Bharti Singh on doing intermittent fasting to lose weight yet having a full plate breakfast: ‘Aapko lagega baarat aagayi hai'
In a recent interaction, Bharti Singh detailed her breakfast and diet, sharing that she ensures to have all three meals. 'I have also done intermittent fasting to reduce my weight. But I eat properly at all three times. I am hungry as soon as I wake up. After going to the washroom, I skip bathing but sit down to eat. So, in half an hour after I wake up, I have paratha, raat ki sabzi, and half-fried egg. No milk or curd. I have black tea with ginger. And white butter. Aapko lagega baarat aagayi hai (You will feel that you are at a wedding reception),' she said in a conversation with actor Ridhi Dogra on her YouTube channel, alongside her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa. As she further shared that she eats her last meal at 6-7 pm, Limbachiyaa added that it is on the recommendation of their Ayurvedic doctor that she stuck to the routine. 'Our Ayurvedic doctor said that the stomach's digestive fire is high in the morning. So, you can do intermittent fasting, but eat in the morning. That means you start your fast at 5 pm. So, the digestive fire will be so heavy at 8-9 am. But ultimately, it depends on the body,' Limbachiyaa contended. Taking a cue from Bharti's revelation, let's understand all about the benefits of having a heavy breakfast. Dr Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant, internal medicine, Gleneagles Hospital Parel, Mumbai, said a hearty breakfast can significantly impact overall health and well-being, offering several benefits. 'Consuming a well-rounded breakfast, packed with essential nutrients, can jumpstart metabolism and provide the energy needed to navigate daily activities. A 'full plate' breakfast often includes a balance of proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates, which can help maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce cravings later in the day. Research indicates that a nutritious breakfast can improve focus, cognitive function, and productivity, making it an essential part of a balanced diet,' said Dr Agarwal. However, too many carbs can inhibit weight loss. The key is to ensure portion control, said Dr Agarwal. Additionally, intermittent fasting, when done correctly, can complement your body goals. 'This eating pattern typically involves cycling between periods of eating and fasting, which can enhance metabolic flexibility and improve insulin sensitivity. By eating a full breakfast and then abstaining from food for a prescribed period, individuals may experience weight management benefits, reduce inflammation, and promote cellular repair processes,' said Dr Agarwal. A structured eating routine that maximises nutrient intake while promoting a healthy lifestyle encourages mindful eating habits while leveraging the benefits of fasting, effectively supporting both physical and mental health. 'This balanced approach can lead to sustainable energy levels and improved overall wellness,' said Dr Agarwal.

Proven Natural Remedies to Soothe Itchy Skin Rashes
Itchy skin rashes can make daily life uncomfortable, distracting, and even painful. Triggered by factors like allergies, insect bites, dry air, eczema, or irritants, these rashes often lead to constant scratching, which may worsen the condition or cause infections. While there are plenty of topical medications available, natural remedies are gaining popularity for their gentle, side-effect-free relief. Many plants and herbal treatments have been used for centuries to calm irritated skin. Backed by their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, these remedies not only relieve itching but also promote healing. Here are six proven natural remedies that are safe and effective for managing itchy skin rashes. 1. Aloe Vera Gel Famous for its soothing and cooling effects, fresh aloe vera gel helps reduce itching and redness quickly. Its anti-inflammatory properties support faster healing while preventing secondary infections. Apply directly on the rash for immediate comfort. 2. Oatmeal Bath Colloidal oatmeal is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. It works wonders for rashes caused by eczema, allergies, and heat. Mix a cup of finely ground oatmeal into a lukewarm bath and soak for 15–20 minutes to ease itching. 3. Cold Compress A simple cold compress can bring quick relief. Wrap ice cubes in a clean cloth or use a chilled, damp towel and press it gently against the rash. This helps reduce inflammation and numbs the skin, calming the itchy sensation. 4. Chamomile Tea Compress Chamomile is known for its calming effects. Brew chamomile tea bags, allow them to cool, and place them on the irritated area. Its anti-inflammatory and healing compounds help soothe the skin and reduce redness. 5. Coconut Oil Packed with moisturizing and antimicrobial properties, virgin coconut oil helps relieve dry, itchy skin. The lauric acid in coconut oil combats bacterial and fungal infections, making it ideal for rash-prone skin. Apply twice daily for best results. 6. Neem Leaves Neem has been a staple in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to its potent antifungal and antibacterial qualities. Boil neem leaves in water, let it cool, and rinse the affected skin with this decoction. Alternatively, apply a fresh neem paste to calm the rash. These home remedies are a gentle alternative to chemical-based treatments and can offer substantial relief when used consistently. However, for persistent or worsening skin issues, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.

Doctor threatens to crash Air India Express flight, deboarded in Bengaluru
A 36-year-old doctor was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly threatening to crash an Air India Express flight from Bengaluru to Surat, leading to a two-hour delay and a security scare. The incident involved a heated dispute over cabin baggage placement, according to a report by The Times of India. The passenger was identified as Vyas Hiral Mohanbhai, a resident of Shivanahalli near Yelahanka, who was travelling alone with two bags. Passenger refuses to comply with crew, issues mid-air threat According to police, the Ayurvedic doctor bypassed the check-in counter and insisted on carrying both bags into the cabin. Once on board, she left one bag near the crew cabin and took the other to her seat (20F), violating airline baggage protocol. When the cabin crew asked her to store the bag in the overhead bin above her seat, she refused and demanded that the crew take responsibility for it. Despite repeated instructions from both the crew and the captain, she refused to comply and became verbally abusive. Fellow passengers attempted to calm her down, but she reportedly shouted at them as well. At one point, she allegedly threatened to crash the aircraft if the crew moved her bag. CISF intervenes as captain raises security alert The captain subsequently alerted security, and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel were called to the aircraft. They boarded the plane and escorted Mohanbhai off the flight. The disturbance lasted from approximately 2.45 pm to 5.30 pm on June 17, as per a complaint filed by Agnimitra Bahinipati, associate manager of security at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). Doctor remains disruptive at police station Police said the woman's disruptive behaviour continued at the KIA police station, where she allegedly abused and manhandled officers. 'This was the first time we heard such abusive language in the station,' a senior officer said. Her husband, who works at an educational institution in Bengaluru and is originally from Odisha, told police that she had stopped practising medicine and was on her way to Gujarat to visit family. He also confirmed that she had caused disturbances in public places previously. Authorities are now verifying her background.
