How much salt is TOO MUCH salt ?


For men and women above 50 an advice from a doctor to reduce salt could become a nightmare.

Reduce Salt, your physician advises.  You want to obey him. 
But you do not know how much salt you are permitted to use in your food every day.

And each day, when you look at your dinner plate, you are reminded of your doctor's advice.

Now the question is
HOW MUCH is TOO MUCH ?
Again, we hardly know how much salt our food that invariably consists of processed food, fried chips, contain apart from vegetables that also contain salt.

Now, coming to salt, you are not the only one unable to distinguish or understand the difference between common salt and salt contained in various vegetables.

Is sea salt common salt ?

Various Salt companies also talk of a compelling necessity to use iodine based or mixed salt.

Why iodine has to be mixed with salt.


take the quiz to find out your understanding of MAXIMUM SALT U CAN TAKE IN EACH DAY.

நா விரும்புவதை எல்லாம் நோ சொல்லாமல் சாப்பிடுங்கள்.

தொந்தி கணபதி போல் நீங்களும் இருக்கிறீர்களா ?

இடுப்பைச் சுற்றி இருக்கும் கொழுப்பு சதை உங்களை குண்டு என பெயர் வாங்கி கொடுக்கிறதா ?

தேவையில்லாத சதை , ஊளைச் சதை எதனால் ஏற்படுகிறது ?

அதிகமாகச் சாப்பிடுவதா ?
அடிக்கடி சாப்பிடுவதா ?

இல்லை. மரபு காரணமா ?

சூப்பர் தொந்தி சூப்பர் சாப்பாடு. 

நீங்கள் மது அருந்துபவர் இல்லை என்றாலும் உங்கள் பித்தநீர் பை செயல் இழந்து போவதற்கு உங்கள் உணவுகள் தான் காரணமா ?

NAFLD அதாவது non alcoholic fatty liver disease தற்சமயம்
அதிகமாக உள்ளது என மருத்துவர்கள் ஆய்வு கூறுகிறது.
ஆண்களைக் காட்டிலும் நடுத்தர வயதுக்குள் வர இருக்கும் பெண்கள் அதிகம் பாதிக்கபடுகிறார்கள் எனவும் ஆய்வு சொல்லுகிறது. .

கொழுப்பு  அதிகம் உள்ள உணவுகளை நிறுத்தினால் மட்டும் போதாது.

அதிகம் சக்கரை உள்ள உணவுகளையும் மிதமாகவே சாப்பிடுதல் நல்லது.

LUNG SCREENING. Is this a boon or bane !!



Most of us, if not all, not infrequently, cough and cough , irritating us first , later to disturb our sleep at the night.

All the pathological tests including searching for any bacterial infection, ESR , CP protein test PLUS the dreaded Chest X ray do not reveal anything abnormal , save t the bills you get from the clinic.
Courtesy: webmd

Starting first with anti allergic syrup like cetriine or levocetrizine, only to add an antibiotic after a couple of days , the doctor would then put you possibly on steroids.

And all the time, you cough and cough and cough .

One day, the doctor advises you to go for lung screening by a PET scan

POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY as the name itself suggests reveals not only the pathological aspects but also shows before your eyes how your lungs and also the tissues associated with your lungs work.


What are the  advantages that a PET scan has over and above a CT scan ?
And especially what are the risks ?
YOU ASK THE DOCTOR. HE TELLS YOU :GO AND GET IT. THAT IS ALL WHAT I CAN SAY.
YOU ARE SCARED.
YOU DO NOT GO TO THE SCAN CENTRE.
YOU POSSIBLY RUN.
A DYE IS ADMINISTERED INTO YOUR VEINS.
A VISUAL OF HOW YOUR LUNGS FUNCTION IS SAVED IN YOUR USB PORT.OR
A question is arising in the minds of those who manage lung cancers in USA
whether by advising a routing PET scan
are you indeed preparing a would be cancer case to a
potential lung cancer patient?

