Our old rice varieties that boost immunity

Of all the grains, rice is the most widely used in the world. Rice is also a staple food in the East, East and some Latin American countries. Many people prefer white e-fermented rice. However, most of the vitamins and minerals in rice are destroyed during fermentation. Following the old method of home-cooked paddy, some of the vitamins in rice are protected from moving to the center of the grain.

High in anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties used by our ancestors. Research on the nutritional and medicinal properties of traditional rice varieties in Sri Lanka has revealed that it can be used as a traditional rice carrier to control and control non-communicable diseases as well as enhance immunity.

Do you need a balanced diet to boost your immune system?

Viral infections occur most quickly when a person's immune system is weakened. Therefore, it is important to have a balanced diet to boost our immunity. Scientists have long recognized that people living in poverty and malnourished are at higher risk for many diseases.

Eat foods rich in vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, protein and antioxidants that are needed to strengthen white blood cells and increase cell count. It is important to drink enough water. Consumption of sugar, fat and salt should also be reduced to significantly reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some cancers. Breast milk is the main food that boosts the immune system of babies.

Colostrum triglyceride, which is secreted from the mother's nipples as soon as the baby is born, is needed to maintain the baby's future nutritional status and health. Cholesterol is high in protein and contains white blood cell antibodies that are needed to protect the baby from disease.

What is the immune system?

Our body is constantly exposed to micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses. Our body has the ability to prevent such a substance from entering the body and to destroy it if it has grown. Germs can enter the body and cause disease. In such a case, the white blood cells have the ability to swallow the germs. Or they produce antibodies to destroy those germs.

In this way the immune system helps to protect our body.Immunizations also provide immunity to the body. This vaccination is called immunization.

Family: Psittaculidae

An extremely rare species of bird of prey, vultures and parrots inhabit the forests and mountains of New Guinea. Settlements can be, perhaps, perhaps, so be it. ‘The ghost.

Although the exterior is frightening, this bird, known as Dracula, is not a blood-sucking person. His scientific name is Psittrichas fulgidus. The bird is said to be the only member of the genus.

This parrot is quite large. The neck is covered with black and gray feathers, like a short coat surrounded by a dark red body. The feathers on the head fall off over time. Eyes shining like beads. The curved beak with its small round head protrudes like that of a vulture that preys on animals.

This nomadic parrot is accustomed to a special diet. It feeds on organisms, insects, pests, and nectar and flowers attached to plant stems.

Unlike other birds, they do not walk on branches. Just jumping from branch to branch.

Female and male Dracula parrots differ slightly. There is a red spot behind the male bird's eyes. The female lays her eggs twice at a time in nests in the large nests of trees. These are often in pairs or groups. There are about 20 parrots in each group.

The sound of Dracula parrots screaming loudly to communicate with each other can be heard even from a distance.

In addition to New Guinea's forests, Dracula's are now found in several zoos around the world.

Three gorges dam slowing down the Earth's rotation.

Address: Zigui County, Yichang, Hubei, China

Spillway capacity: 116,000 m³/s (4,100,000 cu ft/s)

Total capacity: 39.3 km³ (31,900,000 acre⋅ft)

Capacity factor: 45%

Installed capacity: 22,500 MW

Archimedes Once said that he could lift the earth with the help of a lever that had a place to stand and a suitable length. Can humans really influence the movement of the earth? Today we are going to tell you about a wonderful human creation that was able to influence the movement of the earth in that way. This is the story of the world’s largest power plant, which is named based on the amount of energy it produces.

China’s Thr
ee Gorges Dam is the world’s largest hydroelectric plant based on the amount of energy it produces. The dam was built in the Yichang area of Hubei Province, China, across the Yangtze River. It is 2335m long and 181m high and can hold about 27200 million liters of water. Launched in 2003, it has been producing 22,500 MW of power since 2012.

Although the reservoir was able to generate a power of 101.6 TW, breaking this record in 2018, it is still second only to the record of 123 TW generating energy in 2016 by the Itaipu Dam between Brazil and Paraguay. However, the three-gorge power plant is still the largest power-producing hydropower plant in a year.

The construction of the three gorges dam was prompted by the Yangtze advice to reduce flooding in the lower slopes due to the Yangtze River. However, it is correct to say that the world economy today also depends on this dam. According to economists, 15 percent of the world's manufacturing process is done with the energy it generates.
