhai Rahul Rahul Kunj stops the car due to signal..
Tu bhi na itni jaldi heaven me jane nahi wala hai Kunj said.
Acha kya hua why your mood so off he asked he is not his childhood friend but one soul split into two bodies..
Kuch nahi yaar tujhe toh pata hai na kunj said.
Hehe, he giggles Kunj teri band ek ladki i mean teri biwi ne baja ke rakhi hai since the day she entered in your life Kuch toh baat hai twinkle mein I mean everyone scared from great Kunj sarna but she is not he said and laughing still.
Dont laugh life hell kar diya meri siyappa queen ek number ki Chain hi nahi lene deti hai pehle papa kam the ab Yeh twinkle chhod usko tu bata kya hua you did or not he asked in mute something.
After everyone was done with lunch all having dessert..
Bade papa aap yah project mujhe aur advik ko dedo we will do it yuvi said.Kyun nahi ab tum dono hi ho tej said..
Kitna sochte hai papaji but this sadu is heartless twinkle murmured..
Chalo hum chalte hai leela said they get up about to going leela hug twinkle.Acha take care of yourself are you happy na she asked and cupped her face.
Twinkle nodded in yes.Im happy maa dont worry me Im your sherni beti she said and they giggles after they went later..
Sanvi and Atul too along with their daughter in law anjali..
While avni and Khushi and twinkle get busy in work kitchen..
At night all even done with dinner Kunj still not comeback both mother and father waiting for their son..
Tej he will come dont worry father addedHmm he hummed and went in room twinkle gestured to Avantika she blinked her eyes and she too went behind her husband..
Khushi and twinkle or avni went to twinkle room they chit-chatting while twinkle folding Kunj clothes and keeping back in wardrobe..
Kunj should think about bade papa and badi maa feelings avni said.Haan he knows how much they loving him still he never cared about their love Khushi and Agreeing with avni..Twinkle you should tell kunj something both said.Mein kya bolu twinkle said..
Arey, you are his wife we all know in what circumstances your and his marriage happened but still, avni said..
Dekhti hu wese meri sune wala toh hai nahi kunj she said..
Chalo goodnight twinkle both wish goodnight her and went in their respective rooms.
While twinkle take her nighty and went in washroom she gets freshen up and come went to the dressing table and combing her hairs and thinking about Kunj while looking at the clock..
Just than Kunj entered the room she comes out of her thought Kunj sit on the couch and breathing heavily..Uff so tired he murmured and offing his shoes..
Aagya rajkumar kunj sarna she murmured and turned..Oyee siyappa queen leave mirror will break down soon he said and giggles.
Acha let.by the way you tell me where are you till now she asked him first Kunj blinking his eyes..
Really you asking me and waiting for me great yaar dil bhar aaya but tears hai ki bhar hi nahi aarahi hai he chuckled twinkle rolling her eyes..
Yeh typical biwi mat ban samji inquiry mat le itni pagali dar lagta hai he said.
Baat karna hi bekar hai tum se toh kunj at least go and meet with mummy ji and papa they both waiting for you even worried as well she said.
Ab na tu unki vakeel mat ban samji Im not small kid he said and went in washroom..
After changing he come and went down and bring dinner for him to come in the room and sit having.Twinkle laying on the bed in a sitting position and looking at Kunj..
Kunj chocked.Kaun banata hai yah khana man itna spicy he said..khalo Kunj sarna tumhari jubaan hi aesi hai she said..
Kunj having but drinking water too much.I told Khushi Kunj will not have this much spicy but she never listens to me aur yah sadu bacha hai kya jo spicy nahi khata hai she murmured inside her heart..
Kunj done and keep everything back and come he munching twinkle chocolate.Its my she shouted.So what I will bring back in return I m sure you put chilli because of me haina siyappa queen chantt ladki he said..
Kunj come sit beside her another side of the bed..he offers her chocolate she looking at him confusingly.Kha le siyappa queen apne pati ka jhoota7 janam jeeyegihe said about to have twinkle snatched from him and having..
Twinkle please give me my laptop from your side Kunj said.Ab laptop ka kya kunj its already very late Tum karte kya ho haan kunj kaam aurJob karte nahi pura din yaha waha bhatakte hue rahte ho she said.
Maa mat ban meri he said and about to take but twinkle not let him he come on her.Kunjjj she screamed Kunj leaves and laid down.Huh, siyappa queen just 5 months more than wait kya karta hu mein tere saath he said.Dekhte hai she said and laid down Kunj turned and his back facing to ceiling Kunj was tired he fast sleep.Twinkle chatting with her friends.
In sleep, kunj keeps his hand on twinkle waist twinkle look at him.About to remove but she leaves it then covered him with blanket fully..
