‘Estrogen kam hone se direct asar heart par padhta hai…': Bhagyashree shares golden advice for a healthy post-menopausal journey
Bhagyashree's health and wellness tips on social media have garnered a significant following, thanks to their simplicity and effectiveness. The Bollywood actor has used her Instagram profile to share healthy recipe videos, spread awareness about sustainability, and promote exercises for spinal and foot health. Her recent upload focuses on women's health. 'Life post menopause is not the end, but should be a start to looking after yourself more. Take care of the nutrients your body needs and keep active. Slower the metabolism, bigger the problem. Consult your doctor to help you combat menopause effectively,' she captioned her post. Bhagyashree talked about mood swings, hot flashes and exhaustion as common symptoms during this phase of life. 'Menopause mein estrogen kam hone se direct asar heart par padhta hai, ye mujhe abhi pata chala. Isliye menopause ke baad cholestrol aur BP dono check karein,' she said, adding that including magnesium in the diet is crucial along with regular exercise and movement. We reached out to a health expert to determine how Bhagyashree's tips fare in terms of efficacy and sustainability over the long term. Dr Jagriti Varshney, an obstetrician and gynaecologist, told that one of the most common menopausal symptoms is hot flashes. For this, Dr Varshney suggested doing yoga and meditation to stay calm and composed. Wearing loose and breathable clothing and avoiding heavy blankets, especially during nighttime, can also help. 'Maintaining the temperature of your home is equally important,' she added. Exercise is a meaningful way to reduce the symptoms related to menopause. 'Exercising also helps in weight management, promotes better sleep, and releases stress,' the expert said, suggesting at least 30 minutes of exercise a day to maintain overall health. Since menopause affects the bones, Dr Varshney recommended supplementing one's diet with calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and other multivitamins. 'Women should also include certain ingredients like lignans that mimic oestrogen to maintain the levels of the hormone in the body,' she said. Flaxseed, pumpkin seed, poppy, sesame and whole grains are naturally occurring foods that act like oestrogen. Also, she advised quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption to remain healthy during menopause. Drinking water regulates the body temperature, so staying hydrated is another key point to remember. Additionally, staying hydrated can help alleviate other symptoms, such as bloating and dryness. Dr Varshney mentioned that declining oestrogen levels in the body mean that less moisture is retained, so drinking at least 3 litres of water every day is crucial for health. 'Since night sweats can make it difficult to sleep, menopausal individuals need to take extra steps to control sleep disturbances. This includes putting electronic gadgets away, sleeping in light clothing and making sure your bedroom is comfortable,' she added.

Dehydration And Desk Jobs: Urologist Explains What's Causing Kidney Stones In The Young
Last Updated: Due to the demands of modern jobs and a change in lifestyle and dietary habits, Gen Z and millennials are reporting more cases of kidney stones. Kidney stones were once considered a middle-aged health concern. However, in recent times, an increasing number of young adults in their 20s and 30s are walking into clinics with symptoms of renal colic. Experts believe that the reason behind this is a concerning mix of dehydration, modern diets, poor gut health, and lifestyle stressors. 'Young people are now getting kidney stones much more commonly, and the most common reason is dehydration," says Dr. Anil Kumar Varshney, Senior Director of Urology, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, Delhi. 'They're consuming sodas, energy drinks, sugary beverages, tea and coffee – all of which lead to concentrated urine and increased risk of stone formation." A Sedentary Lifestyle And A Poor Diet Modern work culture, marked by long hours at desks and target-driven pressure, has created a perfect storm. A sedentary routine coupled with frequent consumption of processed foods, animal proteins and high-sodium meals increases calcium and uric acid in urine, a known contributor to stone formation. 'It's a lifestyle issue," notes Dr. Varshney. 'Obesity, which is rising among the youth, also results in higher excretion of calcium, uric acid and oxalates, fuelling stone formation." Healthy Foods, Hidden Risks 'Young people are eating more salads, but foods like spinach and beetroot are rich in oxalates," explains Dr. Varshney. 'If the diet is also low in calcium, the body absorbs even more oxalates, increasing the risk." Supplements And Global Warming: Unlikely Culprits The overuse of supplements, especially calcium, protein powders, and vitamin C, can contribute to stone formation as well. Meanwhile, rising temperatures due to climate change lead to insensible fluid loss, particularly in North and Northwest India. 'Whether working indoors or outdoors, young people are not drinking enough water. Concentrated urine leads to saturation, and that's where stones form," says Dr. Varshney.

