Chandrayaan-3: The historic Moon mission by India

India made history last month by becoming the first country to reach the lunar south pole. an uncrewed robotic moon lander, operated by India’s space agency and known as the chandrayaan-3, touched down on the moon’s south polar region.

The Indian Space Research Organization’s successful touchdown comes just days after a Russian spacecraft that was en route to the same area failed during an orbital maneuver and crashed into the lunar surface. The failure was a major setback for Russia’s space agency, known as

The Chandrayaan-3 landing, however, is a huge boon for the world’s most populous nation, which has been vying for greater influence in the cosmos, through both the government’s space agency and private investment. Only three other countries in history have pulled off controlled, or “soft,” lunar landings: the U.S., China and the former Soviet Union.

The moon’s south pole has long been of interest to space agencies and scientists because the region’s shadowed craters are thought to hold

greater concentrations of water ice than elsewhere on the lunar surface, so it could be of critical importance for establishing long-term human settlements on the moon.

India and Russia had been locked in a race to the lunar south pole. The Luna-25 spacecraft that crashed was the first moon-landing spacecraft launched by Russia’s space agency in almost five decades. Roscosmos officials said they lost contact with the lander after it fired its engines in preparation for a descent to the surface.

Chandrayaan-3:

lander and rover crashed into the lunar surface.

Here are some of the key people behind Chandrayaan-3:

s somanath, IsRo Chairman

The brain behind India’s ambitious Moon mission is ISRO chief S Somanath. Somanath has also been given the credits for accelerating ISRO’s other missions including Gaganyaan and Sun-mision Aditya-L1. Somanath has also served as the director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre — the primary centres for development of rocket technologies for ISRO, before heading India’s space organisation.

P Veeramuthuvel, Chandrayaan-3 project director

The Chandrayaan-3 mission is designed to conduct a series of science experiments on the surface, including tests of mineral composition and seismic activity. The lander, which is roughly the size of an SUV, is also carrying a smaller rover. Both solar-powered craft are designed to operate for about two weeks on the moon.

The Chandrayaan-3, which launched into space July 14, was India’s second attempt to land at the moon’s south pole. A previous attempt in 2019 deployed a lunar orbiter, but the Chandrayaan-2

The project director for India’s latest lunar touch-down mission is P Veeramuthuvel. In 2019, he took charge for the mission. Veeramuthuvel was serving as a deputy director in the Space Infrastructure Programme Office at the ISRO headquarters before the Moon mission started. He is known for his technical skills. Veeramuthuvel played a key role in Chandrayaan-2 mission as well, being the point person for its negotiations with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). A native of Villupuram in Tamil Nadu, Veeramuthuvel is an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology in Madras (IIT-M).

Mohana Kumar, Mission director

S Mohana Kumar, a senior scientists from the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, is the mission director for Chandrayaan-3. Kumar has worked as the director for the successful commercial launch of the One Web India 2 satellites on board the LVM3-M3 mission.

s unnikrishnan Nair, Vikram sarabhai space Centre (VssC) director

S Unnikrishnan Nair is the head of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) at Thumba in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram district. He and his team are responsible for the key functions of the crucial mission. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark –III, which was renamed as Launch Vehicle Mark-III, rocket, was also developed by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC)

M sankaran, u R Rao satellite Centre (uRsC) director

The director of U R Rao Satellite Centre, M Sankaran, is responsible for leading the satellite fraternity to meet the national requirements in the areas like communication, navigation, remote sensing,

meteorology and inter-planetary exploration. In June, 2021, he took over as director of the lead centre in India for design, development and realisation of all satellites of ISRO.

A Rajarajan, launch Authorisation Board (lAB) chief

A scientist and director of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota, A Rajarajan, is an expert in the area of composites. He was looking after the fruition of solid motor production and launch complex infrastructure to meet ISRO’s increased demand of launches including launches for Human Space Programme (Gaganyaan) and SSLV. The Launch Authorisation Board (LAB) gives the go-ahead for the launch.

Wildfire smoke and eye irritation: Understanding the connection and managing discomfort

as wildfires continue to plague various parts of the province their effects extend beyond just air quality concerns.

one frequently overlooked consequence is the potential for eye irritation due to wildfire smoke. This article sheds light on the relationship between wildfire smoke and eye discomfort, along with valuable tips to manage and alleviate these symptoms.

ildfire smoke and Eye Irritation

Wildfire smoke is a complex mixture of particles, gases, and pollutants that are harmful to the human body. They can also easily travel great distances, impacting regions far from the actual fire site. The tiny particles present in the smoke can irritate the eyes and exacerbate pre existing eye conditions such as dry eyes, conjunctivitis, and allergies. The smoke’s irritants can lead to symptoms like redness, itching, burning, excessive tearing, and a

gritty sensation in the eyes. Tips to Manage wildfire smoke-Related Eye Irritation

Limit Outdoor Activities: If there’s active wildfire smoke in your area, reduce outdoor exposure, especially during peak smoky periods, to minimize contact with irritants.

use Protective Eyewear: Wear wraparound sunglasses or goggles to shield your eyes from smoke particles and prevent irritation.

Keep Indoor Air Clean: Use air purifiers with HEPA filters to reduce indoor air pollution. Keep windows and doors closed to prevent smoke from entering your living spaces.

stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and eyes well-hydrated. This can help alleviate dryness and irritation.

use lubricating Eye Drops: Over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can provide temporary relief by adding moisture to the

eyes and washing away irritants. Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress or washcloth to closed eyes can help reduce inflammation and soothe discomfort.

Consult an Eye specialist: If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek professional medical advice from an eye doctor. They can provide targeted treatment options and address any underlying issues.

stay Informed: Keep updated on air quality levels in your area through reliable sources. Authorities often issue advisories when smoke poses health risks.

7 steps to help you keep your diabetes in check at work

To fuel your career ambitions and professional growth, good health plays a key role. Health shouldn’t hold anyone back professionally. One of the most growing health conditions today that people need to manage effectively – including in the workplace - is diabetes. With careful planning, you can keep your blood sugar levels in check, so you continue to be at your best – throughout the work day and beyond.

Dr. Ravi Sankar Erukulapati, Endocrinologist, Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad, commented, “Diabetes is a chronic lifestyle condition that needs to be managed properly to lessen the risk of other health problems in the future. For working professionals, many of whom are doing desk jobs, this can be challenging. As a result, people living with diabetes are sometimes inconsistent with their lifestyle changes and don’t take their medicines as prescribed. It is critical for people with diabetes to take necessary steps to effectively manage their diabetes and properly follow the treatment schedule for better health outcomes.”

Here are 7 steps on how to manage diabetes effectively at work:

Have a diabetes action plan that suits your worklife: Navigating your diabetes and work journey starts even before you reach the office. Getting good sleep at night matters – as does how you plan for the day. Create a routine so you don’t skip breakfast – which is important to keep sugar highs and lows at bay.

Decide whether you want to have this meal at home or when you get to work but keep it nutritious. Limit empty calories and cut back on salt and saturated fat.

snack smart: Whether a co-worker is munching on chips or fried foods, or offering everyone chocolates with celebratory news, you are always surrounded with unhealthy temptations. Avoiding snacking entirely can

be tough, so have them in moderation, and be mindful of what you eat. Keep healthy snacks at hand – fruits, salad, nuts, yogurt – for when cravings hit. Also remember to stay hydrated with water over sugary and caffeinated drinks.