No matter both showing each other hate Tashan ego but having a soft corner for each other more than that having desire for each others
Twinkle keeping her hand on Kunj..She closed her eyes and recalling those painful moments which bring void and lott hate between them.I dont know babaji Im fully confused this touch and that totally different whenever I go closer to him or we come I never feel that same touch feeling hi alag aati hai when Kunj now touching me that wasnt similar kyun?? She asking herself.Gazing at Kunj again and again and soon she dozed off..
At morning both of them closer almost in each others arms. Kunj pulling blanked twinkle too just than twinkle Alarm rang she opens her eyes and yawned and look at Kunj.Saduuu she murmured and come out of his cage he too woke up at the same time and turned and look at her.And cuddles blanket little cold.
Dont you know how to sleep Haan Kunj said?Acha I know its you who dont know she said.Bruce lee Kunj murmured twinkle listen.Kya bola Bruce me its you she pulling his hairs.Twinkle he hit her with the pillow its their daily morning ritual or starts.. she pushes him.I will complain about you to papaji she said.Sure he said and make faces. After they fight for washroom lastly twinkle went down for breakfast.
Later Kunj comes down humming song.Tej and Manohar sitting in living room tej eyes went on Kunj..
Kunjj tej called him he stopped.Haan, he said and stand there..Where are you last night he asked Kunj rolled his eyes.Woh bas with Rahul he said.
Okay, today you going office with me Tej said Kunj shocked.Why suddenly office Kunj asked.What you mean why Kunj dont you wanna work haan tej said..
Me aap ko bol chuka hu I will not work in your office mujhe karna hi nahi he said Avantika come and stand beside Kunj all standing scared.
But kyun nahi mene tumhe itna padhaya hai kes liye kunj one day you will take over my business this all I made for you but you here wasting your time here and there haan I give you your time still what you wanted tej said.
Kunj closed his eyes good you did for me but papa I dont wanted advik and yuvi haina aapke pass meri kya zaroorat hai aapka aaj tak toh hui nahi why for this business they are smarter and talented than me for you all Im just useless and nothing Im not your pride but who always stoop you down it was your words remember Kunj said while looking at his father eyes..
Woh baat gai kunj jo beet gaya so beet agay why you bring old things tej said.Old aap ke liye hai papa mere liye nahi I remembered each and everything still and will not forget I told you numbers of time I have no interest in your so-called business and anything else.And dont worry about my life you have more important people in your life wese bhi one you already cut from your life one more nothing is new for you He said and walked out from there..Tej looking at Avantika..
Suna tum ne what he said just now he even dont know he standing in front of his father I wish we had no childrens he said and sit sadly.Bhai saab aap bhi na I will talk to kunj Manohar said Tej nodded.

Investigating the potential for domestication selection in the Eastern oyster – aquaculturealliance.org
Intelligence
Monday, 10 August 2020 Katherine McFarland, Ph.D. Louis V. Plough, Ph.D. Michelle Nguyen Matthew P. Hare, Ph.D.
One concern with selective breeding as part of a population management strategy is that captivity itself can impose unintended artificial selection. Evolutionary responses to this domestication selection can be swift in captive populations with the potential for reduced fitness in the wild relative to wild-born individuals.
When domestication selection is strong within a single propagation cohort, such as was demonstrated for salmonids, then its effects can potentially impact the success of hatchery-based population supplementation. These considerations are of particular relevance to marine bivalves because (1) they express extreme versions of this life history, (2) native bivalve populations are depleted in some areas and receiving hatchery-based population supplementation and (3) selectively bred lines intended for commercial aquaculture have been promoted and used for population supplementation, for example in an attempt to mitigate disease mortality.
In the United States, Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) restoration approaches often include the hatchery production and planting of spat (juvenile oysters) on shell to supplement wild recruitment and help jumpstart a population on restored habitat. Oysters produced for the aquaculture industry are often selectively bred for traits that speed up production, such as fast growth, and that improve survival (e.g. disease resistance). However, it is unclear whether or not other (unintended) traits are evolving due to genetic correlations, adaptation to the artificial environment, or heritable epigenetic changes during hatchery culture.
This article adapted and summarized from the original publication reports on a study to examine the potential effects of domestication selection in oysters. The experiment compared the starvation resistance of oyster larvae produced from wild (no prior hatchery exposure) and artificially selected (over multiple generations of hatchery propagation) broodstock oysters.
To test for domestication selection in marine bivalves, we focused on a fitness-related trait (larval starvation resistance) that could be altered under artificial selection. Using larvae produced from a wild population of C. virginica and a selectively bred, disease-resistant line we measured growth and survival during starvation versus standard algal diet conditions.
Wild adult oysters were collected from the Choptank River, Maryland in the Chesapeake Bay and two disease-resistant aquaculture lines (Deby (DBY) and DBY-CROSbreed (XB)) were obtained from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Aquaculture Genetics and Breeding Technology Center (ABC). These lines have been bred over multiple generations with hatchery propagation and intensive selection for disease resistance.
