How To Improve Digestion? Here Are 4 Food Hacks You Need To Try:
According to Ralston, you can prevent digestive issues by making small changes in your everyday meals and cooking methods. Here are the hacks he shared:
1. Adding Hing To Dal
If you add a pinch of hing to dal, the hing helps break down the complex carbs in dal, making it easier to digest. This helps reduce gas and bloating, providing relief from discomfort.
2. Cooking Mustard And Jeera Seeds In Oil
The fitness coach explains that cracking mustard seeds and jeera seeds in hot oil before cooking helps release essential oils like thymol, which supports digestion.
3. Squeezing Lemon Juice On Dal
When enjoying dal, make sure to squeeze some lemon juice on top. He says that doing so can increase iron absorption from dal by up to 300%.
4. Letting Idli Batter Ferment
He also recommends letting the idli batter ferment for some time before cooking. This helps increase B vitamins and folate in it, while reducing anti-nutrients, making it easier to digest.

Wellness Expert's 5 Simple Habits To Balance Your Metabolism, Hormones & Emotions
Good health is never about one big change. It is the small, everyday actions that slowly add up to make a difference in our energy, mood and overall well-being. The way we wake up, how we move, the light we get during the day, and even how we treat people – each of these affects our metabolism, hormones, emotions and quality of sleep. On Sunday, wellness guru Luke Coutinho shared a weekly challenge on Instagram that reminds us to get back to these basics. No fancy diets, no complicated routines – just simple practices that anyone can follow. Here's a breakdown of his challenge: 1. Morning sunlight ritual 'Before putting your phones on, step to your window, balcony, or garden and connect with natural sunlight,' Luke wrote. Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning light. This helps reset your body clock, improves mood, and supports hormonal balance. You can pray, reflect, set intentions, or simply enjoy silence while soaking in the light. 2. Sunset pause Take another 15 minutes before the sun sets to step outside and connect with natural light. Even on cloudy days, the light works. This small pause helps calm the mind and prepares you for deeper sleep at night. 3. Strength training At least 3 days of strength training a week is a must. It does not have to be heavy lifting – you can do bodyweight exercises or resistance bands. Strength training builds metabolism, supports hormone health and keeps your body strong. 4. Sleep consistency Stick to the same bedtime and wake-up time for at least 5 out of 7 days. Regular sleep patterns allow the body to recover better and improve overall well-being. 5. Daily kindness Find one person every day to say something kind to or genuinely appreciate. It could be a loved one, a friend, or even someone at work. Small acts of kindness release positive emotions that support emotional health. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Luke Coutinho - Official (@luke_coutinho) That is it. Five simple steps that cover the mind, body and soul. As Luke Coutinho says, the sun behind the clouds is still there, and so is your potential for better health behind your daily choices.

How Fibre Has Become The New Protein With Viral Reels And Gut-Health Talk
"Stop obsessing over protein and start eating more fibre. Research shows most people, including vegans, already get enough protein. But 90% of us don't hit the recommended 30g+ of fibre a day," shares Dr Bhasha Mukherjee, a General Practitioner and an influencer, on her social media. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dr Bhasha Mukherjee (@bhashamukherjee) Dr Mukherjee is not wrong. The sudden obsession with hitting one's protein goal is everywhere. Some call it the protein revolution not only in India but across the globe. Brands have jumped on the bandwagon, with countless high-protein products flooding the shelves. Numbers tell the story too. The India Protein Market is estimated at 1.52 billion USD in 2025 and is expected to touch 2.08 billion USD by 2030. But now another nutrient is stealing the spotlight: fibre. The growing chatter around it is not just a passing fad; it seems to be here to stay, and social media has amplified the buzz. Experts are now urging people to focus as much on fibre goals as on protein intake. Fibre Goals Over Protein Goals "For a long time, the focus in health and fitness conversations was on protein for muscle building and weight loss but people are now realising that gut health, digestion, and metabolic health are equally important and fibre plays a huge role in all three. Social media trends and the rise in gut microbiome testing have brought more awareness," says Tanya Khanna, Nutritionist and Yoga Trainer at Alyve Health. Swatee Sandhan, Chief Dietician, Jupiter Hospital, Pune, agrees. She says she has also observed the growing popularity of fibre, especially in urban India, due to knowledge of the establishment of gut health and prevention of chronic diseases. The campaigns on social media and wellness focus on foods rich in fibre, such as millets, and vegetables and this attracts health-motivated millennials, she says. "On the one hand, protein leads through the influence of fitness culture and supplement promotion; on the other hand, the relatively low price of the fibre products and its availability in such Indian staples as dal and ragi drive the rise of fibre," Swatee adds. What Is Causing This Hype The hype around fibre is being fuelled by both research and social media culture. Documentaries and scientific studies linking gut health with mood, immunity, weight, and even skin have pushed fibre into the spotlight. Tanya Khanna explains, "High-fibre is becoming a label claim like high-protein used to be. Trends such as 'fibremaxxing' on TikTok promote higher fibre intake as key to better gut health." Swatee Sandhan also points out that this is not simply a case of fibre replacing protein. "India is experiencing obesity and digestive concerns. It is not about garnering business on substitution of protein but sustainable health. One must include natural fibre sources, reduce processed food, and increase hydration to keep the dependency on supplements minimum," she says. This hype has made fibre quite popular in the dietary market, across the globe, including India. Today you can find various brands selling 'fibre' too -- fibre sachets, supplements, food that are rich in fibre and more. The Indian market is projected to reach USD 889.9 million by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8% from 2024 to 2030. But What Exactly Is Fibre Dietary fibre is the part of plant-based foods that the human body cannot fully digest (which might sound like a bad thing, but it actually is not). Unlike proteins, fats, or carbohydrates that break down and release energy, fibre passes through the digestive system largely intact. There are two main types of fibre: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre, found in foods such as oats, apples, beans, and lentils, dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance that helps lower cholesterol and stabilise blood sugar. Insoluble fibre, present in whole grains, nuts, and many vegetables, adds bulk to stool and keeps bowel movements regular. Both types are essential for good health, and most plant foods provide a mix of the two. Why Is Fibre Important Fibre's importance goes beyond digestion. Tanya Khanna says, "Fibre helps feed your good gut bacteria, slows glucose absorption, lowers cholesterol levels, and helps you feel full, reducing overeating." According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the recommended daily allowance is around 25-30 grams (about 14 grams per 1,000 kcal). But studies show that most Indians consume less than half this requirement, largely due to diets high in refined carbs and processed foods. Swatee Sandhan notes, "A diet of dal (1-2 gm), two rotis (4-5 gm) and vegetables (5 gm) achieves only half the requirement. Most Indians fall short, which is why it is important to include whole grains, legumes, and fruits rich in fibre." Experts also suggest that fibre supports weight management by keeping you satiated, reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and colon cancer, and improves gut microbiome diversity, boosting immunity. Too Much Fibre Overconsumption of fibre can cause discomfort. Khanna warns, "The possible side effects of too much fibre are bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. Constipation can occur if fibre is increased without enough water. It can interfere with mineral absorption if consumed in excessive amounts. It is important to increase fibre gradually and drink at least 2-3 litres of water daily." How To Hit Your Fibre Goals (Ft Indian Households) Fibre doesn't require fancy supplements or imported products. Skip fibre supplements, as experts say Indian kitchens already hold the answers. Everyday staples like dal, whole wheat roti, fruits, and vegetables can cover most of the requirements if planned well. Millets, like ragi, bajra, jowar which are making a comeback thanks to campaigns and government initiatives, are excellent sources too. Tanya Khanna sums it up perfectly, "Think of protein and fibre as teammates. Protein builds your body, but fibre keeps it running smoothly. Both are essential, but most of us need to focus more on getting enough fibre every day." The Fibre Take The fibre conversation is no longer just background noise in nutrition circles. Social media, rising gut-health awareness, and affordable Indian staples are fuelling its rise. While protein remains vital, fibre is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Cardiologist says 99% supplements are just ‘expensive urine': ‘Propaganda I'm not falling for'
Are supplements worth it? Recent discourse around deficiencies or general health has promoted the usage of supplements among the general public. With people buying over-the-counter supplements to deal with deficiencies they don't even have or to attain certain health goals. But should they be in your daily diet? Ninety-nine percent of the supplements you buy are going to be expensive urine at best, and end in health issues. (Shutterstock) Also read | 100-year-old woman says she walks 4 miles every day to stay fit, shares secret to longevity: 'A lot of exercise, sleep' According to Dr Danielle Belardo, MD, a preventive cardiologist from Los Angeles, California, supplements are 'just expensive urine'. While attending the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) 2025 Congress on CVD Prevention, Dr Belardo was asked what propaganda she would not fall for, and her answer was supplements. Let's find out why. 'Supplements are just making you have pricey pee' In an Instagram post, shared by CardioVisual, the cardiologist explained why she is against supplements. She emphasised that supplements outside of deficiency or guideline-directed use are often ineffective, sometimes harmful, and rarely a substitute for evidence-based cardiovascular prevention. Explaining her take, Dr Belardo said, 'The use of supplements outside of deficiency or guideline-directed use is definitely propaganda I'm not falling for. Ninety-nine percent of the supplements you buy are going to be expensive urine at best, and end in organ damage, kidney damage, liver damage, and a lot of other problems at worst.' Why are supplements unnecessary? When should you consume them? Dr Belardo further emphasised that those hair, skin, and nail supplements, or fish oil supplements, that people consume liberally, aren't doing anything for you. Adding that fish oil supplements increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm). She further stressed that supplements outside of a diagnosed deficiency or a guideline indication are unnecessary. However, that is not always the case. Under guideline indications, some supplements are necessary, like a prenatal vitamin for women of childbearing age, vitamin D if you live in a certain zone, or B12 for people who are plant-based. 'There are specific indications,' she stressed. Lastly, Dr Belardo stated, 'The general supplement industry, which is a multi-billion-dollar industry, is just making you have pricey pee. Or worse, some bad things can happen to you.' According to the National Institutes of Health, current research does not show enough evidence that vitamin or mineral supplements are beneficial for preventing or treating heart disease. Moreover, the Columbia University Irving Medical Centre states in their report that most of the supplements for sale today have not been tested. Additionally, if you're not treating a deficiency, supplements are then just ultimately providing extra doses, and that's when people are at particular risk for harm.
