In the post, Mehta referenced
auto-brewery syndrome
, a rare condition in which gut microbes ferment carbohydrates (like those in bread) into ethanol. This can cause symptoms of intoxication even without alcohol consumption.
'If you must have bread for any reason,' Mehta advised, 'consume
Isabgol
(psyllium husk) at night and again first thing in the morning' to support digestion and
gut health

Cardiologists says he wishes more people knew how to 'avoid open heart surgery': No chest cutting, bypass machine needed
Dr Dmitry Yaranov, a cardiologist known as 'Heart Transplant Doc' on Instagram, took to the platform on August 9 to share a post in which he said, 'Being a cardiologist for years, I wish more people knew they could avoid open-heart surgery.' In his post, the doctor explained how mitral and tricuspid valves are crucial in maintaining blood flow in the right direction. Also read | Minimally invasive cardiac surgery: Heart risks for your parents, benefits, lifestyle changes, recovery secrets The cardiologist explained how minimally invasive procedures like MitraClip and TriClip offer promising solutions for patients with leaky heart valves. (Representative image) He said, 'We used to crack open the chest to fix a leaky heart valve. Now? We clip it — through a vein. Let's talk mitral and tricuspid valves — the heart's inlet valves, constantly working to keep blood flowing in the right direction. But when they leak — called regurgitation — blood flows backward, and the heart starts to fail.' What are MitraClip and TriClip? When these valves leak, it can lead to serious complications, but fortunately, advancements in medical technology have introduced minimally invasive procedures to address these issues, Dr Yaranov highlighted. He said, 'Old-school fix? Open-heart surgery. Not everyone could handle it. Today? We've flipped the script. With devices like MitraClip (for mitral) and TriClip (for tricuspid), we can fix the valve without surgery.' MitraClip is a device used to treat mitral regurgitation, a condition where the mitral valve leaks, allowing blood to flow backward. The MitraClip is inserted through a vein in the leg and clips the valve's leaflets together to reduce leakage. TriClip, a similar device designed for the tricuspid valve, also clips the leaflets together to minimise regurgitation. The TriClip is specifically made for the tricuspid valve and has shown promising results in reducing symptoms and hospitalisations for heart failure. 'Small clip, big impact' Explaining these, Dr Yaranov said, 'Just a catheter through a vein in the leg. No chest cutting. No bypass machine. Just a tiny clip, placed right on the valve. It brings the leaflets together, reduces the leak, and the patient usually goes home the next day. Mitral regurgitation is the most common valve disease in the US. And tricuspid used to be ignored — but not anymore. We're now treating patients who were once told 'there's nothing we can do'. And they're walking out stronger — without ever seeing an OR (operating room). This isn't the future of valve care. It's happening now. Small clip. Big impact.' What is an open heart surgery? According to The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), open heart surgery is a procedure where surgeons operate on the heart after making a large incision in the chest to access the heart and surrounding structures. It's typically used to address severe heart conditions like coronary artery disease, faulty valves, or congenital defects. During the surgery, a heart-lung bypass machine often maintains circulation while the heart is stopped to allow for repair.

Fitness coach reveals 10 'painful sacrifices she made to lose 25 kg in 4 months' that helped her see results faster
Amaka, a fitness coach, lost 25 kg in four months by making significant lifestyle changes. In an Instagram post on August 14, she listed the 'painful sacrifices' involved in her weight loss journey. Also read | Protein intake for fat loss: Fitness coach shares 6 weight loss secrets you didn't know before Amaka, a fitness coach, shared her weight loss journey, where she lost 25 kg in 4 months. (Representative picture) She said, 'At first, it was really hard. I complained, and I almost gave up. But these were the sacrifices that changed my body and my mindset and helped me see results faster, and it was so worth it in the end.' Here's how Amaka lost the weight: 1. Saying goodbye to comfort foods Amaka said, 'This will be really hard, but for real progress to be seen visibly, I would have to let go of the junk and cut off late-night snacking completely. And yes, it will be really painful, having to always say no to gifts like chocolates, pastries, etc. But every 'no' I said to junk was a 'yes' to my goals, and honestly, in the end, it will be the best decision ever.' 2. Early morning workouts even when tired 'For me, this is the best time to exercise because most times, once I start my day, I mostly procrastinate and never ever get to exercise till the next day. Waking up at 5:30 or 6am to move my body when my bed was so hard, because that's when the sleep was sweetest, but those early workouts gave me consistency and discipline, especially with staying committed to my required daily calorie deficit meal plan. Exercising early gave me an automatic energy boost to start my day right,' she added. 3. Intermittent fasting was a must Amaka said, 'I constantly made sure and was intentional with intermittent fasting, detoxing 2-3 days a week, even on days I did not feel like it, I made a rule to always include 2-3 days of fruit/detox fast; this helped with snatching my waistline.' 4. No night outs and drinking She added, 'Saying 'no' to nights out, totally eliminating fizzy drinks and alcohol, and avoiding places I knew would tempt me. My friends didn't always get it, but I knew my future self would thank me, and it would all be worth it in the end, and yes, it helped me break the endless cycle of having to restart my journey after overindulging whenever I went out. Staying inside helped me save my money and also lose more weight easily.' 5. Eating when needed, not when wanted Amaka shared, 'This is a hard decision but I noticed, if I wait until I was really hungry before I had something to eat, I always end up over-Eating or excessively snacking later during the day, so I made a decision to eat when it's my time to eat and not to keep pushing until I'm hungry and this helped eliminate cravings and I was always constantly satisfied with my daily meal portion, I stayed in a calorie deficit easily, and this is important to see results.' 6. Pushing through the mental battles 'I learnt the hard way that losing weight is more mental than physical. The hardest part wasn't my body, it was my mind telling me to quit. I had to fight the voice that said 'It's not worth it' and keep going anyway, I had to constantly remind myself that this is beyond weight loss, it's about a lifestyle change, maintaining a healthy body and breaking out of endless procrastination,' she said. 7. Tracking everything she ate According to the fitness coach, it was annoying and time-consuming at first, 'but knowing exactly what went into her body kept her from lying to herself about my habits and food portions and helped her stay more on track'. 8. Working out and staying committed when she didn't feel like it She said, 'Rain, cramps, bad mood, a bad day, and even on days when they scale decided to misbehave, I still showed up, even if it's not 100 percent, because I know what matters is consistency, and to be honest, motivation didn't get me results, discipline did.' 9. Patience with the scale 'I'll keep reminding myself that some weeks, my weight didn't move at all, and I know it will hurt, but I'll try my best to keep up showing up and pushing, trusting the process instead of letting frustration win and focusing on other ways of measuring my progress, like taking pictures and retaking my measurements,' she added. 10. Constantly asked for help and strength from God Amaka concluded, 'This was less of a sacrifice. I constantly asked for help and strength from God daily to keep pushing, and he really failed me, because daily my strength failed me. He came through for me above my expectations, continuously renewed my strength, took control over my sugar cravings and blessed my hard work with amazing results.'
