', 'content' => '<p>May 27: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued a warning of health hazards on consumption of trans fats and on May 14 called all countries to make the world free of trans fats by 2023. A number of countries have already accomplished this, including a range of middle-and lower-income countries worldwide have heavily restricted or eliminated trans fats altogether, according to WHO's Regional Director of South-East Asia Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh.</p> <p>Singh wrote in an op-ed article that industrially produced trans fats are artificial compounds formed by ‘partial hydrogenation of edible oils' that are harmful when consumed, even at low levels. In the South-East Asia Region, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) are the primary source of trans fats in food items.</p> <p>According to her, commercial food production, particularly with regard to bakery products such as biscuits and pastries, use high amounts of PHVOs, thus increasing the risk of trans fat consumption.Changing food patterns and the popularity of processed foods is likely to increase trans fat intake. Likewise,high levels of trans fat have also been found elsewhere, especially in food produced by informal vendors.Trans fats dramatically increase the risk of heart attack, Singh noted.</p> <p>"Replacing oils containing high trans fats with healthier options will have no impact on the taste or availability of food, and will dramatically advance health and wellbeing. It will also help achieve WHO South-East Asia’s regional target and Flagship Priority of reducing non-communicable diseases by one-fourth by 2025, and then by one-third by 2030, as per the Sustainable Development Goal targets," she wrote in the article to New Business Age.</p> <p>Mustard, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), ground nut, and soya-based oils are all healthier alternatives. These crops are valuable, efficient and in high demand. Importantly, the increased growth, production and use of these crops will enhance the health and wellbeing of people and align the region with the global drive to restricttrans of fats and save millions of lives at virtually no cost to the government or consumers.</p> <p>To that end, WHO’s six-step REPLACE action package –launched last week in Geneva – provides all countries with proven tools to completely eliminate trans fats from their national food supply and counter increasingly changing food patterns, according to Singh.</p> <p>At present, 90 percent of people around the world – about 6.5 billion – are exposed to these artery-clogging substances, with little to no government support or alternatives offerred. WHO’s REPLACE package aims to accelerate restrictions on trans fat products via an easy six-step process. Each ofthese steps can be readily embraced, implemented and enforced, with game-changing effect, she further said.</p> <p>First is reviewing dietary sources of trans fats and the landscape required for policy change. Second is promoting the replacement of trans fats with healthier fats and oils.Third is legislating or enacting regulatory actions to eliminate trans fats.Fourth is assessing and monitoring trans fat content in the food supply and changes in trans fat consumption in the population.Fifth is creating awareness of the negative health impact of trans fats among policymakers, producers, suppliers and the public. And sixth is enforcing compliance with policies and regulations.</p> <p>"If implemented effectively, the WHO REPLACE package will ensure prompt, complete and sustained elimination of trans fats from the world’s food supply, thereby driving down demand. That is a good that will give many times over, saving billions of dollars in both developed and developing economies, and slashing the rate of premature deaths worldwide. But making that happen requires more than goodwill; it requires a willingness to act, and to do so decisively." </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-27', 'modified' => '2018-05-27', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8082', 'image' => '20180527044542_afdfdfd.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-05-27 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8301', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Globalising Nepali Food', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.', 'content' => '<p>May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.</p> <p>Airport Hotel has started a campaign called ‘One Nepali in our Hotel’.</p> <p>“This Nepali food festival will be organised for one month from May 24,” said Binayak Shah, managing director of Airport Hotel and general secretary of Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN).</p> <p>Shah said that many international hotels are also organising Nepali food festivals which will gradually help to globalise the cuisines. “Initiating this campaign will be crucial to gradually inspire others to promote Nepali food.

