‘My day starts with Ushapan…': Vidya Malavade swears by these 3 habits to kickstart her mornings the traditional Ayurvedic way
When it comes to starting the day right, some routines go beyond just a cup of tea or a few stretches. A well-thought-out morning ritual can set the tone for better digestion, improved mental clarity, and enhanced immunity. In a recent Instagram post, actor Vidya Malavade shared three elements from her morning routine that focus on gut health, oral hygiene, and overall wellness. The first step to her routine involves Ushapan in Malasana, where she sips warm water mixed with ghee. 'Malasana improves hip mobility, strengthens the lower body, it can relieve lower back pain, improve posture, and promote relaxation,' she wrote. She also adds, 'Ghee with warm water in the morning is amazing because ghee contains butyric acid, a fatty acid that aids metabolism and the food breakdown process.' Next on her list is Gandusha, the Ayurvedic practice of oil pulling. 'For healthier teeth and gums… to reduce plaque formations, gingivitis… kills bacteria in the mouth… that cause bad breath,' she explained. Malavade stressed, 'DO NOT SWALLOW THE OIL, spit it out in a waste basket… gargle with salt + turmeric water… spit that out too… then brush and use tongue cleaner (sic).' She concludes her post by discussing the advantages of infusing Ayurvedic herbs into coconut oil, citing ingredients such as Ashwagandha, Moringa, and Shatavari, stating the various benefits of each of the ingredients. Malavade also shares that she practices Jal Neti (nasal irrigation) two to three times a week. Dr Anjana Kalia, ayurvedic doctor and nutrionist at Bloom Clinix, tells 'Drinking warm water with a small amount of ghee on an empty stomach is a traditional Ayurvedic practice believed to support digestion and improve bowel movements. Ghee, being a healthy fat, may lubricate the digestive tract and enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Sitting in malasana (garland pose) while drinking or shortly after may aid digestion by opening the hips and aligning the pelvis, which can help stimulate the abdominal organs. But people having knee pain should avoid sitting in malasana.' A post shared by Vidya S Malavade (@vidyamalavade) However, she adds that there are certain considerations. This practice may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with gallbladder issues, a history of pancreatitis, or those on a low-fat diet due to health concerns. 'Excessive ghee intake can lead to unwanted calorie gain or digestive discomfort in people with sensitive stomachs. Moderation is key, and it's always advisable to consult a healthcare provider before incorporating such routines,' notes Dr Kalia. According to Dr Kalia, oil pulling is a traditional Ayurvedic method involving swishing oil (typically sesame or coconut oil) in the mouth for about 10–20 minutes. 'This practice is generally safe and may support oral health by reducing harmful bacteria, improving gum health, and helping with bad breath,' informs the expert. However, precautions are essential. Oil pulling should always be done on an empty stomach, and the oil should never be swallowed as it may contain toxins and bacteria. People should avoid overdoing it; once daily is sufficient. Also, individuals with jaw issues (like TMJ disorders) should be cautious, as prolonged swishing might strain the muscles. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Moringa, and Shatavari are well known for their internal health benefits when taken orally as part of a balanced Ayurvedic routine. When used externally in a base like coconut oil, Dr Kalia notes, they may offer some localised benefits such as soothing inflammation, nourishing the skin, or improving circulation. For instance, Ashwagandha oil is traditionally used in Abhyanga (Ayurvedic massage) to relax muscles and reduce stress. However, the absorption of active compounds through the skin is generally limited compared to oral intake.

Rye vs Sourdough: Which bread is better for blood sugar control?
