What&rsquo;s in a sleeve? Well, sleeves are integral to any outfit and they can either make or break the look.&nbsp;A&nbsp;misplaced sleeve&nbsp;shape&nbsp;on an otherwise beautiful piece of clothing can spoil the entire feel of a garment.&nbsp;Sometimes, sleeves can enhance your features and highlight different parts of your outfit.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is why&nbsp;it's&nbsp;important to learn about&nbsp;popular&nbsp;sleeve designs&nbsp;so that you can make an informed choice before you hit 'add to cart' the next time!&nbsp;
RAGLAN SLEEVE&nbsp;
Very common&nbsp;in&nbsp;sporty t-shirts and tops, you will find raglan&nbsp;sleeves&nbsp;in&nbsp;many different lengths&nbsp;in all types of garments.&nbsp;This sleeve extends in one piece fully to the collar, leaving a diagonal seam from underarm to collarbone.&nbsp;
BELL SLEEVE&nbsp;
Found in varying lengths and flares, bell sleeves look almost exactly like bell-bottom pants.&nbsp;The sleeve starts fitted on the&nbsp;arm&nbsp;and then flares out progressively like a&nbsp;literal&nbsp;bell.&nbsp;&nbsp;
KIMONO SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
This sleeve is attached to the bodice of the outfit and doesn&rsquo;t have to be sewn separately.&nbsp;Usually, kimono sleeves are very wide and remain equally wide from beginning to end.&nbsp;The name is inspired by traditional Japanese outfits but is more commonly used in&nbsp;Chinese&nbsp;garments.&nbsp;
CAPE SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Long and flowy, cape sleeves give the illusion of wearing a cape. To achieve this, extra fabric is gathered and stitched at the shoulder&nbsp;to&nbsp;give a&nbsp;flared appearance.&nbsp;This sleeve is sometimes a part of the garment and other times, stitched as an extension.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PEASANT SLEEVE&nbsp;
A style that is a huge part of bohemian and hippie style dressing, peasant sleeves are&nbsp;loosely puffed at the shoulders and clamped with an elastic at the end. This sleeve can be found in both long and shorter lengths.&nbsp;&nbsp;
OFF-SHOULDER SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
One of the most popular styles, off-shoulder sleeves are completely bare on the shoulder and arms. While it&nbsp;has been&nbsp;spotted&nbsp;on tops and dresses for a long time, off-shoulder sleeves are now&nbsp;a common fixture on saree blouses as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
COLD SHOULDER SLEEVE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Somewhat similar to off-shoulder, cold shoulder sleeves are currently one of the most popular trends in the market. In this sleeve, you will either find a&nbsp;cut-out detailing at the shoulder or there will be straps holding the garment while the rest&nbsp;remains similar to a flowy off-shoulder.&nbsp;&nbsp;

While you may have hated matching your tops with your bottoms as a kid, if you wanna stay on top of trends in men’s fashion today, you will have to

While you may&nbsp;have&nbsp;hated matching your tops with your bottoms as a kid, if you wanna&nbsp;stay on top of trends in men&rsquo;s fashion today, you will have to change your mind about that. Co-ords, which basically means&nbsp;wearing a top that is in the same colour or pattern&nbsp;as your bottom, have been spotted on several celebrities this summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whether it&rsquo;s a trickle-down from the international runways or men copying their women&rsquo;s wardrobe,&nbsp;everyone from Hardik Pandya to Ayushmann Khurana have given this trend a thumbs up.&nbsp;
Similar to tone-on-tone dressing, this trend requires little effort to put together and you don&rsquo;t have to waste any time wondering what goes with which shorts or trousers.&nbsp;&nbsp;
But to make sure you don&rsquo;t like a walking mannequin, pay attention to the styling of this trend.&nbsp;Stick to clean black or white sneakers to complete this look. You can add a fun backpack or utility bag&nbsp;and complete your outfit with a pair of vintage-style sunglasses.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Whether you pick a tie-and-dye print or stick to bold colours, this is an easy breezy and uber comfortable fashion trend.&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;