', 'content' => '<p>May 27: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued a warning of health hazards on consumption of trans fats and on May 14 called all countries to make the world free of trans fats by 2023. A number of countries have already accomplished this, including a range of middle-and lower-income countries worldwide have heavily restricted or eliminated trans fats altogether, according to WHO's Regional Director of South-East Asia Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh.</p> <p>Singh wrote in an op-ed article that industrially produced trans fats are artificial compounds formed by ‘partial hydrogenation of edible oils' that are harmful when consumed, even at low levels. In the South-East Asia Region, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) are the primary source of trans fats in food items.</p> <p>According to her, commercial food production, particularly with regard to bakery products such as biscuits and pastries, use high amounts of PHVOs, thus increasing the risk of trans fat consumption.Changing food patterns and the popularity of processed foods is likely to increase trans fat intake. Likewise,high levels of trans fat have also been found elsewhere, especially in food produced by informal vendors.Trans fats dramatically increase the risk of heart attack, Singh noted.</p> <p>"Replacing oils containing high trans fats with healthier options will have no impact on the taste or availability of food, and will dramatically advance health and wellbeing. It will also help achieve WHO South-East Asia’s regional target and Flagship Priority of reducing non-communicable diseases by one-fourth by 2025, and then by one-third by 2030, as per the Sustainable Development Goal targets," she wrote in the article to New Business Age.</p> <p>Mustard, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), ground nut, and soya-based oils are all healthier alternatives. These crops are valuable, efficient and in high demand. Importantly, the increased growth, production and use of these crops will enhance the health and wellbeing of people and align the region with the global drive to restricttrans of fats and save millions of lives at virtually no cost to the government or consumers.</p> <p>To that end, WHO’s six-step REPLACE action package –launched last week in Geneva – provides all countries with proven tools to completely eliminate trans fats from their national food supply and counter increasingly changing food patterns, according to Singh.</p> <p>At present, 90 percent of people around the world – about 6.5 billion – are exposed to these artery-clogging substances, with little to no government support or alternatives offerred. WHO’s REPLACE package aims to accelerate restrictions on trans fat products via an easy six-step process. Each ofthese steps can be readily embraced, implemented and enforced, with game-changing effect, she further said.</p> <p>First is reviewing dietary sources of trans fats and the landscape required for policy change. Second is promoting the replacement of trans fats with healthier fats and oils.Third is legislating or enacting regulatory actions to eliminate trans fats.Fourth is assessing and monitoring trans fat content in the food supply and changes in trans fat consumption in the population.Fifth is creating awareness of the negative health impact of trans fats among policymakers, producers, suppliers and the public. And sixth is enforcing compliance with policies and regulations.</p> <p>"If implemented effectively, the WHO REPLACE package will ensure prompt, complete and sustained elimination of trans fats from the world’s food supply, thereby driving down demand. That is a good that will give many times over, saving billions of dollars in both developed and developing economies, and slashing the rate of premature deaths worldwide. But making that happen requires more than goodwill; it requires a willingness to act, and to do so decisively." </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-27', 'modified' => '2018-05-27', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8082', 'image' => '20180527044542_afdfdfd.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-05-27 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8301', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Globalising Nepali Food', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.', 'content' => '<p>May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.</p> <p>Airport Hotel has started a campaign called ‘One Nepali in our Hotel’.</p> <p>“This Nepali food festival will be organised for one month from May 24,” said Binayak Shah, managing director of Airport Hotel and general secretary of Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN).</p> <p>Shah said that many international hotels are also organising Nepali food festivals which will gradually help to globalise the cuisines. “Initiating this campaign will be crucial to gradually inspire others to promote Nepali food.

A number of countries have already accomplished this, including a range of middle-and lower-income countries worldwide have heavily restricted or eliminated trans fats altogether, according to WHO's Regional Director of South-East Asia Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh.</p> <p>Singh wrote in an op-ed article that industrially produced trans fats are artificial compounds formed by ‘partial hydrogenation of edible oils' that are harmful when consumed, even at low levels. In the South-East Asia Region, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) are the primary source of trans fats in food items.</p> <p>According to her, commercial food production, particularly with regard to bakery products such as biscuits and pastries, use high amounts of PHVOs, thus increasing the risk of trans fat consumption.Changing food patterns and the popularity of processed foods is likely to increase trans fat intake. Likewise,high levels of trans fat have also been found elsewhere, especially in food produced by informal vendors.Trans fats dramatically increase the risk of heart attack, Singh noted.</p> <p>"Replacing oils containing high trans fats with healthier options will have no impact on the taste or availability of food, and will dramatically advance health and wellbeing. It will also help achieve WHO South-East Asia’s regional target and Flagship Priority of reducing non-communicable diseases by one-fourth by 2025, and then by one-third by 2030, as per the Sustainable Development Goal targets," she wrote in the article to New Business Age.</p> <p>Mustard, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), ground nut, and soya-based oils are all healthier alternatives. These crops are valuable, efficient and in high demand. Importantly, the increased growth, production and use of these crops will enhance the health and wellbeing of people and align the region with the global drive to restricttrans of fats and save millions of lives at virtually no cost to the government or consumers.</p> <p>To that end, WHO’s six-step REPLACE action package –launched last week in Geneva – provides all countries with proven tools to completely eliminate trans fats from their national food supply and counter increasingly changing food patterns, according to Singh.</p> <p>At present, 90 percent of people around the world – about 6.5 billion – are exposed to these artery-clogging substances, with little to no government support or alternatives offerred. WHO’s REPLACE package aims to accelerate restrictions on trans fat products via an easy six-step process. Each ofthese steps can be readily embraced, implemented and enforced, with game-changing effect, she further said.</p> <p>First is reviewing dietary sources of trans fats and the landscape required for policy change. Second is promoting the replacement of trans fats with healthier fats and oils.Third is legislating or enacting regulatory actions to eliminate trans fats.Fourth is assessing and monitoring trans fat content in the food supply and changes in trans fat consumption in the population.Fifth is creating awareness of the negative health impact of trans fats among policymakers, producers, suppliers and the public. And sixth is enforcing compliance with policies and regulations.</p> <p>"If implemented effectively, the WHO REPLACE package will ensure prompt, complete and sustained elimination of trans fats from the world’s food supply, thereby driving down demand. That is a good that will give many times over, saving billions of dollars in both developed and developing economies, and slashing the rate of premature deaths worldwide. But making that happen requires more than goodwill; it requires a willingness to act, and to do so decisively." </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-27', 'modified' => '2018-05-27', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8082', 'image' => '20180527044542_afdfdfd.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-05-27 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8301', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Globalising Nepali Food', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.', 'content' => '<p>May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.</p> <p>Airport Hotel has started a campaign called ‘One Nepali in our Hotel’.</p> <p>“This Nepali food festival will be organised for one month from May 24,” said Binayak Shah, managing director of Airport Hotel and general secretary of Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN).</p> <p>Shah said that many international hotels are also organising Nepali food festivals which will gradually help to globalise the cuisines. “Initiating this campaign will be crucial to gradually inspire others to promote Nepali food.

