<p>One drink down! Then two, then three, and then a few more. Next morning, we see a hangover knocking on our door to ruin our entire day! Sadly, we wake up groggy, nauseous and dehydrated. And, what do we crave the most? Something fried, greasy or full of sugar, please! The urge to order everything fried and sweet on the menu is truly insane. I, often, wondered&nbsp;why does this even happen? And, that too only after a binge-drinking sesh. And, I've finally found the answer with the help of some experts!</p>

<p>Ushakiran Sisodia, registered dietician and clinical nutritionist at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, says that the combination of alcohol's effects on the liver, pancreas, and glucose regulation leads to a drop in blood sugar levels. "Due to this, cravings for foods that provide quick energy, such as those high in sugar and fat are common effects of hangovers," she told Indian Express.</p>

<p>Sisodia further shared that these foods can, however, have a negative impact on your overall health and you must avoid it at all costs.</p>

<p>Elucidating, Dr Uma Naidoo, a Harvard-trained nutritional psychiatrist, says even though hangovers bring about cravings for greasy, fried and sugary foods, we must avoid them as they're drivers of inflammation in the gut and brain, which can further exacerbate the symptoms.</p>

<p>Sisodia advises people to start the day with lemon tea or cinnamon tea along with some fresh dates or fruits. This will help&nbsp;normalise your body's sugar levels.

A favourite among celebrities and those who love opulence in clothes, Sabyasachi is a name to reckon with but he always manages to court controversy for one reason or another. This time, netizens are pointing out that Sabyasachi’s latest advertorial features sad models.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One user wrote, “The face you make when you spend all your savings on a Sabyasachi!” “Daaamm. She really didn’t like her outfit, did she?” added another. Another wrote, “She is soo done with the world that even sabyasachi can't made her happy.”</p>

<p>All this traction on Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s latest post that reads: “THE NEW COLLECTION. Zari embroidered organza saree, silk blouse and veil with hand cut sequins, worn with Sabyasachi Heritage Jewellery.” In the post, a model is posing as a bride as she wears a saree by the label. The saree features a saree with intricate embroidery and a unique blend of traditional and contemporary design elements.

'Why are models so sad?' ask netizens and troll Indian designer Sabyasachi

<p>They’re the biggest of brands. But with no logos. And that’s the whole point. Call it stealth wealth, or quiet luxury. For the rich and those who aspire, logo-free fashion with outsized price tags is having a moment — at least among people who can spend in the face of higher inflation and a volatile economy.</p>

<p>It’s a come-and-go trend that, while spiking in the pandemic’s wake, traces its roots as far back as the American industrialists of the 19th-century Gilded Age and France in the 1700s. And retailers are taking note, as are more designers looking to capture not only the rich but their wannabes, too.</p>

<p>Think Hollywood nepo baby and Goop multimillionaire Gwyneth Paltrow and her head-to-toe Prada, luxurious cashmere sweaters and Celine boots during her week in a Utah courtroom in a dispute over a ski crash.</p>

<p>She was a picture of neutral-toned designer duds, and those who know luxury easily spotted the brands behind her staid, logoless, very pricey wardrobe.</p>

<p>“When you know, you know, and that’s sort of the point,” says Robert Burke, a luxury retail consultant. “The people they care about, the people in their rooms, know exactly what they’re wearing. And they’re the only ones who matter.”</p>

<p><strong>TV TRENDSETTERS</strong></p>

<p>Cue HBO’s hit <em>Succession</em>,&nbsp;the story of the uber-rich, cutthroat Roys led by the snarly and — SPOILER — now-dead patriarch Logan.</p>

<p>Costume designer Michelle Matland has created pricey yet stealth wardrobes unique to key characters as they have evolved, delighting fans who have followed her fashion breadcrumbs since the show’s 2018 premiere.</p>

<p>“It shouldn’t have bling quality,” she says. “You’re always going to have your, I guess, Kardashians — you know, the people who wear things that draw attention. They may have the same amount of money, but different aspirations.”</p>

<p>No logos for the Roys and their jet set, though one important striver in their midst had to learn about stealth wealth the hard way.</p>

<p>“It’s incredibly accurate. Every time you look at it, it tells you exactly how rich you are,” Shiv’s outsider husband, Tom Wambsgans, tells Logan of the Patek Philippe he presents the billionaire early in <em>Succession</em>.</p>

<p>With a trademark mumble and nothing in the way of a thank you, Logan rebuffs, then gives away, the birthday gift emblazoned with the name of the company whose watches can sell for north of $300,000.</p>

<p>Fast-forward to the latest season, at yet another Logan birthday bash. This time it’s Tom, still the groveler but a far savvier one, dissing wannabe Bridget’s display of luxury: a conspicuously huge $2,890 Burberry tote in a plaid familiar to fans of the company, sans logo.</p>

<p>“She’s brought a ludicrously capacious bag,” Tom snarls at his underling, Greg. “What’s even in there, huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean, Greg, it’s monstrous. It’s gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job.”</p>

<p><strong>SPLASHY TO CLASSIC</strong></p>

<p>Paltrow, to be fair, has always been drawn to a sleek, minimalist luxury. But her recent trial wardrobe was blasted out on TV at a time when more brands are putting understated (yet pricey) tones and shapes on runways and shelves.</p>

<p>Some are doing it while also staying true to customers living their spends out loud with flashy, recognizable silhouettes, fabrics, logos and bling.</p>

<p>“The stealth wealth mood was solidified in this season’s buys when the usually splashier brands, like Loewe, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, leaned into the more classic sensibility,” says Jodi Kahn, vice president of luxury fashion at the high-end retailer Neiman Marcus.</p>

<p>Those designers joined companies that have always done it, including some worn on “Succession” and the back of Paltrow: The Row, Brunello Cucinelli and Loro Piana among them.</p>

<p>Burke says much of the moment can be explained by the pandemic when young aspirational buyers flush with stimulus money and savings went after big brands with visibly big statements.</p>

<p>“To some degree, there is a fatigue now, along with uncertainty in the economy,” he says. “People are feeling they don’t want to show they have a lot of money necessarily.”</p>

<p>The quiet luxury moment has counter-moments, as fashion cycles generally do.</p>

<p>Companies from toothpaste makers to discounters are putting more premium items like $10 toothpaste and $90 creams on supermarket shelves. Some are looking for new ways to pump up sales and profits by focusing on premium items amid an overall sales slowdown.</p>