Broodstock were conditioned and spawned and the oysters were allowed to finish spawning in their individual container to collect and isolate gametes for each individual. A total of six pair-cross fertilizations were completed between two females and three males for each strain type (wild and aquaculture) within one hour of the start of spawning to assure quality of gametes. The DBY and XB selection lines are maintained with methods that limit inbreeding, but to eliminate any potential for inbreeding effects here, our experimental aquaculture cohort was created with males from the DBY line and females from the XB line (hereafter referred to as AQF1).
The oyster larvae were reared in 200-liter tanks at a density of 30 larvae per mL for seven days and were fed a diet of 50:50 Isochrysis galbana and Chaetoceros calcitrans beginning at 10,000 cells per mL on day one and increased each day by 10,000 cells per mL. Water changes were completed on day three and then every other day thereafter with no culling until day seven. Then, an experiment was conducted to measure growth and survival during starvation versus standard algal diet conditions.
For detailed information on the experimental design; broodstock conditioning and spawning; total organic carbon (TOC) analysis; starvation challenge; respiration rate measurements; and statistical analyses, refer to the original publication.
Based on our results and those of other researchers, we hypothesize that the ability to absorb, transport and assimilate micronutrients may be an important source of differentiation between the lines tested and represent promising phenotypes to explore as possible mechanistic changes associated with domestication selection.
It is plausible that aquaculture lines can adapt to the hatchery environment, in which food is provided in excess, thereby limiting their ability to utilize dissolved organic matter (DOM) during prolonged starvation events as a result of many generations of hatchery propagation. However, this requires further and more detailed testing to understand the role of DOM under food limitation.
Regarding survival during prolonged starvation, the most dramatic mortality was observed between days 8 and 10 of the starvation (age 15 to 17 days) in the AQF1 line suggesting that a critical physiological threshold was reached. This is consistent with the continued mortality we observed during the recovery period, but clearly there was individual variation in this threshold because some larvae did recover. Survival continued to decline through age 22 days (five days into the recovery), during which growth also remained stunted, suggesting that larvae had not yet rebounded physiologically.
Larval survival and successful recruitment of subsequent generations following plantings of hatchery produced spat or adult oysters is an essential component to long-term restoration success. If planted oysters from selective breeding programs produce larvae that cannot survive the gauntlet of stressors in the estuarine environment, then long-term restoration success is stymied. While a 10-day period of no phytoplankton availability may be unlikely under natural conditions, patchiness in larval food quantity and nutritional quality are expected. Under these conditions, an ability to withstand and recover from periods with limited exogenous energy sources is a critical fitness trait.
Starvation tolerance is a complex trait, so we expected there might be interactions with growth rate. With the development of high size variance early in each line (typical of Eastern oysters), we separated each line into fast and slow early-growth cohorts to test for relationships with starvation tolerance.
When comparing starvation tolerance in larvae produced from wild parents and larvae produced from selectively bred parents, the selectively bred AQF1 line experienced nearly complete mortality during the last three days of starvation, while both fast and slow wild cohorts experienced better survival. Analysis of dissolved organic carbon suggests that although particulate food (phytoplankton) was withheld, micronutrients (e.g. dissolved organic matter) were present during starvation.
For the wild larvae in the fed treatment, the initial size separation between fast and slow growth cohorts was maintained throughout the experimental period, with no significant difference in growth rate observed. In the fed AQF1 line, the initial size distinction was maintained up to age 10 days (three days after size separation), but depressed growth of AQF1/Fast led to size convergence with AQF1/Slow by age 14 days. The reasons for changes in growth rate in AQF1/Fast (seen in both fed controls and the starved treatment) are not known, but they were apparently specific to a particular developmental stage and do not compromise the main finding of line growth rate parity.
The lower tolerance to starvation in the selected strain studied here is consistent with this trait being a costly adaptation weakened as a result of selection for fast growth or, more likely, a trait correlated with commercial traits under direct selection. Further comparisons with other Eastern oyster selected lines are needed to determine if this larval tolerance difference is a general result of domestication or specific to the tested lines.
For oysters, lines artificially selected for aquaculture support the oyster aquaculture industry, where lifetime fitness is not an objective. Rather, the emphasis is on farm-to-table production rates in which yield is largely a function of growth rate and survivorship. However, in the context of using hatcheries for stock enhancement, planted oysters must not only grow to maturity, but also successfully reproduce and generate offspring with robust abilities to withstand the many stressors encountered during the pelagic life stage.
At this early stage of selective breeding in Eastern oysters, the unknown phenotypic impacts from domestication selection may be large or small, depending on the trait. In our study, we showed a slightly lower tolerance to prolonged starvation in the AQF1 line intentionally selected for disease resistance over multiple generations of hatchery propagation. Replication of this experiment will be necessary using more biological replicates, different aquaculture lines and additional wild oysters to strengthen the inference that reduced larval starvation tolerance is linked to domestication selection generally.
