Priya is a fitness freak who is always on the lookout for healthy food items that can be prepared with minimum effort. However, as a working woman, she has a busy schedule and so she ends up consuming a lot of junk food. One day, she opened up to one of her colleagues about how she has been gaining weight due to her unhealthy diet. Her colleague made a great suggestion of purchasing affordable frozen food items which can be both healthy and easy to prepare.

রাজধানীর ১৬টি জায়গায় আগামীকাল বৃহস্পতিবার (১৪ মার্চ) থেকে পাওয়া যাবে ‘রেডি টু কুক ফিশ’। কর্মজীবী নারীদের রান্না সহজ করার জন্য এমন উদ্যোগ নিয়েছে সরকার।

বুধবার (১৩ মার্চ) মৎস্য উন্নয়ন করপোরেশন (বিএফডিসি) আয়োজিত ‘বিএফডিসি রেডি টু কুক ফিশ’ বিপণন কার্যক্রমের উদ্বোধন করেছেন মৎস্য ও প্রাণিসম্পদমন্ত্রী মো. আব্দুর রহমান।

মন্ত্রণালয়ের পাঠানো প্রেস বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে জানানো হয়, সরকারের নানা উদ্যোগের ফলে নারীরা বিভিন্ন পেশায় নিয়োজিত হচ্ছেন। ফলে তাদের জীবনযাত্রা সহজ করার জন্য বিএফডিসি রেডি ফিশ খুবই ফলপ্রসূ হবে বলে আশা করা যায়।

বিজ্ঞপ্তিতে আরও জানানো হয়, ভ্রাম্যমাণ ১৬টি স্থান ছাড়াও তিনটি স্থানে স্থায়ীভাবে এই মাছ বিক্রি করা হবে। সেগুলো হলো কারওয়ান বাজারে অবস্থিত বিএফডিসি ভবনের মৎস্যবিতান, যাত্রাবাড়ীর মৎস্য অবতরণ কেন্দ্র ও চট্টগ্রাম মৎস্য বন্দর।

যে ১৬ স্থানে পাওয়া যাবে মাছ
স্থানগুলো হলো—মহাখালী ডিওএইচএস, ২৭ নম্বর রোড, নেভি হেডকোয়ার্টার ও গুলশান (আজাদ মসজিদ-সংলগ্ন), সচিবালয়ের দক্ষিণ গেট, মিরপুর ডিওএইচএস, মিরপুর, স্বপ্ন নগর আবাসিক এলাকা, ক্যান্টনমেন্ট, মিরপুর অপরাজিতা ভবন, মিরপুর, ধানমন্ডি ৬ নম্বর, আজিমপুর কলোনি, আজিমপুর, লেডিস ক্লাব, ইস্কাটন, সচিব কোয়ার্টার, ইস্কাটন (বুধবার ও শনিবার), দুদক অফিস, সেগুনবাগিচা, এজিবি কলোনি, মতিঝিল, শংকর, ধানমন্ডি, সেচভবন, মানিক মিয়া এভিনিউ (শুক্রবার ও শনিবার), ধানমন্ডি ২৮, ও মোহাম্মদপুর মা ও শিশু হাসপাতাল সংলগ্ন, মোহাম্মদপুর।

উদ্বোধনের পর মন্ত্রী বলেন, প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনা কর্মজীবী নারীদের রান্না সহজ করার জন্য রেডি টু কুক ফিশ প্রস্তুতকরণ, বাজারজাতকরণ ও বাজার সম্প্রসারণের দিকনির্দেশনা দেন। সে জন্য বিএফডিসি রেডি টু কুক ফিশ প্রস্তুতকরণ ও বাজারজাতকরণ কার্যক্রম গ্রহণ করে। এই কার্যক্রম স্মার্ট বাংলাদেশ বিনির্মাণে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা রাখবে।