<p>Martin Pedraza, CEO of The Luxury Institute, a research, consultancy and employee training firm, says stealth wealth is a long-standing code among the uber-rich. Now, with a white-collar recession, “all the people getting laid off want to look very pristine.”</p>

<p>Can they afford to do it in the $1,390 Tom Ford hoodie worn by Kendall, another Roy? Maybe not, but they’re picking up more affordable cashmere and other goods from mass-market labels like J.Crew, Banana Republic and Vince. It’s the difference between $400 or less and upwards of $2,000.</p>

<p>“It’s all about fabric and texture,” Matland says. “You can have a cashmere sweater you get at J.Crew, but you can see the difference with what a more expensive one from another brand looks like.”</p>

<p><strong>THE EVOLUTION OF QUIET</strong></p>

<p>Analysts note that it’s during good times when people want to show off, not when nerves are raw about financial futures. Explains Pedraza: The rich try to imitate the masses as those in the middle and top of the mass mimic the minimalist rich.</p>

<p>He cites other stealth eras in fashion. There was the minimalist aesthetic of the 1990s when Donna Karan and Miuccia Prada made practical dressing fashionable, and a show of stealth wealth amid the recession of 2008-09.</p>

<p>Patricia Mears, deputy director of the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Museum at FIT, goes back even further.</p>

<p>“People with real money and power have always done this, at least in the United States,” she says. “We have this sort of WASP culture, Protestant culture, that turns away from maximalism.”</p>

<p>That’s only part of a larger story, Mears says.</p>

<p>“You really have to go back to the end of the 18th century. You have the fall of the French monarchy, and then you have this sort of dual rise of industrialization and the rise of urbanization. And so men step into what is called the Great Renunciation.”</p>

<p>There’s a turn away from powdered wigs and floral-brocaded suits covered with lace.</p>

<p>“All of this court life goes away, and now you have the real power base being the industrialists. They come in, they build wealth and power, and they’re doing it in a uniform, the dark suit,” Mears says. “A lot of scholars have said that this really becomes the respectable uniform if you want to be both powerful and understated.”</p>

<p>Does mimicking stealth wealth work? Investing in quality staple pieces is achieved for longer-lasting wear and less waste, but trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the rich with cheaper alternatives can be a problem. Because after all, when you know, you know.</p>

<p>But minimalism isn’t everything. No one expects that logos, along with recognizable signature prints and edgier silhouettes, are going anywhere.</p>

<p>“There will always be people who want the logos. Chanel could hardly give up its logo,” Pedraza says. “But there are always going to be brands that cave to what’s going on.”</p>

They’re the biggest of brands. But with no logos. And that’s the whole point. Call it stealth wealth, or quiet luxury. For the rich and those who aspire, logo-free fashion with outsized price tags is having a moment — at least among people who can spend in the face of higher inflation and a volatile economy.

They’re the biggest of brands. But with no logos. And that’s the whole point. Call it stealth wealth, or quiet luxury. For the rich and those who aspire, logo-free fashion with outsized price tags is having a moment — at least among people who can spend in the face of higher inflation and a volatile economy. It’s a come-and-go trend that, while spiking in the pandemic’s wake, traces its roots as far back as the American industrialists of the 19th-century Gilded Age and France in the 1700s. And retailers are taking note, as are more designers looking to capture not only the rich but their wannabes, too. Think Hollywood nepo baby and Goop multimillionaire Gwyneth Paltrow and her head-to-toe Prada, luxurious cashmere sweaters and Celine boots during her week in a Utah courtroom in a dispute over a ski crash. She was a picture of neutral-toned designer duds, and those who know luxury easily spotted the brands behind her staid, logoless, very pricey wardrobe. “When you know, you know, and that’s sort of the point,” says Robert Burke, a luxury retail consultant. “The people they care about, the people in their rooms, know exactly what they’re wearing. And they’re the only ones who matter.” TV TRENDSETTERS Cue HBO’s hit Succession, the story of the uber-rich, cutthroat Roys led by the snarly and — SPOILER — now-dead patriarch Logan. Costume designer Michelle Matland has created pricey yet stealth wardrobes unique to key characters as they have evolved, delighting fans who have followed her fashion breadcrumbs since the show’s 2018 premiere. “It shouldn’t have bling quality,” she says. “You’re always going to have your, I guess, Kardashians — you know, the people who wear things that draw attention. They may have the same amount of money, but different aspirations.” The stealth fashion world is perfectly tailored dark suits, often bespoke; bare baseball caps with perfectly rounded rims; and neutral power pieces worn by the only female Roy sibling, Shiv. No logos for the Roys and their jet set, though one important striver in their midst had to learn about stealth wealth the hard way. “It’s incredibly accurate. Every time you look at it, it tells you exactly how rich you are,” Shiv’s outsider husband, Tom Wambsgans, tells Logan of the Patek Philippe he presents the billionaire early in Succession. With a trademark mumble and nothing in the way of a thank you, Logan rebuffs, then gives away, the birthday gift emblazoned with the name of the company whose watches can sell for north of $300,000. Fast-forward to the latest season, at yet another Logan birthday bash. This time it’s Tom, still the groveler but a far savvier one, dissing wannabe Bridget’s display of luxury: a conspicuously huge $2,890 Burberry tote in a plaid familiar to fans of the company, sans logo. “She’s brought a ludicrously capacious bag,” Tom snarls at his underling, Greg. “What’s even in there, huh? Flat shoes for the subway? Her lunch pail? I mean, Greg, it’s monstrous. It’s gargantuan. You could take it camping. You could slide it across the floor after a bank job.” SPLASHY TO CLASSIC Paltrow, to be fair, has always been drawn to a sleek, minimalist luxury.

