Ten Healthy Food Items in the World

Some say that people live to eat, while others say they eat to live. No matter how we put it, food is essential for human survival. We need to eat every day. However, if we consciously choose our food from the very beginning, our lifestyle becomes healthier, and we can stay free from various severe diseases. This is why there is so much discussion and research worldwide about healthy eating.

Today, we will talk about the top 10 healthiest foods in the world. Think about whether these foods are part of your daily diet!

Leafy Greens

Leafy green vegetables should be included in our daily diet because they are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K. We often eat the leaves of green vegetables raw in salads. Not only the leaves but also the buds and stems of some green vegetables are consumed. Some people prefer boiled green vegetables, while others eat them stir-fried. The way green leaves are consumed largely depends on the cuisine of a particular country.

There are nearly a thousand species of green leafy vegetable plants, and they are now commercially cultivated as well. Many people include them in their daily diet. Green leaves are also used in juices, smoothies, and soups. Kidney patients should follow their doctor's instructions when consuming leafy greens.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines, adults should vary their vegetable intake and aim to fill half their plate with fruits and vegetables.

What are your favorite green leafy vegetables?

Egg

Right at the beginning, a fun fact about eggs comes to mind. Many people consider eggs to be a hassle-free food because they are easy to cook—there are no bones to pick out like in fish, and no hard bones like in meat. That’s why almost everyone loves to prepare and eat nutrient-rich eggs.

Eggs contain carbohydrates, protein, fat, and vitamins. While the eggs of all birds are edible, chicken eggs are the most commonly consumed. In addition, duck eggs, quail eggs, and even ostrich eggs are eaten.

One of the most beneficial aspects of eggs is that they are an excellent food for weight loss. Did you know that the eggshell of a domestic chicken has about 7,000 tiny pores to help the embryo breathe? We should eat at least one egg every day. I really love to eat crispy fried eggs with onions, chilies, and salt along with Khichuri.

Nuts

Most of us like to eat nuts. Although there are various types of nuts, the most popular ones include hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios, cashews, pine nuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, and Brazil nuts. While nuts are low in carbohydrates, they are rich in fats, protein, minerals, and vitamins. However, for those who have nut allergies, it is best to avoid them.

Now, let's look at the benefits of nuts. People with heart disease should consume the right amount of nuts daily, as per their doctor’s advice, to maintain a healthy heart. Nuts are also rich in antioxidants.

Despite being a highly nutritious food, nuts are eaten in various ways—some prefer them raw, some soak them in water before eating, others roast them, and many use nuts as an ingredient in cooking. From every perspective, nuts are a beneficial food, and their market is also quite large. In 2024, the global market value of nuts was 61 billion USD.

You should include a specific amount of nuts in your daily diet.

Berry


Among all types of berries, strawberries are the most widely cultivated. Blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries—all berry fruits generally have a sweet or tangy-sweet taste. All types of berries are rich in fiber and vitamin C.

Berries are not only consumed as fruits but are also used in cooking, juices, jams, and dried fruit mixes. They act as powerful antioxidants in our bodies. Berries play a significant role in cancer prevention and lowering blood pressure.

There are many varieties of berries, and their production depends on soil and climate conditions. Which region of the world do you live in? What types of berries are available in your country? Do you know that Mexico is the largest producer of berries in the world?

Yogurt

Yogurt is made through a bacterial fermentation process of milk. Although it can be made from the milk of buffalo, goats, sheep, camels, and horses, it is most commonly made from cow’s milk. For those who have difficulty digesting milk, yogurt serves as a good alternative. In many countries, such as India and Nepal, eating yogurt as part of daily meals is a cultural tradition. Yogurt is also used as an ingredient in cooking.

Yogurt is rich in protein, vitamins, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. While it is a highly nutritious food, sugar-added yogurt can harm diabetic patients. However, yogurt helps improve digestion, aids in weight loss, and boosts the immune system. I know you like eating yogurt, but which yogurt-based dish do you enjoy the most?

Beans


Beans are seeds obtained from leguminous plants. They have been used as food for both humans and animals. In their dried form, beans are soaked in water and then cooked, sometimes with the skin and sometimes without it. Some types of beans should not be eaten raw because they contain a toxin called
phytohemagglutinin, which becomes harmless when cooked. More than 40,000 varieties of beans have been preserved.

Beans are highly nutritious and often considered a meat substitute. They are rich in protein, fiber, iron, various vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that help reduce the risk of various chronic diseases. Beans can be eaten as a meat substitute or paired with meat, used in soups, salads, and even burgers.

