Tips And Tricks to stay away from Acidity

Acidity and Migraine are common issues on Karwa chauth so here we present a few valuable tips for Karwa Chauth 2019 so as to avoid acidity and migraine on this joyous day.

As we all know this day is celebrated in three phases.

Sargi:

It is supposedly the most troublesome part of the day of Karwa Chauth fast as it has to be completed before sunrise. For this to be made into a healthy beginning of the day it is important to follow certain simple rules.

Consume 200 ml of coconut water as it provides electrolyte in your body.

One banana and some Pomegranate seeds to keep you hydrated all through the day and to stop acidity.

Adding few soaked nuts for that kick of omega 3 keeping energy level up throughout the day is a good idea.

Too much of sweet must be avoided.

Have curd with one vegetable like cauliflower stuffed roti with Deshi ghee applied on it after removing roti from the pan to cut on unnecessary fat.

Have water at the end and please do not overeat.

Day Fasting:

Make it a day to relax, detox and rest. In the evening after pooja if you do…

Enjoy any herb infused water (cinnamon, elaichi, cucumber, mint) to avoid acidity. These days most of the women have nimbu or nariyal paani after pooja.

Take tea if you can adding some cardamom n cinnamon to it.

Ending Fast:

After the moon sighting, break your fast preferably with coconut water or lemon water to provide some electrolytes to the parched body.

Start your dinner with salad.

Please do not sit after dinner but, go for a very short walk.

Karwa Chauth 2019- Tips And Tricks to care for

Do not eat heavy fried food after breaking the fast.

Avoid outside food, homemade is always better for a detoxed body.

You must have jeera n ajwain water to avoid bloating at night. Prepare it during the day by soaking 1/2 tsp of jeera and 1/2 tsp of ajwain. You must have it before going to bed after sieving it.

