How to drink lassi without bloating

ByJustpaste.in

Lassi is a popular summer drink in Pakistan. It feels refreshing and can help add fluids to the body.  However some people notice that drinking very cold lassi makes them feel bloated gassy, or heavy.

One possible reason is that very cold drinks may temporarily affect the digestive process.  A sudden change in temperature can make the stomach work more slowly which may cause food to move through the digestive system at a slower pace.

Another common reason is lactose a natural sugar found in milk and dairy products. Some people have difficulty digesting lactose.  When they drink lassi, they may develop gas stomach cramps bloating or discomfort.

Lassi itself can be a healthy choice because yogurt contains probiotics which are helpful bacteria that support digestion.  The problem may occur when it is consumed in large amounts, made extremely cold or taken at an uncomfortable time.

Drinking lassi immediately after a heavy meal may also make some people feel too full.  People who regularly experience bloating or gas after consuming dairy products may have difficulty digesting lactose.

If you enjoy lassi but often feel uncomfortable afterward try drinking it at a moderate temperature instead of adding lots of ice. Keep the portion small and avoid adding too much sugar.

You can also add mint or roasted cumin for extra flavor. People with sensitive digestion may prefer thin buttermilk which can be a lighter alternative.

If dairy products regularly cause severe bloating, cramps or other digestive problems it is better to speak with a doctor to find out whether lactose intolerance or another digestive issue could be the reason.

  • Increasing Road Accidents

    Through the pages of your newspaper, I would like to draw attention to the increasing number of road accidents in our area. Road accidents have become a serious problem, causing injuries, deaths and suffering for many families. Overspeeding, careless driving, dangerous overtaking and ignoring traffic rules are some of the major causes of these accidents. Poor road conditions and the lack of proper traffic control make the situation even worse. The authorities should take strict action against those who violate traffic rules. Speed limits should be enforced, roads should be repaired, and traffic awareness campaigns should be organized in schools and communities. Every life is precious. Drivers must understand that a few minutes saved through reckless driving are never worth risking a human life. I hope the concerned authorities will take immediate steps to reduce road accidents and make our roads safer

