Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson, Jessica Simpson – all these stunning women sported chunky highlights when they were big in the ‘90s. They are making a comeback now, thanks to zebra highlights that have been taking Instagram by storm. Chunky highlights are two-toned highlights that can help in framing your face and adding dimension to your hair.

If you are wondering what exactly chunky highlights are, stick around!

What Are Chunky Highlights?

Chunky highlights are exactly that – chunky! They are normally styled to create a stark contrast with your natural hair color and are done on large sections of hair. They are done using many highlighting or lowlighting techniques to give you that chunky look.

Chunky highlights are better suited for women with big facial features over women with delicate features. If you have delicate features, these highlights will look too harsh for you. On the other hands, these highlights accentuate big facial features and complement them beautifully.

Chunky highlights can simply be used as a style statement or as a face-framing technique. The colors you choose for the highlights depend on your preference. Here’s how you can do them yourself at home.

How To Do Chunky Highlights

YouTube

What You Need

• Hair coloring kit
• Aluminum foil roll
• Rat-tailed comb
• Old towel
• T-shirt
• Petroleum jelly
• Hair coloring brush
• A bowl to mix the developer and activator

How To Do

1. Start off by deciding which shade of highlights will suit your skin’s surface and undertone. Pick a cool shade if you have a cool undertone and a warm shade for a warm undertone.

2. Put on an old T-shirt and drape the old towel around your shoulders to prevent any dye stains. Also, apply petroleum jelly to the skin around your hairline to avoid staining your skin.

3. Mix the dye in a bowl as per the instructions given on the box.

4. You are only going to be highlighting the top of your head. Part your hair to the side and pick up a thin horizontal section of hair.

5. Place a foil paper underneath the section and apply dye to that section of hair.

6. Fold the foil over the hair to prevent the dye from getting on other sections of hair.

7. Keep highlighting chunky sections of your hair in the same manner.

8. Once you are done, leave the dye on for the recommended time listed on the box. Use a timer to help you while you read or finish your chores.

9. Keep checking your hair every 5-10 minutes.

10. Wash off the dye after the recommended time. Use a toner shampoo as it will remove the brassy tones from your hair.

Now that you know how to do chunky highlights at home, here are 15 incredible styles that you can try out!

Lili Reinhart looks phenomenal in this hairstyle. The lovely delicate side bangs add a romantic feel to the hairstyle. A middle parting is a great way to make your face look longer. This hairstyle accentuates all the features of her face while not focusing on the shape of her face.

The middle parting works wonders for people with round faces. It looks especially brilliant with long, flowy hair. Take a cue from Khloe Kardashian and try it with slightly wavy hair. It slims down your face, while the layers add focus to your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Millie Bobby Brown looks stunning in this hairdo. The sleek hair, space buns, and middle parting draw attention to her eyes and eyebrows. Enhance your eyes even further by using eyeliner.

This stunning hairstyle is perfect for round faces. So often we see curls being used to make a hairstyle look more soft and romantic. It’s great to see a straight-haired updo that would be perfect for prom or a wedding. This hairstyle brings a more angular look to your face rather than softening your features.

10. Straight Down The Middle

If you have a round face, the key is to make your face appear longer, add height to your crown, or cover up wide cheeks. The middle parting is the big winner here. Salma Hayek paired it with a stylish lob. If you have an oval, square, or diamond face, a simple tuck behind the ears can add some oomph to the look.

11. Slight Wavy

Shutterstock

Cameron Diaz stuns in this wavy long lob hairdo. Her roots are visibly darker than the bottom half of her hair. This helps in framing her face and adding depth to her tresses. The middle parting allows her side layers to act as side bangs.

12. Small Parting

Shutterstock

If you want to accentuate an updo, add a slight middle parting to the front. Sometimes, this happens naturally if your hair naturally parts at the center. It is a small touch, but it adds symmetry to your face and draws attention to your facial features.

13. ‘20s Middle Parting

Shutterstock

Styling a parting with full frontal bangs is an art that needs to be learned. If not done right, it will mess up your hairstyle. Take a cue from Zendaya! Comb your bangs down and then part your hair down the middle. This show off your bangs and your cool new haircut!

A slightly messy updo with a mild middle parting accentuates facial features like your eyes, nose, and jawline. Notice the ever so slight puff at the crown of Jlaw’s hair, which adds height to her face. The stray hair falling on her face adds to the romantic appeal of this hairstyle.

16. Long And Wavy

Shutterstock

Layers always look great on round faces. They make your face look thinner and longer. The soft waves add volume at the end of the hair, making the top look thinner, which makes your face look leaner. I love how this shade of blonde brings out Miley’s eyes. The middle parting is the glue holding this entire look together.

17. Loose Ponytail

Shutterstock

A middle parting with a messy ponytail is perfect for a round face. The best thing about messy wavy hair is that it adds volume to your hair. If you have a round face, you need to use it to your advantage like Chloe Moretz. Leaving your hair loose can get in the way of your everyday activities. So, simply tie it up in a side ponytail paired with a middle parting. This hairstyle is also perfect if you are a bridesmaid or need a quick hairstyle for a formal event.

18. Double-Layered Bob

Shutterstock

Millie Bobby Brown’s straight lob is perfect. The dark shade of brown makes her eyes pop. The double-layered hair along with the center parting makes her face appear more symmetrical. If you have wide cheeks, get longer layers that end below your cheeks.

19. Minimalist

Shutterstock

If you have a heart, diamond, or oval face shape, this is the perfect hairstyle for you. A long middle parting with loosely flowing hair and some color can create a stunning hairstyle. Finish it off with a tuck behind the ears, and you are ready to slay! This hairstyle accentuates your jawline and cheekbones. Choose a hair color that makes your eyes pop.

If you’re a victim of acne, you’d hate looking at the mirror, especially in the morning. The puss filled yellowish zits are cringe worthy and the red ones are big and painful to touch. No matter how great your dress is or how good your makeup looks, zits can spoil your entire look. Also, when you have acne, you not only have to worry about getting rid of them but also about removing the scars that they leave behind.

It’s literally a painful situation and you may feel that there’s nothing good about acne. But what if we told you that acne is not all bad? Obviously, you might think we’re crazy. However, it’s not us who are saying this, but a study that suggests that people who suffer from acne age slower (1). Don’t believe us? Read on to know more.

The Findings Of The Study

Shutterstock

The study that was published in 2017 by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology focused on 1,205 female twins. These women were asked if they ever had acne issues and how they managed to escape from them. The length of the telomeres of these women was measured for the study since researchers believed that the whole connection between acne and slow aging can be explained with their help.

Telomeres are a part of our chromosomes and they are located at the tips of the chromosomal structure (2). They are like the small metal or plastic caps that are there on either end of our shoelaces. Just the way these plastic caps prevent the shoelaces from wearing out, telomeres protect our chromosomes from getting damaged. Every time our cell divides, the length of the telomeres get reduced which results in aging due to cell damage.

It was found that about a quarter of the women whose telomeres were studied, had acne and these women had longer telomeres when compared to the rest. This means that their telomeres could withstand more cell division during the course of time and protect their chromosomes for more years. This is all we know as of now and researchers suggest that more research has to be done in the area to get a better idea.

Those who get acne stay young for a longer period — this doesn’t mean that you have to keep the acne. You don’t have to suffer in pain because there are many methods to get rid of acne. Here are a few methods to help you solve your acne issues.

Natural Remedies To Get Rid Of Acne

Acne can occur due to many reasons. If it’s hormonal acne, you need to seek the help of a dermatologist and get treated internally. Your doctor might give you creams and gels to heal the acne as well. But not all types of acne are hormonal and some these can be treated at home without the use of any chemicals. Read on to know more about these natural remedies.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

Shutterstock

Mix one part of apple cider vinegar in three parts of clean water. You may have to dilute it further if you have sensitive skin. Now dip a cotton ball in the solution and apply the vinegar on your face. Remember to be gentle and not rub the cotton balls over your acne. Do this every day after you get back home from college or work because it also helps in clearing the pores.

2. Tea Tree Oil

Shutterstock

Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with some witch hazel and apply the mixture on your skin with a clean cotton ball. You can do this twice every day and see the results for yourself. The anti-inflammatory and ant-bacterial properties of tea tree oil help in healing the pimples and preventing them from spreading (3). However, do not over apply tea tree oil because it can make your skin dry and aggravate the acne.

