This is the secret to Novak Djokovic's success when faced with performance pressure
Novak Djokovic is a legend in the field of tennis. His hard work, passion and determination for the sport have time and again come through via multiple accolades under his belt. A vocal proponent of wellness and mindfulness, Djokovic has previously talked about meditation and gratitude to be the pillars behind his strength and success. During the recent Wimbledon match, the tennis ace was spotted by the Centre Court, doing breathing exercises and regulating his nervous system. According to digital creator Breathpod who analysed his movements in a video circulating online, Djokovic released tension in his diaphragm that builds when stressed, under pressure or angry, and used deep breaths to reset his nervous system. He also used breathwork as performance enhancement — instead of recovery or relaxation, it became a game changing tool to control body and mind when it matters the most. Dr Deepti Sinha, lead consultant, Dept of ENT at the CK Birla Hospital (R), Delhi, agreed that practicing nasal breathing exercises can significantly benefit your body and mind. 'Techniques like relaxed nose breathing, alternate nostril breathing, and belly breathing promote a calm and focused approach to work and life. By inhaling and exhaling through your nose, you humidify the air, enhancing respiratory comfort and supporting lung health,' said Dr Sinha. According to her, doing breathwork within 30 minutes of waking up can be crucial because it 'works like a natural alarm for your body. It helps you feel awake, energised, and clear-headed, preparing your body and mind for the day. When you pair it with sunlight and a glass of water, it's an easy way to align with your body's natural circadian rhythm. Incorporating such a mindful practice early in the morning can also help set a positive tone for stress management, increasing resilience and focus throughout the day. 'Mindful nasal breathing is the simplest form of meditation. Starting with just a few minutes of nasal breathing can make a noticeable difference in overall health and well-being,' said Dr Sinha. Belly breathing, what Djokovic was spotted doing on the court, basically engages the diaphragm, enhancing deep oxygenation and relaxation, while alternate nostril breathing balances the nervous system, reducing stress and improving mental clarity. 'These exercises strengthen lung capacity, support a steady heart rate, and prepare the body for unexpected challenges,' said Dr Sinha. If your mornings are chaotic and you jump straight into tasks, that's not the best start. 'I'd recommend doing yoga first thing. It's a perfect mix of movement and breathwork. Even just a few minutes of pranayama can clear your mind, improve focus, and help you feel more alert,' she said, adding whether you have 5 minutes or 30, adding breathwork to your morning routine is worth it.

Switch from white rice to brown rice, swap sour cream with Greek yoghurt: 5 small tweaks for a healthier diet
To be healthy and fit, what you eat needs to be closely followed. But this doesn't mean you have to change your entire diet overnight. Small swaps in your everyday meals can help you get started steadily. This means identifying the ingredients in your meals, from breakfast and lunch to dinner and even snacks. These may not look big enough, but the better nutritional profiles of these ingredients slowly change your direction towards better nourishment for the overall body. Narrowing down on the right ingredients helps you tweak your everyday meals, turning towards healthy eating sustainably.(Freepik) ALSO READ: What does healthy eating really mean? Doctor shares how to eat right, snack right and steer clear of fad diets Deepali Sharma, Clinical Nutritionist at the CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, shared with HT Lifestyle these five easy ingredient swaps you can make in your daily diet healthier: 1. Swap sour cream or heavy dips with Greek yoghurt or homemade curd-based dips Often, sweet dishes utilise heavy creams. Instead of opting for those, go with Greek Yoghurt.(Shutterstock) Greek yoghurt is high in protein, calcium, and probiotics. It supports gut health, aids digestion, and offers a creamy texture without the excess saturated fat found in sour cream. This swap reduces calorie intake and adds beneficial bacteria for a stronger immune system. 2. Switch white rice to brown rice or vegetable-based rice Brown rice is a healthier alternative.(Freepik) Brown rice is a whole grain, rich in dietary fibre, complex carbohydrates, magnesium, and B vitamins. Unlike white rice, which is high in simple carbs and low in nutrients, brown rice helps in blood sugar regulation, improves digestion, and keeps you full for longer. 