Video of ‘cleanest indian street food' goes viral; social media still not convinced
A video about 'the cleanest indian street food' has gone viral, gaining nearly 5 million views. The X (formerly Twitter) post shows a street food vendor preparing a rose-syrup drink. The platform is unusually clean. The organised setup contrasts with typical perceptions of Indian street food hygiene. The vendor was seen using a clean workspace and minimal direct hand contact with the food. Social media users are not convinced. '"Cleanest" ....video starts with an indian dude's hand IN THE GLASS?' wondered one user. 'The refusal to wear gloves, at a minimum, is impressive,' came a sarcastic reply. Another commented, 'Is there such a thing as clean indian street food?' 'Foreigners are coming to India and eating from the most unhygienic and rotten places where even locals don't eat,' wrote another. One user asked FSSAI to 'stop all such nonsense wherever ingestible food is concerned'. 'World has shamed us enough to reverse the perception and make Indian street food (& restaurants) the most hygienic in world!' the user added. When one user claimed that the video was from Pakistan, many users claimed that it was in Kochi, Kerala. The original video is from Street Food Journey on Instagram. The original video gained nearly 28 million views. It confirmed that the business name is Kuluki. In 2014, The Guardian cited the Public Health Association to claim that only 53% of Indians wash their hands with soap after using the toilet, 38% before eating, and 30% before cooking. Harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, found in human and animal waste, spread easily through dirty hands, unwashed food, flies, cash or water. They can cause serious illnesses like diarrhoea, typhoid and food poisoning. The video's virality and the reactions it garners reflect a broader cultural and health discourse, where initiatives to improve street food safety standards are underway, yet the general perception remains sceptical due to historical and ongoing hygiene issues, as discussed in various online forums and media outlets. In February 2024, Medical Channel Asia pointed out serious health risks behind the tasty treats on Indian streets. Poor hygiene, dirty water and unsafe cooking can spread dangerous germs like E. coli and cholera, it said. Such germs can cause stomach infections, dehydration and even death. It is suggested to choose stalls with many customers as their food is likely fresher. It also advised tourists to pick vendors who keep their cooking area and utensils clean and go for cooked food instead of raw to avoid germs.

‘To be able to move around without help, without pain..': Bhagyashree shares exercises that better foot health
Bhagyashree's social media is full of easy tips and tricks for public health and welfare. In the recent installment of her weekly series Tuesday Tips with B, the Bollywood star shared some quick exercises that target one of the most overlooked parts of our body: foot health. 'Somehow we overlook our feet, which the most important for a happy longevity. To be able to move around with out help, without pain, with complete confidence and stability.. something we all strive for as we age year after year. Here are some simple exercises to help,' the Bollywood veteran mentioned in the caption of her Instagram post. Yoga trainer and alternate healer Anadi Sharma explained that the moves shown in the video are known as foot block exercises — simple, targeted movements using just a yoga block, no machines, no fluff. 'These exercises are perfect for improving foot strength, correcting posture, and addressing issues like flat feet, overpronation, and ankle instability,' he said. Here's a list of the exercises shown and their health benefits: Stand with the inside edges of your feet on the block and gently lift the arches. Why it helps: Strengthens the intrinsic foot muscles to support your arch naturally. What to keep in mind: * Keep all toes relaxed and grounded. * Movement is subtle, don't over-lift. Don't do this: Curl your toes or grip the block. From the same stance, rise onto the balls of your feet, keeping ankles aligned. Why it helps: Trains ankle alignment and builds foot-ankle strength to correct overpronation. What to keep in mind: * Distribute weight evenly on big toe, little toe, and heel. * Control the descent. Don't do this: Let ankles collapse inward. Stand with toes elevated on the block, heels on the ground. Why it helps: Stretches tight calves and the Achilles tendon, improves mobility and posture. What to keep in mind: * Keep your spine neutral and knees straight or slightly bent (depending on focus). Don't do this: Bounce or lean forward. Stand on the block's side edge, pressing one foot down while maintaining balance. Why it helps: Improves ankle control, strengthens stabilizers, and boosts proprioception. What to keep in mind: * Activate your core and leg muscles. * Keep the opposite foot grounded and stable. Don't do this: Let your knees cave in or twist your torso. * Perform barefoot for best activation. * 1–2 sets of 8–10 reps per side is a good start. * If you're post-injury, check with a physiotherapist first. * Consistency beats intensity, do them daily or as part of warm-ups.