3. Green Tea

Shutterstock

Green tea is a magical elixir and it’s beneficial to our body in many ways including protection against acne. Brew some green tea, cool it down, and use it as a face wash whenever needed. Also, use a cool green tea bag on the acne area to get rid of them.

4. Honey

Shutterstock

Apply some raw honey in the acne area and wash it off after ten minutes. The antibiotic properties of honey help in dealing with acne effectively. You can also make a face pack by mixing honey with a tablespoon of plain oatmeal. Leave this face mask on for thirty minutes and then wash it off for clear and moisturized skin.

5. Mint

Mint helps in relieving the pain and itchiness caused by acne. It soothes your skin and cleans the pores. Mix a tablespoon of finely chopped mint leaves with some oatmeal and yogurt. Apply this mixture on your skin and wash it after twenty minutes. Repeat this every day and say goodbye to acne problems.

Although acne is not a desirable experience, you can look at the bright side and expect to stay young for a longer period. Now that you know this fact, you can laugh back at those who make fun of your acne because when they’re going to have wrinkles, you won’t be having them! How do you deal with acne?

India is a country where marriage is considered a sacred bond. And the mere thought of a divorce or a second marriage falls into the taboo category. The animosity that exists between step-parents and stepchildren is inevitable. The denial of welcoming the new parent or the stepchildren are vehement. But, there is one place where this looks otherwise — the kingdom of stardom, Bollywood!

Time and again, it’s Bollywood’s celeb moms who have displayed the amazing camaraderie that they share with their stepchildren irrespective of all the dirty speculations that the media puts forth. Let’s have a look at some of these celeb moms who’ve chosen to set an example to the rest of the country by bonding with their stepchildren in a way that it looks like blood relations.

1. Helen

beingsalmankhan / Instagram

India knows, and well, even the world knows how Salman Khan’s residence, Galaxy Apartment is an abode of pure love. This residence of bhai has witnessed many inter-religion and interfaith marriages as well as relationships. Where did this all start with? It goes back to the yesteryears when Salman’s father, Salim Khan (a Muslim) married Bollywood’s dancing diva Helen Ann Richardson (a Christian). This wasn’t all; Salim married Helen without divorcing his first wife Salma Khan.

Since then there has never been any spark of discomfort or hatred between any members of this family. They say that this is the case because all the four stepchildren have happily accepted Helen as their stepmom. At many award shows, Salman is seen walking hand in hand with his stepmom Helen. And the entire Bollywood has witnessed the sisterly bond that Helen shares with Salma.

2. Shabana Azmi

faroutakhtar / Instagram

In 1984, the veteran actress Shabana married an eminent poet and scriptwriter, Javed Akhtar. At that time she had to also win the hearts of two children, Farhan, and Zoya who were 10 and 12 years old respectively.

While Farhan was seen confessing in a chat show that he always wanted to fight with his dad for leaving his mom, Honey Irani, he also confessed that slowly time played its part in healing his heart. And he’s forever grateful to his stepmom Shabana for showering unconditional love to his sister and him. Their admiration and mutual respect are very evidently seen among the stepchildren and Shabana.

3. Kareena Kapoor Khan

therealkareenakapoor / Instagram

We all know the hardships Saif and Kareena faced as a couple to become one. What we haven’t really thrown much light upon is the effort both Kareena and her teenage stepchildren Sara and Ibrahim have put for the one person that matters the most to them — Saif Ali Khan! In plenty of interviews, Kareena has been constantly asked about the bond she shares with her stepchildren. And her honest answer has always remained the same that she wanted to be more like a friend than a mother to them. She has also always glorified how well brought up Sara and Ibrahim are and she wishes that even she could raise her son, Taimur the same way.

4. Soni Razdan

maheshfilm / Instagram

Soni Razdan has left no stone unturned in bonding with her stepchildren, Pooja Bhatt, and Rahul Bhatt. Her equation with them has always been applauded by the Bollywood community. Perhaps, the feeble age gap of just 16 years between Pooja and her made it a teeny-weeny bit easier for the bond to head on a positive route (we’re guessing). The genuine love between Pooja and Soni highlights almost instantly whenever they have attended events together.

5. Supriya Pathak

Supriya Pathak is a very well-known stage actor and a TV actor. There’s one more thing that she’s known to be brilliant at, being a stepmom to the heartthrob of Bollywood, Shahid Kapoor. Shahid is Pankaj Kapur’s son with Neelima Azeem. Shahid has always accepted the love that his stepmom Supriya showered on him very amicably. In many interviews, Shahid has spoken about how Supriya has been his guidance in terms of his acting career. Their mutual respect, love, and admiration are visible in all their pictures which the paparazzi have managed to capture.

6. Manyata Dutt

maanayata / Instagram

Sanjay Dutt’s wife Manyata has not just been a good stepmom to Dutt’s eldest daughter Trishula, but she has also served as a very dear friend. This duo serves as the perfect example to learn about the amicable bond that a stepmom shares with her stepchildren.

Trishala and Manyata’s bond is that of a cool one, and both their Instagram accounts are proof of that. Often this mother-daughter duo is seen posting selfies and pictures with each other on their Insta feeds.

We’ve always looked at the tinsel town as a land that’s filled with rumors, failed relationships, and marriages. We all know how relationships between real children and their real parents haven’t been a cakewalk. And these stepmoms, on the other hand, have been proving otherwise and shunning all those people who think stepmoms are wicked. Love truly breaks all barriers, right? Let us know what you think about stepmoms in the comments below.

India is a land of misogyny and no woman can deny it. If you’re born a girl, you would have experienced it at least once in your life either because of your parents or the society that you are a part of. There have been cases where the girl child has been killed even before her birth and the mother being a woman, hardly ever gets a say in this — she doesn’t even have the right to protect her own baby! When it comes to education, we’ve often seen many families denying their girl child formal education because they either don’t want to invest in her or they just want her to stay illiterate enough to never have a mind of her own. And when it comes to marriage, girls are sold like broodmares which is ironic because there are as many goddesses in temples as the gods and nobody ever cares about the gender then.

Even if you’re an educated and hardworking woman with a mind of your own, you’ve always been told or made to feel that you are not good enough to stand where the men in the society stand. However, there are some women who have fought through all the odds and became a true inspiration for those who feel like they don’t have a voice. These are the women who are the torchbearers for the upliftment of women in the coming years.

Let’s take a look at a few among the many amazing women out there who have proved that women can not just be equal but sometimes can be even better than men.

1. Hima Das

hima_mon_jai / Instagram

Hima Das is India’s only track medallist at the global level. She won a gold medal at the IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) World20 Championship, also known as the World Junior Championship. Currently, she holds the national record in 400 meters with a lightning time of 50.70 seconds, which she set during the 2018 Asian Games that was held in Jakarta, Indonesia.

2. Mary Kom

mcmary.kom / Instagram

The 35-year old woman boxer became the World Champion in boxing for the sixth time after she defeated her opponent with the greatest of ease in 2018. Coming from a small village in Manipur, Mary literally shed her blood and sweat to reach where she is today. There’s no doubt that her success is an eye-opener for those who believe that women aren’t as good as men.

3. Neena Gupta

neena_gupta / Instagram

The National Award-winning actress made us all proud with her stellar performance in movies like Badhai Ho and Mulk. In Badhai Ho, she plays the role of a mother to a 25-year-old songets pregnant. As portrayed in the movie, something like i.e. a woman who getting pregnant at an age when her son is ready to be married isn’t easily accepted in our society and it takes a lot of boldness to give life to such characters the way Neena did it. We’re so proud of her!

4. Mithali Raj

mithaliraj / Instagram

Popularly known as Lady Tendulkar, Mithali Raj is one of the finest women cricket players the world has ever seen. She is the captain of the Indian Women’s Cricket team and had recently recorded 2000 T20 runs becoming the first woman player to do so. Also, she is the only woman cricketer to play 200 ODI matches! Her career has lasted for 19 years and is still counting. We hope we can see her own a bunch of more records before she bids farewell to the ground.

5. Menaka Guruswamy

indiaculturelab / Instagram

Menaka is one of those lawyers who fought for the takedown of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. Section 377 says that any man or woman who commits a sexual act that is against the “order of nature” with another man, woman, or animal, will be punished. The punishment included imprisonment for life or imprisonment at least for 10 years with a fine. This is the law that made homosexual relationships illegal. We’re glad that it’s just a painful memory now.

