DO YOU KNOW THIS?

The Two islands are incredibly close to each other, separated by only 5 km of sea, and in winter, you can walk through the frozen water to get from one to the other.  

Imagine that you start your journey at 10:00 in the morning, and expect to arrive in about an hour. 

When you arrive, the clock shows an illogical time. The islands are located on both sides of the “International Date Line”, with a time difference of 22 hours. 

Walking the distance takes you practically to a different day. These wonderful islands are located between America and Russia. 

They are called Yesterday's Little Diomede Island and Tomorrow's Big Diomede Island.

WATER.

The human body's water content typically ranges from 50% to 70%, not 60% to 75%. Babies have a higher water percentage, around 75% to 78%, which drops to about 65% by age one year.

The average daily water loss for an adult is around 2.5 to 3 liters. Sources of water loss include breathing, perspiration, and urine and bowel movements.

To replenish this loss and maintain water balance, the recommended daily fluid intake for men is about 3.7 liters (15.5 cups) and for women about 2.7 liters (11.5 cups). 

This includes fluids consumed from both food and beverages, not just plain water. Generally, about 20% of your daily water intake comes from food.

Therefore, only drinking 1 liter of water daily may not be sufficient for most healthy adults to adequately replenish the water lost throughout the day. 

Individual hydration needs can vary depending on factors such as:

Activity level: Increased activity and sweating require more fluid intake.

Climate: Hot or humid weather also necessitates additional fluids.

Overall health: Fever, vomiting, or diarrhea can increase fluid needs, while certain health conditions like heart or kidney problems might necessitate limiting fluid intake. 

It is important to consult with a medical professional if you have concerns about water intake in the context of specific health conditions. 

Pregnancy and breastfeeding:These conditions often require increased fluid intake.

It is important to emphasize: The information provided here is for general knowledge and should not be considered medical advice. 

Always consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate amount of water intake for your specific needs.

Mixing coffee and milk.

The order of adding milk to coffee or coffee to milk is largely a matter of personal preference. 

Some people prefer adding milk to coffee, while others prefer the reverse. 

The main difference is in how the milk and coffee mix, which can slightly affect the taste and appearance of the drink. 

Here's a breakdown of the different approaches: 

Pouring milk into coffee: 

More common:
This is the most common way to add milk to coffee. 

Easier to control:
It allows for more precise control over the amount of milk added, especially when using a small amount of milk. 

Subtler taste change:
The milk tends to swirl into the coffee more gradually, potentially resulting in a less drastic change in flavor and a more visually blended drink. 

May prevent milk from scorching:
If you are using a steam wand, adding milk to coffee first can help prevent the milk from scorching, as it is not in direct contact with the heating element for as long. 

Pouring coffee into milk: 

Less common:
This method is less frequently used. 

Potential for more dramatic mixing:
The coffee, when poured into the milk, can mix more vigorously, potentially leading to a more dramatic change in the drink's appearance and flavor. 

Might create a more pronounced coffee flavor:
Some believe that this method can lead to a more pronounced coffee flavor in the final drink, as the milk is less likely to dilute the coffee initially. 

May require more milk:
This method might require a slightly larger amount of milk to achieve the desired dilution, as the coffee will initially be more concentrated. 

Ultimately, the best way to mix coffee and milk is the way you prefer. 

Here are some additional factors to consider:

Type of coffee:
The type of coffee you're using (e.g., espresso, drip coffee) and the desired strength can influence how much milk you need and how it mixes with the coffee. 

Type of milk:
Different types of milk (e.g., whole milk, skim milk, almond milk) have different fat and protein content, which can affect the taste and texture of the coffee. 

Personal taste:
Some people prefer a more subtle coffee flavor, while others prefer a stronger coffee taste. Experiment with both methods to see which one you like best. 

Visual appearance:
Some people prefer a more blended look, while others prefer a more layered or marbled effect. 

GENEROSITY !!!

A kind man had been quietly giving a homeless stranger Rs.1,000 each month. One day, he handed over just Rs.750. The man accepted it with a shrug—“Better than nothing”—and walked away.

The following month, it was only Rs.500. Frustrated, the homeless man confronted his benefactor:

“You used to give me Rs.1,000. Then it dropped to Rs.750. Now it’s only Rs.500—what’s going on?”

The benefactor sighed and explained:

“When I first started, my finances were comfortable and all my children were little. Then my daughter went off to university and tuition bills forced me to cut back to Rs.750. Now my son has also started college, so I can only manage Rs.500.”

The homeless man frowned and asked, “How many children do you have?”

“Four,” came the answer.

“And you expect to cover all their college fees with MY money?”

🤔 Sometimes people begin to view generosity not as a gift, but as an entitlement.