'Quiet luxury': No flash, no logos, but big-time style

<p>Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being.&nbsp;During puberty, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause, a woman's body goes through major changes, which&nbsp;can trigger mental conditions specific to women, including perinatal depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder and perimenopause-related depression.</p>

<p>It is important to first understand the warning signs of compromised mental health to be able to address it.<br />
Women experience a range of symptoms including persistent sadness, feeling of hopelessness, physically not caring for themselves, misuse of alcohol and/or drugs, dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits, appetite and/or weight changes, decreased energy or fatigue, excessive fear or worry, social withdrawal and suicidal thoughts. It is under such circumstances that there should be a planned effort to evaluate the cause and inculcate certain ways to improve mental well-being.</p>

<p>Strategies to help mental health vary widely, and what works for one will not necessarily appeal to another. Hence the focus should be on developing a unique strategy for every woman.&nbsp;</p>

Medical expert suggests 7 ways women can take care of their mental health | Exclusive

<p>Dozens of excited Haruki Murakami fans queued outside a bookstore in Tokyo on Thursday for the midnight release of the world-renowned author's first novel in six years.</p>

<p>Copies of <em>The City and Its Uncertain Walls</em>, so far only available in Japanese, were piled up on tables at the entrance to Kinokuniya store in the central Shinjuku district.</p>

<p>Shunsuke Mitsumoto was among the first to get his hands on the latest title by Murakami, who has a cult following for his surreal works peppered with references to pop culture.</p>

<p>"I want to read it as soon as I get home. As much as I want to savour each sentence, I will probably read the whole thing in one go," the 39-year-old told AFP.</p>

<p>"I'm excited to think that this book will take us to a new world again," added Mitsumoto, a member of a Murakami reading group.<br />
Murakami's previous novel, <em>Killing Commendatore</em>, was published in February 2017.</p>

<p>The bestselling author is known for his intricate tales of the absurdity and loneliness of modern life, which have been translated into about 50 languages.</p>

<p>In a message released by publisher Shinchosha ahead of the new book's release, Murakami said he had produced the novel in self-isolation during the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>The 74-year-old described his work process in a typically enigmatic style, saying it had been "just like a 'dream reader' reads an 'old dream' at a library."</p>

<p>Perennially tipped for a Nobel prize, Murakami -- whose most famous novels include <em>Norwegian Wood</em>&nbsp;and <em>Kafka on the Shore</em>&nbsp;-- is a reclusive figure.</p>

<p>At the early-hours event on Thursday, 28-year-old fan Chikako Muramatsu said the author was "loved by a wide range of people."</p>

<p>"Many fans seem to be in my parents' generation, but there are some big Haruki fans in my generation too," she said.</p>

<p>Yuji Katayama, 54, said he was a long-time fan.</p>

<p>"I feel like I am growing older with the characters in his books. I feel empathy for them," he said.</p>

Japanese fans snap up first Haruki Murakami novel in six years

<p>Although stress and depression are well-documented health concerns, one crucial aspect related to these has not received widespread scholarly attention, which is the effect of stress and depression on individuals’ eyesight.</p>

<p>In a 2018 study, Bernhard A. Sabel and others observed that while stress and depression can arise from prolonged vision impairment, due to increased secretion of the stress hormones, stress can cause imbalances in the sympathetic nervous system and vascular dysregulation, ultimately leading to vision impairment.</p>

<p>Thus, a vicious cycle exists between mental stress and vision impairment, one that warrants further examination, especially in the Indian context, given the rising stress levels and large-scale prevalence of vision problems among Indians.</p>

<p>Speaking exclusively to WION,&nbsp;Dr Jogin Desai, CEO &amp; Founder of&nbsp;Eyestem, shared that during periods of stress, the brain, in response, increases the circulation of stress hormones in the vascular system. By influencing the vascular tone in and around the optic nerve, stress hormones can impair vascular autoregulation.</p>

<p>Other factors such as genetic susceptibility and propensity to stress, sensitivity to stress, and a weaker stress resilience system may contribute to the pathology of the visual system. Certain studies attest to this relationship.</p>

Yoga, an ancient Indian practice, for stress relief and intense relaxation: Stress Awareness Month</a></p>

<p>For example, SA Lim and others found an association between vision impairment and psychosocial problems, reporting that 36% of 140 adults and children with vision impairment reported concomitant psychosocial problems.</p>

<p>ES Avetisov and others found that following the 1988 earthquake in Armenia, 30% of the 762 residents they surveyed developed pseudo-myopia. These residents had never complained of vision problems before. As an imbalanced autonomic nervous system function, parasympathetic activation as it appeared in this case, is believed to cause pseudo-myopia, and psychogenic stress was concluded as the cause.</p>

<p>Additionally, R Casten and others found that patients with age-related macular degeneration suffer from higher stress.</p>

<p>Other vision problems may follow from stress. To facilitate threat detection and preparedness, the brain releases greater amounts of adrenaline, which makes pupils dilate. Increased levels of the stress hormone adrenaline may result in dilated pupils for a prolonged duration and greater sensitivity to light.</p>

<p>Again for threat preparedness, stress leads to a narrowed field of vision and reduced blink rate, which can lead to tunnel vision and dry and strained eyes, respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Continued stress can trigger inflammation in people with autoimmune disorders such as lupus, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn’s disease and, thereby, cause vision problems.</p>

<p>Chronic stress strains the body and its systems, causing chronic and continued eye muscle tension, twitching, strain, photophobia,&nbsp;and dry or wet eyes, depending on the body’s response to stressful situations.</p>

<p>In conclusion, he says, "Interestingly, as indicated by Professor Sabel and others in their 2018 article,&nbsp;ancient Indian physician&nbsp;Sushruta was among the initial proponents of the relationship between mental health and vision. Of the 18 causes of vision loss he identified, six were related to mental distress: improper sleeping, continuous weeping, rage, sorrow, stress suffering, and suppression of tears. Indian Ayurveda’s age-old grasp of this relationship, therefore, should also prompt a reappraisal among Indian medics of the diagnosis and treatment of eye care. Along with pathophysiology, the focus should be placed on psychosomatic ophthalmology. This will, eventually, lead to improved and more holistic care."</p>

Can mental stress cause vision problems? Medical expert answers | Stress Awareness Month 2023

<p>How you&nbsp;type on computer keyboard and move&nbsp;your mouse are indicators of how stressed you are feeling in the office, states a new study. According to an ETH Zurich study, people who are stressed move the mouse pointer more often and not precisely. They also make more mistakes when typing.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Researchers at ETH observed 90 participants in the laboratory and performed office tasks that were as close to reality as possible for the study. The participants had to typically plan appointments or record and analyse data. They recorded the participants’ mouse and keyboard behaviour as well as their heart rates. Researchers also asked the participants several times during the experiment how stressed they felt.</p>