6. The All-Women Navy Crew Of INSV Tarini

insvtarini / Instagram

This Indian Navy crew circumnavigated the earth in just nine months! The group of six women officers sailed in a vessel called INSV (Indian Naval Sailing Vesse) Tarini. The expedition which was called Navika Sagar Parikrama is an expedition which is the first of its kind carried out by Indians with an all-woman crew. Now, who said that women can’t travel alone?

7. Rima Das

rimadas13 / Instagram

Rima is the director of the movie Village Rockers which was India’s official entry to the 2019 Oscars. The movie won the National Award for the Best Film even though it couldn’t get through the Oscar crowd. Rima also won the Best Editor Award for the film at the national level. The 37-year-old filmmaker is among the many talented women directors who prove that women can do a lot more than just dancing to the tunes of item songs and playing the weak secondary roles in the film industry.

These are just a few among the many women who make us proud. Also, there are many women superheroes about whom we don’t know yet. All of them prove that strong determination and hard work can never go wrong. Who is your woman role model? Let us know in the comments below.

कई लोगों का मानना है कि मकई या भुट्टा डायबटीज को नियंत्रित करने में कारगर साबित होता है। साल 2015 में हुए एक शोष के दौरान शोधकर्ताओं ने पाया कि पर्पल कॉर्न (जिसे ब्लू कॉर्न के नाम से भी जाना जाता है) में कुछ ऐसे तत्व पाए जाते हैं, जो शरीर में इंसुलिन की मात्रा को बढ़ा देते हैं। इस तरह यह ब्लड शुगर को कंट्रोल करने में मददगार साबित हो सकता है। वहीं, अन्य प्रकार के कॉर्न को लेकर कोई वैज्ञानिक प्रमाण नहीं है कि वो डायबटीज को कंट्रोल कर सकते हैं या नहीं (4)।

2. कैंसर में मकई के फायदे

मकई का एक प्रकार जिसे स्वीट कॉर्न कहते हैं, रोगी में कैंसर से लड़ने की क्षमता पैदा करता है। एक शोध में इस बात का जिक्र किया गया है कि पके हुए स्वीट कॉर्न में फेरुलिक एसिड प्रचुर मात्रा में पाया जाता है। यह एसिड कैंसर से लड़ने में मददगार साबित होता है। इसके अलावा, कॉर्न में एंटीऑक्सीडेंट गुण भी पाए जाते हैं, जो शरीर में मौजूद मुक्त कणों को न्यूट्रीलाइज कर ऑक्सिकरण की प्रक्रिया को कम करने का काम करते हैं। ध्यान रहे कि ऑक्सिकरण प्रक्रिया शरीर को नुकसान पहुंचाती है (5)।

3. आंखों के लिए मकई के गुण

मकई में पाए जाने वाले एंटीऑक्सीडेंट, ल्यूटिन और जैक्सैन्थिन आंखों की रोशनी को बचाए रखने में लाभकारी साबित होते हैं। इस मामले में किए गए एक शोध में इस बात की पुष्टि की गई है कि उम्रदराज लोगों में इन यौगिकों की कमी की वजह से आंखों की नसों में शिथिलता आती है। इससे कम दिखाई देने या अंधेपन जैसी समस्या का सामना करना पड़ सकता है (6)।

4. गर्भवती के लिए भुट्टा उपयोगी

मकई गर्भवती महिलाओं के लिए लाभकारी साबित हो सकता है। कारण यह है कि इसमें फोलिक एसिड, फाइबर, विटामिन-बी1, बी5 और सी पाया जाता है। ये सभी पोषक तत्व पाचन प्रक्रिया को बेहतर करने में मदद करते हैं। वहीं, इसमें मौजूद फोलिक एसिड और विटामिन-बी होने वाले शिशु को न्यूरल ट्यूब दोष (शिशु के मस्तिष्क व रीढ़ में विकार उत्पन्न होना) से बचाने में मदद करते हैं (1) (6) (7)।

5. वजन कम करने में सहायक है भुट्टा

वजन कम करने की बात करें, तो मकई या भुट्टा में वसा की मात्रा कम होती है। इसमें अघुलनशील फाइबर की प्रचुर मात्रा पाई जाती है (1) (8)। इसका सेवन करने से आपका पेट भरा हुआ महसूस होता है और यह वसा को शरीर पर चढ़ने नहीं देता। इस तरह यह उन लोगों के लिए मददगार साबित हो सकता है, जो मोटापे की समस्या से जूझ रहे हैं (9)।

6. आयरन की कमी को दूर करता है भुट्टा

कई बीमारियों के निदान में सहायक भुट्टा शरीर में आयरन की कमी को भी पूरा करने का काम करता है। इसका नियमित सेवन करने वाले लोगों को आयरन की कमी से होने वाली गंभीर समस्याओं का सामना नहीं करना पड़ता। एक शोध के मुताबिक इस बात की पुष्टि की गई है कि मकई के कुछ विशेष प्रकार है, जिनमें आयरन प्रचुर मात्रा में पाया जाता है। बता दें कि आयरन की कमी के कारण एनीमिया होने का खतरा बना रहता है (10)।

7. एनीमिया से छुटकारा दिलाता है भुट्टा

आप जान ही चुके हैं कि आयरन की कमी के कारण एनीमिया होने की आशंका रहती है (10)। वहीं, भुट्टा के सेवन से शरीर में आयरन की कमी को पूरा किया जा सकता है। बता दें कि आयरन की कमी के अलावा विटामिन बी-12, फोलिक एसिड या कोई गंभीर बीमारी भी एनीमिया का कारण हो सकती है (11)। वहीं, भुट्टे में आयरन के साथ-साथ फोलिक एसिड/फोलेट भी प्रचुर मात्रा में पाया जाता है, जो एनीमिया से निजात दिलाने में सहायक साबित हो सकता है (1)।

8. भुट्टे की मदद से दिल को रखें फिट

स्वीट कॉर्न को पकाने से उसमें एंटीऑक्सीडेंट की मात्रा काफी बढ़ जाती है, जो हृदय रोग के खतरे को काफी हद तक कम करने का काम करते हैं (5)। वहीं, इसमें मौजूद अघुलनशील फाइबर शरीर में मौजूद अतिरिक्त कोलेस्ट्रॉल की मात्रा को नियंत्रित करने का काम करता है (8)। इस कारण भी हृदय रोग का जोखिम काफी हद तक कम हो जाता है (9)।

9. मकई के उपयोग से दुरुस्त करें पाचन प्रक्रिया

मकई या भुट्टा में प्रचुर मात्रा में अघुलनशील फाइबर पाया जाता है, जो वजन घटाने में सहायता करने के साथ-साथ पाचन प्रक्रिया को भी सुचारू रूप से चलाने का काम करता है (9) (12)।

10. मकई से कोलेस्ट्रॉल का नियंत्रण

मकई में कोलेस्ट्रॉल नहीं पाया जाता है (1)। वहीं, खास बात यह है कि इसमें मौजूद फेरुलिक एसिड एंटीऑक्सीडेंट की तरह काम करता है, जो शरीर में मौजूद कोलेस्ट्रॉल की मात्रा को नियंत्रित करने के साथ-साथ उसे कम करने में भी कारगर साबित हो सकता है (5) (13)। इसके अलावा, कॉर्न सिल्क (भुट्टे के ऊपर मौजूद बाल) भी कोलेस्ट्रॉल के स्तर को कम करने में सहायक साबित होते हैं (14)।

11. मकई ऊर्जा का अच्छा स्रोत

मकई में एंटीऑक्सीडेंट और पोषक तत्वों के अलावा भारी मात्रा में कैलोरी भी पाई जाती है (1)। इसलिए, इसे ऊर्जा का अच्छा स्रोत माना जाता है। इसका सेवन व्यक्ति को सक्रीय और फुर्तीला रहने में मदद करता है। वहीं, ऊर्जा की मात्रा अधिक होने के कारण इसे खाने के बाद लोगों को लंबे समय तक भूख का अहसास नहीं होता (15)।

