While the nation's fight with the spread of coronavirus&nbsp;is far from over, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has found another virus from China that has the potential to spread disease in India.&nbsp;
In a study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research, scientists from India have noted the presence of antibodies against the Cat Que virus (CQV) in two human serum samples.&nbsp;
Presence of CQV&nbsp;has so far been largely reported in mosquitoes in China and pigs in Vietnam.&nbsp;The study, which was conducted in 2017-2018, was undertaken to develop diagnostic tests for CQV as the spread of similar species of Culex mosquitoes was observed in India.&nbsp;
ICMR&nbsp;noted in the study that 'antibody positivity&nbsp;and the replication capability of CQV in mosquitoes indicated a possible disease-causing potential of CQV in the Indian scenario.' Adding that testing of more human and swine samples is imperative&nbsp;for 'understanding the prevalence of this neglected tropical virus.'&nbsp;

In India and abroad, heart attacks and cardiovascular disorders are on a constant rise and take millions of lives every year. Such an increase points to the fact that there is something inherently wrong with the way we're going about our lives. So where are we going wrong?&nbsp;
Dr. Shikha&nbsp;Sharma of NutriHealth&nbsp;asks cardiology expert Dr. Alejandro Junger&nbsp;the big question, 'what should we eat and avoid for a healthier heart?'&nbsp;

World Heart Day is celebrated every year on the 29th of September. This year around, it falls in the middle of a global pandemic.
Doctors from the&nbsp;Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh&nbsp;are urging people to maintain a healthy lifestyle as Covid-19 could lead to two kinds of cardiac complications.&nbsp; The one which is acute occurs during the infection, while the other is chronic and sets in once the patient has recovered from Covid-19.
Thus doctors urge Covid-19 patients to be evaluated for both an underlying heart disease or the manifestation of a new one. This is especially true for elderly people with hypertension or chronic respiratory disease.
Experts also believe that engaging in activities like smoking and alcohol consumption could be on the rise with the growing psychological&nbsp;stress in the community, thus increasing the risk of heart disease.

In what is being called a major milestone, the World Health Organisation shared that a new global test could detect Covid-19 in minutes.&nbsp;
This will help detect cases in&nbsp;low and middle-income countries across the globe. This&nbsp;$5 test will be especially&nbsp;beneficial in areas that lack enough healthcare workers and laboratories.&nbsp;
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus&nbsp;shared that the new test will provide results in 15 to 20 minutes and over the next 6 months, manufacturers&nbsp;will provide 120 million tests.

Marking World Heart Day with a grim statement, the World Heart Federation says that Covid-19 is&nbsp;creating a perfect storm for heart disease.
WHF&nbsp;explained that&nbsp;Covid-19 patients with heart disease are among those with the highest risk of death and severe complications.&nbsp;
Second, mounting&nbsp;research has revealed that&nbsp;the heart might be adversely affected by the virus even in people without pre-existing conditions.&nbsp;
And finally,&nbsp;fear of the virus has led to a sharp decline in hospital visits by heart patients for routine and emergency care.
This trifecta is the reason why the global health community needs to unite now more than ever to beat cardiovascular disease,&nbsp;which kills 17.9 million people every year.
WHF&nbsp;has also&nbsp;launched a global study&nbsp;on heart disease and coronavirus&nbsp;to better understand outcomes and risk.

The first person known to have been cured of HIV infection, Timothy Ray Brown, is now suffering from a relapse of cancer, he told the Associated Press in an interview. Brown, who is also called the 'Berlin patient' because of the place he was at the time of treatment, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2006 and HIV in the 1990s. After a transplant from a donor with a rare resistance to the AIDS virus, it was believed that his leukemia and HIV infection was cured. The 54 year old still shows no signs of HIV&nbsp;but his cancer returned in 2019. He said in an interview that it has spread widely and he is receiving hospice care in California. Speaking of his transplant he added he was glad he got it done as it opened new doors for scientists to find a cure.