To prevent heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and excessive weight gain, the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults consume three cups of beans per week.

I love eating well-boiled beans with a little salt and black pepper powder. Do you include beans in your diet?

Avocados



Avocado is a nutrient-rich fruit with a single seed. It contains various types of fats, making it valuable not only as food but also for producing expensive oil. Avocado oil is widely used in salads, cosmetics, and soap production. However, those who have an allergy to avocados should be cautious.

This highly nutritious fruit contains healthy fats that are beneficial for our health. It improves digestion, helps reduce depression, and prevents bone deterioration. Avocado is good for the eyes and, when consumed regularly, can aid in managing many chronic diseases.

Due to its creamy texture, avocado is also known as "butter fruit." You can eat it sliced, mashed on bread, blended into a smoothie, spread in a sandwich, or sprinkled with a little lemon juice and black pepper powder.

Although Mexico is the largest producer of avocados, it is estimated that the global avocado market, valued at $16.24 billion in 2024, will grow to $17.56 billion in 2025.

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potato is a type of tuber vegetable that comes in red, white, pink, orange, and purple varieties. Not only the sweet potato itself but also its stems and leaves are consumed as leafy greens. It is primarily a tropical vegetable.

I really enjoy eating sweet potatoes boiled in salted water. However, they can also be used in curries, baked, fried, steamed, or mashed into other dishes.

Sweet potatoes are highly nutritious, containing vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. They help improve insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, they are beneficial for eye health, heart disease prevention, and digestion.

Sweet potatoes are such a delicious food that they can be eaten simply by boiling. They have a mildly sweet taste and keep you full for a long time. Many people choose sweet potatoes as a substitute for carbohydrates in their diet.

Garlic

When we hear about garlic, the first question that comes to mind is how it fits into a healthy diet since it is a spice. Being a spice, garlic is mostly used as an ingredient in various dishes. It has a strong taste, a warm nature, and a pungent aroma. Both its leaves and bulbs are used in cooking.

Garlic is considered a healthy food because of its natural medicinal properties. For example, it is very effective in treating colds. It also acts as a natural antibiotic against bacterial infections. Garlic helps lower cholesterol, benefits heart health, and reduces liver damage. Besides these, it has many other medicinal properties.

Honestly, I love garlic pickles. I use garlic in almost all fish and meat dishes. Additionally, I add it to some vegetable preparations, noodles, pasta, and many other foods. China is the largest producer of garlic.

How do you usually consume garlic in your country?

Fish

Although fish is a highly nutritious and healthy food, many people do not like to eat it. They often blame its strong fishy smell as the reason. However, fish provides high-quality protein, minerals, and essential vitamins. While there are around 32,000 species of fish in the world, humans consume only a small number of them. Some fish are toxic and are prohibited for human consumption.

Fish can be found in both freshwater and seawater. Both types are beneficial to our health. Small fish are particularly good for eye health. Additionally, the omega-3 fatty acids in fish help lower high blood pressure, reduce the risk of strokes, support brain and nervous system development in unborn babies, alleviate depression, and lower the risks of dementia and diabetes.

Fish farming and production have created significant employment opportunities, playing a crucial role in people’s lives worldwide. In 2024, China led the world by producing 67.8 million tons of fish, followed by Indonesia, India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh.

To survive, we need food. Similarly, to stay healthy, we must consume nutritious foods. The 10 foods discussed here are highly nutritious and help strengthen our body's immune system against various diseases. Therefore, we should include an adequate amount of such healthy foods in our daily diet chart.

Developing a Daily Writing Habit: My Journey Towards Consistency

 

Today was a hectic day, which is why I couldn't write a blog post earlier. However, I’m making sure not to skip a day, so here I am, writing this post now. Despite my busy schedule, I truly missed writing, and I realize how important it is to stay consistent—no matter what.

The Key to Success: Daily Effort

The secret to success is simple: work at it every single day. Even if you can’t accomplish much, consistency builds a habit, and that habit eventually leads to success. There are no shortcuts. The people who stay dedicated and work hard every day are the ones who achieve their goals.

This is exactly why I want to maintain my regular writing routine. Over the past few days, I’ve been practicing extensively, refining my skills. At the same time, I’ve been making a conscious effort to overcome my Facebook addiction, and I can proudly say I’m succeeding. For the last three days, I’ve focused more on writing than on mindless scrolling, which feels like a major achievement.

From Writing Practice to Publishing Content

Although I haven’t published much lately, I’ve been practicing consistently. Some of my recent writing wasn’t blog-worthy, but that’s okay. What matters is that I’m getting closer to becoming a writer. I’m also excited about exploring scriptwriting for YouTube videos. The platform is fascinating, with millions of videos uploaded daily, and I’d love to contribute to it.

