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.
Onion juice is considered to have nutrients that nourish hair follicles, leading to enhanced volume and hair strength.

Apply the juice on the scalp or the roots. To reduce the odour, mix onion juice with any essential oil. Always do a patch test before applying, as it may cause allergies.

Who doesn't want a good hair day? But often&nbsp;the kind of tresses we have depend on a number of factors like genes, hormones, age and climate of the area you live in, which you can't control. But&nbsp;one thing you can control is your diet, which&nbsp;also&nbsp; has a massive impact on the texture of your hair.
We take you through a host of foods that you must avoid if you suffer from hair damage and excessive hair fall.&nbsp;
1. Alcohol impacts the nutritional balance of the hair and leads to dead hair follicles.Too much alcohol destroys synthesis of keratin, the protein found in our hair.&nbsp; 2. Refined grains and starchy foods like white bread, pasta, croissants, cakes break down into sugar in the body, which in turn causes hair thinning and ultimately hair fall.&nbsp; 3. Fish is loaded with mercury, which could lead to sudden hair loss. Climate change over the past few years has&nbsp;lead&nbsp;to an increase in the content of methyl-mercury in fish, which could cause hair damage.&nbsp; 4. Full of artificial sweeteners, diet sodas are a strict no if you're looking to get healthy, lustrous&nbsp;hair without any hair fall.&nbsp; 5. Junk food hampers hair growth as well and could weaken hair follicles, leading to excessive hair fall.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Experts however don't recommend completely stopping the consumption of these foods and beverages but limiting their intake could help maintain the quality of your hair in the long run.

If you're planning to hit the gym, it is very important to monitor what you eat before your workout. The body needs fuel in order to perform to its full capacity to achieve your&nbsp;desired body goals.
We often hear of people working out on an empty stomach, hoping they would be able get rid of accumulated fat and in turn lose weight. However, experts have warned of the negative consequences associated with this. You may feel hungry in the middle of your exercise, leading to exhaustion and a lower intensity workout than what you intended.
On the other hand, you don't want your stomach to be too full, this may again interfere with the workout and make you feel sluggish, hindering you from giving in your best. So experts recommend choosing a middle ground.
While it depends on the kind of workout you do, a pre workout meal must comprise of a mix carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Carbs will give you that energy to glide through the exercise regimen while protein will build and repair muscles. But while choosing carbs, go in for complex carbohydrates that give energy gradually over a longer period of time. While choosing fats, go in for healthy, unsaturated ones.
Here's a list of the foods you can eat, based on the macro-nutrients
If you're looking for complex carbs, go in for things like lentils, beans, oats, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and broccoli. Whole grain bread or whole grain pasta also makes for a good choice. If you're looking for simple carbs, fruits make the cut. Bananas are are a great choice, they're a good source of potassium and antioxidants too.
You have to be cautious when it comes to choosing the right kind of fats. The body takes time to digest fats when compared to carbohydrates and may not be able to break them down before a workout. Some good fats can be found in nuts, seeds and avocados.
Protein-rich foods that make a good pre-workout snack include eggs, lean fish like tuna and salmon, chicken, nuts, peanut butter, protein rich yoghurt and soy. If building muscle is your goal, make sure you include adequate protein in your diet.
Overall, a good balanced meal with all the required nutrients is a must! The closer you are to the time of the workout, the meals must be easy to digest and simpler in a bid to avoid tummy troubles. Also remember, hydration is key. Staying hydrated has been linked to better performance so consume a good amount of water. The American College of Sports Medicine suggests drinking 0.5 to 0.6 litres of water at least 4 hours before working out. Some experts even recommend drinking beverages rich in sodium as it may help the body retain fluids.
So if you're looking to ace your workout, watch what you eat!

