The study has focused on the key elements of an operation and how patients can look for non-surgical ways to cure knee and joint pain.

Due to our sedentary lifestyles, knee or joint pain is a common problem these days. And, with the advancement of medical science, the problem can be easily solved with surgery. However, experts reveal like you may not necessarily have to take the surgical route if such a problem arises.&nbsp;
The study published in the medical journal BMJ reveals that some surgery doesn&rsquo;t work any better than the best non-surgical treatments. Researchers scrutinised a set of studies on 10 surgeries, including knee, wrist and spine. While in a few cases surgeries proved beneficial, the majority showed that exercise, physiotherapy, proper medication among other factors have worked better.

Smoothies offer a power-packed dose of nutrients when done right, but some common smoothie mistakes can take away from all the benefits. 

4 common smoothie mistakes you need to stop making!

Smoothies offer&nbsp;a power-packed dose of nutrients&nbsp;when done right,&nbsp;but&nbsp;some common&nbsp;smoothie&nbsp;mistakes&nbsp;can&nbsp;take away from all the benefits.&nbsp;

One of the easiest, most delicious and quick things to put together, smoothies are&nbsp;quite a&nbsp;popular&nbsp;snack.&nbsp;They can offer&nbsp;a power-packed dose of nutrients&nbsp;when done right,&nbsp;but&nbsp;some common&nbsp;smoothie&nbsp;mistakes&nbsp;can&nbsp;take away from all the benefits.&nbsp;
Here are some of the most easily forgotten&nbsp;smoothie mistakes that you should keep in mind while whipping up your&nbsp;next bowl.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>TOO MUCH FRUIT&nbsp;</h3>
With so many delicious fruits to choose from, it is easy to go overboard with fruits in your smoothie. But fruits also pack in a lot of sugar. Keep your fruits to half a cup per smoothie and supplement with some veggies, nut butter&nbsp;and&nbsp;dairy.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<h3>NOT ENOUGH FAT OR PROTEIN&nbsp;</h3>
A common mistake is forgetting the nutrient balance. Don&rsquo;t make your smoothie just carb-heavy,&nbsp;integrate a serving of protein and healthy fats to stay full for longer. You can add nuts, protein powder, some yoghurt or avocado.&nbsp;
<h3>STORING FOR TOO LONG&nbsp;</h3>
Another huge mistake is making a big batch and storing it for the next few days. The best way to get all the benefits of a smoothie is to make it&nbsp;just right before you consume it. Do not store your smoothies for more than 24 hours as it loses&nbsp;their&nbsp;nutritional value.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>NO PORTION CONTROL&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Whether you&rsquo;re eating smoothies for weight loss or to be healthy, portion control is key. Even a well-balanced jar of a&nbsp;smoothie can&nbsp;pack about 300 to 600 calories depending on your ingredients. Always consider the portion size of each ingredient and be mindful of how&nbsp;much&nbsp;you add.&nbsp;

Why is chocolate before bedtime such a big no-no?

PATH:&nbsp;X:\12-01-2022\LIFESTYLE --&nbsp;LS_Why is chocolate before bedtime such a big no-no-_VS_Sai

According to medical experts, eating chocolate before your bedtime is a pretty bad idea.

You might have heard people say that there&rsquo;s no harm in nibbling on a small block of dark chocolate&nbsp;after your meal. In fact, eating a bit of dark chocolate can actually be good for you!&nbsp;
But what time of the day you&rsquo;re enjoying your chocolate makes all the difference.&nbsp;According to medical experts, eating chocolate before your bedtime is a pretty bad idea.
The caffeine quotient
First of all, chocolates contain caffeine. While the amount may vary with each bar, caffeine in any amount isn&rsquo;t doing you any favours when it comes to getting deep&nbsp;sleep.
Not your nap time friend
Second, chocolate also contains a compound called theobromine. This is the stuff that makes chocolates bad for cats and dogs. Theobromine can increase heart rate and cause sleeplessness.
Some research has even linked chocolate consumption too close to bedtime with nightmares and night terrors.&nbsp;
SEE MORE&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editorji.com//the-dark-truth-about-chocolate-1594116193704">The 'dark' truth about chocolate</a>&nbsp;
All in all, chocolates are rich in caffeine, sugar and fats. Eating some before bed forces your body to process all these complex nutrients at the time when your body should ideally be getting into the &lsquo;rest and digest&rsquo; mode.
What is the best time to eat chocolate?
The bottom line is that if you want to reap the benefits of dark or milk chocolate, it is better to enjoy it as a post-lunch dessert. As a thumb rule, you should avoid having chocolate after 5 pm to&nbsp;safeguard&nbsp;your sleep hours.&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether you&rsquo;re drinking too much coffee, watch out for the signs that will make you rethink your daily drinking habits.

