Cardiologist warns ‘do not eat more than twice a day, cook in non-stick pans'; shares 5 ways to preserve heart health
Taking care of your heart does not just involve a healthy diet and regular workouts. It also includes making lifestyle changes and removing habits that may be harming your heart more than you know. A lot of people who go to the gym these days believe that eating six times a day is the only option. However, the cardiologist warned that is far from truth. (Unsplash/Farhad Ibrahimzade) Also Read | Cardiologist reveals 5 essential heart health tests that could save your life: Not just EKG or echocardiogram In an Instagram post shared on August 11, Dr Alok Chopra, functional medicine expert and cardiologist, shared his insights on 5 tips that can help preserve your heart health. He also warned against some common lifestyles and popular trends, including vaping and cooking in non-stick pans. Let's find out what the cardiologist suggested: How to preserve your heart health? 1. Vaping: When asked about vaping and how it is becoming one of the more popular trends among Gen Z, Dr Chopra warned that vaping is not better than smoking; in fact, it's worse than smoking. According to data provided by the National Health Institutes (NIH), vaping has been found to cause similar effects as smoking on lung function and cardiovascular function. 2. Alcohol consumption: Some people think that drinking alcohol occasionally or only on the weekends is not that harmful to their bodies. Answering the age-old question, 'How often should we drink?', he clarified, 'I think once or twice a week is best. Try to avoid hard liquor; red wine and white wine are better options.' 3. Non-stick pans: As for non-stick pans, the cardiologist cautioned that people should not use them for long because they are very harmful to your body. The layer in the non-stick pan will ultimately break down, although you won't see it happening. 4. 2 meals a day: A lot of people who go to the gym these days believe that eating six times a day is the only option. However, Dr Chopra stated, 'If I eat 100 times a day or three or six times a day, I am storing fat six times a day. That is why we say do not eat more than twice.' 5. Allulose: Laslty, allulose is often considered a good alternative to sugar. Per the cardiologist, allulose is made from table sugar and is better than sugar, but it is still sugar. Therefore, portion control is the key. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

‘Boycott Them': Lizard Found Baked Inside Tandoori Roti At Kanpur Dabha
Last Updated: A customer unwraps a foil-covered stack of rotis, only to find one with a dead lizard stuck between its layers. In recent times, reports of insects being found in food, particularly in school meals and mess halls, have raised serious concerns about food safety and hygiene. Adding to these worries, a shocking video from a local dhaba in the GT Road area of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has been making rounds on social media. It shows two customers confronting the staff after discovering an entire baby lizard baked inside a tandoori roti. In the clip, a customer unwraps a foil-covered stack of rotis, only to find one with a dead lizard lodged between its layers. Holding it up to the camera, he reveals the reptile's head protruding from the bread. The clip begins with the customer lashing out at the staff member for their negligence and poor hygiene in their kitchen. He said, 'Chhipkali ka poora bacha hai. Choti-moti cheez nahi hai jo dikhai na padi ho, bahot badi cheez hai ye (There is a whole baby lizard here. It is not a small thing that could have been missed, it's a very big thing)." He added that his family members vomited after consuming this contaminated roti. How Did Social Media React? As soon as the clip was shared online, it quickly grabbed attention and sparked a wave of reactions. While some users slammed the restaurant for poor food quality and negligence, others defended it, calling the incident an unfortunate mistake. An Instagram user wrote, 'This is a very condemnable and irresponsible act." Another one wrote, 'These types of restaurants should be closed." One of them shared, 'An FIR should be filed against them." A person shared, 'Boycott this dabha." 'Brother, this is a very good Dhaba. Everyone makes mistakes; it must have happened by mistake," a comment reads. Another one shared, 'All they care about is money." Legal Action Against The Dhaba According to India Today, the incident prompted the Kanpur Food Safety Department to inspect the dhaba. Sanjay Kumar Singh, a food safety inspector, stated that their two-person team found 'a lot of dirt" on the premises. 'We took samples of tandoori paneer and vegetables for testing. The dhaba was subsequently sealed," he said. Reports indicate that local police have not yet received a formal complaint and can only take action once it is filed. Although they have viewed the video, no FIR has been registered so far. The dhaba, reportedly owned by Sonu Bajpai, has not issued a statement on the matter. The identities of the customers and the exact date of the incident remain unknown.

5 herbs that boost gut health, according to a top gastroenterologist
Gut health significantly impacts digestion, energy, and mood. Dr. Saurabh Sethi recommends incorporating common herbs like turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and ginger, which relieves nausea and aids digestion. Fennel seeds ease gas and bloating, while cumin promotes bile secretion. Cinnamon regulates blood sugar and calms gut motility, offering a natural approach to digestive wellness. One of the best ways to take care of your health is to start with your gut. From keeping your digestion smooth to adjusting your energy levels and mood for the day, gut health has a lot more significance than you assume. For instance, how would your day look if you felt bloated? Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a board-certified gastroenterologist trained at Harvard and Stanford, has emphasized the importance of gut health and also discussed some herbs that can help keep your digestive system in top shape. Take a look. Turmeric Taking care of your gut health doesn't necessarily mean spending on expensive and fancy supplements. Simple herbs that you find in your kitchen can help. For instance, turmeric. Turmeric has been used for its healing properties for ages, thanks to curcumin, its active compound known for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Dr. Sethi explains that turmeric helps reduce gut inflammation and supports bile flow, which aids in the digestion of fats. 'Add to warm milk or curries to soothe from the inside out,' he suggested. Ginger Your mum would have given you ginger shots every time you complained of indigestion. The gut doctor also agrees that ginger can help relieve nausea, whether caused by motion sickness, pregnancy, or digestive upset. It also stimulates saliva, bile, and gastric enzymes to improve overall digestion. If you are feeling bloated, ginger is the go-to medicine. 'I steep ginger in tea daily, especially after large meals,' Dr. Sethi says. You can also add them to your stir fries, soups, and smoothies. Fennel seeds Fennel seeds have long been praised for their digestive benefits. These seeds are used in Indian and Mediterranean cuisines to enhance the flavour, and also boost digestion. Dr. Sethi reveals that fennel seeds can naturally relieve gas and bloating. They contain compounds that help relax gastrointestinal muscles, making them effective against gas and bloating. 'Chew after meals or make a calming tea (your grandma was right),' he adds. Cumin Yes, the humble cumin in your kitchen is packed with health benefits, especially for the gut. It promotes bile secretion, which helps break down fats and improves nutrient absorption. Dr. Sethi reveals that cumin is also helpful in relieving the abdominal cramps linked with irritable bowel syndrome. 'Toast it into your dals or veggie stir-fries,' he suggests. Cinnamon Cinnamon has more beneficial effects than its spicy sweetness. Often used in sweet treats and non-vegetarian preparations, cinnamon is also known for its digestive benefits. Dr. Sethi stresses that it can help regulate blood sugar, which in turn supports steady energy and reduces digestive stress. It can also calm gut motility, so people who experience alternating constipation and diarrhea may find this herb more effective. You can add cinnamon to your oats, kefir, or sprinkle it in your coffee. 'Kahin Bada, Kahin Chhota': Ravi Kishan Uses Samosa Analogy To Demand Regulation Of Food Prices
