Do You Skip Meals? Here's Why You Should Stop — Image Source: Lashkar

In addition to the fact that we are frequently too busy during the holidays to sit down for a meal, some individuals have the misconception that by skipping breakfast and lunch, they will be able to overindulge at holiday feasts without going over their daily calorie allowance. But skipping meals is unhealthy and might result in weight gain.

What results from skipping meals?

According to Piedmont clinical dietician Haley Robinson, the first sign of low blood sugar is a lapse in mental clarity. When there is not enough glucose for the brain to consume, your body cannot function at its full potential. The brain requires glucose to run efficiently. People who have low blood sugar tend to feel agitated, dazed, and worn out. Our bodies start producing more cortisol, which makes us anxious and hungrier. Additionally, skipping meals can slow down your metabolism, which can lead to weight gain or make it more difficult to reduce weight.

Your body shifts into survival mode when you skip a meal or go for an extended period of time without eating, according to Robinson. “This makes your body and cells seek food, which makes you eat a lot,” the author writes. All attempts to eat healthily generally fail since we have a tendency to seek harmful foods. Anything is OK when you are that hungry.

Advice on how to stop missing meals

The Christmas season may be busy, let’s face it. If you’re very busy, consider using these strategies:
Instead of missing meals, eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day
Always keep a snack on hand to tide you over until your next meal, such as yoghurt or a granola bar.
Consume fiber- and protein-rich snacks. They’ll keep you satiated for longer.
Meals should be planned in advance or made the night before.
Establish a weekly timetable to prevent overcommitting or falling behind.
If you plan on being active all day, set an alarm to sound at noon.
Plan a lunch meeting. You cannot forego a meal if you have commitments to friends or family.

If you’re not going to starve to death, you’re going to eat better. You could discover that you start to feel hungry at strange times of the day if you miss meals. This may result in unhealthy eating patterns when you consume a lot of food quickly to satiate your desire. Blood sugar levels may spike as a result, preparing you for another substantial unhealthy meal later on in the day.

Don’t skip meals if you’re worried about eating too much. Include healthful snacks all day long. Smaller, healthier meals will be simpler to consume as a result, which is much better than skipping meals.

10 Reasons You Are Not Getting Your Dream Job

By

Neeshay Imran

Dec 4, 2022

As much as everybody in Pakistan wants to blame the system for everything, when it comes to jobs there are plenty of reasons why you might be facing troubles in landing yourself your dream job.

Fear not, this world is nothing if not a bundle of opportunities, work upon the below-mentioned mistakes that one usually makes while writing a resume and see the tides turn in your favor.

Improper English

Yes, resumes and interviews are both considered exceptional if delivered in English, but improper English beats the point. If you are not fluent in English, it is advised that you have your resume checked by someone with trustworthy English skills before you hand it in.

Irrelevant Data

If you are applying for an accountant’s position, it makes no sense to emphasize greatly on your past experience as a teacher. You don’t send in a monkey to do a man’s job, having said that, mentioning all experiences is important, but emphasizing greatly on irrelevant experiences is a waste of everyone’s time.

Writing Long Essays

Contrary to what you might believe, even though the company might have a vacancy they certainly don’t have time to read foot long essays on how remarkable you are at things. Keep the data relevant and concise, such that it makes the desired impression.

Achievements Deserve the Spotlight

Achievements (read as, not school projects) which include successful execution of projects at previous workplaces or extracurricular must be given a front row seat. They exhibit your nonstudious more practical side, a side that any employer wishes to make maximum use of.

Missing Contact Details

One of the things that employers detest fiercely is inaccessibility of employees, therefore omitting your contact details on a resume means you are definitely off to a bad start.

Improper Space Utilization

Some people write too much while others don’t write enough. Your resume must be balanced beautifully. The white spaces should be few and in between, but that does not mean that there should be none to talk of.

Your resume is your first impression, do not let it be something that you will regret for years to come.

