If&nbsp;you&rsquo;re looking for natural ways to boost your immunity,&nbsp;the Centre through its @MyGovIndia Twitter&nbsp;page has shared some general measures&nbsp;that&nbsp;you can follow to boost your immunity organically amidst&nbsp;the&nbsp;COVID-19&nbsp;pandemic.&nbsp;&nbsp;
First on the list of diet suggestions from the government is the consumption of five servings of colourful fruits and vegetables which help you get your&nbsp;recommended&nbsp;intake of vitamins and minerals.&nbsp;&nbsp;
To help with elevated anxiety levels, small amounts of dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa has been recommended.&nbsp;&nbsp;
To boost your body&rsquo;s disease defence, the govt has advised drinking turmeric milk once a day.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Noting that loss of taste and smell is a common complaint of coronavirus patients, the list suggests people to eat soft foods at small intervals and add some amchur to their food.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Stressing on the importance of foods that help rebuild muscle and boost energy levels, whole grains like ragi, oats and amaranth&nbsp;are suggested to be a part of&nbsp;a recovering patient&rsquo;s diet.&nbsp;
The list includes chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, soy, nuts and seeds as good sources of protein.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Walnuts, almonds as well as olive and mustard oil have been recommended as good sources of healthy fats.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The last bit of advice from the&nbsp;government advisory is a regular physical activity like yoga and breathing exercise or pranayama which should be performed as per one&rsquo;s tolerance.

New research investigating the effects of modified intermittent fasting (MIF) on the skin of people with psoriasis has yielded promising results. Psoriasis

New research investigating the effects of modified intermittent fasting (MIF) on the skin of people with psoriasis has yielded promising results.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic immune-mediated skin disorder that&nbsp;makes skin cells multiply faster than normal and form scales and itchy, dry patches.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In the study presented at the EADV Spring Symposium, participants&nbsp;with mild psoriasis&nbsp;who followed&nbsp;the&nbsp;5:2&nbsp;MIF diet exhibited&nbsp;a significant reduction in scaling and thickness. In the 5:2 diet, people eat normally for five days of the week and follow a low-calorie diet on two consecutive days.&nbsp;&nbsp;
A total of 24 subjects were enrolled in the study, half the group followed MIF for 12 weeks, and the other half stuck to their regular diet.&nbsp;Fasting subjects reported significantly less scaling and&nbsp;skin&nbsp;thickening at 6 and 12 weeks, with 30 per cent of patients also reporting a decrease in itching.&nbsp;
&lsquo;The results of this study add to the growing body of evidence linking the impact of gut health on the skin,&nbsp;offering&nbsp;some promising results for patients&nbsp;of psoriasis,&rsquo; said the lead author of the study.

With the weather getting hotter every day, you may be craving some cool and hydrating drinks to refresh your energy.&nbsp;But not every beverage is created&nbsp;the same. While there are some great drinks to soothe a parched throat like coconut water and buttermilk, there are many other&nbsp;not so great ones.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are five beverages that may taste delicious but are actually pretty harmful to your body in the long run.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PACKAGED FRUIT JUICE&nbsp;
You might think fruit juices are full of vitamins and minerals but the packaged juice bottles are also loaded with sugar. Most packaged juices rely on a&nbsp;watered-down concentrate mixed&nbsp;with&nbsp;nearly&nbsp;as much sweetener as a can of soda.&nbsp;&nbsp;
DIET SODA&nbsp;
The so-called healthy alternative to coke, diet sodas are really not that great either. Experts say that&nbsp;just&nbsp;like their sugary cousins,&nbsp;diet soda also has the potential to cause obesity and may present a variety of unstudied health issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;
ENERGY DRINKS&nbsp;
The go-to drink for those who want a quick recharge, energy drinks combine sugar and stimulants in a concoction that can prove to be quite dangerous over time. These drinks have been linked to&nbsp;a higher risk of heart disease and blood pressure spikes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PREMIXED COCKTAILS&nbsp;
Premixed alcoholic drinks sound pretty handy but are quite troublesome. Apart from the pesky preservatives, the added sugar&nbsp;and flavourings expedite the dehydration process that is already being brought upon by the alcohol.&nbsp;
SWEETENED ICED TEA&nbsp;&nbsp;
If it has been sweetened already, it's best avoided. Sweetened iced tea powders offer so much convenience that we forget about the side effects of all the artificial sweeteners that are often used to make them.&nbsp;You&rsquo;d be much better off brewing your own tea and&nbsp;controlling the amount of&nbsp;sugar you want to add.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Whether you love it or tolerate it, the pandemic has pushed nearly everyone to cook their own meals. And while cooking may be a fun and therapeutic exercise, it can get

Whether you love it or tolerate it, the pandemic has pushed nearly everyone to cook their own meals. And while cooking may be a fun and therapeutic exercise, it can get pretty&nbsp;tiresome&nbsp;when you have to do it every day.&nbsp;
Thankfully, there are some hacks that make&nbsp;everyday&nbsp;cooking and meal prep a little bit easier.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Make a big batch of gravy
You can get a lot out of the same gravy created using the same exact base, for example, a tomato&nbsp;masala&nbsp;puree or&nbsp;a&nbsp;boiled onion and nut paste, can be used to whip up a variety of curries in no time. Make a big batch and refrigerate it in an airtight jar.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Dips and chutneys to the rescue
Nothing brightens an otherwise bland meal better than a refreshing chutney on the side. Whether you like&nbsp;a mint chutney or a hummus dip, these simple homemade condiments&nbsp;are also&nbsp;a great&nbsp;snack when paired with&nbsp;some chips&nbsp;or crunchy veggies.
Simplify your breakfasts
Cooking all three meals daily is a mammoth task. Simplify your morning by making overnight oats or chia pudding that you can&nbsp;quickly put together before bed and enjoy in the morning. Alternatively, you can freeze some fruits&nbsp;and veggies&nbsp;and blend them in the morning for a quick and delicious smoothie.
One-pot&nbsp;meals&nbsp;are your best friend
Possibly the most annoying part of cooking is&nbsp;washing&nbsp;the dishes. Reduce the number of pans and pots&nbsp;that need to be washed by experimenting with one-pot meals. You can cook some vegetable rice or add meat to your noodles.
Planning makes all the difference
Cooking at home demands time and effort so our last bit of advice is to plan your meals. This way you&rsquo;re at least not stuck wondering what to make when the hunger pangs come knocking.
To make cooking easier, always keep a running list of meal ideas and make sure your pantry is always filled with the basics. Happy cooking!&nbsp;

Confirming the age-old adage, scientists have found that green&nbsp;leafy vegetables are the key to better heart health.&nbsp;
The team from&nbsp;New Edith Cowan University notes that&nbsp;eating just one cup of nitrate-rich vegetables every day can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.
Participants who regularly ate nitrate-rich foods, including leafy greens, radish, turnip and beetroots, had lower blood pressure and&nbsp;were less likely to be diagnosed with heart disease many years later.
Examining data of over 50,000 people in a 23-year-long Danish study, they found a 12-26 per cent reduction in cardiovascular disease risk.
Writing in the&nbsp;European Journal of Epidemiology, the scientists clarified that eating one cup of raw (or half a cup of cooked) nitrate-rich vegetables was optimal for this purpose and eating more or taking supplements 'didn't seem to give any additional benefits.'

In order to fight the battle against infections, it is integral to keep your immunity in check. A weaker immunity can make it harder for your body to recover quickly. While eating a balanced diet all day is important, there&rsquo;s nothing like kick-starting your day with foods that give your immune system a boost.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Add these foods to your breakfast to reap the benefits:&nbsp;&nbsp;
OATS&nbsp;
Oats are extremely rich in dietary fibre and have anti-microbial properties which makes them a&nbsp;great&nbsp;immunity breakfast.&nbsp;They&nbsp;also contain selenium and zinc, two&nbsp;essential&nbsp;nutrients for warding off infection and helping you stay in fighting shape.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FIG OR ANJEER&nbsp;
A tiny fruit with big benefits, figs are loaded with&nbsp;immune-boosting Vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium and magnesium.&nbsp;The&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;and antioxidant properties in&nbsp;figs or&nbsp;anjeer&nbsp;not only&nbsp;supports immunity but also&nbsp;helps&nbsp;maintain oxygen levels in the blood.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PAPAYA&nbsp;
Bright, tropical fruit papaya helps keep our stomach clean and is a good source of vitamin C.&nbsp;Best enjoyed uncooked and ripe, papaya has good amounts of vitamin B, folate and potassium.&nbsp;It&nbsp;also&nbsp;contains an enzyme called&nbsp;papain&nbsp;which is very good for the digestive system.&nbsp;
CURD&nbsp;
If you start your morning with parathas, then add some curd on the side. You can even consume yoghurt as a post-exercise snack after your morning workouts&nbsp;for a flush of energy.&nbsp;The probiotics&nbsp;in curd help&nbsp;support the&nbsp;immune&nbsp;system&nbsp;and it's also high in protein.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
AMLA&nbsp;&nbsp;
Some amla in the morning can have numerous health benefits. Whether you have it raw with a sprinkle of salt, make some amla juice or suck on amla candies, this berry has amazing benefits for your skin, hair, stomach and immunity. Amla is rich in vitamin C, E and A as well as iron and calcium.&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you’ve been trying to eat up to strengthen your immune system, here’s one thing that you would probably benefit more by eating less.