Today I had my teeth.................Cleaned !!!!

The denture that made me proud just three years ago had possibly made me its slave.

It required  to clean it thoroughly day by day night by night before bed, after every food (not just lunch and dinner alone, but even with a sip of coffee or tea in my friend's house.)

 That day I remembered when I was at the Seventh Heaven of Joy when Dr.Shankar Guhan placed inside my mouth a wonderful denture which made me look at the mirror every moment to be hilarious.

if you have not seen this video ere this, 
 See then my joy by clicking this.

 The situation after a couple of years was totally different.

 A couple of years later, a sort of vague pain was felt from nowhere inside the lower gums.

A visit to denture then also followed by a digital x ray resulted in no big hidden threat except that I forgot to remember what was obvious. I should be cleaning my teeth every hour, or at least after every bite .

 Last couple of days, I had a similar feeling of vague pain.
 I dialled his clinic landline.
Came the reply, like a ball hit on the wall.
"Doctor is on the way. you may come."

I held the cell and rushed to the Saligram clinic at Chakrapany Street, just opposite to Avichi School, Saligram.

As I entered, I could see a Lady Doctor who greeted and welcomed  with a smile.

Welcome, Sir. Please sit here. We will call you soon.

Not many minutes passed, as  Dr.Shankar Guhan M.D.S..appeared before me.

You know when you are in pain, your Doctor is your God.

Doctor smiled at me invitingly.
I found from his body language that he  was richer this time.
Yes. in human relations

 Sooner the customary enquiries were over, he examined my denture. It was something similar to a bamboo  bridge . Have u seen LAKSHMAN JOOLA ? This one contained  many crowns and joints , the so-called bridges.

Is it that a crown is down ?  Flashed those words of Shakespeare:

"My crown is in my heart, not on my head; not decked with diamonds and Indian stones, nor to be seen: my crown is called content, a crown it is that seldom kings enjoy." (King Henry VI' (Act III, Scene I):

Oh ! No. This crown is in my mouth not at my heart.

THESE BRIDGES AND CROWNS OF A DENTURE ARE DIFFERENT. WHAT ARE THEY? YOU MAY SEE THIS, IF U R ADVISED U NEED A DENTURE  To know further, Click this .



 I was lying on the dentist sofa cum bed with a heart rate a little over 160. On the table alongside, there were a few instruments usually used by dentists all over the world.


 Now, my mouth was wide open .  The little instruments ( are they knives or scissors ?)
he put inside my mouth I sent a message in FACE BOOK to  Lord Shanmugha to reveal whether they are sterilized. They must have been. As they are in Dr.Guhan's clinic.

Oh !

It appeared  as if many soldiers with revolvers stretched stepped to marching tune here and there inside my mouth . The sounds echoed the film indeed The Bridge on the River Kwai.  None could have missed that film, I suppose. If you indeed miss it, click here and see, as you read further.

As I continued wandering,  carefully did he pierce inside the archives of those bridges,crowns to cave inside those historic remnants of those original teeth lying and possibly  hiding underneath , by throwing flashes of beaming light.

 I do not find anything, he said.
"You mean "nothing abnormal ?..."" I  intercepted.
yes.he said. I heaved a sigh of relief.

He continued though.

" You need a cleaning now. After a lapse of a fortnight, you will have a full x ray of entire denture."

"  Is that the X Ray where the camera goes inside my mouth ?" I asked him peevishly.

He assured.that there was nothing to be afraid.  You had it already. Is it not ? He waited for a reply.

 I did not want to share my inner feelings of fear at this stage of repeated x rays . I knew that there is no risk of any procedure being done at my age seventy two.

Ironically, and factually too, my bones, my teeth, my brain had better  luck in all these years of my existence of being photographed several times. My face did never have that luck.

 All on a sudden, in  one corner of my right brain came flashing the words of BABA
. WHY FEAR WHEN I AM HERE.

 YES. I mustered enough courage, to ask him.
"Ok. But what shall I do now? "  .