Make sure the page is effectively utilized.

Untidy Presentation

The font size is another important matter to put great focus on. Most documents are preferred if they are written with a 12 point font in either Times New Roman or Calibri. Going for smaller font sizes will only make life difficult for the poor man who will read it.

Along with the font size, headings need to be emphasized upon also. Bold them and make them larger than the normal text, this will help to section content automatically and leave a very neat impression of the overall resume.

Objectifying Your Experience and Interests

While an objective statement might seem like an excellent way to introduce yourself, it can leave a very negative impression. Don’t restrict yourself to a single corner, let your resume do the talking.

Not Keeping it to One Page

Long resumes are tedious to go through and extremely short resumes of half page or such are just hilarious to look at, keep your resumes to a single page or else they just might end up in the dustbin.

Use Focused Data

Very few people understand the importance of this, talent acquisition personnel are trained to look for specific traits in a resume, having unfocused data mentioned on resumes is the root cause for most rejections.

Your resume must clearly outline your capabilities and achievements, things that can help employers judge your worth.

5 Pakistani Brands That Took Inclusivity & Diversity Seriously

By

Dec 3, 2022

Inclusivity and diversity have been the topic of debate for quite some time now. While it’s easier to discuss the narrative, implementation of the idea is not always welcomed. Building a culture of inclusiveness is critical to brand growth. Unfortunately, our approach to inclusivity has a substandard standpoint. However, it is extremely essential to maintain an overall conclusive environment where people no matter how they look or feel are welcomed.

The global scale of how inclusivity and diversity are being approached with a more open perspective is better than ever. The statistics in Pakistan show that almost 31 million people in Pakistan are living with some form of disability. Fortunately, a few brands in Pakistan, including those under P&G are also doing their part in introducing those to society who add the same values as everyone else. On International Day of Disabled Persons, we thought of mentioning some Pakistani brands that have introduced inclusivity and diversity on a major scale.

1. foodpanda

foodpanda broke all barriers to inclusivity when the company hired an amputee for its riding service. The rider takes pride in making an earning for himself proving that disability can and should never let you stop from doing whatever you plan to achieve. This move of foodpanda was welcomed by netizens and consumers all over Pakistan.

2. Ariel

Ariel has stepped aside from the norm as the company took measures to hire people with some form of limitation. One of the brand ambassadors from Ariel can comply with all of her job responsibilities without speaking a word. Similarly, a warehouse manager who can’t see poses a strong envision among the workers. These employees are given fair opportunities as they are trained by the company according to the requirements of their job.

3. Safeguard

Another company by P&G which has embraced inclusivity and diversity is Safeguard. The brand has embarked on a journey while hiring people who can communicate unconventionally. Nonetheless, helping consumers without letting their disabilities come in the way.

4. Depilex Salon

Depilex has been an advocate for burn victims for the longest time. The company now gives those victims a hand by hiring them so that they can contribute and give back to society without letting themselves be a victim.

5. KFC

KFC Pakistan has also taken on the initiative to welcome diversity by hiring differently-abled employees at the company. Adeel Rana is among those who have been working with the brand while being given creative opportunities to look forward to more in life.

Spotify Wrapped 2022 Is Here: Atif Aslam And Talha Anjum Ranked Most-Streamed Pakistani Artists Of The Year

By

-

Dec 1, 2022

Karachi, December 01, 2022 –This year’s Wrapped is both a celebration of a year gone by and an invitation to join in on the fun. Spotify is unveiling its 2022 Wrapped campaign and personalized user experience inspired by just that. At the same time, the world’s most popular audio platform is also unveiling the top artists, songs, and playlists that made up the vibrant kaleidoscope of listeners in Pakistan.

