IF YOU EAT THE ELEMENTS OF YOUR MEAL IN A PARTICULAR ORDER YOU CAN REDUCE THE GLUCOSE SPIKE OF THE MEAL BY 75% WHICH MEANS LESS AGEING, LESS INFLAMATION, LESS WEIGHT GAIN, FEVER CRAVINGS, etc.

Eat your food in the right order!

1. VEGETABLES FIRST 🥗 2. PROTEIN AND FATS SECOND 🥩 3. STARCHES AND SUGARS LAST 🥔

THE RIGHT ORDER IS:  

WHEN WE EAT OUR VEGETABLES FIRST DURING A MEAL, THE FIBER IN THE VEGETABLES LANDS IN OUR STOMACH FIRST THEN IN OUR UPPER INTESTINES, IT COATS THE WALLS OF OUR INTESTINE WITH VISCOUS MESH. THEN ANY STARCH OR SUGARS YOU EAT AFTERWARDS WILL BE ABSORBED TO A LESSER EXTENT IN YOUR BLOODSTREAM. THEREFORE, SMALLER GLUCOSE. BUT YOU ARE EATING THE EXACT SAME THING, JUST IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Eat your food the right way.

Water flows from high places to low places. That is the nature of gravity. Emotions also seem to act according to gravity. When in the presence of someone with whom you have a bond, and to whom you have entrusted your feelings, it is hard to lie and get away with it. The truth just wants to come flowing out. This is especially the case when you are trying to hide your sadness or vulnerability. It is much easier to conceal sadness from a stranger, or from someone you don't trust.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold

"The moment we stop listening to diverse opinions is also when we stop learning. Because the truth is we don't learn much from the sameness and monotony we usually learn from differences"

In an era characterised by insecurity, fragility and downward mobility when everything feels transient, what exactly does education guarantee?

But now a strong wind is blowing in, turning the pages too fast.

This barbarity can happen fast on a large scale not when more people turn immortal or evil, not necessarily, but when enough people become numb. When we are indifferent, disconnected, atomised. Too busy with our own lives to care about others. Interested in and unmoved by someone else's pain. That is the most dangerous emotion- the lack of emotion.

We live in an age in which there is too much information, less knowledge and even less wisdom. That ratio needs to be reversed. We definitely need less information, more knowledge, and much more wisdom.

It is a problem, the endless barrage of misinformation - let alone, misinformation. We cannot process this much, and the truth is, we don't. In reality, we only skim through the news, roll up-and-down our screens, without contemplating, and more importantly, without feeling. After a while, numbers don't mean much any more, whether it is 5000 refugees who have died or 10000, the difference doesn't and won't register unless we know the personal stories behind the statistics. Information flows amid our fingers like dry sand. It also gives us the illusion that we know the subject.

Nor should you be afraid of emotions. Whether it is angst or anger or hurt or sadness or loneliness...As human beings - regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, geography - we are emotional creatures, even those of us who like to pretend not to be, especially them. Analyse, understand and reflect upon negative emotions come from, embrace them candidly, but also notice if and when they become repetitive, restrictive, ritualistic and destructive.

It feels like the world is falling apart. So how do we keep hold of our optimism? How do we nurture the parts of ourselves that hope, trust and believe in something better? And how can we stay sane in this world of division?In this beautifully written and illuminating polemic, Booker Prize nominee Elif Shafak reflects on our age of pessimism, when emotions guide and misguide our politics, and misinformation and fear are the norm. A tender, uplifting plea for optimism, Shafak draws on her own memories and delves into the power of stories to reveal how writing can nurture democracy, tolerance and progress. And in the process, she answers one of the most urgent questions of our time.
