Q1 How many oranges can you eat daily? A1 Lucia Garcia Worked atHospitals Fri Oranges are cold fruits. at the same time, oranges are also known as the "good fruit for curingdiseases", which have the effects of promoting body fluids andquenching thirst, moistening the intestines and laxative, clearing heat and detoxification. If you are hot physique, in order to let the body achieve balance, youcan eat 3 to 4 oranges a day. But for people with cold physique, eat up to two oranges a day. Oranges are rich in vitamin C. A medium-sized orange weighs about 150grams and contains 48 mg of vitamin C. The daily intake of vitamin C for adults is 60 to 90 mg, with an upperlimit of 2,000 mg per day. Two oranges can meet the vitamin C requirement for a day. Taking moredietary vitamin C is also harmless to the body. Although oranges are a bit sweet, oranges are a low-calorie fruit withlow sugar content. A medium-sized orange contains only 70 calories and 15 grams of sugar. Eating oranges will not make youfat. It is worth mentioning that oranges have much higher vitamin C andvitamin P content than most fruits. These two vitamins can increase theelasticity and toughness of capillaries and reduce blood cholesterol levels. Therefore, regular consumptionof oranges is very beneficial for people with high blood pressure, high blood lipids, arteriosclerosis and othercardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.

Q3 Is it wrong in the 21st century to expect my bride tochange her last name to mine after the wedding? A3 Bhuvana Rameshwar marriedfor three decades Sun It is neither wrong nor right.Most girls, women add husband'sname after theirs to avoid confusion in jobs. Their educational certificatesremain the same with their maiden name, sometimes with father's name or familysurname. I changed mine to bhuvana rameshwar from bhuvana krishnan, however my dil maintains thefather's name as her surname but gives our son’s name as husband inall documents and ID cards like passport, aadhar, PAN . In the passport, national IDCard changes have to be made in the husband's name column as a married person. It is a must. Some just add on like Priyankachopra Jonas. This gives them a new identity. Q4 Why do clothes under a fan dry up faster than without afan? A4 Loring Chien, formerPrincipal Engineer at Fortune 1000 Company (2002-2016)Answered Jul 13, 2020 Air can only hold so much moisture, and warm air more than cool air. Ifthe air is still, the air next to the clothes will be saturated with moistureand cannot absorb more moisture. Moving air will circulate air with less moisture and and it will absorbmore moisture. The fan is a perfect way to move large amounts ofair. 2ND ANSWER- SethFlannigan, Merchant (1997-present)Answered May 27, 2018 The flowing air speeds up theevaporation process. It'sactually pushing the water off the clothes and turning it into vapor Try this experiment. Next time you have to line dry clothes, dry them inside and put a fanunderneath wherever you hang them. You'll be amazed at how fast theydry, without damage. Q5 Why is the British monarchy so important, while otherworld monarchies are nearly unknown to the general public? A5 Mats Andersson Visited24 European countries Dec 14 Because you'reEnglish-speaking. Here in Sweden, we know all about our own royals, whether wewant to or not, and the Dutch swear by their own royal family. TheJapanese actually believe their royals are descended from the Sun Goddess,which makes the House of Windsor look like plebeian upstarts. Q6 Which foreign language did you learn in school, and howwell do you still know it today? A6 GopalkrishnaVishwanath Decreasing proficiency order: English/Hindi/Tamil/Kannada/ Gujarati/Malayalam Fri I learnt French in school fromstandard 8 to standard 11 during the years 1962 to 1966.We were not taught tospeak at all. Those days the TV and internet did not exist and so we could not get anyexposure to French spoken by a native speaker. The teacher was a local Maharashtrian who himself did not to how to speakFrench.He taught usbasic French vocabulary, grammar and reading and writing simple sentences. By memorising the text book Imanaged to pass my matriculation exam with 90% marks in French. It was ironical because I got more marks in French than I got for Englishin which I was much better. Ever since I left school I havehad no exposure to this language, no opportunities to use it, and no need