Every man daydreams. One may look at it as more of a birthright. It's also one of nature's wonderful ways of diffusing the mental stress and fatigue, built up in the human brain, by life's daily worries and problems. For limited spans ,daydreaming is harmless , but there are chances of it becoming addictive ,when resorted to , for prolonged periods. There is an unwritten law, that the time , spent in daydreaming, by an individual, is directly proportional , to the degree of stress, being then undergone , by his brain. If left unchecked, it acquires the form of pseudo-reality, pushing out one's normal thought processes. A person, who to seek relief from his mental pain, starts living in a world of his own make- belief, is medically termed, as a schizophrenic, by our psychiatrists. Mine, simply put , was such a case.I don't claim to be a rare victim of mental suffering .There are millons of others , who have undergone , or are

undergoing , far greater mental anguish, than I ever did . As the Christians say, every man , has his own cross, to carry . I may just put it, my misery was unduly prolonged, and I was comparatively more vulnerable to mental pressure. There was not just one factor that helped me overcome this debilitating thought process. I'll share my redeeming features with the readers , in due course, as we carry on , with this (schizophrenic) love affair. My road to recovery was facilitated by two factors. One , my own efforts to regain my original level of normalcy, and secondly, the efforts of my family and friends, to help me, achieve my goal. I'll recount, the contribution , made in this respect , by my near and dear ones, first. As I have mentioned earlier, schizophrenia is a silent entrant. It's quite similar in some ways , to the physical disease, multiple sclerosis(ms) . Multiple sclerosis also has a silent onset , and to start with, causes paralysis , in patches , in the victim's organs . One may have multiple sclerosis and still , carry on, being physically active , for long periods . However , slowly , the paralysis , spreads to ultimately cover the whole body (except the brain), leading to total bodily collapse .Schizophrenia , fortunately (of my type at least), with drugs and affectionate care ,is reversible , and leaves large areas of the brain totally untouched.

bitter in taste and devoid of nutrients. In contrast, mature nuts contain less water and their endosperm thickens quickly to whit edible meat (kernel). Coconut milk obtained from the meat should not be confused with coconut water.

Metabolic syndrome refers to a collection of issues including obesity,increased blood glucose levels, elevated fasting triglycerides and low cholesterol levels, and hypertension. It leads to an increase in the risk of developing of cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, and cancer. It can therefore occur as a pre-diseased state. The development of metabolic syndrome is primarily caused by a sedentary(dull) lifestyle and overnutrition. Daily exercise habit and physical fitness level are associated with a reduction in risk of metabolic syndrome, independently of body fat level and promote healthy aging.
