Saturated fat Vs Unsaturated fat

I hail from a coastal region, where consumption of coconut & using coconut oil as a cooking medium is very common. Many in my town have their own cattle farms & therefore use homemade Butter & Ghee lavishly. In fact, while cooking for children, only animal fats like butter & ghee are used.  Based on the amount of saturated fat I have consumed, I & everyone from the coastal town should be obese & at a high risk of heart attack , i.e if most of the doctors are to be believed.

Internet is littered with article which says “Saturated Fat is bad for you”.  The world believed it & the consumption of saturated fat came down drastically. On an average, we are consuming much less butter & animal fat than what we were consuming 30-40 years back. However this lifestyle change has not brought about the desired result!  The rate of heart attacks are alarmingly high & ever on the increase. This one statistic is enough to rubbish the theory of saturated fat being bad for you.

Perfect Suit for Gentlemen

It was during my early days in Dubai,while working in the corporate banking sector, wearing suits became mandatory. Actually, the prospect of wearing suit and working in corporate atmosphere really thrilled me those days. Even after so many years, my experience of first suit is still fresh in the memory,refusing to fade away…….

Dubai is full of shopping malls and always one can find discount sale in every shops. If you are not careful, the salesman will trick you into buying what they want to get rid off from their shelf. After much bargaining and trial rounds I choose my first suit, an olive green double breasted suit with little alteration to adjust the trouser length. The next day, I heard my colleagues commenting on my awful style sense! It looked as if I had borrowed my elder brothers’ suit and was struggling to keep them out of my way ! Word spread, and I understood that it was the wrong color and pattern which made me a laughing stock! The same evening I bought another suit, a three button, single breast, off white suit which hung on me like I was about to box some one. My hard earned saving was down the drain! My well wishers, Sunish Vasudevan & Irfan Khan, came to my rescue and gave me some tips on latest trend.

How to help your kids eat healthy ?

It is an alarming trend we see today – Youngsters suffering from stroke, high cholesterol levels, blood sugar problems etc. The root cause of all this is unhealthy lifestyle.  Junk food, carcinogenic aerated drinks and lifeless processed food etc have enticed the younger generation with smart advertisement campaigns.

How can an individual like you & me fight back against these giant companies who spend billions in their ad campaigns? The fight begins & ends at home. Inculcating healthy eating habits in kids is the responsibility of parents. This is easier said than done because children always seem to have the last say as far as their food habits are concerned. Developing lifelong healthy eating practices requires patience & commitment from the parents. We fail many times by trying to impose our opinions on then.

I am not a psychologist, but am a doting father & have observed these behavioral patterns in kids:
