Almonds may be the key to better skin for some women: study

Daily consumption of almonds may help reduce the severity of facial wrinkles and skin pigmentation in post-menopausal women with a skin condition, a study claims.
The research, published in the journal&nbsp;Nutrients, confirms and expands on a 2019 study that found that a daily snack of almonds in place of other nut-free snacks improved measures of wrinkle width and severity in postmenopausal women.
The researchers saw a statistically significant reduction in wrinkle severity in the group consuming almonds, finding that at 16 weeks, there was a reduction of 15 per cent and at 24 weeks, a reduction of 16 per cent.&nbsp;

The first few years of a baby&rsquo;s life are crucial to the development of their immune systems.&nbsp;In particular, the first 5 years of life are pivotal in shaping one&rsquo;s immunity and this is why it is all the more important to provide the right kind of nutrition from a young age.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While it is important to introduce new flavours and textures to your little one&rsquo;s tongue, there are some seemingly simple food groups that could prove to be dangerous for young children.&nbsp;&nbsp;
First up on our list is salt! Babies don&rsquo;t need to consume much salt and&nbsp;their kidneys are just not ready for it.&nbsp;The NHS UK advises that if you&rsquo;re feeding your baby the same food that you eat then avoid bacon, crackers,&nbsp;chips and&nbsp;packaged or ready to eat meals.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sugar is another food group that little ones don't really need.&nbsp;So,&nbsp;avoid sugary&nbsp;snacks,&nbsp;drinks&nbsp;and treats.&nbsp;Studies show that eating&nbsp;super sweet&nbsp;foods throughout&nbsp;childhood, especially before the age of two,&nbsp;can lead to preventable diseases, such as&nbsp;heart disease,&nbsp;obesity&nbsp;and high blood pressure&nbsp;later on in life.&nbsp;
You should also avoid giving any form of honey to the baby until the age of one.&nbsp;Occasionally, honey may contain certain bacteria&nbsp;that can secrete toxins into the baby&rsquo;s intestines and cause infant botulism.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Citrus fruits&nbsp;are&nbsp;another food group that is best avoided. These tangy fruits and juices are loaded with vitamin C and are acidic in nature.&nbsp;These may cause acid reflux and stomach troubles in babies younger than two months.
When it comes to nuts and seeds, everyone agrees that they can be a choking hazard and should be strictly avoided until the age of five. But nut butters are where things get interesting. Studies have&nbsp;shown that introducing a tiny amount of peanut butter in your kid&rsquo;s diet may&nbsp;help&nbsp;prevent peanut allergies.
While the science is clear on most of these facts, it is best to consult your doctor before making sudden changes in your baby&rsquo;s diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Most of us know that unhealthy snacking late at night can lead to bloating and other health problems. Now, researchers have found that the practice can hamper your performance at work as well!&nbsp;
A study by US scientists shows that late-night binging can make a person less helpful and more withdrawn at work the very next day.&nbsp;
"For the first time, we have shown that healthy eating immediately affects our workplace behaviours and performance," the lead author of the study exclaims.&nbsp;
For the study, unhealthy eating was defined as indulging in junk foods, drinking alcohol late at night or overeating close to bedtime. Interestingly,&nbsp;when people reported unhealthy eating, they were also more likely to report emotional strains the next morning - such as feeling guilty or ashamed about their diet choices.
While their study focused on only evening diets, the researchers say it would be intriguing to study how other elements of diet such as sugar or caffeine, will impact productivity at work.&nbsp;

