TikTok star Sadaya Paige, 12, in ‘adrenal shock', mom asks followers to keep her in prayers: ‘Please continue…'
While sharing a health update on her first-born 12-year old daughter and TikTok star Sadaya Paige, who was diagnosed with Septo-optic Dysplasia 15 hours after she was born, mother Dora J. shared she was doing 'fine' on Friday prior to shifting her to Emergency Room for 'adrenal shock'.
She captioned her Instagram and TikTok posts, stating, 'Fairies, thank you all for your prayers ❤️. I wanted to give a bit more clarity on what's going on with Sadaya. To understand what is happening, you must know her medical history," according to People.
Dora mentioned Sadaya has Septo-optic Dysplasia, which she described meant her daughter's 'optic nerve connected from her eye to her brain was underdeveloped which is the cause to her blindness'. Besides, she has 'cortisol deficiency or adrenal deficiency and hypothyroidism'.
"Cortisol deficiency means Sadaya's body cannot produce cortisol or stress hormones on her own which is why she's been taking hydrocortisone (steroid) medication multiple times per day, everyday since birth," she shared.
Dora J. recounted the weekend, beginning with Friday, June 20, and shared updates on her daughter's health each day. She remembered her teenage daughter being "just fine" at first, but noted that symptoms of illness began to appear later that night.
"She went to work with me and after work, we went home and she started vomiting throughout the rest of the day and night which was the first symptom we noticed that was not right," she remembered her daughter on Friday evening.
The next morning, while recalling her daughter becoming 'lethargic, couldn't stand, limbs were wobbly, and she couldn't speak properly-and slurring', she said, "Immediately, her dad and I rushed her to ER." "We were told Sadaya was in adrenal shock," Dora mentioned. She explained that while they were in the ER, Sadaya developed a high fever nearing 104 degrees and her blood pressure dropped rapidly, leading to her being quickly moved to the ICU for blood pressure medication.
'However, her blood pressure was still dropping so they ultimately had to make the decision to put an oxygen tube into Sadaya's throat and insert larger IV lines in her neck in order for them to give stronger medication to help with her blood pressure,' she said.
"Sadaya was in an extremely bad state. (Being cortisol deficient is one of those life threatening concerns and this, by far, was the most severe versions of Sadaya's journey being cortisol deficient. Sadaya was also given stress dosing of the hydrocortisone which helped her so much.)," Dora added.
Dora thanked followers for their support to Sadaya and requested them to keep her in prayers. 'Sadaya is still in excruciating pain' and is talking "here and there" but it 'hurts', she stated. 'But thankfully, Sadaya is still here with us 😭❤️🙏🏽. Please continue lifting her up in prayer as she is still recovering. Thank you 🙏🏽❤️,' she concluded.

How To Check The Authenticity Of Organic Foods? Know From The Nutritionist
There is already much fuss about organic farming around the world. Don't you agree? Many farmers claim to be growing food products sustainably and without the use of chemicals, as promised on the label. We also often come across brands that look organic, but it is not clear whether they were grown organically. What to do in such situations? Nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary posted a video on Instagram, sharing 'a guide to avoid getting fooled by brands.' She writes in the caption, 'Just because it says 'organic' doesn't mean it's clean. Real organic products go through these strict checks before getting certified as ORGANIC.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rashi Chowdhary (@rashichowdhary) In the video, she explains, 'If you're in India, please stop paying for fake organic products. You know, I want you to actually look for these three logos on your product because it means that it's been verified by the government.' According to the nutritionist, the three logos are Jaivik Bharat, India Organic and PCS-India Green. She further shares the brands which are selling organic farm produce and have been verified. The brands are - Health Fields, Organic India, Pro Nature Organic Foods, Pure & Sure, Conscious Food, Organic Tattva, and 24 Mantra Organic. 'Now, this is not a paid promotion guys, but I know it's going to help you avoid getting scammed. Obviously, save this for yourself and also send it to someone who spends way too much money on organic stuff,' she states. In the caption, Rashi then opens up about the strict checks in order to verify the organic foods. According to her - Ingredients should be grown without synthetic pesticides, GMO seeds, or chemical fertilisers. Even the packaging and processing have to meet organic standards. And if they meet all of these standards, you can find any of these 3 logos on the packaging, giving it a green flag. If it's an imported product, she advises to look for the USDA Organic label. 'Don't fall for greenwashing again & pay premium for fake organic products,' she concludes.

Fitness coach shares 3 tips to keep your lost weight from coming back: Weigh yourself regularly
The weight loss journey is like climbing a steep slope, very challenging when it comes to shedding inches and kilos. But the real task begins after reaching your goal weight, keeping any additional kilos off for good. Even after reaching the desired body weight goal, you can still slip up. The lost weight can sneak in, undoing all the progress and hard work. This is why even after reaching the top of the slope of your weight loss journey, monitoring the weight becomes essential to avoid a sudden weight gain jumpscaring you. Lost weight can sneak in when you go lenient with your fitness.(Shutterstock) Fitness coach Raj Ganpath, who regularly shares practical tips on Instagram to improve fitness and support weight loss, posted on June 23, addressing the common issue of lost weight sneaking back in after reaching the desired body weight goal, and how to prevent it. 1. Stay aware of body weight Losing weight may be hard, but keeping it off is even harder. The thing is, once people reach their goal body weight, their daily weight tracking often drops off, but that's one of the biggest pitfalls. Without regular check-ins, the weight can come back. Raj said, 'You need to know what your body weight is at any point in time. This is true with any metric that you want to manage. You have to measure it. If you don't weigh yourself for four, five, or six months and then you get on the scale one day and you realise you have gained four or five kilos, it's already too late. You just have to start working on weight loss. But instead, if you weigh yourself every day or every other day, you can take micro corrections. You can nudge yourself back on track, and you can manage your weight effectively.' 2. Don't overeat Mindful consumption is one of the pillars of keeping the weight in check, especially for those who are trying to lose weight or stay in the desired weight goal. The fitness coach explained, 'Irrespective of what you eat, don't overeat. If you want to lose weight, you have to undereat. If you want to manage or maintain your weight, you want to eat just enough. If you want to gain weight and only if you want to gain weight, only then should you be overeating or eating to fullness.' 3. Exercise After reaching their goal weight, many people tend to skip workouts, thinking the storm of grinding and shedding all those kilos is finally over. The instinct is to relax, but this is where the danger lies. 'Some form of exercise. Do it regularly, if possible, every day. Why? Because in the short term, it helps you burn calories. In the long term, it improves your basal metabolic rate, and that keeps your metabolism up and high, which is very important when it comes to long-term weight management,' Raj concluded.