তিনি আরও বলেন, রেডি টু কুক ফিশের ক্ষেত্রে একটা বড় চ্যালেঞ্জ হলো স্বাদ ও খাদ্যমান বজায় রাখা। তবে বিএফডিসি থেকে যেসব মাছ রেডি টু কুক হিসেবে বিপণন করা হবে, তা অত্যন্ত মানসম্মত বলে তিনি মন্তব্য করেন।

মাছ উৎপাদনে আমরা বিশ্বে তৃতীয় হলেও, মাছ রফতানি ও প্রক্রিয়াজাতকরণে পিছিয়ে আছি উল্লেখ করে আবদুর রহমান বলেন, স্থানীয় ও আন্তর্জাতিক বাজারে রেডি টু কুক ফিশের অনেক চাহিদা রয়েছে। বিদেশের বাজারে রেডি টু কুক ফিশের ক্ষেত্রে কোন কোন ধরনের মাছের চাহিদা রয়েছে, সেটা খুঁজে বের করার জন্য সংশ্লিষ্টদের আহ্বান জানান তিনি।

According to the Chattogram Customs House, sea fish are sourced from various countries, including Paraguay, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, China, Pakistan, Myanmar and India. On the other hand, frozen meat is imported from countries such as India, Thailand, Korea, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, Malaysia and Japan.

Eat plenty of the below foods and you won’t end up in a hangry rage while fasting.

1. Water
This isn’t technically a food, but it’s gosh-danged important for getting through fasting.

Water is central to the health of basically every major organ in your body. You’d be foolish to avoid this as part of your fast. Your organs are pretty important for, ya know, being alive.

The amount of water each person should drink varies based on s*x, height, weight, activity level, and climate. But a good measure is the color of your urine. You want it to be pale yellow at all times.

Dark yellow urine suggests dehydration, which can cause headaches, fatigue, and lightheadedness. Couple that with limited food and you’ve got a recipe for disaster — or, at the very least, really dark p*e.

If the thought of plain water doesn’t excite you, add a squeeze of lemon juice, a few mint leaves, or some cucumber slices to your water.

Here’s why H2O is the champion.

2. Avocado
It may seem counterintuitive to eat the highest-calorie fruit while trying to lose weight. But, because of their high unsaturated fat content, avocados will keep you full during even the fastiest of fasting periods.

Research from 2017 suggests unsaturated fats help keep your body full even when you don’t feel full. Your body gives off signals that it has enough food and isn’t about to go into emergency starvation mode. Unsaturated fats keep these signals going for longer, even if you feel a bit hungry in the middle of a fasting period.

A 2013 study even found that adding half an avocado to your lunch may keep you full for hours longer than if you hadn’t eaten that green, mushy gem.

Out of inspiration? We’ve got 36 avocado recipes to blow your mind.

3. Fish and seafood
There’s a reason the Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest most adults eat 8 to 10 ounces of fish per week.

In addition to being rich in healthy fats and protein, it contains ample amounts of vitamin D.

And if eating during limited windows is your bag, don’t you want more nutritional bang for your buck when you do chow down?

There are so many ways to cook fish that you’ll never run out of ideas.

4. Cruciferous veggies
Foods like broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are all full of the f-word — fiber! (We know what you were thinking, and no, the f-word is not “farts.”)

When you’re eating during certain intervals, it’s crucial to eat fiber-rich foods that will keep you regular and help your p**p factory run smoothly.

Research indicates that fiber can also make you feel full, which may be a good thing if you can’t eat again for 16 hours. Oof.

Cruciferous veggies can also help reduce your cancer risk. Learn more about anticancer foods here.

5. Potatoes
Repeat after us: Not all white foods are bad.

Case in point: Research in the ’90s found that potatoes were one of the most filling foods. And a 2012 study found that eating potatoes as part of a healthy diet could help with weight loss. (Sorry, but french fries and potato chips don’t count.)

We took a closer look at the link between potatoes and blood sugar.