Healthy lunch matters: Pack lunch smartly so you can enjoy a healthy, balanced meal and aren’t only dependant on outside food. A diabetes-friendly diet includes leafy greens (like spinach), non-starchy vegetables (like carrots, tomatoes, onions, okra, cauliflower), healthy carbs (like whole grains and brown rice), lean proteins (including eggs, beans, and chicken), and fruits low in carbohydrates (such as oranges). On days with special events, whether a colleague’s birthday or team lunch, watch your calorie intake beforehand.

In addition to following a balanced diet, it is crucial to monitor your glucose levels before and after meals. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices can be helpful in tracking your glucose levels throughout the day, providing real-time data to aid in managing your diabetes.

stick to your medication routine: To manage your diabetes well, adhering to medication is important, which helps maintain glycemic control. In case you need to take any medication at work, be sure to set reminders – maybe on your phone or with a post-it note on your desk.

Ashwini Pawar, Medical Affairs Director for Abbott in India said, “For people with diabetes, disease management is important for maintaining good health. However, many don’t take their medicines as prescribed. At Abbott, we go beyond treating diseases by helping people build better habits and addressing typical barriers for taking timely medication. Introducing patient-centric innovations such as making tablets with a special coating that make them easier to swallow,can help people overcome difficulties. Through such measures, we hope to help patients effectively manage diabetes so they can lead healthier lives while performing at their best.”

let your team be in the know:

If you feel comfortable, talk to your manager and team about living with diabetes. This may help you request for more flexible adjustments, or even con-

sistency with lunch breaks. You can also discuss critical steps necessary in case of a glucose emergency, so they know how to help you if such situations arise.

Get moving: Many at work have sedentary lifestyles. Physical activity helps people with diabetes manage their condition better. Get active by stretching at your desk, taking short walks around the office, up and down the stairs, or even outside. A recent study found that a post-meal walk also helps lower your blood sugar levels. Further, try fitting exercise into your routine before or after work.

learn to manage stress: When you are stressed, you may notice your glucose levels changing. Sometimes, you may be overwhelmed at work. Good coping mechanisms help keep your blood sugar levels in check when things get difficult. Try meditating in a quiet corner, find time to unwind (talk to a colleague or take a break), and identify and manage stressors.

Try finding a diabetes-friendly routine that works for you, so you can better manage your diabetes at work!

Signs that indicate your

Bone weakness, or osteoporosis, is a common condition characterized by decreased bone mass and compromised structural integrity. In this article, we will explore the signs that indicate your bones may be weak, empowering you to take proactive steps to maintain bone health and prevent potential complications.

frequent fractures:

One of the most apparent signs of weak bones is experiencing frequent fractures or breaks, often from minor injuries or falls. Individuals with weakened bones may find that they suffer fractures more easily and that these injuries may

Strong bones form the foundation of a healthy and active lifestyle, supporting our body’s structure and protecting vital organs. However, as we age, our bones naturally undergo a gradual loss of density, making them more susceptible to fractures and breaks.

your bones are weak

take longer to heal than expected. If you notice an increased vulnerability to fractures, it’s essential to seek a medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause.

Height loss:

A decrease in height over time can be a sign of weak bones. As bone density diminishes, the vertebrae in the spine may compress, leading to a reduction in height. If you find that you are becoming shorter or notice a change in your posture, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to assess your bone health.

Back pain:

Persistent back pain, particularly in the middle or lower back, could be a warning sign of weak bones. As the spine loses its strength, it can lead to spinal fractures, resulting in chronic pain and limited mobility. Identifying the cause of the pain and addressing it promptly can help prevent further complications.

Brittle nails:

Surprisingly, the health of your nails can offer insights into your bone health. Weak and brittle nails may indicate a lack of essential minerals like calcium and vitamin D, which are crucial for bone strength. Paying attention to the condition of your nails can prompt you to address nutritional deficiencies that may be affecting your bone health.

Receding gums:

Just as bones can weaken, so can the jawbone. Receding gums or loose teeth can be indicative of a weakening jawbone. This may result from periodontal disease or a decrease in bone density in the jaw. Maintaining good oral hygiene and addressing any dental issues promptly can help preserve jawbone health.

Poor posture: If you find yourself slouching or having difficulty maintaining good posture, it could be linked to bone weakness. Weakened bones can affect the spine’s alignment, leading to changes in posture and an increased risk of fractures and spinal deformities. Practicing exercises that promote core strength and posture can help alleviate strain on your bones.

loss of grip strength:

A decrease in grip strength may be a subtle sign of weakening bones in the hands and wrists. While it can be attributed to various factors, such as ageing and muscle weakness, it’s essential to consider bone health as a potential contributor. Exercises that target hand and wrist strength can aid in maintaining bone density in these areas.

Recognizing the signs that indicate your bones may be weak is crucial for taking proactive steps to maintain

bone health and prevent potential complications like osteoporosis. If you experience any of the mentioned signs or have concerns about your bone health, consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and appropriate guidance. Engaging in regular weight-bearing exercises, maintaining a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding unhealthy habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can all contribute to maintaining strong and healthy bones throughout your life. Remember, bone health is an integral part of overall well-being and should never be overlooked.

Three lifestyle tips for balancing Pitta dosha A

re you experiencing symptoms such as heartburn, inflammation, acid reflux, increased hunger and thirst, body odour, and feelings of anger and frustration?

These could be signs of an imbalance in pitta levels within your body.

According to Ayurveda, every individual’s body is governed by three active energies known as doshas - Vata Dosha, Pitta Dosha, and Kapha Dosha. The Pitta Dosha specifically regulates metabolic functions, thermoregulation, energy balance, pigmentation, visual processing, and attention. Imbalances in these doshas can lead to various health issues.

Now Accepting Clients

Here are three tips to help you balance the pitta dosha: follow a Pitta-Balancing Diet: Consuming naturally cooling and light foods can help pacify the pitta dosha. Opt for foods with a naturally sweet taste and include cauliflower, cucumber, leafy greens, pumpkin, peas, cilantro, ghee, coconut, and apples in your diet. Nuts like almonds, referred to as pittahara, are also beneficial for balancing pitta dosha. However, it is important to consume soaked and peeled almonds. Almond oil can be beneficial for conditions related to vata and pitta imbalancesas well as internal body heat. Avoid foods that are spicy, hot, sour.

Practice Yoga: Engaging in yoga can help restore balance to the body. Specific yoga asanas that pacify pitta imbalances include Cobra posture (Bhujangasana), Cat stretch (Marjariasana), Child’s posture (Shishu asana), Forward bend (Pashchimottasana), seated wide-angle pose (Uppavistakonasana), and Corpse posture (Shavasana). It is important to maintain a moderate pace during physical activity to avoid excessive heat build-up. Additionally, incorporating meditation into your routine can help calm the body and regulate pitta levels.

Rest and Restore: Make time to relieve stress and promote relaxation for both your body and mind. Consider activities such as walking in nature, practicing breathing exercises, listening to music, or engaging in any other pursuit that brings inner peace and tranquillity.

8 nutrition tips from celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar

Nutrition science indicates that culturally relevant foods and eating practices are the gold standard for good nutrition and health. As suggested by India’s leading nutrition expert - Rujuta Diwekar, the nutritional wisdom passed down from our grandmothers coupled with a healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity is what we should go by.

