Herbalife India Launches Sleep Enhance

This launch comes at a time when sleep disorders are increasingly prevalent in India, driven by hectic lifestyles, digital distractions, and rising stress levels.
In today's fast-paced world, quality sleep is no longer a luxury but a necessity.

Sleep Enhance is formulated with Affron, a genuine saffron extract that is shown to improve the quality of sleep when taken 1 hour before bedtime for at least 28 days.
Sleep Enhance is free from added sugars, artificial flavors, and caffeine, making it an effective addition to one's nighttime routine. It has a hibiscus flavor and contains a saffron extract which is clinically shown to improve sleep quality, improve mood after waking up, and help one wake up with a feeling of calmness.

Sleep Enhance contains saffron extract that is clinically shown to improve the quality of sleep and helps you wake up with a feeling of calmness. In today's fast-paced world, where sleep deprivation has become the norm, we are committed to helping people reclaim their nights and, ultimately, their well-being," said Ajay Khanna, Managing Director, Herbalife India.

How to manage high blood pressure with simple lifestyle tweaks
Just under a month ago, the world celebrated Hypertension Day on May 17. Considering an even more recent report published by online medical site Healio, Hypertension unawareness rose from 2013 to 2023, you might reason that having a day just for this condition that silently creeps on us is essential. Furthermore, a May 2024 WHO (World Health Organisation) report states that Indians have been consuming nearly twice the recommended amount of sodium (10.98 gms). And this is making the population more susceptible to high blood pressure (hypertension). WHO's recommendation is to use Lower Sodium Salt Substitutes (LSSS). Unavoidable as hypertension or blood pressure is, Lounge spoke to experts to know if there are simple tweaks you could make to your daily to control this condition before it turns severe. Also read: A guide to understanding inflammation and ways to combat it's negative effects 'While the risk of developing hypertension increases as one ages, recent research has revealed alarming statistics about its prevalence among Indian adolescents, with rates as high as 25 per cent. That's why it's important for people with a family history of diabetes and hypertension to start getting regular BP checks in their mid-20s. Others can wait until their early 30s to start testing for hypertension," says Dr Anuja Agarwala, vice president, Indian Dietetic Association, Delhi. According to Agarwala, parents should be aware that hypertension can exist in children too. So, if high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases run in the family, schedule regular BP checks for your children too. SYMPTOMS 'About a decade back, hypertension would happen to those in their 50s. These days, due to high stress, lifestyle, genetic factors and addictions, people are getting hypertension at even 28. And the risk is higher if you're obese," notes Dr Swarup Swaraj Pal, head of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai. Pal explains that hypertension happens when calcium gets deposited in the lining of the blood vessels, causing it to harden. This adds pressure to the heart as it's pumping harder. If left unattended, this can eventually result in cardiovascular disease. The most common symptoms of hypertension, according to Pal, are sleep deprivation, an inability to focus, throbbing headaches and fluctuation in energy levels. More serious symptoms could include blacking out and being on the verge of collapsing. 'Get your blood pressure checked every three-six months, especially if you're above 30," he advises, and reiterates that the risk of one being affected by hypertension is high if you have parents who are obese or have a history of heart disease. 'While women are more or less protected by the hormone estrogen till age 45 or 50, after menopause, they too are at a risk of suffering from hypertension," Pal adds. Hypertension, Agarwala says, manifests in symptoms as small as headaches. 'What makes it particularly dangerous is that it does not cause specific symptoms until it's too late. If not managed well, hypertension can lead to serious health issues, such as heart disease, stroke and kidney disease," she cautions. Also read: Why short bursts of cold showers are good for you WAYS TO MANAGE HYPERTENSION Apart from medication, Agarwala's top tips for managing hypertension naturally include quitting drinking and smoking; getting adequate sleep for about eight hours; reducing exposure to stressful environments– if your work environment is stressful, step out every four hours or so; and exercise three-four times a week. She cannot stress enough about the importance of physical exercises. 'It is important to make time for it at least 3-4 times a week. But those who are unable to dedicate time for exercise should try and include more walking into their daily routine. Walking 10,000 steps a day is considered beneficial for your cardiovascular health." It's also crucial to be aware of how sodium insidiously adds up in your diet. It might be the chutney you eat at lunch or those rice crackers you have at tea. According to Agarwala, including fruits and vegetables in your diet is another effective way to maintain healthy blood pressure. GET CREATIVE WITH INGREDIENTS Mysuru-based Dr. Jamuna Prakash, former professor, food science and nutrition, University of Mysore, says, managing hypertension isn't about entirely cutting out namkeens us Indians are so fond of from our diet, but consuming it judiciously. 'Whilst cooking, pairing salt with low-sodium seasonings like MSG (monosodium glutamate), along with an assortment of herbs and spices, can bring out an ideal balance of umami, saltiness, and other traditional Indian flavors—making for a satisfying meal without the need for additional sodium," she says. Adding smokiness to your paneer and chicken preparations can provide additional complexity to the flavor profile of the dish, says Mumbai-based chef Ajay Chopra. 'Borrowing from culinary practices around the world, like using kombu or seaweed broth, as done in Japan, can create umami in certain soups and curries. Adding lemon juice is another way to add flavour to your dishes, and stimulate your taste buds," he notes. Sumitra Nair is an independent journalist based in Kochi.

