I have not tried this but the logic holds good.

Blend 1 tablespoon cumin and put in saucepan,skin ginger and grate a tablespoon and put into the same saucepan, add a litre of water and bring to boil, cook for 5 minutes, let cool then strain into a glass jar, add to the mix the juice of one lemon and stir. 30 minutes before each meal consume 50 ml of this mix.

Can a simple diet change reduce your risk of falling? New research reveals that older adults—especially women—who eat fewer fruits and vegetables face a significantly higher chance of injurious falls.

A recent study published in the journal Aging Clinical and Experimental Research reveals that eating more fruits and vegetables could lower the risk of falls among older adults, particularly women. Researchers found that seniors who don’t consume enough produce are more likely to experience fall-related injuries, highlighting the role of nutrition in both overall health and accident prevention.

The research included data from over 34,000 people aged 50 and up across several lower-income countries. Findings revealed that women who didn’t meet the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables were nearly twice as likely to suffer fall-related injuries compared to those who followed dietary guidelines. This link was not as strong for men.

Given these findings, experts are urging more research to confirm how diet directly impacts fall risk. They also stress that improving access to nutritious foods could be a key strategy in preventing falls, especially in countries where older adults struggle to afford a healthy diet. Promoting better eating habits is seen as a crucial step in enhancing the health and safety of aging populations worldwide.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland have pioneered an innovative process that transforms plastic waste into vanillin, the key component of vanilla flavoring, using genetically engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Their study, published in Green Chemistry, details how PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastics, commonly found in bottles and packaging, can be broken down into terephthalic acid, which is then biologically converted into vanillin through a series of engineered bacterial reactions.

This breakthrough provides a novel and sustainable approach to addressing plastic waste while also meeting the increasing global demand for vanillin, which is widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. With rising concerns over environmental sustainability, this method could significantly reduce reliance on petrochemical-derived vanillin and offer a circular economy solution for plastic recycling. As bioengineered vanillin makes its way into products like ice cream, chocolate, baked goods, candies, and beverages, the implications for both food science and environmental conservation are profound.

• Vitamin E supports a healthy pregnancy — Vitamin E intake during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of food allergies in newborns by stabilizing immune responses and lowering histamine levels
• Vitamin E alters histamine production — Researchers found that α-tocopherol, a specific form of vitamin E, prevented severe allergic reactions by reducing the release of histamine, the chemical responsible for swelling, itching and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction)
• Infants get the benefits of vitamin E immediately — Babies with genetic skin barrier weaknesses, such as those linked to eczema, are more likely to develop food allergies, but vitamin E helps reinforce immune regulation and reduce their risk
• Vitamin E doesn’t interfere with your body’s natural processes — Vitamin E supplementation during pregnancy influenced newborn immune responses without suppressing other necessary immune functions, meaning it helps prevent allergies without weakening overall immunity
• Simple dietary changes have big impact — Eating more pasture-raised eggs, grass fed beef liver, avocados, and wild-caught fish will provide the necessary levels of vitamin E to support immune balance in both mother and baby

Vitamin E, while not as popular as other vitamins, nevertheless plays an important role in human health. According to the National Library of Medicine, vitamin E helps form red blood cells, metabolizes vitamin K properly and facilitates communication between different cells.

But more importantly, vitamin E supports the immune system — especially when it comes to improving food allergy tolerances in early life. This discovery was published in a February 2025 study in The Journal of Immunology.

• For more than a century, there has been a push to medicalize childbirth and transform it from a natural life event to something requiring major interventions so nothing goes amiss
• Many of the standard procedures done during hospital births increase your risk of needing other invasive interventions, eventually cascading into requiring a cesarean section
• Like other major abdominal surgeries, C-sections expose mothers to significant risk, require a prolonged recovery, and leave large scars which can cause a wide range of chronic issues
• C-sections also expose infants to real risks and predispose them to a variety of chronic autoimmune and neurological issues
• This article will discuss the risks of C-sections, the situations where they are necessary, and some approaches that can be used to recover from them

• A 2025 meta-analysis of 46,694 cancer patients found that higher muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness reduced all-cause mortality risk by 31% to 46% across different cancer types and stages
• The same study showed that each unit increase in muscle strength reduced death risk by 11%, while increases in cardiovascular fitness lowered cancer-specific mortality by 18%
• Beyond improving cancer outcomes, a 2021 review of 188 studies found that regular physical activity reduces the risk of developing multiple cancer types by 10% to 20% through various mechanisms
• For cancer patients, intense workouts aren’t necessary; simple activities like daily walks or standing up from a chair multiple times meaningfully improve strength and fitness
• The optimal daily target for walking is 10,000 to 12,000 steps, while strength training is most effective at 40 to 60 minutes weekly, spread across two to three sessions; exceeding 130 minutes negates benefits

• Modern lifestyles drain cellular energy faster than it’s replenished, as mitochondria struggle to produce adequate ATP, leading to systemic dysfunction and setting the stage for chronic illness
• Ultraprocessed foods, especially those high in vegetable oils and processed sugars, disrupt mitochondrial function while lacking essential nutrients for cellular health
• Sedentary behavior reduces mitochondrial biogenesis and impairs muscle function, circulation and hormone regulation, creating a cascade of metabolic dysfunction that compromises overall energy production
• Environmental toxins, including endocrine disruptors, heavy metals and electromagnetic fields (EMFs), damage mitochondria and overwhelm your body’s detoxification systems
• Identifying and addressing factors that undermine your mitochondrial function is essential for optimizing your cellular energy, as resolving these barriers unlocks the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive
