Dopamine Diet for Weight Loss: Heres how the happy hormone aids in shedding extra kilos – PINKVILLA

Posted: May 18, 2020 at 5:46 pm

Dopamine diet is a process of boosting dopamine levels in our brain. Dopamine is considered to be the happy hormone. So, heres everything you need to know about this diet plan.

Dopamine Diet, also known as Tom Kerridge Diet, is a method to increase the level of the happy hormone, dopamine, in your brain. This diet plan is also widely popular for weight loss. TV Chef Tom Kerridge made this diet plan popular and hence it was named after him. This has several versions but the base of this plan is to consume all kinds of foods that boost our dopamine levels.

This diet plan also restricts our consumption of alcohol, processed sugar, carbohydrates and caffeine. Some of the common foods that are consumed in the dopamine diet plan are eggs, bananas, dark chocolates, nuts, etc. These all are known to increase the dopamine level in our brain. So, what is the science behind this dopamine diet? Lets find out.

Dopamine diet is used for weight loss and to boost the levels of happy hormone:

What is dopamine?

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter.This chemical sends signals to the nerve cells in the brain. It has its positive impacts on the pleasure centres of the brain which improves the mood. It has been seen in research that people with overweight have a lower dopamine leveldue to the consumption of sugar and fatty foods. So, people have to reduce the intake of sugary and fatty foods along with maintaining a good dopamine level. Lower dopamine levels can also lead to overeating among people.

In this case, it is important to increase proteins intake because proteins have amino acids in it which is an essential factor for dopamine production. And it will also reduce your food cravings as proteins give you the feeling of satiety, which will directly aid in weight loss.So, the research concluded that eating a protein-rich breakfast can boost dopamine levels and also aid in weight loss. And through this, the consumption of fatty and sugary foods will also be prevented.

Foods to eat in dopamine diet

In dopamine diet, you can have these foods:

Dairy products like milk, yoghurt, cheese, etc.

Eggs.

Fruits, especially bananas.

Vegetables.

Nuts like almonds and walnuts.

Unprocessed meat like chicken.

Dark chocolates.

Salmon fish.

Here are the tips for maintaining dopamine diet:

1-Never skip your regular meals, because it will prevent sudden swings in hormones and regulate appetite.

2-Try to have more lean protein breakfast including eggs, high protein yoghurt, nuts and seeds, fruits, etc.

3-Try to incorporate monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in your diet plan. These are found in olive, sesame, safflower oils, walnuts, avocado, flaxseeds, etc.

4-Have lean proteins in lunch and dinner by adding chicken, fish, lentils, etc.

5-Practice yoga regularly as this can also increase dopamine production.

FAQ on diet and Covid-19 – The Daily Star

Posted: May 18, 2020 at 5:46 pm

There has been much talk about nutrition as a defence mechanism to reduce the chances of contracting the Coronavirus. How important is a change in our dietary intake towards fighting the virus?

Till now, the exact nature of the Coronavirus is unknown. We are practically functioning in the dark regarding the treatment protocol against Covid-19. But it's been proven long ago that a good immune system can save us from any viral or bacterial infections. Even if infected, a strong immune system can help us overcome the pathogen. So, during this pandemic, our utmost effort should be to bolster our immune systems.

To boost immunity, we need to enrich our diet with enough vitamin C (found in abundance in guava, citrus fruits, amloki, bitter guard, etc); zinc (found in spinach, beef, nuts, milk and milk products); vitamin D3, which the body can make through exposure to sunlight from 10AM to 3PM); and anti-oxidants (found in colourful fruits and vegetables); selenium, magnesium, etc.

Why is hydration considered so important?

Hydration is key to regulating the temperature of the body. And it can help lessen existing fever. Staying hydrated also means healthy membranes. When we cough, sneeze or just breathe, membranes in our nose and mouth eliminate any bacteria.

Moisture helps heal the damaged membranes so foreign organisms cannot enter the body. And also, we need to replace our lost body fluids to make the respiratory secretion thin. When we are dehydrated our respiratory secretion thickens and it becomes hard to clean our lungs naturally, which may even lead to pneumonia.

