New Delhi, Dec 22: – Clove Dental, Asia’s largest dental chain, extended its support to the Everest Expedition of Resilience, a women-led journey to Everest Base Camp featuring Gina Atkinson, along with Carly Jennifer Hudson, Michelle O’Dwyer, Thea Davies, and expedition lead Leela Bassi.

The expedition was much more than the physical challenge of reaching Base Camp. For the team, the journey stood as a profound reflection of emotional endurance, healing, and rediscovery. Each step through the Himalayas symbolised resilience forged through grief, burnout, trauma, hope, and the determination to rise despite personal battles.

Commenting on this, Sumit Saxena, Vice President, Marketing and PR, Clove Dental, said;

“When we first learned about the expedition led by Leela Bassi and her team, we immediately recognised the depth of purpose behind their journey. Their resilience, courage, and emotional strength reflected the very values we champion at Clove Dental, restoring confidence, supporting healing, and standing beside individuals in their moments of vulnerability.”

“At Clove Dental, our vision has always revolved around dignity, confidence, and compassionate care. When Leela and her team embarked on this mission, we saw a reflection of the same courage and resilience that our women-led workforce demonstrates every day. To support this expedition was to stand with every woman who chooses healing, strength, and purpose in the face of adversity. Their journey to Everest Base Camp captured the essence of what we believe health truly means: the courage to keep going, even when the path is uncertain. We are proud to have been a part of this extraordinary mission,” said Amarinder Singh, CEO, Clove Dental.

Clove Dental’s involvement aligned with its mission to uphold dignity, confidence, and holistic well-being. With nearly 75% of its workforce comprising women, the organisation has consistently championed initiatives rooted in courage, empowerment, and the transformative impact of care.

New Delhi, Dec 22: As fitness culture continues to gain momentum across India, orthopaedic specialists are raising concerns over a parallel and worrying trend a noticeable rise in gym-related injuries, particularly among young adults. Hospitals across the country report an increasing number of young professionals and students seeking treatment for musculoskeletal injuries linked to excessive or improper workout practices.

Orthopaedic observations in 2025 indicate a clear surge in injuries involving muscles, ligaments, and joints, with patients under 35 years accounting for a significant proportion of cases. Doctors attribute this trend to high-intensity training, poor exercise form, lack of professional supervision, and insufficient recovery time, which result in injuries that were earlier more commonly seen in older age groups.

Commenting on the trend, Dr. Simon Thomas, Senior Director  Robotics & Orthopaedics, Max Hospital Shalimar Bagh, said,

“We’ve seen a significant rise in gym-related injuries among young Indians, with almost half of our orthopaedic patients being under 35. What’s striking is that these are motivated young professionals and students who are genuinely trying to stay healthy. In their quest for quick results, many push their bodies too hard without giving themselves enough rest, without supervision, and without paying proper attention to their form. As a result, we’re seeing more ligament sprains, shoulder and knee injuries, back pain, and even early cartilage damage, issues we earlier associated with older patients. The good news is that most of this is preventable. Slowing down, focusing on correct technique, allowing the body time to recover, and seeking proper supervision can go a long way. Fitness should support you for life, not break you down in your youth.”

Echoing this concern, Dr. Vivek Logani, Senior Director  Orthopaedics, Paras Health, said,

“In 2025, we have observed a 25–30 per cent increase in gym-related musculoskeletal injuries compared to last year. Nearly one in three patients presenting with sports or fitness injuries report excessive or improper gym training as the primary cause. Common injuries include muscle tears, ligament and tendon damage, shoulder and knee sprains, stress fractures, and occasional bone injuries. While the growing focus on fitness is encouraging, overtraining, lifting heavy weights without supervision, and skipping warm-up or recovery phases are leading to preventable long-term damage.

Experts emphasise that while the increased interest in fitness is a positive shift, it must be supported by awareness and safe training practices. They advise gym-goers to focus on correct technique, gradual progression, adequate rest, and professional supervision to reduce injury risk. As more young Indians embrace fitness as a lifestyle, orthopaedic specialists stress that sustainable training is key to protecting long-term musculoskeletal health.