Based on our initial results, we suspect bioenergetic processes related to micronutrient uptake and utilization may be promising candidate traits for investigating mechanistic changes as a result of domestication selection or are genetically correlated with other traits under direct selection.
The great successes of selective breeding to produce shellfish with improved aquaculture yields is likely to result in an increased reliance on selectively bred lines for oyster farming. With further oyster domestication expected, our work is of importance to understand inadvertent trait evolution as well as the potential impacts domesticated oysters can have on natural populations.

As more go hungry and malnutrition persists, achieving Zero Hunger by 2030 in doubt, UN report warns – World Health Organization
Writing in the foreword, the heads of the five agencies warn that five years after the world committed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, we are still off track to achieve this objective by 2030".
The hunger numbers explained
In this edition, critical data updates for China and other populous countriesii have led to a substantial cut in estimates of the global number of hungry people, to the current 690 million. Nevertheless, there has been no change in the trend. Revising the entire hunger series back to the year 2000 yields the same conclusion: after steadily diminishing for decades, chronic hunger slowly began to rise in 2014 and continues to do so.
Asia remains home to the greatest number of undernourished (381 million). Africa is second (250 million), followed by Latin America and the Caribbean (48 million). The global prevalence of undernourishment or overall percentage of hungry people has changed little at 8.9 percent, but the absolute numbers have been rising since 2014. This means that over the last five years, hunger has grown in step with the global population.
This, in turn, hides great regional disparities: in percentage terms, Africa is the hardest hit region and becoming more so, with 19.1 percent of its people undernourished. This is more than double therate in Asia (8.3 percent) and in Latin America and the Caribbean (7.4 percent). On current trends, by2030, Africa will be home to more than half of the worlds chronically hungry.
As progress in fighting hunger stalls, the COVID-19 pandemic is intensifying the vulnerabilities andinadequacies of global food systems understood as all the activities and processes affecting theproduction, distribution and consumption of food. While it is too soon to assess the full impact ofthe lockdowns and other containment measures, the report estimates that at a minimum, another83 million people, and possibly as many as 132 million, may go hungry in 2020 as a result of theeconomic recession triggered by COVID-19.iii The setback throws into further doubt the achievementof Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger).
Overcoming hunger and malnutrition in all its forms (including undernutrition, micronutrientdeficiencies, overweight and obesity) is about more than securing enough food to survive: whatpeople eat and especially what children eat must also be nutritious. Yet a key obstacle is thehigh cost of nutritious foods and the low affordability of healthy diets for vast numbers of families.
The report presents evidence that a healthy diet costs far more than US$ 1.90/day, the internationalpoverty threshold. It puts the price of even the least expensive healthy diet at five times the price offilling stomachs with starch only. Nutrient-rich dairy, fruits, vegetables and protein-rich foods (plantand animal-sourced) are the most expensive food groups globally.
The latest estimates are that a staggering 3 billion people or more cannot afford a healthy diet. Insub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia, this is the case for 57 percent of the population though noregion, including North America and Europe, is spared. Partly as a result, the race to endmalnutrition appears compromised. According to the report, in 2019, between a quarter and a thirdof children under five (191 million) were stunted or wasted too short or too thin. Another 38million under-fives were overweight. Among adults, meanwhile, obesity has become a globalpandemic in its own right.
A call to action
The report argues that once sustainability considerations are factored in, a global switch to healthydiets would help check the backslide into hunger while delivering enormous savings. It calculatesthat such a shift would allow the health costs associated with unhealthy diets, estimated to reachUS$ 1.3 trillion a year in 2030, to be almost entirely offset; while the diet-related social cost ofgreenhouse gas emissions, estimated at US$ 1.7 trillion, could be cut by up to three-quarters.ivThe report urges a transformation of food systems to reduce the cost of nutritious foods and
increase the affordability of healthy diets. While the specific solutions will differ from country tocountry, and even within them, the overall answers lie with interventions along the entire foodsupply chain, in the food environment, and in the political economy that shapes trade, publicexpenditure and investment policies. The study calls on governments to mainstream nutrition intheir approaches to agriculture; work to cut cost-escalating factors in the production, storage,
transport, distribution and marketing of food including by reducing inefficiencies and food loss andwaste; support local small-scale producers to grow and sell more nutritious foods, and secure theiraccess to markets; prioritize childrens nutrition as the category in greatest need; foster behaviourchange through education and communication; and embed nutrition in national social protectionsystems and investment strategies.
The heads of the five UN agencies behind the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the Worlddeclare their commitment to support this momentous shift, ensuring that it unfolds in a sustainableway, for people and the planet.

What Is Intuitive Eating All About? The 10 Principles And More – Women’s Health
Whether you want to lose weight or eat better, there are a lot of diets out there vying for your attention. Keto? Whole30? Plant-based?
If all of the options have your head spinning (same), I've got just the thing for you. This diet actually isnt a ~diet~ at allbut it can still help you with your eating goals. Its called intuitive eating, and its a movement thats gaining major followers.
On a basic level, intuitive eating is all about getting in touch with body cues (like hunger and fullness) and learning to trust your body when it comes to food, explains nutritionist Keri Gans, RD. There are no restrictions or forbidden foods; just an effort for you to eat well, feel healthier, and enjoy food more.
For many people, the traditional diet approach leads to nothing more than years and years of weight loss and weight gain and a negative relationship with food and their body image, Gans says. Intuitive eating is here to put that crap to bed.
Clearly, there's something to it. Instagram is filled with comments from people who rave about how intuitive eating has helped them stop obsessing over their weight, quit binge-eating, and end feelings of guilt around food.
Of course, theres a little more to making this whole intuitive eating thing work. Heres what you need to know about the eating approachand how to make it work for you.
As the name suggests, intuitive eating is all about following your own innate intuition.
The biggest difference between intuitive eating and dietsor lifestyle changesis the focus on internal signals and cues rather than external rules, says nutritionist and certified intuitive eating counselor Alissa Rumsey, RD, owner of Alissa Rumsey Nutrition and Wellness. Intuitive eating uses feelings of hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and body knowledge to dictate eating choices in the moment. Traditional diets, meanwhile, use external factors like nutrient counts, calories, or food groups to plan food ahead of time without room for flexibility.

While you can lose weight by following an intuitive eating approach, its not necessarily the goal. Instead, the goal with intuitive eating is to foster a healthier, happier approach to food.
Yes, it sounds suuuuper simplebut it definitely takes work to achieve. Were all born knowing how to listen to our bodys hunger and satiety signals but, as we go through life, our natural intuition is blunted on so many levels, says nutritionist Karen Ansel, RD. As children, adults are constantly feeding us snacks, whether were hungry or not; were told to finish our meals even though our bodies may be perfectly well-nourished; were rewarded with food for good behavior. At the same time, were told that hunger is an emergency, even though its a completely natural sensation, just like being tired.
Though intuitive eating offers the alluring promise of no food being off-limits, the process of reestablishing (and following) your natural cues is a tricky one.
Its long and time consuming, and sometimes you have to fail before you can succeed, Ansel says. The upside is that once you learn to eat intuitively, weight control often becomes infinitely easier, as your body naturally possesses all the tools to guide you. At this point, you can easily eat only when truly hungry and stop when satisfied. No stress.
The intuitive eating movement has been around in some form since the 1970s, but the term intuitive eating was coined in 1995 by nutritionists Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, authors of Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works.
In their book, Tribole and Resch encourage people to reject diet culture, find satisfaction in eating, and listen to their body cues around food. They also ID three different eating personalities that help define the eating difficulties you might have:
The ultimate goal, according to Tribole and Resch, is to become an intuitive eater, someone who listens to their internal hunger cues. When theyre hungry, intuitive eaters pick something to eat without debating about it or feeling guilty.
So, how does one become an intuitive eater, exactly? To help you get there, Tribole and Resch came up with the 10 principles of intuitive eating, which all focus on creating a healthier relationship with food.
The principles of intuitive eating are guideposts that help you unlearn the dieting behaviors and diet mentality you've been taught and instead learn to tune back into your own body, Rumsey explains. While it's not always a linear experience, rejecting the diet mentality and learning to honor your bodys hunger cues are some of the foundational experiences."
Live by these principles, she says, and you'll not only find a happier relationship with food, but more positive self-care and coping behaviors, body respect, and more intuitive, joyful movement, too.
The 10 principles of intuitive eating, according to Tribole and Resch, are:
This means ditching diet books and avoiding articles that tell you how to lose weight quickly.
Learning to listen to your hunger cues is crucial, Tribole and Resch argue. Focusing on keeping your body nourished with the right foods can help prevent overeating.
This means giving yourself permission to eat what you want, when you want it.
Tribole and Resch urge people to remove good and bad thinking from eating. Have a bowl of ice cream? Don't feel guilty about it; its just food, and its part of your overall healthy diet.
Eating should be a pleasurable experience and, if you enjoy what youre eating, should help you feel satisfied and content. Identifying this satisfaction can help you learn when youve had enough of a food you enjoy.
Trust your body to lead you to the right foods and listen for the signals that youre not hungry anymore. Tribole and Resch also recommend pausing in the middle of eating to ask yourself how the food tastes, and how hungry you are at that moment.
Learn to recognize that food restriction can trigger loss of control and emotional eating. Learn to ID your emotions and find ways to deal with them that dont involve food.
Embrace your body, so you can feel better about who you are.
Be active for the sake of moving your body, instead of tracking how many calories you burn during exercise. Focusing on the energy you get from working out can help keep you motivated.
Make food choices that are good for your healthand taste greatwhile making you feel good. Know that you dont have to eat perfectly to be healthy. That one snack, meal, or day of less-healthy eating wont torpedo your goals.