Rishabh Bajaj walked into his Mansion’s living room to a bunch of overdecked ladies sitting on his sofas. Their loud chatter was a change in his usual silent Mansion. “Main keh rahi hoon, bahut achi party hogi, kyu Mrs Bajaj?” A woman, whom he recognized as Mrs Grover, threw the question at his wife, who was sitting on her favorite sofa. Prerna smiled and nodded in agreement as the other ladies looked happy. Rishabh frowned as he saw Reena walk up to him to take off his coat. “What’s happening Reena?” He asked his assistant, who quickly took off his coat. “Sir, wo kal Karwa Chauth hai na, so ye ladies function rakh rahin hai. And they are here to invite Ma’am.” Reena said and noticed Bajaj’s thunderous face. “Koi Karwa Chauth nahin hoga.” He suddenly announced and every lady’s head whipped to his side. Prerna sat up straight as she saw her husband looking angrily over everyone. “Bajaj ji, hum toh aapki wife ko invite karne aaye hain. Wo humare saath apna vrat kholengi toh- “Mrs Bajaj koi vrat nahin rakhengi.” He said and walked further into the hall. “Can’t you see she’s pregnant?” “Haan par pati ke liye- “Jab patni ki halat nahi hai aur pati khud nahin chahta ki vrat ho, toh aap kon hote hain force karne wale?” He said with a calm tone. “Invite karne aaye the, kar lia? Now if you’ll please excuse us.” The ladies did not look very surprised at his ‘request’, they were used to it. Nodding and shaking their heads, they left on by one and Rishabh looked back to see his wife standing with her arms crossed. “Kya tha ye?” She asked with a cocked eyebrow. “Aap yahin thi na? Suna nahin?” He asked and started walking back. “Main vrat rakhungi.” She said and he turned back at her. “Koi zarurat nahi hai- “Aap meri zarurat ki fikr mat kijiye- “Kaise na karoon? Duty hai meri- “Toh meri bhi duty hai. Main bhi chahti hoon ki mere hone wale baby ka papa ek lambi zindagi jiye.” She said and shrugged. This shut up Rishabh. He smiled and nodded. Of course, how could he be so stupid sometimes? Did he forget already that his wife still loves Mr Basu and he is the father of her baby? “Fine. Aapse jhagda karne ka mood nahin hai. Do whatever you want.” He said and left to freshen up. Prerna smiled to herself, a little surprised that her husband agreed to this but instead of worrying about that, she decided to look at the brighter side. This was going to be her first KC and she could not wait to start and end it with her husband’s hands already. The next morning, she was woken up by Reema and she quickly had the sargi which was prepared. It was almost 6 am already and Rishabh, who usually woke up around 5 am, was still asleep it seemed. “Mr Bajaj- “Sir left for office at 5 am, Ma’am.” Reema said and Prerna pouted. She faintly remembered his soft, cold lips on her warm forehead and realized that wasn’t a dream she had dreamt an hour ago. He did come to see her, as every morning, but she didn’t wake up today. -- Rishabh Bajaj shut the file with a thup, a bubble of frustration in his stomach riled up his mood. Why was he so affected by the fact that his wife was keeping a fast for another man! He knew that Mrs Bajaj loved Mr Basu, the baby was their, and if she wanted, she could do anything for the baby but...she should not have kept this stupid fast! What if it harmed the baby? She was supposed to have three hearty meals, four snacks and healthy soups and juices throughout the day but here she was, not eating a single morsel of food for more than 20 hours just because some hundred year old tradition said it would give a long life to her man. Her man. Rishabh chuckled to himself. He hated how he felt lately, towards that woman, for that woman. His heart was in constant pain and there was no medicine for it. His brain itched at him to go home and make her eat her breakfast, lunch, dinner all at once but he knew she would not budge. How could she when it was about the father of her baby? That man did not even know what this woman was doing and here he was, looking at the tamasha. He shook his head and cleared his throat before calling his secretary, who came in rushing with his coffee. “Take it away.” He said at the sight of the steaming, black beverage. He could not even think of drinking anything when he knew his pregnant wife was going to be hungry the whole day. “And cancel my breakfast and lunch.” -- “Hello?” He picked the call and looked at his watch, which read 7 pm. “Aap ghar kab aa rahe hain?” His wife asked, sounding tired and weak. He pursed his lips, not wanting to scream at her. “Kyu? Kya ho gaya?” He asked instead and could hear her walking around, as she did when she was nervous. “Mujhe fast todna hai- “Toh todiye. Take care.” He cut the call and almost threw away his phone. So Anurag Basu was going to come to his Mansion to break his wife’s fast? Rishabh laughed sarcastically and held his head, which thudded with pain. Hunger and thirst was making him more angrier than usual and he hated it. Trying to stop his mind from overthinking, he opened a file to distract himself and was only disturbed three long hours later when his phone rang, the shrill of the ringtone echoing in his cabin. “Hello?” He said, wondering what happened now. Did Mrs Bajaj want him to send a car to drop her beloved Mr Basu at his Basu Badi? “Sir...jaldi se ghar aa jaiye please.” Reema’s tensed voice made him confused. “Ma’am...she did not break her fast and now she is not feeling good- Before she could say anything further, Rishabh was out of his cabin and screaming at his secretary to call his driver. He just muttered curse after curse for that Basu boy, who could not even break a fast of a pregnant woman on time. He stopped himself from calling him and with as much patience as humanly possible, dropped a text, Bajaj Mansion, now. His driver got scarred for life that night, as his Boss just yelled at him to cover a distance of ten kilometres in ten minutes. As soon as they reached the Mansion, he almost jumped out of the car, failing to see Anurag arriving behind him as well. -- “Prerna!” He shouted, his empty stomach finally taking over his mind. “Prerna!” “Sir, Ma’am room mein