If you&rsquo;ve been trying to eat up to strengthen your immune system, here&rsquo;s one thing that you would probably benefit&nbsp;more&nbsp;by eating less.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Researchers have found that the amount of salt you eat can impact your immunity.&nbsp;Publishing&nbsp;in the journal&nbsp;Circulation, the team found that a high intake of salt can disrupt&nbsp;mitochondrial respiration and suppress immunity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sodium can accumulate at inflammation sites in the body and affect the functioning of innate and adaptive immune cells, found the team.&nbsp;So, the less you reach for the salt shaker, the better it is for your health. In fact, salt also raises blood pressure and thereby increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.&nbsp;
So how much is too much? According to researchers from the study, &lsquo;adults are recommended to limit their daily intake to five or six grams at most. The calculation includes the salt that is hidden in processed foods.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;

A low appetite and digestive issues are common complaints in the summer. This is why it's important to consume light and cooling foods in the hotter months.&nbsp;Luckily, the hot season also arrives with a plethora of fresh, colourful foods that are perfect to satiate your appetite and thirst.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you want to boost your immunity in the summer without heating up your body, here are the nutritional superstars you should add to your summer diet:&nbsp;
CUCUMBER&nbsp;
Cooling cucumbers aren&rsquo;t just&nbsp;super&nbsp;hydrating but also loaded with&nbsp;Vitamins A, B, C, K, manganese, copper and potassium. Together, these nutrients play an important role in&nbsp;maintaining a healthy&nbsp;immune&nbsp;system.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WATERMELON&nbsp;
Sweet, juicy and refreshing, watermelons are also a powerhouse of nutrition.&nbsp;They are about 92 per cent water but still rich in&nbsp;vitamin A, C and B6 as well as potassium making them a&nbsp;low-calorie&nbsp;immunity booster.&nbsp;&nbsp;
BOTTLE GOURD&nbsp;&nbsp;
You might have heard about the numerous benefits of drinking&nbsp;lauki&nbsp;juice, and truly bottle gourd in any form offers an array of benefits. The water-rich&nbsp;lauki&nbsp;is&nbsp;rich in dietary fibre,&nbsp;Vitamin C, riboflavin, zinc, iron, magnesium and manganese. Need we say more?&nbsp;&nbsp;
CITRUS FRUITS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lemons, oranges or tangerines, all citrus fruits are great sources of vitamin C. Additionally, they are also high in phytonutrients, such as&nbsp;carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols&nbsp;which act as antioxidants to protect the body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
MANGO&nbsp;
Everyone&rsquo;s favourite summer fruit, mango is also a pulpy powerhouse of health.&nbsp;Mango facilitates healthy digestion,&nbsp;contains prebiotic dietary fibre and will take care of about&nbsp;two-thirds of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C.&nbsp;&nbsp;
MINT&nbsp;
A cooling herb known for its medicinal power, load up on mint in summer. It is anti-inflammatory, soothes upset tummies&nbsp;and&nbsp;provides&nbsp;an enormous amount of&nbsp;vitamin A.&nbsp;
GARLIC&nbsp;&nbsp;
Although available round-the-year, garlic is a summer harvest. Each clove of garlic packs a big dose of&nbsp;calcium and vitamins B &amp; C. It also helps fight off bacteria, thanks to the presence of phytochemical allicin.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The coronavirus pandemic has taken over every facet of our lives and this includes our kitchens too! While most of us were busy baking our first banana breads at the onset of the pandemic, many&nbsp;bakers took the opportunity to show off their skills with 'Covid cakes.'
From cakes that mimic the visual appearance of a virus to desserts that feature toilet paper and masks as a decorative element, the &lsquo;corona cake&rsquo; trend was&nbsp;the biggest and perhaps the oddest food trend of 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Many in India also took up the challenge with one sweet shop whipping up a much-talked-about&nbsp;Corona&nbsp;Sandesh as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In 2021, this focus has now shifted to vaccinations as countries seek to inoculate their populations. Pastry shops are putting a Covid&nbsp;vaccine spin on their desserts by adding a syringe to the mix.&nbsp;&nbsp;
These syringe-themed desserts feature&nbsp;vaccine-inspired&nbsp;layered mousses with colourful jelly toppings and so much more.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Earlier this year, a German bakery&nbsp;even launched vaccine cakes in the shape of big syringes with &ldquo;2021-Bye Bye Corona,&rdquo; written on them. Reportedly, these vaccine cakes have become the new&nbsp;norm for birthdays, anniversaries&nbsp;and&nbsp;even to mark&nbsp;celebrations for people who&rsquo;ve gotten their jabs.&nbsp;
Which one of these eye-catching cakes would you want to try?

