How many calories should I eat to lose weight?

The Calorie calculator allows you to calculate how many calories you should eat a day in order to lose a certain amount of weight by a certain date.

For example: If you are 86kg (189.6Ibs) start of November and would like to be 78kg (172Ibs) by Christmas, you would specify that you want to lose 8 kilograms (17.6Ibs) in 2 months. This is how it differs to other calorie calculators which only allow you to calculate the amount of calories daily for a specific weight.

The calorie calculator is very useful for weight management as it displays how many calories are needed over the specified period of time. It keeps track of your weight loss and calories required. The less you weigh, the fewer calories you will need to take in for weight loss to continue.

NB: Any (-ve) negative values are shown in red, ie trying to lose 50 pounds in 1 week is not possible. Values in yellow indicates a very low calorie intake. As a rule of thumb you should not eat below 1200 calories for female and 1600 calories for male.

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is the most widely grown type of millet. It has been grown in Africa and the Indian subcontinent since prehistoric times. The center of diversity, and suggested area of domestication, for the crop is in the Sahel zone ofWest Africa. Recent archaeobotanical research has confirmed the presence of domesticated pearl millet on the Sahel zone of northern Mali between 2500 and 2000 BC.^[1] Cultivation subsequently spread and moved overseas to India. The earliest archaeological records in India date to around 2000 BC,^[2] and it spread rapidly through India reaching South India by 1500 BC, based on evidence from the site ofHallur. Cultivation also spread throughout eastern and southern Africa. Records exist for cultivation of pearl millet in the United States in the 1850s, and the crop was introduced into Brazil in the 1960s.

Pearl millet is well adapted to growing areas characterized by drought, low soil fertility, and high temperature. It performs well in soils with high salinity or low pH. Because of its tolerance to difficult growing conditions, it can be grown in areas where other cereal crops, such as maize or wheat, would not survive.

Today pearl millet is grown on over 260,000 km² worldwide. It accounts for approximately 50% of the total world production of millets.^[3]

THE EFFECT OF TURMERIC ON BLOOD PRESSURE

Blood pressure is the force that the flowing blood exerts on the walls of the blood vessels. An increase in blood pressure can increase the risk of coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke and kidney failure. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States have high blood pressure, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Along with a healthy diet and exercise, your doctor may also prescribe medications to regulate your blood pressure. Certain herbs and supplements may also help manage blood pressure.