hai.” Reema said from the balcony and Rishabh rushed to his wife’s room, only to find her sitting on the bed, dressed in a blood red sari with beautiful jewelry yet with a pale face and sad expression as the doctor tried to coax her to eat. “Maine kaha na.” Her tone was incredibly weak and Rishabh gritted his teeth. “Main tabhi khaungi jab wo yahan- “He’s here.” Rishabh said and entered the room. Prerna’s face lit up as she saw him enter. The smile on her face soothed his anger for a second before he realised it was not for him and he cleared his throat. “Ye kya bachpana hai Mrs Bajaj?” He frowned and walked up to her bed. “Aapne fast kyu nahin toda abtak? Agar late ho raha tha toh call- “Kia toh tha.” She said and crossed her arms. “Yaad dilane ke liye aapko, ki muje vrat kholna hai toh jaldi aa jayiega, par aapne toh phone hi cut kar dia. Aur bola kya? Toh todiye! Ab jiske liye rakha hai, wo hi nahi hoga toh kaise todungi?” Rishabh, for a second, couldn't believe what she just said. She had kept the fast for him? As in Rishabh? As in her husband? Main bhi chahti hoon ki mere hone wale baby ka papa ek lambi zindagi jiye. The sudden smile on his face confused Prerna, who was expecting a sarcastic comment from her husband. As he walked towards her and sat beside her, she smiled softly and quietly, slipped her hand in his. He looked down, surprised at her touch and saw the beautiful henna designs on her hand. She saw him staring her palms and opened them. There was a small R on the palm and he traced his thumb on it, sending a current throughout her body. “Fast kholne ke liye jo chahiye, lekar aao Reema.” He said and Prerna smiled widely, getting up from the bed. All her fatigueness seemed to vanish as she quickly walked to the dressing table to straighten up her appearance as her husband chuckled softly. Reema walked in to inform that everything was ready in the balcony and Rishabh frowned. “Maine kaha tha sab saaman yahan la- “Maine sab balcony mein ready karwaya tha.” Prerna said and he sighed. He did not want to break her heart by spilling water on her plans, which she had planned for him. He took three steps towards her and picked her up bridal style. “Mr Bajaj!” Prerna gasped as her arms went around him. “Ye aap- “Aap kamzor hain. Keep quiet.” He said and she remained silent as they reached the balcony. Putting her down, he looked at the beautiful decorations and then at his wife, who looked prettier than anything else. “Beautiful.” He said and saw her blush unashamedly with a proud smile. “Vrat kholiye.” She whispered and he nodded as Reema handed a pooja thaal to Prerna, who went ahead with the rasams. Rishabh took the earthen pot of water and made her drink it as they did not break their eye connection for even a second. Prerna felt weirdly satisfied as the cool water dampened her parched throat and noticed her husband gulp a little more than usual. As he took a piece of sweet to feed her, she realised that she had not gotten any call from his secretary regarding his breakfast or lunch. After finishing the sweet, she looked at the staff and gestured them to leave. One by one, the whole staff left them alone and Rishabh looked at her. “Kya hua- “Paani.” She said and put the earthen pot to his lips and he simply drank the whole thing in one go. She put the pot down and suddenly giggled as she saw that her lipstick stain on the pot left his lips a dark red as well. “Kya hua?” He asked as she shook her head to stop herself from laughing. Prerna stepped closer to her husband and using her saree’s pallu, tried to wipe the lipstick off, startling him. “Ab sahi hai.” She said as she cleaned the mark and he nodded. “Waise, aap bahut zyada ziddi hain.” He said and gestured her to start walking towards her room. “It comes with being a Bajaj.” She shrugged, leaving him surprised at her witty comment. They did not realize that Anurag was following them as reached the bedroom and Rishabh said to the doctor to check his wife. “She is okay now.” The doctor said after checking her vitals. “Let her have her dinner and her usual medicine.” “Baby- “Your baby is absolutely fine Mr Bajaj.” The doctor said and looked at Prerna. “You can feel it, right?” “Haan, your baby is absolutely fine Mr Bajaj.” Prerna said, repeating the doctor’s words with a smile and rubbed her belly. “Thank goodness, otherwise main bahut naraz hota aapse.” He said as the doctor got up to leave. “Rest kijiye, I’ll be back in five.” Following the doctor, he walked out of the room to thank her and finally spotted Mr Basu standing outside. “Jab apni biwi ke saath romance hi karna tha toh mujhe kyu bulaya- “Spare me the lecture Mr Basu.” He said. “Kuch important baat karni thi but right now, my wife and baby are not well, so I’ll call you some other time. Bye.” Anurag was left speechless as Rishabh Bajaj left him alone to go to his wife. “Kya hua? Kaun tha bahar?” Prerna asked as he walked in. “I’ll tell you later. Dinner kariye- “Hum sath mein karenge, maine yahin mangwa lia hai.” She said and he nodded, sitting on the bed. ��Waise bhi, I know you haven’t eaten a morsel.” “What? I di- “Jhooth toh boliye mat. You are like an open book to me.” She said and he smirked. “Puri duniya mein shayad aap pehli insaan hain jinhone mujhse ye kaha hai that I am an open book.” He chuckled. “Otherwise logon ko meri direct baat bhi samajh nahi aati.” “Main logon mein nahi aati.” She said. “Waise, aapne bhi vrat rakha, I feel really special.” “Hmm, zyada importance mat dijiye khudko- “Main kahan de rahi hoon? Aap hi de rahe hain.” She shrugged as their dinner came. Prerna took a piece of naan and dipped it in the curry before putting it before putting it before his mouth. “Kha lijiye.” She said and he held her wrist to eat. “Waise aapki mehendi ka rang baut gehra hai.” He said as she stared at her palms. “Hoga hi. Aapne kahawat toh suni hai na? Mehendi ka rang gehra kab hota hai?” She said as they kept eating. “Suni hai na. Didn’t believe it before but I believe it now.” He said and smiled at her beautiful smile and pink face. That night, they finally broke their fast of love. Writer: SanyaEterna

