Sugar fructose-rich diet may damage immune system: study

A British study has found&nbsp;that consuming a diet high in sugar fructose might prevent the proper functioning of our immune systems in more ways than we know.
Fructose is commonly found in sugary drinks, sweets, and processed foods and is widely associated with obesity.
Published in the journal Nature Communications, the&nbsp;study shows that fructose causes the immune system to become inflamed which can&nbsp;damage cells and tissues and lead to organs not working as they should and later disease.&nbsp;

Thanks&nbsp;to the unwavering heat in summers, our body gets dehydrated very easily&nbsp;in the hotter months. This is why it's essential to drink enough fluids during this difficult time.&nbsp;While&nbsp;nothing quite beats the thirst like good old water, you can also drink some fruit juices if you want more&nbsp;energy while sipping on something yummy.
Here are some fruits that you can juice and relish this summer!&nbsp;&nbsp;
SWEET LEMONADE
Drinking lemon water in summer is an unbeatable health fix. Lemons are rich in vitamin C&nbsp;and lemonade is a delicious way to keep your breath fresh. It is&nbsp;also good for digestion&nbsp;and helps beat fatigue.&nbsp;
WATERMELON JUICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;ve been drinking lots of water but feel like plain water is just not enough to quench your thirst, this is the drink for you. Gorge on hydrating watermelons to keep your body cool. Whether eaten fresh or made into a juice, watermelons will boost your energy levels&nbsp;and help de-stress your body from the summer heat.&nbsp;&nbsp;
POMEGRANATE JUICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Notorious for being one of the hardest fruit to peel, pomegranates are rich in vitamin A, C and E. Pomegranates also contain folic acid, antioxidants and antiviral properties making them a great fruit to eat&nbsp;and juice in this weather. The fact that they have such great health benefits and taste yum makes them a firm favourite for many!
SUGARCANE JUICE&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nothing says summer quite like a refreshing glass of&nbsp;ganne&nbsp;ka juice. Sugarcane&nbsp;is super sweet but also a great source of&nbsp;sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Together, these nutrients in a glass of sugarcane juice ensure that you never feel lethargic from the heat.&nbsp;&nbsp;
COCONUT WATER&nbsp;&nbsp;
Another summer staple that we all know and love, the benefits of coconut water are well known.&nbsp;Vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and fibre are all found aplenty in coconut water. Coconut water&nbsp;is so&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;that some even consume it as an energy drink before or after workouts.&nbsp;
Juices are a great way to stay hydrated in the summer but just make sure that you are drinking them fresh and without any added sugars!&nbsp;&nbsp;

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming lives but is making people restless and causing immense stress. It's natural to feel low during these unprecedented times because it is becoming increasingly difficult to&nbsp;gauge when we might get a sense of normalcy back.
However, do remember that while physical health is extremely important, one should not ignore one's mental health, especially during a pandemic. Here are some of the things you can consider doing to calm yourself down during&nbsp;these terrible times.&nbsp;
Meditate
Meditation can be an effective way to minimise stress and improve your mental health. Whether you choose to follow an in-person guide or download an app on your phone, there are many resources that can train you to relax and breathe in this mindful way.
Exercise
Physical activity can be a game-changer to tackle mental health issues. There are lots of options, just be sure to choose an activity that you enjoy doing, so you&rsquo;re more motivated to stick with it. Moderate levels of cardio,&nbsp;aerobic exercise or a dance class are some excellent options to consider.
 Eat healthy
One element that can contribute to poor mental health is eating junk food. Instead of opting for processed or junk foods, focus on more natural choices such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fish and nuts. Good food contributes to a better lifestyle that promotes positive mental health.
Try some self-care apps
Mental health apps help users by providing techniques for coping with mental stress, anxiety and other disorders. The applications like Headspace, Calm, Happify, Breath2Relax and others can be utilised to feel less stressed, improve your mood and make you feel happier and healthier.
When your mental health improves, positive changes can occur in every aspect of your life. Always remember to take it at your own pace. Do things that make you happy and stay away from news that might cause you undue distress. It's perfectly fine to take a minute for yourself!

