Doctor shares 5 Indian foods that help lower bad cholesterol naturally: ‘Heart health begins in kitchen'
Struggling with high cholesterol and looking for natural ways to manage it? Instead of relying solely on medications, turning to your kitchen might be a smart first step. In his May 29 Instagram post, Dr Sumit Kapadia, vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist, shares five everyday Indian foods that can help lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while supporting overall heart health. (Also read: Cardiologist shares how to protect your heart at every age: Smart habits to build in your 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond ) "I often remind my patients: heart health begins in the kitchen. Cholesterol buildup can silently damage your arteries until it's too late. But the good news? Your everyday Indian diet has powerful tools to fight LDL cholesterol naturally," Dr Sumit wrote in the caption. Here are 5 Indian foods Dr Sumit recommends to help protect your heart: A post shared by Dr Sumit Kapadia (@drsumitkapadia) Packed with soluble fibre, methi helps bind cholesterol in the gut and blocks its absorption. For best results, soak the seeds overnight and consume them in the morning. Surprisingly, coconut can be heart-friendly when used mindfully. Whether as oil or grated, it may help raise good cholesterol (HDL), which in turn helps balance out LDL. This underrated superfood is rich in mucilage, a gel-like substance that traps cholesterol and helps flush it out of the body naturally. These fruits are high in pectin and antioxidants, supporting liver function and helping to lower cholesterol over time. Pick whichever is local and in season. A staple in Indian kitchens, garlic is known to lower total cholesterol and blood pressure. Just 1–2 raw cloves a day can have powerful effects. Tip: Want to lower your LDL without giving up your favourite cultural foods? Start with small changes, be consistent, and let food be your first medicine.

As Centre mulls easing norms for local telecom gear makers, GX Group flags import surge risk
New Delhi: Relaxation in value-addition norms for domestically-manufactured telecom equipment without proper guardrails may enhance risk of imports from non-trusted sources, a top official of GX Group has said. The Department of Telecom (DoT) has started a review of local value-addition norms in telecom equipment following reports that manufacturers are facing a challenge in achieving 50-60% local content in electronic and telecom products due to limited component ecosystem in the country. The move comes at a time when the government has rolled out a Rs 23,000-crore electronics component manufacturing scheme to enhance local value addition in domestically manufactured electronic products. "The consideration of a review to local content norms is a welcome move, however, relaxations need to come with caution on specific components. "Reducing value addition without utmost caution can enhance risk of increase in imports from non-trusted nations," GX Group CEO Paritosh Prajapati told PTI. GX Group is a beneficiary under the telecom sector's production linked incentive (PLI) scheme. The company has its manufacturing facility in Manesar and a research and development centre in Chennai. "The security-sensitive telecom equipment segment is already being infested from imported products, which is mitigating growth of indigenous production under telecom PLI scheme ," Prajapati said. The DoT on June 3 invited comments on the review of the Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India ) from industry bodies -VoICE, TEMA, ICEA, COAI and MAIT, original equipment makers --Tejas, VVDN, HFCL, Nokia, Ericsson and CISCO. It has also invited comments from electronics manufacturing services companies Dixon, Syrma, Neolync and Jabil as well as public sector firms like BSNL and TCIL. The DoT has given 30 days for stakeholders to submit their comments. Prajapati said that GX Group and other industry stakeholders have been completely focused on indigenisation mandates and have built a robust local manufacturing ecosystem along with local R&D and IP rights in the past few years. He said that given the Indian component space is still growing somewhat, relaxations of the norms may bring in some relief to the industry for specific components only to ensure that Indian players become more competitive. "Foreign companies coming in to cater to the diverse Indian market should also invest in R&D within the country and make efforts to maximise local production of required components and sub-components," Prajapati said. He said that there are instances wherein global players expand into the market but rely on assembling of products rather than creating products and adding value, in a way not investing in the local economy but only ready to cater to the market demand and enhance revenues. "Relaxation in value addition norms should be accompanied with conditions like technology transfer, timeline for capacity development in India, phase-wise manufacturing programme, etc," Prajapati said.