When the weather gets extremely cold, our body works extra hard to stay warm. This means we burn more calories, use more energy and even lose moisture without realising it. To handle all this, the body needs the right kind of food  not just for warmth, but also for immunity, energy and overall well-being. Here are some foods that genuinely help the body cope with harsh cold weather and why they are so beneficial.

1. Ghee and Other Healthy Fats

Ghee is one of the best foods for extreme cold. It gives slow and steady energy, keeps the body warm from within, and supports digestion even in winter when metabolism becomes sluggish. Healthy fats like ghee, nuts, seeds and cold-pressed oils provide insulation  they act like a protective layer inside the body. These fats also support the skin, which tends to get dry and flaky in winter.

2. Millets and Whole Grains

Ragi, bajra, jowar and whole wheat are excellent winter grains. They take longer to digest, which means they release energy slowly and keep the body warm for hours. Ragi is rich in calcium and iron; bajra naturally heats the body and improves blood circulation. Eating millet rotis, porridge or dosas during cold weather helps maintain body temperature and prevents fatigue.

3. Root Vegetables 

Root vegetables grow underground, so they naturally carry warmth-producing properties. Sweet potatoes are especially helpful because they are packed with complex carbs, fibre and antioxidants. Carrots and beetroot boost immunity, improve blood flow (which helps keep hands and feet warm), and provide essential minerals like potassium and folate.

4. Seasonal Fruits: Oranges, Guava, Apples

Cold weather often brings more infections, so fruits rich in Vitamin C become crucial. Oranges and guava strengthen immunity and support lung health, which is very important during winter flu season. Apples provide natural energy and fibre, helping the digestive system function well. These fruits also prevent dryness because they contain a lot of natural water.

5. Nuts and Seeds

Almonds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds are like tiny winter powerhouses. They are rich in healthy fats, protein, magnesium and Vitamin E. Sesame (til) is especially warming and helps keep bones strong. Nuts also stabilise blood sugar, which tends to fluctuate more in cold climates because the body uses energy faster.

6. Herbal Teas and Spices

Ginger tea, tulsi tea, cinnamon water and black pepper water are excellent in extremely cold weather. They warm the body instantly and boost immunity. Ginger reduces inflammation and helps keep the throat clear. Cinnamon supports blood sugar control and digestion. Turmeric milk is another winter staple  it improves immunity, supports joint health and fights infections.

7. Hot Soups and Broths

Hot vegetable soups, chicken broth, and dal soups give warmth, hydration and essential nutrients in one go. Soups keep the body moist from the inside, which is important because we don’t feel thirsty in cold weather and end up drinking less water. Warm liquids support circulation and keep the body comfortable.

8. Eggs and Lean Meat

Eggs are a complete source of protein and also contain Vitamin D, which becomes very important in winter when sunlight is limited. Lean meats provide iron and B vitamins that help maintain energy levels. These foods also help build muscle strength, which the body needs more in cold climates to stay active and warm.

9. Jaggery 

Jaggery is a natural warming agent. It helps with digestion, improves blood flow and is rich in minerals like iron and magnesium. In many cultures, eating a small piece of jaggery during winter is an age-old practice for maintaining warmth and boosting immunity.

In extreme cold, the body needs warmth, energy, hydration and immune support  all at the same time. Choosing foods that are rich in healthy fats, complex carbs, proteins, and essential vitamins can help you stay active, warm and healthy even in harsh weather. A simple combination of ghee, whole grains, soups, nuts, fruits and warm beverages can make a huge difference in how your body handles winter.

Hyderabad, Dec 22: Over 30,000 participants joined in person, with a million more from around the globe participating virtually, at the Heartfulness-led World Meditation Day event at Kanha Shanti Vanam, home to the world’s largest meditation hall. Themed ‘One World, One Heart’, the meditation led by Revered Daaji, Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, reflected the spirit of collective consciousness and shared humanity. The event was attended by the Hon’ble Vice President of India – Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan; the Hon’ble Governor of Telangana – Shri Jishnu Dev Varma; and Hon’ble Minister of IT of Telangana – Shri Sridhar Babu who also took part in the meditation.

