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!&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;&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;

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;

Tomatoes Side Effects: However, there are also several side effects of overeating this fruit, which is often confused as a vegetable.

They often say that excess of everything is always bad and for good reason.&nbsp;Whether it's our yummy gravies, soups or salads, we use tomatoes in just about everything.&nbsp;Tomatoes for the most part are extremely healthy and a rich&nbsp;dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene.&nbsp;They are loaded with vitamin C,&nbsp;potassium,&nbsp;folate, and vitamin K.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, there are also several side effects of overeating this fruit, which is often confused as a vegetable.&nbsp;
<h3>ACID REFLUX&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Tomatoes are <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/acidity-and-heartburn-these-dietary-changes-can-help-1597829375981" target="_blank">acidic</a> and when over-consumed, they increase the acid amount in your stomach causing digestive issues.&nbsp;Overeating&nbsp;can also cause burning sensation in the bladder. If you have the problem of urinary tract infection, then&nbsp;tomatoes may aggravate your discomfort.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>KIDNEY STONES&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Tomatoes are rich in potassium. People who have <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/want-to-avoid-kidney-stones-here-s-what-you-should-eat-1607252224254" target="_blank">kidney disease</a> are advised to reduce their potassium intake as tomatoes can oxalate&nbsp;and turn into&nbsp;kidney stones.&nbsp;
<h3>ALLERGIES&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
People who are <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/difference-respiratory-allergies-v-s-covid-19-v-s-common-cold-v-s-flu-1610088766369" target="_blank">allergic</a> to histamine compound may have an allergic reaction to tomatoes. This can cause eczema, rashes, itching, sore throat and swelling on the face.&nbsp;
<h3>MUSCLE PAIN&nbsp;</h3>
Tomato's histamine compound may cause <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/an-avocado-a-day-to-take-your-arthritis-pain-away-1600825525046" target="_blank">joint pain</a> and swelling. Some people also suffer from inflammation due to the&nbsp;solanine&nbsp;found in tomatoes. Too many tomatoes can also increase the chances of arthritis and muscle pain.
While there is little research on the maximum&nbsp;number&nbsp;of tomatoes you can eat in a day. Scientists say ideally one serving of tomatoes comprises either one whole regular tomato or six cherry tomatoes. So&nbsp;enjoy your tomatoes but spread out&nbsp;your&nbsp;intake throughout the week!

Covid-19 Diet: Staying adequately hydrated before and after getting your vaccine is very important. So, drink plenty of fluids!

If you&rsquo;re eligible to get a jab of the<a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank"> Covid-19 vaccine</a>, go and get it but bear these&nbsp;health tips in mind to reduces your chances of facing&nbsp;any side effects.&nbsp;
Staying&nbsp;adequately hydrated before and after getting&nbsp;your&nbsp;vaccine is&nbsp;very important.&nbsp;So, drink plenty of fluids!&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, fluids&nbsp;do&nbsp;not include alcohol. You should strictly avoid alcohol as it can weaken your natural immunity and make it hard for the vaccine to do its job.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In terms of eating, there are no strict rules.&nbsp;But you must not fast&nbsp;or try drastic diets&nbsp;before the vaccine so&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;don&rsquo;t go to the vaccine centre on an empty stomach.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Stick to a regular, home-cooked balanced meal.&nbsp;Avoid eating processed&nbsp;or sugary&nbsp;foods&nbsp;as they put your body under a lot of unnecessary strain.&nbsp;Apart from a healthy diet, make sure you get a good night&rsquo;s rest before the shot&nbsp;day.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When it comes to post-vaccine care, the same rules apply.
Try to plan ahead and eat foods that are easy to digest. If you&rsquo;re facing post-vaccine side-effects like nausea, fever, headache or tiredness, don&rsquo;t stress about it. Eat like you would during a common flu episode.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you live alone, it might be a good idea to do some post-vaccine grocery shopping, in case you don&rsquo;t feel great enough to step out.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Diet For Kids: there are some seemingly simple food groups that could prove to be dangerous for young children.

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;
<h2>Salt</h2>
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;
<h2>Sugar&nbsp;</h2>
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;
<h2>Honey&nbsp;</h2>
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;
<h2>Citrus fruits</h2>
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.
<h2>Nuts and Seeds</h2>
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.

BV Subba Rao Hegde, an 84-year-old man from Shivamogga&nbsp;in Karnataka&nbsp;has been continuously&nbsp;working towards preserving over 100 varieties&nbsp;of mangoes, in his backyard!
His passion for mangoes comes from his craze for mango pickle.
He visited over 16 villages in the Western Ghats to collect local varieties of 'appe&nbsp;midis' or the mangoes most commonly used as pickles.
Now, his tiny backyard is flourishing with these different varieties.&nbsp;
Hegde&nbsp;was also honoured with the 'Award of Excellence' for innovative farming at the National Horticulture Fair 2021.
