1 in 3 children have dangerous levels of lead in their blood: UNICEF

New research has found that nearly one in three children across the world have high levels of lead in their bloodstream.&nbsp;
The study carried out by&nbsp;UNICEF and environmental group Pure Earth blamed increasing levels of lead pollution and says that the&nbsp;levels are high enough to impair the development of brains, nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs.&nbsp;800 million children had lead levels of 5 micrograms per deciliter or higher in their bloodstream. The WHO and US CDC&nbsp;called the findings 'cause for action.'
The report cites inadequate battery recycling and open-air smelters among the lead polluters.&nbsp;Lead-acid batteries could be a key culprit, with nearly 85% of the lead used worldwide going into their production, the report added.&nbsp;

The season of extended, leisurely afternoons, summer has some haters but most&nbsp;people love&nbsp;summer for its abundant&nbsp;sunshine&nbsp;and juicy fruits.&nbsp;No matter what side you&rsquo;re on, it is hard to ignore the fact that our body has very different needs in the hotter months.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As more and more people get accustomed to air conditioning, the body&rsquo;s natural capabilities to cool down have taken a toll. But following an Ayurvedic lifestyle and just updating your diet with the season&nbsp;can make a huge difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Take note of these tips to feel good this summer and embrace any adventures that the season may bring in your life!
HYDRATE BETTER!
We all know the importance of hydration in summer but according to Ayurveda, it is essential to drink your water at room temperature.&nbsp;Avoid icy-cold drinks and beverages that are caffeinated, carbonated or high in added sugar.&nbsp;&nbsp;
To keep your cool, drink buttermilk, coconut water&nbsp;and fruit juices&nbsp;without any&nbsp;added sugar.&nbsp;
PRACTICE&nbsp;COOLING YOGA&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is important to exercise every day but it may be a good idea to get done with&nbsp;your workout&nbsp;early&nbsp;morning before the sun gets too bright or do it after sunset.&nbsp;
You can also add some cooling&nbsp;yogasanas&nbsp;to your routine. Practice&nbsp;sheetali&nbsp;pranayama or cooling breath at least once a day to cool your body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
AVOID SPICY &amp; OILY FOOD
Avoid foods that will make your body produce more heat. Reduce your intake of spicy food and chillies. Summer is also a bad time to eat oily or fermented foods. So cut down on&nbsp;pickles and stale foods.&nbsp;&nbsp;
EAT RAW&nbsp;&nbsp;
What you can eat a lot of are raw fruits and vegetables. Enjoy summer fruits including watermelon, peaches, plums, mangoes,&nbsp;pears and avocados.&nbsp;A great way to eat raw food is to whip up delicious salads. Add veggies like&nbsp;asparagus, cucumber, cabbage, sweet potato and celery and garnish with cool herbs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
UPDATE YOUR SLEEP TIME&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lastly, you can change your bedtime in summer. As the sun sets much later, it is okay to sleep at 11 pm in the summer.&nbsp;Instead of forcing yourself to stay awake even as the sun tires you out, try to embrace daytime napping in the summer. A relaxing 30-minute nap during the day can do wonders for your energy levels.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Understanding the values behind Ayurvedic principles makes you better equipped to implement these changes in your life. Keep learning to keep improving!&nbsp;

Navratri is one of the most auspicious festivals in India. During the nine-day festival, many people fast to detox. Fasting not only enhances the digestive capacity of one&rsquo;s body but also ensures that the harmful toxins are flushed out.
So, if you are planning to fast this Navratri, we have got you covered. These are some amazing diet tips for Navratri fasting that will help you shed those extra kilos.
Keep yourself hydrated
Water is the best way to fight hunger pangs. It keeps you hydrated, and energetic all day long. Instead of drinking plain water, add lemon water, coconut water or buttermilk to your diet plan.
Don't miss seasonal fruits
Navratri is incomplete without seasonal fruits. Mangoes, grapes or even bananas in the form of salads, smoothies, fruit juices and raitas will keep you full all day long.
Reduce caffeine intake
Caffeine causes dehydration and leads to more food cravings. So replace coffee and aerated&nbsp;drinks with healthy drinks like green tea, tulsi or lemon tea.
Go for samak rice
Since we are skipping whole wheat flour, it is important to make sure the body gets its dose of fibre. For this, samak rice is the best because it is loaded with a high amount of fibre and essential minerals like iron and magnesium.&nbsp;
Avoid packaged and fried food
Instead of having fried or oily food such as pakoras, consume homemade healthy snacks and dry fruits, which are rich in calcium, potassium and zinc.
So use this Navratri as an excuse to achieve your fitness goals.