The rise in infections and diseases has put a central focus on all&nbsp;things 'immunity.' People are trying to eat better and&nbsp;there is a special emphasis on immunity-boosting diets.&nbsp;And when it comes to foods that protect our body from diseases, ginger is the first one that comes to mind. A spice known for its medicinal&nbsp;properties, ginger is used in everything from masala&nbsp;chai to&nbsp;yummy curries.&nbsp;&nbsp;
While there&rsquo;s no denying the power of ginger, did you know that excessive use of ginger can also have some negative side effects on your health?
Here&rsquo;s why you need to be mindful about not overdoing the spice:&nbsp;
STOMACH TROUBLE&nbsp;
You&rsquo;re adding ginger to your&nbsp;kaadha, having it in your ginger tea many times a day in an effort to boost your immune defences. On top of it, ginger is also being used in cooking vegetables, lentils, pickles and chutneys.&nbsp;But using ginger in everything and consuming it&nbsp;multiple times a day in the summer can upset your stomach and cause&nbsp;diarrhoea. So maybe reign it in a bit!
HEARTBURN&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating a balanced amount of ginger is beneficial, but if you use it excessively, then there may be a complaint of a burning sensation in your chest, especially during the hot summer months.&nbsp;
BLOOD PRESSURE&nbsp;&nbsp;
People who are taking blood pressure medication are generally advised to avoid ginger.&nbsp;It is said&nbsp;that heavy consumption of ginger&nbsp;may&nbsp;aggravate heart conditions and can lead to irregularities in the heartbeat.&nbsp;
PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS&nbsp;
For pregnant women, consuming more than 1,500 mg of ginger every day can increase the risk of miscarriage. Pregnant women must consult a doctor before using ginger during pregnancy.&nbsp;
HEAVIER PERIODS&nbsp;&nbsp;
The ginger root is naturally hot and in the summer it can dilute the blood. If you overeat ginger during your periods, you might face a heavier and longer blood flow. This is why it is important to avoid ginger if you&rsquo;re in a lot of pain while menstruating.
If you're wondering how much ginger is too much, experts suggest consuming a maximum of 3&ndash;4 grams of raw ginger per day.&nbsp;If you're pregnant or have significant medical conditions, it would be best to consult your doctor about your required dosage.&nbsp;

Ever finish up some late-night work after dinner and just as you’re getting ready for bed, a sudden craving for something sweet creeps in? You want some

Ever finish up some&nbsp;late-night&nbsp;work after dinner and just as you&rsquo;re getting ready for bed, a sudden craving for something sweet creeps in? You want something that doesn&rsquo;t require prep time, tastes delicious and won&rsquo;t play against your sleep.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As it turns out, bananas aren&rsquo;t just the most convenient and&nbsp;tasty snack, they&rsquo;re also a great sleeping aid.&nbsp;
A medium-sized banana takes care of 9 per cent of your daily potassium requirement, 33 per cent of your vitamin B6, and 8 per cent of your magnesium needs.&nbsp;But that&rsquo;s not all, this much-loved fruit also helps&nbsp;reduce stress and anxiety, allay muscle cramps and regulate your sleep-wake cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The magnesium in the banana&nbsp;helps you relax and release stress before bed. As you might know, stress is one of the biggest&nbsp;hindrances&nbsp;to getting good sleep.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The high levels of vitamin B6 in banana work on boosting serotonin production, a neurotransmitter that controls your body&rsquo;s melatonin levels.&nbsp;Melatonin, in turn,&nbsp;regulates your internal clock by making you feel sleepy in the evening.&nbsp;
Lastly, the potassium content helps not just&nbsp;relax your muscles and reduce night-time cramps but also regulate your blood pressure naturally. This wonder mineral works&nbsp;all night to cut down the harmful effects of sodium in the body.&nbsp;
However, if you&rsquo;re suffering from a cough or have a cold, you may want to avoid eating bananas before bed.&nbsp;People who are prone to asthma, sinus and cold may also want to&nbsp;avoid it late in the evening and also at night.&nbsp;&nbsp;