12. अल्जाइमर में फायदेमंद है भुट्टा

मकई खाने के फायदे के बारे में बात करें, तो मकई या भुट्टा अल्जाइमर (भूलने की बीमारी) में भी काफी सहायक साबित होता है। कारण है इसमें पाया जाने वाला विटामिन-ई। बता दें कि अल्जाइमर की बीमारी में विटामिन-ई महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है (16)।

13. बोन हेल्थ

मकई खाने के फायदे में बोन हेल्थ भी शामिल है। मकई में मौजूद घुलनशील फाइबर हड्डियों के स्वास्थ्य के लिए अधिक फायदेमंद साबित होता है (17)। वहीं, मकई में सीधे तौर पर कैल्शियम भी पाया जाता है, जो हड्डियों को मजबूती प्रदान करने का काम करता है (1)।

14. शारीरिक क्षमता

मकई के फायदे पर किए गए शोध में शोधकर्ताओं ने पाया कि मकई या भुट्टा शारीरिक क्षमता को बढ़ाने में कारगर साबित हो सकता है। कारण यह है कि किसी भी शारीरिक गतिविधी को करने के लिए ऊर्जा की जरूरत होती, जिसका मुख्य स्रोत कार्बोहाइड्रेट है। चूंकि, लेख के शुरुआत में बताया गया है कि मकई कार्बोहाइड्रेट का अच्छा स्रोत है, तो इसके सेवन से मसल्स ग्लाइकोजन की मात्रा बढ़ती है। इस तरह यह शारीरिक क्षमता को बढ़ाने में भुट्टा मददगार साबित हो सकता है (1) (18)।

15. त्वचा व बालों के लिए भुट्टा उपयोगी

विटामिन-ए, बी, डी, ई, जिंक व आयरन जैसे पोषक तत्व त्वचा और बालों के बेहतर स्वास्थ्य के लिए अधिक महत्वपूर्ण माने जाते हैं। ये सभी पोषक तत्व मकई में मौजूद होते हैं। इसलिए, यह कहा जा सकता है कि त्वचा और बाल के बेहतर स्वास्थ्य के लिए मकई उपयोगी साबित हो सकता है (1) (19) (20)।

अब बात करते हैं मकई में पाए जाने वाले पौष्टिक तत्वों की।

जहां मकई खाने के फायदे ढेरों हैं, वहीं इसके कुछ नुकसान भी हैं। इस पर भी जरूर ध्यान देना चाहिए।

• जैसा कि लेख में पहले भी बताया गया है कि मकई उच्च फाइबर का एक अच्छा स्रोत है। इसलिए, आपको यह भी जान लेना चाहिए कि फाइबर की अधिक मात्रा पेट में दर्द, पेट का फूलना और कब्ज जैसी समस्या को न्योता दे सकती है। इसलिए, विशेषज्ञ वयस्कों को प्रतिदिन 25 से 30 ग्राम फाइबर लेने की सलाह देते हैं (12)।

• वहीं, कुछ मामलों में कॉर्न का अधिक उपयोग शरीर में पेलाग्रा (विटामिन बी-3 की कमी) पैदा करता है (20)।

• मकई में पाया जाने वाला ग्लूटेन कई लोगों में स्किन एलर्जी का कारण भी बन जाता है (21)।

For centuries people have been in search of finding just one secret — the secret to longevity! Although none have found the secret to it yet, it’s only in the movies that humans have been shown to have found the recipe to eternal life. If we were to ask a very simple question why do we eat every day? The answer would be “to survive”, “to live”, or anything on those lines, right? There, the answer lies right there! But with the ongoing trend of getting a suave body and losing all the fat, a majority of people among us have resorted to starving or eating very little. And one look at what their diet constitutes, and you’ll soon figure that they either are on a no-carb diet or a low carb diet. If you’re one among such, you need to stop right away! And if you happen to be a carb lover but are restricting yourself from eating some, then listen up, we have some good news for you!

Recent studies have actually proved that eating carbohydrates actually helps one live longer and healthier. We’re not kidding, read on to get more information about this.

Carbohydrates Are The Reason Behind The Expectancy Of High Life Among The Japanese

It might sound unbelievable to you, but Okinawa, a Japanese prefecture that comprises of nearly 150 islands is recorded to have a whopping 68 centenarians for every 100,000 inhabitants (1). This is almost three times more than what is recorded in the United States. In fact, Okinawa’s residents have a higher chance by 40 percent to live longer when compared to people residing in other parts of the country.

The scientists tried to find out the reason behind this by analyzing the genes, diet, and lifestyle of the people of Okinawa. The scientists discovered that due to the history of isolation of the Okinawans, the people there have developed a very different genetic profile which helps protect their cells from contracting diseases and aging.

Just to learn and understand more about this longevity among the Okinawans, the scientists have set up the Okinawa Centenarian Study (OCS) in 1975 and have been running it actively since then. By the year 2016, the OCS successfully had studied 1,000 centenarians and came to two conclusions:

• The Okinawans lived longer because they managed to delay all the age-related diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer, and diabetes (2).
• Another surprising fact they came face-to-face with is that all the Okinawans stick to a very rich carbohydrate diet.

The 10:1 Carb To Protein Ratio Of The Okinawans

If the thought of losing weight occurs to anybody out there these days, they know or believe in the fact that a low-carb diet would do the trick to shed the weight. However, the Okinawans, on the other hand, are doing quite the contrary — they consume carbs and protein in the ratio of 10:1. The studies conducted show that a high-carbohydrate and a low-protein diet is capable of causing physiological responses which end up protecting us from most of the age-related issues (3). But hey, we think that it’s not always about eating just carbs, it’s even about eating them in a wise way.

Being Particular About What We Eat Is The Crucial Part

Most of us think of only rice when we’re asked about foods that are rich in carbohydrates. Okinawans, on the other hand, think of sweet potato, fish, pork, different types of meat and soy products (4). Surely these foods are rich in carbohydrates, but a detailed understanding of these foods will get you thinking that these fall into the “good carbs” category. Their diet also constitutes of lots of green and yellow vegetables, out of which, the bitter melon seems to be their favorite. They are also very wary about their calorie intake. They make sure they don’t exceed the bracket of their calorie intake every day.

And it’s not just them, there are other long-living populations such as the Tsimane people of South America and the Kitavans from a small island in Papua New Guinea, these people also follow a diet which is rich in carbohydrates and low in proteins. Their diet is popularly known as the Mediterranean diet (5).

The whole point of telling you all of the above facts isn’t about asking you to go overboard with your carbs intake. Instead, what we’re trying to say here is that we should never go extreme with diets to an extent that we exclude carbs completely. Always listen to what your body is trying to tell you while making your diet plan. Follow a healthy lifestyle and get medically examined every now and then — these will help you live a happy and long life in the long run.

Many of us smoke and chew tobacco and yes, it’s indeed our personal choice. However, we hardly get to know the intensity of the consequences of this deadly habit, until we experience it ourselves. Which is why an oral cancer survivor is not likely to smoke again, and a liver cancer survivor would probably give up on the idea of drinking. While most of us take responsibility for what our actions might put us into, there are many people who smoke and drink without even knowing about their ill-effects. Sadly, this section of people includes children as well. This is why there are NGOs and doctors, who work day and night, to spread awareness and give counseling to help them out.

Dr. Sumedha Kushwaha, a dentist by profession, also took up the responsibility of spreading awareness about tobacco consumption. Her NGO, Aim To Terminate Tobacco and Cancer (ATTAC), has helped more than thirty thousand people with tobacco addiction. That’s a huge number, but we still need many more people like Dr. Sumedha in our country to make it a better place. Let’s get know more about Dr. Sumedha’s journey.

When It All Began

Source: Facebook

Dr. Sumedha holds an MDS in Public Health Dentistry. She completed her education in 2007, from ITS Dental College, Delhi. One of the things that struck her during her studies was the disturbing number of pre-cancerous patients, who she attended to in the Out Patient Department.

“The entire thrust of all we learned was about cancer. In a majority of cases, we found that the cause for it was the consumption of tobacco. While there are various awareness programs about the ill-effects of tobacco, a large section of people who are addicts, have no means of letting go of their addiction, and I wanted to do something about it,” she said in an interview with an online media website. This is probably why she had an urge to help people who were addicted to tobacco.

Everything changed for Dr. Sumedha when she met Raju (name changed), a 13-year-old child who was suffering from oral cancer. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t even open his mouth. Raju was only six when some older kids in the village introduced him to gutka. At first, he used it because he wanted to hang out with the older boys, but soon it became a habit. By the time Raju was thirteen, he was consuming gutka regularly. He realized that he had oral cancer when he attended the health camp in his village, where he met Dr. Sumedha.