Indian cuisine goes heavy on local spices and&nbsp;our dishes are not just tasty but also loaded with many health benefits. Indian spices attract global trade and for good reason.&nbsp;Spices, in particular, have piqued the curiosity of many international and local researchers as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are five such spices that scientists suggest may help you achieve your weight loss goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;
TURMERIC
A bright, yellow spice, turmeric is&nbsp;known&nbsp;for its antiseptic and medicinal properties. According to various studies, the&nbsp;curcumin&nbsp;in turmeric has been shown to&nbsp;boost fat loss, increase body heat and boost metabolism.
CINNAMON
Known as the holiday spice, a little bit of cinnamon can go a long way. Research shows that cinnamon may help balance sugar, reduce hunger pangs and keep you full for longer.&nbsp;Add cinnamon to your spice rub and sprinkle a little over your coffee to reap its benefits.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FENNEL SEEDS
A natural diuretic, fennel seeds are also great for people trying to lose weight. Chewing on some&nbsp;fennel seeds after your meal can help keep your digestive health in check.&nbsp;
CAYENNE PEPPER&nbsp;&nbsp;
The hot and spicy Cayenne pepper is rich in capsaicin. The chemical is known to&nbsp;have fat-burning properties and some studies also show that it may lower bad cholesterol levels.&nbsp;
CUMIN
Cumin is a staple in many Indian curries. A 2015 study found that just one&nbsp;spoon of cumin powder helped&nbsp;burn up to three times more body fat amongst a group of overweight women.&nbsp;The spice is also rich in natural antioxidants and has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While there is no quick-fix solution for weight loss, incorporating these spices in your diet will definitely help you on your fitness journey.

We often talk about finding the silver lining but when it comes to India&rsquo;s favourite metal...no one can deny our love for luminous gold.&nbsp;From&nbsp;kaju&nbsp;katli&nbsp;to&nbsp;gujia, silver-coated sweetmeats are already a common fare in the country, but now our&nbsp;obsession with gold has transcended to the culinary world as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
A certain&nbsp;paan&nbsp;shop in Delhi has even gone viral on social media for its&nbsp;rafaello&nbsp;gold&nbsp;paan&nbsp;that is being sold for 600 rupees.&nbsp;Yamu&rsquo;s&nbsp;Panchayat&nbsp;loads the&nbsp;paan&nbsp;with the traditional&nbsp;chuna, fennel seeds and of course,&nbsp;gulkand. But the hero is its wrapping of&nbsp;&lsquo;pure gold&rsquo;&nbsp;varq&nbsp;and a chocolate topping.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But this is far from the first eatery to experiment with gold-plated food.&nbsp;
In Dubai, the home of gold lovers, a hotel actually sells gold-plated coffee!&nbsp;Named &lsquo;The Ultimate Gold Cappuccino&rsquo;,&nbsp;it&nbsp;is served at the&nbsp;Burj Al Arab&nbsp;Jumeirah hotel for $26 or nearly 2,000 rupees.&nbsp;Laced with 24-karat gold, the&nbsp;signature coffee was spotted on the Instagram page of&nbsp;former actor Sana Khan recently.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Gold-plated&nbsp;dosas&nbsp;are quite the buzz&nbsp;in Southern India.&nbsp;The&nbsp;luxury&nbsp;concept originally&nbsp;shot to fame&nbsp;after a restaurant in Bangalore&nbsp;launched a&nbsp;24-karat&nbsp;gold-plated&nbsp;dosa&nbsp;worth over 1,000 rupees&nbsp;as a marketing strategy.&nbsp;Now,&nbsp;the&nbsp;shiny&nbsp;dish&nbsp;is&nbsp;part of the permanent menu&nbsp;at&nbsp;several restaurants&nbsp;across South India.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Burgers are synonymous with fast food and we often associate them with quick, affordable meals but not this one! A restaurant in Colombia gave&nbsp;its burger a luxurious twist with 24-karat gold.&nbsp;The burger, bathed in gold, costs 200,000 Columbian Pesos or nearly 4,200 rupees. The restaurant even claimed that the gold used is in its purest form.&nbsp;
No golden food list would be complete without dessert. In fact, the world&rsquo;s most expensive dessert, an ice cream sundae by a New York restaurant, features gold as one of its hero ingredients. Priced at a record $25,000 or&nbsp;18.3 lakh rupees, &lsquo;The&nbsp;Frrrozen&nbsp;Haute Chocolate ice cream sundae&rsquo; boasts of a&nbsp;coating of 5 grams of edible 23-karat gold.&nbsp;What&rsquo;s more, the dessert is served in a goblet lined with edible gold and is to be eaten with a golden spoon.&nbsp;
Gold-plated food sounds like the perfect way to taste luxury,&nbsp;but is there anything to it beyond a beautiful Instagram picture? While we know that&nbsp;consuming edible&nbsp;gold is&nbsp;generally&nbsp;safe, we wonder whether you can actually reap any of its healing benefits on a burger or even ice cream for that matter?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Beetroot juice benefits: From improving digestion to being a great source of vitamin C, we're no strangers to the benefits of juicy beetroots.

