Women need more sleep than men!
Yes, science is backing up this claim.
It was found in the study done by the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University.&nbsp;
Accroding to the study, women need 20 minutes more of sleep time than men because their brain works harder.
The study explains that this happens because women are better at doing multiple tasks simultaneously.&nbsp;
Some studies also suggest that women are 40% more likely to have insomnia than men as they are more sensitive to sound than men, which ends up interrupting their sleep.
Another reason backed by science to prove that women need more sleep than men.

WHO also says that air pollution is the cause behind seven million deaths all across the globe each year, which is more than the number of deaths caused due to COVID-19. Air pollution-related health costs are projected to be $ 8.1 trillion annually, or 6.1 per cent of the world&rsquo;s GDP.&nbsp;
A recent study by the Jaslok-Fertile Tree International Centre with IIT Mumbai revealed secondary metabolites of phthalates were derived from plastic products in the ovarian follicles of infertile women. A global decrease in sperm count is also being caused due to air pollutants.&nbsp;
According to another study about 90 per cent of children worldwide spend their early years inhaling poisonous air, causing long term health issues as they grow older. &nbsp;

People generally switch to rock salt commonly known as sendha namak during fasting. But it is also beneficial for many other health issues including high blood pressure and diabetes.
<h3>Keeps sodium levels in check</h3>
Like too much sodium, too low sodium is equally unhealthy. So, consuming even a small amount of rock salt with meals balances level of sodium in our body.
<h3>Provides electrolytes</h3>
Fasting might cause electrolyte imbalance in the body causing cramps and weakness. As sendha namak contains various electrolytes, it may help relieve such health issues.
<h3>Helps in digestion</h3>
According to Ayurveda, sendha namak helps with digestive issues like bloating, indigestion and gastric problems caused due to fasting.
<h3>Treats sore throat</h3>
Gargling with rock salt soothes pain and soreness in throat. Studies have proven it effective and is recommended by organizations like the American Cancer Society.

Ramadan is considered to be a holy month and is the ninth month in the Muslim Lunar calendar. These tips will help you stay healthy during the month long fasting.

Ramadan 2023: Important tips to be followed for a healthy month long fasting 

Ramadan is considered to be a holy month and is the ninth month in the Muslim Lunar calendar. These tips will help you stay healthy during the month long fasting.

The Holy month of Ramadan is beginning on March 22 and will continue for a month. Devotees observe long day fasts and are allowed to have food and water only before sunrise and after sunset.&nbsp;
Fasting all day naturally makes you feel tired and hungry. So, it is important to first replenish the lost liquids instead of consuming food that might cause bloating.
<h3>Essential fasting tips to be kept in mind:</h3>
Sehri or pre-dawn meal&nbsp;
It is important to consume food that will quench your thirst. Cucumber, zucchini, buttermilk, curd, melon and banana will keep you full and energetic for longer. Include complex carbohydrates in your meal like oats, jowar, ragi, sugar-free muesli along with whole wheat.&nbsp;
Iftar meal&nbsp;
The first meal after a long day of fasting should be kept light. One should consume something which provides instant electrolytes and raises sugar levels. The best way to cure dehydration is to break your fast with coconut water, ORS or salt and sugar water. &nbsp;
Dinner meal&nbsp;
For your main course consume a lot of carbs, proteins and high fibre vegetables. Carbs could be in the form of sweet potato or rice or even millets. Get your daily dose of protein from meat, chicken, fish or dal.&nbsp;
What to avoid&nbsp;
Avoid sugar, desserts, fruit juices and aerated drinks as they will leave you with cravings and low energy levels, making it difficult to fast again the very next day.

Chaitra Navratri 2023: Diabetics must keep these in mind while fasting

Many devotees fast for all the nine days of Navratri. But if you are a diabetic, know the things you must keep in mind while fasting.&nbsp;

Chaitra Navratri is going to begin on March 22 this year and will end on March 30. Many devotees fast for all the nine days but diabetic patients must keep some important things in mind while fasting.&nbsp; &nbsp; Keep checking blood sugar level to stay healthy during Navratri. Include the right amount of carbs, fiber and protein in your diet and get enough sleep.&nbsp; Buckwheat or Singhada flour eaten during fasting is a healthy option, but instead of having deep fried pooris or pakodas, make bread out of it and eat it with curd as deep fried food increases sugar level.&nbsp; &nbsp; Diabetic patients can eat khichdi or kheer made of Sama rice. Ash gourd (petha) or white pumpkin can also be eaten during fasting but do not add jaggery to it.&nbsp;

Since childhood, we've been told to make our beds as soon as we get up. But according to experts, it might be the worst habit. We'll tell you why.

Here's why you shouldn't make your bed first thing in the morning

Do not make your bed first thing in the morning, here's the reason why 

Since childhood, we've been told to make our beds as soon as we get up. But according to experts, it might be the worst habit. We'll tell you why.

For most people, making bed first thing in the morning is a part of their daily routine. But apparently, we shouldn&rsquo;t be doing it as soon we get up.&nbsp;
We not only sweat when we are asleep but also shed skin, which is a magnet for dust mites &amp; bed bugs. A study conducted by Kingston University suggests that by making our bed first thing every morning, we are trapping all the damp air and helping dust mites/ bed bugs breed.&nbsp;
Hence, experts recommend airing our bed for at least an hour every day and if we don&rsquo;t have that much time before heading to work, we can do it when we get back.&nbsp;

Summers are here and with the change in season, the time has come to take care of your health and skin. It is recommended&nbsp; to consume water-rich food like cucumber. Cucumber has several benefits, not only for health but also for skin.&nbsp;
Cucumber consists of 95 per cent water, so it helps fulfil the requirement of water in our body. It is also rich in fibre, magnesium and potassium, due to which one's blood pressure remains under control.
Moreover, cucumbers should be eaten with peel as the fibre present in them helps in better digestion and also provides relief from constipation. &nbsp;