She said that seeing the child suffer in pain broke something in her. According to her, the worst part of the whole story is that these children who get addicted to tobacco, know that their habit can lead them to a horrific disease and yet, they continue with it. Dr. Sumedha wanted to fight this ignorance because she couldn’t see the youth throwing away their beautiful lives, just like that. This is a major reason why she wanted to become a trained counselor.

The Journey Of Counselling

Source: Facebook

With the aim of getting training in counseling, Dr. Sumedha joined a reputed hospital. But soon she realized that the money they were charging the patients was too much. This was true, especially for the majority of such patients, who were from underprivileged backgrounds. So, she started working with different NGOs that served this purpose, and at the same time, got her training in counseling at the hospital.

During her college days, whenever she had to attend medical camps in rural areas, Dr. Sumedha and her friends made sure to provide assistance to those people who lived in areas outside of the camp’s purview. She and her friends, went from one village to another, organizing camps on their own, even when they didn’t have much medical equipment with them. Dr. Sumedha was always the person who spoke about the purpose of the camp to the villagers, and this is probably why she turned out to be very good at counseling, later on in her life.

Dr. Sumedha and her friends set up ATTAC in 2014, with the aim of helping people who were addicted to tobacco, and to spread awareness on the same. The five major goals of the foundation are creating awareness, empowerment, caution, providing strategy, and assistance, and follow up with a cure. Most of the organization’s funding came from the Yuvraj Singh Foundation (YouWeCan Foundation). ATTAC also conducts talks in corporate spaces and charges 5000 to 10,000 Rupees for each talk. This money is divided amongst the health workers, who participate in that particular event. ATTAC has covered Tier 1 cities so far, and they hope to expand their services to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as well.

With tobacco being one of the major killers in India, it’s imperative to educate people about the harmful effects of its consumption. Let’s pledge to help people who are addicted to tobacco, either by volunteering, donating money to organizations working with tobacco addicts, or simply by talking to someone who needs our help.

We all live under the notion that marriage gets predictable over time. But if you talk to most of the lovely couples out there, you’ll know that in reality, it seems to be otherwise. Marriage can always find copious ways to amaze you. When you selected your man for life, you must have thought that both of you together would travel the world. In fact, he being an avid traveler must’ve been one of the primary traits of his that attracted you. Now, although you still want to travel with him every time, you wouldn’t mind if you had to just spend a few weekends in between your trips lazing around with him.

After your first fight with your partner, you must’ve promised yourself that you wouldn’t budge and apologize no matter what. The funny part is, oftentimes, after the fight has ended you find yourself baking him brownies to lift his spirits on a happier note. Such is the power of love and marriage. Now that we live in a world where we understand and relate to things best when they are in the form of illustrations; here are a few illustrations by @lovehandlecomics that help depict the reality of marriage in the best way possible.

P.S. read it with your spouse!

1. Taking Pictures Of Your Partner While They Are Asleep

When do you find your partner to be the cutest angel ever? When they are sleeping of course! Most of the married couples out there will admit to doing this. Doing this has two advantages too. One, every time you have a fight and are forced to think that your spouse may be a demon. One look at your spouse’s sleeping picture and you’re convinced that your spouse is just 20 percent demonic and the remaining 80 percent, well, a lovable angel! Two, you can always blackmail them (in a fun way) whenever they get on your nerves.

2. When You Cannot Let Go Of Your Chips

There are certain habits like sipping your coffee or munching on chips with loud background noise. This habit of yours might irritate your partner. You want to stop it but at the same time, chips came into your life before your partner, right? And then you figure out a midway through this whole situation.

3. As A Couple, You Love Your Bad Eating Habits

Over time, your bad habit of munching on chips might have passed on to your partner. So, what’s the outcome of this? While at the grocery store, it’s 70 percent of chips and junk; and 30 percent of fruits and vegetables. Because a married couple that snacks together stays together. Period.

4. Taking Shelter From The Storm

Every thunder that nature strikes outside or in your very own personal life — it scares the hell out of you. What do you do at such times? You end up finding shelter in your partner. Just being with them makes you forget about the storm outside.

5. You Have A Folder On Your Phone That Reads “Silly Pics Of Love”

lovehandlecomics / Instagram

All those who are happily married will agree to this that being together in love isn’t always about being adorably cute towards each other. You need to have the fun and mischievous elements in it too. Annoying each other can be cute too, right? Raise your hands if you have a folder in your phones dedicated to funny pictures of your partner. Also, how many of you go the extra mile and dare to post those pictures on social media? (Chuckles)

6. You Don’t Hug Right If You Don’t Hug Tight

lovehandlecomics / Instagram

It could be your first year of marriage or it could be your tenth. If there is anything that both of you will never get bored of, it has to be the feeling of hugging each other. We’re sure we’ve seen our own family members fighting over not hugging enough. The warmth of tight hug symbolizes many things — the feeling of being there for each other no matter what, it shows how strong your bond is with each other, etc. Therefore, always remember to hug right by hugging tight.

7. You’ll Forever Find Reasons To Be With Each Other

lovehandlecomics / Instagram

How will you know if your partner and you are made for each other? You shouldn’t be asking others to validate you both as a couple because self-validation is the best way to do it. When in a happy marriage, you’re bound to fall in love with what both of you like and dislike. If he doesn’t like eating sweet potatoes from the plate, you might eat it for him. You might love learning about new facts from him while he loves to show off his geeky side. You find reasons to be with each other no matter what.

Don’t all of the above illustrations prove that marriage is nothing but a long adventure? The best part about it is that you get to even plan the adventure. Did you relate to the above illustrations? Let us know in the comments section below.

There are many stereotypes that have become intrinsically linked with women, haven’t they? Everywhere you see — in movies or television — these stereotypes are used as running gags. Hell, even women have bought into these stereotypes. Which stereotypes, you wonder?

Well, the ones which claim that women can’t drive, or that they take hours to get ready (blame societal expectations and conditioning, not us) or that they absolutely love to gossip.

Today, we have a surprise announcement for you. You see, dear readers, the time has come for you to retire from at least one of these stereotypes — women are not the only chatty Kathys! Yes, that’s right. Our so-called no-nonsense, not-engaging-in-anything-frivolous men do it too!

More often than not, when we see two women bursting into peals of laughter, we assume that it had to be over an exchange of salacious gossip. It’s a different matter altogether that they might have been sharing an innocent joke. However, when it comes to men, that’s not our line of reasoning. In our brains (and in the collective psyche of the society) men and gossip don’t go together. But science has proved this thinking wrong. How’s that? Read on to find out more.

The Science Behind Gossip

The general idea is that gossip is nothing but a malicious way of rumor mongering. But have you ever wondered just how much time we humans devote to this apparently redundant activity? Though it might’ve not occurred to you, it certainly did to the researchers at the University of Riverside, in California. These researchers conducted 5 observational studies to see the nature of gossip. They wanted to know who indulges in it and how.

They fitted people under their observation with recorders and heard them talk and converse with their friends and family for a period of 2-5 days (1). What they found at the end of this observation period was quite surprising. Some of their most shocking findings were (2):

• People (both men and women) in general, spent about 52 minutes gabbing about other people’s business. Yes, that’s a lot!
• Unlike the popular belief, people who have less education and are in the lower-income earning group don’t gossip more than their wealthier, well-educated counterparts.
• Younger people were more likely to indulge in negative gossip than older ones. Ah, truly, the youth is wasted on the young.
• Women indulged more in neutral or positive gossip — that is, their gossip often revolved around a casual exchange of information or admiring someone or something. So much for the belief that women are catty.
• Men spend as much time as indulging in idle chit-chat as women. Though women exceeded them in positive and neutral gossip (not surprising at all).
• And most surprising of all, much of the gossip that takes place is neutral. Just a harmless exchange of banal information that gives people a way to connect with each other.

Threw you off, didn’t it? We certainly were when we first came across these findings. But, these findings also highlighted the fact that gossip is not the negative social tool we thought it to be. So, what exactly is the function of this infamous social activity?