A latest study done by British scientists found that the active psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms is as effective as an antidepressant drug and can really help patients suffering&nbsp;from depression.&nbsp;
The research involved 59 patients with moderate to severe depression who got doses of&nbsp;psilocybin and antidepressant medicine&nbsp;escitalopram.
The latest study was conducted under specific controlled conditions with two therapists and a regulated dose formulated in laboratory conditions.&nbsp;It is advised that patients with depression should not try to self-medicate with magic mushrooms.

So now the question on everybody's&nbsp;mind is -&nbsp;how effective will the magic mushrooms' active compound be?

We are well aware of the fact that our society neglects mental health illnesses and usually pushes conversations surrounding mental health under the carpet. Also, there is no test or scientific formula to discover these illnesses within people.&nbsp;
Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Indiana made history. For the last four years, these researchers were working on how precision medicine could change the lengthy process of getting a mental health diagnosis.
The research team worked with more than 300 participants, logging their blood biomarkers. For those who are not aware, blood biomarkers are characteristics in the blood, which can be read almost like signs into the health of a human.
Now, the team believes they know how to use these&nbsp;to read a patient for depression and bipolar disorder. It can also give highly specific advice about what kind of treatment would work best for that individual.
We're eagerly waiting for this to be implemented as this has the potential to revolutionise diagnoses related to mental health.

We have&nbsp;all heard of the term Lactose intolerance, it happens when a person's body is not able to digest milk products. For those who are not aware, Lactose is a sugar found only in milk. It is also present in other dairy products, including cheese and ice cream.
If a person is lactose intolerant, their digestive system produces too little of an enzyme known as lactase, which is required to break down lactose. People with lactose intolerance experience symptoms like bloating, nausea and diarrhoea&nbsp;after consuming dairy products.
In this condition, non-dairy milk is the best option for you. If you're planning to add the same to your diet, these are some of the healthiest substitutes you can go for.
1. Almond Milk
Almond milk is a good alternative for dairy products. It is a low-calorie, highly nutritious milk. Almond Milk is also a great choice if you are trying to lose weight.
2. Coconut Milk

3. Soy Milk

4. Oat Milk
Oat milk is simply prepared by mixing oats with water. It is good for your heart health as it helps in controlling bad cholesterol. It has a slightly sweet taste with a creamy and smooth texture
5. Rice Milk
Rice milk has a mild sweet taste. It is a good alternative for those who are lactose intolerant. It contains more carbs as compared to other non-dairy milk.
While there is no cure for lactose intolerance, people can avoid the repercussions&nbsp;by not consuming milk products or by taking lactase enzymes.

Gone are the days of simply &lsquo;eating healthy.&rsquo; Today if you want to get fit, there&rsquo;s a lot more to it than just eating less and being&nbsp;more&nbsp;active. We have seen many diet trends come and go, but let&rsquo;s take a look at some that are still popular amongst people from all age groups.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
With its emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, and other healthy fares,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Mediterranean&nbsp;diet&nbsp;is said to be the most sensible diet.&nbsp;For those who don&rsquo;t know, this diet is based on traditional foods that people used to eat in countries like Italy and Greece back in&nbsp;the&nbsp;1960s.&nbsp;
This diet&nbsp;contains&nbsp;the accepted&nbsp;amount&nbsp;of protein, carbs, fat, and other nutrients&nbsp;that one requires. For best results, one must exercise daily&nbsp;along&nbsp;with following this diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We have all heard of Keto&nbsp;- a low carb, high-fat diet. It not only helps you lose weight but is said to increase your energy levels. The drastic reduction of carbohydrate intake puts your body into a metabolic state called&nbsp;&lsquo;ketosis.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
People following the&nbsp;Keto diet can also check whether they're in ketosis with the help of Ketone strips which are available online.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Intermittent fasting is&nbsp;an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating which is most popular amongst&nbsp;millennials and gen&nbsp;Z. The best part about intermittent fasting is that there is no particular diet chart one has to follow&nbsp;but one is allowed to eat meals only within a set time frame. Exercising while following Intermittent fasting will supposedly help you lose weight faster.&nbsp;
As we all know, diets are not one-size-fits-all, what works for one person may not work for another.&nbsp;So&nbsp;it's best to figure out your individual weight loss goals and nutrition priorities&nbsp;and then go forward&nbsp;with the same.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

According to a new study published in the journal Circulation, scientists have found that the heart shrinks in space.
The study analysed the heart of Scott Kelly, who spent almost a year in the International Space Station between 2015 and 2016. Researchers found that the largest chamber of his heart shrank by over a quarter by the time he returned to Earth.&nbsp;
Astronauts also tend to develop brittle bones, swelled heads and squashed eyeballs.
The heart does not pump as hard due to the lack of pull of gravity and thus becomes unfit.&nbsp;
