Soon, you could be served genetically-modified salmon!

In an effort to serve better quality salmon, restaurants in the United States may soon make a shift to genetically-modified salmon. An Associated Press article highlights the work that is being carried out by an Indiana-based company, AquaBounty with their growing population of modified salmon. While its salmon won’t be available for sale until late 2020, AquaBounty is the first company to receive U.S. approval for consumption of its GMO animals. To produce its fish, AquaBounty has injected Atlantic salmon with DNA from other fish species that make them grow to a full size in about 18 months, which could be about twice as fast as regular salmon.

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.

Supermodel Kendall Jenner&nbsp;recently announced the launch of her own brand of tequila on Instagram. 'For almost 4 years I&rsquo;ve been on a journey to create the best-tasting tequila,' the fashion it-girl wrote in a post.
But not everyone is pleased with Jenner's 818 Tequila. The Kardashian&nbsp;sister has been accused of exploiting Mexican culture for personal profit by people on social media.
'Tequila production is traditionally a family business in Mexico. I think it&rsquo;s disgusting that another rich white celeb is appropriating Mexican culture,' reads one of the comments on Kendall's post.
While others were just amused that Jenner&nbsp;still doesn't know how to drink tequila properly. "It took her 4 years to create a &ldquo;good tequila&rdquo; and then she proceeds to drink it with ice," one comment read.

Ever felt like even packaged food tastes different in one country compared to another? A food writer's analysis of food labels from supermarkets in the US and UK has proved that this is because the ingredients are actually different.
Food influencer&nbsp;Vani Hari&nbsp;shared on Instagram&nbsp;that there's a massive difference in ingredients used in both countries. Packaged food from the same brand is loaded with way more&nbsp;artificial colours, additives and flavouring agents in the US compared to its European counterpart.
The post has proved to be a big hit for Hari&nbsp;and has already been liked over 10,000 times.&nbsp;

A healthy breakfast often comes with a bowl of oats! Did you know that besides being extremely simple to cook and healthy, oats could also help you in your weight loss

A healthy breakfast often comes with a bowl of oats! Did you know that besides being extremely simple to cook and healthy, oats could also help you in your weight loss journey?
You could include oats in your meal plan for the entire day but it is not advisable to stick to the same food for long, according to experts.

Are you one of those people who find it hard to start their day without a cup of tea or coffee? Here is a food alternative that could give you that energy boost that you crave to kick start&nbsp;the day.
You might have heard of the adage that 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away.' But did you know that one medium-sized apple has about&nbsp;13g of natural sugar which can provoke a response similar to that of caffeine in the body! Apples can help you stay alert for longer as the body takes a long time to digest this wholesome fruit.
An apple in the morning would give you what is known as 'sustained' energy throughout the day due to its rich content of fibre and several vitamins, which may even help balance blood sugar levels in your body.
While coffee and apple are both truly very different food products, the latter is definitely a healthier option if an energy boost is what you need!&nbsp;

Before you begin your day with a warm cuppa, here&rsquo;s a crackdown of the teas that help you keep your immunity guard up. Available in many hues of the colour palette, from green to white and black, teas are believed to boost immunity, keep inflammation at bay and ward off heart diseases.&nbsp;
Green tea is rich in antioxidants, which may induce fat loss when coupled with regular exercise. Loaded with polyphenols and catechin called EGCG, it can reduce inflammation, prevent cell damage while maintaining a healthy immune system.&nbsp;
The calming properties of peppermint even translate into peppermint tea. It contains methanol that works wonders in curing an upset stomach, ridding you off motion sickness and irritable bowel syndrome. This variety of tea may also relieve symptoms of headache and migraine.&nbsp;
Extracts found in hibiscus are known to benefit the liver. Hibiscus tea may help stimulate drug-detoxifying enzymes. The warm cup of goodness may even relieve menstrual cramps and slow down the process of ageing.&nbsp;
So don't shy away from starting your day with the aromatic flavours of these teas and bolster your immunity along the way.&nbsp;