There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with enjoying some dessert once in a while or nibbling on something sweet when your heart gets a craving. But sugar is a notorious food group that is often hidden in plain sight in so many of the things we eat, often on a regular basis.&nbsp;
Added sugars can creep into your diet and cause&nbsp;harm without letting you even realise what is happening.&nbsp;It is okay to have sugar as long as you&rsquo;re able to keep a watchful eye on your intake.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Here are some foods that we eat regularly that often feature hidden sugars in bulk!&nbsp;&nbsp;
PASTA SAUCES&nbsp;
While they don&rsquo;t taste sweet, packaged pasta sauces are high in sugar content. You&rsquo;ll find as much as 6 to 12 grams of sugar in just half a cup of pasta sauce, which is similar to the sugars in one chocolate cookie.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PROTEIN BARS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Granola or protein bars are touted to be a healthy snack but be careful before eating them on a daily basis. Many of these bars are made with&nbsp;sweeteners like corn syrup, brown sugar, honey, dextrose and fructose.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FLAVOURED YOGHURT&nbsp;
Yoghurt is a great source of calcium and protein but the story of flavoured yoghurts isn&rsquo;t exactly the same. Apart from the naturally&nbsp;occurring sugars, these yoghurts are pumped with sweeteners. One serving of flavoured yoghurt can have as much as 17 to 33 grams of sugar.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SALAD DRESSING&nbsp;&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re eating salads in hopes of living healthier, you must keep this in mind. Salad dressing, especially the sweeter&nbsp;kinds, can pack a lot of sugar. With 5 to 7 grams of sugar in just two spoons of dressing, you&rsquo;ll be much safer making&nbsp;your own vinegar and oil dressings at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;
TEA AND COFFEE&nbsp;&nbsp;
When you make your own tea or coffee, you have complete control over the sugar. But many leading brands of iced&nbsp;or&nbsp;pre-brewed tea and&nbsp;flavoured&nbsp;coffees can be loaded with&nbsp;high amounts of&nbsp;this sweet but deadly component.&nbsp;Sometimes even more than a can of fruit juice!&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating or not eating sugar is your personal dietary choice but it is better to avoid foods that suspiciously&nbsp;sneak added sugars into your diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The coronavirus crisis has taken over the entire country once again. India now&nbsp;has&nbsp;the&nbsp;second-highest&nbsp;number of novel&nbsp;coronavirus cases, as the&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;infection continues to spread.
Health experts have repeatedly stressed the importance of wearing&nbsp;masks, hand washing&nbsp;and social distancing. But it is just as important to maintain a healthy, immunity-boosting diet to help you protect yourself from the virus.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WHO&nbsp;RECOMMENDATIONS&nbsp;&nbsp;
The World Health Organisation recommends that you&nbsp;consume&nbsp;sufficient amounts&nbsp;of vitamins, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and protein in your meals.&nbsp;Eat as many fresh fruits and&nbsp;vegetables&nbsp;as you can and drink&nbsp;3 to 5 litres of warm water every day to&nbsp;stay in good health.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 What other dietary changes can&nbsp;you make to improve your immunity?&nbsp;&nbsp;
CUT DOWN YOUR SUGAR INTAKE&nbsp;
According to a WHO report, it may be a good idea to reduce your intake of sugary foods.&nbsp;Do not eat more than 6 teaspoons of sugar in a day. If you want to eat something sweet, then add fresh fruits to your diet so that you can handle your cravings in a healthy way.&nbsp;&nbsp;
AVOID UNHEALTHY FATS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Eating too many fat-rich foods may not be a great idea.&nbsp;A person should consume only 30% of fat-rich items in a day. Make sure you get your fats not from potato chips&nbsp;but healthy sources like homemade ghee, nuts and seeds or avocados.&nbsp;&nbsp;
EAT MORE LENTILS AND BEANS&nbsp;
Consuming more protein and fibre should be your top priority. Apart from these values, lentils and beans are also good sources of vitamins and minerals. Stock up on lentils and beans as they are easy to cook and highly&nbsp;nutritious.&nbsp;&nbsp;
WATCH YOUR SODIUM INTAKE&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to WHO, consuming too much salt can prove to be harmful. Avoid consuming more than 5 grams of salt in a day. Remember, fast food or packaged meals are heavy and can be hidden sources of too much salt.&nbsp;
Apart from checking your diet and staying hydrated, keep in mind that getting enough rest and 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night can also do wonders for your health.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tea tree oil is a popular oil to use for skin remedies. This essential oil comes from the leaves of a small tree native to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. The oil not only helps treat certain skin conditions but also promotes wound healing.
Because of its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, Tea tree oil can be incorporated to treat several skin issues such as acne, itching and inflammation. The use of this oil is believed&nbsp; to calm redness and swelling. Dilute a few drops of tea tree oil into your face wash or moisturiser and feel the difference.
One can also use the oil to treat dandruff and to keep the hair healthy and moisturised. Apply a mixture of tea tree oil and a carrier oil to your hair and scalp. Allow it to stay in your hair for 20 minutes. Add&nbsp;a few drops of the oil to your shampoo, massage it into your scalp and hair for a few minutes before rinsing.
However, one should always be cautious before using tea tree oil, it's better to do a patch test first. Never apply it directly to your hair or skin and dilute it with whatever product you are using.