Speaking about the impact of the event, the Hon’ble Vice President of India, Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan, “I appreciate the Heartfulness movement for its unparalleled commitment to peace, harmony and spiritual wellbeing. Heartfulness meditation is being practiced by police force in Madhya Pradesh, and they have witnessed a great change in their consciousness. As the Global spiritual guide, Daaji has made meditation simple practice for all ages and culture. His teachings emphasise balance, compassion and inner transformation to build a sound society through conscious living. Meditation leads to inner peace, clarity of heart and mind. India has centuries of spiritual wisdom attained by rishis as part of its heritage and through the teachings of vedas, Upanishads and Gita has contributed immensely to the world. The true source of all wisdom leads to culmination of jeeva into Shiva. Meditation is a need for collective progress towards becoming Viksit Bharat – not only as an economic leader but also as a spiritual leader. When we meditate, we transcend the barrier of humanity towards oneness towards society and nature. Let us lead by this example through spirituality and sustainability. Embrace mental peace and harmony.”

The Hon’ble Governor of Telangana, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, said: “It is a privilege to be here honouring Indian’s timeless wisdom. Meditation brings clarity, helps discover our inner being, it guides the inner journey from untruth to truth, darkness to light, mortality to immortality. Our ancient wisdom suggests that through meditation ego is dissolved, allowing nations to embrace; it nurtures wellness and empathy and goodwill and contentment. This world meditation day, collective meditation can elevate humanity from agitation to clarity, division to oneness, impulse to restraint and collective observance and universal wellbeing.”

Speaking about the initiative, Revered Daaji, Guide of Heartfulness and President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission said, “Meditation helps us to understand the purpose of life and yet meditation comes with practice. The processes is eased through Pranahuti – a divine energy which accelerates our journey to the ultimate Destination. Meditation in Sanskrit means Dhyana – a word which is a derivative of Dhi and Yan which is akin to a vehicle that transports one’s consciousness to the Divine. It is a tool to drop the inertia and arrive at a higher consciousness. Just as our body needs nourishment, so does our mind needs nourishment which comes through meditation. I am overjoyed to have our esteemed dignitaries who are also advocating meditation through Pranahuti and the innumerable numbers participate in today’s meditation to raise our collective consciousness.”

In the year 2024, the United National General Assembly unanimously declared 21 December coinciding with winter solstice as World Meditation Day when humanity would go inwards for peace. Heartfulness has been touching millions of hearts around the world creating a powerful wave of peace. 50000 police personal across 2600 meditation centres and police stations in Madhya Pradesh meditated in group today and vowed to meditate every Sunday in the police station, in an unprecedented historic moment for the nation and world. For this Shri Kailash Makwana – DGP Madhya Pradesh, was presented the Heartfulness Changemaker Award for contributed the initiative in the police force.

The session was open to everyone, including youth, students, professionals, and people from all walks of life. The meditation featured the transmission of Pranahuti by Daaji, a yogic energy that supports a shift into subtler states of consciousness and a natural sense of calm. Rooted in the teachings of Lalaji Maharaj and Babuji Maharaj, Heartfulness has grown into a global movement and continues to reach people across continents under Daaji’s guidance. Many practitioners have testified to the effectiveness of Heartfulness meditation, citing greater emotional steadiness, deeper clarity, and a more composed response to daily challenges.

Heartfulness rests on a simple observation: much of our lives is shaped by what we feel and the quiet inspirations that guide us. The practice encourages individuals to pay attention to this inner space with clarity. When the mind and heart begin to work in tune, life is more balanced. This is why Heartfulness focuses on meditating on the heart, a practical way of listening inward and navigating everyday life with a clearer sense of direction.

Pune,  Dec 19: Doctors at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi successfully used the advanced minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal  technique to remove a difficult skull base tumour -pituitary macroadenoma. Patient was experiencing severe headaches and progressive vision loss in both eyes and consulted multiple eye specialists but her vision continued to deteriorate. Eventually she was referred to Dr. Sachin Patil, Neurosurgeon, Manipal Hospital, Kharadi. A thorough examination and a 3 Tesla MRI of the brain revealed a massive, non-functioning pituitary tumor pushing on both optic nerves in the center and base of the brain. After the surgery, there were early indications of eyesight restoration and symptom reduction.