Here is some cherry-picked expert advice from Rujuta Diwekar. She shares step-bystep weekly guidelines to help people attain their 360-degree fitness goals.

start your day with a banana or any fresh fruit, soaked almonds, or soaked raisins, but not with tea or coffee. There’s no better start to the day than consuming fresh fruit, nuts, and raisins. Going by the norm, a lot of people start their day with tea or coffee, but this is not the ideal move to make if fitness is your goal. The all-rounder banana entails several health benefits such as fiber, weight loss, prevention of constipation, and improving blood sugar levels. 7-8 soaked raisins with 1-2 strands of kesar are ideal for people who suffer from low energy levels and PMS (Premenstrual syndrome). Consume 4-6 soaked and peeled almonds for combating insulin resistance, diabetes, PCOD, low fertility, or poor sleep quality. Specifically for PCOD, switch to 7-8 raisins and 1-2 strands of kesar 10 days before the menstrual cycle begins.

Add 1 tsp of ghee to breakfast, lunch, and dinner

From the shastras to your grandparents, the Sunday Mail of London, and the Cleveland Clinic of the USA, everyone has sung glories of ghee which is a core ingredient of every Indian kitchen. Adding a tbsp of ghee to lunch or dinner helps with energy, sweet cravings, constipation, and irritable bowel

syndrome. The golden elixir can be consumed with makhanas, laddoos, or after dinner to maintain healthy skin and keep joints supple. Ghee by nature is lipolytic, meaning it helps break down stubborn fats, helps us de-stress, assimilate nutrients, is rich in antioxidants, and reduces glycaemic index to aid the regulation of blood sugar.

Don’t limit yourself to a light evening snack, instead eat a wholesome meal between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

The make-or-break evening meal is the most important meal of the day according to Rujuta Diwekar. She strongly advises her clients to take this make-or-break meal seriously, as this determines the outcome of a fitness plan. This meal of course can be followed by a light dinner. A handful of chana or groundnuts for diabetics and jaggery with ghee chapatis for low HB levels are listed in the evening snack recommendations of the 12-week fitness project. Light dinner meals such as poha, upma, dosa, egg toast, protein shake, or besan laddoos post-6 pm will keep you sustained after long and tiring work hours.

Move more, sit less. Take the stairs. Park a car as far as possible. Once a week do a task usually taken up by paid help or a machine.

9-5 jobs, household chores, and other miscellaneous tasks leave no time for a workout. How does one bridge the gap? By taking

the stairs, standing up for 3 minutes for every 30 minutes of sitting, performing one chore performed by house help once a week, and taking 100 easy steps after dinner. Park your car far away so you can sneak in a walk - every time you go out. Don’t forget to take a 10-15 minute stroll every day.

start with at least one session of strength training every week

It is pivotal to gain lean body weight to lose weight. As we get older, our fat begins to infiltrate our muscles, and our anabolic response - strength training is a good way to turn that around. Don’t just focus on increasing reps - increase the weights you lift. Strength training is extremely effective but an undervalued intervention for maintaining hormonal health. It keeps your insulin sensitive, prevents diabetes, regulates the period cycle, and stimulates growth hormones. Plan for at least 150 minutes of total workout time in the week with a 2-day gap between two weight training sessions. Don’t forget to build in rest days and schedule cardio a day after weight training.

Eat dal-rice for dinner

Did you know that the quintessential go-to Indian meal ‘Dal Rice’ is an excellent pre-biotic, lowers cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of heart disease? Just because you are following a weight loss diet do not limit your rice options to brown rice, because the excess

fibre in brown rice comes in the way of absorption of minerals like zinc, crucial for insulin function. White rice has a lot of lesser-known benefits such as vitamin B1 which is good for inflammation and bloating, resistant starch which prevents cancer, and BCAA (branch chain amino acids) in rice helps see results of workout faster.

Practice suryanamaskar daily Practice five Suryanamaskars a day to attain holistic fitness. The one and only yoga asana that has stood the test of time, the one that bridges the gap between strength and calm is the Suryanamaskar. The 4 S’s of fitness namely: strength, stamina, stretching, and stability can be attained with this asana eliminating the hassle of time, space, or money. Make sure you perform five Suryanamaskars every day, whether it is after lunch, pre-breakfast, or post-bath. Suryanamaskar strengthens back muscles as well as maintains hormonal balance.

Bring back these three fats in your daily diet: Tadka in kacchi ghaani (cold-pressed or filtered) oils; Coconut as garnishing, chutney, etc; Cashews as mid-meal or with milk before sleeping

When it comes to cooking, use native or cold-pressed oils instead of refined oils. Kacchi Ghaani refers to the oil that is extracted at a lower temperature and therefore retains the fatty acids, vitamins, and other nutrients. Garnishing food with coconut or consuming it with jaggery is beneficial to one’s health as it is anti-bacterial, soothes digestion, and calms nerves. Cashews are rich in good fats, minerals, amino acids, and vitamins; they can be consumed mid-meal or with milk. These simple yet traditional kitchen items must not be underestimated when it comes to their nutritional value.

Discover the healthy world of alternative grains

Historically, humans have maintained a diet that depended on their region and the crops that grew in their vicinity, and this has worked quite well for mankind for centuries. The modern world however is very different from what it used to be a few decades ago. Technological and Industrial growth has effected a sudden change, not just in the type of food we consume, but also the type of physical activities we engage in and there seems to be a lot of catching up for the body to undertake, especially for our metabolism to adapt to this change.

This has resulted in health complications for many and calls for a reorientation of our dietary habits, by looking for sources of nutrients that work better for our well-being in the present scenario. Modern-day consumers are becoming increasingly aware of diets that suit their lifestyles and are exploring and adopting new staples. There is an incredible resurgence of some of the forgotten grains, that we now call alternative grains and they hold key to a healthier life and are being used in a variety of foods and snacks.

Alternative grains refer to a variety of non-conventional grains that are gaining popularity as alternatives to wheat, rice, and corn. Grains such as millet, amaranth, buckwheat, and quinoa offer unique flavors, textures, and nutritional benefits, making them appealing to people with specific dietary needs or those looking to diversify their food choices. Here are some examples of alternative grains.

Organizations like the UN have brought these nutrient-packed grains into the spotlight, rekindling their rich cultural heritage and highlighting their versatility in the culinary world. To enable you to explore the myriad of benefits that these grains offer, and discover how they can contribute to a healthier life. We have put together a list of 5 options you can easily try-out:

Millet - Millet is an extremely versatile grain that can be found in a variety of popular quick-bite options, ranging from chikki and energy bars to puffs and cakes. They are gluten-free and contain vital nutrients that are essential for healthy body functioning and fighting disorders such as diabetes and celiac disease. Additionally, India is the largest producer of millet in the world, making it widely and readily available to the general public. The country also has experience with millet consumption in a variety of forms, such as rotis, porridge, pulao, and much more. Although the use of millet in the processed food market is still in its early stages, many companies have realized the potential of including wonder grain in their product lineups. Millet products have traditionally been associated with being a niche, premium product. However, as more brands adopt the use of millet and the technology of processing them becomes more efficient, they will undoubtedly emerge as a force to be reckoned with in the mass market for snacks and quick bites.

Chia seeds: Nutrient-rich, tiny black seeds derived from the

Salvia Hispanica plant, Chia seeds are native to Central and South America. Despite their small size, they pack a powerful nutritional punch. Chia seeds are a great source of fiber, protein, healthy fats, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Their health benefits include aiding digestion, promoting heart health, and stabilizing blood sugar levels. When soaked in liquid, chia seeds form a gellike consistency, making them a popular addition to smoothies, puddings, and overnight oats. They can also be sprinkled on top of yogurt, salads, or used as an egg substitute in vegan baking. The versatility of chia seeds makes them an excellent choice for those seeking to incorporate a healthy boost into their daily diet.

Amaranth: Amaranth, also referred to as pigweed, is the seed of a family of plants that bear the same name. They are high in protein and free of gluten. The grain’s parent plant consists of properties that are similar to spinach. Amaranth is mainly used to produce flour and flakes and has a mild, nutty, and malty flavour. It consists of adequate quantities of Vitamins A and C, as well as essential minerals. Amaranth can typically be consumed in the form of muesli, granola bars, cookies, and much more, which are becoming popular in stores and supermarkets across the country.

oats: One of the better-known alternative grains that are available in the market, Oats are a popular breakfast dish in many parts of the world. Many types of dishes can be concocted

from oats, some of the popular ones being cookies, muffins, and porridge, among others. Prebiotic fibers like the soluble fiber beta-glucan are also abundant in oats, which serve as a fuel supply for the good bacteria in our gut, promoting their growth and activity while displacing undesirable, harmful microbes.

Barley: Barley is a popular alternative grain that is used to craft a wide range of food products, such as cereals, soups, bread, and beer. Pearl barley is the most widely accessible type of barley while pot barley is the healthiest, due to the way it is processed for consumption. The soluble fiber beta-glucan, which is found in barley, affects energy metabolism by subtly reducing hunger and enhancing insulin sensitivity. However, barley does contain limited amounts of gluten, making it inadvisable for people that are gluten-intolerant.

As more and more people increasingly embrace the trend of alternative grains, it’s time for you to join the movement towards a nourishing and sustainable lifestyle. Incorporating the unique flavours and adaptability of these superfoods into your daily meals allows you to make a conscious choice that aligns with health and nutrition. Harnessing the relatively unrealised potential of alternative grains for food security, nutrition, and sustainable agriculture can help enhance not just ourselves, but the environment around us.

An ear infection (some- times called acute otitis media) is an infection of the middle ear, the air-filled space behind the eardrum that contains the tiny vibrating bones of the ear. Children are more likely than adults to get ear infections.

Because ear infections often clear up on their own, treatment may begin with managing pain and monitoring the problem. Sometimes, antibiotics are used to clear the infection. Some people are prone to having multiple ear infections. This can cause hearing problems and other serious complications.

symptoms

The onset of signs and symptoms of ear infection is usually rapid.

Children signs and symptoms common in children include:

CAusEs

An ear infection is caused by a bacterium or virus in the middle ear. This infection often results from another illness — cold, flu or allergy — that causes congestion and swelling of the nasal passages, throat and eustachian tubes.

Role of eustachian tubes

The eustachian tubes are a pair of nar-

row tubes that run from each middle ear to high in the back of the throat, behind the nasal passages. The throat end of the tubes open and close to:

4Regulate air pressure in the middle ear

4Refresh air in the ear

4Drain normal secretions from the middle ear

Swollen eustachian tubes can become blocked, causing fluids to build up in the middle ear. This fluid can become infected and cause the symptoms of an ear infection.

In children, the eustachian tubes are narrower and more horizontal, which makes them more difficult to drain and more likely to get clogged.

Role of adenoids

Adenoids are two small pads of tissues high in the back of the nose believed to play a role in immune system activity.

Because adenoids are near the opening of the eustachian tubes, swelling of the adenoids may block the tubes. This can lead to middle ear infection. Swelling and irritation of adenoids is more likely to play a role in ear infections in children because children have relatively larger adenoids compared to adults

Risk factors

Risk factors for ear infections include:

4Age: Children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years are more susceptible to ear infections because of the size and shape of their eustachian tubes and

because their immune systems are still developing.

4Group child care: Children cared for in group settings are more likely to get colds and ear infections than are children who stay home. The children in group settings are exposed to more infections, such as the common cold.

4Infant feeding: Babies who drink from a bottle, especially while lying down, tend to have more ear infections than do babies who are breast-fed.

4seasonal factors: Ear infections are most common during the fall and winter. People with seasonal allergies may have a greater risk of ear infections when pollen counts are high.

4Poor air quality: Exposure to tobacco smoke or high levels of air pollution can increase the risk of ear infections.

5 signs you are dehydrated

the day will help in hydration. Set reminders to remind yourself to drink water regularly.

Recognizing the signs of dehydration is crucial, as it’s essential to address it promptly to maintain overall health. Dr Deepak Jakhar, MBBS, MD Dermatologist, Co-Founder of Dermosphere Clinic guides us through signs that may indicate you are dehydrated, along with tips to prevent dehydration:

Dry, flaky skin: Your skin may feel tight, rough, or flaky. Fine lines and wrinkles may become more pronounced due to decreased skin elasticity.

Chapped or cracked lips: Your lips may feel dry, and tight, or develop cracks. Lips might appear red, irritated, or peeled.

Dull complexion: Dehydration can lead to a lackluster complexion with less radiant and glowing skin.

Increased skin sensitivity: Dehydrated skin can become more sensitive to irritants, leading to itching, redness, or discomfort.

Delayed wound healing:

Dehydrated skin can have impaired wound healing and might take longer to recover from cuts or other injuries.

Tips to prevent dehydration and maintain skin and lip health:

stay hydrated throughout the day: Drinking adequate amount of water throughout

Consume hydrating foods: Eat water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and lettuce. Incorporate foods rich in healthy fats like avocados and nuts, which support skin hydration.

use hydrating skincare products: Choose moisturisers and serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides to lock in moisture. Apply lip balm with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil to keep lips moisturised.

limit hot showers and harsh cleansers: Hot water and aggressive cleansers can strip the skin of natural oils, leading to dehydration. Use mild, hydrating cleansers and go for lukewarm

Protect your skin from the sun: Apply sunscreen daily to shield your skin from UV radiation, which can contribute to skin dehydration. Wear clothes that fully protect you and seek shade when the sun is strongest.

Humidify Your Environment: Use a humidifier, especially during dry seasons, to add moisture to the air and prevent excessive skin dryness.

Moderate Caffeine and Alcohol Intake: Both caffeine and alcohol can have a diuretic effect, contributing to dehydration. Balance their consumption with increased water intake.

Dehydration occurs when our body loses more fluids than it takes in, leading to an imbalance in the body’s electrolytes and reduced ability to function properly.

Why men shouldn’t ignore sexual wellness issues

when was the last time you heard a man discussing his sexual wellness in a peer group or a social setting, or even with his loved ones?

Chances are, you’ve never heard of such a thing. These conversations, while critical, just do not happen. While as individuals, we are hardwired to share our issues with our near and dear ones, certain conversations still take place in hushed tones. Sexual wellness is one such topic. Since such issues are not spoken about and people refrain from seeking treatment due to a lack of awareness and right online platforms in the country.

Performance Pressure

Sexual health and effectiveness are taboo in society and specifically for men for various reasons. It is often assumed that sexual activity comes more naturally to men than women. While that is untrue, this notion gets even more troublesome when men aren’t able to perform in bed. Men suffer from performance anxiety a lot more than women, which is a leading cause of erectile dysfunction.

Erectile Dysfunction

The commonly used term for ED is impotence. The mere association of this word with men arouses discomfort in social circles and, more often than not, leads to a scarred image. But the problem is not as rare, just less talked about.

Trouble maintaining an erection could very well be caused by fibrosis or atrophy, which is a sufficiently organic process but could also be caused due to drugs or smoke. Another myth surrounding men’s sexual health is that ED is a psychological disorder. While the cause could be neurological, the issue needs to be probed for clarity and subsequent treatment.

low libido

Libido comes naturally to all genders, given they’re in a suitable space in their head. Sexual pleasure is a recreational activity that does not need to be and ideally is not supposed to be imposed upon anyone. So, not being in the right mind space, like experiencing stress or anxiety, could lead to low libido. There could be very many reasons that need to get checked by an expert.