Saad Bhamla, who did his under graduation&nbsp;from Mumbai and is now an assistant&nbsp;professor at&nbsp;Georgia Institute of Technology, was inspired by his grandparents to create a low-cost hearing aid device.&nbsp;
Together with his team, they created&nbsp;LoCHAid, a minimalist hearing aid that costs lesser than a bottle of drinking water!
The aim to help restore hearing in those who do not have access to technology. The team decided to focus on age-related hearing loss.
The&nbsp;do-it-yourself hearing aid is made from easily available and inexpensive parts. The matchbox-sized device can be worn like a necklace around the neck.&nbsp;
The next step is to clinically test the device in several countries across the globe.&nbsp;

Spices not only lend a delectable flavour to your meal, but each one of them is also loaded with benefits you can&rsquo;t ignore.
Let&rsquo;s begin with star anise. It&rsquo;s made from a fruit of a Chinese evergreen tea and as the name suggests, has a star-like shape. Known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties, the spice is rich in a rare plant-based compound called shikimic acid, which is often used in anti-flu medication. When coupled with another plant antioxidant quercetin, the spice is known to strengthen the immune system. You can add star anise to your tea or milk, a stew or soup!
Cumin seeds aid digestion and are known to be one of the most gut-friendly herbs. They consist of thymol and essential oils that act as a stimulant for the salivary gland and facilitate digestion. Those who suffer from gastric issues and flatulence are advised to drink jeera water on an empty stomach every morning. Perhaps, this is the reason why no desi tadka is complete without a sprinkle of cumin seeds!
A spice that makes its way into the Indian cuisine very often, cloves are repositories of benefits. They&rsquo;re rich in manganese, help improve brain function and bone health. This spice contains essential oils like vanillin and acetyl eugenol. In addition to that, they&rsquo;re loaded with flavonoids like eugenin and kaempferol. In many instances, cloves help ease digestion and get rid of acid reflux. Add them to your tea or chew on one when you feel nauseous.
The humble cardamom often makes its way into your favourite biryani. But did you know, the spice may help lower blood pressure because of its diuretic properties? Cardamom is anti-inflammatory in nature and may help keep chronic diseases away. Studies have found that it may even kill bacteria in the mouth and prevent cavities. You can gorge on elaichi ki chai, add it to curries, or as a topping in your favourite phirni or kheer.

It is often claimed that drinking a small amount of apple cider vinegar before a meal can help reduce appetite and help you lose weight but there is very little scientific evidence to prove this claim&nbsp;
There are other benefits of the supplement, backed by more research.&nbsp;
Loaded with acetic acid, apple cider vinegar is known to be beneficial for diabetics, since it can help lower blood sugar levels and insulin. It also enhances the alkalinity of the body and decreases the levels of blood glucose. However, scientific evidence to prove that ACV may facilitate weight loss is far-fetched. &nbsp;
It is a great natural preservative since its components can help kill harmful bacteria. Experts even believe it could be beneficial for the skin, helping with conditions like eczema and dryness by rebalancing pH levels.&nbsp;
You must keep in mind that ACV is very acidic in nature and may irritate your throat if taken in large amounts. Experts also warn that it interferes with some drugs like insulin, which may lead to low potassium levels. ACV&rsquo;s acidic content may even damage your tooth enamel if sipped straight. It's always best to dilute vinegar. &nbsp;
You can use apple cider vinegar in your salad dressings or add some to your soups and sauces to ensure that you get the perfect medley of taste and nutrition. &nbsp;