Until recently, I wasn’t particularly interested in writing for videos. However, my perspective has changed. In addition to YouTube, I’m also considering launching a podcast. I’ve always loved audio content, especially radio, and this could be an exciting new direction for me.

One thing I’ve realized is that writing a blog post doesn’t take much time if I stay focused. I need to remind myself of this simple fact and continue motivating myself to write every day.

A Major Breakthrough: Writing Feels Natural Now

The most exciting change I’ve noticed is that writing now comes effortlessly. Words flow from my mind onto the page, and it surprises me because, for months, I struggled to write even 100 words a day. Now, I can do it easily, and that’s a huge milestone for me.

What’s Next?

For the next 10 days, I’ll be at home with plenty of free time. This means I can fully focus on writing, both day and night. I’ve thought about writing short stories, essays, or articles—anything that helps me stay in the habit. The quality of my writing will improve naturally over time as long as I stay committed.

Before I can fully embrace writing, I need to eliminate distractions like social media addiction. Instead, I want to develop a "writing addiction"—the kind that makes me eager to put my thoughts into words effortlessly. When writing becomes second nature, I’ll know I’ve truly succeeded.

Looking Ahead with Confidence

I’m feeling optimistic about the coming days. If I can maintain this momentum, I’ll build a strong habit that will shape me into a serious writer. Even if I’ve been repeating this goal for the past few days, that’s okay—practice makes perfect, and repetition strengthens commitment.

Thank you for reading! I hope that starting tomorrow, I’ll take another big step toward becoming the writer I aspire to be.

Trust the Process

 For the last few days, I have been writing in this blog and I try to write one post every day. I have become habituated in doing this task. I am very happy that at last I am getting back my habit of writing regularly.

Very few people actually read the post. Maybe, every day, only four or five persons read which is perhaps very frustrating. But I am fine with it.

I am fine because I have neglected this blog and now I am paying the price for it. I am suffering the consequence of my neglect. Now, to be honest, my biggest challenge is not whether people are going to come and read the post but whether I can sustain my effort of working every day.

This is the biggest challenge because if I can write every day, then sooner or later some people are going to come and read. I also know that my writing is not bad and that is why some people will love it because in the past this happened. But then, I became sick and I lost my track and there were too many problems in my life.

Now, I am totally trying to focus on writing again and I have started the process.

Why writing every day is crucial?

I have realized that when I can do something every day then success is going to come sooner rather than later. I have experienced it in Facebook a lot in the last 10 years. I noticed that whatever I started doing within 100 days some good result came and within one year, it became a strength or in other words I became very successful in whatever work I tried.

Now, this is the only lesson that I have to remind myself every day. That is why writing every day is so important because if I can write every day then success is guaranteed. I have experienced it for many years in my own life, in many works and projects.

So, I should not be worried about success but I should be worried about not trying enough or not writing every day. My experience so far? My experience so far is not very encouraging because as I stated people are not reading my posts. However, I have to remember that I am not a celebrity and people will not read my post naturally.

More than that I should be concerned only about one thing that is to practice every day and to ensure that quality improves. Then, again quality is related to practicing. The more I practice the better it will become.

It is true for any kind of work. I must not worry about anything but try to enjoy the process. The process is very simple. I must practice every day, I must write every day and I must think about it every day. This is a very simple process. The more I can focus the better result it will bring.

I just need to focus and tell myself every day that I have to focus on my work and I have only one work now to practice writing. The more I can practice the better I will become. Yes, often what happens is that I repeat the sentences but that is totally all right.

I must tell myself that I just need to keep on trying and after a few days improvement will be visible. Another area that I need to start focusing is making plan. I'm very weak in it and I lost track because I lost track in the past because I never had any plan or I planned for too many things at the same time.

What I need to do is that I must just make a plan and focus only on one thing and then stick to the plan. That is called trust the process and I have to trust the process because I know that it will bring very good result soon. I wish that I planned for only doing one thing every day and become better at it.

At one stage, in my field, I would become one of the best persons in my country, maybe in the world and it is possible. It happened to me in Facebook because I could become highly skilled in using Facebook for helping other people. Now I have to think of helping myself and improving my quality, improving my skill and do the work.

Today I have noticed that my focusing ability or focusing power has started to increase. When I'm writing now I'm more focused on the topic that I'm writing and I'm not thinking of anything else. This is a great improvement but reality is that I can do it only for a few minutes like maximum 10 minutes.

I have to increase it to one hour. If I can focus on something for one hour and totally focus on it and write about it- then, I'm confident that it will bring very good result. In other words, the quality will start to improve a lot.

 Finally, I'm doing it as a part of the process or as a part of my daily practice. I'm very happy that I'm doing it because the the worst is over as I have started the step to writing every day. I am now really writing every day.

 It doesn't matter whether the quality is good or bad. It really doesn't matter whether only 10 persons are reading it or 10,000 people. What matters is that I'm trying my best and I have started it.

So my quality will improve and success will come hopefully. I'm very happy for it.

Top Ten Drinks in the World

We drink water to keep us alive. We cannot live without drinking any water or any liquid material for more than 3-4 days. Yes, water is basic for us but then we have many drinks that we enjoy and some of them are very healthy for human beings. In this post, I have made a list and described the Top Ten Drinks in the world.

 Tea



Tea, though initially known as an herbal plant, eventually became a part of aristocratic beverage culture. However, it has now transformed into a daily drink for the general public. Tea mainly comes from the plant species Camellia sinensis, whose leaves are processed in various ways or sometimes directly brewed in boiling water before consumption. Although tea originated in China, it gradually spread across the world and is now considered a cash crop in many countries.

All the types of tea we consume are mainly classified into six categories. These classifications are based primarily on the processing methods of the tea. The six types are: white tea, yellow tea, green tea, oolong tea, black tea, and pu-erh tea.

White tea is the least processed tea. Yellow tea is processed by wrapping it in paper and steaming it for an extended period. Green tea leaves are either steamed or pan-fried after drying to retain the tea's fresh flavor and green color. Oolong tea is processed in a way that it lies between green tea and black tea, resulting in a variety of flavors. Black tea is the most widely consumed tea, often enjoyed with milk, sugar, and other ingredients. Black tea leaves are dried, rolled, and heat-treated, then categorized into different grades.

Pu-erh tea, although initially processed like green tea, goes through a fermentation process. The older the pu-erh tea, the richer its taste and the higher its demand.

Though there are mainly six types of tea, the preparation and consumption vary depending on the dietary habits of different countries—sometimes served cold, sometimes hot. Due to the caffeine content in tea, drinking tea has become a habitual practice for many.

Coffee




After water and tea, coffee is the most consumed beverage in the world. It is mostly consumed as a hot drink but cold coffee also has a significant demand. Although the first evidence of coffee was found in Yemen, Brazil holds the top position in coffee production, followed by Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia.

There are two main species of coffee plants: Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora (commonly known as Robusta). One of the most expensive coffees in the world is Kopi Luwak, which is made from coffee beans that have been eaten and excreted by a small mammal called the palm civet. In Thailand, another highly expensive coffee, Black Ivory Coffee  is produced by feeding coffee beans to black elephants and collecting the beans from their waste. This coffee holds the title of the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for $2,000 per kilogram.

Coffee beans are roasted and processed before being brewed. It is commonly served in various styles, including black coffee, espresso, cappuccino, and café latte. Ingredients such as sugar, milk, cream, and other preferred additives are often used to enhance its taste. Additionally, coffee presentation has become an art form, with baristas creating intricate designs on the surface of the beverage.

 Lassi



Lassi is a cold beverage. Although it originated in Punjab, lassi is a very popular drink in the Indian subcontinent. While yogurt and water are the main ingredients of lassi, several variations exist, such as salty lassi, sweet lassi, spiced lassi, bhang lassi, and fruit lassi. By blending yogurt with water and adding ingredients like sugar, salt, cardamom, rose water, saffron, ginger, nuts, cumin, or black pepper, different flavors of lassi can be prepared.

Bhang lassi is usually made in India during the Holi festival. It is prepared by mixing bhang (a liquid cannabis-based ingredient) with yogurt and water. Generally, only licensed shops are permitted to sell bhang lassi during Holi.

Fruit lassi, made with fruits like mango, watermelon, and strawberry mixed with yogurt, is a delicious beverage loved by people of all ages. In Bangladesh, the Beauty Lassi of Old Dhaka is so famous that it has been in business for almost a century. The crushed ice in Old Dhaka's Beauty Lassi provides a refreshing and cooling sensation for everyone.

A significant market has grown around lassi in the Indian subcontinent. Since it provides relief from the heat and is quite affordable, lassi is sold in large quantities during summer. With just a few ingredients, easy preparation, and a delightful taste, the demand for lassi continues to increase day by day.

 Hot Chocolate


Hot chocolate is a soothing and comforting beverage, especially in cold countries. It is believed that chocolate has been in use since before 500 BCE in the Mayan civilization. At one time, hot chocolate was considered a drink only for the elite and for the lower class, consuming it was seen as a bad omen. However, times have changed. Originating in Mexico, hot chocolate has now become a delicious warm beverage enjoyed in various countries, including the United States and European nations.

Hot chocolate is a delightful drink made from melted chocolate, cocoa powder, milk or water, and sugar. It is not only tasty but also beneficial for health. In some countries, hot chocolate is made thick and rich, while in others, it is prepared as a thinner beverage. It is often served with whipped cream or marshmallows for added flavor.

The main ingredient of hot chocolate comes from the cocoa tree, whose flowers, leaves, bark, and fruits all have medicinal properties and are used in medicine production. The global market for hot chocolate is vast. It is estimated that the market size of hot chocolate, valued at $21.35 billion in 2025, will grow to $30.21 billion by 2034.

 Fruit Juice


Although we consume fruit juice as a beverage, doctors now suggest including it in our daily diet. Juice generally refers to the direct extraction of liquid from fruits and vegetables. For example—mango juice, pineapple juice, pomegranate juice, orange juice, etc. The health benefits of fresh juice depend on factors such as age, gender, and overall health conditions. In New Zealand and Cambodia, fruit juice is consumed the most. Now, its consumption has also increased in Europe, Australia, and the United States.

In addition to fresh fruits and their peels, sugar, flavors, and other ingredients are often added to enhance the taste of fruit juice. It is said that for diabetic patients, fruit juice without added sugar or other ingredients is more beneficial. However, excessive fruit juice consumption can be harmful to children's teeth. That’s why doctors encourage eating whole fruits rather than consuming juice.

Fruit juice is a delightful beverage. Due to its fresh taste and various benefits, its demand is continuously rising. As a result, the commercial opportunities surrounding fruit juice are also expanding. In 2023, the global fruit juice market was valued at $147.36 billion and it is expected to reach $215.86 billion by 2032. Increased awareness, easy access to nutritious beverages, and a variety of flavors contribute to the growing interest in fruit juice.

Coconut Water


Coconut water is the clear liquid inside young green coconuts (dab). It is a popular beverage in tropical regions, especially during summer. On hot days, fresh green coconuts are cut open and sold directly to customers on the streets. Additionally, coconut water is now marketed in canned, glass bottled, plastic bottled, and tetra pack forms.

It is rare for someone to visit a seaside beach and not drink coconut water. There is also a logical reason behind this—coconut trees grow abundantly in coastal areas, yielding a high number of fruits. It is also known that coconut water from these regions has a distinct taste.

The highest number of coconut trees and coconut production can be found in Indonesia, India, and the Philippines. Every 100 milliliters of coconut water contains 19 kilocalories of energy. Indonesia is recognized as the world's largest producer of coconut water.

It is estimated that the global coconut water market will reach $3.15 billion by 2025 and is expected to grow to $5.25 billion by 2030. Coconut water is a refreshing drink that helps keep the body highly hydrated and provides relaxation to both the body and mind.

Smoothies


A smoothie is a fresh beverage made by pureeing fruits and vegetables. Many people confuse Lassi with smoothies, but Lassi originated many years ago, dating back to around 1000 BCE. In contrast, smoothies were first created in the 1930s after the invention of the blender.

The base of a smoothie is fruit and vegetable puree, whereas the base of a lassi is yogurt. In short, a smoothie is made by blending fruit and vegetable puree with milk, protein powder, water, and other preferred ingredients to enhance flavor, along with crushed ice. A smoothie is a nutritious drink and its nutritional value depends on the proportion of fruits and vegetables used. Since fruits are naturally sweet, adding extra sugar can turn the smoothie into a high-calorie beverage.

There are three main types of smoothies, like as Green Smoothie  Contains a higher proportion of raw leafy greens and fewer fruits. Additional ingredients are added to enhance the taste. Protein Smoothie is made with fruit and vegetables combined with protein powder, milk, and other flavor-enhancing ingredients. People who want to increase their protein intake usually drink protein smoothies and Yogurt Smoothie uses yogurt as the primary source of protein.

Banana and strawberry smoothies are the most popular with the highest sales in the United States. In recent years, the smoothie market has seen significant growth. The global smoothie market is expected to grow from $18.44 billion in 2024 to $19.91 billion in 2025. By 2029, the global market is projected to reach $27.46 billion.

Smoothie King was the first company to enter the smoothie market, but many other companies have successfully established themselves since then. As a nutritious drink, the demand for smoothies is expected to keep rising and many people also prefer making them at home.

