How Rashami Desai Lost 10 Kg With A Smart Diet And Weight Loss Routine
Around the time of Uttaran, Rashami Desai revealed that she lost around 10 kg by following a healthy diet and fitness regimen. Here's a breakdown of her diet and fitness routine.
Rashami Desai's Diet
"80 per cent my diet and 20 per cent workouts, since my work doesn't allow me to work out like I used to before. I constantly watch my diet and my body. When you have control of your mind regarding what you consume, it keeps you fit, and working out gives you motivation to stay positive," as quoted by Outlook.
In an interview with Telly Masala, Rashami Desai also shared that she plans her meals carefully now, as she has to be mindful of what she eats. The 39-year-old revealed that she has reduced her salt intake and eats a healthy diet.
Rashami Desai's Fitness Routine
Yoga plays a big role in her routine. Rashami Desai shared that she does Surya Namaskar every day along with 30 minutes of walking, which helps her stay on track with her fitness. She also includes strength training and stretching exercises when time permits. Her goal is not extreme weight loss results but strength and mental clarity.
A 2024 study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences found that Surya namaskar can help you reduce Body Mass Index (BMI) - body fat based on a person's height and weight - and waist size in people after 45 minutes of Suryanamaskara and heating Pranayama practice for 4 weeks.
Rashami Desai On Psoriasis That Led To Weight Gain
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rashami Desai shared that she suffered from a skin condition called psoriasis.
"I have been dealing with health issues for the past few months. Last year, in December, I was diagnosed with Psoriasis, which is a skin problem. It takes a lot of time to be cured, and sometimes, one isn't completely cured. For the last four months, I was on a steroid treatment program, which caused weight gain.
I was not allowed to go in the sun as the heat aggravates the problem. It also escalates due to stress, but it was impossible not to be stressed out about the condition as I am an actor and in this business, an actor's face is everything."
However, the actor never gave up and continued to keep herself fit with resilience. She made sure to eat a healthy diet and follow a fitness regimen that would help her maintain her weight and overall health.

Int'l genetic study predicts childhood obesity risk using Indian data
Cleared: dk Hyderabad: In a major study, an international team of over 600 scientists from 500 institutions developed a genetic test — polygenic risk score (PRS) — which can predict adult obesity as early as age five. The study analysed data from over five million (50 lakh) individuals worldwide, with significant representation from India. Scientists from city-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) played a key role in characterising the genomes of Indian individuals, including those monitored for diabetes over the long term. The south Asian data shaped PRS, making the findings especially relevant to the Indian context, where obesity-related disorders like diabetes and cardiovascular disease are on the rise. The tool, shown to be twice as effective as previous models, offers the potential for early lifestyle interventions in genetically high-risk children. You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad CCMB researchers on Tuesday said that obesity increases the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, poor bone health, reproductive problems, and cancers. Scientists worldwide worked with the largest and most diverse genetic dataset ever assembled, which included genetic data from the GIANT consortium and the consumer DNA testing company 23andMe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo In a statement, CCMB said: "The PRS discovery could help identify children and adolescents already at higher genetic risk of developing obesity, who could benefit from targeted preventative strategies such as lifestyle interventions at a younger age. Additionally, this score is twice as effective as the previous best test at predicting a person's risk of developing obesity." "What makes the score so powerful is its ability to predict, around the age of five, whether a child is likely to develop obesity in adulthood — well before other risk factors start to shape their weight later in childhood. Intervening at this point can have a huge impact," University of Copenhagen's NNF Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR) assistant professor Roelof Smit, who is the lead author of the research published in the journal 'Nature Medicine', said. Indian Representation in the Study The pattern of obesity in India differs notably from that in Europe, with Indians tending to have more central (abdominal) obesity. Earlier studies by Dr Giriraj Ratan Chandak at CCMB showed that the genetic basis of non-communicable diseases varies significantly between Indians and Europeans. In the latest study, researchers at CCMB, led by Dr Chandak, characterised the genomes of the Indian population, including individuals with diabetes as well as those with normal blood glucose levels. These individuals were followed for nearly 20 years, providing a unique opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of obesity in Indians. Several obesity-associated genetic changes were identified and used to develop PRS for Indians, effectively creating a "virtual individual" to model obesity risk. The Indian data served as a representative subset for the South Asian population in the global study, making the findings more applicable to India and neighbouring countries. The researchers also examined the link between a person's genetic risk of obesity and the effectiveness of lifestyle-based weight-loss interventions, such as diet and exercise. They found that individuals with a higher genetic risk of obesity responded better to interventions — but also tended to regain weight more quickly once those interventions ended. The study further highlights the role of population ancestry in predicting obesity risk. Despite using a globally representative dataset, PRS performed more accurately in individuals of European ancestry than in those of other ancestries, including South Asians. Many gene variants associated with obesity in Europeans do not have the same effect in Indians, reflecting the unique pattern of obesity observed in the Indian population. "The observations made in this study are consistent with our earlier findings," Dr Chandak noted.

Body of Kodagu man being brought back from Guyana
Madikeri: Mortal remains of a resident of Kodagu, who died in Guyana, will be brought back to India, the Non-Resident Indian Forum said on Wednesday. The state govt will extend financial assistance to bring back the body of PB Girish Babu Pale, who is a native of Madenadu village in Madikeri taluk, it stated. Girish was working as a staff nurse in the Sheriff General Hospital in Guyana, South America, for about two years. On July 3, he was admitted to the hospital where he was working due to illness and was undergoing treatment. However, he died of a heart attack on July 14. Following the incident, the family was in constant touch with the hospital and the Indian Embassy to bring the mortal remains to India. The embassy informed that the family of the deceased would have to pay about Rs 12 lakhs to bring the mortal remains to India. Janaki, wife of Girish, appealed to the Non-Resident Indian Forum for assistance from the govt, stating that the family was financially backward. Accordingly, the forum requested chief minister Siddaramaiah to consider the request. Janaki also met the CM and sought his intervention. In response, the state govt sanctioned Rs 3.6 lakh while the remaining amount is being borne by the Sheriff General Hospital where Girish worked, the Forum stated on Wednesday. In addition, the alumni of Basavanahalli Morarji Desai Residential School, where Girish studied, approached Virajpet MLA AS Ponnanna and requested him to provide financial assistance. The Indian Embassy in Guyana and the resident commissioner in New Delhi are coordinating the bringing of the body to India.
