Zomato 'Kachra' ad: Food delivery app receives backlash for being insensitive 

Food delivery app Zomato deletes &lsquo;Kachra&rsquo; advertsiemnt after facing backlash from social media users.&nbsp;

It doesn&rsquo;t matter whether we call it Zomato or Zommaato. What matters is what the brand wanted to project through its ad.
Recently, the food delivery brand released an ad showcasing the character &lsquo;Kachra&rsquo; from the film Lagaan who was shown belonging to a lower caste. In the commercial, Zomato used the same character played by the same actor in the movie, Aditya Lakhia.&nbsp;
Even though it intended to spread the message that any kind of garbage at home, office or any space can be recycled, the literal representation of a person or a lower caste character from a movie as garbage didn't go well with the consumers.
The advertisement was later deleted as it received an immense amount of backlash online. According to social media users, it was completely insensitive on Zomato&rsquo;s part.

Gamers are finding dent in head and are blaming it on headphones; can headset cause indent, know about it

Gamers are sharing photos and videos of dents on their heads which has left the internet worried. Let's find out whether excessive use of headphones are causing them or not.

Pictures and videos of gamers discovering dents on their heads are going viral on the internet. They are saying that the indent is caused by the excessive use of headphones.
However, a study about headphones causing indent is suggesting otherwise. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, headphones cannot cause dents on the head as it takes at least 135 kg to cause a minor fracture to the skull.
The study also mentioned that headphones cannot cause dents and even if they do it would be so minor that it will vanish on their own.&nbsp;
Excessive use of headphones might not cause dents but it can definitely cause permanent hearing loss, as per the study.&nbsp;

A new study suggests that your friends and family may be the hurdle to your weight loss journey. Keep watching to find out!&nbsp;

Be careful, your friends and family might be making you fat!
A new study has suggested that efforts to lose weight can be influenced positively or negatively by the people closest to you.
Conducted by the University of Surrey, researchers identified three factors affecting a person's weight loss journey - sabotaging, which means intentionally undermining another person&rsquo;s weight goals, collusion, or discouraging people from switching to a healthier diet or working out, and feeding, that is overfeeding even when the dieter says they are not hungry.&nbsp;
As per researchers, support from loved ones can be an invaluable tool in helping people achieve their weight goals. However, sometimes people who are closest to the dieter thwart their efforts by tempting them with unhealthy food.

Sound artists are making music from mushrooms, fruits and other plants; know all about how they do it and what it sounds like.

From Stella McCartney's fashion show to reels, plant music is giving people a 'trip'

Sound artists are making music from mushrooms, fruits and other plants; know all about how they do it and what it sounds like.

Mushrooms, flowers, and fruits are the latest trippy things and people are getting high and tripping over them.
No, we are not talking about any kind of drug but the eclectic sounds of plants that people are vibing on these days. Sound engineers and musicians are reconnecting people with nature by sharing videos of how plants sound when they are connected to a sound wire.&nbsp;
Well, if this was not clear enough for you then these videos created by sound artists and musicians will explain it much better:
<h3>How is music created through plants?</h3>
Musicians plug cables into mushrooms and other kinds of plants to make people listen to the sounds from them. Sound technicians use a kind of device to derive the bioelectricity from the plants and it slowly changes the synth.&nbsp;
Recently, Tarun Nayar, an electronic artist and also a former biologist is garnering huge number of views on his videos where he can be seen making 'organismic music' with the help of plants.&nbsp;
While speaking with The Guardian, Nayar said that this music is created by connecting electrodes and modular synthesisers to plants and measuring their bioelectrical energy.&nbsp;
He further said that this is an environmental feedback mechanism. It&rsquo;s based on galvanic resistance &ndash; the same principle by which simple lie detectors work.
Other than him, artists like Noah Kalos who is popularly known as MycoLyco also makes music using the same technique. He even made music from Mushroom for Stella McCartney's summer 2022 show.&nbsp;
Moreover, plant music artists not just share similar love for music derived from plants but they also agree that these soundscapes might help bring people closer to nature.

Eating the right foods and adopting other lifestyle behaviours that promote healthy blood sugar and insulin levels will give you the best chance at avoiding diabetes.

It's never too late to start! Harvard Medical experts share Diabetes prevention tips 

Changing your lifestyle could be a big step toward diabetes prevention and it's never too late to start. Consider these tips to prevent diabetes. 

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas do not produce enough insulin
Raised blood sugar&nbsp;is a consequence of uncontrolled diabetes
Being active and eating a healthy diet&nbsp;can help prevent diabetes
ADA recommends prediabetes people to&nbsp;lose 7% to 10% of their body weight
Try to get at least&nbsp;30 minutes of physical activity&nbsp;5 days a week
Diet should include smaller portions along with&nbsp;less fat and sugar
Limit red and processed meat&nbsp;and opt for fish instead
High levels of nicotine&nbsp;decrease the effectiveness of insulin
&nbsp;

Keeping weight in check, being active and eating a healthy diet can help prevent most cases of diabetes.

Diabetes is a chronic health condition that may require lifelong treatment. It occurs either when the pancreas do not produce enough insulin (the hormone that regulates blood sugar) or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Raised blood sugar is a consequence of uncontrolled diabetes and if left untreated it can cause serious health conditions.

Eating the right foods and adopting other&nbsp;lifestyle behaviours that promote healthy blood sugar and insulin levels will give you the best chance at avoiding diabetes. Here are some ways to lower your risk of diabetes, as suggested by Harvard Medical experts.
Manage your weight
Excess fat promotes inflammation and insulin resistance, which significantly increases the risk of diabetes. The American Diabetes Association recommends that people with prediabetes should lose at least 7% to 10% of their body weight to prevent disease progression.
Stay active
Performing physical activity on a regular basis may help prevent diabetes. Working your muscles more often and making them work harder improves their ability to use insulin and absorb glucose. Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week.
Tune-up your diet
Dietary changes can have a huge impact on the risk of diabetes. Your diet should include smaller portions along with less fat and sugar. Eat a variety of foods from each food group, including plenty of whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Limit red and processed meat and opt for fish instead.
Quit smoking
Do you know smokers are roughly 50 percent more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers? According to the U.S.&nbsp;FDA, smoking makes managing the disease and regulating insulin levels more difficult. The high levels of nicotine decrease the effectiveness of insulin, causing smokers to need more insulin to regulate blood sugar levels.

Pride Month: Difference between Cisgender and Agender; know all about it

The world is currently celebrating Pride Month. However, people still aren't aware much about gender and sex, so let's understand the difference between cisgender and agender.&nbsp;

When it comes to gender, sex and gender assigned by birth, there is still confusion among people regarding the terms and their meanings. So, let's understand the difference between cisgender and agender.
Cisgender
Cisgender is a term that is used to define people whose gender identity matches the gender that they were assigned at birth.
Agender
Agender is a term that is used to define people who do not belong to any gender and neither do they associate with the gender they were assigned at birth.&nbsp;
It is also worth taking a note that gender and gender expression are two different things and a person can be cisgender or agender but their gender expressions can be different.&nbsp;