Navratri is one of the most auspicious festivals in India. During the nine-day festival, many people fast to detox. Fasting not only enhances the digestive capacity of one&rsquo;s body but also ensures that the harmful toxins are flushed out.
So, if you are planning to fast this Navratri, we have got you covered. These are some amazing diet tips for Navratri fasting that will help you shed those extra kilos.
Keep yourself hydrated
Water is the best way to fight hunger pangs. It keeps you hydrated, and energetic all day long. Instead of drinking plain water, add lemon water, coconut water or buttermilk to your diet plan.
Don't miss seasonal fruits
Navratri is incomplete without seasonal fruits. Mangoes, grapes or even bananas in the form of salads, smoothies, fruit juices and raitas will keep you full all day long.
Reduce caffeine intake
Caffeine causes dehydration and leads to more food cravings. So replace coffee and aerated&nbsp;drinks with healthy drinks like green tea, tulsi or lemon tea.
Go for samak rice
Since we are skipping whole wheat flour, it is important to make sure the body gets its dose of fibre. For this, samak rice is the best because it is loaded with a high amount of fibre and essential minerals like iron and magnesium.&nbsp;
Avoid packaged and fried food
Instead of having fried or oily food such as pakoras, consume homemade healthy snacks and dry fruits, which are rich in calcium, potassium and zinc.
So use this Navratri as an excuse to achieve your fitness goals.

A latest study done by British scientists found that the active psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms is as effective as an antidepressant drug and can really help patients suffering&nbsp;from depression.&nbsp;
The research involved 59 patients with moderate to severe depression who got doses of&nbsp;psilocybin and antidepressant medicine&nbsp;escitalopram.
The latest study was conducted under specific controlled conditions with two therapists and a regulated dose formulated in laboratory conditions.&nbsp;It is advised that patients with depression should not try to self-medicate with magic mushrooms.
We are all aware that depression is one of the leading causes of ill health worldwide, and existing treatments are often ineffective or have adverse side effects that lead patients to stop taking them. So now the question on everybody's&nbsp;mind is -&nbsp;how effective will the magic mushrooms' active compound be?

We are well aware of the fact that our society neglects mental health illnesses and usually pushes conversations surrounding mental health under the carpet. Also, there is no test or scientific formula to discover these illnesses within people.&nbsp;
Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Indiana made history. For the last four years, these researchers were working on how precision medicine could change the lengthy process of getting a mental health diagnosis.
The research team worked with more than 300 participants, logging their blood biomarkers. For those who are not aware, blood biomarkers are characteristics in the blood, which can be read almost like signs into the health of a human.
Now, the team believes they know how to use these&nbsp;to read a patient for depression and bipolar disorder. It can also give highly specific advice about what kind of treatment would work best for that individual.
We're eagerly waiting for this to be implemented as this has the potential to revolutionise diagnoses related to mental health.

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!

The term sulfate-free&nbsp;shampoo has created a lot of buzz lately, but have you ever wondered what sulfate-free actually means?

We have&nbsp;all heard of the term Lactose intolerance, it happens when a person's body is not able to digest milk products. For those who are not aware, Lactose is a sugar found only in milk. It is also present in other dairy products, including cheese and ice cream.
If a person is lactose intolerant, their digestive system produces too little of an enzyme known as lactase, which is required to break down lactose. People with lactose intolerance experience symptoms like bloating, nausea and diarrhoea&nbsp;after consuming dairy products.
In this condition, non-dairy milk is the best option for you. If you're planning to add the same to your diet, these are some of the healthiest substitutes you can go for.
1. Almond Milk
Almond milk is a good alternative for dairy products. It is a low-calorie, highly nutritious milk. Almond Milk is also a great choice if you are trying to lose weight.
2. Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is also loaded with several benefits. It supports weight loss as well as improves metabolism. Solid coconut flesh is mixed with water to prepare coconut milk.
3. Soy Milk
Soy milk is another popular alternative to animal-based milk. It is rich in protein naturally and one should try sugar-free soy milk for better protein intake.
4. Oat Milk
Oat milk is simply prepared by mixing oats with water. It is good for your heart health as it helps in controlling bad cholesterol. It has a slightly sweet taste with a creamy and smooth texture
5. Rice Milk
Rice milk has a mild sweet taste. It is a good alternative for those who are lactose intolerant. It contains more carbs as compared to other non-dairy milk.
While there is no cure for lactose intolerance, people can avoid the repercussions&nbsp;by not consuming milk products or by taking lactase enzymes.

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;

Body piercings are not new to us, people have been getting pierced for centuries now. However fancy and cool this trend might seem, it definitely needs some great after care.
Piercing&nbsp;aftercare is important because pierced skin is extremely susceptible to infections which can lead to a lot of skin problems.&nbsp;
After the piercing is done make sure you keep the pierced area clean. Wash that area with soap and water or saline solution twice a day. Apply a small layer of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E oil as it will protect the pierced area from bacteria.
The healing process is very delicate and can take months. So make sure you don&rsquo;t dress up in something that would hurt your piercing by tugging on it. To prevent the piercing from closing, rotate the earrings gently while the skin is still wet.
Piercings are a very common practice but you still need to take good and consistent care of them to make sure you avoid infection, tissue damage, or losing the piercing altogether.
Be gentle with your piercings&nbsp;and&nbsp;enjoy your new fashion statement!
