Regular strength training acts as a powerful prescription for skeletal longevity, serving as a critical defense against the natural decline of bone density.  When you lift weights or perform resistance exercises, your muscles pull against your bones, creating mechanical stress that triggers a cellular remodeling process.  This targeted strain activates osteoblasts, the specialized cells responsible for laying down new bone tissue and reinforcing existing skeletal structures.   Over time, consistent resistance training not only preserves bone mass but actually increases mineral density, significantly reducing the long-term risk of developing debilitating conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia.  By fortifying the skeletal framework, regular training ensures that your body remains resilient, agile, and structurally capable of handling the physical demands of daily life.   Without the stimulus of regular strength training, bones progressively weaken t...

For decades, egg yolks were blamed for raising cholesterol and harming heart health.  As a result, many people threw away the yolk and ate only the whites.  Today, the science looks more nuanced.  Egg yolks contain important nutrients such as choline, vitamin B12, selenium, vitamin D, and lutein.  Research suggests that for most healthy people, eating eggs in moderation has little effect on cardiovascular risk.  That’s because blood cholesterol is influenced by many factors, including genetics, overall diet, body weight, physical activity, and lifestyle habits.  Eggs are also one of the highest-quality protein sources available, making them a popular choice for breakfast, muscle recovery, and healthy aging.  The egg didn’t change.  Our understanding of nutrition did.    Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodkumarsimkhada315@gmail.com

This fierce and magnificent sculpture depicts Narasimha, the half-man, half-lion avatar of Bhagwan Vishnu, in the moment He defeats Hiranyakashipu to protect His devotee Prahlada.  Hiranyakashipu had received a boon that he could not be killed by man or animal, inside or outside, during day or night, on earth or in the sky.  So Bhagwan appeared as Narasimha, neither man nor animal.  At twilight, at the threshold, He placed Hiranyakashipu on His lap and destroyed him with His claws.  Every condition of the boon was fulfilled, yet Dharma prevailed.  This remarkable stone sculpture stands at Hanuman Dhoka, Kathmandu Durbar Square, and dates to 1673, during the reign of King Pratap Malla.  Its installation is documented by an inscription on its pedestal.  Tradition also connects the image with Pratap Malla’s own Narasimha dance performance and his devotion to the deity.  Look closely at the sculpture.  The fierce expression and the powe...

EGGS FOR 7 DAYS: HERE’S WHAT RESEARCH SUGGESTS MAY HAPPEN Starting your day with eggs may help you feel fuller and less hungry compared with a higher-carbohydrate breakfast.  Why?  Eggs provide high-quality protein and relatively little carbohydrate.  In controlled studies, egg-based breakfasts have been associated with greater satiety and, in some studies, lower food intake at the next meal.  Researchers have also observed different post-meal glucose responses compared with carbohydrate-heavy breakfasts.  But the evidence isn’t universal.  One 7-day trial found greater reported fullness after eggs but no significant differences in appetite hormones or energy intake.  Bottom line: Eggs can be a filling breakfast choice, but what you eat alongside them matters too.  🧠  Sources: PubMed; randomized controlled nutrition studies.    Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodkumarsimkhada315@gmail.com

Which photo really perplexed you? A Tibetan man named Jamphel Yeshi set himself on fire during a protest in New Delhi, India.  The activists were speaking out against Chinese rule of the Himalayas. The incident occurred hours before the arrival of Chinese President Hu Jintao.  On March 26, 2012, a summit of emerging economies was organized.  Yeshi, 27, died from his injuries in the hospital.  A handwritten statement was found in his room, which read:  "The fact that the Tibetan people are setting themselves on fire in this 21st century is to let the world know of their suffering."  It is important to keep in mind that a young Tunisian man named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself ablaze in December 2010 as a means of protesting the living conditions in his country. He didn't know it, but this desperate act, which would lead to his death, would ultimately culminate in what would later be called the Arab Spring.   Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodk...