How should fruits, vegetables and other ingredients be treated before storing/consumption? Is it wise to eat takeaway from restaurants?

The main challenge for takeaway services are physical distancing, and packaging. Even if a responsible restaurant owner maintains social distancing as per protocol, there is a risk of contamination through the packaging of the foods.

The coronavirus can live for hours to days on various surfaces. Some strains of coronavirus live for only a few minutes, while others live for up to 5 days. So, it is best to disinfect all the sealed packaging with disinfectant spray or wash with detergent thoroughly. But when the packaging is not sealed, then its better to keep it in a place of the house out of reach of the family members for 5 days before storing. And for wet groceries like fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish, the packaging materials should be removed as soon as possible. Coronavirus doesn't seem to spread through exposure to food. Still, it's recommended to wash fruits and vegetables under running water and soak in lukewarm salted water for 40 minutes before eating. And finally, after storing the groceries, hands must be cleaned with disinfectant solutions.

Current evidence on other coronavirus strains shows that while it appears to be stable at low and freezing temperatures for a certain period, food hygiene and good food safety practices can prevent their transmission through food.

The amount of time coronavirus survives on food packaging depends on the material it is made from; for example, 5 days on metal; 4 days on wood; 2 to 3 days on plastics like milk containers; 2 to 3 days on stainless steel like walls of refrigerators, pots and pans, sinks, some water bottles; 2 to 8 hours on soda cans, tinfoil, water bottles; up to 5 days on drinking glasses, measuring cups; 5 days on ceramic dishes, pottery, mugs etc.

The coronavirus crisis has led people to unprecedented financial hardships. What types of food would you suggest for people to include in their diet at an affordable price?

At this moment, not only for the economic crisis, even for those who do not want to go to the grocery shops to maintain social isolation guidelines, sprouted Bengal gram is a rich source of vitamin C. If there is crisis of meat and fish, we can prepare khichuri (the mixture of lentils and rice) as a source of first-class proteins. We should depend upon seasonal colourful vegetables as a rich source of vitamins and minerals.

What should be included in the dietary chart of those who have unfortunately contracted the coronavirus? Should the diet change as they recover?

A Covid-19 positive patient must include high protein diet to stabilise the immune system. Also, as per World Health Organization (WHO) guideline, a patient needs a minimum intake of 2.5 litres of fluid, and fresh and healthy vitamin rich foods, restrict raw sugar, and include at least 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruits per day.

Black cumin, ginger, honey, turmeric these all have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, so they can be included in the diet as well.

Lastly, can diet alone help prevent Covid-19?

No, diet alone cannot fight the coronavirus. Proper and balanced amount of exercise, sound mental health and to maintain all the protocols of hygiene and physical distancing are equally important.

Senior police officers in the western suburbs (Bandra to Jogeshwari) have distributed steam vaporisers to their personnel. The policemen have been asked to use them twice a day to keep their respiratory tracts clean. It is a good initiative. But it is also important to take other safety measures like using PPE kits and maintaining social distancing, said Dr SM Patil, police surgeon.

Ankit Goyal, DCP, zone 10 said In my zone, we gave vaporisers to almost everyone. Some of them were bought from additional commissioner of polices (welfare) fund while others paid for it from their pocket.

Kawais offered cash to 30 local leaders before Diet election : The Asahi Shimbun – Asahi Shimbun

Posted: May 18, 2020 at 5:46 pm

A former justice minister and his wife offered more than 7 million yen ($65,300) to at least 30 local leaders in an apparent attempt to gain her votes last year, The Asahi Shimbun has found.

The finding comes at a time when prosecutors are looking into a suspected vote-buying case involving Katsuyuki Kawai, a Lower House member of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and Anri Kawai, an LDP member who won her Upper House seat in the election in question last year.

The Kawais have denied allegations that they violated the Public Offices Election Law during voluntary questioning by the Hiroshima District Public Prosecutors Office, sources said.

The lawmakers also did not reply by the evening of May 17 to The Asahi Shimbun to confirm or deny the cash offers to the local leaders and the purpose of such acts.