  • China’s Rising Global Image: Insights from the 2026  Pew Research Survey

    ByJustpaste.in

    By Absara Kashaf  The international political landscape is undergoing a noticeable transformation. For many years, the United States was widely regarded as the world’s most influential political, economic and military power. However, recent global opinion surveys indicate that public perceptions are changing. Countries around the world are increasingly evaluating global powers not only by their military strength but also by their economic cooperation, development assistance, investment and diplomatic engagement. The Latest Pew Research Center Global Attitudes Survey (july 2026) provides important evidence of this shift. Based on interviews with 42,151 adults across 36 countries, the survey reveals that China now enjoys a more favorable public image than the United States in a majority of the countries included in the study. The findings highlights China’s growing international influence, particularly among developing and middle-income nations. One of the survey’s most significant findings is that China is viewed more favorably than the United States in 30 of the 36 countries surveyed. This represents a remarkable change in global public opinion. While the United States continues to enjoy strong support in few countries, particularly among some of its long-standing allies, China has gained considerable public approval across Asia, Latin America, and parts of Europe. This shift suggests that many people now associate China with economic opportunity, infrastructure development, and long-term cooperation rather than viewing it solely as an emerging global competitor. China’s growing popularity is closely linked to its expanding economic partnerships around the world. Over the past two decades, China has invested billions in infrastructure projects, transportation networks, energy development, industrial zones, digital connectivity and trade agreements. Through initiatives such as Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China has financed highways, railways, ports, power plants, and industrial zones in numerous developing countries. These projects have contributes to economic growth, employment opportunities and improved connectivity in many regions. As a result, public opinion in several countries increasingly reflects appreciation for China’s contribution to national development. The survey further shows that 69 percent of respondents in 17 middle-income countries consider China to be somewhat or very reliable international partner. This finding is particularly important because middle-income countries often seek foreign investment, technology and infrastructure financing to support their development goals. Many respondents appear to believe that China provides practical economic cooperation without imposing extensive political conditions. Whether this perception fully reflects reality remains a subject of academic debate, but it undoubtedly contributes to China’s improving international image. Another major finding concerns confidence in Chinese President Xi Jinping. According to the survey, global confidence in Xi Jinping has improved compared to previous years. Across many countries,  larger number of respondents believe that President Xi will make responsible decisions regarding international affairs. Although confidence levels differ from one country to another, the overall trend indicates that China’s leadership is gaining broader international acceptance. Leadership perceptions often influence how countries are viewed internationally, making this finding particularly significant for understanding China’s growing diplomatic influence. Among all the countries surveyed, Pakistan recorded one of the strongest levels of support for China. According to the survey, 90 percent of Pakistanis expressed a favorable opinion of China, while 83 percent reported confidence in President Xi Jinping to do the right things regarding world affairs. These are among the highest approval ratings recorded anywhere in the survey. In contrast, only 15 percent of Pakistanis expressed a favorable opinion of the United States, while confidence in former U.S President Donald Trump stood at just 12 percent. These figures demonstrate the exceptionally positive image that China currently enjoys among the Pakistani public. Several factors help explain Pakistan’s strong support for China. The two countries have maintained close diplomatic and strategic relations for decades, often referring to their friendship as an “all-weather strategic partnership”. In recent years, this relationship has expanded significantly through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), one of the flagship projects under the Belt and Road Initiative. CPEC includes investments in roads, highways, ports, power generations, industrial zones, and communication infrastructure. Many Pakistanis associate these projects with improved economic opportunities, enhanced connectivity, and future development. Consequently, China’s image among Pakistani Public has become increasingly positive Beyond Pakistan, the survey also suggests that China is increasingly perceived as a contributor to global peace and stability. One notable example is South Africa, where the proportion of respondents who believe China contributes positively to global peace increased from 47 percent in 2023 to 64 percent in 2026. Similar improvements were observed in several other developing countries. China’s active participation in diplomatic negotiations, peacemaking missions, humanitarian assistance, and international development initiatives appears to have strengthened its reputation among many respondents. The survey also explores whether people believe China considers the interest of developing countries when making international policy decisions. Among respondents in the 17 middle-income countries, 57 percent stated that China takes the interests of countries like their own into account. This finding reflects an important aspect of China’s international strategy. Many developing countries view China as a partner that understands their development challenges and provides economic cooperation through investment, trade, infrastructure financing, and technology transfer. Whether this perception continues in the future will depend on China’s policies and long-tern outcomes of its international projects Despite China’s growing popularity, the survey also demonstrates the global opinion remains diverse. Several countries continue to express stronger support for the United States than for the China. These include Japan, India, Philippines, Israel, Poland, and South Korea. Historical alliances, security partnerships, regional geopolitical concerns, and territorial disputes continue to influence public opinions across countries. The findings also illustrated the growing importance if soft power illustrates the growing importance of soft power in international relations. Soft power refers to a country’s ability to influence others through attraction, cooperation, culture, diplomacy and economic engagement rather than military force. China’s engagement in infrastructure, trade, education techonolgy in many developing countries have strengthened its soft power in many developing countries. Public opinion surveys such as Pew’s demonstrate that these efforts are increasingly shaping how ordinary citizens perceive China’s global role. The finding offer important insights

  • Favoritism in Schools

    ByJustpaste.in

    Hani Rasheed Through the pages of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw attention to the growing problem of favoritism in schools. Education is meant to provide equal opportunities to every student, but favoritism is destroying the spirit of fairness and merit. In many schools, some students receive special attention and better opportunities because of their personal connections or background. Meanwhile, hardworking and deserving students are often ignored. This creates disappointment among students and damages their confidence. Favoritism also teaches young people a dangerous lesson: that success depends on connections rather than hard work and talent. If this issue is not addressed, it will negatively affect the future of our education system. The authorities must take strict action against favoritism and ensure equal treatment for every student. Teachers and school administrations should promote merit, justice and fairness. I hope your newspaper will highlight this important issue and urge the authorities to take immediate steps to end favoritism in schools

