Adding this homemade powder to warm water may help in faster weight loss
Staying in shape is undeniably a tough task, especially if you are someone who is always struggling with hectic schedules, poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle. Then we have got your back with some one of the simplest remedies to kick start the weightloss journey.
Well, here's all you need to know about a homemade powder, which when paired with warm water can help in naturally losing weight.
The homemade mix
When it comes to natural weight loss solutions, Indian kitchens offer some of the most powerful remedies. One such easy yet effective concoction is a homemade powder made from saunf (fennel seeds), jeera (cumin seeds), and ajwain (carom seeds). These three humble spices, when roasted, ground, and added to warm water, can boost your metabolism, reduce bloating, and help in fat breakdown naturally.
1 tablespoon coriander seeds500 ml waterJuice of half a lemonLemon optional.Method:Soak the coriander seeds in water overnight.In the morning, strain the water.Warm it slightly and mix in fresh lemon juice.Drink it on an empty stomach every morning for best results.
Why Saunf (Fennel Seeds)?
Fennel seeds are rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber. They help suppress hunger cravings by making you feel full longer. Fennel also supports digestion, prevents gas, and acts as a mild diuretic—helping flush out toxins and reduce water retention, a common cause of bloating and weight gain.
The Role of Jeera (Cumin Seeds)
Cumin is known to rev up the digestive system. It increases bile production in the liver, which helps in better digestion of fats and nutrients.

How Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Helps
Ajwain is highly effective for improving digestion and relieving indigestion. It increases metabolism and supports the breakdown of stubborn fat deposits. It's also a carminative, which means it reduces gas formation and helps eliminate toxins, making your body more efficient in fat processing.
How to make the powder
To prepare this weight-loss powder:
Take 2 tablespoons each of saunf, jeera, and ajwain.
Dry roast them individually until aromatic.
Allow them to cool and grind into a fine powder.

For best results, maintain a balanced diet and active lifestyle along with this drink.
Who Should Avoid It?
While generally safe, this drink may not be suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with severe acidity or ulcers, as ajwain and jeera can increase stomach heat. Always consult your doctor if you're on medication or have digestive issues.
Conclusion:

Furnish data on malnutrition in 4 weeks: HC tells MP govt
Bhopal: A division bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court asked district collectors from across the state to file a status report on the malnutrition situation in their respective districts. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf, gave four weeks for this purpose and issued notices to the state govt and the chief secretary in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) moved by a resident of Jabalpur, Deepankar Singh. Singh, in his petition, said that there is an alarming situation in MP regarding malnutrition among its people, but the state govt keeps hiding this terrible state of affairs by 'manipulating' data. He requested the court to ask for a report on malnutrition from the state govt to know the actual state of malnutrition prevalent among the people in MP so that efforts could be made to tackle the menace of malnutrition, particularly among the children. He said that according to the Poshan Tracker-2.0 and National Health Survey report, MP stands second in the country in terms of malnutrition. Attributing this situation to poor implementation of schemes on health and nutrition, he said that weak, underweight, and stunted children are born in the state because of malnutrition. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You will never turn off your computer again.

The petitioner said that among 66 lakh children in the age group of 0 to 6 years, 10 lakh are malnourished, and 1.36 lakh of them are severely malnourished. The prevalence of anaemia among women is 57%. It was also pointed out during the hearing that Rs 1.80 crore were paid as rent for anganwadi centres in Jabalpur district alone, but only a handful of children visit those centres. After the initial hearing, the court asked all the district collectors from across the state to furnish a report on the status of malnutrition in their respective districts within four weeks. Advocate Amit Singh Sengar and Atul Jain appeared in the case for the petitioner.

AI crash: Mum's skin grafts help heal infant's 36% burns
Eight-month-old Dhyaansh is all smiles today, his rosy cheeks glowing as he grins widely. After receiving skin grafts on his face, head and hands from his mother, Manisha, 30, the infant has recovered from what could have been fatal injuries. The son and wife of Dr Kapil Kachhadiya, a urology resident at Civil Hospital, were recently discharged from a city hospital after five weeks of treatment for severe burns they suffered in the aftermath of the AI 171 airplane crash on June 12. The mother-son duo was in the BJ Medical College hostel and residential quarters in Meghaninagar when the tragedy unfolded. Everything went black for a moment and then heat engulfed their residence. Manisha grabbed Dhyaansh and ran from the building through thick smoke and flames that made it nearly impossible for her to see anything. The hot air left the mother and child with serious burns. "There was a moment I thought we would not make it out. But I had to, for my child. We have both been through pain I cannot put into words," Manisha said.

He needed a ventilator to breathe, fluid resuscitation, blood transfusion care and specialised treatment for burns. Dr Adit Desai, managing director of KD Hospital, said the case moved everyone involved. "It was deeply touching because of the mother's instinctive courage to save her child. From a medical standpoint, every department came together to ensure the best possible outcome."Dr Desai added that the hospital provided free treatment to six patients who were affected by the AI 171 airplane crash. Dr Rutvij Parikh, plastic surgeon at KD Hospital, said that the child's own skin and mother's skin grafts were used to treat the burn wounds. "The patient's age was a major factor. We had to make sure the wounds did not get infected and that his growth would be normal. The recovery of the child and mother has been satisfactory." "Dr Kapil's involvement as a father helped enormously. As a medical professional himself, he often made sure the dressings were done properly, even in the middle of the night," he added. The treatment involved several specialists: Dr Snehal Patel, neonatologist and pediatrician; Dr Tushar Patel, pulmonologist and critical care specialist; and Dr Mansi Dandnaik, critical care and transplant intensivist. Dr Snehal Patel described a serious complication that Dhyaansh faced. "Due to the incident, blood rushed into one side of the child's lungs. He was kept on ventilatory support, and an intercostal drainage tube was inserted until we achieved good lung expansion."