Gossip As A Bonding Tool

In his research, Frank McAndrew, a professor of applied social psychology at Knox College, suggested that gossip was a remnant of our evolution. According to his theory, natural selection forced human beings to know as much as they could about their surroundings and people in their social circle so that they could form meaningful connections. It also helped them bypass certain alliances which could prove to be risky. And in the process, they also formed meaningful bonds with those who trusted them enough to share information with them (3).

Now, in the modern age, we still carry this instinct within ourselves, only now our social circle also includes celebrities. For why else would the whole world be torn about when Jennifer Aniston would find true love? But this instinct is not entirely vestigial in nature. It forms the crux of our social interactions. We all want something to talk about, and gossip provides us with enough steam to keep that conversation engine going.

Well, as deep as this is, it’s not as exciting as the plot of Gossip Girl, right? But it does prove that there’s more to our human interactions than what appears on the surface. And something as insignificant as gossip can be of much import to it.

But for now, we leave you with this. The next time you see a man telling you that women are the source of all gossip, you just pull this article and stand your ground girl!

Today, we live in a world where people record videos when someone’s going to die rather than step forward and help them. If you think about it, hundreds of assaults and rapes could have been stopped from happening if the people around reacted. Fortunately, among the silent spectators and pretentious protestors, we also have people like Bhargsetu Sharma. She is the 21-year-old NCC cadet whose bravery saved a young man’s life. Bhargsetu, who is also an animal lover, has saved thousands of animals by rescuing them and giving them the care they require.

She is a resident of Vadodara, Gujarat and is currently pursuing her Masters in Social Work. Her bravery and kind heart has made her a local hero. Want to know the story of Bhargsetu? Read on.

May 13, 2018—The Unforgettable Day

bhargsetusharma / Instagram

It was during the summer of last year that Bhargsetu Sharma saw the god of death right in front of her eyes. The then 20-year old NCC candidate and Indian army aspirant had just attended a training session for the Service Selection Board that day. On the same day, there was also a workshop conducted by Humans with Humanity, a community for animal rescue and welfare which Bhargsetu herself founded when she was just sixteen.

After the completion of the workshop, the volunteers wanted to go for a picnic and they asked Bhargsetu to join them. She agreed and they went to Mahi Sagar in Rasalpur for a short trip. “When we reached Mahi Sagar, I decided to swim in the deeper side of the river. Just when I was about to take the plunge, I heard screams. People were pointing out to the water and yelling, ‘Unko bacha lo’ (Save them),” recollects Bhargsetu during an interview with an online media website. There were two boys drowning by the deeper end of the river.

One of the boys were rescued by a local but his friend was not to be seen anywhere. Being an accomplished swimmer, Bhargsetu didn’t have much to think before diving into the water to search for the boy. “At first, I was standing at the highest point and tried searching for the boy. But, there was no movement or ripple in the water. As the crowd started panicking, I decided to dive into the river and continue the search. I swam for about 12 minutes, and as I neared the riverbed, I finally saw him. He was immobile, appeared lifeless. I couldn’t find a pulse and realized that he was going into cardiac arrest,” she said.

To help the man in the critical condition, Bhargsetu administered CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) on him. Since his jaws were locked, she inserted her fingers inside his mouth to get the water out carefully without blocking his breathing. To Bhargsetu’s horror, the man started biting her fingers as he went into a seizure. Being an animal rescuer, she had been bitten by many creatures. However, she recollects being bitten by a human as the most painful experience. Bhargsetu didn’t stop even if the man was hurting her because she knew if she stopped, his heart would stop too.

The brave cadet kept slapping the man to keep him conscious and after multiple efforts, the man asked her to stop hitting him in a feeble voice. We can imagine the happiness Bhargsetu would have felt at the moment. The healthy man is now a student in Singapore. She became the Wonderwoman of her town within no time and won several awards for her bravery including the Governor’s medal and the prestigious Raksha Mantri Padak.

The Animal Lover

Bhargsetu is an ardent animal lover and as we said earlier, she started Humans with Humanity when she was only sixteen! Growing up in a family full of animal lovers, she always shared a close bond with them. She claims to have saved over 38000 strays and birds till today. When she realized that she couldn’t handle the number of calls to rescue animals from different locations with her team, she created a Facebook group for the same purpose. Today, the community has more than 80 members who strive hard to rescue animals in distress.

“We want to register the community as an animal welfare NGO, and continue to impact the lives of many strays and distressed animals,” said Bhargsetu. The 21-year-old was again under the spotlight after she appeared on Roadies, one of MTV India’s most celebrated reality shows. The show has definitely garnered more fans for Bharsetu. According to her if someone believes in something strongly and follows it with all their heart, they can be a change-maker no matter how young they are. Wow, isn’t that a wonderful thought!

The world is huge and is in dire need of people like Bhargsetu who can selflessly help fellow human beings as well as animals. Did Bhargsetu’s story inspire you? Have you ever considered social work as a passion? Let us know in the comments below.

Your partner and you exchanged rings a few days back. You both must be thinking that the tough times are over, now that you both are together. You are more than happy to bask in the newlywed glow for at least a reasonable duration of future which is foreseeable. But if you see through the reality lens, you’ll know that just because it’s the honeymoon phase, it doesn’t mean everything’s going to be smooth sailing.

Everybody swears by to be a great spouse on D-day, but as the wedding cake turns stale and reality begins to kick in — you realize that marriage isn’t as easy as you thought it to be! Because with marriage comes the coming together of two different families, friendships, money and belongings, and pitfalls.

We asked few relationships experts to share with us the common fights that couples tend to face during their first year of marriage. We also asked them about ways with which one could navigate through contentious issues like these. And we’ve put together a ready read for you. Read on!

1. The “Why Aren’t We Having Our Moments?” Fight

Shutterstock

While you were dating, you must have witnessed some really intense intimate moments with your partner. And this must’ve given you the confidence that after your marriage, maintaining the same would be a cakewalk. However, the truth stands that there are many couples who experience a dip in their personal moments with their partner at least during the first year of their marriage.

Experts say that this isn’t an uncommon thing. They say that partners do face issues and are unhappy. Now, the reason behind this could be plenty — you may be surrounded with relatives who don’t let you both have any personal space, the long duration of leaves you took for your marriage must’ve piled up truck loads of work for you.

But, yeah, it’s true that if there is an absence of intimate moments, the emotional and physical distance between the two of you can make you feel rejected (1).

The solution to this is, whenever you witness such falloffs, communication is the key. Talk it out with your partner, try to know what he is feeling. If not a vacation, go for a staycation and gift yourself an intimate vacay. Never collude in silence.

2. The “I’m Fed Up Of Cleaning Up For You” Fight

One of the major problems that a newlywed couple faces is to figure out a way to divvy up the household chores in a way that will work well for both of them. Handling laundry, cleaning up the kitchen and bathrooms, making dinner, cleaning the dishes — all these needed to be divided among the two equally. This, dear couples, is very essential for the health of your marriage (2).

If the share of these responsibilities falls on just one shoulder, it could lead to build up of resentment and frustration.

And honestly it’s not always the fault of men, there are a good number of women too who often forget to clean up after themselves and it’s their husbands who end up doing it.

The solution here would be to find a formula that works fine with both of you.

3. The “How Do We Manage Our Holidays?” Fight

Shutterstock

Your holidays aren’t yours anymore, they become a shared one along with your partners. And there can be plenty of things you want to do with them. A solo travel, a couple vacation, you might also want to continue the long-standing tradition of visiting a temple during festival, but hey, ultimately, sacrifices of the same need to be made. Yours and your spouse’s family might pressurize you to go visit a temple which is 8 hours away on your holidays. But listen up, you both have created your own family by marrying, and what you both want needs to be above what your extended family wants. Of course, certain rituals cannot be avoided, that’s something you both can never let go off.

4. The “You Can’t Manage Money” Fight

Money has always been a very thorny object when it comes to couples, and with the newlyweds, it becomes an even more notorious subject. Whether it’s about thinking of expanding your family or buying a new home together, it’s going to be a messy conversation if you’re talking it out for the first time.

While you were dating or living together, you could’ve still managed to hide your finances. But after marriage being transparent about your finances is the best thing to do. Knowledge about both of your financial assets is what will help your partner and you manage all your expenditures well. And you will never have to fight or blame each other over managing expenses.

At the end of the day, honesty, transparency, loyalty, and having the ability to express feelings to each other is what you need to work on as a couple to keep misunderstandings and fights at bay. Which other fight do you think is very common among the newlyweds? Let us know in the comments section.