When it comes to quick, visually appealing and somewhat easy recipes, there is no shortage of them on social media.&nbsp;From Tik Tok to Instagram Reels, these viral recipes cover everything from drinks to wraps to the most surprising&nbsp;lockdown&nbsp;creation... bread!
While&nbsp;Dalgona&nbsp;Coffee was inarguable the most buzzworthy viral food of Lockdown 2020, there are many other just as quirky recipes that actually sound delicious.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re bored at home or just need to do something other than worrying about one crisis after another, here are some fun viral recipes you can try at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Baked Feta Pasta&nbsp;
Famous for causing a shortage of feta cheese in many departmental stores across the West, this creamy pasta dish is what viral content is made of. All you need is a block of cheese, some&nbsp;juicy tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, herbs and your pasta of choice. This&nbsp;yummy pasta concoction seems like a mouth-watering way to ramp up your mid-week dinner plans.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Baked Oats&nbsp;
This viral dish incorporates one of our favourite breakfast foods. Baked oats&nbsp;is&nbsp;basically cake for breakfast and we&rsquo;re not complaining. To make this, you need&nbsp;rolled&nbsp;oats,&nbsp;a&nbsp;ripe banana, some milk, honey and eggs and baking powder or baking soda.&nbsp;You can get as creative as you want with this as your base and&nbsp;enjoy it fresh out of the oven.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Cloud Bread&nbsp;
If you love pretty looking foods, this recipe should be on your to-do list. Cloud bread gets its name from its fluffy texture. It&nbsp;is technically just a&nbsp;baked meringue made by whisking together egg whites, sugar, corn starch and some food colouring of&nbsp;your&nbsp;choice.&nbsp;
Tik Tok Tortilla Wrap&nbsp;&nbsp;
Instead of rolling all the fillings up like a roll or burrito, the Tik Tok Wrap is basically just an easier way to 'wrap up' your wrap. Cut the tortilla or&nbsp;some&nbsp;roti&nbsp;halfway in&nbsp;the middle and place different ingredients in all four quadrants of your base. Then, just fold the wrap in a clockwise direction&nbsp;starting from the bottom left quarter.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nature&rsquo;s Cereal&nbsp;
Popularised by pop singer Lizzo Beating, Nature's Cereal gives a fruity makeover to the concept of basic breakfast cereal. This recipe requires all prep and no cooking. Just replace your crunchy cereal with fresh fruits like&nbsp;mixed berries and pomegranate seeds and switch the milk for yummy coconut water. That&rsquo;s it, that&rsquo;s the dish!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Focaccia Bread Art&nbsp;
This recipe is all about unleashing your inner artist! The Focaccia Bread Art or Bread Garden as some call it allows&nbsp;you to arrange your bread toppings like a painting. Create a landscape with&nbsp;red onions, mini bell peppers, tomatoes or green onions and bake away your creation!
All this talk about food sure made us hungry! Which recipe are you going to try out next?

We are all aware that waste is one of the biggest environmental problems of our time. And with resources become scarce more&nbsp;than ever, we should definitely not be wasting any more food&nbsp;than we already do.&nbsp;
When it comes to fruits, some like them raw, some like them cooked into desserts and others prefer to juice them up.&nbsp;We eat or juice the meaty parts of the fruit and throw the rest away. But did you know that there are many&nbsp;fruit&nbsp;scraps&nbsp;that offer more nutrition than the fruit itself?&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here&rsquo;s a round-up of five fruit scraps that you need to stop throwing away!&nbsp;&nbsp;
CITRUS PEELS&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
You might have heard about this one already but citrus peels are the easiest to reuse. Use the zest from lemons and oranges to add some&nbsp;brightness&nbsp;to your&nbsp;cooking.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PINEAPPLE CORE AND PEEL&nbsp;&nbsp;
This will sound crazy to some but you can reuse the pineapple's core and skin both! The core is full of&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;and a digestion-boosting enzyme called&nbsp;bromelain. Turn your pineapple waste into tepache, a fermented Mexican drink&nbsp;that can be easily made at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;
APPLE CORE&nbsp;&nbsp;
An apple a day keeps the doctor away? But apparently, the bulk of nutritive values in apple is in its seed, according to scientists.&nbsp;The core&nbsp;offers&nbsp;some great bacteria which aids the digestion process. You can use the core to&nbsp;ferment your own&nbsp;apple scrap&nbsp;vinegar&nbsp;with just some sugar and dechlorinated water.&nbsp;
WATERMELON RIND&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Watermelon rinds&nbsp;are rich in vitamins and&nbsp;should never be thrown away! The crunchy rind tastes like cucumber and makes for a great&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;pickle.&nbsp;You can chop up the rind and just pickle it like you would pickle a cucumber.&nbsp;
KIWI SKIN&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re peeling kiwis and throwing the skin, you&rsquo;re doing it wrong! Kiwi peels are even higher in&nbsp;fibre, vitamin C and antioxidants than the actual fruit itself. If you don&rsquo;t feel like eating the brown skin, you can throw them into a blender and eat them in your smoothies!&nbsp;
Just like these fruits, there are many others&nbsp;that have surprisingly&nbsp;nutritious scraps. How many of these&nbsp;are you going to start eating now?&nbsp;&nbsp;

