This Simple Homemade Drink Can Help You Manage Diabetes And PCOS Effectively, Expert Tells How
Managing conditions like PCOS and diabetes requires a holistic approach, and sometimes, the simplest remedies can have a profound impact. One such natural hack that is gaining attention is the use of Ceylon cinnamon, a spice known for its gentle yet potent effects on blood sugar levels and overall well-being. If you or your loved ones are struggling with diabetes or PCOS, nutritionist Palak Nagpal has a simple but powerful remedy that can help you manage the symptoms.
To make this drink, add one-fourth to half tablespoon of Sri Lankan (Ceylon) cinnamon to a glass of warm water and drink it 30 minutes before meals. According to Palak, regular consumption of this cinnamon concoction reduces blood sugar spikes, improves insulin sensitivity and helps you feel more balanced and energised all day long.
Why Ceylon cinnamon and not regular cinnamon, you ask? Well, Ceylon cinnamon is gentler on the body and rich in antioxidants. It is also especially effective in supporting blood sugar levels. This natural ingredient is simple, affordable and deeply healing.

England defender Millie Bright withdraws from Euro squad consideration
Chelsea defender Millie Bright has withdrawn her name from consideration for England's squad for next month's European Championship, saying she is not at her best. Bright made the announcement in an Instagram post on Wednesday, on the eve of England's Euro 2025 squad selection. 'My pride and ego tells me to go, but I think the team and the fans deserve more,' she wrote. 'Right now, I'm not able to give 100% mentally or physically.' The 31-year-old England vice-captain, who called it one of the hardest decisions she has ever had to make, had already withdrawn from England's recent camp for Nations League games against Portugal and Spain, saying she was mentally and physically at her limit after the domestic season. Her withdrawal ahead of the Euros in Switzerland, where England will defend its 2022 title, is a big blow to Sarina Wiegman's squad after veteran goalkeeper Mary Earps announced her international retirement recently. 'Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour,' Bright said. 'As much as I want to be out there running through brick walls for England and fighting alongside my teammates, stepping back is the right thing for my health, my future in the game and most importantly the team. ALSO READ: Fran Kirby, who won Women's Euros 2022 with England, retires from international football 'It wouldn't be fair for me to take the place and opportunity away from another player who is ready and able to give everything for the badge and country.' Fran Kirby also announced her international retirement on Tuesday after learning she would not be named in Wiegman's Euros squad. Considered one of the best defenders in the women's game, Bright helped Chelsea to its sixth successive Women's Super League title last month. It became the first team to go unbeaten in a 12-team, 22-game WSL campaign. Bright has six goals and 88 caps for England and captained the Lionesses at the 2023 World Cup, where they finished runner-up to Spain. England begins the defence of its European title against France on July 5.

Massive python swims through flooded Navi Mumbai streets, viral video sparks alarm. And memes
A startling sight of a large, venomous python gliding through flooded streets in Navi Mumbai, after heavy rains, has gone viral. In the video, the enormous reptile is seen swimming calmly through stagnant rainwater, its head rising above the surface in an eerie display. The road, submerged in water, makes the sudden appearance of the green python all the more shocking. The video was shared on Instagram by user @sarpmitr_ashtvinayak_more with the caption, 'Rock Python..' and has since garnered over 6.7 million views and more than 268,000 likes. A post shared by सर्पमित्र_अष्टविनायक_मोरे (@sarpmitr_ashtvinayak_more) Sparking a wave of reactions from concerned and amused viewers, one user said, 'Mujhe python aata h ..baat karke dekhu kya??' (I know Python. Should I try to talk to it?) 'Are people asking the snake to speak Marathi as well? Or have they spared an animal?' said another user. 'Poor thing looks traumatized,' a third commented. 'Please call the forest department or something. The snake is probably stressed. It might also get hurt by a vehicle as it is hardly visible,' urged another viewer. 'They are all around us, 99% times unnoticed. If they have adapted to living with us, we should keep the natural areas natural and not just keep on building unnecessarily,' a fifth user said. This isn't the first instance of a python sighting in Mumbai during the monsoons. Last year, a video surfaced on social media showing a six-foot-long Indian rock python crossing a road near the Aarey Colony forest. Snakes are commonly seen after rain due to several environmental and biological reasons. When heavy rainfall floods their underground homes, such as burrows or crevices, they are forced to move to higher or drier areas, often bringing them into human spaces. This displacement is one of the most frequent reasons for snake sightings on roads or in gardens after a storm. The post-rain atmosphere is also ideal for snakes. As cold-blooded animals, snakes rely on external temperatures to regulate their body heat. The moist, cooler environment after rain helps them move more comfortably and stay hydrated.