Bollywood and politics are two mediums in India that directly reach the largest chunk of the masses. If you take a moment to compare the two, you’d find many similarities between them (including the involvement of tonnes of money and truckloads of fame). Also, both Bollywood and politics hold immense power when it comes to influencing the minds of the public. This is probably why we’ve seen many Bollywood celebrities try their luck in politics.

This transition of fame from elsewhere to politics isn’t all exclusive to just Bollywood actors. We’ve seen sportsmen, athletes, and celebrities from various other fields joining the club. For those celebrities who are already successful in their own fields, politics becomes a place to re-establish their public image and serve the country. For the parties, they are valuable candidates since they’re already popular among the public making it a win-win situation for the party. Being specific to Bollywood, there are actors who have tried their luck in politics after not getting the success they desired from the film industry and there are stars that have joined politics after they’ve cut down the number of movies to work in.

Over the years, Indian politics has had many Bollywood actresses enter politics and prove that they are not just pretty faces but also strong-minded women who want to serve the nation. Let’s take a look at some of the Bollywood actresses who made it big in politics.

1. Jaya Bachchan

Mrs. Bachchan is one of the golden stars of her time in Bollywood wholater on went on to establish a strong career in politics. Jaya was first elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2004 from the Samajwadi Party and was representing Uttar Pradesh. She got elected for the second time in 2006, for the third time in 2012, and for the fourth time in 2018! Now, that’s definitely a strong political career.

2. Hema Malini

dreamgirlhemamalini / Instagram

The dream girl of Bollywood stepped into politics when she campaigned for actor Vinod Khanna who was a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the 1999 Lok Sabha elections, in Punjab. Later in 2004, Hema joined BJP officially. After being nominated by the then President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, she served as a member of the Rajya Sabha from 2003 to 2009. Hema took in charge as the General Secretary of BJP in 2010 which was a huge leap in her political career. She won the general elections in 2014 from the Mathura constituency to become a member of the Lok Sabha.

3. Rekha

Rekha is a very versatile actress whose beauty is timeless. At 64, she still dazzles. She was nominated to the Rajya Sabha by the President in 2012 along with Sachin Tendulkar. Reportedly, Jaya Bachchan who was also a Rajyasabha MP then, moved to another chair so that she will not be in the same frame with Rekha (we know why).

4. Isha Koppikar

Isha Kopikkar may not have made it big in Bollywood, but she’s doing quite well in the field of politics. The actress, who is remembered for her performance in movies like Krishna Cottage and Don 2, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party earlier in January this year. Isha is appointed as the working president of the Women Transport Wing.

5. Kirron Kher

Kirron Kher is one of the most loved Bollywood actresses of yesteryear who is shining even today. Kirron, who also judges reality shows like India’s Got Talent alongside Malaika Arora and Karan Johar joined the politics in 2009. She made her big step by being a member of BJP after which she campaigned for the party in many parts of the country for the 2011 municipal corporation elections. In 2014, she became a Lok Sabha member from Chandigarh. Again in 2019, she won the general elections in Chandigarh against Congress Party candidate Pawan Kumar Bansal.

6. Gul Panag

The actress and model who is known for her adventurous lifestyle has also tried her luck in politics. For the 2014 general elections, Gul was the candidate for the Aam Aadmi Party in Chandigarh. However, she was overtaken by Kirron Kher and she came third in the election.

7. Shabana Azmi

azmishabana18 / Instagram

Shabana Azmi is one of the most outstanding actresses Bollywood has ever had and her choice of movies never fail to surprise us. Her parents Kaifi Azmi and Shaukat Azmi were both members of the Communist Party of India. So, it wasn’t such a surprise when she decided to join politics. Shabana was nominated as a member of the Rajya Sabha in 1997 and she served the membership till 2003. Since then she has been approached by many political parties to contest in the elections but Shabana has taken more interest in working towards the empowerment of women without joining any party.

Smriti Irani who is a huge star on the small screen has also made it really big in politics. Also, South Indian actresses like the late Jayalalitha became a revolutionary figure in the history of Indian politics. Which actress do you think is the most successful politician? Who else do you think would do well in politics? Share your opinions with us in the comments section below.

How often do you look at yourself in the mirror? Pretty much every day, right? But how often do you take a look at your tongue? If you are someone who maintain oral hygiene, we’re sure you look at it every day. Well, you should observe your tongue regularly because it can give you cues about your health. Just like our skin, hair, nails, and teeth, our tongue also show signs of worry when we are facing a health issue. These health issues are often not dangerous but in some cases, they might need medical attention. Hence, if you feel that there’s something unusual about the way your tongue looks or feels, it’s important to keep a close eye.

Pain, sores, change in taste, color, and texture are some of the things that your tongue may get affected with. While you can treat them with home remedies, it’s important to see a doctor in case the symptom becomes worse or it bothers you too much. Tiny bumps on the tongue is yet another thing that needs your attention. There are many reasons why these bumps appear on your tongue including underlying health problems. Read on to know more.

White Tongue

White tongue is a condition during which your tongue looks pale and white. This happens because of the overgrowth and swelling of the papillae on your tongue. Papillae are finger-like projections on the surface of the tongue and they look white when debris, bacteria, and dead cells get stuck on them due to the swelling. There are many reasons why the papillae of your tongue swell like poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, dehydration, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, or mouth breathing. Other causes of white tongue include fever mechanical irritation from sharp tooth edges and dental appliances, and eating only soft and mashed food items (low roughage diet). White tongue is associated with many health problems like oral yeast infection, oral cancer, syphilis, leukoplakia, and geographic tongue. If you have white tongue, it’s not necessary that you have a serious medical issue. But to be on the safer side it would be better to get your tongue checked (1).

Sjogren’s Syndrome

Sjogren’s syndrome is an auto-immune disease which means that your immunity system will attack the cells of your own body by mistake. In the case of those who have Sjogren’s syndrome, their tear and salivary glands get attacked. Due to this, the mouth and eyes become unusually dry and the person will have to sip water too many times a day to prevent the dryness. If you have this syndrome, you may get ulcers, bumps, and sores on your tongue. Also, you may dryness on your lips, nose, skin, and throat as well. Sjogren’s can also affect other body parts like the joints, kidneys, lungs, digestive organs, nerves, and blood vessels. This syndrome mostly occurs in people who are above the age of forty and it has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (2) (3). Medical attention is necessary in case you’re experiencing the symptoms of the syndrome.

Leukoplakia

Like we discussed earlier, bumps on your tongue may be due to a medical problem known as leukoplakia. During this condition, you may notice thickened, white patches on your tongue, gums, insides of your cheeks, and the bottom of your mouth. Doctors are not sure about what causes these patches but they have been linked to oral cancer. While most of them are non-cancerous, cancerous patches are seen very close to leukoplakia patches which is the reason why they are suspected to be an early symptom of oral cancer. Some people may get affected by hairy leukoplakia, a certain type of leukoplakia causes fuzzy, white patches that look like ridges or folds usually by the sides of the tongue. This type of leukoplakia occurs due to a weak immune system which is a result of diseases like AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) (4).

Tongue Inflammation Due To Acid Reflux

Papillae are tiny structures on our tongue that contain projections called microvilli. The microvilli have sensory cells that transmit messages to our brain. If you have an acid reflux problem, the stomach acid will rise up through your food pipe and damage these sensory cells. A person whose microvilli are damaged will find it difficult to sense taste as well as before. Acid reflux can make your papillae inflamed and you might feel constant burning sensation in your mouth. This situation can be aggravated if you eat spicy and oily food that will make your acid reflux worse. Acid reflux has to be treated on time because they can lead to the damage of your stomach walls. In extreme cases of acid reflux, you can even get painful ulcers (5).

The primary thing to do if you want to avoid any sorts of bumps on your tongue is to maintain good oral hygiene. Always brush twice every day, floss, and use a good mouthwash. Also, take care of what you’re eating and the medications that you’re consuming. Even if you don’t feel any other symptoms and just the bumps, it’s a good idea to get them checked.

David Ogilvy, the father of the modern advertising, once said to prospective copywriters and ad-makers, “Your role is to sell, don’t let anything distract you from the single purpose of advertising.”

