NYC lawmakers ban flavoured vaping products

The New York City Lawmakers on Tuesday voted to ban all kinds of e-cigarettes and e-liquid flavours. The move comes in a bid to protect youngsters, among whom, the use of e-cigarettes has surged in recent years. Opponents of the ban were unhappy that they would lose their business and claimed that e-cigarettes have helped tobacco smokers quit. The ban, however, does not cover tobacco. The decision comes at a time when the US health officials grapple with a mysterious vaping lung disease that has killed 42 people across the country.

A new study has found that there might be a deeper relationship between physical activity and mental health than previously thought.
Research conducted before and during the pandemic revealed the average steps of subjects declined from 10,000 to 4,600 steps per day while rates of depression soared from 32 per cent to 61 per cent. Additionally, the study found that short-term restoration of exercise does not meaningfully improve mental well-being.
A co-author from the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science said, 'the results clearly show that those who maintained physical exercise throughout the pandemic were the most resilient and least likely to suffer from depression.'&nbsp;

Tocilizumab, a drug used to treat arthritis, could help lower risk of mortality caused due to Covid-19, according to a new study published in&nbsp;The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
The study was&nbsp;India&rsquo;s first multi-centre randomized controlled trial on the use of the drug to treat Covid-19.
It stated that the arthritis drug was found to be safe as the reported adverse events did not differ between patients who received the drug and those who received just standard care.

A mineral that the body only needs in small amounts but is essential for the working of hundreds of enzymes, zinc is an important part of your diet.&nbsp;
It helps cell growth, synthesizes proteins and plays a vital role in supporting a healthy immune system. Harvard Health recommends&nbsp;that adult women should consume 8mg of zinc per day, while for adult men the recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 11mg.&nbsp;
Being a key helper in building immune cells, even a mild deficiency of this mineral can weaken your immunity, so here are some foods rich in zinc!&nbsp;
Shellfish such as oysters, crab and lobster are the best sources of zinc. Incorporate any of them in your diet once a week to get your fill.&nbsp;
If you start your morning with oats, you'll be happy to know that they are another good source of this mineral with one serving taking care of half of your day's zinc needs.
Add some pumpkin seeds to this mix and you have your zinc needs for the day sorted.
If you love nuts, have some cashews or almonds or both! While cashews are a richer source of zinc, almonds also offer a decent amount.&nbsp;
One of the most versatile and nutritious veggie foods, chickpeas are also rich in zinc. So make some hummus or have a plate of chhole masala!&nbsp;

They don't call it the 'root of immortality' for nothing. Giloy or Guduchi in Hindi is a herb that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for years. &nbsp;
The herb is known for its immunity-boosting properties. A trove of antioxidants, Giloy helps the body fight various infections and purifies the blood.&nbsp;
It's anti-pyretic nature has found to be effective in the treatment of recurrent fevers in some studies. Thus, ayurvedic practitioners consider it effective in treating patients of dengue, malaria and swine flu.&nbsp;
In addition, it is believed the herb can aid skin regeneration and enhance the production of collagen. A paste made from Giloy leaves can be applied on wounds to accelerate recovery. &nbsp;
Diabetes patients or those with type-2 diabetes at least can benefit from Giloy consumption. As per studies, Giloy acts like a hypoglycaemic agent, which may also help in lowering blood sugar levels.&nbsp;
Experts, however, recommend that if you suffer from any kind of autoimmune diseases, it is best to avoid the herb since it may cause the immune system to become more active.&nbsp;
The best way to have it is in the form of a juice. Alternatively, you can mix some Guduchi powder with other things like amla or milk to extract its benefits.&nbsp;

Eye health is an important aspect of overall body health and there are some dietary habits that you can inculcate in your lifestyle to ensure that your eyes remain heal

Eye health is an important aspect of overall body health and there are some dietary habits that you can inculcate in your lifestyle to ensure that your eyes remain healthy and safe from chronic eye conditions. These could include cataracts, glaucoma and poor night vision.
Here&rsquo;s a list of foods that could help improve your eyesight:
Fish like salmon, is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and could be great for the eyes. These &lsquo;healthy fats&rsquo; are needed for vision development and retina health. They even help prevent dry eyes. If you&rsquo;re a vegetarian, add nuts like walnuts and almonds, and chia or flaxseeds to your diet.
To improve night vision and prevent the onset of cataract, include foods rich in vitamin A and Zinc in your diet. Dairy is a good source of both. Yogurt and milk are easy to make a part of your daily diet.
Eat your greens! Dark leafy greens and vegetables like spinach and kale contain two of the most essential antioxidants needed for healthy eyes, known as zeaxanthin and lutein. These antioxidants are stored in the Macula, which protects the eyes from damaging light. Eat at least three servings of greens per week to see a real difference.
There could definitely be some truth behind the age-old adage that rabbits never wear glasses and it&rsquo;s because they&rsquo;re always munching on carrots. Rich in beta-carotene, which is converted into Vitamin A by the body, carrots could promote healthy vision. Eat them raw as a snack or make some carrot soup!

Summers are incomplete without snacking on a cob of sweet corn. In India, people often relish the roasted corn on the cob, lovingly called bhutta. 
Apart from adding the much-needed crunch to any dish, corn is considered to be very nutritious too. The corn kernels, it is believed, contain a lower fat and calorie content in comparison to other cereal grains. This makes it a great snack if you're on a weight loss journey.
Rich in fibre, corn not only improves digestion but also keeps you feeling satiated for longer and may improve gut health.
Rich in antioxidant carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, corn is excellent for the eyes. Apart from this, it serves as a source of zinc, copper, iron and magnesium.
It also contains lycopene, which is known to enhance the production of collagen and boost skin health.
You can whip up a delectable corn salad, add them to your wraps, or just add some lemon and masala to make a sweet and sour corn snack.