If you want to rethink your relationship with food, Ansel recommends picking up the Intuitive Eating book to get the full view of what it's all about.
Its also a good idea to really immerse yourself in the concept. You have likely been absorbing years and years of diet culture messages, so surrounding yourself with alternative messaging will be helpful, says Rumsey, who recommends checking out different podcasts, books, and blogs created by registered dietitians and therapists certified in intuitive eating. These will help you weed through a lot of your long-held beliefs about food and your body to start developing a new relationship, she says.
Some of her recommendations:
Another question to consider: What do you really want to eat right now? Allow yourself to have whatever the answer is, Rumsey says. By allowing yourself to eat whatever you want, you stop the diet cycle in its tracks.
It can take time, but your mind and body will eventually learn that you have access to all foods and, with time, cravings and overeating should decrease. If youre unsatisfied, youll probably keep looking for that one thing that is going to make you feel satisfied and content, and youre more likely to overeat, Rumsey explains. When you eat what you really want, the feelings of satisfaction and pleasure you feel will help you be content.
You'll also want to start tuning in to your hunger signals, Rumsey says. Start noting when you tend to feel hungry during the dayand what you tend to do in those moments. Honoring your hungereating each time you are hungryis an important step in building back body trust, she explains.
If you're looking for extra support, a registered dietitian can help guide you through the first few months of intuitive eating. Each person is different and an intuitive eating registered dietitian can help you work through your unique challenges and questions, says Rumsey.
The bottom line: Intuitive eating is a great way to feel healthier in your body and create a happier, easier relationship with food. Experts say that it's never too late to work on intuitive eatingand that it really does work for most people.

What Is Intuitive Eating All About? The 10 Principles And More - Women's Health
Milwaukee has a problem with food insecurity. Urban agriculture can be part of the answer. – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Urban farming is one way to help replenish food deserts in Milwaukee's impoverished neighborhoods, and it's not just about growing food.
Its not just about the fresh, healthy foods, but also the education behind it, said Venice Williams, executive director of Alice's Garden, an urban garden and farm that dates to 1972.We do a lot of work to help people understand their relationship with food.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, a food desertis a low-income area where a supermarket or grocery store is at least a mile away.Based on 2015 data, the USDA estimated that nearly 9% of Milwaukee's population lived in a food desert, including many areas of the city's north side.
Having access is very important from a health perspective," said Alfonso Morales, a University of Wisconsin-Madison associate professor and expert on urban agriculture. "Not only does the absence of healthy foods negatively impact health, but the presence of healthy foods positively impacts mental and physical health."
Studies back up Morales link between health and food.
Astudyof California residents examined how access to healthy food choices affected rates of obesity and diabetes. The study showed that residents in food deserts with fewer fresh produce choices and more fast food access were at higher risk of both obesity and diabetes. A2012 study found that the city of Cleveland could meet its entire fresh produce demand through sustainable urban farming.In California, the Berkeley Food Institute, which is affiliated with the University of California, Berkeley, has an ongoing study aimed at identifying the best urban farming policies and practices toreduce food insecurity.
The growth of food insecurity and food deserts have their roots in long-term discrimination in Milwaukee and other cities.
Redlining, the practice of denying minorities mortgages,access to loansand equal housing opportunities, had a profound impact.The University of Richmonds "Mapping Inequality interactivemapof redlining in the 1930s shows that Milwaukees north side was coded red, given a D grade (the lowest from A to D) and was labeled as bad for investment.
Ninety years after Milwaukees neighborhoods were classified, the effects of the system and segregation are still apparent today. The history of divestment helped cause services to flee.
Lack of access to fresh, healthy foodsin low-income communities meansmore peoplewill suffer from diabetes, heart diseaseand other diet-related diseases. African Americans in Wisconsinhave higher rates of hospitalization and death from heart diseasecompared to the total Wisconsin population, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
And that iswhy organizations such asAlice's Gardenhave stepped in to fill gaps in the food supply.
Alice's focuses on supplying Harambee neighborhood residents with fresh food and the opportunity to grow their own. Its an urban farm but also has a community garden.
The lineage of many Black families stretches back to the South,where growing food and farming was a big part of their ancestors' lives. But some families have lost theconnection with farming and food.
Williams isoptimistic that theright resources will help people adoptgardening and a deeper appreciation of healthy foods.
Were regenerating customs, said Williams. I am seeing a resurgence in growing and cultivating food. Were growing families, growing communities through food.

The Victory GardenInitiative, popular duringthe world wars, helpedpeople get throughtough times by encouraging them to grow their own produce in yards and community spaces. Victory Garden Initiative is fighting a different enemy now food security in underserved communities.
Its extremely important to have access to fresh and healthy foods, said Co-executive Director Ann Brummitt. We know there are communities who dont have access and the resources due to certain circumstances. Were here to bridge that connection of growing fresh food and people.
Victory Garden Initiative hosts the nations largest garden-building event, their Garden Blitz.