  • Healthy weight may protect male fertility study

    ByJustpaste.in

    Male infertility is becoming a growing health concern around the world and new research suggests that excess body fat may be one of the reasons behind the rising number of cases. A study from Aarhus University found that higher levels of body fat can negatively affect male reproductive health and reduce fertility. The researchers followed 1,058 young men, who were about 18 years and 9 months old when the study began. They measured body fat body weight and muscle mass to understand how body composition affects fertility. According to the researchers a healthy body fat percentage for men is generally between 8% and 19%, while 20% or higher is considered elevated. The study found that men with higher body fat had on average a 23% lower sperm count than those with healthier body fat levels. The researchers also found that excess body fat may disrupt hormones that play an important role in sperm production and overall reproductive health. Hormonal changes caused by obesity can reduce both sperm  quality and fertility. Experts say maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise a balanced diet enough sleep and stress management can support both overall health and reproductive health. Avoiding smoking limiting alcohol and managing long term medical conditions may also help improve fertility. The findings were published in the journal Human Reproduction. The study supports earlier findings from the World Health Organization, which reported in 2023 that about 17.5% of adults worldwide experience infertility at some point in their lives. The WHO also noted that infertility affects people in high middle and low income countries making it a global public health challenge. Researchers say that while infertility can have many causes keeping body fat at a healthy level may be an important step in protecting male fertility and improving reproductive health.

  • When global recognition becomes a local burden

    ByJustpaste.in

    In the Carpathian Mountains of central Slovakia lies Vlkolínec, a preserved settlement. This village is renowned for its pastel-painted timber cottages and traditional 19th-century folk architecture. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1993. Vlkolínec was celebrated not merely as a set of historical buildings, but as a living community. A rare surviving traditional rural life in Central Europe. However, three decades after receiving this prestigious designation, the small mountain is struggling with an existential dilemma. What was meant to be a cultural preservation has transformed into a challenge for the few villagers who still call Vlkolínec home. Now, frustration among permanent residents has reached a boiling point. There are calls to have the village removed from the UNESCO list altogether. When UNESCO designated Vlkolínec as a World Heritage site, one of the criteria was that it remained an inhabited settlement. At the time of inscription, the village was home to around 200 residents. Today, that permanent population has declined to just 14 to 17 people spread across four core families. In contrast to this dwindling resident count, Vlkolínec receives approximately 100,000 tourists every year. For the remaining inhabitants, the ratio of over 7,000 visitors per resident has basically altered the daily life. Locals report feeling as though they live inside a tourist zoo. The boundaries between public spaces and private homes are routinely ignored. Despite signs requesting privacy, visitors frequently wander into private yards, peer through kitchen windows, and treat active properties as open-access museum displays. The loss of privacy is compounded by anti-social tourist behavior. This conduct has been leaving locals feeling alienated in their own hometown. Overtourism is only one side of the coin. Residents also voice deep frustration over the rigid conservation framework that accompanies World Heritage status. Under national protection laws and strict UNESCO guidelines, historic homes face tight restrictions on modern modifications and physical alterations. Elderly villagers point out that these preservation rules have made customary rural activities increasingly difficult. Small-scale farming, livestock keeping, and land cultivation have gradually vanished. Surrounding agricultural terraces have become overgrown. Traditional meadow mowing has largely ceased as older generations pass away and younger generations move away. Furthermore, many of the village’s timber cottages have been bought up by outside buyers to serve as weekend holiday retreats. This phenomenon has increased the loss of a permanent, cohesive community. Some residents argue that revoking UNESCO status would reduce tourist pressure and ease regulatory burdens. However, municipal officials and heritage experts contend that delisting is neither practical nor the right solution. Local administrators in the nearby town of Ružomberok emphasize that UNESCO status brings significant heritage recognition and funding opportunities. Rather than abandoning the title, officials advocate for smarter tourism management. From a procedural standpoint, voluntary delisting at the request of a local community is virtually unprecedented in UNESCO’s history. The organization typically removes properties only when they lose their outstanding universal value due to severe destruction or irreversible development. The debate unfolding in Vlkolínec highlights a broader issue facing protected historic sites around the globe. How to balance global recognition and economic benefits with the rights and wellbeing of local inhabitants! Small historic communities across Europe and beyond battle with overcrowding and demographic decline. Vlkolínec serves as a reminder that preserving physical architecture alone is not enough. Without protecting the living social fabric of a community, world heritage sites risk turning into empty shells of their former selves.