The artists who stole the hearts of Pakistan

Year 2022 has turned out to be the year of Atif Aslam as the most-streamed Pakistani artist who has continued to dominate his fans’ hearts, followed by Talha Anjum who has made it to the top of the lists and remains listeners’ favorite. The local artist list also included Talha Yunus, Young Stunners, and Asim Azhar along with the legendary singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Joining the Top 10 for the first time are Abdul Hannan, Hasan Raheem and Ali Sethi.

Meanwhile, sitting at the helm for most-streamed artists in Pakistan is AP Dhillon this year, followed by Arijit Singh who remains widely popular in the country. Other prominent names among top most-streamed artists include Pritam, Gurinder Gill, Sidhu Moose Wala, The Weeknd and Tanishk Bagchi.

An addition that comes as no surprise to the list, given a dedicated fanbase and the growing love for K-Pop in the country, is BTS. The boy-band that has carved a strong presence for itself amongst the local listeners also made it to the list of most-streamed artists in Pakistan this year.

The Pasoori craze continues

People still can not get enough of Ali Sethi and Shae Gill’s “Pasoori” with the hit becoming the most-streamed song in Pakistan. Earlier this year, “Pasoori” became the first ever Pakistani song that hit the top 3 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 list, proving its global appeal.

Shae Gill, who is the most-streamed local woman artist and undeniably one of the prominent breakout stars of Pakistan this year, is also being featured as Spotify’s program EQUAL Pakistan’s Ambassador for the month of December.

Other most-streamed songs in Pakistan included “Excuses” by AP Dhillon and Gurinder Gill, and “Bikhra” and “Iraaday” by Fresh Finds Pakistan artist, Abdul Hannan, and Rovalio, taking second, third and fourth spots respectively on the list. “No Love” by Shubh came in fifth.

The rise of the next generation of artists

The year 2022 belonged to some rising stars that not only took over the local music scene but the world by storm. Abdul Hannan, who has been consistently topping the local charts, is a true example of Pakistan’s indie music scene’s tremendous success. His journey on Spotify began with the Fresh Finds Pakistan playlist last year in November.

Islamabad: 1^st December 2022 – Two significant Islamic nations, Pakistan and Turkey, have traditionally had cordial ties with one another. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs – Government of Pakistan recently held a colorful ceremony to commemorate the 75th anniversary of these diplomatic ties, highlighting the social unity and cultural diversity that these two countries share.

During this ceremony held in Islamabad, the diplomatic officials and prominent personalities of Türkiye and Pakistan expressed their commitment to further strengthen their progressive cooperation for mutual wellbeing. Since Pakistan was established as an independent state in 1947, its modern diplomatic relations with Turkiye were established on 30th November 1947. Prior to that, both the native populations were already unified, as they shared many religious, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and linguistic commonalities for centuries.

On this occasion, the Chief Executive Officer of Dawlance | a subsidiary of Arçelik A.Ş., Turkey, Mr. Umar Ahsan Khan said: “The historic friendship between the two states has positively evolved over the past 75 years. Our progressive cooperation is delivering great benefits in all socio-economic fields. We believe in the tremendous potential for industrial and technological collaborations between Pakistan and Turkiye. Arçelik A.Ş. is the 2nd largest manufacturer in Europe, head-quartered in Turkiye, which has wholly acquired Dawlance – Pakistan’s leading producer and innovator of technological products. Since 2016, this robust venture has already made large-scale investments, of over 120 million US Dollars in Pakistan, to ensure sustainable growth and prosperity.”

Over the last 6 years, Dawlance-Arcelik has been striving to make Pakistan a regional hub for exports of consumer-durable products. It has invested heavily in ‘transfer of technology’ projects to pursue the “Make in Pakistan” policy adopted by the Pakistan Government. On this occasion of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations, Dawlance-Arcelik also shared a memento with the diplomatic officials, to affirm its commitment to nurturing relations between the two states.