The Blitz installs raised garden beds including building the structure andsupplyingsoil and seeds to get the garden started. As of 2019, the initiative's11thyear, the grouphad installed over 4,500 raised beds in Milwaukee and other cities.
It also has run a farm stand in the Harambee neighborhood that operates on a pay-what-you-can model to give everyone a chance to have fresh produce.
Meantime, Hunger Task Forceoperatesa 208-acre farm that provides fresh produce to more than 47 food pantries in Milwaukee County.
Hunger Task Force Executive Director Sherrie Tussler said the farm produces between 500,000 to 700,000 pounds of food annually.
It goes to food pantries, homeless sheltersand soup kitchens," she said. "And it will often go alongside the Stockbox Program, which is a program for seniors.
Supplying food pantries with fresh produce helps people living in poverty often in food deserts get access to the nutritious foodthey normally wouldnt be able to find.
We feel like were contributing to overall public health by making sure at-risk people living in food deserts have access to food that is healthy and that they can prepare easily, Tussler said.

Why Getting Enough Sleep Is More Important Than Ever – Flux Magazine
words Al Woods
Around the world, cases of insomnia are at an unprecedented high. We work extremely hard, and most of us work on computers and spend our entire week staring at screens.
Working on computers can exhaust you, but the paradox is this: we stare at screens all of the time and exhaust ourselves but are unable to sleep because our brains cannot shut down because of the screens we have been staring at. There is a solution to this, however, and it lies in putting down our laptops are phones when we get home and giving our brains time to relax and unwind. Getting sleep is now more important than ever, as there are many obstacles in place.
This page will seek to tell you why getting enough sleep is important for both your physical and your mental health and how you can get some sleep.
Most of us have no routine whatsoever. You may have in the past struggled to find a way to establish a routine, but by deciding to browse this page, you will now have one. Sleep tracking devices are a way that you can know how many hours a night you are sleeping, know what time you are going to bed, and what time you are getting out of it.
Sleep tracking devices are extraordinary pieces of equipment that can be used to establish a regular routine. When you establish how many hours you roughly sleep for on average, and what sort of time you go to sleep, you will be better equipped to create a routine. As humans, we often wake up at the same time daily, notwithstanding our bedtime.
For example, if you discover that you wake up at seven in the morning every day, then you can go to bed earlier, which means you are able to make sure that you get eight hours of sleep at a minimum.
A lack of sleep, or none thereof, can be a catalyst for mental illness. If you are struggling to sleep, you will be more prone to bouts of anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Insomnia is well known for contributing to these things and can completely change your life.
Anxiety and depression are very common mental illnesses that are very treatable providing you seek help. Most people who suffer from these conditions will not seek help and think that they can deal with it themselves.
If you have been experiencing negative symptoms as a result of an inability to sleep, then you must contact a doctor. A doctor should be able to provide you with medication to both help you sleep and help to regulate your mental health.
A lack of sleep can make you weak and tired. If you do not sleep enough, you will likely spend little time exercising and will experience constant and overwhelming fatigue that renders you unable to do anything you like, whether it be sports or reading. When you do not get enough sleep, you will also begin to experience negative physical symptoms, such as aching muscles and headaches. While these two things alone are completely treatable, if they are caused by a lack of sleep, then they cannot be treated until the lack of sleep has been addressed.
Studies have conclusively shown that poor sleep correlates with a poor diet. The best way to improve your diet is to sleep more, and a great way to improve your sleep is a better diet, paradoxical, I know. By eating healthier food, you will get a better quality of sleep all around.
You must ensure that you do not eat sugary foods leading up to your bedtime, as this is a common pitfall made, and can contribute to poor quality of sleep, or no sleep.
A good diet is easily achieved, and if you start immediately, you will see a direct impact on your sleep, and in turn, as you get more rest, will begin to eat healthier and become more enthusiastic about your healthy living.
Exercising is another thing that can improve your sleep drastically. Exercise is a great way to get a better quality of rest. If you struggle to feel tired, then exercise will be able to help; by exercising a few hours before bed, you will be exhausted when your head hits the pillow and will drift off to sleep easily.
Now you know a few ways that you can improve your overall sleep and quality of life. A lack of sleep can affect your life in ways you may not have considered.

Have you incorporated these immunity-boosting habits in your routine? – The Indian Express
By: Lifestyle Desk | New Delhi | Published: July 13, 2020 10:50:22 am Heres how you can build immunity with yoga. (Source: Getty Images/Thinkstock)
In these unprecedented times, we are constantly questioning our immunity. But, beyond the pandemic concerns, its also our current diet and lifestyle that results in a weak immune system. Stress is another factor that affects our immunity. Today, in the midst of COVID-19, people with a weak immune system are at high risk of getting infected, says Rohini Patil, nutritionist and founder of Nutracy Lifestyle.