One in four people in the world&nbsp;will suffer from hearing problems by 2050, the World Health Organization warned after the first-ever global report on hearing. According to the report, problems such as infections, diseases, birth defects, noise exposure and lifestyle choices can be prevented by extra investment in prevention and treatment. One in five people worldwide has hearing problems currently, it said. However, the report said the number of people with hearing loss may increase more than 1.5-fold during the next three decades to 2.5 billion people, up from 1.6 billion in 2019. Further, the report said that the expected rise will be due to demographic and population trends and in order to contain it, the report proposed a package of measures, which it calculated would cost $1.33 per person per year.&nbsp;

Eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day is associated with a reduced risk of early death, according to a new study released by the American Heart Association.&nbsp;
While two of these servings should be fruits, the other three should be vegetables. This amount offers the maximum benefits in terms of prevention of chronic diseases.
But, not all fruits and vegetables count!&nbsp;
The study suggests that starchy vegetables, peas, potatoes and corns do not offer the same benefits.
Green leafy vegetables, however, that are rich in vitamin C and beta carotene like spinach and kale, did show results.
Fruits including berries and citrus fruits were found to be beneficial. Fruit juice, however, did not fall in the category.

While you may love your morning cuppa, scientists say that drinking too much coffee can be detrimental to your heart health and could cause heart-related issues.

While you may love your morning cuppa, scientists say that drinking too much coffee can be detrimental&nbsp;to your heart health and could cause heart-related issues.
A study found that long-term, heavy coffee consumption - six or more cups a day - can increase the number of lipids (fats) in your blood to significantly heighten your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).&nbsp;
High levels of blood lipids are a known risk factor for heart disease, and coffee beans contain a very potent cholesterol-elevating compound called&nbsp;cafestol.&nbsp;
However, there is very little cafestol in filtered and instant coffee, so with respect to effects on lipids, those are good coffee choices, researchers noted in their study.&nbsp;

In what is being called a major medical breakthrough, a team of scientists in Bengaluru, have discovered a possible cure for Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists from the&nbsp;Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) in Jakkur, Bengaluru&nbsp;and an Indian-origin scientist at the&nbsp;KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, have developed a molecule called TGR63.
In animal studies, the molecule has shown the ability to disrupt the mechanism through which neurons become dysfunctional, leading to Alzheimer's.
It was effective in not only halting the disease but even reversing it. Mice with advanced stage of Alzheimer's showed improvement in thinking skills and memory within a span of a few days.&nbsp;Human trials of the molecule are the next step for the scientists.&nbsp;

Consuming a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates has many ill effects ranging from a higher risk of heart attacks to strokes, and even death finds a new study.

Consuming a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates has many ill effects ranging from a higher risk of heart attacks to strokes, and even death finds a new study.&nbsp;
The global study discovered that higher risks of a diet high in poor quality carbs, called a high glycemic diet, were similar in both people who had previous cardiovascular disease and people who did not. White bread, rice, and potatoes have a high glycemic index.
In contrast, diets rich in high-quality carbohydrates such as fruit, vegetables, and legumes have beneficial effects, researchers noted publishing their findings in the&nbsp;New England Journal of Medicine.

A great workout not only takes you closer to your fitness goal but also helps you feel mentally and physically stronger. But you must remember, that a good workout doesn't end at the gym. What you eat after a workout is as important as what you eat before it. The right kind of food will help your body recover faster, build muscle and prepare your for the next workout.
When you work out, muscles use up glycogen energy stores, even muscle proteins may get damaged, therefore a combination of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and carbohydrates is needed by the body.
Lets begin with hydration. If you want your body set for the next day's performance, you need to ensure you're well hydrated. Experts suggest keeping an eye on the colour of your urine to determine the level of hydration. Drinking water as per the intensity of your workout is important, because you have to replenish what you lose in the form of sweat.
Here's what your meal should include post an intensive workout. You have to choose foods which are easy to digest, to amplify absorption of nutrients.
#1 Protein Exercise often leads to the breakdown of muscle proteins, so it is extremely important to consume a good amount of protein. This helps your body get the amino acids required to repair and rebuild these lost proteins. Your meal can comprise of eggs, chicken, quinoa, cottage cheese or greek yoghurt.
# Carbohydrates Including carbs in your post workout meal will help restore the lost glycogen stores which your body uses up as fuel. You can include sweet potatoes, wholegrain pasta, rice or oats.
# Good Fats While you may have set a goal to burn fat, eating fats after your workout is also important. The key lies in not over-eating. You can include a mixture of seeds, walnuts, nut butters or fatty fish.

Are you styling your hair too much? You may be damaging it beyond measure. Here's a breakdown of what too much colouring and perming could do to your tresses.

Are you styling your hair too much? You may be damaging it beyond measure. Here's a breakdown of what too much colouring and perming&nbsp;could do to your tresses.&nbsp;
According to WebMD, frequently highlighting and colouring your hair damages it internally, leading to dryness and lack of lustre.&nbsp;
Perming or chemically curling or straightening your hair breaks the inner bonds and reforms them in a new manner, thus weakening your hair.
Brushing your hair multiple times in a day seems like an easy way of smoothening&nbsp;them. But research shows that overbrushing&nbsp;causes too much friction, leading to split ends.&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you are tired of losing hair, take a look at the benefits of onion juice, which may work wonders.