Sebi wants to review and rename ‘penalties' to avoid stigmatising brokers
Kamlesh Varshney, whole-time member of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said on Monday that the regulator is looking to overhaul the penalties it imposes on market intermediaries. He suggested that many such actions are wrongly labelled as penalties unfairly stigmatising brokers, and that the regulator was close to completing the first phase of a penalty rationalisation framework. 'Some of the big initiatives that have been planned for future are, number one, rationalisation of penalties,' Varshney said. 'We had a meeting in February in Delhi with all the brokers, at which NSE was also present. There we outlined a few of our objectives. Number one was: how do we rationalise penalties, and can we have only one exchange designated for imposing them. [Another] important point was whether should we call it penalty.' He explained that in many cases, the sums were not actually penalties. "This creates unnecessary stigma on the broker,' he added. Varshney also said that the Brokers' Industrial Standard Forum had worked on this problem in the past five months and had found a solution, adding 'the first phase of this rationalisation should happen very soon'. Varshney said that apart from rationalising penalties, the regulator was also consulting market institutions on the possibility of having a common reporting portal. "Instead of brokers reporting their transactions at different exchanges, can we have a common portal? That work is also in progress,' he said. Varshney was addressing an audience at the launch of the proxy advisory recommendations feature on the e-voting system in the investor app, a move designed to strengthen investor participation in corporate governance. The feature integrates research-backed recommendations from proxy advisory firms directly into the e-voting platform used by retail investors. "By offering independent, research-based insights on shareholder resolutions, proxy advisory firms facilitate more informed decision-making—particularly for retail investors who may lack resources for in-depth analysis", Sebi chief Tuhin Kanta Pandey said while launching the feature. On the sidelines of the event, Pandey answered queries about Sebi's recent action against American trading firm Jane Street. Asked if more firms were under the regulator's lens, he said, 'It is basically a surveillance issue and surveillance at a high level. We will continue and upgrade those surveillance measures. I don't think there are many other risks.' On whether the case would prompt Sebi to review its optimisation of regulations, the Sebi chief reiterated that enforcement and surveillance, rather than more regulation, were the need of the hour. "Excess regulation does not mean excess surveillance. These are two different things,' he said.

Windows 11 is getting a macOS-like Handoff feature between phone and PC
Microsoft is working on a new 'Cross Device Resume' feature for Windows 11 that works similarly to Apple's Handoff feature in macOS. The feature was spotted in a Microsoft Build 2025 session, before Windows Central noticed Microsoft editing out the demo that showed a mobile Spotify session resuming on a PC. 'When you open the app on your mobile device or tablet, Windows can show a subtle badge right on your app's taskbar icon,' explains Aakash Varshney, a senior product manager for cross devices and experiences at Microsoft, in a 'Create Seamless Cross-Device Experiences with Windows for your app' Build session for developers. 'It's a visual nudge that when clicked launches your app directly into the task, delivering a smooth intuitive handoff from PC to phone.' Varshney's now-deleted demo shows a Spotify app icon with a badge on it in the taskbar, and a message when you hover over the badge that says 'resume, recently opened on your mobile device.' It's designed to let you resume the Spotify app on PC right from where you left off on mobile. 'Spotify launches and I'm instantly back in the same song, now playing on my PC,' says Varshney. 'No need to search or start over, it's a smooth one-click transition that keeps the music and user experience uninterrupted.' Microsoft first started testing an app handoff feature in Windows 10, back in 2016. Codenamed Project Rome, the cross-device experience for apps was designed for developers to write apps that can 'run on multiple devices and travel with the user as they switch between devices.' We've not seen much adoption of Project Rome in reality though, so hopefully this new Cross Device Resume is more widely adopted.