forit either in my career. I have now forgotten almost everything that I knew after a long gap of 55years.I now remember onlya few words and popular standard phrases. Q7 If water is H2O and there are planets were they arecovered with ice (water form), doesn't that mean there lies oxygen too? A7 Steve Baker Blogger atLetsRunWithIt.com (2013–present)Dec 21 Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen - so, yes - if there ice or liquidwater - then there are oxygen atoms present - but that’s not necessarily breathable oxygen. Consider Mars, for example. It has a LOT of water - and it’s atmosphereis almost 100% carbon dioxide - which ALSO contains oxygen. But if you tried to breathethe air there - you’d be unconscious in 20 seconds and dead in two minutes- because there is no FREE oxygen…oxygen that’s not chemically bound toanything else. You can extract the oxygen from water (or from CO2 for that matter) - butthe energy costs to do so are considerable. Here on earth, wehave green plants and algae - which are like little solar power stations -converting water and CO2 into oxygen and high-energy sugarusing sunlight to power that chemistry. If we didn’t have those plants and algae - then all of the oxygen in ourair would gradually either be converted to CO2 or would also combine with ironin the soil to form rust - and so forth. Planets that have free oxygenjust floating around and not reacted with something have to have some kind of active process - such as our greenplants - continually renewing it. Q8 What do you do when there is literally no one to talk to? A8 BhuvanaRameshwarmarried for three decades Thu In such a situation I talk tomyself. We are our best friends. We keep the talk to ourselves. We do not spread it to others as gossip. We are our bestadvisors also. I go for my morning walks. Usually the roads are empty with only birdsand some stray dogs. UnknowinglyI have often found myself talking. With whom? To myself.. Sometimes theyare about events that happened, some explanations or sometimes sentences indefence of any future confrontation. It is like a good rehearsal. Our thoughts can be processedbetter when we rewind, talk about it and analyse everything to ourselves, like a retrospection . Such talk is good ashelps to think rationally, speak chosen words to the point and helps us toprepare for a bad situation, in future. We are also our best judges when alone. Q9 What evolutionary purpose do slanted/smaller eyes serve? A9 Claire Jordan Degreein biology and folklore; programmer, shop owner, secretary on newspaper Oct 24 The eyes themselves are notsmaller - it’s just that the opening between the eyelids is narrower when theyare open but at rest. It protects the eyes against windand glare in extreme weather conditions. East Asians developed thisfeature for protection as their ancestors migrated across steppes andsnowfields, before humans had worked out how to make horn or parchment gogglesthat would do the same job. Q10 Which planet is so light that can float on water?Can Saturnreally float on water? A10 Vinod Kumar TeachingS.St, GK, preparing NTSE aspirants (1999–present)Sat Yes, if you could find a bigenough body of water for it to float on. Saturn is very large and is the second largest planet in the SolarSystem. However, it is made up mostly of gas and is less dense than water. Since it is lighter than water, itcan float on water. None of the other planets in our Solar System can dothis because they have a higher density than water. Saturn hasthe lowest density of all the planets, which means that it does not weigh asmuch for its size as the other planets do. Q11 What is the point of an oxygen machine or giving someonepure oxygen? A11 Steve Baker Blogger atLetsRunWithIt.com (2013–present)Dec 22 Air is only 20% oxygen. With healthy lungs andnormal respiration - that’s plenty. But suppose someone’s breathing is shallow - or blood flow is slow - orlungs are congested with fluid? Maybe a piece of a lung - or even an entirelung has been surgically removed due to cancer or something? In all of those cases - you can make the remaining respiratory functionfive times more effective by supplyingthe patient with pure oxygen. Q12 How does metal stick on a magnet?

The north pole of one magnetattracts the south pole but repels the north pole of another magnet unlikepoles attract and like poles repel. A metal is a magnetif it repels a known magnet.