Plastics Chemicals Meant to Replace BPA May Not Be Any Safer for Kids

THURSDAY, July 25, 2019 (HealthDay News) — Manufacturers have been phasing out the plastics chemical bisphenol A because of evidence it might harm human health. Now a new study raises questions about the chemicals that have replaced it.

Bisphenol A, or BPA, has long been used in plastics. It was once in a wide range of products — including the lining of food cans, food storage containers, water bottles and even the coating on cash-receipt paper.

In recent years, though, companies have turned to substitutes and tout their products as “BPA-free.”

That’s based on a body of research showing that BPA is an endocrine disruptor — capable of interfering with the body’s hormones — and may have ill health effects. Studies have linked higher BPA exposure to increased risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, for example.

But are the BPA substitutes any safer?

“There’s not a lot known about them,” said Melanie Jacobson, a research scientist at NYU Langone Health in New York City, who led the new study. “There’s been much more research on BPA.”

But, she pointed out, the replacement chemicals are structurally similar to BPA — as implied by names like bisphenol S and bisphenol F, two of the most common BPA substitutes.

And there is lab evidence that BPA alternatives have estrogen-like activity. A 2017 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that certain substitutes were actually more potent than BPA in activating estrogen receptors in human cells.

In the new study, Jacobson’s team focused on urinary levels of bisphenol S and bisphenol F in more than 1,800 U.S. children and teenagers. The investigators found that overall, higher levels of those chemicals correlated with a higher prevalence of obesity.

For each “unit increase” in BPS, the odds of obesity rose 16%, and the chances of severe obesity increased by 18%, the findings showed.

BPF, meanwhile, was less commonly detected in kids’ urine. But when it was, the odds of excess belly fat increased: Among kids with detectable BPF, the risk of abdominal obesity was 29% higher.

None of that proves cause and effect, though.

“We have to interpret the findings with caution,” Jacobson said. “We can’t infer that [the chemicals] cause obesity or weight gain.”

Instead, she said, the study shows that links between the chemicals and obesity exist. More research is needed to see whether, for example, the BPA substitutes are related to kids’ weight gain over time.

Dr. Robert Sargis is an assistant professor of endocrinology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He said, “It’s very important to study these other bisphenols and determine their health effects.”