<p>The researchers are currently testing their model with data from Swiss employees who have agreed to have their mouse and keyboard behaviour as well as heart data recorded at their workplace using an app.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The same app also keeps an account of the subjective stress levels of employees. Results should be available by the end of the year, states the press release.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The study though admits that checking on workplace stress and making people agree to get monitored can be tricky. “The only way people will accept and use our technology is if we can guarantee that we will anonymise and protect their data,” says psychologist Jasmine Kerr, co-author of the report.</p>

<p>“We want to help workers to identify stress early, not create a monitoring tool for companies.”</p>

<p>It’s that time of the year when who’s who of the entertainment world starts announcing that they’re attending the upcoming Met Gala and we’re most excited for this furry celebrity getting her invite – late fashion icon and Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld’s feline friend, Choupette Lagerfeld. “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” is the theme of Met Gala 2023 and this year will honour the controversial German fashion icon’s work at luxury houses like Chanel, Fendi, Balmain, and others.</p>

<p>Since the Met Gala is honouring Karl Lagerfeld this year, what better way to do it than invite Lagerfeld’s cat daughter, Choupette? Karl died in 2029 and famously named the cat in his will. She has since been pampered and represented by an agent. It is reported that Lagerfeld’s former housekeeper takes care of the cat and her daily chores.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Karl" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="93fd1053-93ba-4a59-a5ce-9f933f330a49" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-04-12T152554.963.jpg" /></p>

<p>Karl Lagerfeld met with Choupette in 2012 when he was looking after her in the absence of his model friend Baptiste Giabiconi. Baptiste had to go on a vacation and wanted someone who could look after the cat when he wasn’t around. During this time, Karl got extremely friendly with Choupette and Giabiconi let Karl keep her. Soon Choupette became an internet sensation. She has Instagram accounts, an unofficial parody Twitter account, and millions of followers.</p>

<p>With blue eyes and pristine white fur, Choupette has for long enchanted her fans who envy her lifestyle. Always accompanying Karl on important trips, she would often be seen gorging on king crab and caviar. She was the subject of a book and of a Shu Uemura ad campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So now that we know that Choupette Lagerfeld is attending the Met Gala 2023, what waits to be seen is who will hold her on the red carpet.&nbsp;</p>

National Pet Day 2023: 7 pawsome reasons why pets rule as companions

<p><strong>Stress Awareness Month 2023: </strong>"Mental health is a complex issue that affects many people worldwide. While there are various treatment options available, recent studies have shown that pets can play a significant role in promoting positive mental health. The bond between humans and pets is unique and powerful, providing companionship, love, and a sense of purpose. The positive impact of pets on mental health is becoming increasingly recognised, with many individuals turning to pets for emotional support and stress relief. In this regard, pets are proving to be more than just loving companions; they are also valuable allies in the fight against mental health issues,"&nbsp;said Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr&nbsp;Shantanu Kalambi, Supertails.</p>

<p>Dr Kalambi further listed how spending time with your fur baby affects your mental health.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Reducing Stress:</strong> Interacting with pets can help reduce stress levels in humans. Pets can provide a sense of calm and relaxation. And, the very act of petting a furry animal helps release endorphins that are known to reduce stress.</p>

<p><strong>Decreasing Anxiety and Depression:</strong> Pets can help decrease feelings of anxiety and depression by providing companionship and unconditional love. Studies have shown that interacting with pets can increase levels of dopamine and serotonin, both of which are neurotransmitters that regulate mood and feelings of happiness.</p>

<p><strong>Increasing Socialisation:</strong> Owning a pet can also help increase socialization and reduce feelings of loneliness. Walking a dog or taking them to a pet-friendly park can help individuals meet other pet owners and start conversations.</p>

<p><strong>Boosting Mood and Self-Esteem: </strong>The presence of a pet can boost mood and increase self-esteem. Caring for a pet can provide a sense of purpose and responsibility, and the bond between pet and owner can create feelings of love and happiness.</p>

<p><strong>Improving Physical Health:</strong> Owning a pet can also have a positive impact on physical health, which can in turn benefit mental health. Walking a dog or playing with a pet can provide regular exercise, which can improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of obesity.</p>

<p><strong>Providing a Sense of Security:</strong> Pets can also provide a sense of security and comfort. The presence of a pet in the home can make individuals feel less vulnerable and provide a source of emotional support during stressful times. This is especially true for individuals with PTSD, who may benefit from the calming presence of a service animal.</p>

National Pet Day 2023: Best pet-friendly travel destinations you must visit with your furry friends

<p>More than 50 centuries ago, yoga's journey as an ancient Indian science of healing and exercise started somewhere in the Indus-Sarasvati civilisation in northern India. Today, it is one of the&nbsp;most popular holistic healthcare systems, not just in South Asia but across the world.&nbsp;Translated from Sanskrit, an ancient and classical language of India, the word "yoga"&nbsp;means "to yoke or join".&nbsp;It means the "union", the ultimate union between our consciousness and the higher consciousness, which some&nbsp;call God or&nbsp;divine. The word also refers to the union of body, mind and spirit, which we can achieve through various practices and postures.</p>

<p>Swami Sivananda once explained, "Yoga is the science that teaches us the method of uniting the individual soul with the Supreme Soul, of merging the individual will in the Cosmic Will." It is also the master key to unlocking the realms of peace and bliss.</p>

<h2>Why yoga for stress relief?</h2>

<p>Be it a seemingly never-ending headache, stiff spine or tightness in your shoulders, stress manifests itself in our bodies in multiple ways. And, many studies suggest that yoga might be the ultimate form of stress relief because of its breathing techniques and mindful movements. The practice helps you relax and calm your nerves even during the most anxiety-filled days, suggest experts. Wondering why? Well, according to studies, it&nbsp;triggers the body's parasympathetic nervous system, which when activated, signals the body and mind to relax.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yoga also decreases the levels of cortisol, or the stress hormone, in our body. It helps with insomnia, and improves digestion, both&nbsp;of which are impacted by stress. It also eases depression, anxiety, and mood swings by restoring dopamine and serotonin in the brain.</p>

<p>Specific yogic breathing techniques like Ujjayi breath and Brahmari breath help tone&nbsp;the vagus nerve, which is otherwise known as the well-being nerve, and according to research, allows people to easily shift from a stressed to a relaxed state.</p>

<p>While the countless other benefits of yoga are enough to convince people to try out the ancient practice, it is mostly popular because of its stress-relieving effects on the mind and body. It teaches a person to manage daily stress and better tackle emotional situations as they arise.</p>

