Vitamin C tablets in Sri Lanka are a popular search item online during these Covid infected times. Although not scientifically linked to preventing Covid in particular, its immunity-boosting characteristics are well known. This together with Zinc acts as a double formula to build immunity by boosting the antibodies.

What is Vitamin C?

We all know it is an essential nutrient that plays several roles in our bodies. Of course, as written in medical journals it is a potent antioxidant.  Moreover, this means it can neutralize unstable compounds in your body called free radicals. Also, it can help prevent or reverse cellular damage caused by these compounds. Additionally, the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin C is 90 mg per day. Correspondingly, it’s pretty easy to meet your vitamin C needs through your diet as long as you eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. For example, a single medium orange provides 77% of the DV. In like manner, practically we don’t have the time to eat oranges daily in Sri Lanka. Also, Oranges are expensive in Sri Lanka as they are imported.

How does it affect immunity?

In medical parlance, it is written that Vitamin C affects your immune health in several ways.

• Its antioxidant activity can decrease inflammation, which may help improve your immune function.

• It also keeps your skin healthy by boosting collagen production. This help the skin serves as a functional barrier to keep harmful compounds from entering your body.

• It promotes wound healing

• In addition, Vitamin C promotes the growth and spread of lymphocytes. This is a type of immune cell that increases your circulating antibodies, proteins that can attack foreign or harmful substances in your blood. I am no expert on this but this is what I have read and come to understand.

Vitamin C and COVID-19

Presently, there is a lot going for Vitamin C in the marketplace. People have got used to ordering online loads of such tablets. This may be due to a point of thought that it helps in curbing the Covid virus.  

• In an article published in the Chinese Journal of Infection Diseases, the Shanghai Medical Association endorsed the use of high dose vitamin C. Here it is said that it was used as a treatment for hospitalized people with COVID-19. Additionally, if you want to read more about you can Google this.

• Also, the said journal states that doses that are magnitudes higher than the DV are recommended to be given through IV to improve lung function. Likewise, this may help keep a patient off of mechanical ventilation or life support. Notably, Chinese researchers have also registered a clinical trial to further study the effectiveness of IV vitamin C in hospitalized people with COVID-19.

However, it’s important to note that vitamin C is not yet a standard part of the treatment plan for COVID-19 because the evidence is still lacking.

Choosing a Vitamin C supplement

If you do choose to take it as a supplement, it’s important to choose one that’s high quality. Also, you must take the correct dose.

• While supplements are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they aren’t held to the same safety standards as pharmaceuticals. Thus, it’s important to purchase supplements from reputable companies.

• Additionally, the Upper Limit (UL) for supplemental vitamin C — the amount most people can consume daily without negative effects — is 2,000 mg

• Most vitamin C supplements provide a daily dose of anywhere from 250–1,000 mg. By all means, it can be easy to exceed the UL if you’re not careful. In particular, be sure to read the packaging and take only the recommended dose to avoid complications.

If you have any concerns about taking such supplements, you should consult your healthcare provider before adding them to your routine.

What do I take for daily immune care?

Well! if you want a medication that is simple to take, we suggest Vitamin C tablets. For one thing, you can easily order the tables from Kapruka. Here, what you get is a brand called Cimune orange flavoured tablets that are chewable. In particular, Cimune tablets are manufactured in India by Zydus Healthcare Limited. Notably, Zedus Healthcare (www.zyduscadila.com) is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in India with a global reach. Following are some of the benefits of taking Vitamin C tablets.

• Helps to protect from Infections including Viral Infections

• Acts as a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body’s natural defences

• Helps to provide the right nutrition balance for the entire body

• High intake has been shown to have a protective effect on thinking and memory as you age

• Basically, anyone can take it as taken in moderation it is not harmful to the body.

The bottom line is Vitamin C is an important nutrient that keeps your immune system functioning properly. To get plenty of immune-strengthening vitamin C in your diet, make sure you’re eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. However, the shortcut to this is to chew a few tablets daily.

Gas Cooker  – Cooking Tips

For those who have recently purchased gas cookers in Sri Lanka, here are few gas cooking tips. Cooking with a gas cooker is pretty straightforward, but there are a few things you should know.

Simmering May Take Some Practice

The one thing that many people have trouble with when it comes to using a gas cooker is how to simmer. It takes some practice. You will find that when you turn the flame down low, your pan will continue to receive heat. You then try to turn the flame lower and it goes out. You re-light and try again.

Eventually, with practice, you will find the perfect setting for the simmer function. You will also learn that if a recipe tells you to cook on high, you may want to leave your gas stove on medium. Yes, it heats that well.

Learn What Gas Smells Like and Know How to Turn the Gas Off.

As for safety, it is very important to know what gas smells like. While leaks are very rare, they are possible. You need to be able to recognize it. In addition, knowing how to turn off the gas is crucial.

Be Mindful of the Flame

Remember that you are cooking with an open flame. Of course, you need to remain mindful of this. However, with a gas cooker, the flame is the heat. So, if something comes in contact with it, a fire can start very quickly. Be sure to watch out for things such as kitchen towels, oven mitts, long hair, loose clothing, etc. And, get in the habit of turning a burner off the moment you remove a pan from it.

