Begin By Eating Breakfast
You’ve probably noticed that eating a healthy breakfast might help you avoid cravings later in the day and even aid your efforts to lose the weight you’ve been carrying about for a long time. However, because time has become a luxury that few people have during the day, particularly on a hectic weekday morning, starting the day with a healthy breakfast has become a lost nutritional tradition.
We have neglected to pay attention to the most essential meal of the day, and we normally try to squeeze in a cup of milk or, in the best case, a whole bowl of cereals, between battling work problems and preparing ourselves for another rigorous day. People in today’s fast-paced society are being pushed to become superheroes, juggling many occupations and failing to regulate their own daily food intake. If you believe your body is the only instrument you have to continue accomplishing all of the things you desire, it may be time to pay attention to and meet its dietary requirements.
However, it is more persuasive to begin our argument from the beginning. Millions of people who skip breakfast and never explore the effects of their actions sometimes ask why breakfast is still considered the most essential meal of the day, surpassing the nutritious worth of a healthy lunch or even dinner. Millions of others, on the other hand, who do have a healthy breakfast, believe that it is this first meal of the day that holds the key to good health.
As a result, it is critical that you comprehend why eating breakfast is so important for your general health. Your body continues to work and consume resources when you sleep, but at a slower rate than when you are awake because your metabolism lowers to adjust for the lower energy demands. Because your body does not have enough time to return to its usual state after waking up in the morning, you are still experiencing a slowed metabolism, which can be reversed by having a good meal. It is for this reason that the “fasting” process is referred to as “breaking.” As a result, a healthy breakfast will bring a stop to the calorie-saving period and allow your metabolism to return to normal.
This is why, when you eat first thing in the morning, you feel energized and ready to tackle your day’s duties. Furthermore, those of you wanting to lose weight should be aware that skipping breakfast will not save you from the calories you are attempting to avoid. By refusing to start your day with a healthy meal, you prevent your body’s metabolism from returning to normal, and you lose a protein called “leptin,” which has been discovered to keep your body running properly and therefore allow you to lose weight.
Now that you know the principles of metabolism and overnight fasting, you can focus on what your healthy breakfast should consist of. Avoid simple carbohydrates and instead focus on complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Breakfast options include whole wheat bread, cereals, white meats, eggs, low-fat dairy items, vegetables, and fruits. Remember to consume small meals throughout the day, but breakfast should not be left out of your daily diet. You’ll soon be grateful for waking up ten minutes earlier, but you’ll have much more energy at the end of the day, and you’ll feel fitter and healthier all day.

Nepal Airlines to lease or sell its six Chinese aircraft due to poor performance
Due to poor performance and reduced functionality, Nepal’s aircraft purchased from China in 2014 have now become a burden. Nepal Airlines is considering leasing or selling its six grounded Beijing-made planes as a result of this, according to news agency ANI, citing a storey by The HK Post.
According to the research, the sale of these planes benefited only China while trapping Nepal in a vicious debt cycle. Nepal had borrowed much to purchase the Chinese-made aircraft, but it was unable to be used due to high maintenance costs, putting the country in a financial bind.
Nepal is attempting to sell six Chinese planes, two Xian MA60S and four Harbin Y12S. Because they were costing more to run than they were making, Nepal Airlines decided to discontinue flying them in July 2020.
A committee has been formed to assess the lease fee, according to Nepal Airlines managing director Dim Prasad Poudel, and they are expected to provide a report within a week. The report will then be presented to the board for approval. Prospective bidders (both domestic and international) will present their offers when the board has approved them.
“Nepal Airlines will pursue the first of the two alternatives advised by the Finance Ministry—dry lease or outright sale. We’ll put ourselves up for sale if there are no takers. Both solutions appear to be onerous, but we have no other options,” Poudel remarked. According to local daily The Kathmandu Post, which cited Nepal Airlines officials, “dry lease” means the owner will just supply the aircraft to the bidding business, without the pilot or crew.
After Nepal Airlines restated its stance on Chinese-manufactured planes, noting that the planes have suffered huge losses since their purchase in 2014, the decision was made.
These flights were purchased by Nepal in 2014 from China. All of Nepal Airlines’ Chinese planes, including two Xian MA60s and four Harbin Y12s, were grounded in July 2020. Because Nepali airlines could not afford to fly the planes, they were grounded.
Since then, the airline has been struggling to repay a loan with a 1.5 percent annual interest rate, a 0.4 percent service charge, and 0.4 percent administrative expenses deducted by the Nepal Finance Ministry. Because the jets are owned by the Finance Ministry and operated by Nepal Airlines, the ministry charges the airline an annual interest rate of 8% on the disbursed loan.
The Y12 aircraft has long been questioned for its functionality and performance, according to a Nepal Airlines board member, who also stated that the deal with China was the carrier’s “worst mistake.”
The agreement was reached in 2012, and the planes were handed to Nepal in 2014, 2017, and 2018, respectively. Two years later, Nepal received two gifts (one MA60 and one Y12). The arrangement was pushed through despite Nepal’s incapacity to carry out major maintenance work and a dearth of qualified employees and crew/engineers.
These aircraft’s warranty period expired this year, but they remain grounded.
China sold these planes to Nepal nine years ago but did not help the country build the capacity to operate them. Nepal Airlines still lacks the trained crew/engineers as well as the technical support required to do major maintenance on these planes. Replacement components and Life Limited Parts are necessary for at least three years to assure proper operation of these planes, according to the research.
When the sale of the aircraft began in November 2011, technical teams from Bangladesh and Nepal visited China to inspect the MA60s and Y12s. While Bangladesh considered the planes “unsuitable,” Nepal went ahead and inked a contract with China’s Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) to buy six planes. According to the article, Nepal appears to have been forced to buy the plane.
However, AVIC has reportedly served notice on Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) to settle all costs incurred on the procurement of spare parts, training, technical support, and instrument purchase/installation before NAC considers re-operating these planes.
Pakistan’s low-quality Made In China missiles are ‘not working,’ just like the Chinese planes in Nepal.
Chinese is infamous for producing low-quality equipment that requires a lot of upkeep. The low-quality Chinese-made Low-to-Medium Altitude Air Defense System (LOMADS) LY 80 missiles, which Pakistan inducted on March 12, apparently did not work, according to OpIndia in July. Pakistan has placed the LOMADS at nine different places across the country, and a Chinese technical team was dispatched to each of them to repair the systems. Pakistan has inked a contract with China for six additional Air Defense Systems, as it is anxious for them.