From the guzzler to the aroma enthusiast, there are all kinds of coffee drinkers out there. For many, their coffee cuppa is as essential to their routine as brushing one&rsquo;s teeth. But this&nbsp;addictive drink can have many&nbsp;pronounced effects on your health and well-being&nbsp;as well.&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;ve ever wondered whether you&rsquo;re drinking too much coffee, here are some signs that will make you rethink your daily drinking habits.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Disrupted Sleep Pattern&nbsp;</h3>
While your morning java helps you wake up and fight lethargy in the afternoon, the amount of coffee you drink in the day directly impacts your sleep cycle.&nbsp;Studies have found that having substantial amounts of caffeine even six hours before bedtime can&nbsp;disturb sleep quality.&nbsp;
<h3>Constant Anxiety&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
As a stimulant, coffee triggers your body&rsquo;s natural &lsquo;fight or flight&rsquo; mode, which means even moderate amounts of coffee can&nbsp;aggravate anxious feelings.&nbsp;This is especially important for people who already struggle with general anxiety disorder and stress.&nbsp;

<h3>The Laxative Effect&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
You may already know that coffee makes you poop.&nbsp;Some even use coffee to keep their functions regular but&nbsp;people living with&nbsp;irritable bowel syndrome&nbsp;(IBS) may face their intestinal problems getting worse from coffee. A little too much and your cup of java may even cause you diarrhoea.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>A Jitter Juice&nbsp;</h3>
The rush of energy after you&nbsp;guzzle&nbsp;a cuppa&nbsp;is almost always followed by a crash. Also called &lsquo;coffee jitters&rsquo;, if you can feel your heart racing, face nausea, sweatiness&nbsp;or have a sense of shakiness then you may want to slow down your coffee roll&nbsp;and reach for a glass of water instead.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>Weight Gain&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>
Unless you&rsquo;re always drinking your coffee black and sugar-free, the multiple rounds of milk, cream and sweeteners with each cup can add up quickly. All those extra calories&nbsp;are hidden in plain sight and can lead to weight gain.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So,&nbsp;holding&nbsp;back on&nbsp;your&nbsp;next fancy&nbsp;cappuccino&nbsp;order&nbsp;might be good for both your&nbsp;body and your wallet.

Even though salt makes food taste so much better, eating too much salt can be very unhealthy for your body.

Don’t pass the salt! How you’re eating way more sodium than you need

Do you know where salt is hiding in your diet?

Even though salt makes food taste so much better, eating too much salt&nbsp;can be&nbsp;very unhealthy for your body.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Do you know where salt is hiding in your diet?
The most common seasoning&nbsp;in any kitchen, salt is perhaps one of the most essential ingredients in your&nbsp;cooking.&nbsp;Even though it makes food taste so much better, eating too much salt&nbsp;can be&nbsp;very unhealthy for your body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced a new benchmark on&nbsp;the consumption of salt or sodium for&nbsp;all&nbsp;countries. The global health body has recommended cutting daily intake from the current 9-12 gm of salt on average, to almost half, at 5 gm per day&nbsp;(or&nbsp;about a teaspoon.)&nbsp;
<blockquote>
&ldquo;Most people don&rsquo;t know how much sodium they consume, or the risks it poses,&rdquo; WHO&rsquo;s&nbsp;Director-General&nbsp;Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus&nbsp;said in a statement.
</blockquote>
The new&nbsp;WHO&nbsp;guidelines apply primarily to packaged and processed foods that pack the most amount of salt in your diet.

Here are some&nbsp;food items that are so high in sodium that they will make you want to give your salt shaker a rest!
CHEESE&nbsp;&nbsp;
A great source of calcium and protein, cheese is also big on salt content. Salt is added to cheese to enhance flavour,&nbsp;improve texture and elongate the dairy product&rsquo;s shelf life.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PICKLES&nbsp;
Although it is great to eat some&nbsp;amount&nbsp;of fermented foods, eating store-bought pickles can really throw off your salt intake.&nbsp;These&nbsp;pickles add a hefty amount of sodium&nbsp;with&nbsp;the smallest of bites finishing anywhere&nbsp;from 50%-80% of your daily allowance.&nbsp;&nbsp;
COLD CUT MEATS&nbsp;&nbsp;
Processed deli meats are preserved with salt to add&nbsp;more flavour and&nbsp;to prevent it from going bad on the shelf.&nbsp;Also&nbsp;called lunch meats,&nbsp;just one serving of sliced deli turkey could pack nearly one-fifth of&nbsp;your recommended&nbsp;daily intake.&nbsp;&nbsp;

