Aamir Khan turns 51 today. Here's what he eats
According to the superstar, the 3 most important things to lead a healthy lifestyle are a healthy and balanced diet, exercise and rest. The Bollywood superstar claims that a balanced diet is equal portions of fat, carbohydrates and protein.
Eating less is not a healthy balanced diet, claims Aamir because when you starve yourself, your body actually starts to store fat. While shooting for Ghajini Aamir would eat small meals, as frequently as every half hour, to increase his metabolism rate. It was whole eggs for breakfast, green leafy vegetables with meat for lunch, and grilled meat with salad on the side for dinner. In between, he used to munch on nuts and drink protein shakes, and drink at least 3-4 litres of water.
Recently however, the actor has turned vegan, and given up milk and milk products. This change has come in handy though, since his character in Dangal is vegetarian too. The actor is currently following a strict diet plan under the supervision of Dr. Vinod Dhurander. His diet is a balance of carbs and proteins, and includes 9 meals in a day. Aamir believes that walking, jogging, swimming and yoga are all great ways to exercise.
Oklahoma Senate Bill could end the freedom of choice for pregnant women
If this Bill gets passed in the Oklahoma Senate in the US, it would effectively abolish abortion. According to the proposed Bill, anyone who performs and abortion will be deemed a criminal and charged with first degree murder. For the author of the Bill, Josep Silk, "life beings at conception." He said that "those human embryos deserve every bit of protection as a one-year-old child."
However, such Bills to criminalise abortion, fail to take into account the circumstances in which a child is conceived, the ability of the woman to raise a child, the economics of their condition etc.
5,00,000 will die by 2050, as climate change alters diets
Climate change will take 5 lakh lives by 2050, a new study has suggested. These deaths would be caused by the food scarcity, and are additional to deaths caused by other effects of global warming. The study was published in the medical journal The Lancet. Scientists behind the study predicted world temperatures to be two degrees higher than in the 1986-2005 time period. It found that there would be 3.2% lower food availability, and people would be consuming 4% less fruit and vegetables.
Denmark reduces food wastage by 25% and that's a big deal
Food waste is a real problem. In Denmark that means perfectly consumable food is sent to landfills and they make up 1.3 billion metric tons of the annual waste. Majority of this food isn't actually worth throwing away, but a picky food standard level has led to heavy wastage.
The solution? Grocery stores like WeFood sell food waste and at a discounted rate, so people have been lining up to buy. This food waste includes cereal boxes with tears, cans with ripped labels, mis-labeled white rice, or even fruits and vegetables that are misshapen. WeFood went a step ahead to break the stigma that waste food is only bought by poor people- they got a Danish princess at the grand opening of the store, and voila, people haven't stopped shopping there.

Poverty, child marriage, violence decline when women own land: world bank
When women have rights to land, argues Klaus Deininger, a lead economist and organizer of this week's World Bank conference, children's health and education improves, household resources increase and there are fewer child brides as daughters do not need to be married off young for financial reasons.
Equally, women with land rights tend to have savings accounts, a factor that reduces domestic violence. "If women have stronger bargaining power, they actually can resist. Their husbands will think twice before beating them because they can move out and take their money with them," Deininger said.