Premature Ejaculation

Generally, one out of three men has been known to complain about premature orgasm. This creates a lot of pressure upon men as they feel they’re somehow incapable of pleasing their women. This further causes a loss of self-confidence, adversely impacting their mental health and even leading to severe problems. Sexual pleasure, like any other need in life, is an individual’s responsibility. But acceptance in relationships plays a significant role in bringing that sort of communication out loud. This helps improve relationships and emotional health and leads to enhanced confidence and perspective in all aspects of life. Again, acceptance is the key in the end.

7 essential tips to pick the perfect bridal sarees

Choosing the perfect bridal designer saree is a crucial decision for any bride-to-be. It sets the tone for her wedding day look and reflects her personal style.

With a plethora of options available, selecting the right saree can be overwhelming. To help you in your search, here are seven essential tips to pick the perfect bridal designer saree.

Research and Explore: Before diving into the shopping process, conduct thorough research and explore various bridal designer saree options. Look for inspiration in bridal magazines, online platforms, and social media. Pay attention to different styles, fabrics, colors, and embellishments. This will give you a better understanding of your preferences and help you narrow down your choices.

set a budget: Wedding preparations can be financially demanding, so it’s crucial to set a budget for your bridal saree. Determine the maximum amount you are willing to spend and stick to it. Setting a budget will help you focus on options that are within your price range and prevent you from overspending.

Consider your body type: Every bride has a unique body type, and it’s essential to choose a saree that complements your figure. For instance, if you have a pearshaped body, opt for sarees with lighter fabrics and minimalistic designs to balance out your proportions. Similarly, if you have an hourglass figure, you can experiment with different draping styles and heavier fabrics like silk said Aaliya Deeba, founder of Ideebs London, a Couture Label

select the right fabric: The fabric of the saree plays a significant role in determining its overall look and comfort. Bridal sarees are often crafted in luxurious fabrics like silk, velvet, or chiffon. Consider the weather

and the season of your wedding while choosing the fabric. Silk sarees are ideal for traditional weddings, while lighter fabrics like georgette or chiffon work well for destination or summer weddings.

Pay attention to colors and embellishments: The color of your bridal saree should complement your skin tone and enhance your natural beauty. Traditional colors like red, maroon, and gold are popular choices for Indian weddings, but don’t be afraid to explore other colors like pastels or jewel tones. Additionally, consider the embellishments on the saree. Intricate embroidery, zari work, sequins, and stone embellishments can add a touch of glamour to your bridal ensemble.

shop from trusted designers: When it comes to bridal sarees, it’s crucial to shop from trusted and renowned designers. Look for designers who specialize in bridal wear and have a good reputation for quality and craftsmanship. Read reviews, seek recommendations from friends or family, and visit multiple stores to find the perfect designer who resonates with your style.

Take time for trials and alterations: Once you have found a saree that catches your eye, make sure to try it on and assess how it looks on you. Take time to drape the saree properly and check if it fits well and flatters your body shape. If necessary, consider alterations to ensure a perfect fit. It’s better to invest in alterations to achieve the desired look rather than compromising on comfort and style.

Choosing the perfect bridal designer saree requires careful consideration and planning. By following these essential tips, you can navigate through the process with confidence and find the saree that makes you feel like a radiant bride on your special day.

But, regardless, it is essential to establish the groundwork once and for all, and we can tweak it here and there as we choose. As a result, Mukan Jain, Brand Manager at MARS Cosmetics, discusses the proper order for applying makeup.

step 1: Primer

If you ask experienced makeup artists for their best advice, most will tell you that the key to great makeup is to prep your skin properly. It helps that there’s a primer out there for every type of skin and concern. So whether you’re dealing with oily skin and want to control shine, or your skin is dry and needs more moisture, there’s a primer designed for it. Primers not only make makeup stick better but also make it last longer. So, if you want your makeup to shine throughout the day, primer is your secret weapon.

step 2: Brows and Eyes

While this isn’t a strict rule, there’s a good reason to handle your eye makeup and eyebrows before you get into your complexion products. It’s all about having a solid base to work from. Why? It gives you a safety net. You can fix fallout or mascara mishaps under your eyes without messing up your concealer or foundation, especially if you’ve gone all out on your eye look.

However, you’re not locked into this order – you can totally switch it up and apply your eye makeup after your complexion products if that suits your style better. The key is to kick off with whatever is going to be the star of your look. If it’s all about the eyes, dive into that first.

The exact order you should apply makeup

If you’re focusing on achieving flawless skin, start there. This way, you’ve got more flexibility to perfect that focal point before bringing in the other elements like lips and cheeks. It’s all about making your final look come together seamlessly.

step 3: foundation

Exploring the world of foundations can be overwhelming. How do you find the right one for you? If you want a light, breathable finish, go for a tinted moisturizer or something with a dewy touch. If you’re in the middle, a demi-matte works well. And if you need staying power, full-coverage, matte foundations are your go-to for all-day wear.

Remember, the purpose of the foundation is to create an even base for other makeup. To start, match the shade to your skin tone and desired finish. Test three similar shades on your chest to find the closest one – usually, the face is a bit lighter than the rest of your body due to regular washing.

To apply, use a Beauty Blender for a natural look or a good foundation brush for a smoother finish. Whichever tool you choose, blend the foundation before adding concealer.

step 4: Concealer

First things first, figure out where your face needs a bit more love, then bring in the concealer. Concealers are thicker and meant to tackle stuff like pesky dark circles or stubborn blemishes. To get the best bang for your buck, dab on thin layers and gently tap them onto your skin.

If you’re uncertain about where to apply concealer, the choice largely hinges on your desired outcomes. Opt for lighter shades to brighten the area beneath your eyes, darker patches of skin, or to accentuate the high points of your face. For covering blemishes and acne scars, select a shade that closely matches your skin tone or the shade of your foundation.

step 5: Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter

Now that your base is in place, it’s time to add some depth and dimension to your face. Here’s the order: bronzer first, then blush, and finally highlighter. Start by using bronzer on your cheekbones and temples to give your face definition and a sun-kissed glow. This lays the foundation for sculpting. Next, swipe blush onto the apples of your cheeks, gently blending it outward for a natural flush. Just be careful about mixing different product textures, especially when

it comes to foundation and blush pairings. Putting powder on top of the cream might make things look slightly blotchy. So, if your foundation is creamy, go for a creamy blush. Finally, add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your cheekbones using a smaller brush for a subtle shimmer.

step

6: lips

Lip liner comes first, serving as a boundary to prevent color feathering. For a longer-lasting liner, put it on dry lips before using any lip balm or color. Once your liner is done, apply some hydrating lip balm and then your chosen lip color, whether it’s lipstick or lip gloss. If you’re using both, put on the lipstick before the gloss.

step

7: Translucent Powder and setting spray

To make sure your makeup stays fresh all day, finish up with some setting powder. This step will set your makeup by forming a barrier to soak up any oils your skin may produce during the day. Whether you’re using a foundation powder or a translucent powder, be sure to apply it with a large brush and dust the product over your forehead, cheeks, chin, and nose – that’s your T-zone. If you want an extra layer of protection, you can use a setting spray at this point.

Everything you should know about hair extensions

These magical hair enhancers have the power to transform one’s look, add volume, length, and even provide versatility to hairstyling options. For those curious about hair extensions, understanding the different types, methods, maintenance, and overall benefits is essential to achieve the desired gorgeous mane.

