Be Mindful of Your Health and Mind During Durga Puja: A Path to Well-Being

For you festive divas! Want your Health & Skin to dazzle this Puja? Here are some tips for Radiant, Show-Stopping Skin & Lifestyle – Stated by Dr. Payel Kumar Roy, Chief Clinical Dietician & Critical Care Nutritionist of Techno India Dama Multispeciality Hospital.

This year Durga Puja will be different in every aspect. We’ll give more focus on health & Mind rather than the looks. We need to understand first that In India, no festival, no matter how small or big, is incomplete without at least some feasting & when it comes to the biggest festival in the country no one is bothered actually for the inner health. Just like an example, when maximum will be surrounded by tantalising sights of big plates of biryani being served hot, sizzling platters of kebabs, the beguiling sight of chicken chowmein all around them some Healthy & Tasty diet foods definitely will give a tough challenge to those who are more focused on their diet.

We all desire healthy, radiant and glowing skin, and the quest for that coveted glow often leads us down numerous beauty aisles searching for miracle products.

But we need to understand first that what one put, can have a great impact on their skin but our main target is our overall physiological health & function. For example, eating a well-nourished vitamin & mineral enriched diet with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables will manifest completely differently than a diet rich in fried foods.

The vital factors that influence the interplay between diet and skin health are:

  1. Nutrient Supply – The skin needs a steady supply of nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats obtained from the consumed foods.
  2. Collagen and Elasticity – A diet lacking collagen-boosting nutrients like vitamin C, amino acids, and antioxidants can reduce collagen production, resulting in sagging and wrinkles.
  3. Hydration – Liberal amount of Fluid is important. Consuming water-rich foods for glowing skin, such as fruits and vegetables, helps to maintain proper skin hydration, and the lack of which can lead to tired and less radiant-looking skin.
  4. Gut-Skin Connection – An unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to imbalances in the body, potentially exacerbating skin issues like acne and eczema.
  5. Focus on Whole Foods: One should incorporate more whole and unprocessed foods into the diet such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, etc.
  6. When curating a diet plan for glowing skin, one needs to incorporate foods that are rich in a myriad of nutrients, including Vitamins A and C, and omega-3 fatty acids.
  7. Limit Processed Foods & Sugar: Processed foods and sugary drinks are often loaded with unhealthy fats, refined carbohydrates, and added sugars. These can contribute to inflammation and breakouts.
  8. Get Quality Sleep- Lack of good-quality sleep through the night is another common reason behind poor skin health.
  9. Sun protection – Cosmetic Care

Sun exposure is a leading reason behind wrinkles and dark spots. Even on cloudy days, one must apply sunscreen to protect the skin against UV damage. Look for a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

So, Eat Healthy & Stay Healthy

Durga Puja is just around the corner, bringing with it days filled with fun, festivities and long hours outdoors. While we all focus on looking our best, one important aspect of our health often goes unnoticed: our eyes.

Dr. Basupurna Majumdar, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Disha Eye Hospitals highlights how the protection and proper eye hygiene can help one keep away from eye problems. With long hours outdoors, exposure to dust, pollution and harsh sunlight, it is easy for our eyes to become irritated. A few simple precautions can go a long way in keeping your eyes healthy.

Here are some practical tips to protect your eyes and avoid discomfort during this festive season:

  • Choose sunglasses with UV protection – Spending hours outdoors under the sun can strain your eyes. Make sure to wear sunglasses with proper UV protection to safeguard your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays, reducing the risk of eye allergies and long term damage.
  • Avoid touching your eyes – It is inevitable that your hands will come in contact with surfaces and other people while you are out pandal hopping. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes with unclean hands, as they can introduce dirt, bacteria or allergens, leading to infections.
  • Do not splash water directly into your eyes – While it may feel refreshing, splashing water into your eyes can strip away the protective tear film that shields your eyes from irritants. Only limit washing your eyes in instances where they feel particularly dry or if dust and debris has entered them.
  • Clean your face and hands after being outdoors – After being outdoors, wash your face and hands thoroughly to remove dust, dirt or pollutants. This simple step can prevent irritation or allergic reactions.
  • Avoid sharing personal items – Sharing personal items like towels, handkerchiefs, or toiletries may seem harmless, but it can transfer bacteria and lead to eye infections. Be mindful and keep your personal items to yourself during these festivities.
  • Do not share eye makeup – Never share eye cosmetics, such as mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow, as this increases the risk of transmitting bacteria, which can cause eye infections
  • Special care for contact lens users – If you use contact lenses, ensure you follow proper hygiene. Avoid wearing them for more than 16 hours, and keep in mind to take them off before sleeping, as this can lead to serious eye infections or corneal damage.
  • Go light with makeup during the day – For day time activities, go minimal with your makeup and make sure it does not flake into your eyes. It is advised to use waterproof mascara as melted mascara can be harmful for the eyes.
  • Apply eyeliner carefully – Be careful while applying eyeliner to ensure that it does not touch your eyes directly
  • Always remove makeup before sleeping – No matter how late it is, always remove your eye makeup before bed to avoid irritation or infection

By following these simple tips, you can keep your eyes healthy and fully enjoy the spirit of Durga Puja.