From improving digestion to being a great source of vitamin C, we're no strangers to the benefits of juicy beetroots. While you may have heard many of these, new research has found that drinking beetroot juice can also result in healthy ageing.&nbsp;
The study, published in the Redox Biology journal, showed that the consumption of beetroot juice helps produce a set of mouth bacteria that are associated with healthier brain function and blood vessels.
Beetroots and other foods including lettuce, spinach, and celery are rich in a certain compound that helps regulate the growth of a healthy oral bacteria that tends to diminish with age in older people.
The results of the study associated higher levels of bacteria with good vascular and cognitive health and lower levels of bacteria were linked to disease and inflammation.

Forget Delhi's famous chaat or Mumbai's iconic vada pavs- this street food found in Uttar Pradesh,&nbsp;cooked in sand, is becoming quite a sensation.
In a video shared by blogger Amar Sirohi, which is going massively viral, a street vendor in Mainpuri is seen sauteeing potatoes in a large wok-like bowl of sand over a burning furnace.&nbsp;After cooking them for 20 minutes, the potatoes are served hot with a chutney and a unique masala for Rs 25

Holi comes not just with a splash of colours, but also with a special appetite for festive food. Gujiya is the most loved sweet on the Holi menu. This stuffed and fried treat is full of sinful goodness that often reminds us of our grandma&rsquo;s kitchen. Interestingly, Gujiya transforms seamlessly in the Indian subcontinent as Purukiya in Bihar, Ghughra in Gujarat, Karanji in Maharashtra and Odisha, Karachika in Tamil Nadu, Kajjikaya in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and Nevri in Goa. But is this oh-so-Indian sweet really Indian? While the gujiya holds a special place in our hearts, on the map, it might have a different origin. Sambusa, a savoury filled fried snack travelled from the middle east to become Samosa in India. It is believed that the sambusa and the baklava from Turkey are distant cousins of the gujiya. The different regions adapted the gujiya with various fillings, from milk-based fillings using khoya to coconut and dry fruits. So, maybe next time you indulge in a beloved tradit

Kalonji&nbsp;also called black seeds or Nigella seeds, lend a nice flavour to any culinary dish. The tiny seeds come with a host of benefits as well. They aid weight loss and alleviate joint pain but they have even more to offer. Kalonji&nbsp;seeds are a powerhouse for&nbsp;healthy skin and hair! Let's dive in:
When applied topically, kalonji oil works wonders on the hair and skin. But always remember, just like most skincare and beauty products, it is always advised to conduct a patch test.
The oil is considered to be anti-bacterial in nature and may help fight off pesky acne. The oil contains compounds called&nbsp;Nigellone and Thymoquinone which may reduce hair fall and facilitate regrowth, giving you voluminous and shiny hair! If you suffer from dandruff, it may be a good idea to apply kalonji oil.
Its anti-fungal nature makes it an antidote for eczema and other kinds of skin irritation as well, leaving you with soft and supple skin.
It is advised to combine kalonji oil with other oils like coconut and olive oil with honey to reap maximum results.

They taste mild but incredibly refreshing. With more than 95 per cent water content, cucumbers are as good for your body as they are for your skin.

For a hydrating face mask, it is often recommended to mix cucumber with some yoghurt as both these ingredients work well together to make your skin silky smooth.
You can even splash some cucumber water on your face if your tap water is too harsh.
Whether you eat it in your salad or apply topically on your skin, there&rsquo;s no denying that cucumber can truly do wonders for both your body and your skin. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The benefits of hempseed oil, commonly referred&nbsp;to as hemp oil specially for the skin, are many! The oil has moisturising properties, its non-comedogenic&nbsp;that means it&nbsp;doesn't clog the pores and may help balance out oily skin.
The oil, it is believed, helps in the generation of new cells and acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Its Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids make it great to treat conditions like atopic dermatitis, a study has found.