3. Ditch fried snacks for fresh fruits, nuts, and seeds Nuts are healthy fats.(Freepik) Instead of chips or fried namkeen, choose mindful snacking options like almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and seasonal fruits. These are rich in healthy fats (omega-3s), antioxidants, vitamin E, magnesium, and fibre, which support brain health, reduce inflammation, and provide sustained energy. 4. Replace white bread with whole grain, multigrain, or millet bread Choose brown bread.(Freepik) Whole grain or millet-based breads are packed with selenium, vitamin B complex, magnesium, and fibre. They improve digestion, offer better blood sugar control, and give a longer feeling of fullness compared to nutrient-poor white bread. 5. Use avocados instead of mayonnaise or cream-based spreads Replace mayonnaise with avocado in your sandwich.(Freepik) Avocados are a rich source of healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, and fibre. They support heart health, improve cholesterol levels, and enhance the nutritional value of your meals without the trans fats found in store-bought spreads. The nutritionist also warned against packaged juices and unhealthy cooking styles. She said, 'Avoid packaged or tetra pack juices. Instead, eat whole, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Whole fruits provide fibre, vitamins A, C, and potassium, and help regulate digestion and blood sugar levels. For cooking methods, replace deep-frying with healthier techniques like steaming, sautéing, grilling, or baking. This helps preserve nutrients and significantly cuts down on unhealthy fats.'

Scientists find new 'brain-inflaming' bat viruses in China: Should we worry
Scientists in China have discovered 20 new viruses in bats, including two that are closely related to the deadly Nipah and Hendra, which are known to cause severe brain inflammation and respiratory illness in humans. The findings, published in the journal PLOS Pathogens on Tuesday, raise concerns about potential spillover to humans and livestock through contamination from bat urine. What did scientists find in the Yunnan bat study? Researchers at the Yunnan Institute of Endemic Disease Control and Prevention analysed kidney samples from 142 bats across 10 species collected between 2017 and 2021. The study found 22 viruses—20 of which were previously unknown. Two of the most concerning were Yunnan bat henipavirus 1 and 2, closely related to Hendra and Nipah viruses, both of which are highly fatal to humans and animals. Are these viruses transmissible through bat urine? Yes, and this is what alarms scientists. The viruses were found in the kidneys—organs responsible for urine production—suggesting that urine may be a possible transmission route. Contaminated fruit or water sources near bat roosting sites could allow the viruses to infect humans or livestock. Did the study find anything else unusual? Yes. The scientists also identified a new protozoan parasite (Klossiella yunnanensis) and a previously unknown bacterial species (Flavobacterium yunnanensis) in significant quantities. This points to a more complex infectome in bats than previously assumed and highlights the importance of multi-organ pathogen surveillance. Could this discovery lead to another pandemic? There is no immediate threat, but virologists are concerned. Dr Tushar Tayal, Consultant, Internal Medicine, CK Birla Hospital, told Business Standard: 'This is a serious reminder that dangerous viruses are still hidden in nature. What's worrying is that this possible urine-based transmission route has not received enough attention.' While there is no proof of an outbreak, the possibility of zoonotic spillover cannot be ruled out. Why are spillovers becoming more frequent? Human encroachment into natural habitats and climate change are increasing contact between wildlife and people. Dr Tayal warns that 'the next pandemic could come from sources we haven't even fully understood yet.' He urges stronger virus tracing, investment in advanced research, and inclusion of wildlife monitoring in public health policy. Where were these bats found? The bats were roosting near fruit orchards close to rural villages—areas where human contact is highly likely. Associate Professor Vinod Balasubramaniam, Molecular Virologist at Monash University Malaysia, noted the significance of this proximity: 'The kidney discovery raises alarm about exposure through contaminated fruit or water.' What steps can prevent future outbreaks? Experts recommend: Expanding surveillance of bat organs—especially kidneys and urine pathways Improving local public health infrastructure Educating communities to wash or cover fruit and boil water Monitoring wildlife as part of national epidemic preparedness
