How Rashami Desai Lost 10 Kg With A Smart Diet And Weight Loss Routine
Around the time of Uttaran, Rashami Desai revealed that she lost around 10 kg by following a healthy diet and fitness regimen. Here's a breakdown of her diet and fitness routine.
Rashami Desai's Diet
"80 per cent my diet and 20 per cent workouts, since my work doesn't allow me to work out like I used to before. I constantly watch my diet and my body. When you have control of your mind regarding what you consume, it keeps you fit, and working out gives you motivation to stay positive," as quoted by Outlook.
In an interview with Telly Masala, Rashami Desai also shared that she plans her meals carefully now, as she has to be mindful of what she eats. The 39-year-old revealed that she has reduced her salt intake and eats a healthy diet.
Rashami Desai's Fitness Routine
Yoga plays a big role in her routine. Rashami Desai shared that she does Surya Namaskar every day along with 30 minutes of walking, which helps her stay on track with her fitness. She also includes strength training and stretching exercises when time permits. Her goal is not extreme weight loss results but strength and mental clarity.
A 2024 study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences found that Surya namaskar can help you reduce Body Mass Index (BMI) - body fat based on a person's height and weight - and waist size in people after 45 minutes of Suryanamaskara and heating Pranayama practice for 4 weeks.
Rashami Desai On Psoriasis That Led To Weight Gain
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rashami Desai shared that she suffered from a skin condition called psoriasis.
"I have been dealing with health issues for the past few months. Last year, in December, I was diagnosed with Psoriasis, which is a skin problem. It takes a lot of time to be cured, and sometimes, one isn't completely cured. For the last four months, I was on a steroid treatment program, which caused weight gain.
I was not allowed to go in the sun as the heat aggravates the problem. It also escalates due to stress, but it was impossible not to be stressed out about the condition as I am an actor and in this business, an actor's face is everything."
However, the actor never gave up and continued to keep herself fit with resilience. She made sure to eat a healthy diet and follow a fitness regimen that would help her maintain her weight and overall health.

In a year, over 5k women donate to human milk banks in Gujarat
Gandhinagar: As many as 5,537 mothers donated 5,036 litres of milk to human milk banks in the state in 2024-25, providing a new lease of life to 7,829 children, the state govt said on Tuesday. So far, 21,357 women donated milk to human milk banks, and this has benefitted 19,731 newborn children. According to Indian govt guidelines, comprehensive lactation management centres (CLMC) or human milk banks are operational in four medical college hospitals in Surat, Vadodara, Valsad, and Gandhinagar. The human milk bank at Gandhinagar, which was set up in 2021, saw 646 mothers donating milk that benefitted 694 children. So far, 183.18 litres of milk was collected in this bank. The statement said that the SSG Hospital in Vadodara was awarded the NQAS certificate for high-quality standards, making it the first hospital in India to receive such certification.

These children are sensitive in terms of cognitive development and often cannot directly consume their mother's milk due to medical conditions. For these children, milk donated by other mothers becomes life-saving, the statement said. Donated milk can be stored in a deep freezer at -18 to -20 degrees celsius for up to six months, the statement said. The donated milk is pasteurised, rapidly cooled, and sent to the microbiology department for testing. Once the milk is cleared, it is stored in a deep freezer at -18 to -20 degrees celsius. Priority is given to premature babies, those weighing less than 1.8kg, or those admitted to the ICU. The statement said that many mothers produce excess milk even after feeding their child. Such mothers, after feeding their own child, can donate the surplus milk to children who are deprived of their mother's milk for any reason, by depositing it in the bank, the govt said.

Eris Lifesciences to tap Rs 5,000-cr insulin and semaglutide market in FY26
Ahmedabad-based Eris Lifesciences is looking to tap opportunities in the nearly Rs 5,000-crore Indian insulin market after Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk announced the withdrawal of its insulin products from the market in April this year. 'We expect that Novo's cartridge inventory in the market will run out by October 2025. So this market opportunity is something that one can start monetising from the November–December time frame,' the company's executive director and chief executive officer (CEO), Krishnakumar Vaidyanathan, told Business Standard. He added that the timing fits Eris' plans, as the cartridge filling capability of its Bhopal unit will start becoming operational from January. Vial manufacturing has already been commissioned at the unit, with the company creating a strategic stock of insulins. This comes at a time when Eris is already the largest domestic player in insulins. The company had acquired the India formulations business of Biocon Biologics last year — including established insulin brands Basalog and Insugen. 'Before the Biocon deal, we had a couple of homegrown insulin brands in the market, which did a combined Rs 60 crore in revenue last year. Basalog and Insugen had combined revenues of Rs 200 crore at the time of acquisition,' he said. He added that, with this, the company's insulin franchise has become significantly larger, with a 10 per cent market share. Eris is also among the prominent drugmakers looking to roll out generic versions of the blockbuster molecule semaglutide once its patent expires around March next year. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in medications for obesity management and Type-II diabetes. According to Eris' investor presentation for the June quarter of 2025–26 (Q1FY26), the company is on track to be among the first launches in India in March 2026. The company has initiated validation of synthetic semaglutide cartridges at its European Union (EU)-approved AMD injectables site. 'We are also planning the validation of the recombinant semaglutide in our Bhopal plant later this year,' he added. As far as the go-to-market strategy is concerned, the company said it is already in a strong position because of its dominant presence in insulins and prior presence in the GLP market with the launch of liraglutide in September last year. For Q1FY26, Eris Lifesciences recorded a 40 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) rise in consolidated profit after tax (PAT) to Rs 125 crore. Revenue rose to Rs 773 crore during the June quarter against Rs 720 crore in the year-ago period.