<p>The deep breathing practices&nbsp;in yoga help a person calm his mind. It also helps lower blood pressure, decrease heart rate, and improve focus on thoughts and attention. The gentle asanas or postures allow you to stretch and strengthen your muscles, ease pain, and release tension. Keep scrolling to start your yoga journey!</p>

<h2>Yoga poses for stress relief and relaxation</h2>

<p>Ready to head to your mat for a stress-busting session? First, start by personalising your yoga corner. Add your favourite flowers to the room decor or light your favourite candles, do what appeals the most to you.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To prep for a serene at-home practice, engage in a brief acupressure practice. Take some yoga blocks and do a little acupressure at the occipital ridge of your skull as two trigger points from traditional Chinese medicine, the Gates of Consciousness&nbsp;and Heavenly Pillar, are located there.</p>

<p>"This will help release tense necks and relieve painful headaches," Jang, who received acupressure training at the McKinnon Therapy School, told Yoga Journal.</p>

<p>Simply, place one yoga block on the floor and lean the second block horizontally against the first. Now, lie down on the blocks and rest your neck on the angled block. Stretch your arms outwards and relax for a few minutes before rolling to your side to return to sitting.&nbsp;You can also apply a little pressure on the hall of impression point, which lies between your eyebrows.</p>

<p>Now, you can head to the actual yoga session. Start by warming up your body with a Surya Namaskar aka Sun Salutation.&nbsp;Next, head to pranayama practices aka breathing practices. Initially one should start with eleven cycles of breathing, and it can be increased to one hundred and twenty-one rounds.</p>

Explained! Yoga, an ancient Indian practice, for stress relief and intense relaxation: Stress Awareness Month

<p>Ever noticed how fingertips and toes shrivel when they’re soaked for more than a few minutes in water? Do you wonder why that happens? Is it part of humans’ evolutionary past and can it reveal about our health?&nbsp;</p>

<p>It’s interesting to note that when we are under water, none of the body parts shrivel like that. Not the hands, legs or even face but just fingers and toes. Scientists have found out that it takes around 3.5 minutes in warm water - 40C for your fingertips to start wrinkling. In cooler temperatures like 20C, it can take up to 10 minutes for the wrinkling to begin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier, fingertip wrinkling was thought to be a passive response where the upper layers of the skin swelled as water entered the cells via a process called osmosis. In patients with injuries that had severed the median nerve, doctors studied that their fingers did not wrinkle. It’s the main nerves that run down the arm to the hand. The median nerve helps to control so-called sympathetic activities such as sweating and the constriction of blood vessels. It was thus found that the water-inducing wrinkling of fingertips was in fact controlled by the nervous system.</p>

<p>Doctors in the 1970s presented more evidence for this as they proposed using the immersion of the hands in water as a test of nerve damage. Later in 2003, neurologists at the National University Hospital in Singapore found that when the skin on fingertips began to wrinkle, there was a drop in blood flow in the fingers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When our hands are immersed in water, the sweat ducts in our fingers open up to allow water in, which leads to an imbalance in the salts in our skin. This change in the salt balance triggers the firing of nerve fibres in the fingers, leading to the blood vessels around the sweat ducts to constrict. This leads to loss of volume in the fingertip, which pulls the overlying skin downwards and what we see in wrinkles then. Interestingly, the pattern of the wrinkles depends on the way the outermost layer of skin is anchored to the layers beneath it.</p>

Famous places you must visit in Manipur, Femina Miss India 2023 hosting state

<p>Not always can one visit an expert to get basic jewellery cleaned and that is exactly why we have come up with a list of things you can do to take care of it naturally, at home, DIY style. A few basic things you will have to note before you make a cleaning mix for your jewellery is to identify the metal or material used to make that sparkling ring finger or elegant bracelet that you can’t stop wearing on most days.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>How to Start</strong></p>

<p>If you want your jewellery to last for a long time and not dull out with wear and tear, avoid wearing them while indulging in any activity that involves high-intensity action and attracts moisture – cleaning, swimming, exercise, and sleeping. If you know you will be out in the sun for too long, try and keep the jewellery in a safe space away from extreme heat. Also, when packing the jewellery, ensure that it doesn’t rub against anything. Always store your jewellery in separate boxes, or cotton folds and do not pack a lot of jewellery in one place. A lot of rubbing can also wear down your jewellery leading it to lose its shine.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Store jewellery" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7c5b0db3-2a4c-420b-9b88-cacdf87cf980" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-04-10T152026.721.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>Cleaning Basics</strong></p>

<p>Always keep a new toothbrush handy and order some mild detergent that you can use. Also, a fresh piece of cloth that you keep only for cleaning and polishing jewellery. When washing rings or bracelets, the brush comes in handy in washing off the gunk and dirt that collects over time as you go about your daily chores while wearing jewellery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When cleaning fine chains, it’s always advisable to keep the clasp open and hold the chain to&nbsp;the links and then run it slowly through a folded polishing cloth. For thicker chains, you can use a toothbrush and a polishing cloth, but keep the clasp closed to avoid tangling the links.</p>

<p><img alt="Gold" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0bb25b5d-a303-4883-a769-57f2cf2298f5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-04-10T151607.277.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>Know Your Jewellery</strong></p>

<p>It’s important to know what your jewellery is made of – is it gold, platinum or silver? Does it have precious stones or semi-precious stones encrusted? Does it have pearls or mixed base metal? The answers to these questions will determine how you clean your jewellery. Essentially, if the jewellery has gemstones like pearls, opals, or emeralds – then it requires a gentle hand to clean it. Meanwhile, diamonds and sapphires are pretty tough and can withstand more intense cleaning and pressure application.&nbsp;</p>

If the base is silver, since it tarnishes easily, regular upkeep is required. If it's gold, you should avoid cleaning it with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Not always can one visit an expert to get basic jewellery cleaned and that is exactly why we have come up with a list of things you can do to take care of it naturally, at home, DIY style.

