Farooq rakes up J&K autonomy issue
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah on Sunday raked up the controversial autonomy issue and said the Centre would have to consider it seriously as it provided the key to peace in the state.
Abdullah, who was speaking at a function where his son and Minister of State for External Afffairs Omar Abdullah took over the reins of National Conference, said,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, "We will get autonomy. There will not be peace in the state till you (Centre) do not give autonomy to Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh."
The autonomy issue had led to a lot of acrimony between the Centre and the J&K government after the state assembly passed a resolution demanding it in June 2000.
The Union Cabinet had rejected the proposal on July four, but later agreed to hold discussions on it.
Abdullah also attacked VHP and said the sermons by 'some of these leaders' were unacceptable in the secular ethos of the country.
"If India is to keep Kashmir with itself,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, they (VHP) should keep alive all the religions... on the one hand you demolish Babri Masjid and want to win the trust of Muslims, this will not do," a furious Abdullah said.
Advising these leaders,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, especially VHP's working president Ashok Singhal, to respect all religions,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, he said, "Lord Ram is not confined to one temple. Hindus believe that he is the God of the world. So what are you fighting for?"
Meanwhile, a political resolution adopted at the National Conference meet said the Centre's 'unilateral and arbitrary' rejection of the autonomy resolution passed by Jammu and Kashmir assembly has sent 'negative signals about the legitimacy of our democratic system'.
"This has emboldened the opponents of our political system to give vent to cynical observations and depressing pronouncements," the resolution said.
It pledged that 'no stone would be left unturned' to get the autonomy resolution implemented to satisfy the 'political and democratic aspirations of the people of the state'.
NC had projected the restoration of autonomy as the main plank in its election manifesto in 1996.
"Our party was elected with a two-third majority. It won majority of seats in all the regions of the state which was a clear assertion of the people that they were unanimous in seeking the restoration of autonomy," it said.
The autonomy resolution was passed in the state legislature after extensive discussions and was forwarded to the Centre, which however,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, 'rejected it unilaterally and arbitrarily ignoring the wishes and aspirations of the people', it alleged.

Introduction
The Ornish Diet is a low-fat, high-fiber, vegetarian program developed by Dean Ornish, MD. This diet not only helps one to stay healthy or at least get one on the right track to being healthy, but also helps one lose weight. The diet emphasizes on removing cholesterol and fats from one’s diet, and consuming more of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes.
While the Ornish Diet was originally designed as a lifestyle modification that aimed to reverse existing heart disease, many follow this program for weight loss purposes.
Understanding the Ornish Diet
An average American’s diet is made up of 40% fat, 20% protein and 40% carbohydrates. Ornish recommends one’s diet to be made up of 10% fat, 20% protein and 70% carbohydrates.
Ornish sYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Loginests two varieties to this way of eating in order to address different health concerns—the reversal diet and the prevention diet. The reversal diet is sYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Loginested for people who have been diagnosed with heart disease, and who would like to avoid further complications. The prevention diet, on the other hand, is recommended for individuals without heart disease who have a ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that is less than 3.0, or those with levels of LDL cholesterol that are greater than 150mg/dL. Both varieties of diets are vegetarian.
Ornish Diet Facts
The foundation of the Ornish Diet is based on several principles on the relationship between diet and heart disease:
-  Each gram of fat contains nine calories. Protein and carbohydrates, on the other hand, contain four calories per gram. Essentially, a person can eat more food while on a very low-fat diet, because one will still consume fewer calories per meal.
-  Eating a lot of fat will make a person fat. Eating a lot of fat will also increase a person’s risk of heart disease. Fat that the body ingests can easily be converted to body fat. Complex carbohydrates are a low-fat diet’s staple because these are harder to convert to body fat.
-  The liver converts saturated fat to cholesterol, which raises one’s blood cholesterol level. Saturated fat is found mostly in animal products,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, although high amounts of saturated fat can also be found in nuts, seeds and avocados. Monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat on the other hand, do not raise one’s cholesterol level.
Protein and Fat Myths
Ornish dismisses the myth that a low-protein diet is harmful. There are 22 amino acids that combine to form proteins in the body, nine of which are essential. Plant based foods contain three of the critical amino acids,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, and one can eat a variety of foods to obtain these necessary amino acids. Furthermore, Ornish states that the protein found in plants is identical to protein that can be found in animal products.
Ornish also dispels the myth that an individual has to consume a sizeable amount of fat in order for the body to ingest the correct amount of essential fatty acids. An average person only needs to consume less than 14 grams of fat daily in order to satisfy the daily requirements of essential fatty acids.
The Diet Plan
Ornish sYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Loginests eating many little meals throughout the day instead of eating three big meals. He breaks down foods according to what one should eat all of the time, what one can eat some of the time, what one should never eat.
As mentioned earlier, individuals who wish to follow the Ornish Diet may eat unlimited quantities of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. One can eat these foods when they are hungry until they are full.
The Ornish Diet also allows non-fat dairy products,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, although these should be eaten in moderation. Non-fat dairy products include skimmed milk, egg white, non-fat yoghurt, non-fat cheese and non-fat sour cream.
Examples of food to be avoided at all costs are meat products and dairy products not mentioned above. Individuals must also restrict the consumption of plant foods that are high in fat,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, such as vegetable oils, seeds,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, nuts and avocados. Although caffeinated beverages are prohibited, moderate intake of salt, sugar and alcohol are allowed.
Individuals are expected to engage in regular exercise aside from following the diet plan. Ornish recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate activity a day, or exercise for at least an hour three times a week. Stress-management techniques such as meditation and yoga are also recommended. In order to improve one’s cardiovascular health, smoking cessation is strongly encouraged.