Types of Hair Extensions: There are various types of hair extensions available, each with its own set of characteristics and application techniques. The most common types include:

Clip-In Extensions: Ideal for temporary use, clip-in extensions are the easiest to apply and remove. They come in wefts with clips attached, allowing users to add volume and length instantly without any commitment.

Tape-In Extensions: These extensions involve applying pre-taped wefts to the natural hair using heat. They are semi-permanent and can last up to 6-8 weeks with proper care.

sew-In (weave) Extensions: Hair wefts are sewn into

small braids or cornrows close to the scalp. This method offers a longer-lasting solution but requires professional application and removal.

Micro-link (Micro-Bead) Extensions: Tiny metal or silicone beads are used to attach the extensions to small sections of

natural hair. Micro-link extensions are less damaging and can last several months.

fusion (Pre-Bonded) Extensions: Individual extensions with keratin tips are fused to natural hair using a heat connector tool. This method is durable but should be done by a skilled stylist.

Halo Extensions: A single weft of hair is attached to a wire, creating a “halo” that sits on the head. This option is temporary and easily adjustable.

Application and Maintenance: Proper application and maintenance are crucial to ensure the longevity and health of hair extensions.

Here are some essential tips:

Professional Application: While clip-in extensions can be applied at home, other methods require a skilled

hairstylist to ensure a seamless and natural look.

Regular Maintenance: Depending on the type, hair extensions may require maintenance every 4-8 weeks. Follow the stylist’s advice for touch-ups and adjustments.

Gentle Care: Treat extensions like natural hair, but with extra care. Use sulfate-free and extension-friendly hair products. Brush gently from the tips, working your way up.

Heat styling Caution: Limit the use of heat styling tools to prevent damage. If using heat, apply a heat protectant and avoid high temperatures near the bonds or clips.

Nighttime Care: Braid or tie your hair in a loose ponytail before bedtime to prevent tangling and matting. And if you have clip in extensions, you should remove them before sleeping to prevent any damage.

‘Gadar 2’: Patching an old garment with new cloth

By: Arnab Banerjee

Duration: 170 minutes

Director : Anil Sharma

Cast: Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma

Cinematography: Najeeb Khan

Music: Mithoon Monty Sharma

IANs Rating: **

In a scene from the Sunny Deol-starrer ‘Gadar 2’, a huge hand pump abruptly occupies the entire screen space in the middle of a crucial fight sequence between Indians and Pakistanis.

As the audience bursts out laughing, Deol merely looks at the pump — good enough to let us know he is aware of all those who have invented jokes about him and his special talent for yanking pumps off the ground. No spoilers, but as expected, keep your ear plugs safe if you must endure the high-decibel drama at a theatre.

That, in a way, summarizes the sequel to ‘Gadar 2’, where despite the familiar territory of Pakistan being the enemy country, it is seen sowing seeds of utmost compassion for Indians not once but quite a few times.

‘Gadar 2’ is yet again a period action drama film directed and produced by Anil Sharma, and written by Shaktimaan Talwar. It need not have been a sequel since the plot is precisely the same — that of an Indian crossing the borders and falling in love with a damsel who is, obviously, a Pakistani.

And you guessed it right! There’s blatant and unashamed jingoism, and muscle flexing that stuns the entire army of Pakistan, and the intrepid Indians manoeuvre their way into the bylanes of Lahore without the fear of getting recognized, let alone being attacked by cops, soldiers and other people gunning for them.

Sunny is back in a role that made history with ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’ tying as the biggest money-spinner along with Aamir Khan’s ‘Lagaan’ — and both films were released on the same day, June 15, 2001.

It’s 1971 and Tara Singh (Deol) and Sakina (Ameesha Patel) are seen living peacefully in Punjab with their son Charanjeet (Utkash Sharma), who, much against his father’s wishes, aspires to be a film star. Singh would have none of it and keeps reprimanding his son from time to time, urging him to study hard.

Soon, when Pakistan attacks India, Deol, who as a transporter operates a fleet of trucks, is asked to cart arms and supplies to the Indian soldiers who were caught unawares. The request is made by Lieutenant Colonel Devendra Rawat (Gaurav Chopra), who has tremendous respect for Singh.

In Lahore, meanwhile, Major General Hamid Iqbal (Manish Wadhwa) hasn’t forgiven Tara for destroying their troops singlehandedly earlier. Later, Singh travels back to the same land in the backdrop of the ‘Crush India’ campaign, in what appears to be a personal mission to save his son Charanjeet ‘Jeete’ Singh

who, when his father doesn’t return for three years, is determined to get him back home. He too, like his father, falls for a Pakistani pretty face, Muskaan (Simrat Kaur), and the two swear undying love for each other.

But he is imprisoned and tortured by the Pakistani soldiers under Major General Hamid Iqbal. The fights, the mission, the backdrop and even some of the stars have become familiar faces for all those who would recall the film more than 20 years ago.

If there is something different or fresh in this version, it’s the portrayal of sensitive Pakistanis, both on and off the battlefield, who get tearyeyed imagining an Indian traversing a long distance from India to look for his father.

Or Muskaan’s parents, who in the midst of cross-border tension and brutal attacks, agree to their daughter not sidestepping her love and allow her to navigate through gunfights, bombings and heartless killings of her tribe by two Indians, one of whom is her love interest. All this in the name of love!

Deol’s pagdi is intact as he delivers lines more to check out his lung power, be it in the battlefield, or anywhere else. Even at his home.

Patel, who created a storm in the first part with her innocent looks and pristine beauty, is trying hard to look the same as she did earlier. She doesn’t have much to do, save, to shed copious tears at the drop of a hat. And does she disappoint? Considering she has precious little else to do in this three-hour-long film, she doesn’t!

Utkarsh, who was a child in the earlier version, is all charged up swaying to the beats occasionally. With a slew of gifted actors appearing on the marquee every Friday, he needs to unlearn a lot more if he is serious about a career in films. Najeeb Khan’s photography gives a picture of grime and dust in a frontline combat zone as one would imagine it to look.

And since it has Deol leading the cast, Monty Sharma has no qualms about using ear-splitting sounds at the slightest opportunity whenever the drama on screen ebbs a little or surges.

It seems for any occasion, the extremely artistic composer has only one instruction to follow: blaring cacophony of sounds to complement the over-the-top production!

5 encouraging lines to support an overthinking partner

Relationships are a source of joy, companionship, and shared moments. Yet, they also present challenges, particularly when one partner grapples with overthinking tendencies.

“Overthinking, characterized by persistent and excessive worry, can inflict significant strain on an individual’s mental and emotional well-being. Navigating a partnership with an overthinking companion necessitates a nuanced approach. It hinges upon the ability to extend comfort and assurance, fostering an environment of emotional well-being and relational harmony’, says Archana Singhal, a distinguished Counsellor & Family Therapist.

Singhal who has been affiliated with esteemed institutions like ‘The National Psychological Wellbeing Council’ and ‘The Counsellor Council of India’ outlines a few points that can serve as pillars of strength for your overthinking partner, nurturing a connection rooted in understanding and empathy.

1. “I’m here with you, no matter what” Assurance is a powerful tool when dealing with an overthinking partner. Letting them know that you are there for them unconditionally can provide a sense of security and relief. Begin by expressing your unwavering support: “I want you to remember that I’m here for you, no matter what. We’re in this together.” This reassurance helps your partner feel valued and less alone in their struggles. It reinforces the idea that you are a team, ready to face challenges hand in hand.

