‘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.

Bhagyashree's protein patties will satisfy your healthy breakfast cravings
Bhagyashree believes good health starts at the kitchen. In her weekly series Tuesday Tips with B, the Bollywood star shared a simple recipe for preotein-rich patties that will satiate your hunger cravings without compromising on nutrition. 'Yummy yummy snacks jo hain protein se bharee..' shared the veteran actor in a recent video uploaded on Instagram. Here's a quick recipe for you to make them at home: Madhvi Datwani, the CEO and co-founder of Green Protein told that pea protein is derived from split peas, a kind of lentil, and is used as a supplement, in protein shakes, smoothies, energy beverages, and more. Rich in enzymes: Pea protein is great at providing you with a strong and steady supply of enzymes that your body uses to produce energy, transport nutrients, and more. A consistent amount helps your body carry out key tasks with ease. Furthermore, pea protein is easy on the gut. Less allergy risk: Naturally vegan and gluten-free, pea protein is devoid of any allergy-causing ingredients. It's free of wheat, eggs, peanuts, and contains just pure pea. It works with all diets. It can be quite appetising as well. Reduces blood pressure: The protein from peas helps reduce cholesterol and even lowers blood pressure, all while being easy on the kidneys. It's great for those with underlying heart conditions. Pea protein is also free of some pesky additions found in whey or traditional sources of protein. Weight loss: It helps regulate appetite and aids in weight loss. It's a low-calorie item that's devoid of harmful and unhealthy fats. It's likely to keep you full for longer. Sharing insights into the nutritional profile of the snack, CV Aishwarya, a clinical nutritionist and lecturer at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Chennai, told that green peas are rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants such as polyphenols, which help regulate blood sugar, support digestion, and reduce oxidative stress. 'Paneer, a dairy product high in casein protein, provides essential amino acids and is a great source of calcium and phosphorus, aiding in bone strength and muscle maintenance. It also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been associated with improved body composition and metabolic health,' she said. According to her, ginger, known for its bioactive compounds like gingerols and shogaols, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It supports digestion, reduces nausea, and improves insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial in managing type 2 diabetes. Aishwarya added that green chillies, rich in capsaicin, can boost metabolism, enhance fat oxidation, and provide a strong dose of vitamin C, promoting immune function. Oats powder, high in beta-glucan (a soluble fiber), helps lower LDL cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels, and improve satiety, contributing to heart and metabolic health. Lastly, she added that ghee (clarified butter) is a source of healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), and contains butyrate—a short-chain fatty acid known to support gut health and reduce inflammation.