True to their name, energy drinks are promoted as beverages that boost energy, alertness and improve physical performance.&nbsp;They are one of the most popular dietary supplements amongst young people, with many drinking at least one on a regular basis.&nbsp;
But research shows that these colourful drinks have caused more harm than improvement&nbsp;than one would think. A new BMJ study has warned that heavy energy drink consumption may be linked to heart failure.&nbsp;Doctors treating a 21-year-old, who regularly drank 4 such cans every day for around 2 years, made the suggestion.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Adding to the mounting evidence against energy drinks,&nbsp;the young man who was the subject of this study ended up in intensive care&nbsp;after experiencing 4 months of progressive shortness of breath on exertion, breathlessness while lying down (orthopnoea) and weight loss.&nbsp;
This is just one case report, but several other reports have also highlighted mounting concerns about the potential cardiovascular&nbsp;risks&nbsp;of energy drinks, note the authors.&nbsp;
Being loaded with caffeine, heavy drinking can&nbsp;cause serious heart and blood vessel problems such as heart rhythm disturbances and also cause the&nbsp;heart rate and blood pressure to increase.&nbsp;
Overconsumption of caffeine is also&nbsp;associated with anxiety, sleep problems, digestive problems and dehydration.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And last but definitely not least,&nbsp;people who combine energy drinks with alcohol may not be able to tell how intoxicated they are. They may end up feeling less intoxicated but their&nbsp;motor and reaction response could be just as impaired.&nbsp;
Before you grab another one of these drinks, be careful of their impact on your health.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ever the businesswoman, actor Priyanka Chopra recently turned restauranteur by opening&nbsp;her first&nbsp;dining&nbsp;joint&nbsp;in New York City.&nbsp;The actor, author and producer&rsquo;s Indian restaurant SONA&nbsp;officially opened&nbsp;for dining on March 27, earlier this year. Since then,&nbsp;Chopra has shared glimpses of the restaurant&rsquo;s d&eacute;cor and menu with her&nbsp;insta-fam.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SONA&rsquo;s chef Hari Nayak has designed quite the menu&nbsp;and here&rsquo;s what you can expect to eat if you&rsquo;ve ever in the neighbourhood.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Chef Nayak&rsquo;s&nbsp;bhel&nbsp;is made with super grain buckwheat&nbsp;along with&nbsp;fenugreek&nbsp;sprouts and raw mango.&nbsp;
Far beyond basic, the samosa at SONA features spinach and goat cheese with a special dip on the side.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In a&nbsp;grown-up&nbsp;twist, SONA&rsquo;s&nbsp;gol&nbsp;gappas&nbsp;are served with avocados and a shot of tequila.&nbsp;
And the&nbsp;gajar&nbsp;ka halwa is a deconstructed carrot cake with a&nbsp;pistachio&nbsp;crumb and frozen yogurt on the side.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Another dessert on the menu, chef Nayak&rsquo;s&nbsp;ghevar&nbsp;sits pretty on a poached rhubarb and rose concoction.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For seafood lovers, he&rsquo;s serving&nbsp;green garlic butter roasted oysters, ghee roast octopus and ceviche&nbsp;solkadi.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From spicy meat roasts to the chilli cheese naan, there&rsquo;s a lot of&nbsp;desi&nbsp;yumminess with a fine dining twist&nbsp;at SONA. What dish would you want to try?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eating the right food is important for our health but eating them at the right time is just as important! For example, did you know that there are some foods that

Eating the right food is important for our health but eating them at the right time is just as important!&nbsp;For example, did you know that there are some foods that should never be eaten on an empty stomach? Eating these&nbsp;seemingly harmless foods&nbsp;on an empty stomach can&nbsp;actually&nbsp;cause issues within the body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are a few such foods to keep in mind before you reach for your early morning snack.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SPICY FOOD&nbsp;
Having really spicy food on an empty stomach is a big no-no. The spices can upset your stomach, spoil the digestion process and even cause cramping.&nbsp;&nbsp;
TEA/COFFEE&nbsp;
This is one of the most common things that a majority of the people get wrong. You should never have tea or coffee on an empty stomach. Both these beverages can interfere with the good bacteria in your gut, disrupt your metabolism and lead to bloating.&nbsp;&nbsp;
CURD&nbsp;&nbsp;
While curd is great for your health, it can actually be harmful on an empty stomach.&nbsp;Having&nbsp;dahi&nbsp;first thing in the morning makes the lactic acid bacteria present in yogurt&nbsp;ineffective due to the high acidity of stomach acid.&nbsp;&nbsp;
BANANA&nbsp;&nbsp;
Many of us start the morning with a banana before our workout. But&nbsp;eating bananas on an empty stomach increases the amount of magnesium in the body. This leads to an imbalance of potassium&nbsp;and magnesium in the body which may aggravate cardiovascular problems.&nbsp;
SODA&nbsp;
While soda is something you should avoid at all times, it definitely should not be had on an empty stomach. The high amounts of carbonated acid&nbsp;can cause&nbsp;nausea and vomiting and make you feel extremely uncomfortable.
There is nothing wrong with eating these foods but just remember to not eat them on an empty stomach!&nbsp;

Thanks&nbsp;to the unwavering heat in summers, our body gets dehydrated very easily&nbsp;in the hotter months. This is why it's essential to drink enough fluids during this difficult time.&nbsp;While&nbsp;nothing quite beats the thirst like good old water, you can also drink some fruit juices if you want more&nbsp;energy while sipping on something yummy.
Here are some fruits that you can juice and relish this summer!&nbsp;&nbsp;
SWEET LEMONADE
Drinking lemon water in summer is an unbeatable health fix. Lemons are rich in vitamin C&nbsp;and lemonade is a delicious way to keep your breath fresh. It is&nbsp;also good for digestion&nbsp;and helps beat fatigue.&nbsp;
WATERMELON JUICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;ve been drinking lots of water but feel like plain water is just not enough to quench your thirst, this is the drink for you. Gorge on hydrating watermelons to keep your body cool. Whether eaten fresh or made into a juice, watermelons will boost your energy levels&nbsp;and help de-stress your body from the summer heat.&nbsp;&nbsp;
POMEGRANATE JUICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Notorious for being one of the hardest fruit to peel, pomegranates are rich in vitamin A, C and E. Pomegranates also contain folic acid, antioxidants and antiviral properties making them a great fruit to eat&nbsp;and juice in this weather. The fact that they have such great health benefits and taste yum makes them a firm favourite for many!
SUGARCANE JUICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nothing says summer quite like a refreshing glass of&nbsp;ganne&nbsp;ka juice. Sugarcane&nbsp;is super sweet but also a great source of&nbsp;sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Together, these nutrients in a glass of sugarcane juice ensure that you never feel lethargic from the heat.&nbsp;&nbsp;
COCONUT WATER&nbsp;&nbsp;
Another summer staple that we all know and love, the benefits of coconut water are well known.&nbsp;Vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and fibre are all found aplenty in coconut water. Coconut water&nbsp;is so&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;that some even consume it as an energy drink before or after workouts.&nbsp;
Juices are a great way to stay hydrated in the summer but just make sure that you are drinking them fresh and without any added sugars!&nbsp;&nbsp;

