BALANCE SHEET FOR YOUR BODY

What is your "total daily energy expenditure" (TDEE)? How to balance it? Let us learn
First, we must calculate RMR- Rest metabolic rate. It is the daily energy your body would burn in an awake, non-fasting, at rest rate.

For men,
RMR = 4.5W+15.9h - 5a+5
for women
RMR = 4.5w + 15.9h -5a-161
w-weight, h-height, a - age.

Now, you know your RMR. Next you must find your activity factor. The following table helps.

Level of activity activity factor
No physical activity 1.2
Light-intensity exercise
1-3 days /week 1.4
Moderate intensity
exercise 3-5 days/week 1.5
Moderate - vigorous exercise
6-7days/week 1.7
vigorous daily training 1.9

Now, we are ready to calculate TDEE
TDEE=RMR*Activity factor+0.1C

C is the calorie intake for the day. C is included because even to digest food energy is required.
The equation gives idea of your daily maintenance calories- the level needed to keep your current weight. Eating fewer calories than our TDEE will create a caloric deficit and should lead to weight loss and that eating more calories than our TDEE will create a caloric surplus and should lead to weight gain. So, find out your goal and stick to it.

Why protein is better than sugar?
While digesting the food, the body has to unpack the food; distribute it to right places; and dispose the waste.  Hence the body requires energy to digest, absorb and dispose the food we eat.
If you take 100 calories of protein, 20-30% calories will be used to digest it and your body will only get a yield of 65%-80% of calories from protein. But in the case of carbs, sugar, and fat, only 5% to 15% of calories is used for digestion and our body gets the remaining 85%-95% of calories.  Hence, the protein takes more calories for digestion and it get digested slowly.  There will be no spike in sugar readings.  So, the protein rich foods are preferable for diabetics.
Balance the food and enhance the life.

LISSAJOUS FIGURES

Definition: "When a particle is subjected to two sine wave motion or two oscillatory motion at right angles, the particle describes lissajous figures". We know sine wave motion and circular motion is basically same. Hence we draw two circles A and B perpendicular to each other. The circle B rotates twice faster than circle A. That is, frequency of circle B is two times than that of A. A particle at the intersection of two circles is subjected to two sine wave motion A and B at 90 degree simultaneously. The particle will describe figures depending on the frequency and phase of A and B . In our case, the ratio of frequency is 1:2 and the two waves are in phase. To draw lissajous figures : A moving point in both the circles are chosen. Here we should remember; during the time taken by the circle A to complete one rotation, circle B completes two. Hence the points are marked on the circles according to their speed. Then straight lines

THE PARABOLA

A jet of water shooting from a hose pipe will follow a parabolic path. What is the so special about parabola. Y= x^2 Draw a graph for the above equation. It will result in a parabola. This parabola is also called unit parabola. Any equation involving square will yield a parabola. Example: Y = 2x^2 +3x+3 (also called quadratic equation) X= 2 and -2, both satisfies the equation 4 = X^2. Parabolic equations always have two solutions. Any motion taking place freely under gravity follows parabolic path. Examples: An object dropped from a moving train, A bomb dropped from flying plane, A ball kicked upwards. If a beam of light rays fall on the parabolic shaped mirror, they will be reflected and brought to focus on a point. This fact is made use of in Dish Antenna, Telescope mirrors, etc. Inverted parabola shape is used in the construction of buildings and bridges. Because the shape is able to bear more weight. A plane

CASINO'S GAME

Let us find out how the casino survives with mathematics. Say, your friend invite you for a game of dice. You must bet (wager) 2 dollars. If you roll 'six' you will get back 8 dollars. The game will go on for 30 rounds. All sounds good. The probability of rolling 'six' is 1/6. Since the game will be played for 30 times, the 'expected win' is 30*1/6 = 5. That is, you are expected to win 5 rounds out of 30. Hence your gain will be 5 * 8 =40 dollars. ok. This also implies that you will loose 25 rounds. Hence your loss will be 25*2 =50 dollars. Your net gain will be gain-less = 40-50 = -10 dollars. For 30 rounds, the loss is -10 dollars, Hence, for one round =-10/30 = -1/3 dollars. There will be a loss of -1/3 or 0.33 dollars per round. It is not a fair game. Let us make a simple formula to calculate 'Pay out per round\. The probability for a win = p The pay-out in case of win = V No. of rounds = n The expect
