Cardiologist shares 'jadoo diet for weight loss', assures you'll shed at least 7 kg in 1 month without starving yourself
This diet focuses on simple, wholesome foods and smart combinations to promote weight loss and overall health. It helps you enter a calorie deficit without feeling starved and allows your body to break fat naturally.
Explaining key components of his 'jadoo diet for weight loss', Dr Chhajer said in Hindi, 'It is a very simple concept: if we fill our stomachs with high-calorie food, our weight will increase, but if we fill with low-calorie food, we will not be hungry and our weight will not increase.'
He said, 'So in jaadu diet, we give a selection of low-calorie foods. You don't have to stay hungry. In fact, you should eat well, but stick to these low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables and salads... this leads to rapid weight loss without depriving your body of food. 7 kg weight loss in a month is assured, and that too without any extra cost.'

He added, 'Have black tea and lots of fruits. Then for lunch, have dal with raw vegetables by combining dal (like moong or masoor) with cucumber, beetroot, and carrot for protein, and other nutrients. For dinner, have soup with salad and boiled vegetable. This is just for a month: you don't have to follow this forever. You can lose about 10-20 kg with this diet in around 3 months. I recently met a patient in Kolkata, she was 86 kg and now she weighs 62 kg by just following this diet. Jaadu diet works wonderfully.'

Breastfeeding in a digital age
Becoming a mother often comes with a side of chaos, not just diapers, midnight feeds, or lullabies, but something far less spoken, the sheer overload of advice. From well-meaning relatives to parenting influencers on Instagram, new mothers are constantly surrounded by voices telling them what to do, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. Instead of feeling relieved that they have people to guide them, often mothers are confused, and in most cases, overwhelmed because today's mothers are raising their babies in the era of Instagram, WhatsApp, and parenting influencers. In a world of overflowing information, what's truly missing is genuine support. When advice turns into noise For most mothers, the advice starts pouring even before the baby arrives. 'You must exclusively breastfeed.' 'Don't give water till six months.' 'Use this position.' 'Avoid that food.' There is a barrage of dos and don'ts. At present, there are also strangers online who have different versions of 'getting it right'. The outcome is mothers begin to doubt themselves. Digital noise forces their instincts into the background. Instead of feeling like they are supported, they often feel judged. Thus, the mothers' instincts are drowned by digital noise, rather than feeling confident and supported, they feel judged. It is important for mothers to have a break, to reassure that they are doing well, and it's a step-wise process, after all. Unlearning myths is important since sometimes mothers tend to have already internalised these and accepted these as truths. Some of them are: The baby is crying because the mother must not have enough milk. If you give a bottle once, breastfeeding is ruined forever. Breastfeeding should come naturally. If it's hard, you're doing it wrong. You need to eat only bland food while nursing. These myths come from different sources, the problem is not only that they are wrong, but they are delivered so confidently that mothers begin to believe that there is something wrong with their breastfeeding methods. They also feel ashamed for something that may not even be in their control. Worse, they may delay asking for help when it's most needed.

Anti-vape law goes up in smoke
Chennai: At a friendly, private get-together at home, or at a restobar in the city, youngsters gather to bond over music, cocktails, and 'banned' vape pens (electronic or e-cigarettes). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Nearly 70% users of this prohibited, but easily available, casually used, nicotine delivery device fall within the age bracket of 18-30 years. A spot-check by TOI in T Nagar, Nungambakkam, Alwarpet, and Mannadi revealed several shops selling vape pens and e-liquid refills. A salesman at a perfume shop in Ranganathan Street, T Nagar, initially denied that he sold vapes, but later admitted to having limited stock in three flavours: raspberry fusion, mango fusion, and guava-mint, imported from Malaysia and China. "We only accept cash," the shopkeeper said. Prices vary depending on puff count. Pens offering 25,000 puffs are sold at 2,700, while premium variants are priced upwards of 7,000. Online platforms, however, list the same products for as low as 1,500 and sell without age verification. Many buyers use WhatsApp groups or Instagram pages to make purchases. So, what was the draw of vaping? "I first tried it in college as my friends used it," said S Adithya, 22, a collegegoer. "Although I had quit, I tend to vape when meeting up with my friends, or you feel left out," he added. Trisha Bhowmick, another college student, turned to vaping to deal with anxiety. While the sale and consumption of traditional cigarettes, a cheaper alternative, remain legal, young users gravitate toward illegal vapes owing to perceived 'harmlessness' (fruity flavours, no lingering odour). That is a misconception, as Dr Krishna, an oncologist, explained, "Unlike therapeutic aerosols of a nebuliser, a vape delivers harmful chemicals to the lungs. Aerosols include nicotine and other toxic substances that can cause heart disease, lung problems, and even cancer." Enforcement is also a challenge. Last year, Chennai police arrested just 16 people for possession of the banned tobacco products, including vapes. In areas such as Tambaram and Avadi, there have been no recorded seizures, raising concerns over the ignorance around vape usage. Ashra Garg, inspector- general (north), said, "We rely on local sources and conduct raids when we get reliable inputs. Vapes can be easily hidden, which makes enforcement harder. We are committed to cracking down on suppliers and users alike." Under the Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act, 2019 (PECA), manufacturing, importing, selling, storing, or advertising e-cigarettes is banned. Police officers at the sub-inspector level and above can search, seize, and arrest the offenders without a warrant. First time offenders face up to one year in jail or a fine of `1 lakh, while repeat offenders can be jailed for three years. However, the law does not differentiate between personal use and commercial distribution. A casual user with one vape pen could receive the same punishment as a person smuggling or peddling thousands. Activists opine that officials must work with e-tailer platforms to curb illegal online sales, while educational institutions must adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards tobacco use.

'This diet is rooted in nutrient-packed foods that will boost your cardiovascular health, addressing factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol levels,' the doctor said, in his blog on a website. Let's take a look. A diet rich in vegetables and fruits 'Your parents were right in including fruits and vegetables in your diet growing up,' Dr. Chhajer said. The cardiologist has stressed the importance of incorporating fruits and vegetables in the diet. He also suggests to fill the plate with different kinds of veggies and fruits, varying in colors, shape and taste. Veggies and fruits could provide essential nutrients and antioxidants, which are vital for heart health.

"Chuck the processed or refined grains and opt for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats. These grains are fiberous, rich in vitamins, and minerals, which all actively contribute towards better heart health," the doctor said. Lean proteins Remember, your body needs fuel to function. And the best way to get it is by adding protein to your diet. Dr. Chhajer recommends adding lean proteins such as legumes and tofu. "Lower or completely stop consuming meat and open your food world to healthier and greener alternatives. This will help lower your saturated fat intake," he said. No more guesswork: Doctor busts common myths about women's health Limit salt intake Dr. Chhajer emphasized the importance of being mindful about sodium intake. "Constant thirst and rising heart levels can all be controlled if you start lowering your high-sodium food intake like processed snacks, canned soups, and fast-food items," the cardiologist said. He further stressed how pre-packed foods are calorie-dense and lack essential nutrients or minerals that the body needs. "Lowering salt intake can be something alien for you, so instead, include more herbs and spices to flavor your meals. Not only will your meals become more flavorful, but you're also reducing your reliance on excess salt," he said.