Ogilvy, who is often looked up to as the God of advertising, saw it as a business skill, and actively discouraged people from looking at it from the perspective of art. But, how can one expect to discover new things and innovate if they don’t push the boundaries of their field a little, right?

And time and again, Indian copywriters and ad-makers have pushed the envelope to create memorable ad campaigns that have firmly imprinted the brand in the minds of its consumers. Be it Amul’s topical commentary cartoons or Cadbury Dairy Milk’s mushy ad campaigns, these ads always made the consumers look at the products fondly, but there are some which weren’t received so well.

Today, we have decided to look at a few such Indian print and TV ads that proved to be a bit too much for the audience to digest. Here they are:

1. This Print Ad For Tuff Shoes That Resulted In A Legal Battle (1995)

HindustanTimes

This black and white advertisement created quite a stir in its time. The bare bodies of supermodels Madhu Sapre and Milind Soman entwined in an erotic position with nothing except a python wrapped around them and a pair of Tuff Shoes covering their feet, upset a lot of people. So much so that it led to a filing of a case for indecent behavior against the models in a court. The advert was also dragged to the court by the wildlife protection authorities for illegal use of the snake.
The ad was ultimately banned.

2. Amul Macho Ad Featuring Model Sana Khan (2007)

If you happened to watch this ad with your mother or father by your side, you would have surely and awkwardly fumbled with the TV remote to skip the channel. Sexually suggestive, this ad was beyond the pale of the Indian audience. Soon enough the Indian Broadcasting Ministry banned the ad for being vulgar and indecent.

3. Sunny Leone’s Seductive Plea For Manforce Condoms (2017)

Koimoi

It makes sense for a condom brand to tie up with a former adult star turned country’s favorite item girl to promote their product. But this decision cost Manforce heavily when they tried to launch their ad by capitalizing on the occasion of Navratri (the 9-night festival celebrating the various incarnations of Goddess Durga). The copy line which translates to “This Navratri, play, but with love” drew on the playing of Garba (a popular Gujarati Navratri folk ritual). It drew the ire of All India Confederation Of Traders. Ultimately, Manforce had to withdraw the ad and tender an apology as well.

4. This Motorola Ad Which Never Made It To Our TV Screens (2008)

Now, that you’ve had a look at it, we are pretty sure that you agree that it was for a good reason. This ad which might have been trying to prove that Motorola’s new phone was nifty little gadget with its snazzy camera, ended up marketing it as every voyeur’s dream tool. It’s not a surprise that it was never released on television.

5. This Ad For A Swiss Inner Wear Company Featuring Bipasha Basu (1998)

HindustanTimes

Even though the inner wear company for which this ad was made disappeared from people’s radar quite soon, the ad managed to rake in quite a bit of controversy. In the print ad, the then-couple Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu were seen indulging in a few intimate moments wherein Dino was captured tugging at Bipasha’s underwear with his teeth.

The ad was banned after several women organizations protested against it. Later on, Bipasha went on to claim that those pictures captured some private moments between the couple and should never have been used or photographed in the first place.

6. Wild Stone Ad That Was Deemed Too Steamy (2007)

Even as you were going through this list, you would have realized that the overt portrayal of sexuality and religion are never a good combo. This ad for Set Wet deo ignored this unsaid rule by setting its racy ad in the context of Durga Puja, much to the dismay of its chaste Indian customer base. This ad along with other deodorant ads, which capitalized on sexuality, were banned by the Indian Broadcasting Ministry for portraying women as “lustily hankering after men under the influence of such deodorants” (1). It turns out, sex doesn’t always sell in our country.

Creative. Yes. But did these ads succeed in hitting the nail on the head? We are not sure.

हालांकि, आपने कई लोगों को कहते सुना होगा कि ‘योग हमसे न होगा’, लेकिन कपालभाती प्राणायाम के फायदे जानकर आप भी यही कहेंगे कि ‘योग से ही होगा’। इस लेख में हम न सिर्फ आपको कपालभाति प्राणायाम के लाभ बताएंगे, बल्कि कपालभाति करने का तरीका भी बताएंगे।

इससे पहले कि आप कपालभाति योग कैसे करें यह जानें, आपके लिए यह जानना जरूरी है कि योग क्या है? नीचे हम उसी के बारे में बता रहे हैं।

योग क्या है ?

योग प्राचीन काल से किया जाने वाला एक अभ्यास है, जो न सिर्फ मनुष्य के शरीर को आराम देता है, बल्कि मन को भी शांत करता है (1) (2)। इसमें कई आसनों का उल्लेख आता है और कपालभाति प्राणायाम उन्हीं में से एक है। इस लेख के पढ़ने के बाद आपको कपालभाति प्राणायाम के बारे में संपूर्ण जानकारी मिल जाएगी।

कपालभाति प्राणायाम क्या है – Kapalbhati in Hindi

कपालभाति को प्राणायाम का एक हिस्सा माना गया है। इसमें तेजी से सांस छोड़ने की प्रक्रिया की जाती है, जिससे विभिन्न बीमारियों का इलाज हो सकता है। अगर यह कहें कि कपालभाति शरीर को अंदर से साफ करने का तरीका है, तो गलत नहीं होगा। कपालभाती दो शब्दों से मिलकर बना है ‘कपाल’ यानी ‘माथा/ललाट’ और ‘भाति’ जिसका अर्थ है ‘तेज’। कपालभाति करने से शरीर के सभी अंग सही प्रकार से कार्य करने में सक्षम होते हैं और खून को शुद्ध करने में भी मदद मिलती है। ऐसा कहा जाता है कि नियमित तौर पर कपालभाति करने से दिमाग शांत होता है और व्यक्ति के माथे पर उसकी चमक दिखने लगती है (3)।

आगे जानिए कपालभाति कैसे करें, लेकिन उससे पहले यह जान लेते हैं कि कपालभाति कितने प्रकार के होते हैं।

कपालभाति प्राणायाम के प्रकार – Types of Kapalbhati in Hindi

कपालभाति प्राणायाम तीन प्रकार के होते हैं।

1. वातकर्म कपालभाति – इसमें व्यक्ति सीधे ध्यान की मुद्रा में बैठकर अपनी एक उंगली से एक नासिका छिद्र को बंद करके दूसरी नासिका छिद्र से सांस खींचता है और तुरंत ही दूसरी तरफ की नासिका छिद्र को बंद करके सांस छोड़ता है।

2. व्युत्क्रम कपालभाती – इस योग में व्यक्ति नाक से गुनगुना पानी खींचता है और मुंह से निकालता है।

कपालभाति प्राणायाम करने का तरीका – Kapalbhati Steps in Hindi

कपालभाति प्राणायाम को आप हमेशा सुबह करें, क्योंकि सुबह का माहौल शांत और शुद्ध होता है। इससे आपको ज्यादा फायदा मिलेगा। ध्यान रहे कि कपालभाति करने से पहले और बाद में थोड़ी देर तक कुछ न खाएं।

• कपालभाति प्राणायाम करने से पहले बैठने के लिए साफ और स्वच्छ योग मैट या कोई चादर बिछा लें।

• अब आप पद्मासन, सुखासन या वज्रासन किसी भी आरामदायक मुद्रा में बैठ जाएं। अपने दोनों हाथों को घुटनों पर रखें।

• अपनी रीढ़ की हड्डी को सीधा रखते हुए ध्यान की मुद्रा में बैठें।

• अब अपने मन की सारी चिंताओं को भूल जाएं।

• अब गहरी लंबी सांस लें और धीरे-धीरे छोड़ दें। ऐसे कम से कम दो बार जरूर करें।

• फिर नाक से सांस को बाहर की ओर निकालें। जब सांस को बाहर निकालें, तो पेंट को अंदर की ओर खींचें।

• ऐसा आपको लगातार करना है। बीच में रुकना नहीं है। साथ ही ध्यान रहे कि मुंह को बंद रखें। उससे न तो सांसा छोड़ें या लें।

• सिर्फ नाक से ही सांस को बाहर छोड़ना है और हल्की-हल्की सांस नाक से ही लेनी है।

• ऐसा 15 से 20 बार करने से कपालभाति प्राणायाम का एक राउंड होता है।

• आप ऐसे तीन राउंड कर सकते हैं और फिर थोड़ी देर सुखासन की मुद्रा में बैठकर ध्यान लगाएं। इससे आपके शरीर और मन को आराम मिलेगा।