The ketogenic&nbsp;diet is possibly one of the most popular diets of recent times. In the most simple terms, a keto&nbsp;diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that many claim to be effective in treatment hard-to-control illnesses like heart disease&nbsp;or epilepsy.&nbsp;
It is most commonly adopted by people who are trying to lose weight. So, if you are also planning to keto, here are some foods that you include in your diet.
Salmon and other fatty fish are as keto-friendly as it gets. Fish are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids as well as minerals like selenium and potassium.&nbsp;
Low-carb, non-starchy vegetables are low in calories but loaded with other important nutrients. So add ample amounts of broccoli, bell peppers, spinach and green beans to your keto plates.&nbsp;
With nearly no carbohydrate content, cheese is a powerhouse of healthy fat. It is also rich in protein and calcium at the same time, making it a great addition to any healthy meal. Alternatively, you can also have some plain&nbsp;yoghurt or paneer&nbsp;for the same benefits,&nbsp;if cheese is not your thing.&nbsp;
Finally, don't forget about nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Being full of&nbsp;polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, fiber and protein, these foods are a key part of keto&nbsp;diets. Most experts recommend olive and coconut oil to be your best friends if you're on keto.&nbsp;
While keto&nbsp;may work for many, we recommend that you&nbsp;must consult a certified nutritionist before making any drastic&nbsp;changes to your diet.&nbsp;

A staggering 17% of food available to consumers, which is about&nbsp; 931 million tonnes was wasted in 2019, a new report by the United Nations says.
The UN report says&nbsp;majority of the wasted food, that is about 61% came from households, 26% was wasted by the food service industry, while retail contributed to 13% of the wastage.
The report also noted that food wastage is not limited to developed countries like the United States or the United Kingdom.&nbsp;Many countries have not yet quantified their food waste, so they don't understand the magnitude of the problem.
South Asia is no better. In India, 50 kg of food per person per year goes to waste, 82 kg per person is wasted in Afghanistan and 79 kg per person is wasted in Nepal.

For many of us, a simple bowl of khichdi&nbsp;or the combination of rice and dal,&nbsp;is among the most comforting foods.
Here are simple ways of sprucing up your khichdi&nbsp;bowl and giving it a delicious twist!
Instead of using just a single dal&nbsp;in your khichdi&nbsp;recipe, use a mix of two or more dals&nbsp;like moong&nbsp;and masoor&nbsp;together.
Throw in the goodness of vegetables to make the bowl more interesting. From carrots to beans, potatoes and peas, you can add in just about anything!
Some delicious tomato or garlic chutney could do the trick and add the right amount of flavour on the side. If this doesn't help, there's nothing a papad&nbsp;in Indian cuisine can't fix!&nbsp;

The lockdown has left many of us feeling low but there seems to be one constant saviour of our spirits and that&rsquo;s food!&nbsp;
Much is known about the mood-boosting effects of chocolates and other high-calorie products that are up lifters. But here&rsquo;s a list of healthier alternatives that you can enjoy guilt-free, to pump up your spirits.&nbsp;
Keeping your blood sugar level in check and your mood stable, bananas are rich in natural sugar, prebiotic fibre and Vitamin B6, all of which work together to improve brain functioning.&nbsp;
Turn to foods that have a good content of omega-3 fatty acids like fish and plant foods including cauliflower, broccoli and nuts and seeds. Red kidney beans are also a good idea.&nbsp;
According to researchers, eating breakfast regularly helps improve your mood. Ensure you eat a balanced meal at the start of the day, packed with nutrients, fibre and good fats to keep you pumped through the day&nbsp;
Healthy food doesn&rsquo;t mean you cannot eat your favourite pasta or tortilla wraps. Whole wheat wraps and pastas are high in selenium, which is one mineral that the brain really counts on. Other selenium rich foods include chicken, brown rice and whole wheat breads.&nbsp;

Daily consumption of almonds may help reduce the severity of facial wrinkles and skin pigmentation in post-menopausal women with a skin condition, a study claims.
The research, published in the journal&nbsp;Nutrients, confirms and expands on a 2019 study that found that a daily snack of almonds in place of other nut-free snacks improved measures of wrinkle width and severity in postmenopausal women.