Not always can one visit an expert to get basic jewellery cleaned and that is exactly why we have come up with a list of things you can do to take care of it naturally, at home, DIY style. A few basic things you will have to note before you make a cleaning mix for your jewellery is to identify the metal or material used to make that sparkling ring finger or elegant bracelet that you can’t stop wearing on most days. How to Start If you want your jewellery to last for a long time and not dull out with wear and tear, avoid wearing them while indulging in any activity that involves high-intensity action and attracts moisture – cleaning, swimming, exercise, and sleeping. If you know you will be out in the sun for too long, try and keep the jewellery in a safe space away from extreme heat. Also, when packing the jewellery, ensure that it doesn’t rub against anything. Always store your jewellery in separate boxes, or cotton folds and do not pack a lot of jewellery in one place. A lot of rubbing can also wear down your jewellery leading it to lose its shine. Cleaning Basics Always keep a new toothbrush handy and order some mild detergent that you can use. Also, a fresh piece of cloth that you keep only for cleaning and polishing jewellery. When washing rings or bracelets, the brush comes in handy in washing off the gunk and dirt that collects over time as you go about your daily chores while wearing jewellery. When cleaning fine chains, it’s always advisable to keep the clasp open and hold the chain to the links and then run it slowly through a folded polishing cloth. For thicker chains, you can use a toothbrush and a polishing cloth, but keep the clasp closed to avoid tangling the links. Know Your Jewellery It’s important to know what your jewellery is made of – is it gold, platinum or silver? Does it have precious stones or semi-precious stones encrusted? Does it have pearls or mixed base metal? The answers to these questions will determine how you clean your jewellery. Essentially, if the jewellery has gemstones like pearls, opals, or emeralds – then it requires a gentle hand to clean it. Meanwhile, diamonds and sapphires are pretty tough and can withstand more intense cleaning and pressure application. If the base is silver, since it tarnishes easily, regular upkeep is required. If it's gold, you should avoid cleaning it with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. If your gold jewellery is plated, it won’t be as resilient as solid gold. Then if it's platinum, you have fewer worries on your back as it’s heavier than both silver and gold.

Everything you need to know about keeping your jewellery shiny bright with DIY tips

<p>After spending months in blankets and quilts, the warmth of sunshine certainly feels good on the skin. But we must not forget that this lawless ball of fire can do some serious damage to our dermis, especially during peak summer months. Despite being diligent about always applying sunscreen or only standing in shady spots, incremental sun exposure can cause damage to the skin and expedite signs of ageing. To help you tackle the endless skin concerns heatwaves bring, we spoke to&nbsp;a leading cosmetic doctor and he happily shared some tips and hacks with us.</p>

<p>In an exclusive conversation with WION, Dr Umed Shekhawat, MBBS, FRACGP, revealed his skincare secret and said, "Besides good skin maintenance, one thing I have incorporated into my lifestyle every morning is lemon or lime drink, then 30 minutes later, a glass of celery juice and again 30 minutes post that a shake with blueberries, nuts, chia seed, coconut water and Zinzino Omega 3 oil. Looking after your skin in summer or any other season means not just looking after it from the outside but also from the inside. Gut health is most important for the skin to look and feel healthy."</p>

<p>According to the doctor, your skincare routine should include the following:</p>

<p>1. Foaming cleanser<br />
2. Vitamin C serum<br />
3. Vitamin B serum<br />
4. Light moisturiser<br />
5. Eye cream<br />
6. Sunscreen with SPF 50+ or even zinc if a person is spending more time outside&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dr Shekhawat added, "If you are dealing with hyper-pigmentation,&nbsp;make sure that your creams and serums contain some of the following ingredients - Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid or Arbutin."</p>

<p>"Other very useful products that will be keeping your skin clean and hydrated are a good gentle exfoliant and a hydrating mask. The exfoliant must not be too harsh for the skin as it can damage the skin's acid mantle. Do it once a week for best results," the skin specialist continued.&nbsp;</p>

<p>You can also consider professional treatments if your pocket allows it. A monthly medical-grade facial with a good peel followed by LED treatment is what will keep your skin hydrated, clean, rejuvenated, and plump.&nbsp;</p>

Doctor suggests tips to protect skin from heatwaves in summer | Exclusive

<p>Planning a kid-friendly itinerary, especially for international travel might seem scary and daunting at first, but it's a lot of fun once you take the first step towards it. While you can travel to any country with your kids, there are some countries that are especially kid-friendly due to the amenities they offer. Amenities such as kids' clubs, kid-friendly attractions, a wide variety of food for fussy eaters, and stroller-friendly walkways are some of the things which make a country seem more attractive for kids than others.</p>

<p>This summer vacation, surprise your kids with an international trip to these five countries and see their happiness radiate!</p>

<p><strong>Singapore</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>With loads of fun activities and vibrant places to visit, Singapore is an ideal travel destination for kids.

<p><strong>Lapland</strong></p>

<p>Located in Finland, it is also known as the land of Magical Natural Phenomena, or Santa Claus's hometown (yes, you heard us right!). It looks literally like a land out of a fairy tale! Kids can meet the 'real' Santa Claus, play in snow-laden forests, and even feed baby reindeer (baby Rudolph maybe?). It also offers plenty of options for parents to enjoy - watch the Northern Lights, Midnight Sun, and stay in an igloo among others.</p>

<p><strong>Bali</strong></p>

<p>One of the most popular tourist destinations, Bali is famous for its beaches, temples, and the wide variety of sports it offers. To have a relaxing vacation, choose a hotel with kids' clubs and a wide range of food options. Take your kids to the Bali Zoo, Waterbom Waterpark, and Ubud Monkey Forest, and soak in the flora and fauna.</p>

<p><strong>Australia</strong></p>

<p>Australia's diverse cities and natural landscapes have something for everyone - from young adventurers and teen beach-seekers to culture-craving grown-ups and foodies of all ages. Visit the Grampians if you want a taste of adventure, roam around Sydney and go to National Dinosaur Museum, explore the Gold Coast, go snorkelling at The Great Barrier Reef, and see kangaroos and koala bears.</p>

<p><strong>Europe</strong></p>

<p>Choosing the proper destination is key to having a fun time in Europe. You can go to Barcelona, Lisbon, Copenhagen, and Reykjavik and see the Lisbon Oceanarium, The Blue Planet, and Tivoli Gardens Amusement Park among others.</p>

<p><strong>Keep this checklist handy while planning your international trip</strong></p>

<p><strong>Research, research, and research:</strong> It is important to plan everything to avoid last-minute hiccups, including the weather of the country you want to visit, the political climate, attractions, adventure activities, entry fees to the transport cost, the accommodation the eateries, the laws to the safety regulations, and the culture to the locals.</p>

<p><strong>Keep your travel-related documents in one place:</strong> These include a passport, visa, international driving license, travel maps, flight tickets, travel insurance, and medical prescriptions, if any.</p>

<p><strong>Check-in with the Indian Embassy and register yourself:</strong> To be safe in a foreign land while far from home should be one of the most important things on your checklist.

