Do you love taking naps in the afternoon or any time of the day? Stop right there! According to a study published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, frequent napping may be linked to a higher risk of high blood pressure and stroke.&nbsp;
For the study, researchers analysed data of nearly 3,60,000 UK adults for 11 years. They compared napping habits with blood pressure and stroke risk.
The team found that participants who routinely napped during the day had a 12% higher risk of developing high blood pressure and a 24% increased risk of stroke compared to those who never napped.
Data also suggested that the risk would increase if participants who never napped did so occasionally or if they went from napping sometimes to often.

Many studies have also supported the role of acupuncture in helping with migraines. Acupuncture produces natural substances in the body such as pain-relieving endorphins. It is considered as effective as prophylactic drug therapy for migraine and is safe.

Hitting the gym won’t help people deal with unhealthy eating habits, according to a new study.

New study proves exercise can’t compensate for a poor diet

Hitting the gym won&rsquo;t help people deal with unhealthy eating habits, according to a new study.

If you think you can counter the ill-effects of daily takeouts, and ordering out by hitting the gym regularly, we have some bad news for you! According to a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, exercise can&rsquo;t compensate for the adverse and long-term impact of unhealthy food on our health. The findings come from a 11-year-long study which assessed the diet patterns of 360,000 adults. According to the study, a &lsquo;bad&rsquo; or &lsquo;unhealthy&rsquo; diet was one comprising &ldquo;low fruit and vegetable intake, no fish, and lots of red meat, especially processed meat.&rdquo; The results suggested that the participants who engaged in high levels of physical activity while practicing a healthy diet had the lowest risks of death compared to their counterparts who were not only physically inactive but also had poor diets. Lead researcher of the study Melody Ding claimed that while many people may think that they could offset the impacts of a poor diet with high levels of exercise or offset the impacts of low physical activity with a high-quality diet, data has shown that this is not the case. Long story short, the study suggested exercise and a good diet go hand in hand, and balance is the key to a healthy life!

#workislife #workisworship #workworkwork Is deja vu hitting you right now? Don't worry no one is coming to haunt you with loads of work. Millennials might have glorified overworking but Gen Zs are here to save you as they are currently following the method of 'work, sleep, and eat' but at their own pace. And they have termed it as #Quietquitting.
This trend has been picked up from TikTok and it clearly mentions about work-life boundaries, cuz honey! you gotta take a break when you gotta take a break. Period.
If you search for #QuietQuitting on any social media platform, then you will come across a number of videos where people are making it clear that they will neither resign amid the Great Resignation nor they will overwork and to be precise once their shift is over, they call it a day!
<h3>What is quiet quitting?</h3>
It is a Gen Z trend where people are talking about the work-life balance. This trend began with Zaid, who created a video about quiet quitting and in no time, the video went viral.&nbsp;
In the video, he talked about work and said that it is not a person's life. He further said that a person's worth is defined by their productive output.&nbsp;
After this, another video about quiet quitting was made by career coach Bryan Creely. In the video, he said that this strategy is not for those who want to climb the corporate ladder but is for those people who don't want to do it and are currently feeling burnt out.&nbsp;
Ever since then, several people started making videos on this trend and also started practising it.&nbsp;
<h3>Is quiet quitting trend healthy?</h3>
According to several studies, maintaining a work-life balance can help to boost mental health. Amidst the time, when people got exhausted working from home for 12-16 hours during the pandemic, this trend is giving them some relief as now all they seek is balance in their life.&nbsp;
Other than this, research also suggests that happier employees are more engaged and productive. Quiet quitting trend also helps to remove the negative impact of feeling competitive with peers constantly.&nbsp;
Tip for employers: They should not feel negative about this trend as they too can hop on to this trend wagon and take maximum advantage of this as it will help to encourage a better work-life balance.&nbsp;

Makers of Dolo-650, a fever reducing drug, had distributed freebies worth whooping Rs 1,000 crore to doctors as consideration for prescribing the tablet, the Federation of Medical & Sales Representatives Association of India told the Supreme Court.

Emotional exhaustion: The feeling of deactivating all the social media platforms when things go down might not be depression, know what the psychotherapist has to say about it. 

Why do you feel like deactivating Instagram? Is it depression or emotional exhaustion?

The pattern of getting on and off on social media platforms when things go down in your life might not be depression but emotional exhaustion, here's what psychotherapist has to say about it.

Do you deactivate Instagram quite often? Here's what you need to know

When you feel overwhelmed in life and just go ahead with the option of deactivating Instagram, it might not be depression but emotional exhaustion; here's what you need to know about it.&nbsp;

Everytime you feel low or when things go down, do you feel like deactivating Instagram? Your go-to options are to isolate yourself, limit your interactions and prefer to take time away from social media. If yes, then that might not be depression but emotional exhaustion!
Emotional exhaustion happens when you extend yourself more often and these things take a toll on your mental health. It also happens when you feel overwhelmed by the things that are happening in your life.&nbsp;
Alaokika Motwane, Mumbai-based psychotherapist, said that stress has now itself become an epidemic. She further said that people have become used to the constant mix of adrenaline and cortisol because of the uncertainty that is happening within them and in the outside world.&nbsp;
Women are more likely to feel emotionally exhausted and this happens due to cultural conditioning. It is because time and again they have been suppressed and are shamed when they can't multitask in their daily life.
<h3>How to cope with emotional exhaustion?</h3>
According to the psychotherapist, our generation thrives on solutions but for this, there is no five-point solution that can quickly help you out. She said that there is a pattern of behaviour that needs to be read so that the underlying struggle with mental health issues can be dealt with and in this therapists can help you out.
So, next time when you feel overwhelmed and think of deactivating Instagram, book yourself a therapy!