In interviews with The Asahi Shimbun, 30 people acknowledged that the couple handed them cash before the Upper House election on July 21. Anri ran in the election from the Hiroshima constituency.

Those people were: nine prefectural assembly members; 10 city assembly members; one town assembly member; one former prefectural assembly member: two heads of local governments; four members of a support group; and three campaign staff members.

Some of the 30 said they either refused to accept the money or returned the cash to the couple.

The amount of cash offered ranged from 50,000 yen to 600,000 yen. About 40 percent of those who were offered money said the amount was 300,000 yen.

No receipts were created when the money changed hands.

Katsuyuki, who managed his wifes campaign activities, brought the cash to 28 of the 30 people, they said. The remaining two were offered cash by either Anri or a prefectural assembly member who accompanied her.

The cash was offered between March last year, when Anri announced her intention to enter the Upper House election, and July, when the election was held.

The money was given under the name of gift to an election campaign as a sign of support or gift to congratulate on winning a seat.

In April, the prefectural assembly election and eight municipal elections were held in Hiroshima Prefecture.

A man who won a prefectural assembly seat recalled that Katsuyuki visited his office in late April.

You are popular with voters, the man quoted Katsuyuki as telling him.

Before Katsuyuki left the office, he put an envelope on the desk, saying, This is to congratulate you on your success in the election.

The assemblyman thought the envelope contained gift certificates. But he found it was filled with 300,000 yen in cash.

He said he figured that Katsuyuki gave the money to win his support for Anris election campaign. The assemblyman said he was going to return the money but did not have the opportunity to do so.

He also told The Asahi Shimbun that he gave the same account to prosecutors when he was questioned on a voluntary basis.

Other assembly members also assumed the money was intended to round up votes.

I believed the cash offer was meant to seek support for Anri in the Upper House election, one of them said.

Some of them said they could not return the money because they feared retribution from Katsuyuki, who served as special adviser to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Hiroshi Tatemichi, an official aide to Anri, was given 300,000 yen while a 71-year-old clerical supervisor on Anris campaign staff was handed 600,000 yen, according to people who were interviewed by The Asahi Shimbun.

Tatemichi has been on trial on charges of violating the Public Offices Election Law by providing payments exceeding the legal limit to staff members who called out Anris name from campaign vehicles during the race.

Yoshiro Iriyama, the mayor of Otake in the prefecture, told The Asahi Shimbun that he refused to accept an envelope from Katsuyuki because he believed that it contained cash.

Shinji Kosaka, the mayor of Akiota in the prefecture, resigned last month after admitting to accepting 200,000 yen from the Kawais.

In the Upper House election, the LDPs prefectural chapter intended to field veteran incumbent Kensei Mizote as the partys sole candidate.

But the party headquarters in Tokyo set out to take both seats, allowing Anri to enter the race on the LDP ticket.

According to a source close to the LDP, the party headquarters since April has transferred a total of 150 million yen to a party branch represented by the Kawais, who are said to be also close to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.

The figure is 10 times the sum that Mizote had received from LDP headquarters.

In the election, a candidate backed by opposition parties garnered the most votes. Anri placed second, giving her a Diet seat for the first time.

Mizote lost his seat in the election.

Katsuyuki, who is from a constituency in Hiroshima Prefecture, became justice minister in September. But he resigned in late October after reports surfaced in a weekly magazine about possible election violations regarding payments to Anris campaign staff.

Posted: May 18, 2020 at 5:46 pm

The latest headlines in your inbox twice a day Monday - Friday plus breaking news updates

Questions have been raised over whether people with diabetes should shield during the coronavirus pandemic.

After the NHS found 26 per cent of patients who have died in hospitals in England after contracting coronavirus had diabetes, the Government was asked whether people with the condition should be added to the list.

Speaking on the matter at the daily Downing Street briefing on Saturday, England's deputy chief medical officer advised those with type 2 diabetes to think about their diet and exercise to help minimise the risks.

We are reviewing all of these different risk factors together to try and give a much more proportional representation of who might be at risk," Dr Jenny Harries said.
