Deja Vu : Is it merely a coincidence or could there be a reason for it?

The term "Deja vu" has become rather well-known to us because it is uttered frequently these days by everyone. It is a word from French meaning  "already seen." It refers to exactly what it does—a circumstance or time that we believe we have already witnessed and are rather convinced of what will happen next. It is a memory anomaly that happens when, despite a strong sense of remembering, the time, place, and practical context of the "previous" experience are uncertain or believed to be practically impossible.

Deja vu, according to scientists, is linked to temporal lobe epilepsy. An event or experience that is currently being experienced may strongly resemble an event that has already occurred in the past due to a neurological irregularity caused by epileptic electrical discharge in the brain. Even migraines with aura are reportedly linked to a sense of de ja vu. Numerous studies have been conducted to discover some form of genetic connection, but none have produced results that quite fit. It is believed that a gene called LGI1 on chromosome 10 has a perfect correlation to de Ja Vu, however, this is only a speculation that has not yet been proven.

Regardless of whether it sounds absurd, several medicines make de Ja Vu more apparent. It strongly implies to the taker that an event or experience they are having now has already happened before. According to several scientists, certain medications consumed in combination can also result in this phenomenon. They hypothesize that the medial temporal regions of the brain undergo hyperdopaminergic activity during a de Ja Vu encounter.

However, I do not think de Ja Vu is straightforward as a drug's side effects or co-incidence. According to my theory, everyone possesses a supernatural ability that has not yet manifested. The human brain is supposed to be extraordinarily strong and capable of achieving unthinkable things. This irregularity might be connected to a supernatural occurrence that predicts the future. Today, we can calculate and anticipate the future to some extent, which was previously unattainable in human society. Therefore, while it currently seems like science fiction or some comic-book theory, this may also be something that will be attainable in the future.

Even yet, it is only a hypothesis from a non-scientist like myself, but who knows what humans are capable of when their brains are fully engaged and irregularities like de Ja Vu unfold?

Added Sugar: A sweet poison

 It rarely comes to our mind that overconsumption of sugars can cause some serious damage to our health as well as to our mind by increasing chances of developing depression as foods contribute to changes in our moods and emotion. Even if some people know the damaging effects of sugars and tries to consume sugar in a controlled way, many people consume a lot of sugar hidden in processed foods without even realizing. Confectionary items, juices, syrups and sodas usually contains high amounts of added sugar. Who knows that tomato ketchup contains 40% sugar or a Can of soda contains more than 10 teaspoons of sugar without looking at the food label. Most people urge to have a Can of coke after oily meals such biriyani to ease their digestion or on their way home after a long tiring day at work.
