"Your Energy Is Sacred": Nutritionists Take On Mental Health
Ms Mukerjee stresses that there are certain people who drain our energy, lower our vibrations, make us feel unhappy, angry, anxious and sometimes sad.
The nutritionist suggests not to interact with people who drain your energy.
'And if you can't help it, let's say they stay in the same house as you, avoid them as much as possible. And if that's not possible, try not to engage with them deeply,' Ms Mukerjee says.
Besides arguing with them or proving your point to them, Ms Mukerjee advises not to 'engage with people who drain your energy.'
'You will feel much happier and healthier minus that negative energy,' she says at the end of the video.

Ms Mukerjee notes in the caption that living a healthy life involves more than simply what you eat. It is also 'about who you allow into your space,' she writes.
'If you can't avoid them completely, choose not to engage deeply… just preserve your inner calm. Your energy is sacred. Choose wisely where you invest it,' the nutritionist adds.
In a previous Instagram post, Anjali Mukerjee explained that 'energy doesn't come only from sleep and supplements.'
'It comes from setting boundaries, standing up for yourself, and minimising the stressors that weigh you down,' she said. As per the nutritionist, one should reclaim their energy by making changes, big or small.
'Seek therapy if needed, change your diet, nourish your body to support your mind,' she added.

13 kg weight loss with simple science based technique: Woman says no pills, no fad diets needed
Losing weight often feels complicated, with countless diets, supplements, and 'quick fixes' promising results. But one woman, Pearl, proved that sustainable fat loss can be achieved with simple, science-backed strategies. In an Instagram post on August 12, she shared how she lost 13 kilograms in six months without pills or fad diets, offering practical tips based on evidence and consistency. Pearl started her journey at 78 kg and successfully reduced her weight to 65 kg over half a year. She highlighted that the key to sustainable weight loss is consistent habits supported by scientific principles rather than short-term tricks.

By consuming fewer calories than her body expended, Pearl's body accessed stored fat for energy. She noted that this principle of energy balance has been validated by decades of research, referencing Hall et al. (2016), who explain how calorie deficit drives fat loss. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo Intermittent Fasting Pearl also followed intermittent fasting, limiting her meals to a six-hour window each day. She explained that this approach helps lower insulin levels, allowing the body to more easily tap into fat stores, while also supporting muscle preservation through increased human growth hormone (HGH) activity. Her post cites research by Ho et al. (1988) and Cahill (2006) on fasting and hormone regulation, as well as Varady (2011), which found intermittent fasting as effective as daily calorie restriction for fat loss. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pearl (@pearlpanjabi) Daily Movement: 10,000–12,000 Steps Regular walking was another cornerstone of Pearl's routine. She averaged 10,000 to 12,000 steps daily, noting that low-intensity movement burns calories, supports fat oxidation, and keeps metabolism active without intense exercise. This approach is consistent with findings from Ainsworth et al. (2011) and Heilbronn et al. (2005), which highlight the benefits of daily physical activity for weight management. Pearl stressed that there are no shortcuts or 'secret hacks' for fat loss. Her results came from combining a calorie deficit, intermittent fasting, and consistent movement. She encouraged her followers to adopt evidence-based strategies tailored to their lifestyle rather than relying on supplements or fad diets.

Saved 252 People: DMK Leader Appears To Defend Kidney Transplant Racket
Chennai: A controversial video has emerged of DMK MLA P Kathiravan, whose family-run hospital recently lost its kidney transplant licence over an alleged illegal organ trade racket. In the video, which NDTV could not independently verify, the legislator purportedly presents himself as a life-saver rather than a wrongdoer. "I've saved the lives of 252 people. None talks about this," Mr Kathiravan is heard saying while addressing people at his constituency. Detailing the procedures, he claims that each kidney transplant involved four specialist doctors - three surgeons, one urologist and an anaesthetist - along with 15 to 20 supporting staff, and that three separate permissions were required before surgery. "We charge Rs 10 to Rs 12 lakh per surgery. After paying for medicines and doctors, I get only Rs 2-3 lakh. Total surgeries done - 252. This is not worth a rupee. Since we have a medical college, we do this only as a service. There are a thousand ways to earn. Why kidney? How many can we take away?" he apparently says in the clip. Mr Kathiravan even refered to his father's luxury car. "My father's Rolls Royce is worth Rs 14.5 crore. I would have to take away all the kidneys here to buy that," he said, insisting that the hospital is now run by his daughter and son-in-law. Modus Operandi Earlier this month, the Tamil Nadu government suspended the kidney transplant licences of Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College Hospital in Perambalur - run by Kathiravan's family - and Cethar Hospitals in Trichy. A state health department probe found that the "family donor" provision under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act was allegedly misused, with poor weavers from Namakkal district being lured by brokers with large sums of money to sell their kidneys. These donors would then pose as relatives of recipients to pass legal scrutiny. One such alleged middleman, identified as Anandan, remains on the run, no arrest has been made yet. "Boasting Without Shame" Says BJP Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai slammed the MLA's comments, accusing him of "boasting without shame" and "admitting to a business worth crores". "Kathiravan says he made ₹2 to ₹3 lakh per surgery, which amounts to at least ₹7.5 crore from this trade. He even compares kidney profits to his father's ₹14.5 crore Rolls Royce. This isn't a joke - poor weavers were exploited, and the DMK government has taken no serious action. The middleman is still at large," Annamalai said. The video has come as an embarassment to the ruling DMK and the party has so far refrained from commenting on the controversy. Kathiravan was not reachable for a response.

Woman who went from 78 kg to 65 kg in 6 months shares her weight loss secrets: ‘Low-intensity walking burns calories'
Losing weight can feel like an uphill battle, especially with busy schedules, tempting food choices, and fitness routines that don't always stick. A woman named Pearl, who went from 78 kg to 65 kg in six months, shared in her August 12 Instagram post the practical tips and lifestyle changes that helped her achieve this transformation. Woman shares science-backed weight loss tips on Instagram. (Instagram/@pearlpanjabi) "From 78 kg to 65 kg in 6 months. No magic pills, no fad diets, just science and consistency. Here's exactly what worked for me and why it's proven to work," Pearl wrote in the caption. 1. Calorie deficit The principle of consuming fewer calories than the body expends, leading to fat loss, is well-supported by research. A study by Hall et al. (2016) demonstrated that a negative energy balance results in weight loss, confirming the foundational concept of calorie deficit in weight management. 2. Intermittent fasting (12 pm - 6 pm) Intermittent fasting, particularly time-restricted eating, has been shown to enhance fat oxidation and improve metabolic health. A study by Hoddy et al. (2016) found that alternate-day fasting increased fat oxidation by over 15 grams per day in non-obese subjects, indicating its potential for fat loss. 3. 10-12k steps daily Engaging in daily walking, aiming for 10,000 to 12,000 steps, has been associated with improved health outcomes. Research indicates that walking 10,000 steps daily can lead to reductions in body fat percentage and waist circumference, contributing to overall health improvement.