Bergner India Launches ‘The Indian Cooking Club’ Challenge and Debuts Podcast with Michelin-Star Chef Vikas Khanna

Mumbai, 20 September 2024 — Bergner India, renowned for its innovative cookware, has introduced two exciting initiatives: The Indian Cooking Club challenge and the Bergcast podcast series. Both aim to promote healthier cooking while celebrating the rich traditions of Indian cuisine.

 The Indian Cooking Club Challenge
Bergner India invites home chefs, food lovers, and culinary enthusiasts to participate in The Indian Cooking Club challenge, celebrating the rich heritage of Indian cooking. Participants are encouraged to prepare a beloved traditional Indian dish, capture it on photo or video, and share it on Instagram. This initiative aims to create a platform where the beauty and depth of Indian cuisine are celebrated, from regional specialities to forgotten recipes passed down through generations.

 Since its launch, the challenge has gained widespread popularity, with a growing community of participants, including influencers and food bloggers, sharing their culinary creations. The response has been overwhelming, as people reconnect with their roots while embracing healthier, modern cooking practices. This collective effort has brought the vibrancy of Indian cooking to a global audience, celebrating both tradition and innovation.

Unlocking the Financial Power of Rent: RentenPe Introduces Groundbreaking Rent Credit Score

Unlocking the Financial Power of Rent: RentenPe Introduces Groundbreaking Rent Credit Score

Mumbai, September 2024 – In a pioneering step set to transform India’s rental landscape, RentenPe is introducing the country’s inaugural Rent Credit Score and Residence Card (R-Card). This trailblazing initiative, endorsed by market research from the global consultancy firm Ernst & Young, seeks to fill a notable void in the financial ecosystem by acknowledging and rewarding tenants for their reliable rent payments— a vital yet often undervalued financial responsibility.

Sarika Shetty 1

Transforming the Rental Sector

With almost half of India’s population under 40, a significant number of young professionals are moving from smaller towns to major urban centres, significantly contributing to the national economy. These individuals typically allocate a considerable portion of their earnings— up to 30% towards rent, while also aspiring to achieve homeownership, which is highly valued in Indian culture.

Despite the importance and regularity of these rent payments, they have been largely ignored by traditional financial assessments. Unlike credit card payments or loan instalments that positively influence credit scores, rent payments have historically been disregarded, leaving renters without proper financial acknowledgement

Harnessing the Potential of Rent

RentenPe aims to address this issue by launching the Rent Credit Score, a groundbreaking metric tailored for the residential rental sector. Utilizing an advanced algorithm, this score evaluates a range of financial, qualitative, and quantitative factors. It allows tenants to establish a credit profile based on their rental history, potentially leading to improved rental agreements, rent-related loans, pre-approved home loans, and potential savings on rent.

Sarika Shetty, Co-Founder & CEO of RentenPe, comments, “We believe that rent, a major monthly financial obligation, should receive the same recognition as EMIs and credit card payments. Our Rent Credit Score and R-Card are designed to empower tenants by acknowledging their financial commitment and supporting their long-term goals, including homeownership. While we do not engage in property listings, our initiative will be advantageous for prop-tech companies as well

Global Validation and impact

RentenPe’s approach is backed by extensive research conducted in partnership with Ernst & Young, which revealed the potential of integrating rent payment data into financial assessments. It is a point of pride for India that RentenPe is the first in the world to recognize the importance of including rent in credit scoring. The company began its research and development in 2021 with EY Parthenon.

Three years later, the Canadian government acknowledged the same issue and proposed measures in their budget to incorporate rental payment history into credit scores and mortgage evaluations based on rental payment patterns.

The R-Card: India’s First Digital Rental Identity

Complementing the Rent Credit Score is the R-Card, India’s first digital rental identity. Unlike a payment card, the R-Card acts as a digital ID, functioning as your rental passport with a verified profile and Rent Credit Score, enabling tenants to access better rental deals, quicker approval processes, and potential rent discounts. For landlords, it provides instant access to verified tenant profiles, early rent facilities, and more, streamlining the rental process and fostering trust.

A Paradigm Shift in India’s Rental Market

As RentenPe prepares for its official launch, the platform is set to drive a fundamental shift in how rent is perceived. By turning rent payments into a powerful financial tool, RentenPe is not just launching a new product—it is revolutionizing the rental landscape by making every rent count, and not treating it as an expense but as a step closer to owning a home.

From futuristic smart cities to state-of-the-art industrial facilities, these professionals are at the forefront of building the infrastructure that will support Saudi Arabia’s growth and modernization.

A Thriving Academic Exchange

Academics and researchers are finding fertile ground in Saudi Arabia, where there is a concerted effort to enhance educational standards and promote research and development. The influx of scholars and educators is enriching the academic landscape and fostering a culture of knowledge and innovation. This intellectual migration supports the kingdom’s goal of becoming a global hub for education and research.

The Relocations Industry: A New Era

Companies specializing in relocation services are witnessing a significant increase in demand, driven by the influx of professionals from various sectors.