Speaking about the case, Dr. Sachin Patil, Consultant  Neurosurgery, Manipal Hospital Kharadi, said;

 “In the past, craniotomies, or open brain surgeries, were commonly performed to remove such tumors. In this case, our multidisciplinary team carried out the excision using the EETS technique, involving neuronavigational and high-definition endoscopic cameras to safely access and remove the tumor through the nasal cavity without making external incisions. We were able to remove  almost entire tumor with minimal damage to the surrounding healthy tissue due to the endoscopic technique, which led to a quicker recovery time and a significantly higher quality of life for our patient.”

Mr. Parameswar Das, Hospital Director, Manipal Hospital Kharadi, Pune said;

 “Cases like these showcase our dedication in delivering advanced and less invasive treatments that improve patient outcomes. The EETS procedure offers significant advantages such as reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and a lower likelihood of reoperation compared to traditional methods. The patient’s successful recovery and positive initial progress underscore our commitment to cutting-edge, patient-centred care.”

The procedure was led by a multidisciplinary team at Manipal Hospital, Kharadi, comprising Neurosurgeon Dr. Sachin Patil and Otolaryngologist Dr. Vijay Sharma.

Black coffee is among the easiest beverages you can prepare, that is, coffee powder and hot water only. No cream, no sugar, and no milk to be mixed in. What’s more, the drink that appears to be so simple is packed with a number of powerful benefits that have made it popular not only with fitness enthusiasts, office-workers but also with doctors who moderate its intake and recommend the drink. Since it contains neither sugar nor milk, it is low in calories and at the same time very rich in antioxidants. Hence, it is a better option for those who want to reduce their sugar intake, control their weight, or speed up their metabolism.

Energy and Focus Boost

Black coffee is the most common drink that instantly boosts energy and the main reason why people love it. The caffeine does wake you up, boosts the alertness and it is easier for you to focus. Drinking it in the morning or just before starting your work can make you feel more lively and mentally sharp. It is also a factor that improves one’s reaction time and concentration which is why lots of students and professionals depend on it.

A Great Help in Losing Weight

Black coffee has a very low-caloric content which renders it one of the best drinks for a weight loss diet. Besides, it has a metabolism-boosting effect which means that through the day your body will burn more calories. It also hastens the process of body fat being released. Many persons opt for a cup prior to workout since it gives more endurance and aids in burning the calories more efficiently.

Supports Heart Health 

 If taken in small amounts  which usually means one to two cups a day  black coffee may be able to lower the chances of heart disorders. It enhances the flow of blood, calms down inflammation and the cappillaries get more support. But bear in mind that overconsumption of coffee can actually lead to opposite effects, thus moderation is very important.

Might Lower the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes 

Drinking coffee on a daily basis is, in fac, linked to lower diabetes risk. This is because coffee improves the body’s insulin sensitivity and thus, glucose is used more efficiently. However, this applies only to black coffee and that too, unsweetened. Otherwise, sugar would take the advantage away. 

Helps in Liver Health

Also, black coffee is known for its ability to protect the liver. Moderate and regular consumption is associated with a decreased risk of fatty liver, cirrhosis and even liver cancer. It helps in the control of anti-liver enzymes and the support of general detoxification by the liver system. Thus, black coffee is mainly beneficial for those who suffer liver problems due to their lifestyle. 

Enhances Mood and Brain Activity 

Caffeine boosts dopamine levels  the “hormone of happiness”  which means you feel better and less tired. Besides, black coffee also promotes longevity of the brain and lowers the chances of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. The reason is that it not only eliminates the brain cells but also reduces nerve inflammation.

How Much Black Coffee Is Safe?

 1–2 cups daily are regarded as safe for most grown-ups. Over that may cause jitters, stomach upset, insomnia or faster heartbeat. It is advised not to have black coffee late evening or night, as it could disrupt your sleeping patterns.

Who Should Be Careful? 

The ones who are suffering from acidity, stomach ulcers, extreme anxiety or have blood pressure that is not controlled should be careful. Moreover, pregnant women are advised to see a doctor first before making it a habit of drinking caffeinated drinks.

When drinking black coffee at reasonable levels, it can be a great healthy asset to your daily regimen. Its energy-giving, weight loss, liver and heart support, mood enhancing and antioxidant providing properties are among its few benefits.
