Apollo Hospitals, Isha Foundation launch initiative to combat tobacco addiction
On the eve of World No-Tobacco Day, Apollo Cancer Centres and the Isha Foundation have jointly announced a unique initiative that aims to help individuals quit tobacco addiction on Friday. The initiative includes the practice of 'Miracle of Mind' meditation by the Isha Foundation and a meticulously designed 6-week programme to help individuals naturally outgrow the need for tobacco. The 'Miracle of Mind' is a free meditation app offering a a powerful 7-minute guided meditation by Sadhguru, helping individuals take charge of their well-being. It also features streaks, reminders, rewards, and personalised wisdom from Sadhguru. Over 2 million people have downloaded the app to establish a daily meditation practice and transformed their lives. The collaboration represents a shared understanding that healthcare must be holistic, treating not just disease but the human experience of illness, including mental strain, isolation, and loss of control. Addressing the media on behalf of the Isha Foundation, Dr. Rajesh Babu Devabhakthuni, Consultant Neurosurgeon, said that Isha Yoga offers several practices aimed at improving well-being by helping with emotional regulation and increasing self-awareness, some of the key factors in breaking habits like tobacco addiction. Among these, the 'Miracle of Mind' meditation was chosen as it was a short, effective practice of just seven minutes and fits easily into today's busy lifestyles. It could be done anytime and anywhere. One of the key factors of addiction is emotional dysregulation, due to which people often develop habits as a way to cope with stress and emotional imbalance. Backed by substantial research, Isha Yoga practices address these underlying issues by promoting emotional regulation and stress reduction, making them effective components in addiction programs. These practices provide both psychological and physiological support to individuals, helping them manage stress better and improve their overall health, he explained. Screening initiative launched Apollo Cancer Centres (ACC) has launched #OraLife, a proactive screening initiative focused on the early detection of oral cancer. The program emphasises public awareness, routine screening, and targeted intervention, particularly for high-risk individuals, including tobacco users, alcohol consumers, those with HPV-16 infection, and people with prior oral lesions. Tobacco users are six to seven times more likely to develop oral cancer than non-users. Oral cancer is one of the few cancers that can be detected early through a simple oral examination, said Dr. Pradeep Ventrapati, Consultant, Medical Oncologist. Dr. Dheeraj Kondamudi, Consultant – Head & Neck, Surgical Oncology at ACC, Visakhapatnam, was also present.

Delhi HC directs websites to pull down content misusing Sadhguru's identity
NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Friday directed websites to pull down content misusing Isha Foundation chief Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev's name, image, or personality to sell products. Counsel representing Sadhguru told a bench of Justice Shubhash Benarjee that Sadhguru's identity was being exploited to promote products fraudulently, prompting requests for takedown orders. "My name is being exploited to sell products — one such example is the book 'Garbh Yatra' (on pregnancy), which features my image on its cover. People are blindly trusting these offerings because of my reputation, making this a clear case of fraud. These entities are leveraging AI to deceive the public," he argued. The counsel representing Google submitted that affected parties must report specific URLs to intermediaries before any action can be taken. After a brief hearing, the bench stated that it would issue an interim order on the matter soon. Welcoming the court order, Isha Foundation posted on X, 'These scams include fake AI-generated videos, morphed images depicting false events, such as Sadhguru's arrest, and misleading advertisements promoting financial investments. Isha Foundation has been proactively working to remove such fake content and prevent individuals from falling prey to these scams.' In March this year, the Delhi high court directed the removal of videos and content published by a YouTuber against spiritual leader Sadhguru's Isha Foundation from online platforms. While issuing the order, the court emphasised that reputation is an essential aspect of an individual's dignity. It also underscored the need to balance freedom of speech and expression with the right to reputation.

Sadhguru shares 5 foods to enhance brain power naturally
Sadhguru emphasizes the profound impact of diet on cognitive function, advocating for specific foods to enhance brainpower. He highlights fruits for energy and mental clarity, honey for its blood-like composition and brain-boosting properties, and sugar-free cocoa as a unique stimulant. From strengthening immunity to enhancing brainpower, every aspect of our health is influenced by what we eat. That's why adopting healthy eating habits is essential—especially when it comes to supporting cognitive function. According to Sadhguru, including certain foods in your daily diet can significantly boost brain health. In his YouTube video titled 5 Foods to Enhance Brain Power , he shares how these specific foods can sharpen the mind and help pave the way for a brighter, more focused future. Fruits According to Sadhguru, fruits can do miraculous things to the body. Sufficient fruits can do great things to the system. And if you go on a total fruit diet, the stomach will feel empty within two hours of time, so you might get addicted to honing on high energy and an empty stomach; this is the time your brain works best. "So, if you want to use your brainpower or even physically, this is the time," he adds. Honey As per Sadhguru, it is the only substance found on the planet whose chemical composition is very similar to that of human blood. Daily consumption of honey can do a lot for your health, especially for people with excess mucus problems. It is good for the heart and brain, keeps the mind alert, and is highly energetic. As per Sadhguru, it is good for growing kids, and when consumed with ash gourd juice, it makes for a brilliant diet for kids. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your IQ Is 140 If You Can Answer 10 Of These Questions Correctly IQ International Undo The combination helps develop intellectual capabilities of growing kids as well.

Ash gourd juice He says, "If you consume a glass of ash gourd juice every day, you will see a sharp increase in your intellectual levels." He suggests that serving a glass of this juice to kids will help them with a sharper and clearer mind. For asthmatic people, he suggests adding a pinch of black pepper or honey to reduce the cooling effects of ash gourd juice. Sprouted fenugreek According to Sadhguru, sprouted fenugreek seeds act as excellent blood purifiers and are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. They offer numerous health benefits, including supporting lactating mothers, promoting hair and nail growth, reducing blood pressure, lowering blood sugar levels, and fighting inflammation. When paired with sprouted green gram, they become especially beneficial for cognitive health. Sadhguru recommends that individuals over the age of 50 should make this a part of their daily diet.
