Why do we need Food when we are hungry? by Dr harold Gunatillake – Health writer We all love food whether we are in the hunger mode or not. Have you ever thought what mechanism works in the body to make you feel hungry? Michael Lowe, a professor of psychology at Drexel University in Philadelphia says this about hunger. “Feeling hungry can mean at least two things, and they are pretty different” There is the traditional concept of hunger when you haven’t eaten for a couple of hours, and you would feel and complain that you are hungry. Children would cry and get irritable when they get the traditional hunger pains. Your stomach start making noises, you find it difficult to concentrate on what you are doing, and the urge for food becomes a priority. Professor Lowe says,” This feeling of hunger stems from your body’s need for calories; the ...
Read More →Is Microwaved Food safe? Written by Dr Harold Gunatillake-Health writer Microwave ovens are designed to cook food through radio-active heat. That does not mean that the food becomes radio-active. The radiation energy is absorbed by the water in each cell of the food such as vegetables or meat. The water molecules vibrate and produce intra-cellular heat which cooks the food. This means that unless there are water molecules in the food you cannot cook in a microwave oven. Fortunately, there is no food that contains no water although some come close. Meat and poultry are composed of naturally occurring water, muscles, connective tissue. The muscle is about 75% water It is important to follow the instructions given by the manufacturers in using the oven to cook food. In the modern ovens used in good condition is safe. When old, there may be a leakage of radiation through a non-fitting door, ...

MY SENIORS’ WEEK FESTIVAL 2016 STORY – MARIE PIETERSZ I have always been interested in community work and as an English tutor I have worked with many migrant adults and students. Then an opportunity came along when I was approached to teach dancing to seniors. I thought what a wonderful way it would be for my interests as a dancer, tutor and community worker to come together. Before long I was feeling good about the opportunity to help seniors learn lifelong skills through dancing, one of the best exercises one could claim for everybody, and for seniors to help with memory, fitness, flexibility, freedom of movement and exercises for bone density, through gentle cardio workouts. I have been teaching dancing to seniors now for about 10 years. My voluntary classes at the University of the Third Age have grown, sometimes with a waiting list of over a year to get in. It ...

PROBLEMS WITH PILES by Des Kelly “the Star of eLanka” This writer has heard everything now!. As a former Lead/Rhythm guitarist, over the years, I’ve lost them, had trouble with them, they were either too big or too small, too stiff or too soft, found it very difficult to get one that was “just right”& for my readers who are not musicians, I am talking about “plectrums” or “picks”. These were little pieces of plastic held between thumb and forefinger in order to “pluck” the steel strings to make them more audible to the audience. Sounds extremely “technical” does’nt it? Expert guitarists did’nt need plectrums. They used their fingernails to do the job but I was just an average instrumentalist and have used bloody dozens if the “things”(picks, I mean).
