HEALTH BENEFITS OF PRAWNS
2007-08-22 03:41:00 Prawns are an excellent source of protein and iron, zinc and vitamin E. They have very little fat and virtually no saturated fat and are a good source of omega 3 fatty acids. A serving of 100 grams of flesh from prawns will provide approximately 130 mg of cholesterol or about one-eighth our normal cholesterol production in our body. When we eat prawns, our body must reduce the amount of cholesterol it produces. However, if our diet is high in saturated fat and we have the 'wrong' genes, our cholesterol-production mechanism may not work effectively and the cholesterol from prawns or fish or any other animal food can add to what our body is making which may be several grams per day. The quantity of ready-made cholesterol we get from prawns will be only a fraction of the total cholesterol We must reduce the saturated fat in our diet. Prawns have virtually no saturated fat, when we get them grilled, steamed or cooked with a 'good' unsaturated fat like olive oil. Prawns mus... More About: Health , Benefits , Prawns , Heal

PROFESSIONALS WORKING ABROAD- BRAIN DRAIN OR BRAIN GAIN.
2007-08-17 13:28:00 The movement of professionally trained people or knowledge workers from one country to another is not a new phenomenon. During the "colonial period" the flow was primarily from the ruling countries to the colonies. In the new international order that has been emerging since the end of the Second World War, when many colonies became independent and are called "developing countries", there has been a reversal of the flow. At present, knowledge workers migrate from the developing or poor countries to the developed or rich ones. This flow is known as "brain drain". In India a recent study estimated that out of the annual output of highly qualified young men and women, 7.3 per cent in Engineering, 2.8 per cent in Medicine and 2.1 per cent in the Natural Sciences move to other countries in search of better earnings and conditions of work. Another study found that around 25% of the B.Tech. graduates from the Indian Institutes of Technology are moving out of the country. In the ar...

This alters our perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.In very small quantities, alcohol may help us to feel more relaxed or less anxious. But exceess...
