Malaika Arora Swears By This Exercise To Lose Thigh Fat If you are someone trying to get rid of thigh fat, take cues from Malaika Arora! The 51-year-old shared an exercise that she says can help "lose thigh fat". She is seen demonstrating the dumbbell squat - a powerful move for strengthening and losing thigh fat while enhancing full-body coordination. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Malaika Arora (@malaikaaroraofficial) Benefits Of Dumbbell Squats Squats, in general, are a functional exercise that helps burn calories, prevent injuries, strengthen your core, and improve your posture and balance. Adding some weights to the classic squat is only going to benefit you. The dumbbell squat is a compound exercise that targets the hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, and calves. In short, all the major muscles in the lower body, including your thighs. How To Do A Dumbbell Squat Step 1: Begin by standing tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Step 2: Now, lower into a squat position while engaging your core and keeping your back straight. Imagine that you're sitting in an invisible chair. Step 3: Lower your hips until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as you can go. Step 4: Keep your body's weight in your heels and ensure that your knees do not extend past your toes. Step 5: Go back to the initial position, and don't forget to squeeze your glutes when you are going back. Malaika Arora recommends doing 3 sets of this exercise for 15 repetitions each. However, you can start at your own pace if you are a beginner and try doing 12 to get yourself started. Don't forget to maintain controlled breathing while you do the exercise. Also, check with your fitness coach or healthcare provider before you incorporate this exercise into your routine to avoid injuries.

Parabens Can Disrupt Your Hormonal Balance; Expert Shares All The Side-Effects
Parabens are a class of chemical preservatives that have been used in cosmetics since the 1920s. They prolong shelf life and prevent microbial growth, albeit at a price. Parabens are artificial preservatives that are often present in your everyday items like lotions, sunscreen, mascara, face creams, and shampoos. A cosmetics product labelled "paraben-free" indicates that it contains no parabens. Although "paraben-free" denotes the lack of parabens, it does not imply that the product is free of preservatives; sodium benzoate or phenoxyethanol may be utilised in its place. Nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee has shared the harmful effects of parabens and suggested choosing paraben-free products in her recent Instagram post. According to Anjali Mukerjee, parabens in our daily products "mimic" oestrogen (xenoestrogens), which might confuse the body. Parabens are added to the body's already-existing hormonal load, and they are processed similarly to natural hormones. Consequences of paraben exposure, according to Anjali, include: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anjali Mukerjee (@anjalimukerjee) Besides parabens, contributing factors to imbalance include late nights and poor eating habits that exacerbate already existing hormonal issues. Blue light exposure from screens also affects hormonal balance as well. Since hormone levels are already affected by so many external factors, avoiding other sources of disruption (such as parabens) is essential for preserving general health. Thus, the nutritionist has suggested switching to paraben-free, hormone-safe products. "Give your body a break," Anjali said. Look into and choose personal care items that are marked as paraben-free. Examine lifestyle decisions that could make hormone abnormalities worse, she added. Although the majority of research indicates that parabens often have no harmful effects, the cosmetics industry is increasingly providing paraben-free options in response to customer concerns. In her earlier Instagram post, nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee shared secrets to anti-ageing and said that stress, alcoholism, smoking, poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle can all accelerate ageing. Antioxidants (natural and supplemental), staying stress-free, practising intermittent fasting, having enough protein, regular exercising, and always smiling were some simple and natural to-do tips to slow down the ageing process, according to Anjali.