Who doesn't love a good snack during the day? If you're on a weight loss journey, 'healthy snacking' must be made a part of your diet.
A healthy snack should be nutritious, keep you energised throughout the day and should have low calorific content. Curd seems to tick every box and could be a healthy addition to your weight loss plan.
Curd or Dahi is loaded with&nbsp;gut-friendly bacteria, it is rich in proteins and calcium. It is one of the best probiotics. In fact, if you work out regularly, a bowl of curd could aid muscle recovery and help maintain muscle mass.
If you're not a fan of a plain bowl of curd, there are ways to spruce it up! Add some berries as a topping without altering the nutritious goodness of the bowl.
You could even make a puree of your favourite seasonal fruits and add them into your curd mix.&nbsp;
If you're not one with experimenting, stick to granola to add flavour to your curd. Ideally, home-made granola would be the best bet!&nbsp;

"Are you really that old," Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked actor and model Milind Soman on Thursday during an interaction on fitness. Soman at 55 often surprises his fans with his fitness levels, To the PM's age question Milind Soman gave his mother's example, who is also a fitness enthusiast at 81. "I want to be like her when I reach that age," he said. PM Modi also shared that he watched the video of Milind's mom doing push-ups many times over.

A more contagious strain of the novel coronavirus dominates recent samples, a new study from researchers at the Houston Methodist Hospital has claimed.
Over 5000 genomes were analysed from a recent wave of the infection and from the earliest phase of the pandemic in Houston. The study concluded that almost all strains in the second wave showed a mutation called D614G, which has increased the number of spikes on the virus.
Patients infected with the new variant strain have higher amounts of virus, the study, which has not been peer reviewed noted. This however does not indicate that the mutation has made the strain deadlier. Some parts of the spike protein are also evolving to evade the immune response of the body, the genetic study said. This could have an implication on vaccine development.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday interacted with fitness experts and influencers from across the country to mark the one-year anniversary of Fit India Movement. PM Modi launched the &lsquo;Fit India Age Appropriate Fitness Protocols&rsquo; during the online Fit India Dialogue. Cricketer Virat Kohli, model, actor and runner Milind Soman, and nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar were among the fitness influencers who will participated in the event.

You see them over burger buns, on the sides of your bread loaf, in stir-fried vegetables and sprinkled over&nbsp;yummy Indian sweets. But did you know, these tiny sesame seeds also come with a host of benefits?
Known as&nbsp;til in Hindi, sesame seeds are excellent sources of plant-based protein and contain a good amount of fibre, aiding digestive health. Always opt for roasted, hulled sesame seeds to get the maximum benefit. They're powerhouses of proteins and healthy fats that may keep blood sugar levels under control.
Til&nbsp;also contains magnesium which may help lower blood pressure. That's another reason to load up.
They also enhance bone health because of the calcium content in its hull. Sesame seeds are even considered to be a thyroid-friendly option since they contain selenium, which plays a crucial role in producing thyroid hormones.
Have them with steamed broccoli, make granola bars with sesame, add it to your salad or hummus and enjoy!

Winter is coming! The clear blue sky that&nbsp;Delhiites&nbsp;saw in all these months of lockdown will be of no respite as the city's pollution crisis aggravates in the winter months.
Experts say that the 3-foot physical distance protocol in use during the lockdown&nbsp;and unlock phases of the pandemic&nbsp;will be irrelevant for residents of Delhi-NCR with the rise in pollution levels.
With the Covid-19 virus being airborne, pollution will only make it easier for the virus to travel faster. Congested areas like slums and unauthorised colonies are highly vulnerable to this mode of transmission.

A developing immune system makes children super susceptible to infection and colds. Add these nutrient-dense foods to your kid&rsquo;s diet to bolster their disease defences.
Probiotics in yoghurt&nbsp;could boost gut function and improve the body&rsquo;s ability to extract nutrition from food. Research has shown that having a yoghurt drink daily can reduce children&rsquo;s risk of colds, ear infections, and strep throat. Make smoothies, dips or have some good old raita!
Rich in beta-carotene, sweet potato has been proven to increase white blood cells in the body and elevate the activity of killer cells. It is also loaded with Vitamin C making it a great addition to your immunity arsenal. Have them boiled, baked, steamed, or fried!
Nuts and seeds make for great snacks and can satiate any mid-meal cravings. A mix of walnuts, almonds and some sesame and flaxseeds&nbsp;could offer a sufficient amount of antioxidants, healthy fats and essential vitamins. Replace chips and chocolates with a yummy trail mix!