Multigrain, whole wheat, sourdough. The market is flooded with varieties of bread to accompany your eggs and pasta, seemingly offering a healthier choice to digest your meals. For diabetics, mindful choices can help control insulin levels and keep spikes under check. If you are confused between rye and sourdough and curious about their impact on your insulin level, comes to you with inputs from a nutritionist. Deepika Sharma, personal fitness expert with a focus on functional nutrition, told that the primary difference between rye and sourdough is that rye is a grain and sourdough is a process. Still, both show up a lot in conversations around digestion, gut health, and blood sugar, so it's worth unpacking. 'Rye bread (the dense, old-school kind — not the soft, sweetened stuff from supermarket shelves) is naturally high in fibre. It's got these slow-digesting carbs that help keep your blood sugar steady. It's also rich in something called arabinoxylans, basically food for your good gut bacteria. So it's not just about sugar spikes, it's also about how your gut holds up over time,' said Sharma. Sourdough, on the other hand, is more of a technique. According to her, it can be made with rye, wheat, spelt, whatever flour you choose. 'What makes it different is the wild fermentation. Instead of commercial yeast, it uses natural bacteria and yeast (mostly lactobacilli) that slowly break things down, including carbs and gluten,' she explained, adding that the process is what makes it easier to digest, lowers the glycemic load, and even reduces compounds that block mineral absorption. 'If you're eating rye sourdough, that's the sweet spot, you get both the grain and the fermentation benefits,' said Sharma. If it's a basic rye vs a good white sourdough, then the sourdough often comes out ahead, especially if it's slow-fermented and made with whole grains, she added. The part most people miss? It's not just the ingredient. It's how it's made. 'A fluffy, fast-baked rye with added sugar won't do much for your gut. But a slow-fermented whole wheat sourdough? That's a different story,' said Sharma. More often than not, labels don't tell the whole truth. The process does, she concluded. Nutritionist Apeksha Chandurkar, founder of Balanced Bite, added that according to dietary recommendations, consuming plain or toasted bread solely depends on the individual's health status and preference. Between the both, toasted bread, which has a slightly lower GI (glycaemic index), could help keep blood glucose levels in check compared to plain bread. Another way to reduce glucose spikes is to freeze and thaw bread. 'Take a plain slice of bread. Put it in a box or container. Freeze it in the refrigerator. The next day, you toast it. This reduces blood sugar spikes by 40 percent. When it is frozen and thawed, resistance starch forms, which is great for gut bacteria,' she added.

What happens to the body if you take a berberine supplement every day?
Berberine has often been likened to nature's Ozempic, highlighting its properties that aid in weight loss. This supplement might not be very popular in the health and wellness space, but it promises numerous beneficial effects on the body. spoke to health experts to find out whether it is safe for daily and long term use. 'Berberine, a natural compound found in plants like goldenseal and barberry, activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an enzyme regulating energy metabolism. This leads to improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced glucose uptake, and reduced blood sugar levels,' said Dr Manish Joshi, Additional Director- Surgical Gastroenterology, Fortis Hospital, Bengaluru. Berberine also exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, supporting cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol and triglycerides. He added that berberine may improve gut health, and enhance cognitive function. Umang Malhotra, clinical dietitian at Fitero, shared that berberine, widely used in traditional medicine, is a natural bioactive compound extracted from goldenseal, barberry, tree turmeric, oregon grape, and chinese goldthread. Berberine's ability to activate AMPK also supports fat loss by regulating the way the body processes energy. He shared that it inhibits fat storage, promotes fat breakdown, and can enhance metabolic rate, which helps in weight management. 'It significantly reduces inflammation by lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines and markers of inflammation such as C-reactive protein (CRP). Berberine inhibits the production of inflammatory molecules such as cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and decreases CRP levels, which are markers commonly elevated in chronic inflammatory conditions,' explained Malhotra. Dr Joshi shared that generally berberine supplements are considered safe when taken daily in recommended doses (500-1,500 mg). 'Human studies have shown minimal side effects, such as mild gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. However, high doses (>2,000 mg) may increase risk of adverse effects.' He advised pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with kidney or liver disease, and those taking medications such as blood thinners and diabetes medicines to consult their healthcare provider before using berberine. This is important in order to monitor blood sugar, kidney function, and liver enzymes. Quality supplements from reputable manufacturers can ensure purity and potency. Malhotra added that berberine can cause some mild side effects, particularly if taken in high doses or for extended periods: • Gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, cramping, flatulence, or constipation. • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if combined with other blood sugar-lowering medications. • Potential interactions with medications, especially those metabolized by the liver, as berberine can inhibit certain liver enzymes. Dr Joshi also mentioned that long-term use may interact with medications, such as blood thinners, and decrease their effectiveness. Berberine may also lower blood pressure, potentially exacerbating hypotension. And in some rare cases, berberine toxicity has been reported, characterized by nausea, vomiting, and respiratory problems, he added.