5 kid-friendly international vacation spots to visit this summer

<p>For hundreds of years, the British royal family's flaunting of the Kohinoor diamond has been a bone of contention between the UK and India. The Kohinoor, which is now part of the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, is displayed at the Tower Of London in a ticketed arena. While the Kohinoor remains a prized possession of the British royal family, it has become an emblem of Britain’s tortured relationship with its imperial history.<br />
<br />
A report in The Guardian details the number of jewels that the royal family proudly flaunts as their own- have imperial origins- highlighting the British rule in India. Many of the jewels were taken as trophies of conquest by the British before it was handed over to Queen Victoria including the Kohinoor which belong to Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab.<br />
<br />
According to the Guardian report, Queen Mary, grandmother of &nbsp;Elizabeth II had commissioned to investigate the imperial origins of her jewels. The 46-page file in the archives of the India Office, the government department that was responsible for Britain’s rule over the Indian subcontinent has detailed how priceless pieces were extracted from India. Most of these items are now owned by the monarch as property of the British crown. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kohinoor is not the only Indian jewel that is now a part of the royal family jewels. There is a long gold girdle inlaid with 19 large emeralds once used by Indian Maharaja Ranjit Singh to decorate his horses. It is now a part of King Charles's personal collection.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A journal records a tour in 1837 of the Punjab area in north India by the society diarist Fanny Eden and her brother George, the governor-general of the British Raj at the time. They visited Ranjit Singh, the maharajah in Lahore, who had signed a “treaty of friendship” with the British six years earlier.<br />
<br />
The journal detailed that while half-blind Singh wore few pieces of jewellery, his entourage was laden with precious jewels. He had so much that he put his finest jewellery on his horses- on their harnesses.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A few years after Ranjit Singh's demise, his youngest son and heir, Duleep, was forced to sign over Punjab to the conquering forces of the British East India Company. As part of the conquest, the company not only plundered the horses' emeralds but also the coveted Kohinoor diamond.<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, Buckingham Palace announced that Camilla, the Queen Consort would not be flaunting the Kohinoor at Charles' coronation as it would elicit “painful memories of the colonial past."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Another prominent Indian piece that now is part of the royal's personal collection is a pearl necklace consisting of 224 large pearls. The late Queen Elizabeth II has been pictured wearing the necklace in public on two occasions.<br />
While the original owner of the necklace is not documented, it is speculated by the experts that it belongs to Maharaj Rajit Singh.<br />
<br />
The family also now possesses a short necklace of four very large spinel rubies, the largest of which is a 325.5-carat spinel which is known as Timur ruby.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Its famous name is erroneous: research by the academic Susan Stronge in 1996 concluded it was probably never owned by Timur.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Further research revealed that it passed hands between the kings of Persia and Mughal emperors until Queen Victoria was given it from India.<br />
<br />
Indian politician Shashi Tharoor told The Guardian, &nbsp;“We have finally entered an era where colonial loot and pillage is being recognised for what it really was, rather than being dressed up as the incidental spoils of some noble ‘civilising mission’.</p>

<p>“As we are seeing increasingly, the return of stolen property is always a good thing. Generations to come will wonder why it took civilised nations so long to do the right thing.”</p>

Kohinoor to emerald studded horse harness: The troubled colonial history of British royal jewels

<p>With a new product and skincare trend taking over our feeds almost every day, it's hard to narrow down a skincare routine that suits our skin type and concern. All of us are tempted to try that new glitter mask or gadget that promises more than it delivers. But, let's just accept the fact that it's hard to follow a 10 or sometimes even 15-step skincare regime that our favourite beauty influencer advocates for. When we asked an expert what a working women's skincare routine should look like, he said, "Keep it simple and listen to your skin."</p>

<p>CTM - Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising - is the easiest skincare regime one can follow. But you can always jazz it up with a serum or an eye cream. Sunscreen, however, is a complete necessity.</p>

<p>In an exclusive conversation with WION, Dr Umed Shekhawat, MBBS, FRACGP, shared the following:</p>

<h2><strong>Step-by-step skincare guide for working women</strong></h2>

<p><strong>Step 1 Cleanser</strong></p>

<p>Every morning after waking up and at night before going to bed, splash your face with lukewarm water (never hot) and cleanse with milk or foaming cleanser depending on your skin type and concern.</p>

<p>Also read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-_-things-you-must-do-during-stress-awareness-month-578865">3 things you must do during Stress Awareness Month</a></p>

<p><strong>Step 2 Toner</strong></p>

<p>Toners act as a delivery system for antioxidants. Every toner targets a different&nbsp;issue. You just need to pick the one that best suits your skin type and concern. If you have acne, get a salicylic acid toner. If you have dry skin, pick a hydrating toner.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Step 3 Serum</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Serums are super concentrated and they address specific skin concerns. They represent a very important part of any skincare routine and can vary according to daytime or nighttime routines. Hyaluronic acid serums, Vitamin&nbsp;C serums, and Niacinamide serums are some of the top picks. Skip this step if you are short on time or don't have major skin concerns.</p>

<p><strong>Step 4 Eye cream</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Eye cream is a necessary step in skincare routines that should be introduced in your 20s. It helps deal with dark circles, fine lines, eye bags and wrinkles. But, keep this step for your bedtime rituals! Place the eye cream on your bedside table and just before shutting your eyes, use the elixir so that it can do its magic while you snooze.</p>

<p><strong>Step 5 Moisturiser</strong></p>

<p>Moisturiser is a must for all skin types, even oily. It gives that extra hydration that our skin&nbsp;needs after harsh chemicals, weather and sun play havoc on our skin. During the day, use a lightweight gel or water-based moisturiser that goes well with makeup too.</p>

<p><strong>Step 6 Sunscreen</strong></p>

<p>Sunscreen should be the last step in your daytime skincare routine. Pick a product that doesn't leave a white cast&nbsp;and has a minimum of 50 SPF.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"You can’t eat democracy. Human rights may sustain the spirit but not the body.”</p>

<p>This quote, from a speech by Zambian president Hakainde Hichilema at a US-sponsored Summit of Democracy, may be one of the most important keys to understanding why most of the world’s population live in countries whose leaders do not share Western values – and why a new world order now in the making might be dominated by China.</p>