Formation Metals Announces 20,000 Metre Multi-Phase Drill Program for the Advanced N2 Gold Project
VANCOUVER, BC / / May 20, 2025 / Formation Metals Inc. ("Formation" or the "Company") (CSE:FOMO)(FSE:VF1)(OTCPK:FOMTF), a North American mineral acquisition and exploration company, is pleased to announce plans for executing a 20,000 metre multi-phase drill program at its flagship N2 Gold Project ("N2") in Quebec, an advanced gold project with a global historic resource of ~870,000 ounces: 18 Mt grading 1.4 g/t Au (~809,000 oz Au) across four zones (A, East, RJ-East, and Central)2,3 and 243 Kt grading 7.82 g/t Au (~61,000 oz Au) across the RJ zone2,4. The first 5,000 metres of the drill program is fully funded and is intended to commence this summer. The drill program is designed to focus on discovery drilling at new high-potential targets along the mineralization strikes at the "A", "RJ" and "Central" zones in the northern part of the property in order to discover new auriferous trends and unlock new zones of gold mineralization. The program will also focus on high-priority infilling and expansion targets in these zones to significantly enhance the project resource base through the recent exploration permit (Figure 1). Historical highlights from the top two priority zones include: A Zone: With a historical resource of ~522,900 gold ounces (10.7 Mt @ 1.52 g/t Au), the "A" Zone is a shallow, highly continuous, low-variability historic gold deposit with ~15,000 metres of drilling across 55 drillholes, 84% of which intercepted gold mineralization. The best historical intercept includes up to 1.7 g/t over 35 metres with a metal factor of 93. ~1.65 km of strike has been drilled, with 3.1+ km of strike to be tested as part of the 20,000 metre program. RJ Zone: With a historical resource of ~61,100 gold ounces (243 Kt @ 7.82 g/t Au), the "RJ" Zone is a high-grade target that was expanded upon in the last drill program in 2008 by Agnico-Eagle when gold was approximately ~$800/oz. Historically, 20,875 metres has been drilled over 82 drillholes, with best intercepts of 48 g/t over 0.5 metres and 16.5 g/t over 3.6 metres. ~900 metres of strike has been drilled, with 4.75+ km of strike to be tested as part of the 20,000 metre program. The Company has formally submitted its Application for Autorisation de Travaux d'exploration à Impacts (ATI) to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des Forets (MERN) following discussions with all necessary parties and anticipates receiving its ATI permit within the next 30 to 40 days, after which it intends on commencing its maiden drill program at N2. Deepak Varshney, CEO of Formation Metals, commented: "We are thrilled to unveil our drill plans for the N2 Project. Given the scale of the property, the compelling geological data, and the Abitibi Greenstone Belt's established history as a hotbed for gold mining, we believe that a program of this scale will deliver our goal of growing N2's historical resource into a near-surface multi-million-ounce deposit." Mr. Varshney continued: "We see the potential for over three million ounces of gold at N2, and our fully funded maiden 5,000-metre drilling program will mark the beginning of Formation's pursuit of that goal. Our maiden program will focus on building on the successes of our predecessors. The drilling discoveries made by Agnico-Eagle and Cypress after the initial historic resource estimate show the expansion potential at N2. With gold at $3,200, over 4 times the price in 2008 when Agnico last drilled the project, we believe that the timing is perfect for N2 and look forward to a very busy upcoming quarter."

Notes and References: Readers are cautioned that the geology of nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of the geology of the Property. The above referenced resource estimates do not have a category, are considered historical in nature, and are based on prior data prepared by a previous property owner, and do not conform to current CIM categories. While the Company considers the estimates to be reliable, a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources in accordance with current CIM categories and the Company is not treating the historical estimates as a current resource. A 0.5 g/t Au cut-off was used in the preparation of the historical estimates with a minimum 2.5 metre mining width. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the historical estimates can be classified as current resources. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company is not aware of any more recent estimates prepared for the N2 Property.