The Walk That Shouldn't Have Been Done at All. On January 11, 1992, 18-year-old John Thompson was working on his family's farm near Hurdsfield, North Dakota.  He was unloading feed with a grain auger when his loose shirt became caught in an unshielded power takeoff shaft, a rapidly rotating piece of farm machinery.  Agweek  Within seconds, Thompson suffered catastrophic injuries to both arms.  And he was alone.  There was nobody standing nearby to shut down the equipment or immediately call an ambulance.  Yet Thompson remained conscious.  What happened next became one of the most extraordinary survival stories reported in America during the 1990s.  He Got Up  Despite his injuries and severe blood loss, Thompson staggered approximately 100 yards through the freezing conditions toward his family's farmhouse.  Then he encountered another problem.  The door was closed.  Thompson reportedly opened the door by...

One of the world's longest trains (or trains) is located in Mauritania, Africa, and crosses a portion of the Western Sahara.  This train runs from the city of Zouérat, in the middle of the desert, to the coastal city of Nouadhibou.  This train is used to transport iron ore and runs along a 700-kilometer-long railway line.  The train, including all its freight cars, is approximately 3 kilometers long and carries about 20,000 tons of cargo in a single run.  It is considered the backbone of Mauritania's economy.  Although they are freight trains, many people also use them as a means of transportation.  Although it is permissible to ride in the freight cars, the journey is extremely hazardous. There is no protection from the sun, and temperatures usually exceed 40°C.  Furthermore, you will be inhaling iron ore dust, making it a harsh journey.    Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  binodkumarsimkhada315@gmail.com

The plane was literally full of babies in cardboard boxes.  And then the door exploded. April 1975, Saigon was falling.  North Vietnamese tanks were 10 miles away.  US President Gerald Ford ordered Operation Babylift - fly 3,300 Vietnamese orphans to America.  The first flight was a giant C-5A Galaxy, the biggest plane in the world.  On board were 314 people - 243 babies and children, many under 1 year old, sick, malnourished.  They had no cribs.  They were placed in cardboard boxes from the base exchange by nurses, who then used cargo nets to secure the boxes to the floor. Each box had 2-3 babies.  12 minutes after takeoff from Tan Son Nhut, at 23,000 feet, the rear cargo door blew off.  Explosive decompression.  Two flight attendants and 78 infants in the back were sucked out and died instantly as the plane filled with fog. The crippled aircraft was wrestled by Captain Bud Traynor, the pilot. He couldn't go back to Saigon - too dan...

What an amazing coincidence! It is Emile Leray, a French engineer and adventurer with an extraordinary story of survival.  On a solo trip to Morocco in 1993, the Citroën 2CV he was driving struck a large rock, damaging the chassis. Leray was stranded twenty miles from the nearest village.  He had only enough food and water to survive for ten days.  Worse still, he had no radio, no telephone, or spare tire.  Poor Leray is facing death in the vast and cruel Sahara Desert. Leray, astonishingly, did not give up. He decided to use his skills as an electrician and his mechanical knowledge to build a new vehicle that could get him out of the desert.  The impromptu project, which took twelve days and eleven nights, used tools such as hammers, pliers, saws, and drills.  Leray used his car's body as a shelter after removing the body. He then took three wheels from his car and attached them to a shortened frame, which he fixed with axles.  Leray then co...

Coffee, according to many, gives you energy. It doesn’t.  Caffeine works primarily by blocking adenosine, a chemical that gradually builds up in the brain throughout the day and contributes to feelings of tiredness.  Even though coffee doesn't actually give your body new energy, it can make you feel more alert and focused. Research suggests caffeine may help:  • Improve alertness and concentration  • Reduce the perception of fatigue  • Support exercise performance  • Enhance reaction time and focus  The catch?  Coffee can’t replace sleep.  When caffeine wears off, the underlying sleep pressure is still there.  That’s why the best combination for sustained energy isn’t more caffeine—it’s quality sleep, regular physical activity, and good nutrition.  Coffee can be a useful tool, but it works best when it’s supporting healthy habits rather than replacing them.    Writer: Binod Kumar Simkhada  bi...