One in every five hospitalised Covid-19 patients reported&nbsp;hair loss within six months of being infected with Covid-19, a new study shows.
A team of Chinese experts studied patients discharged last year from a hospital in&nbsp;Wuhan, the place where the pandemic originated.&nbsp;Of the 1655 participants, 22% reported hair loss while&nbsp;many others said they experienced&nbsp;muscle weakness, anxiety, smell disorder and sleeping difficulty among other symptoms.
A higher percentage of women reported these symptoms compared to men, the study claimed. While the long-term health consequences of Covid-19 remain unclear, the study published in The Lancet also found that most patients had at least one symptom after 6 months.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is associated with symptoms like heartburn, may enhance the risk of cancers of the larynx and esophagus, a new study

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which is associated&nbsp;with symptoms like heartburn, may enhance the risk of cancers of the larynx and esophagus, a new study published in journal Cancer suggests.
For the study, a team led by scientists of the National Cancer Institute, which is a part of the US National Institutes of Health, analyzed information on close to 5 lakh adults.
24% of the participants had a history of GERD and they concluded after 16 years that 931 patients developed esophageal adenocarcinoma, 876 developed laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and 301 developed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Even though more research is needed to ascertain the findings, their study claimed that people with GERD were at two times higher risk of developing these cancers.

The&nbsp;Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in a 'new normal' of which paranoia seems to be a natural part.
Experts have now confirmed that 'pandemic paranoia' is a real thing.&nbsp;
According to a CNN&nbsp;report, paranoid thoughts come about as a result of the stress, uncertainty and misinformation increasingly floating around in these tough times.
The economic misery and social disruption caused due to the lockdown across the globe has worsened issues like depression and drug addiction.
Paranoia it seems is as widespread as Covid-19 itself or probably more, according to the CNN&nbsp;report.&nbsp;

Childhood exposure to air pollution, including&nbsp;wildfire smoke and car exhaust, for even short periods of time, can lead to higher rates of heart disease and other ailments in adulthood, says a new Stanford-led&nbsp;study.&nbsp;
Published in&nbsp;Nature Scientific Reports, the study&nbsp;confirms previous research that bad air can alter gene regulation in a way that may impact long-term health.
Exposure to fine particulate known as PM2.5, carbon monoxide and ozone over time was linked to a&nbsp;change in gene expression which may be passed down to future generations.

Expecting mothers who consume a diet high in salt and sugar from processed food may increase the likelihood of&nbsp;birthing children at high obesity risk.
"Children born to mothers who eat a low-quality diet&mdash;high in inflammation-associated foods&mdash;during pregnancy may be more likely to have obesity or excess body fat," a University College Dublin representative said in a statement.
The&nbsp;evidence collected from 16,295 mother-child pairs points to the first 1,000 days of life -- from conception to two years old -- as a critical period for preventing childhood obesity.
The&nbsp;research suggests that promoting an overall healthy diet, high in fruit and vegetables and low in refined carbohydrates and red and processed meats, throughout pregnancy may help prevent childhood obesity.

Hormones play a key role in regulating our mood, appetite, weight and much more. In today&rsquo;s fast-paced lifestyle, hormonal imbalances have become a common occurrence among many. In general, the endocrine glands produce the exact amount of necessary hormones required for the body&rsquo;s functioning but age and lifestyle changes can sometimes create an imbalance. Making some nutrition-driven changes to your diet can help bring this balance back to normal:&nbsp;
Add a wholesome amount of protein to every meal. This can help trigger the production of key hormones. Ideally, you should consume 20&ndash;30 grams of protein per meal. Get your protein from fish, chicken, tofu or nuts. &nbsp;
Foods that are rich in fibre like oranges, beets, carrots and guava could help regulate insulin levels in the body.&nbsp;
Try to include a variety of natural fats in your diet and avoiding unhealthy trans fats to reduce insulin resistance. You can include foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as fish and seafood, plant oils, eggs and milk to your regular diet. &nbsp;
It is also equally important to control the amount of sugar-heavy foods, drinks and refined carbs that you consume on a daily basis as they can often increase insulin sensitivity or decrease insulin levels. &nbsp;

Any Indian would say their dal tadka is incomplete without ajwain. Also called carom seeds, this spice has a rich aromatic flavour, and is often compared to thyme.&nbsp;
Ajwain has long been used in Ayurveda to get rid of indigestion and gas. Extracts found in the spice may also help relieving peptic ulcers or sores in the small intestine, stomach and esophagus. You can drink ajwain in water to get relief.
Carom seeds may help ease congestion and common cold because of their thymol content. Thymol has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe congestion. Crush the spice and mix with jaggery. Take the mixture a few times a day!
Anti-inflammatory properties of ajwain could also help you reduce&nbsp;arthritis-related joint&nbsp;pain. All you've got to do is add a spoonful of seeds in a tub of warm water and soak the joints giving you pain. Alternatively, you can apply a paste on the affected areas.