Lemonade



Lemonade or lemon juice is a beverage generally made with lemon and sugar. Although evidence suggests that lemonade was first popularized in ancient Egypt, it is now widely available all over the world. However, commercially marketed lemonade is often carbonated and enriched with citric acid.

Various types of lemonade are prepared worldwide to bring diversity in taste, such as cloudy lemonade, pink lemonade, brown lemonade, and clear lemonade. Additionally, in India and Pakistan, it is known as Nimbu pani, while in Bangladesh, it is called Lebur Shorbot. Other variations include Shikanji, Limonana, Cherbat, Cwitsha, and Citron press which are prepared under different names in various countries.

The primary reason for the popularity of vitamin C-rich lemonade is the refreshing sensation it provides. This makes it a widely consumed beverage despite its simplicity. Another factor is the high production rate of lemons, making them readily available. The global lemonade market valued at $9.7 billion in 2024, is expected to grow to $16.7 billion by 2034.

Soft drinks



Soft drinks refer to all types of non-alcoholic beverages, but here, only carbonated drinks are being discussed. Utilizing the concept of carbonated water discovered by Joseph Priestley in 1767, Schweppes became the first company to sell bottled soft drinks in 1783. Following this, various brands emerged in the market, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite, Fanta, 7Up, and RC Cola.

Soft drinks are packaged in glass bottles, cans, and plastic bottles. Carbonated beverages are essentially drinks in which carbon dioxide dissolves into the liquid, creating a fizzy effect. In this state, carbon dioxide appears as bubbles.

Although soft drinks contain a high amount of sugar and are not very healthy, they remain highly popular, making the industry a massive market. It is estimated that the soft drinks market will reach $706.6 billion by 2025 and may grow to $901.7 billion by 2030. However, with increasing health awareness among consumers, carbonated beverage companies are focusing on reducing excessive sugar use and incorporating more natural ingredients.

Milk


Milk is a liquid beverage produced by the mammary glands of mammals. While milk is primarily a food for infants, it is considered a balanced diet for people of all ages. While other foods or beverages contain one or more nutrients, milk contains all the essential nutrients in the right proportion. However, many individuals have difficulty digesting lactose in milk. Fortunately, there are now solutions available for them.

Milk from cows, goats, buffaloes, sheep, and horses is commonly consumed as a beverage. Doctors generally advise against giving anything other than breast milk to infants under six months of age. For adults who experience digestive issues after consuming milk, various processed forms of milk are available in the market. These include UHT milk, powdered milk, buttermilk, condensed milk, flavored milk, evaporated milk, and dairy milk alternatives. Lactose-free milk is also available.

India is the world's largest producer of milk. However, the dairy market is widespread across the globe. While a significant portion of milk comes from India, global milk production is expected to reach 271.71 billion kilograms by 2030.

Final Words: Thanks a lot for reading about Top Ten Drinks in the World. What is your favorite drink?

Why working every day is not bad?


I am a hardworking person. From my childhood I love to do something that I really enjoy and this is my habit. I know that most people are not like me and they probably will get annoyed if they have to work every day.

 However, I enjoy my work and I enjoy a lot when my dream comes true. Why do I love to work hard? I love to work every day and I love to work regularly because it can make my dream come true. This is the main reason that I love to work regularly.

 Hard work is good but excessive hard work is bad for your health and mind. This is the common wisdom and most people would agree with you. However, I think that hard work has some good sides and I am going to write about it in this book. The persons who feel that excessive work can destroy your life are right. They are not wrong.

 But if you plan to work every day then you can have some flexibility. Yes, doing physical work every day is not good for your health because you really need some rest at least once a week. That is why in our modern age we work five days a week and then we get holidays for the next two days.

 This is common in most of the countries where the working days in a week are just five days- not seven days or even six days. So, if it comes to mental work like writing or design or anything that you can do with your table and perhaps with your desktop or laptop computer that is really fine. And if you can just do your work every day, then you may even enjoy it.

 So, why do I want to work for seven days a week or every day? The main reason is that I want to work every day because it makes me happy. Really? Yes, it really makes me happy. And I feel that it makes me happy because in my life, I always try to work and try for some dreams coming true.

 So, if I work seven days and then I may move forward or move ahead of others or even I move ahead of my dream, I have achieved many things that I could never imagine that would be possible. It brings success. Yes, if you are a hardworking person or if you love to work every day then success becomes a natural part of your life.

 I have experienced it for many years that if I can really work every day then I will be able to get success. For example, I have said that in blogging if you can write every day then you will have more visitors. In Facebook, the same thing can be said about running a Facebook group.

