Detoxification drinks for weight loss
All the fluids extracted in their natural form are good for detoxification and weight loss. And if you take the right ingredients, that may boost weight loss.
Sonia Narang, Nutrition Expert, Oriflame India, tells you how you can drink your way to weight loss:
♦ Banana water shake: Put one ripe banana in a blender, few ice cubes, half cup of water. Blend till its frothy. Drink chilled.
This drink is a rich source of energy and potassium and calcium. Good for weight loss as it doesn't have milk which otherwise makes the drink heavy.
♦ Coconut mint pine pina colada: Fresh coconut water, two slices of pineapple, few leaves of mint. Blend the above in a blender. It makes for a clean drink which is packed with minerals, good for digestion and is rich in enzyme Bromelain which is known to boost weight loss. It also helps reducing bad cholesterol.
Performance boosting hormone may help patients with mental disorders
Individuals suffering from bipolar disorder or depression treated with a hormone best known to boost performance in sportspersons may also improve their cognitive functioning, a study has found.
The hormone erythropoietin (EPO), mostly produced by the kidney, is essential for the production of red blood cells.
EPO gives the blood a greater capacity to carry oxygen, and is thus used as a performance-enhancing drug by the sportspersons, the study said.
The findings showed that EPO had beneficial effects on patients' verbal memory, attention span as well as planning ability.
My role on the lines of Vijay Mallya in 'Khaidi No.150': Tarun
Actor Tarun Arora, who is making his Telugu debut with Chiranjeevi-starrer "Khaidi No.150", a remake of Tamil blockbuster "Kaththi", says his role in the film is on the lines of renegade Indian businessman Vijay Mallya.
Tarun's role was originally played by Neil Nitin Mukesh.
"I play a much mature and aged character vis-A-vis what Neil played in the original. The makers haven't changed my character per se, but our take on it will be different. Going by the brief given to me, it's on the lines of Vijay Mallya," Tarun told, adding that he plays a sophisticated villain.
"You'll only see me in suits throughout the film. Imagine Mallya in his prime and that's exactly how I'm going to be portrayed," he said.