 He called his team mate, the lady doctor.

 Dr.Krishnapriya will clean your teeth now. You may go the adjacent cabin.

Last time, when I had been at this clinic, this dentist doctor was not there.

I sneaked into the other cabin. It was sultry. Not enough cooling. The evening was still reeling around 35 Degrees celsius.

I appeared sweating a little. But sought to reassure myself that definitely this was due to factors of humidity rather than  a symptom of a myocardial infarction.

Bosses are  more comfortable, I thought.

 Dr.Krishnapriya BDS spoke soothingly enough to calm me down.


 Narrated what she was going to do.
 Just a vibrator. No grinding.
Occasionally a few drops of blood may came. But do not worry. It is nothing. she said.

 I knew that she  knew that it was my blood .

 Now, a plastic overcoat on my chest. A cup full of water . The look of it was uninviting, though.

I lied on that sofa cum bed. and
 I relaxed.
This septuagenarian these days needs to be reassured now and then that he was in safe hands.

 Possibly my denture was.

 The procedure halted now and then., only for the Doctor to enquire " Are you comfortable ?"

 After a few minutes, she said, the upper is over.\
 Now, I thought it is the turn of Thirugnana Sambhandar.

 Now the lower part , she continued.
 Repeated gargling. Getting up to spit the gargled water was not so interesting.

She was now putting some brown substance below the teeth (!) and above the gums. Not tasty, but not unbearable.  Is it to whiten my teeth ? I quipped. She said , "No. Just ..." She did not complete. I could infer it could be some sort of an anaesthetic gel or some sort of a bonder as quickfix.

 '"Dr.Why not an equipment to drain gargled water by a reverse force process ? " I thought of enquiring but stopped short of it.

 Actually, most of the day today routine job , for example, taking bath, could well be taken over by some sort of a robot.  For example, one should be going inside some sort of a washing machine and sitting comfortably listening to Britney Spears or SPB , as waters swirl around you and in just three to five minutes, you feel you have a bath.

Possibly, some day, a chinese or a japanese or even a korean company would do that.  The Indian Entrepreneur would immediately copy it and sell it .

"Gargle now enough:, she said. "It is over. "

I did and rubbed my face. I prayed to God . Let the water be pure H2O.

 "It is over. " she said.  Her face revealed her tiredness, no words she spoke though.

 Any pain killer necessary ? Madam ? I asked her. All sorts of paracetamol, diclofen, proxyvon, tramadol, brufen came to my mind as I wanted indeed to say that brufen would not suit me.
But there was no need for that query, as she asserted
"No "

 Can I go and take food at my house straightaway ? 

Yes. she continued, as she prescribed
a paste, a gum tone and a mouth wash.

Thank U Dr...... as I stretched my sentence,
krishnapriya, she said

I always used to feel that these dental surgeons should be having a lot of physical stamina to always having their heads down , their eyes and hands coalescing enough to perform a well thought out surgery, like a root canal or extracting the wisdom tooth.

Long ago, my good friend a general Surgeon  (now in Michigan, USA) used to tell me:
A surgeon should be having fingers as silky as rose petals, and a heart as strong as that of a lion.

Well, I thought it applied to dentists as well.  You need all the strength and stamina to pull a tooth which is infected but equally strong.

Now, it is time for me to leave.
Oh ! I forgot I had to pay.
For no visible reason,
I thought that Doctor is very close to me.  Well . Let me wait.

 Fees ? Dr .I asked her. Give it to the receptionist. She said.

 The receptionist was busy in preparing the next patient.
 Charges for teeth cleaning are ten hundred, she said, continuing,
But for you it is only six hundred.
 Oh ! That is nice.

  In deserts, they say, huge loads are put on the backs of camels, and in order they get up, they say they cajole them by taking away a few bundles from the load. 

 I checked up my purse.

 Luckily, it contained one more.hundred rupee note. enough to get me back home.

After all, money is there only to spend.

   You now see the DENTAL CLEANING procedure here.