6. Beans and legumes
Your favorite addition to chili may be your best friend on the IF lifestyle.

Food — specifically carbs — supplies energy for activity. We’re not telling you to carb-load to ridiculous levels, but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to throw some low calorie carbs like beans and legumes into your eating plan. This can keep you perked up during your fasting hours.

Plus, some research suggests that foods like chickpeas, black beans, peas, and lentils may help decrease body weight, even without calorie restriction.

7. Probiotics
You know what the little critters in your gut like the most? Consistency and diversity. That means they aren’t happy when they’re hungry. And research suggests that when your gut isn’t happy, you may experience some irritating side effects, such as constipation.

To counteract this unpleasantness, add probiotic-rich foods — like kefir, kombucha, and sauerkraut — to your diet.

We spoke with the experts about how probiotics work in the body.

8. Berries
These staples of your favorite smoothie are ripe with vital nutrients. And that’s not even the best part.

A large 2016 study found that people who consumed a whole bunch of flavonoids, such as those in blueberries and strawberries, had smaller increases in BMI over a 14-year period than people who didn’t eat berries.

9. Eggs
One large egg provides 6.24 grams of protein and cooks up in minutes. And getting as much protein as possible is important for keeping full and building muscle, especially when you’re eating less.

A 2010 study found that men who ate eggs for breakfast instead of a bagel were less hungry and ate less throughout the day.

In other words, when you’re looking for something to do during your fasting period, why not hard-boil the heck out of some eggs? Then, you can eat them when the time is right.

10. Nuts
They may be higher in calories than many other snacks, but nuts contain something most snack foods don’t: good fats.

And if you’re worried about calories, don’t be! A 2012 study found that a 1-ounce serving of almonds (about 23 nuts) has 20 percent fewer calories than listed on the label.

According to the study, chewing doesn’t completely break down almond cell walls. This leaves a portion of the nut intact, and your body doesn’t absorb it during digestion. So if you eat almonds, they might not make as big a dent in your daily calorie intake as you thought.

Have a look at our ultimate guide to nuts.

11. Whole grains
Being on a diet and eating carbs seem like they belong in two different buckets. You’ll be super relieved to know that this isn’t always the case. Whole grains provide lots of fiber and protein, so eating a little goes a long way toward keeping you full.

Fish is one of the healthiest and tastiest foods you can eat because it is loaded with important nutrients like protein and vitamin D. Fish is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have countless benefits that include lowering of blood pressure and cholesterol, fighting depression and anxiety, promoting brain health, potentially improving bone and joint health, and much more.

What is the ranking of fish in Bangladesh?

Third
Bangladesh has ranked third for inland fish capture production and fifth for “aquaculture production in FAO's State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2022, although the country is only 148,000 square kilometres – less than half the size of Vietnam.

While a discarded or abandoned net lies underwater, many passing fish become entangled and die with no further use. This kind of fishing is known as Ghost Fishing.

The coastal and marine environment of Bangladesh is blessed with a warm tropical climate and high rainfall, enriched with nutrients from the land, creating one of the world's richest ecosystems with high productivity. Exploration, exploitation and management of living and non-living resources of the Bay of Bengal have potential to sustantially contribute to the economy of Bangladesh. Particularly after the recent decision of the International Tribunal for Law of the Sea (ITLOS) regarding the Bangladesh-Myanmar maritime boundary, 2012 and the decision of the Arbitral Tribunal of the UNCLOS on India-Bangladesh maritime boundary, 2014 established sovereign rights on more than 118,813 km2 area of territorial sea and 200 nautical miles (NM) of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and all kinds of living and non-living resources under the continental shelf up to 354 nautical miles from the Chittagong coast (Fig. 7) (MoFA, 2014). Currently, 32,440 km2, starting from the coastline to 40 m depth, in the Bay, are open to around 67,669 unlicensed fishing boats, of which about 51% are non-motorized boats.

Leap Day is the extra day at the end of February added to the Julian and Gregorian calendars every four years. There are several traditions associated with Leap Day around the world such as having women propose to men and decorating trees with ribbons.