2. “let’s focus on what we can control”

Overthinkers often become entangled in a web of hypothetical scenarios and uncertainties. Guide your partner’s thoughts towards a constructive path by gently suggesting, “Instead of dwelling on what might happen, let’s focus on what we can control in this situation.” Encourage them to channel their energy into actionable steps and problem-solving. This shift in perspective empowers your partner to take charge of their thoughts and actions, minimizing the grip of overthinking.

3. “Your feelings are valid” Validation is a key aspect of supporting an overthinking partner. Let them know that their feelings and concerns are acknowledged and respected: “I understand that you’re feeling anxious about this. Your feelings are valid, and I’m here to listen.” By validating their emotions, you create an atmosphere of empathy and understanding. This affirmation helps your partner feel safe in expressing themselves and paves the way for open communication.

4. “let’s take a break and relax together”

Overthinking can lead to mental exhaustion. Propose a moment of respite by saying, “Why don’t we take a break from thinking about this? Let’s do something relaxing together.” Engaging in a calming activity, such as a walk, meditation, or watching a movie, can offer a much-needed pause from overthinking. Sharing this experience demonstrates your commitment to their well-being and provides an opportunity to reconnect.

5. “Remember how far you’ve come” Reminding your partner of their past achievements and successes can be incredibly uplifting. Say, “Think about all the challenges you’ve conquered before. You’ve come so far, and I have no doubt you’ll overcome this too.” Reflecting on past accomplishments instills a sense of confidence and resilience. It reinforces the belief that they possess the strength and ability to navigate difficulties, including overthinking.

Supporting an overthinking partner requires patience, empathy, and effective communication. By using these five encouraging lines, you can create a supportive environment that nurtures your partner’s well-being and strengthens your relationship. Remember, your words have the power to uplift, reassure, and inspire positive change. As you embark on this journey together, you contribute to the growth and emotional connection that define a truly fulfilling partnership.

Breakfast mistakes you should avoid

Breakfast is an important meal because you are literally breaking your fast (8-10 hours minimum) and to get started with the day, your body needs the right fuel.

Eating a balanced breakfast is important as it kick-starts your metabolism, your blood glucose metabolism is much better throughout the day, and it boosts your energy levels and also helps you make better meal choices throughout the day. Breakfast is also given a lot of importance in Ayurveda as that is the time our body’s ‘pitta’ (fire or metabolism) is at its peak.

Sahiba Bhardwaj, a Nutritionist & Nutrition Educator helps us look at some common breakfast mistakes that could hamper our metabolism.

skipping breakfast: Eating late at night or trying a new diet, cutting calories or maybe you simply don’t have the time to eat breakfast. This is the biggest mistake you can make as it will not only dampen your metabolism but also increase your chances of developing health problems like high blood cholesterol, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. But a balanced breakfast can lower those risks and fuel you for the rest of the day.

Bite-sized breakfast: Eating just a fruit or a small bite-sized breakfast will leave you hungry and affect your mental focus. Not eating sufficient calories during the day may leave you munching on unhealthy energy-dense snacks later in the day and may lead to weight gain. However, eating a good filling breakfast fires up your metabolism and helps you burn calories throughout the day.

speedy eating: Sit and eat. We have always heard that but we tend to ignore it. Always in a rush, we

tend to eat fast and take large bites of our food. This as per some studies increases the odds of obesity as it may lead to overeating. Also, as per Ayurveda, when you sit and eat your food, chewing it properly, it improves digestion and absorption of nutrients. So slow down, and savour each bite of your breakfast.

Going low on protein: A protein-packed breakfast has more benefits than just feeding your muscles. Protein takes longer to break down in the body and hence keeps you full for longer. So make sure your Breakfast has good quality protein that is paired with complex carbohydrates and good fats. Eggs, smoked salmon, nut butter, yoghurt, and paneer are all good protein options. Stay clear of processed meat (sausages, salamis, seeks, bacon etc.)

saying no to carbs: Another grave mistake is leaving out carbohydrates completely. You don’t have

to say no to them, just choose wisely. Include Complex Carbs that are slow energy releasing and don’t spike your blood glucose levels and give you energy through the day. Some good ones are steel-cut oats, upma, poha, sandwiches, cheelas with veggies are some options. Avoid loading up on Simple carbs (fruit juices, waffles, pancakes) on a daily basis as they can lead to a sudden dip in energy levels mid-morning

Don’t fear fats and include healthy fats in your breakfast in small portions with your proteins and carbs. Adding avocado or a tablespoon of nut butter to your toast, adding nuts & seeds to your cereal or smoothies, and cooking cheelas in desi ghee are good ways of adding healthy fats. Unsaturated fats and the Omega-3 fatty acids from nuts & flax seeds are good for the heart too.

we have always heard “Eat Breakfast like a king” but in today’s rushed world everyone’s meal timings are scattered, sleep is erratic and they want to look a certain way, cutting calories is affecting their breakfast intake every day!

Jennifer Aniston reveals why she prefers to be single

Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston, who was married to Brad Pitt and dated John Mayer and then got hitched to Justin Theroux in the years since, admitted that she was never excited to pursue adult relationships after seeing her parents divorce.

“It was always a little bit difficult for me in relationships, I think, because I really was kind of alone,” she told WSJ Magazine, reports aceshowbiz.com.

“My parents, watching my family’s relationship, didn’t make me kind of go, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to do that.’ I didn’t like the idea of sacrificing who you were or what you needed, so I didn’t really know how to do that. So it was almost easier to just be kind of solo.”

The former ‘Friends’ star went on to explain that her late parents, who split in 1980 after 15 years of marriage, did not give her any “real training” in the field of finding romance and still to this day, she finds it a “challenge” to be in a relationship.

“So I didn’t have any real training in that giveand-take. It’s just about not being afraid to say what you need and what you want. And it’s still a challenge for me in a relationship. I’m really good at every other job I have, and that’s sort of the one area that’s a little...”

The actress previously explained that watching her parents be “unkind” to each other when she was growing up had put her off experiencing a relationship but insisted that does not hold any resentment towards her mother or father.

She told Interview magazine: “I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other, and witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think, ‘I don’t want to do that.’”

“I don’t want to be that. I don’t want to experience this feeling I’m having in my body right now. I don’t want anyone else that I ever come in contact with ever to feel that. So I guess I have my parents to thank. You can either be angry or be a martyr, or you can say, ‘You’ve got lemons? Let’s make lemonade.’” By: IANS

Lady Gaga reflects on her struggle as ‘incredibly insecure’ teen S

inger-actress

Lady Gaga has become known for having sported a series of extravagant looks over the course of her career but she said that she was not always as confident as a teenager and explained how exploring with beauty has become a “healing practice” for her.

“It has been a healing practice for me since I was really young. I was incredibly insecure when I was a teenager, and when I graduated high school and went off on my own, I discovered that makeup had the power to transform who I was,” she told E! News, reports acehowbiz.com.

“I realized that I had more of an ability to speak up for myself. And it had more to do with how I felt and not how I looked. I always say that because I think every-

body’s makeup style is unique to them. With Haus Labs, I want people to know this is not about trying to look like me. This is about looking like you.”

The ‘Telephone’ hitmaker also explained that as soon as others start worrying about what others want to see them look like is when a “complicated relationship” with beauty can begin as he urged them to “trust their instincts” and be themselves.

“Trust yourself! Whatever inspiration is coming your way, whatever feeling you’re having, just trust your instincts. Because when you stop trusting your instincts and you start thinking about what other people want, that’s when the relationship with beauty can be complicated,” she added.