Summers are officially here and it's the perfect time to update your wardrobe for the hotter months. While it's normal to associate hot pants and casual t-shirts with the season, we think you should not forget about the easy breezy allure of summer sarees.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sarees are the perfect way to embrace desi fashion and make a style statement while you&rsquo;re at it.&nbsp;Some people often associate sarees with&nbsp;occasion&nbsp;wear but this versatile garment works just as well for casual, every day wearing as well.&nbsp;
Here is a review of some saree styles that every person should have in their summer wardrobe!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
COLOURFUL FLORALS&nbsp;
Summer isn&rsquo;t complete without a good, bright floral print. And with none other than Sabyasachi promoting the print, who are we to shy away from it! Invest in&nbsp;as many&nbsp;colourful floral sarees&nbsp;as you like as this is one look that will always be on-trend, summer after summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
VARIANTS OF WHITE&nbsp;
With all the colour and sunshine overload, many people prefer to stick to whites in the summer. A white shirt is after all a wardrobe must-have! Well, so is a good white saree.&nbsp;Whether you like it with a gold border, some sequins or a sprinkle of colour, it is hard to go wrong with a&nbsp;stylish&nbsp;white saree&nbsp;this summer season.&nbsp;&nbsp;
HAND PRINTED INDIGO&nbsp;&nbsp;
Bagru&nbsp;is a traditional Rajasthani printing technique that produces the most eye-catching indigo fabrics.&nbsp;A local&nbsp;hand-printed&nbsp;artisanal&nbsp;work, indigo&nbsp;sarees&nbsp;are&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;and no pieces ever look the same. The soft cotton sarees are easy to breathe in, affordable&nbsp;and look stunning as well!&nbsp;
GO FOR ORGANZA&nbsp;&nbsp;
Nothing says summer quite like the feeling of crisp organza.&nbsp;Sarees in organza look ethereal and rich but are very light and comfortable to wear on hot days. Whether&nbsp;it&rsquo;s a daytime wedding or a late brunch, the natural sheen in organza makes it the perfect saree for all&nbsp;occasions.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SOFT&nbsp;PASTEL COLOURS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Not a fan of bright highlighter colours? Go for soft, pastel hues that look subtle yet chic. The light colours keep you cooler as they attract less light and give fresh spring vibes. Pastel cotton sarees are also a favourite of Bollywood stars, thanks to their comfortable versatility.
So which summer saree&nbsp;are you going to be donning this season?

Stinging and burning prickly heat in summers can be extremely annoying. These rashes make children and adults alike, uncomfortable and itchy all day long. Treating heat

Stinging and burning prickly heat in summers can be extremely annoying. These rashes make children and adults alike, uncomfortable and itchy all day long. Treating heat rashes with home remedies is a great way to deal with them. Keep watching to learn a few such natural methods that you can try at home.
Ice cube massage
One of the best ways to relieve heat rash is to cool the skin down. Wrap 2-3 ice cubes in a cotton cloth or handkerchief and gently massage it on the heat rashes. This will give you immediate relief but do not leave the ice pack on for a long period as it can cause redness.
Papaya and wheat paste
Crush a slice of ripe papaya and make a paste, now add wheat flour to it. Apply this paste on the prickly heat and massage it with light hands. This will give you a lot of relief and you can easily use this paste twice a day.
Yogurt paste
Chilled yogurt can be extremely beneficial in getting rid of heat&nbsp;rashes. For this, take half a bowl of cold curd and add mint juice to it. Keep the prepared paste in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Now, apply this mixture on the prickly heat and then go ahead and wash it off in the shower. This paste can also be used twice a day without any adverse effects.
Oatmeal and milk paste
Mix one teaspoon of oatmeal in half a bowl of cold milk. Keep the mixture in the fridge to cool down for about 10-15 minutes. This paste can be applied several times a day to the affected areas. It can help in enhancing the skin quality along with stopping the prickly heat from getting worse.&nbsp;
The best part about these remedies is that they are completely safe for both adults and children and will not harm your skin.&nbsp;But every skin type reacts differently so do your research see what suits you best.&nbsp;

Side Effects Of Watermelon: Watermelons are the most refreshing fruit to gorge on in the hot months making it a summer staple in all homes.