9 Immunity-Boosting Drinks To Sip During Monsoon Season
In a rush? Can't cook? The monsoon season brings a much-needed respite from the scorching summer heat. The earthy smell of rain, the comfort of pakoras, and the joy of curling up with a book make it a season to savour. However, along with the romance of rain comes a surge in seasonal infections, including colds, coughs, sore throats, and digestive issues. Our immunity tends to dip during this time, making it all the more important to nourish the body with the right foods and drinks. And while we often focus on what to eat, what we drink can be just as powerful in building resilience. The right beverages can hydrate, heal, and strengthen the immune system from within. From age-old Ayurvedic brews to modern superfood blends, there is a wide variety of immunity-boosting drinks that are easy to make, comforting to sip, and packed with health benefits. 1. A Classic Ayurvedic Drink For Cold And Cough A timeless remedy passed down through generations, haldi doodh is rich in curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Add a pinch of black pepper to boost absorption and sweeten with jaggery or honey. It soothes sore throats, helps improve sleep, and supports overall immunity. Bonus tip: Many cafes now offer turmeric lattes with almond or oat milk that are equally fancy, tasty, and healthy. You can order one through your food delivery app and enjoy it warm while watching the rain. 2. Tulsi Ginger Tea To Boost Respiratory Health Tulsi and ginger are staples in Indian kitchens and for good reason. Tulsi helps fight respiratory infections, while ginger aids digestion and reduces inflammation. Brew them together with lemon and honey for a refreshing herbal tea. Smart tip: Pre-mixed Tulsi-ginger tea bags are readily available at most local stores, making them a convenient option for busy mornings or when you want something soothing on the go.

Coconut Water With Mint And Lemon For Better Digestion Coconut water is nature's electrolyte drink, ideal for humid monsoon days. Add mint leaves and lemon juice to make it more flavourful and digestive-friendly. It also makes for a perfect refreshing drink for days when you feel bloated or sluggish. Quick hack: No coconut water? Try lemon water with a pinch of kala namak for similar benefits. 4. Amla Juice For Vitamin C And Skin Health Amla juice, or gooseberry juice, is one of the richest sources of vitamin C, which helps strengthen immunity and improve skin health. Dilute fresh amla juice with water and add honey or rock salt to balance the tartness. Pro tip: If fresh amla is not available, you can always go for bottled amla juice from trusted brands, available online or any drug store. Just make sure it has no added sugar or preservatives. 5. Garlic Kadha To Fight Infections Naturally Garlic is a natural antibiotic and works wonders for immunity. Boil crushed garlic with Tulsi, cinnamon, black pepper, and cloves to make a strong kadha. It may not win taste awards, but it is highly effective. Expert insight: It works best when consumed warm, especially if you get drenched or feel cold. 6. Seasonal Fruit Smoothies With Antioxidants And Good Fats Monsoon fruits, such as jamun, plums, peaches, and mangoes, are rich in antioxidants. Blend them with yoghurt or almond milk, add flaxseeds or chia seeds, and you have a delicious, immunity-boosting smoothie. You can also customise it by adding cinnamon or nutmeg for flavour and warmth. These smoothies are great for breakfast or as a midday snack. Shortcut: You will now find various health cafes and kitchens offering cold-pressed fruit smoothies with all the necessary ingredients. You can order your favourite through any food app and savour it, especially when you are short on time. 7. Cinnamon And Honey Tea For Warmth And Sugar Control Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and has antibacterial properties. Boil a stick of cinnamon in water, strain, and stir in a spoonful of honey. It is simple, comforting, and ideal for rainy evenings. Expert insight: It also helps curb sugar cravings and keeps you warm from the inside. 8. Orange And Carrot Juice For Immunity And Eye Health This vibrant combo is packed with vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fibre. It helps fight infections, improves skin health, and supports eye health too. You can also add a pinch of turmeric or ginger to boost immunity. Kitchen hack: If you don't have a juicer, simply grate the carrots and squeeze the oranges, then strain them properly for a quick fix. 9. Herbal Infused Water For Gut Health And Bloating Infuse your daily water intake with spices and herbs like fennel, cumin, ajwain, or lemongrass. These help with digestion, reduce bloating, and maintain gut health, thereby further boosting overall immunity. How to do it: Soak the herbs overnight and sip throughout the day. You can also boil them and drink warm, especially after meals. Still Wondering What To Drink? Read This Frequently Asked Questions Q. What is the best drink to prevent cold during the monsoon?