 If you give time for your group, then you will see success in everywhere. There will be more posts from others, more members will join and people will start loving your Facebook group. I have noticed it a lot many times in the last 10 years.

 Most people feel that working hard is boring and you must have fun and enjoyment in life. This is true and I cannot deny it. But I am kind of a person who can find enjoyment and happiness in their work.

And that is why if I miss doing work for one day then I miss the happiness in my life. So you can see that I am opposite kind of a person than most people. If you have a dream, then you realize it very soon that you have to work hard to make it come true.

 I really feel this way and if I can work every day then my dream becomes true sooner or later. But most people do not feel this way and that is why they get heartbroken and then they blame others for their failures in life. What about burnout? Yes, burnout is real.

 I have experienced it too. I tried so much and even I sacrificed my sleep and then I got burnout so easily and lost my ability to work every day. For many months I could not write simply 100 words per day.

But after many months of rest now, I feel that I can easily write 1000 words a day and if I can continue doing it every day then sooner or later my quality will improve and I will become successful in writing and blogging. So you should not try too much if you feel that you may experience burnout. And burnout happens both mentally, physically and even creatively.

Why struggling in blogging is good?

 

This is a new blog and I have been active here for the last 10 days. The famous search engine Google has not indexed my blog or the posts yet. So, there is hardly any visitor until now despite the fact that I have been writing a long post almost every day. Right now, I am not thinking about any revenue or money from the blog but I surely like to have some people reading my posts every day.

I’m struggling a lot but I do not feel disappointed because I know that if I want success in blogging then I have to try my best for at least one year. Very few people become successful in blogging and I have seen with my own eyes how challenging blogging can become if you are a new blogger.

Why do I think that struggling in blogging is good? It is good because of several reasons and I am going to explain here. I know that many of you will not agree with me but that is alright. You have your own opinion and your own experience and I do not want to argue with you. I’m just trying to share my own opinion from my own experience.

You see, when you start blogging then hardly anyone knows about your blog and yourself. For example, I am not a celebrity. So, it is natural that hardly anyone will come to my blog and even if they come here, they will visit for the 2nd time. It is not that my content is bad or there is nothing to learn here or read here but people do not know about me. At first, they are not familiar with my writing style. So, they simply do not care about me and I have to accept this Reality.

This reality is applicable for almost all the ordinary people like me. However, I know that most of the new bloggers will get frustrated and stop trying altogether. So, while there are nearly 100 million blogs, only a few thousand bloggers are ready to struggle all the way. Yes, it is a very challenging profession full of ups and downs but at the same time if you are ready to struggle then there is every possibility that you will become successful.

I know that if I really can dedicate myself for the challenge then there is success waiting for me in near future. Of course, most of us have their own definition of success. For example, many people only think of earning a lot of money when it comes to blogging success. Some people want to become famous and some are looking for using blogging as a tool for opening opportunities.

If you are a food blogger, then surely you can dream about landing a cookbook deal. If you keep on writing, then the archive of your blog becomes stronger. For example, right now in this blog, I have only 10 posts. When I have one hundred posts then people can find more information and they can spend their time more here. The main challenge is to keep on writing without getting any kind of success or benefit. This is why most people simply fail to keep on trying because there are too much concerned on getting instant feedback and success.

If you can keep on writing, then you cannot imagine how many opportunities can come to your way. You will meet new people in your field. At one stage, you will become a famous person in the topic that you are writing.

I started blogging in 2006 and I really regret for not continuing. Now, I have started again in 2025 and I want to try my best this time. I know that the only challenge is to keep on trying every day. This is the only secret for success in blogging. I don’t want to motivate you or convince you because it is my own journey. I just want to keep on trying from scratch.

I’m trying to motivate myself about becoming a successful blogger or a writer. I enjoy writing more than anything else and I know that success will come if I can just focus on it with all my heart. It has happened many times in the past and it will happen again. This is my firm conviction and I want to go all the way.

I have started to enjoy the struggle and that is really a very good sign. It will encourage me a lot and help me to stay motivated for a long time. I have to dip dive in my imaginary world of writing because most part of writing is a part of a creative process.

As I have already stated, I don’t want to convince or motivate you about keeping on trying. If you want to try, then it’s up to you and if you want to stop- there is nothing I can do. The only thing that I can do is keep on trying and struggle as long as needed.

I have to remind myself that there was a time when at least 100,000 people used to read my blog articles every month. I have experienced even more readers in my Facebook groups. So, it is not that I always struggled and never witnessed any kind of success with writing. It is rather the opposite.