There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with enjoying some dessert once in a while or nibbling on something sweet when your heart gets a craving. But sugar is a notorious food group that is often hidden in plain sight in so many of the things we eat, often on a regular basis.&nbsp;
Added sugars can creep into your diet and cause&nbsp;harm without letting you even realise what is happening.&nbsp;It is okay to have sugar as long as you&rsquo;re able to keep a watchful eye on your intake.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are some foods that we eat regularly that often feature hidden sugars in bulk!&nbsp;&nbsp;
PASTA SAUCES&nbsp;
While they don&rsquo;t taste sweet, packaged pasta sauces are high in sugar content. You&rsquo;ll find as much as 6 to 12 grams of sugar in just half a cup of pasta sauce, which is similar to the sugars in one chocolate cookie.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PROTEIN BARS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Granola or protein bars are touted to be a healthy snack but be careful before eating them on a daily basis. Many of these bars are made with&nbsp;sweeteners like corn syrup, brown sugar, honey, dextrose and fructose.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FLAVOURED YOGHURT&nbsp;
Yoghurt is a great source of calcium and protein but the story of flavoured yoghurts isn&rsquo;t exactly the same. Apart from the naturally&nbsp;occurring sugars, these yoghurts are pumped with sweeteners. One serving of flavoured yoghurt can have as much as 17 to 33 grams of sugar.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SALAD DRESSING&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re eating salads in hopes of living healthier, you must keep this in mind. Salad dressing, especially the sweeter&nbsp;kinds, can pack a lot of sugar. With 5 to 7 grams of sugar in just two spoons of dressing, you&rsquo;ll be much safer making&nbsp;your own vinegar and oil dressings at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;
TEA AND COFFEE&nbsp;&nbsp;
When you make your own tea or coffee, you have complete control over the sugar. But many leading brands of iced&nbsp;or&nbsp;pre-brewed tea and&nbsp;flavoured&nbsp;coffees can be loaded with&nbsp;high amounts of&nbsp;this sweet but deadly component.&nbsp;Sometimes even more than a can of fruit juice!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating or not eating sugar is your personal dietary choice but it is better to avoid foods that suspiciously&nbsp;sneak added sugars into your diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The coronavirus crisis has taken over the entire country once again. India now&nbsp;has&nbsp;the&nbsp;second-highest&nbsp;number of novel&nbsp;coronavirus cases, as the&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;infection continues to spread.
Health experts have repeatedly stressed the importance of wearing&nbsp;masks, hand washing&nbsp;and social distancing. But it is just as important to maintain a healthy, immunity-boosting diet to help you protect yourself from the virus.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WHO&nbsp;RECOMMENDATIONS&nbsp;&nbsp;
The World Health Organisation recommends that you&nbsp;consume&nbsp;sufficient amounts&nbsp;of vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and protein in your meals.&nbsp;Eat as many fresh fruits and&nbsp;vegetables&nbsp;as you can and drink&nbsp;3 to 5 litres of warm water every day to&nbsp;stay in good health.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 What other dietary changes can&nbsp;you make to improve your immunity?&nbsp;&nbsp;
CUT DOWN YOUR SUGAR INTAKE&nbsp;
According to a WHO report, it may be a good idea to reduce your intake of sugary foods.&nbsp;Do not eat more than 6 teaspoons of sugar in a day. If you want to eat something sweet, then add fresh fruits to your diet so that you can handle your cravings in a healthy way.&nbsp;&nbsp;
AVOID UNHEALTHY FATS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating too many fat-rich foods may not be a great idea.&nbsp;A person should consume only 30% of fat-rich items in a day. Make sure you get your fats not from potato chips&nbsp;but healthy sources like homemade ghee, nuts and seeds or avocados.&nbsp;&nbsp;
EAT MORE LENTILS AND BEANS&nbsp;
Consuming more protein and fibre should be your top priority. Apart from these values, lentils and beans are also good sources of vitamins and minerals. Stock up on lentils and beans as they are easy to cook and highly&nbsp;nutritious.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WATCH YOUR SODIUM INTAKE&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to WHO, consuming too much salt can prove to be harmful. Avoid consuming more than 5 grams of salt in a day. Remember, fast food or packaged meals are heavy and can be hidden sources of too much salt.&nbsp;
Apart from checking your diet and staying hydrated, keep in mind that getting enough rest and 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night can also do wonders for your health.&nbsp;

Side Effects Of Watermelon: Watermelons are the most refreshing fruit to gorge on in the hot months making it a summer staple in all homes.

Watermelons are the most refreshing fruit to gorge on in&nbsp;the hot months making it a summer staple in all homes.&nbsp;The fruit&nbsp;is&nbsp;loaded with vitamin A and C, it is about 92 per cent water&nbsp;and&nbsp;still&nbsp;low on calories. The sweet fruit tastes great alone&nbsp;or it can be used in juices, salads and even to make sorbets.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, too much of anything can quickly lead to negative after-effects.&nbsp;If you love eating lots of watermelon in summer, you might want to re-evaluate your consumption.
Let&rsquo;s take a look at the adverse effects of&nbsp;eating&nbsp;too much watermelon.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>STOMACH TROUBLES</h3>
Watermelon is rich in lycopene, but if you&rsquo;re eating a lot of it every day, you could potentially become a victim of&nbsp;nausea,&nbsp;diarrhoea, indigestion and bloating, according to the&nbsp;American Cancer Society.&nbsp;
<h3>CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS</h3>
People with high potassium content in their body or those who suffer from serious&nbsp;hyperkalaemia&nbsp;should not eat more than about one cup of watermelon a day. Over consumption&nbsp;can&nbsp;result in irregular heartbeat and other cardiovascular problems, says the US National Institute of Health.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>WATER INTOXICATION&nbsp;</h3>
While hydration is important for the body, overeating watermelon may cause water intoxication. Also known as over hydration, this condition can&nbsp;deplete the body&rsquo;s sodium content and cause swelling in the legs, exhaustion and weak kidneys in extreme cases.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So how much watermelon can you eat in a day? According to health experts and nutritionists,&nbsp;you can eat anywhere between 100 to&nbsp;150 grams of this fruit in a day.&nbsp;&nbsp;
