With its range, the system significantly…
जब माता-पिता उम्र के असर से जूझने लगे—धीमी चाल, कमज़ोर जोड़ और घटती आत्मनिर्भरता—तो बेटे ने ठान लिया कि उन्हें फिर से मज़बूत बनाना है। समाधान था असामान्य: वज़न उठाना यानी स्ट्रेंथ ट्रेनिंग। लंबे समय तक यह धारणा रही कि वज़न उठाना सिर्फ़ युवाओं या खिलाड़ियों के लिए है। बुज़ुर्गों को बस टहलने या योग तक सीमित रहने की सलाह दी जाती थी। लेकिन इस परिवार की कहानी इस सोच को बदल रही है। कमज़ोरी का मिथक टूटा शुरुआत में माता-पिता डरे हुए थे। उन्हें चोट लगने और थकान बढ़ने का डर था। लेकिन उम्र और क्षमतानुसार तैयार किए गए…
चोट लगने या पुरानी अकड़न से जूझते वक्त अक्सर लोग बर्फ की थैली या गर्म पट्टी की ओर हाथ बढ़ाते हैं। लेकिन सही समय पर गलत उपाय अपनाना राहत देने के बजाय नुकसान भी पहुँचा सकता है। विशेषज्ञ बताते हैं कि दर्द और सूजन में कब ठंडी सिकाई फायदेमंद है और कब गर्माहट शरीर को बेहतर राहत देती है। ठंडी सिकाई कब करें क्रायोथेरेपी यानी ठंडी सिकाई, अचानक लगी चोट जैसे मोच, खिंचाव या चोटिल हिस्से में सबसे कारगर मानी जाती है। बर्फ से खून की नसें सिकुड़ जाती हैं, जिससे सूजन कम होती है और तेज दर्द सुन्न पड़ने…
When Sakshi Bhatia and Arpit Maheshwari left their high-paying jobs in the United States, they walked away not just from careers but from an entire way of life. Both alumni of the Indian Institutes of Technology, the couple chose to settle in rural Madhya Pradesh and build a life anchored in permaculture, self-sufficiency and simplicity. Their farm, Jeevantika, now spans 1.5 acres and produces nearly 85 percent of what they eat. Oil is the only staple they still buy, a gap they plan to close once they acquire processing equipment. A Break from Consumerism The couple’s transformation began during a…
Neuroscientists have long considered the hippocampus — a seahorse-shaped structure deep within the brain — as the epicenter of memory and learning. Now, new insights suggest that this vital region is more adaptable than once believed. A handful of simple lifestyle adjustments, adopted consistently, may begin to strengthen the hippocampus in as little as 30 days. Diet and the Brain Researchers point to the Mediterranean style of eating — vegetables, fruits, whole grains, olive oil, nuts and fish — as the single most effective dietary shift for brain resilience. Rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, such meals have been…
In the 1930s, when photography in India was largely confined to formal portraits and studio images, two young women from Kolkata were quietly redefining the art. Debalina Mazumder (1919–2012) and Manobina Roy (1919–2001), identical twin sisters, began experimenting with cameras as teenagers, capturing everyday life with an intimacy and spontaneity that would later be recognized as pioneering candid photography. A new exhibition, “Twin Sisters with Cameras,” curated by Sabeena Gadihoke, Mallika Leuzinger and Tapati Guha-Thakurta, revisits their photographic lives, tracing a journey that stretched from 1930s Ramnagar near Varanasi to the vibrant social worlds of Calcutta and Bombay, and eventually…