Summers are incomplete without a bowl of refreshing watermelon salad! But did you know, the fruit comes with a slew of health benefits that help strengthen your immunity?
This summer fruit is rich in Vitamin A, C and potassium- nutrients needed by the body to ward off any kind of infection. Vitamin C bolsters the immune system, Vitamin A helps you achieve radiant skin and potassium lowers blood sugar levels.
The levels of an antioxidant called&nbsp;lycopene in watermelon are higher than any other fruit or vegetable! The chemical gives it the stunning red hue and is linked to decreased risk of age-related eye problems, cancer and heart disease.
The next time you get your hands on a juicy watermelon, make sure you don&rsquo;t throw away the seeds. They are storehouses of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, copper, and potassium.

Is the changing weather making you feel nauseous or do you wake up every morning with a bout of 'morning sickness'? Trust ginger to solve your tummy woes!
The wonder spice, loaded with gingerol, has a long history of medicinal use and is known to have anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer properties!
The chemicals in ginger may reduce symptoms of nausea and inflammation. They help in emptying the stomach and intestines, thereby relieving symptoms of constipation, cramps, acidity and bloating.
If a cup of ginger tea or ale is not your cup of tea, herbal teas like peppermint and chamomile work just as well. You can even chew on some cardamom seeds to get rid of the vomiting sensation when you&rsquo;re on the go!

Indians have always loved pickles as they can add ample flavour to any boring meal. Pickles are great immunity boosters when prepared at home with fresh and seasonal ingredients.
The process of fermenting seasonal vegetables with mustard oil and the right amount of salt could help boost our gut health. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, there is a reason why home-made achaar recipes are often passed from generation to generation.
Vinegar used in the fermentation process also helps aid the metabolism of the body. You can pickle some fresh onions and have them with everything from chicken tikka to falafel and sandwiches. The low heat pickling process ensures that the vegetable retains its nutritious value.
With that being said, don&rsquo;t replace your daily veggie intake with pickles. Just add a small amount of it to your plate to reap all the benefits of this natural immunity booster. The next time you reach for that lemon, ginger or amla pickle jar, you won&rsquo;t have to think twice!

The humble wheatgeass&nbsp;is yet another fad that has made its way into the world of health and medicine.
Its essentially the first fresh leaves that sprout from the wheat plant. In recent years, wheatgrass has been used as a dietary supplement, and an ingredient in&nbsp;detox drinks and as an immunity booster.
This superfood&nbsp;consists of almost 70% chlorophyll, known to enhance the quality of red blood cells and fight certain kind of cancers, in addition to slowing down the process of ageing.
Chrolophyll also stimulates detoxification, as it acts as natural chelating agents, removing heavy metals from the body. Not to forget, it also helps regenerate tissues and improve the skin.
Nutritionists say&nbsp;it is&nbsp;packed with vitamin C, A, beta&nbsp;carotene, iron and amino acids sustaining overall health. Some studies have also shown that wheatgrass&nbsp;could prove to be beneficial against&nbsp;ulcerative colitis or inflammation of the colon.
Wheatgrass is also rich in an antioxidant called glutathione that prevents damage from free radicals in the body and helps stave off a range of illnesses.
Grow it at home or get your hands on the powder or capsule form. The juice can be added to smoothies, teas, or on salad dressings.
What's more, wheatgrass is considered to be safe for those sensitive to gluten, since the grass does not contain gluten, only the wheat kernel does, it is still recommended that you consult your doctor before including it in your diet.
One thing that you need to keep in mind is that wheatgrass is vulnerable to mold formation. If you grow it at home and see any signs of spoilage, it is best to discard it.