Nushrratt Bharuccha: Didn’t know I could do so much acting

she has given several memorable characters such as Neha and Cheeku from the ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ franchise, Sweety from ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, Mahi from ‘Dream Girl’ and Sakshi from ‘Chhorii’. Actress Nushrratt Bharuccha, who is now gearing up to essay the role of Jyoti in ‘Akelli’, says she never knew she could do so much acting or different roles.

In a conversation with IANS, Nushrratt spoke about playing such roles and making a mark with them. But when she started off, she did not know she could do so much.

The actress said: “When I started I did not know I could do so much acting. I never knew I could do different roles. I started with what was given to me, I read it and tried to have fun with it and do it in a different way.”

“Then I got another script. I tried the same thing and I achieved something. When I can’t achieve it, I rely a lot on my director and I take advice from them.”

Nushrratt said that in order to make her characters stand out she tries different things only if required. “Awaz change karun, chaal badlun, look change karun to add that little bit of nuance to the quirk if it is needed. If it’s not needed I am happy to play a normal girl.”

“But karte karte and enjoy karte I have just explored a wider world of films and characters which I had not thought of. It has been my discovery that it just happened,” she shared.

In ‘Akelli’, Nushrratt plays an “ordinary Indian girl” trapped in a combat zone.

The thriller drama film is directed by Pranay Meshram.

All you need to know about rabies protocols

Primarily, it is carried within wildlife, especially bats, and then can be transferred to your pet during an encounter, where bites or wounds take place and saliva enters the site of impact. Similarly, if an infected animal were to bite a human, it would give precedent for possible rabies infection spread.

The most common physical signs that your dog or cat may display is behavior change and increased vocalization. This means that your pet may show excessive aggressiveness, hiding constantly, irritability and even extreme excitability. Your furry companion may show lameness in their gait. Depending on each animal, these signs could present themselves as very acute and quick to take place, or they could also take their time and progressively

develop over a period. Classically, there are two main forms of this disease that are known to present within the patient. The first form is called the ‘Dumb Form’. In this, the patient mainly presents with salivating from the mouth excessively and may find it difficult to swallow in general. The second form is called the ‘Furious Form”. This form presents more behavioral issues of being very anxious and aggressive. These animals may also experience seizures and unfortunately, become paralyzed in the process.

Typically, if any animal is suspected to have Rabies, the ideal and standard method of diagnosing includes testing the brain and sending it to a laboratory for confirmed analysis. However, there are many different protocols set in place for different case scenarios for

certain animals or pets that have been potentially exposed. If your pet is unvaccinated and has seemed to encounter this disease, the options are plain and simple. Depending on if any symptoms are present and the condition of the animal, either legally it will be euthanized and a brain sample will be sent for testing, or your pet will be placed in a quarantine situation for four months. However, they will be given a rabies vaccination upon their entry into this quarantine period. If your pet is fully vaccinated with the Rabies vaccine and is up to date with its current one, then a booster rabies vaccination will be administered right away, and the owner will be responsible for keeping their pet in quarantine and strict observation for up to 45 days. Any pets that have taken the rabies vaccine before, however are now overdue for their current one during a situation like this, will need to show proof of such from their owners. Once proof of vaccination has been presented, the animal will receive a booster Rabies vaccination and again be kept under strict quarantine and observation by their owner for 45 days.

Protocols also extend towards animals who may be exposed and have bitten humans. If that dog or cat is overall very healthy, whether it has received a rabies vaccine prior or not, legally it will need to be quarantined for 10 days. The 10-day

mark is important, as it is the average time in which aggressive signs of rabies in animals may present themselves. However, this healthy animal at the time will not receive any rabies vaccine. This incident will legally be reported to the local health department once any new symptoms, indicating Rabies, have taken place. If symptoms do arise, then euthanasia and a brain sample submission will be given. If the animal that bit the human is a stray or unwanted dog or cat, then immediate euthanasia and rabies testing will occur.

We highly recommend that it is very important to always keep track of your pet’s vaccination status and have them up to date on all their vaccines. Unfortunately, in situations like this, the biggest regret that most pet owners will experience is not being up to date on their pet’s rabies vaccination and thus having the animal suffer the consequences.

expert advise to manage anger in kids

There is a saying, “We become parents and realize our triggers due to childhood trauma. And while we learn to heal and navigate through it we give some trauma to our kids again”.

Anger is one such emotion we learn to manage through our parents and surroundings and our kids learn to manage their anger from our reactions and words.

We need to drill this in our heads and heart, “Kids are through us and not for us”. Kids give us an amazing opportunity to see how a baby (blank slate) is evolving as an emotionally and intellectually smart being. Change is a natural and irresistible process. We cannot stop it but we can definitely control it.

This is true for everything, yes even when it comes to raising kids. Kids can be molded and outcomes can be controlled.

Kids experience every emotion that we experience as an adult, happiness, sadness, anxiety, frustration, violence, love, empathy, etc. it’s human to feel all emotions there is no such thing as negative or positive emotion when we deal with all emotions mindfully.

As an adult, we have developed a method of coping up with each emotion. The factors that determine how we deal with any motions are: How you were guided to handle that emotion until the age of 5. How you were treated for expressing that emotion.

Influence from the people around you and society.

As a child, if you were guided to speak out whenever you need help, as an adult you will be ok in asking for help.

As a child, if you were shamed

for asking for help with things you do not know or cannot do, you will feel shameful every time you have to seek help.

As a child, if you have seen your parents not accepting help from others you will burn out but never accept help.

So it all narrows down to how mindful we are or what we try to be while feeling, communicating, and reacting emotionally. Anger is one such emotion when handled mindfully can be resourceful to kids, it can help them understand their own shortcomings and help them grow and achieve great things in life. So what can be done to help kids navigate through anger or what factors should be

taken care of to raise mindfully aware kids for the emotion of anger?

Terms used frequently (oM: old method, MM: mindful method) Identify your own emotion and label the feeling correctly in front of the child:

oM: When an adult feels anger, there is an automated response saved(coping mechanism for each feeling) and without realizing the adult would react that way, either shout or scream or hit.

MM: When an adult feels anger, he can communicate to a child in these words. I am just feeling angry right now and do not want to react to it, can we speak

after some time? Or I am feeling angry and might burst out in emotions. Please excuse me and just leave the room till you calm down.

This will help the child identify the emotion and when he feels similar it will be easier for the child to express. The child understands what is happening with the adult and will model this behavior as a kid and also when he becomes an adult.

Detach the feeling from the person, scenario, or event:

oM: I am angry because you did XYZ because you never listen because you are screaming.

MM: I am feeling angry due to my emotional vulnerability and not because the person, scenario, or event is bad. Yes in some cases it will be bad but learn to detach from the person, scenario, and event and calm yourself and then see what can be done to solve it.

Kids have breakdowns, and tantrums because they are navigating hard feelings and in that moment all they need is a calm parent to help them navigate through the storm.

Hence anger in kids can be managed only by managing emotions in adults. But there are certain psychological conditions when kids cannot manage or navigate their emotions even after the parents try to be mindful and monitor the surroundings. We see such conditions often in the clinic under the diagnosis of autism and homeopathy with counseling has worked wonderfully in calming the nerves without giving any numbing effects of high quantity chemically loaded drugs. And this is therefore the future of psychology and medicine.

By: Ummekulsum Baghwala

anger is merely an emotion and kids do get every emotion, and as adults how we help them navigate through each emotion can make a huge difference.
