Have you ever wondered why some people end their meal with&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;or paan ke patte? According to historic records, even the royals in India commonly followed the practice. Ayurveda practitioners say that chewing on&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;supports digestion and promotes gut health. The&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;are believed to be anti-flatulent and carminative and thus, enhance metabolism.&nbsp;
Considered to be an analgesic, experts believe applying a paste made out of the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;can help relieve symptoms of pain. Using the paste on a wound or a cut can do wonders. If you're suffering from internal injuries or pains, drinking&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaf juice may offer some pain relief.&nbsp;
A powerhouse of antioxidants,&nbsp;betel&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;help ease constipation and an upset stomach. Just crush the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;and soak them in water overnight. Drink the water the next day on an empty stomach to reap benefits for the bowels.&nbsp;
Paan ke Patte serve as an antidote for a variety of respiratory issues like cough, cold, congestion and asthma. Simply apply mustard oil on the leaf, warm it and place on the chest for relief. Alternatively, you can boil the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;with cardamom, cinnamon and cloves in water and consume the concoction. &nbsp;
Rich in polyphenols, the&nbsp;leaves&nbsp;come with anti-fungal and antiseptic elements that help cure any kind of fungal infection and provide protection from germs. The paste can be applied on the infected area to kill the fungus.&nbsp;
So now you know why the humble leaf has been such an important part of India&rsquo;s culinary culture!&nbsp;

Acid reflux is a far too common issue that we experience from time to time. It happens when stomach acids travel from the food pipe to the mouth. Heartburn, not associated with the heart at all is, in fact, a symptom of acid reflux. It is the burning sensation in the abdomen or the chest.&nbsp;
People often turn to commercial medications, such as omeprazole, for relief. However, there are a number of lifestyle changes that can offer you long term relief from the tricky problems of acid reflux: &nbsp;
Acid reflux usually occurs after you have a meal and a large meal only makes it worse. Try avoiding large meals and cut down on your portion sizes. Replace larger meals with a higher number of smaller meals during the course of the day.&nbsp;
How you eat and when you eat could trigger heartburn. Make sure you finish your meal at least two hours before bedtime. Eat slowly, relishing each bite to the fullest.&nbsp;
High-fat foods, onions, tomatoes, citrus fruits and caffeine are commonly blamed to be a trigger for acid reflux in some people. Make a list of the food items you&rsquo;ve consumed that caused you heartburn to keep track of your trigger points. Experts believe a majority of patients with acid reflux avoid drinking citrus juice, as it can be a major cause of acidity.&nbsp;
You may not believe it but tight clothes tend to worsen the problem, increasing the pressure on the abdomen. Therefore, if you&rsquo;re a victim of acid reflux and often complain of heartburn, try to opt for loose clothes and see if that does the trick for you.&nbsp;
If the problem persists even after you&rsquo;ve tried all of this, it would be best to see a doctor. &nbsp;

Approximately one out of 10 women of childbearing age suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS, according to Medical News Today. Most of these women are often unaware that they have the syndrome. Some common symptoms include irregular periods, weight gain, acne and heavy bleeding. Many women with PCOS also report cysts in the ovaries.&nbsp;

These include legumes, whole grains, nuts and starchy vegetables. These food items do not cause insulin levels to rise rapidly.&nbsp;

Besides these dietary changes, exercise is an important step to take if you have been diagnosed with PCOS. Experts recommend that losing 5 to 10 percent of your body fat could help regulate your menstrual cycle.&nbsp;
It is advisable to see an expert if symptoms do not come under control.&nbsp;

The blood sugar level of the body when you wake up is usually low and a heavy healthy breakfast helps bring that up to normal.
