Emulsifiers! You unknowingly consume them daily. They are in almost every readymade food. But what are these and what impact they have on your #health. In below thread, i explore the world of #emulsifiers and why you should avoid them. #HealthyLiving #weightloss #processedfood

The BBL is an augmentation of the buttock region using a patient's fat tissue.
#AvonsPracticalTips #HealthyLiving
The BBL procedure starts with liposuction of a different area, often the abdomen, flanks, thighs or back.
The fat removed from these areas is then injected into the hips and buttocks to improve shape and projection.

Over last 20years, people are not eating more, nor exercising less but still becoming #obese finds this recent study. In below thread, i explain key mechanism of #obesity postulated in this paper & what you can do to break this cycle. #HealthyLiving #gutmicrobiome #MedTwitter

#Obesity prevalence among US adults has soared from 14% to 42% since 1980, but mean calorie intake has not changed much in population. In fact, people are eating less relative to their body sizes. This finding was confirmed in paper using multiple databases

2. If Rs 10000/ is invested every month in mutual funds via SIP route (since age 30) and the expected return is 10% per annum, the savings would become a whopping 2.28 crores after 30 years (when he turns 60).
3. In addition, not smoking would reduce the risk of #heartattack, #stroke and several #cancers.
Medical insurance premium would also be lower.
So, healthcare costs would be significantly lesser for a non-smoker (as compared to a smoker).

As I struggled to escape from their grip, some pulled my legs apart while the others held my arms down. My mom abandoned me in the hands of the women.
My leg was dislocated in the struggle as they went ahead to have their way, the blade piercing
sharply through my flesh, leaving me in excruciating pain.
After the cut, they didn't bother to check whether I got other injuries but instead bound my legs together with a rope to the waist after sewing my wounds.
For almost a month, I was bound to my waist and slept on my side;

lot of people ask abt what helped me in this weight loss & fitness journey, how difficult was it & how do I keep myself motivated to be at it. A thread on it (1/10) #health #Health4All #fitnessmotivation #HealthyLiving @SandeepMall @IamShajanSamuel @SaravananOrg @drrajatchauhan
find your trigger - to me motivation to change has to come from within. you can get inspired by others but the trigger to start your own journey cannot come from them - my trigger was when i was unable to keep pace with my 4 year old daughter while playing with her :) (2/10)
look for your guide - once you have your trigger, next thing is to look for someone who can guide you as u get started - to me that guide/mentor was @SaravananOrg and his team at @AmuraHealth - they simplified the puzzle around weight loss for me! (3/10)
