"Chole Bhature Always Putting Me To Sleep": Australian Vlogger's Viral Reel Has Foodies Nodding In Agreement
After eating a particularly heavy dish or meal, many of us naturally find ourselves feeling drowsy. Some people purposely avoid certain foods because of this tendency. After all, long working days mostly afford no time for a post-lunch nap! Many Indian dishes are particularly known to induce this kind of "food coma", and one of them is the beloved North Indian combo of chole bhature. Recently, an Australian vlogger's reel on the same topic went viral on Instagram and resonated with many desi foodies.

This viral beauty hack can make you look 10 years younger
A viral beauty trend, is gaining popularity for its ability to reduce puffiness, tighten skin, and boost circulation, offering a youthful glow. Celebrities and makeup artists endorse this cost-effective treatment. Let's find out how it works. Social media is full of quick beauty fixes, but every now and then, a viral trend actually delivers. The ice cube facial is one such hack that's gone viral for all the right reasons. This simple, affordable, and natural skincare ritual has been credited with reducing puffiness, tightening skin, boosting blood circulation, and giving you that youthful, dewy glow, all from the comfort of your home. So, what makes this chilly trick so powerful? Let's break it down. What Is the ice cube facial? The ice cube facial involves rubbing ice cubes directly on your face or wrapping them in a clean cloth and gently massaging the skin. It's been around for decades, old Hollywood actresses swore by it - but thanks to TikTok and Instagram reels, it has now resurfaced as a go-to beauty ritual. From reducing inflammation to giving your skin a glass-like glow, this hack has gained millions of views online. And the best part? It costs virtually nothing. The science behind it: Why it works The benefits of ice on the skin stem from a process known as vasoconstriction - when your blood vessels constrict due to cold exposure. This leads to reduced inflammation, puffiness, and redness. But when your skin warms up again, the blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow and delivering oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells. Here's what that translates to: Reduced swelling and puffiness Smoother skin texture A natural glow due to increased circulation Tightened pores and firmer skin Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time Essentially, ice helps 'wake up' your face and gives it that youthful lift and plumpness that people spend thousands on. How to do an ice cube facial correctly Doing this hack the right way is crucial - improper use can lead to frostbite or irritation. Here's how to do it safely: Cleanse your skin first Start with a freshly washed face. Remove all traces of makeup, dirt, or sunscreen. Wrap the ice cube in a soft cloth or cotton pad Never apply ice directly to your skin for long periods as it can cause damage. Instead, use a clean muslin cloth, soft cotton napkin, or even a ziplock bag. Glide, don't rub Gently glide the ice over your skin using upward, circular motions. Focus on puffy areas like under the eyes, your cheeks, and jawline. Avoid keeping the ice on one area for too long. Limit the time Keep your session under 5 minutes. Over-icing can lead to skin irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Follow up with skincare Ice primes your skin beautifully for serums and moisturisers. Once your face returns to normal temperature, apply a hyaluronic acid serum or a hydrating cream to lock in the benefits. Add a twist: Infused ice cubes for bonus benefits Level up your ice cube facial by infusing your cubes with natural skin-boosting ingredients. Here are a few viral favourites: Green tea ice cubes: Packed with antioxidants, they help calm acne and reduce signs of ageing. Rose water ice cubes: For hydration, glow, and soothing inflammation. Cucumber juice ice cubes: Great for puffy eyes and tired skin. Aloe vera ice cubes: Perfect for sunburns and irritated skin. Coffee ice cubes: A quick de-puffing miracle before a big event. When to use it: Timing matters While you can do this hack once daily, many dermatologists recommend using it in the morning, especially when you've had a rough night, slept late, or woke up with a bloated face. It's also great before applying makeup as it tightens pores and helps your base go on smoother. Bonus tip: Use it right before an event to create that 'glass skin' finish. Celebrities and makeup artists swear by it International celebrities like Kate Moss, Alia Bhatt, and Janhvi Kapoor have all spoken about icing their faces before red carpets. Makeup artists also use this technique to reduce puffiness on clients before applying foundation and concealer. With its roots in both old-school glamour and K-beauty rituals, the ice cube facial is that rare beauty trend that spans generations and skin types. Is it worth the hype? Absolutely - if done correctly. It's one of the most cost-effective anti-ageing and glow-boosting treatments out there. However, remember that skincare is personal. If you have rosacea, broken capillaries, or extremely sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist before making ice cubes part of your routine. When combined with a balanced skincare regimen, good sleep, and sun protection, this icy ritual can genuinely help rewind the clock on tired, dull skin. Why the ice cube facial might be your new obsession Shrinks pores and firms skin Boosts glow and circulation Reduces puffiness instantly Great pre-makeup primer Super budget-friendly Facial Exercises by Dr Blossom Kochhar Customisable with ingredients like green tea or aloe vera So next time you feel your skin needs a little pick-me-up, skip the pricey serums and head straight to the freezer.

Ankur Warikoo details journey from hip decay to marathon running and six-pack abs: Can bones regenerate?
Entrepreneur and content creator Ankur Warikoo has taken to Instagram to document a transformative journey of not only recovering from a hip condition and 'no-walk' days but running a marathon, eventually losing body fat and developing chiselled abs at 44. In February 2012, Ankur was diagnosed with avascular necrosis, a condition where his hip bone was slowly decaying because of a lack of blood supply. He found himself in the unfortunate 10% of cases with no clear cause and was asked to stop walking. This was followed by a surgery, a trying and long recovery period with crutches, a determined 10-month effort of getting back on his feet and running a marathon. He found a new problem at 33, that he was overweight with 26% body fat. And now, after years of following a customised diet, sleep and fitness routine, his body is ripped and his fat percentage is below 10%. But does this routine work for everybody? 'The truth is, hip bone decay manifests differently in different people. So does the recovery and rehabilitation. Which is why a solution has to be medically guided and completely dependent on the bone recovery,' says Dr Raju Vaishya, Orthopaedic and Robotic Surgeon, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. What is avascular necrosis (AVN)? This is a condition when blood supply to the head of the femur (thigh bone) is disrupted, leading to bone tissue death and hip bone decay. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, prolonged steroid use, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medical conditions (like sickle cell disease) and even some medications. Over time, this can lead to joint collapse, especially in weight-bearing joints like the hip. It often begins with pain during movement and progresses to pain even at rest. In severe cases, doctors may advise complete rest or avoiding walking altogether to prevent further damage. What about treatment? Treatment options can include medication, joint-preserving surgeries or even joint replacement depending on the stage of the disease. We also do core decompression, which involves drilling small holes in the affected bone, relieving pressure and helping restore blood flow to the area. A bone graft is inserted to speed up healing. Can running a marathon help or harm in such a condition? Running a marathon after being diagnosed with AVN is not typically recommended unless the person has undergone successful treatment and rehabilitation. Get an endurance approval from your doctor. Always consult an orthopaedic specialist before considering high-impact exercise. Each case is different, and pushing too early can worsen the condition. Focus on the treatment no matter how long it takes Whether it's medication, physical therapy or surgery (such as hip replacement), the priority is to stabilise the joint and restore function. Start with low-impact exercise Activities like swimming, cycling, or elliptical training are preferred in early recovery. These strengthen muscles without stressing the joint. Then strengthen supporting muscles. Building muscle around the joint improves stability and reduces stress on the affected area. This is important if running is a long-term goal. If cleared by a doctor, transition slowly to walking, then light jogging. Studies show marathon running strengthens muscles and reduces the load on joints. Continued scans and check-ups are necessary to ensure that bone health is stable and there's no further degeneration.
