Most
 of us have probably heard of probiotics and prebiotics in recent days, 
but do you happen to know what they are exactly and how they can be 
beneficial to your health? If you have some knowledge about nutrition, 
you will understand the prominence of prebiotics and probiotics, which 
aids in health improvement.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Prebiotics</strong> are non-digestible food components which are
 natural and acts as an excellent support for the natural growth of 
useful bacteria in the human body. They are termed as good bacteria 
promoters. Consumption of the prebiotic food will enhance calcium level 
in the body, and they are also responsible for gastrointestinal health 
improvement. There is no necessity to consume separate pills for 
prebiotic development; they are available in certain food items like 
onions, garlic, bananas, soybeans, whole-wheat foods, asparagus, 
artichokes and much more.<br />
<br />
<strong>Probiotics</strong> are nothing but good bacteria which are 
naturally available in the body and are responsible for repopulation of 
intestinal bacteria. Probiotics are also responsible for management of 
bowel syndrome symptoms. Other than these, probiotics will help in the 
prevention of allergic symptoms, reduction of lactose intolerance etc. 
Probiotics are available in non-dairy food products like miso, cultured 
non-dairy yogurts, kimchi etc.<br />

<b>Here are the reasons why eggs are considered to be the perfect super foods:</b><br />
<ol>
<li><b>Eggs contain Antioxidants: </b>Eggs contain 
antioxidants such as Lutein and Zeaxanthin that help in providing 
nourishment to the eyes. It prevents certain diseases such as macular 
degeneration and eye cataracts.</li>
<li><b>They are a nutrient powerhouse: </b>They contain heart
 healthy fats, protein, Vitamins, minerals and other trace nutrients. 
They are also rich in Phosphorus, iron and Vitamin A. Don’t throw the 
yolk away fearing its cholesterol content as it contains most of the 
egg’s nutrients.</li>
<li><b>They promote satiety: </b>The carbohydrate content in eggs not being excessive, it spares the blood sugar levels
 from the dreaded spikes. Also, the high protein content of eggs tends 
to promote satiety. Eating eggs on a regular basis as a part of a 
healthy diet is known to reduce weight and lead to fat loss.</li>
<li><b>They are good for your hair and skin: </b>They contain
 Vitamin B12 and sulphur, both of them being panaceas of skin and hair 
related woes. Eggs are known to be the best sources of keratin (a type 
of protein present in nails and hair) in terms of bioavailability. 
(Bioavailability is how well a nutrient is absorbed by your body.)</li>
<li><b>Boosts good cholesterol levels in the body: </b>Regular egg consumption has been shown to increase good cholesterol levels (HDL) in the body, which in turn reduce chances of stroke and other heart diseases.</li>
<li><b>They contain protein in good amounts: </b>Eggs are the
 cheapest source of proteins and also the most readily available ones. 
They contain all the 9 essential amino acids that are required by the 
body. Eggs are one of the most preferred foods to gain muscle as the 
protein from eggs can easily be absorbed by the body. </li>

For
 a long time cholesterol in totality was seen as a bad thing for your 
body although the truth was a little more complicated than that. 
Cholesterol primarily is divided into two types, one of which can be 
categorized as bad cholesterol and the other as good cholesterol. Let's 
have an in-depth look at both the categories.<br />

<strong>LDL or Low Density Lipoprotein aka bad cholesterol -</strong>
 Cholesterol is a wax like chemical which is found all over the body and
 it has important functions to perform. Cholesterol is carried all over 
the body by Lipoproteins. The low density lipoproteins are denoted as 
bad cholesterol as they can accumulate on the walls of the blood vessels
 and cause blockages resulting in many ailments. LDL levels of 190 and 
above are considered dangerous.<br />

<strong>Some of the risks associated with it are:</strong><br />

<ol>
<li>Heart disease</li>
<li>Stroke</li>
<li>Atherosclerosis</li>
<li>peripheral artery disease among many others</li>
</ol>
<strong>HDL or High Density Lipoprotein aka good cholesterol -</strong>
 This is a form of cholesterol which is usually desired in higher 
quantities as it removes LDL from the system by dislodging it from the 
arteries and then carrying it through the blood stream into the liver. 
The liver then breaks it down and removes it from the body. Thus, higher
 number of HDL cholesterol is always desirable.<br />

<strong>Some of the ideal numbers for HDL cholesterol within the body are:</strong><br />

<ol>
<li><strong>Women -</strong> Ideal: 60 mg/dl, dangerous: 50 mg/dl or lower</li>
<li><strong>Men -</strong> Ideal: 60 mg/dl, dangerous: 50 mg/dl lower</li>
</ol>
<strong>The role of triglycerides</strong><br />

Good and bad cholesterol levels also depend on the levels of 
triglycerides within the body and not just LDL or HDL cholesterol. 
Triglycerides are another type of fat which are used to store energy 
within the body but can also affect your health. It is most associated 
with atherosclerosis when the levels of triglycerides are high within 
the body.<br />

<strong>Some habits that contribute to high levels of it are</strong><br />

<ol>
<li>Lack of physical activity</li>
<li>Obesity or being overweight</li>
<li>Excesses in alcohol consumption</li>
<li>Smoking</li>
<li>Bad diet and others</li>
</ol>
Thus, the good cholesterol versus bad cholesterol war also includes 
other factors, most of which can be easily changed by making subtle 
changes in life style and incorporating healthier habits. This will 
increase the good cholesterol and the other relevant elements and reduce
 the bad.</div>

An unemployed engineer graduate was looking out for a suitable job in his stream.<br /><br />
He attended several exams and many personal interviews, only to be rejected.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Being fed up after so many months of his job hunt, he decided to get into any job that can satisfy his food and daily needs.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />He visited a circus group and asked for a job.<br /><br />
But the owner said that there wasn't any job for his education level. Also he said that there is a vacancy to<br />act as a monkey and perform funny actions. The unemployed youth accepted the offer since he can at least afford his daily food.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />So he dressed up as a monkey and entertained the audience. One day while he was performing the<br />monkey skills, he accidentally fell into the lion's ring.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Everyone was shocked as the monkey fell into lion's ring. No one knew that he was a man dressed up as a monkey.<br />
<br />The man himself was dreadful and feared for his life.<br /><br />
He felt pity for himself as he going to be a victim of unemployment.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />The lion came closer to him but didn't attack.<br /><br />
He was surprised. The lion whispered,<br />