As we are aware, the body is a reflection of our lifestyles. So, here is a checklist of habits to build a stronger immunity system. Alongside, make sure you are also following these COVID-safety guidelines from the health ministry.

Following an alkaline diet
Rohini explains, An alkaline body prevents diseases and keeps you healthy. Eating alkaline foods balances the pH level of the body, decreases inflammation and boosts immunity. It is important that you add alkaline foods to your diet, like green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits along with seasonal fruits such as mango and watermelon. Dont forget to incorporate root vegetables along with ginger and garlic etc. Eating these will help in making your body alkaline.
Following a healthy diet and eating locally
Your diet should thoroughly consist of citrus fruits like oranges, lemons which are rich in vitamin C along with foods rich in proteins like white chana, eggs and chicken. Also make it a point to consume green tea and lukewarm water. Rohini mentions, Drinking enough water staves off infection and eliminates bacteria and toxins naturally.
Eat local and seasonal produce. During summers, watery fruits like watermelon help to keep our body hydrated while during winters fresh soup provides warmth to the body, says the nutritionist. Fresh food is highly rich in nutrients compared to preserved ones.

Manage your stress
With plans coming to a halt, along with working from home and dealing with salary-cuts, stress is a major issue faced by most people. Rohini says, During stress, the immune system mobilises the cells that fight and manages stressful scenarios, which weakens the immunity for fighting viruses and germs. Thus, stress management becomes all the more important. Make sure you go for a walk or practice journaling or even meditation. Simply listening to music or doing something creative also helps calm your senses down.
Get your sleep cycle back in the routine
Sleep helps in the proper functioning of the immune system and is good for metabolism and mental health, says Rohini Patil. A minimum of seven to eight hours of sleep are a must since sleep deprivation reduces the release of proteins called cytokines and infection-fighting cells that makes your immune system weak.

Jonny Brownlee: what does he eat? – 220 Triathlon
On a typical training day, what do you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks?
For breakfast, Ill have porridge with red berries, banana, and honey, or Greek yogurt. Ill then snack on a hot cross bun or have some toast. For lunch, Ill have a ham and pepper omelette with a side salad, followed by Greek yogurt and muesli for pudding. In the afternoon, Ill snack on Greek yogurt or toast. Alternatively, Ill have a nutritional bar before a hard session, or a protein bar after a hard session. For dinner, I usually have fajitas and salad, or meatballs and pasta. If its been a long training day, then Ill have apple crumble and custard to finish.
What are your perfect pre, during and post-race fuels and hydration?
The night before a race, Ill have chicken and rice as its simple on the stomach. For breakfast Ill have porridge and toast, and a nutritional bar two hours before. Ill then sip on an energy drink until the race starts but have no more than 750ml.
During the race, Ill have one 750ml bottle of an energy drink, plus one bottle of water, and gels.
Post-race, Ill hopefully get to have a sip of champagne on the podium, but Ill definitely have a recovery shake, and normally a burger and chips as a treat!
What does your typical training day look like, from waking up to going to bed?
Every day is different. I train 30-35 hours a week 10 hours of running, 15-20 hours of riding, and about seven hours of swimming plus two gym sessions a week.
Wednesday is my longest day. I wake up at 6.45am, and swim 6km between 7.30-9.30am, before eating my bircher muesli. I then run approximately 14km at 10am, and then have a decent lunch. After that, its a 1pm ride for four hours with a caf stop, where I manage approximately 100km. Then its a stretch in the late afternoon.
Monday and Friday are easier days, whereas Tuesday is the most intense day, with a hard swim in the morning, and a hard run in the evening. On Thursdays I have a hard swim in the morning, followed by a hard bike day, and Saturdays consist of a hard run session day, and a long ride.
Jonny Brownlees 5 top tips on how to maintain a healthy diet plan:
1. Stick to the plan: It needs to be a long-term plan if you want to continue with eating healthily, as it will then become a habit. There may be days where you dont eat so well and if so, dont beat yourself up and try to overcompensate the next day. Just go back to your plan and eat consistently well.
2. Incorporate goals into your plan: For example, eat a minimum of five fruit and veg a day, or limit yourself to eating chocolate once a week.
3. Reward yourself: That doesnt necessarily mean with food! Everyone has different ways of rewarding themselves. It could be a simple pat on the back, but you need to acknowledge the fact that you are sticking to the plan, and thats a good thing!
4. Its always easier if someone is eating the same way as you: Whether its a friend or a housemate, it means you can share the good recipes and the not-so-good ones which makes it easier to stick to the plan.
5. Eat something as soon as you can after exercising: You should eat something ideally within 20 minutes after finishing your workout, as it will stop you from coming home starving and emptying the fridge!
William Hill has carried out some research into the diet of top triathletes and cyclists including Scott Thwaites from UCI ProTeam . The report includes interviews with Louise Sutton, Head of Sport and Exercise Nutrition at the Carnegie School of Sports, Leeds Beckett University.