People may assume that a “BPA-free” label means a product is safe, Sargis noted, when, in fact, it often contains less-studied bisphenols.

The new findings, published online July 25 in the Journal of the Endocrine Society, are based on data from a government health study conducted between 2013 and 2016. It included 1,831 children and teens aged 6 to 19.

Nearly all had BPA in their urine samples, while 88% had BPS, and 55% had BPF.

Since bisphenols are often found in food packaging, people with high levels may eat a lot of processed foods. So, Jacobson noted, it can be difficult to tease out the effects of bisphenols from the effects of diet.

But, she said, her team was able to account for kids’ calorie intake. Even then, the link between bisphenols and obesity remained.

Plus, Sargis said, it’s not an either/or situation: Research suggests that diet and chemicals “interact” to create effects that are greater than those of either alone.

If you’re looking to avoid bisphenols, Samara Geller, of the nonprofit Environmental Working Group, offered this advice: Eat fewer processed foods and more fresh ones; choose frozen or dried foods over canned, or foods sold in glass or other alternatives to cans and plastic; avoid hard, clear plastics with the recycling code 7 or marked “PC”; ask for electronic receipts; wash your hands after handling paper receipts.

Jacobson echoed that advice.

“We’re not sure yet what these [BPA substitutes] do,” she said. “But if you want to limit your exposure, there are some simple things you can do.”

- After that, they are given a piece of sweet and a sip of water by their husbands.

- This marks the end of the day long fast.

Ayurveda and Karwa Chauth:

The ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda sees the basic cause of many diseases as the accumulation of toxic materials in the digestive system. Regular cleansing of toxic materials keeps one healthy. By fasting, the digestive organs get rest and all body mechanisms are cleansed and corrected. A complete fast is good for heath, and the occasional intake of warm lemon juice during the period of fasting prevents the flatulence.

Veeravati Katha for reference:

A long time ago, there lived a beautiful princess by the name of Veeravati. When she grew up, she was married to a king. On the occasion of the first Karva Chauth after her marriage, she went to her parents house to do the vrat. After sunrise, she observed a strict fast. However, Veeravati was very delicate and could not stand the rigours of fasting. By evening, Veeravati felt very weak, and fainted. Veeravati had seven brothers who loved her dearly. They couldn’t stand the plight of their sister and decided to end her fast. They made a fire at the nearby hill and asked their sister to see the glow. They assured her that it was the moonlight and since the moon had risen, she could break her fast. However, the moment the gullible queen Veeravati ate her dinner, she received the news that her husband, the king, was dead. She was heartbroken and rushed to her husband’s palace. On the way, she met Shivji and Parvati Mata. Parvati Mata told her that her husband the king had died because she had broken her fast by watching a false moon. However, when Veeravati asked her for forgiveness, Parvati Mata granted her the boon that her husband, the king would come to life but would be still very ill. When the Veeravati reached the palace, she found the king lying unconscious with hundreds of needles inserted in his body. Each day she managed to remove one needle from the king’s body. Next year, on the day of Karva Chauth, only one needle remained embedded in the body of the unconscious king. The queen Veeravati observed a strict fast that day and when she went to the market to buy the karva for the puja, her maid removed the remaining needle from the king’s body. The king regained consciousness, and mistook the maid for his queen. When the real queen Veeravati returned to the palace, she was made to serve as a maid. However, Veeravati was true to her faith and religiously observed the Karva Chauth vrat. Once when the king was going to some other kingdom, he asked the real queen Veeravati (now turned maid) if she wanted anything. Veeravati asked for a pair of identical dolls. The king brought back the dolls for her. The queen Veeravati always used to chant this song “Roli ki Goli ho gayi… Goli ki Roli ho gayi" (the queen has turned into a maid and the maid has turned into a queen). On being asked by the king as to why did she keep repeating that song, Veeravati narrated the entire story. The king repented and restored the queen Veeravati to her royal status. It was blessings of Goddess Parvati and the queen’s devotion and Her faith that won back her husband’s affection.