The department's Spokesperson Mukti Gautam said, "Due to the unavailability of budget, the department could not initiate the tender process for the reconstruction." "Even if the budget is made available now, the reconstruction work is impossible as it needs 2/3 months for tender process," he added.</p> <p>The floods had largely damaged the roads and bridges along the main highway and other link roads. "The damaged roads and bridges are still being operated after temporary repair," informed Gautam. Due to the lack of renovation this year, it is likely to create more problems in the upcoming monsoon again.</p> <p>The department has demanded Rs 3 billion from the government for the reconstruction and renovation of those damaged bridges and roads. According to Gautam, the department had been pleading with the finance minister to release the budget. However, the budget has not been obtained.

', 'content' => '<p>May 27: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has issued a warning of health hazards on consumption of trans fats and on May 14 called all countries to make the world free of trans fats by 2023. A number of countries have already accomplished this, including a range of middle-and lower-income countries worldwide have heavily restricted or eliminated trans fats altogether, according to WHO's Regional Director of South-East Asia Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh.</p> <p>Singh wrote in an op-ed article that industrially produced trans fats are artificial compounds formed by ‘partial hydrogenation of edible oils' that are harmful when consumed, even at low levels. In the South-East Asia Region, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) are the primary source of trans fats in food items.</p> <p>According to her, commercial food production, particularly with regard to bakery products such as biscuits and pastries, use high amounts of PHVOs, thus increasing the risk of trans fat consumption.Changing food patterns and the popularity of processed foods is likely to increase trans fat intake. Likewise,high levels of trans fat have also been found elsewhere, especially in food produced by informal vendors.Trans fats dramatically increase the risk of heart attack, Singh noted.</p> <p>"Replacing oils containing high trans fats with healthier options will have no impact on the taste or availability of food, and will dramatically advance health and wellbeing. It will also help achieve WHO South-East Asia’s regional target and Flagship Priority of reducing non-communicable diseases by one-fourth by 2025, and then by one-third by 2030, as per the Sustainable Development Goal targets," she wrote in the article to New Business Age.</p> <p>Mustard, sunflower, rapeseed (canola), ground nut, and soya-based oils are all healthier alternatives. These crops are valuable, efficient and in high demand. Importantly, the increased growth, production and use of these crops will enhance the health and wellbeing of people and align the region with the global drive to restricttrans of fats and save millions of lives at virtually no cost to the government or consumers.</p> <p>To that end, WHO’s six-step REPLACE action package –launched last week in Geneva – provides all countries with proven tools to completely eliminate trans fats from their national food supply and counter increasingly changing food patterns, according to Singh.</p> <p>At present, 90 percent of people around the world – about 6.5 billion – are exposed to these artery-clogging substances, with little to no government support or alternatives offerred. WHO’s REPLACE package aims to accelerate restrictions on trans fat products via an easy six-step process. Each ofthese steps can be readily embraced, implemented and enforced, with game-changing effect, she further said.</p> <p>First is reviewing dietary sources of trans fats and the landscape required for policy change. Second is promoting the replacement of trans fats with healthier fats and oils.Third is legislating or enacting regulatory actions to eliminate trans fats.Fourth is assessing and monitoring trans fat content in the food supply and changes in trans fat consumption in the population.Fifth is creating awareness of the negative health impact of trans fats among policymakers, producers, suppliers and the public. And sixth is enforcing compliance with policies and regulations.</p> <p>"If implemented effectively, the WHO REPLACE package will ensure prompt, complete and sustained elimination of trans fats from the world’s food supply, thereby driving down demand. That is a good that will give many times over, saving billions of dollars in both developed and developing economies, and slashing the rate of premature deaths worldwide. But making that happen requires more than goodwill; it requires a willingness to act, and to do so decisively." </p> <p> </p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-05-27', 'modified' => '2018-05-27', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8082', 'image' => '20180527044542_afdfdfd.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-05-27 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8301', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Globalising Nepali Food', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.', 'content' => '<p>May 27: Promotion of Nepali food at various hotels has gained pace since the May 7 launch of Cookbook of Nepali cuisines, a one-day food fest held in the capital.</p> <p>Airport Hotel has started a campaign called ‘One Nepali in our Hotel’.</p> <p>“This Nepali food festival will be organised for one month from May 24,” said Binayak Shah, managing director of Airport Hotel and general secretary of Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN).</p> <p>Shah said that many international hotels are also organising Nepali food festivals which will gradually help to globalise the cuisines. “Initiating this campaign will be crucial to gradually inspire others to promote Nepali food.