Yes, I love to have many readers or visitors but more than that I want to continue my struggle with this blog. I am happy now to be able to write in this blog. Struggling is not bad if you can enjoy it. Life can become much better after a certain period of suffering- if you can keep on trying and working hard.

I know that my only challenge is to keep on trying every day with a smile. I am happy because I have again been able to write a long post. May be, after one year, thousands of people will read it and get inspired. As for now, hardly anyone will read it.

Why Food Blogging is so Popular?


While many people tend to think that Blogging is dead in 2025, food blogs are becoming popular and actually making a good amount of money. It seems that more and more people are reading food related text content, watching food related videos. This trend is here to stay. In this post, I am trying to take a look at the growing popularity of food blogging.

What is a food blog?

In simple words, a food blog is a blog that mainly covers the topic of food. It can simply talk about recipes that are very popular. Some blogs can simply talk about food instead of focusing too much on recipes, some blogs may focus on just reviews of restaurants or food shops. Some blogs focus on kitchen equipment.

Here, I just like to point out that in this post, I did not make any distinction between a food blogger and a food vlogger.

Show me the Money

I was shocked that on average food bloggers earn the most amount of money in blogging. They are the highest earners. I thought that finance bloggers or gadget bloggers were earning most but I was wrong. There are tons of money but you must not only be hard working but also have some entrepreneurial skills and mindset.

You have to remember that money does not come in one simple way. You can display ads in your blog, sell courses, sell products, or even land a cook book deal etc.

Some Stats about Food Blogging

I found some interesting information in this blog post: 15 Food Blog Statistics and Data

In 2021, 4 out of 5 adults in Generation Z said that they enjoyed watching or interacting with food content across different social media platforms. As for food blogging, this niche was the most popular and most profitable niche last year with the highest median income of $9169 of all major blogging niches. The food blog niche also had the highest percentage of blogs with over 50,000 monthly sessions (42.8%.)

Most people start a food blog out of personal interest. They love to earn money but this is not the primary reason they come here.

Some blogs

I could not find any specific figure about the number of food blogs online but the number can be more than 1 million. I found a report in the Daily Mail about an Australian food blogger earning $1 Million annually.

Here are two links for you to read:

The 50 Best Food Blogs of 2024

There are many food blogs online and the good thing about it is that information provided in the posts does not become stale. For example, recipe posts are evergreen and ever-fresh. For example, this recipe from 2006 is still interesting to me. This is one big advantage of a food blog and if you are a food blogger don’t just delete or discontinue your blog even if you become too busy.

YouTube

Many Food related video channels have become very popular on YouTube. Some Food bloggers or content creators travel to different parts of a country or different countries of the world and showcase the popular regional food items.

The growing popularity of YouTube has contributed immensely to making food blogging more successful. Video is insanely expensive for an ordinary blogger or vlogger but YouTube lets you host your video absolutely free of cost. Even you can earn money from your viewers. So, it is a win-win for food bloggers and YouTube.

Facebook and TikTok

Facebook is another place where food blogging is becoming very popular. You can simply open a page about Food for free of cost and then post texts, videos, and photos. After all, there are 3 billion monthly users in Facebook. So, if you are serious then you will soon get some followers in Facebook.

TikTok videos about food are also gaining popularity. If your video goes viral on TikTok there is every chance it will some doors for you in the form of sales, sponsorship, etc.

For the young generation, TikTok is sometimes more popular than Google according to this report:

TikTok’s somewhat mysterious algorithm is weirdly good at recommending content that users want to see, and now members of Gen Z have turned to the app as their search engine of choice.

Google is taking note of the trend. At a conference last year, Google senior vice president Prabhakar Raghavan said that “In our studies, something like almost 40 percent of young people, when they’re looking for a place for lunch, they don’t go to Google Maps or Search.”

Why Food Blogging is not easy?

Becoming successful in Food blogging is not easy because it is a time-consuming work. You see, when it comes to food blogging, as a blogger, you are expected not to just write about the recipes but actually cook the food. It does not end there. You are also expected to take some splashy photos and if possible take videos too. Compared to any other type of blogging, this really is time-consuming.

Relying solely on Google is not a smart idea because these days, Google changes its algorithms too often and that may cause massive traffic loss for your blog suddenly. Yes, it happens a lot.

The Future Prospect

The future looks to be even better. With more and more people becoming busy cooking regularly, they are turning to food blogs for ideas and even time passing. Food is something we always enjoy and the more money we have, we love to spend on food items be it cheap street food or exotic food items in fancy restaurants.

 

Final Words

Food blogging is going to be more popular in the coming years. It has a huge amount of readers or followers online. However, remember that most bloggers do not earn money because earning money is like running a business.