Watermelons are the most refreshing fruit to gorge on in&nbsp;the hot months making it a summer staple in all homes.&nbsp;The fruit&nbsp;is&nbsp;loaded with vitamin A and C, it is about 92 per cent water&nbsp;and&nbsp;still&nbsp;low on calories. The sweet fruit tastes great alone&nbsp;or it can be used in juices, salads and even to make sorbets.&nbsp;&nbsp;
However, too much of anything can quickly lead to negative after-effects.&nbsp;If you love eating lots of watermelon in summer, you might want to re-evaluate your consumption.
Let&rsquo;s take a look at the adverse effects of&nbsp;eating&nbsp;too much watermelon.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>STOMACH TROUBLES</h3>
Watermelon is rich in lycopene, but if you&rsquo;re eating a lot of it every day, you could potentially become a victim of&nbsp;nausea,&nbsp;diarrhoea, indigestion and bloating, according to the&nbsp;American Cancer Society.&nbsp;
<h3>CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS</h3>
People with high potassium content in their body or those who suffer from serious&nbsp;hyperkalaemia&nbsp;should not eat more than about one cup of watermelon a day. Over consumption&nbsp;can&nbsp;result in irregular heartbeat and other cardiovascular problems, says the US National Institute of Health.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>WATER INTOXICATION&nbsp;</h3>
While hydration is important for the body, overeating watermelon may cause water intoxication. Also known as over hydration, this condition can&nbsp;deplete the body&rsquo;s sodium content and cause swelling in the legs, exhaustion and weak kidneys in extreme cases.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So how much watermelon can you eat in a day? According to health experts and nutritionists,&nbsp;you can eat anywhere between 100 to&nbsp;150 grams of this fruit in a day.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The royal family bid farewell to Prince Philip on Saturday, restricted by coronavirus guidelines. The Duke of Edinburgh, who died on April 9 at age 99, was laid to rest

The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton was seen in an all-black ensemble that consisted of a Roland Mouret dress at Prince Philip's funeral. However, what stood out in the look was a gorgeous pearl and diamond neckpiece she wore.
Featuring four strands of pearls and a diamond clasp, the piece was reportedly a gift to Queen Elizabeth II from the Japanese government. Additionally, the heirloom was worn by Princess Diana as well, in 1982.

The Holy month of Ramadan is here again and will continue for the next 30 days. During this month, devotees observe long day fasts and are not allowed to have food and water till evening or Iftar time.
Fasting all day naturally makes you feel tired and hungry. So, it is important to first replenish the lost liquids instead of consuming foods that might make you feel bloated. These are some essential fasting tips one should keep in mind during this time.&nbsp;
Sehri or pre-dawn meal
It is important to consume foods that will quench your thirsts such as cucumber, zucchini, buttermilk, curd, melon and banana. To keep one feeling full and energetic while fasting, include complex carbohydrates in your meal like oats, jowar, ragi, sugar-free muesli along with whole wheat.
Iftar meal
The first meal after a long day of fasting should be kept light. One should consume foods that give instant electrolytes and raise your sugar levels. The best way to replace dehydration is to break your fast with coconut water or salty lemon water. This is why traditionally Iftar includes a lot of drinks, fruits and dates.
Dinner meal
For your main course consume a lot of&nbsp;carbs, proteins and high fibre vegetables. Carbs could be in the form of sweet potato or rice or even&nbsp;millets. Get your daily dose of proteins from meat, chicken, fish or dal.
What to avoid?
Avoid sugar, desserts, fruit juices and aerated drinks as they will leave you with cravings and low energy levels, especially when you have to fast the very next day.

World Hemophilia Day is observed on 17th April every year to raise awareness about Hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. Since 17 April marks the birth anniversary of Frank Schnabel, the founder of the World Federation of Hemophilia, World Hemophilia Day is also held on the same date.
Hemophilia&nbsp;is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding as well as bleeding following injuries or even during surgery.&nbsp;It usually happens&nbsp;because of a defect&nbsp;in one of the clotting factor genes on the X chromosome.
Every year, since 1989, the entire bleeding disorders community reunites to celebrate advances in the treatment. The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) was established in 1963 and over the past fifty years, the WFH has worked globally to achieve "Treatment for All" people with Hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. This year, the theme of World Hemophilia Day is 'Adapting to Change'.

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.

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.