Keep It Clean

No matter how hard you try, cooking can get messy. Food splatters, drips, spills, and so forth. The leftover debris from your cooking may actually catch fire the next time you go to light your gas burner. So make a point to clean after each use.

Opt for High-Quality Gas Cookers in Sri Lanka

Easy Ways to Save Cooking Gas in Kitchen

• 

• 

1. Check for Leaks

Check your pipes, burners, and regulators for any leaks. Small leaks can often go unnoticed and later add up to your financial expenses. This is one of the best ways to conserve LPG gas at home.

2. Wipe Your Plates and Pans Dry

Want to learn what’s another simple technique about how to save LPG cooking gas without putting in a lot of effort?

Don’t use your LPG cylinder for drying your utensils when they have water droplets on them. Use a kitchen towel to wipe them dry. It’s really that easy.

3. Don’t Overcook

Overcooking is one of the biggest reasons why LPG gets wasted in every household. Next time you cook, keep an eye out for the cooking time and check to see if all the ingredients require cooking. Use a microwave for heating, if need be, instead of your LPG cylinder. Add salads and fruits to your meals since these don’t require cooking. Plus, you’ll be eating a lot healthier that way and your body will thank you for it.

4. Use a Pan for Covering What You Cook

You can cook your dishes faster and use less gas at the same time by covering the pans with a lid. Covering with a lid will make sure the flames reach their sides, thus cooking more efficiently. Also, it traps the steam and speeds up cooking.

6. Use Low Heat

Cooking on high heat is known to kill the beneficial enzymes, nutrients, and vitamins in your food. Cook on low flame next time and let your pan simmer once it’s heated up. Try steaming your veggies when you can and not boil if you’re serious about getting out maximum nutrition from your meals.

7. Measure What You Cook

A lot of people don’t bother measuring the ingredients before cooking. They end up using too much water or too few ingredients which makes them waste gas. Don’t be one of them and measure carefully the proportions based on the recipes before you get cooking.

8. Use a Pressure Cooker

Pressurized steam ends up cooking food faster and in a lesser amount of time. Instead of cooking openly, use a pressure cooker to speed things up. When you do finish cooking, store any leftovers in insulated containers to keep them fresh for longer and to prevent reheating often.

9. Clean Your Burners

If the flame coming out from your burner looks orange, yellow, or not so uniform, then there’s probably some carbon deposit on it. Take a look and clean it up. It’ll help you save more fuel that way.

11. Use The Right Cookware

There’s no point in using larger cookware or big pot and pans for cooking small-sized meal portions. Make sure to match the size of your recipes or servings with your cookware because larger cookware takes up more LPG to get heated up.

Where can you buy gas cookers in Sri Lanka?

Gas cookers can be easily purchased online from Kapruka. Since Kapruka delivers to your preferred address in Sri Lanka, it is that much easier. You can also buy gas cookers from the many home appliance stores scattered around Sri Lanka. However, make sure to buy from a reliable supplier.

In conclusion, the benefits of using a gas cooker are numerous. Apart from the apparent low operating costs you can be assured that even during a power breakdown you can make a meal, thanks to a gas cooker.

To enumerate, at that time Colombo was starving for a good Indian Restaurant serving authentic North Indian cuisine. To begin with, in the year 2003 without much foresight Viraj and Dilip, while they were on their trip to meet their family met Sukhvinder Singh in Mumbai. In a moment, low and behold, they decided to launch a restaurant in Colombo. The very next day all of them headed on a flight to Colombo. In due time, The Mango Tree restaurant was created.

What’s the difference between North Indian and South Indian food?

In Northern India, the cuisine tends to be less spicy, using mild to moderate spices such as masala. In contrast, Southern India, on the other hand, tends toward much spicier food, as many tropical cultures do. Besides, rich aromatic gravies, spicy vegetable stir-fries, moist and tender slow-cooked meat gives North Indian cuisine a unique flavour. After all, the availability of a plethora of vegetables, fruits, grains and spices makes the cuisine vibrant and colourful.

What Makes North Indian Cuisine Popular?

A simple North Indian vegetarian meal consists of moong dal, vegetable dish and roti. On the other hand, a non-vegetarian dish, like chicken, heavily seasoned with spices, onion, ginger and garlic are always on demand.

On the other hand, stuffed parathas, saag (a leaf vegetable dish) and cornmeal or maize flour roti, chole bhature (Chole stands for a spiced tangy chickpea curry and Bhatura is a soft and fluffy fried leavened bread), meatballs, rogan josh (curried meat dish), tandoori chicken, biriyani and pulao rice are very popular among many North Indians food lovers.

Additionally, vegetable oils like sunflower oil and mustard oil are used to make these dishes. Equally important, Ghee is normally used on special occasion while cooking. Above all, the reason for the evolution of North Indian cuisine is because at the end of the day North Indian food fans want something traditional and spicy in their food.

The popularity of tandoor

Notably, tandoor, which a few years back was known to the Muslims and Punjabi community, is today the preferred cuisine among hoards of Indian food lovers.  In fact, keeping with the tradition, many North Indian restaurants serve Mughlai food and kebabs to their customers, introduced the tandoori trail and trend of Mughlai food among Indians.
