Cold weather can significantly impact prenatal nutrition and vitamin D levels, making it essential for pregnant women to take extra precautions. Limited sun exposure during winter reduces the body’s ability to naturally produce vitamin D, which is crucial for fetal bone development and immune health. Deficiency can lead to weaker bones, fatigue, and increased pregnancy […]
Regular consumption of garam chai (hot tea) and samosas may increase the risk of cancer due to multiple factors. Drinking extremely hot tea can cause chronic irritation in the esophagus, potentially leading to esophageal cancer over time. Studies have linked scalding beverages to tissue damage, which may increase cancer susceptibility. Meanwhile, samosas are often deep-fried […]
Following a keto diet for two weeks may impact gut health, particularly for those prone to digestive issues. The diet’s low fiber intake and high-fat content can alter gut microbiota, potentially leading to small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or infections.