<p>To avoid being branded as a US-centric event, the Summit of Democracy was co-hosted by Costa Rica, the Netherlands, South Korea and Zambia, whose leader’s speech was broadcast from Lusaka. The mostly virtual conference involved 120 countries and was part of an intense flurry of diplomatic activity in March and early April.</p>

<p>The one that made most headlines around the world was a three-day state visit to Moscow by Chinese President Xi Jinping just a few days after the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes arising from Russia’s war on Ukraine.</p>

<p>Speculation that the visit would pave the way for a peaceful settlement of the conflict proved groundless. While China repeatedly abstained from United Nations votes condemning the Russian assault on Ukraine, the visit left no doubt that China’s need for a steady supply of Russian oil overrode concerns over violations of the UN&nbsp;charter, to which China subscribes.</p>

<p>To hear US&nbsp;intelligence analysts tell it, China is watching the war on Ukraine closely because it could provide lessons for a Chinese attack on Taiwan, which Beijing considers part of greater China.</p>

<p>Much to the anger of the Chinese government, Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, met the speaker of the US&nbsp;House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, in his home state of California in what Washington described as a transit stopover, not an official visit. McCarthy emphasized the need for the US&nbsp;to continue arms sales to Taiwan and strengthen economic cooperation.</p>

<p>Tsai-Ing-wen’s California stopover came at the tail end of a visit to Central America where her country suffered a painful defection a few days before her arrival: Honduras broke relations with Taiwan and officially established diplomatic ties with China.</p>

<p>It was an act of what some in the foreign policy community call checkbook diplomacy – China promised to finance a hydroelectric dam.</p>

<p>The Honduran defection left Taiwan with just 13 countries with which it has diplomatic ties. Since 2017, the Dominican Republic, Panama, El Salvador and Nicaragua all ditched Taiwan in favour of China.</p>

<p>Most of Latin America having formal ties with China allows it to play a prominent role in a region once described as “America’s backyard.” Between 2005 and 2020, China has invested more than $130 billion in Latin America, according to the United States Institute of Peace which says China-Latin America trade has risen so steadily that it is expected to reach more than $700 billion in the next ten years.</p>

<p>As to “you can’t eat democracy” – Chinese aid or loans are not tied to lectures on the observation of human rights and the importance of democratic governance.</p>

<p>That is an attitude appreciated in Africa, where China has long roots and U.S. companies have shied away from investing, complaining about poor infrastructure and corruption. China is less concerned and as a consequence, it has become Africa’s largest two-way trading partner, with $254 billion of business by 2021, according to statistics from the U.S. Institute for Peace.</p>

<p>“We switched from being the No. 1 trade partner or the No. 1 investment partner in two dozen countries, to China being the No.1 trade and investment partner,” Senator Chris Coons, a Delaware Democrat who has worked on African issues in Congress, told reporters accompanying Harris. “Our challenge for this decade is to address that.”</p>

<p>It is as big a challenge as to expand American influence in Latin America.</p>

<p>“Most African countries are rightly unapologetic about their close ties to China,” Yemi Osinbajo, vice president of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, said in a tweet during an African tour by U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. “China shows up where and when the West will not and/or are reluctant.”</p>

<p>Harris, who visited Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia, was the latest and most senior of 18 American officials to visit Africa this year. Treasure Secretary Janet Yellen came in January and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited Ethiopia and Nigeria in February.</p>

<p>The projects the vice president announced included about $1 billion of new programmes and investments empowering African businesswomen, $100 million for security assistance in West Africa and $500 million to facilitate trade with Tanzania.</p>

<p>President Joe Biden, who hosted a summit for African leaders in December, has promised to commit $55 billion to the African continent in the next few years but details have yet to be specified. African leaders tend to be wary of such commitments because it is never certain whether another administration will stick to them.</p>

<p>Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, did not endear himself to Africans by describing their continent as a place of “shithole countries.”</p>

<p>To tighten relations with African countries, the U.S. not only has to catch up with China’s advantage on projects already completed or in the works but also with Russian-African relations that are deep and go back to the Cold War, when the Soviet Union sided with African liberation movements.</p>

<p>Unlike the US, the Soviet Union provided both rhetorical and material support, including weapons, for groups fighting for an end to South Africa’s racist apartheid system.</p>

<p>That explains why of the 35 countries that abstained from last year’s U.N. General Assembly vote condemning the Russian assault on Ukraine, 17 were African. They included South Africa, Angola and Algeria.</p>

<p>While in the West, the outcome of the vote – 141 in favour – was hailed as evidence of overwhelming support for Western democratic values; it is worth noting that more than two-thirds of humankind live in countries governed by the fence-sitting abstainers. They include&nbsp;the world’s most populous countries, China and India.</p>

<p>As a result of the war on Ukraine, securing supply chains for critical minerals and materials such as battery metals which Africa has&nbsp;in abundance, has become ever more important. Brace yourself for fierce competition and assiduous courting.</p>

Stress Awareness Month 2023: Doctor suggests 9 lifestyle changes to lower stress hormones | Exclusive

<p>We could go on and on about the importance of daily exercise in one’s life, but now studies suggest that as few as 11 minutes a day can reduce the risk of early death. A small tweak in the schedule can help prevent heart disease, stroke and some types of cancers even. This&nbsp;is in comparison to a person who leads a sedentary lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a study published last month in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the impact of exercise on one’s health was studied. It found that if people exercised for 75 minutes per week, or 11 minutes per day, they could live longer and healthier. The results were of course better for those who can sneak in 150 minutes weekly, or 30 minutes daily, five times a week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the report, close to 16 per cent&nbsp;of all premature deaths could be avoided if people just got up and did some exercises. In a press release, study co-author Soren Brage, PhD, &nbsp;said, “If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news. Doing some physical activity is better than doing none.”</p>

<p>The study included data from over 30 million participants.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the end of it, higher activity levels were associated with lower mortality risks, the study found. The researchers also found that exercise had a bigger impact on certain types of cancers—exercise reduced the risk of head and neck, myeloid leukaemia, myeloma, and gastric cardia cancers more so than it did for lung, liver, endometrial, colon, and breast cancers.</p>

<p>As for heart disease and stroke risk specifically, the&nbsp;study suggests that more frequent exercise puts the cardiovascular system to use, which keeps blood vessels in the practice of contracting and relaxing. This keeps blood pressure and cardiovascular issues in check.</p>