Covaxin maker Bharat Biotech's nasal vaccine ready to take on new covid strains
New Delhi: Bharat Biotech International Ltd, which developed the covaxin vaccine to protect against earlier variants of covid-19, says its intranasal and injectable vaccine platforms are ready to be adapted for new strains of the disease. India has recorded 5,755 active covid cases, according to the Union health ministry's data issued on Sunday. The nation also reported four new fatalities in the last 24 hours, taking the total covid death toll since 1 January to 59. Health officials have identified two new JN.1 covid variants as the cause of the fresh wave of the infectious disease. Suchrita Ella, managing director of Bharat Biotech, said the company's nasal vaccine iNCOVACC is 'specifically designed for flexibility to adapt to circulating strains, protection in upper respiratory tract, and easy administration without injections". 'Bharat Biotech's covid-19 vaccine platforms, both the injectable and intranasal versions, are enabled for adaptation. However, any decision to restart production is contingent upon regulatory agency approvals," she said in an email interview. 'We continue to work in close coordination with regulatory bodies to ensure preparedness always aligns with evolving scientific and safety standards," Ella said, adding that the company is monitoring the situation and is "well positioned to respond effectively". Also read | Covid cases are rising again. Should we be worried? Bharat Biotech and Serum Institute of India manufactured billions of doses of vaccines for Indians and for supplying to more than 100 countries during the first few waves of the covid pandemic. The last covid vaccine batches were manufactured a year ago, with no visibility on new stocks. Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, a former chief scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO), recently emphasized the need for vaccine manufacturers to update their formulas based on new variants, warning that vaccines developed for the original covid strain would offer little protection now. Bharat Biotech halted production of covaxin due to a decline in demand in early 2022 and destroyed significant quantities of its vaccine stock. 'Subsequently, we proceeded with the destruction of about 200 million doses of bulk and about 50 million doses of vaccines in vials," Ella said. Asked if booster doses should be given to high-risk populations, Ella said that remained subject to national regulatory approval. Also read | India steps up surveillance as covid-19 cases surge in Hong Kong and Singapore India's covid preparedness The Union health ministry, while stating that most current covid cases are mild, has directed states and union territories to increase testing and ensure medical preparedness across health facilities, reviewing the availability of oxygen, isolation beds, ventilators, and essential medicines. A nationwide mock drill was conducted last week to assess the functionality of oxygen supply systems in hospitals. The Union government has also advised the public to practise covid-appropriate behaviour, especially avoiding crowded places when unwell and seeking medical intervention. State and district surveillance units are also closely monitoring cases of influenza-like illness (ILL) and severe acute respiratory illness (SARI). As per government guidelines, all admitted SARI patients and 5% of ILI cases are to be tested for covid. Scientists at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) are conducting genome sequencing of positive samples to track the variants. The latest covid wave is attributed to two new coronavirus variants—NB.1.8.1 and LF.7, which are mutations of the Omicron offspring JN.1 variant. Kerala has reported the maximum number of covid cases this year, at 1,373, followed by Maharashtra (510), Delhi (457), Gujarat (461), and West Bengal (431). According to the Union health ministry, 760 people have recovered from covid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of recoveries this year to 5,484.

Union Health Minister JP Nadda: Ask for calories in whatever you eat
BENGALURU: Warning that one in three Indians could be obese by 2050 if unhealthy eating habits continue, Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Saturday urged people to 'ask for calories in whatever you eat.' Nadda was speaking at a function to mark 'World Food Safety Day', where he launched several initiatives such as sugar and oil boards, and the eat right activity book on the theme, 'Stop Obesity by Eating Safe and Healthy'. Citing an ICMR study, he said obesity increased by 39.6% in urban and 23.1% in rural areas between 2008 and 2020, highlighting how lifestyle diseases are spreading beyond cities. 'Obesity is rising due to increasing intake of ultra-processed foods and changing food patterns. This is a serious public health concern,' Nadda said.