SAUCES&nbsp;&nbsp;
Many readymade condiments like sauces, spreads&nbsp;and salad dressings are jam-packed with sodium.&nbsp;Some brands even use sodium-containing additives like MSG taking the salt level even higher.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SALTY NUTS&nbsp;&nbsp;
While nuts make for&nbsp;a&nbsp;great nutritious snack, be careful about your salt intake when you&nbsp;open&nbsp;a pack of salted nuts.&nbsp;Depending on the brand and how much you consume, you could eat up your entire daily&nbsp;salt&nbsp;intake from these nuts without even realising it.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The bottom line is that many of us exceed our daily sodium needs which can raise blood pressure and cause fluid retention among many others.&nbsp;When in doubt, read the&nbsp;label before you eat the product.&nbsp;

Published&nbsp;in JAMA&nbsp;Pediatrics, the study says that infants who were born between March to December 2020 scored slightly lower on a screening&nbsp;of their developmental skills than those born prior to the pandemic.

The study is based on data from 225 babies born in New York City&nbsp;which was the U.S. epicentre in the outbreak&rsquo;s early days.&nbsp;Although the differences observed were small, experts say it does make you question what is impairing the&nbsp;foundational skills&nbsp;such as motor skills in pandemic babies.&nbsp;
Interestingly, it was predicted that mask-wearing would affect babies&rsquo; communication but the study observed that pandemic babies, in fact, scored higher in communication skills.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Overall, the team&nbsp;cautioned&nbsp;that the findings&nbsp;may not be indicative of long-term lags in development.

Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.

Vitamin D: What is vitamin D toxicity and how does it affect your body? 

Vitamin D has a 'toxic' trait that you need to be aware of!

Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.

Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining your overall health. It&rsquo;s necessary for the growth and development of your muscle cells and maintaining skeletal health. Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common and as per the National Institutes of Health in the USA, its deficiency affects around 1 billion people worldwide.
To combat the deficiency, many people use vitamin D supplements that are considered safe and non-toxic. However, toxicity is a possible outcome when consumed in large unhealthy doses. Vitamin D toxicity, also called hypervitaminosis D, is a rare but potentially serious condition that occurs when you have excessive amounts of vitamin D in your body.

Let&rsquo;s take a look at what happens when you consume more than 100 nanogram/ml of vitamin D on a regular basis, according to the National Institutes of Health in the USA.
Elevated blood calcium levels
Vitamin D helps your body absorb&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;from the food you eat. In fact, this is one of its most important roles. However, if your vitamin D intake is excessive, your blood calcium may reach levels that can cause unpleasant and potentially dangerous symptoms.
Gastrointestinal symptoms
The main side effects of excessive vitamin D levels are related to excessive calcium in the blood. Nausea, excessive vomiting, constipation, diarrhea or poor appetite are signs of hypercalcemia&nbsp;or high blood calcium levels, that are caused by vitamin D overdose.
Altered neurological senses
The increased calcium levels due to excessive vitamin D intake can cause confusion, agitation, depression, and psychosis.

 - India &rsquo;s first President Dr Rajendra Prasad&nbsp;took oath in the government house on 26th&nbsp;January, 1950.
 -The Chief Guest for the Republic Day parade&nbsp;in 1955&nbsp;was Pakistan&rsquo;s&nbsp;first&nbsp;Governor General Malik Ghulam Muhammad.&nbsp;&nbsp;
-The first Republic Day parade took place in Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, previously known as, Irwin Stadium.&nbsp;&nbsp;
-At that time, the stadium was not&nbsp;enclosed&nbsp;by four walls, and one could easily see the Red Fort.&nbsp;
-Every year, on the occasion of Republic Day, the President hoists the Indian flag&nbsp;and a 21-gun salute is given.&nbsp;
-The 21-gun salute begins along with the national anthem and ends&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;52-second-long&nbsp;anthem.&nbsp;

-On 29th&nbsp;January, Beating the Retreat ceremony takes place at Vijay Chowk wherein the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force bands take part. This day is celebrated to mark the end to the Republic Day festivities.&nbsp;