This year’s theme of World AIDS Day is “Equalize”, this slogan is a call to action to increase the availability, quality of services for HIV treatment, testing, and prevention. Equalize calls for communities to make use of and adapt the message to highlight the particular inequalities they face and to press for the actions needed to address them.

During the event, World AIDS Day Report 2022 was launched by Mr. Abdul Qadir Patel, Honorable Federal Minister, and said that “Government of Pakistan, at both the national and provincial levels, despite competing priorities and fiscal limitations, and with the support of partners like UNAIDS, UNDP, WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, and other stakeholders has strived to provide HIV prevention and treatment services through high impact community-based HIV prevention programme. We are going to revise national and provincial AIDS Strategies, setting the plan of action in the light of global guidance”
“There is a need to initiate a national prevention revolution, that includes all available options to stop the transmission of HIV including protection commodities, immediate initiation of antiretroviral therapy and pre-exposure prophylaxis. Specific populations and locations require additional tools such as harm reduction (needle–syringe and opioid substitution therapy programmes) for people who inject drugs.” says Mr. Mirza Nasir-ud-Din Mashhood Ahmad, Special Secretary Health, Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination.
Mr. Mustafa Jamal Kazi, Federal Joint Secretary & National Coordination for Coordination Management Unit, AIDS, TB, and Malaria, while presenting the HIV response in the country highlighted “that Government of Pakistan has allocated PKR 2,000 million to tackle AIDS, TB, and Malaria and this shows the commitment to prevent lives from HIV infections, while significantly strengthening health systems to deliver people-centered services to those most in need.

This year, the Government of Pakistan reaffirms it support to overcome challenges pertaining to strengthening of HIV response, but also on the road ahead to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal target of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Ms. Yuki Takemoto, UNAIDS Country Director took an opportunity to thank Federal Minister, Federal Secretary and Joint Secretary stating that “The Global AIDS Strategy, 2021–2026 provides a clear, evidence-informed blueprint for getting the AIDS response on the track. No miraculous silver bullet is needed, using the tools already at its disposal, the Government of Pakistan, together with communities and partners simply needs to translate its commitments into concrete results for people. And this can only happen when people living with HIV and key populations are provided with a platform to amplify their voices. UNAIDS supports the Government of Pakistan to translate its political commitment in strengthening HIV response in the country.

Ms. Aliona Niculita, Deputy Resident Representative UNDP Pakistan, emphasized the agency’s commitment to addressing economic, social, cultural, and legal inequalities to contribute towards ending the AIDS epidemic by collaboratively working towards build resilient health systems to enable equitable and efficient access to services embedded with utmost dignity and respect for communities.
H.E. Ambassador Henrik Persson, Swedish Ambassador to Pakistan extended his full support. He said as an ambassador I want to reiterate that the time to act is now, let’s spell a new beginning to reflect on our gains and failures of yesterday to seize the countless possibilities of tomorrow for making Pakistan HIV-free.

While addressing to the audience Dr. Luay Shabaneh, UNFPA Representative quoted that HIV/AIDS has to be integrated in high-quality sexual and reproductive health at all levels of healthcare facilities to eliminate stigma and make timely interventions.

Mr. Asghar Satti, Representative of People Living with HIV (APLHIV) said that with the support and wholehearted efforts of educating and informing the citizens against the myriad dangers posed by the HIV/AIDS rooted in ignorance we will meet success.

The Government takes the opportunity to thank all the partners and stakeholders for their continuous support to strengthen the HIV response in the country and calls upon them to play their roles. He also appreciated the support of the Islamabad Traffic Police and the Boys Scout Association for their support. Mr. Mustafa Jamal Kazi Joint Secretary/National Coordinator, MNHSR&C/CMU for AIDS, TB, and Malaria, said in his closing Remarks.

In the end exhibition of artifacts and handicrafts were displayed by people living with HIV, jail inmates and marginalized women and girls. Economic empowerment initiatives have become an increasingly popular approach for the prevention and mitigation of HIV.
