Your gut doesn’t need a dramatic reset every week.
Sometimes, it needs one tiny habit you can actually repeat.
A spoon of fermented food with a meal can be a simple way to support gut diversity, digestion, and your immune rhythm over time.
I’m vegan and lactose intolerant, so I personally choose plant-based options like kanji, fermented vegetables, vegan kimchi, sauerkraut, or plant-based live-culture yogurt. If you tolerate dairy, traditional dahi with live cultures can also be an option.
The key is not excess. It is consistency.
Start small. Pick what suits your body. Make it part of your plate.

Can you comfortably hold a normal breath for 20 seconds?
Try it—but remember what this challenge means and what it does not mean.
It may help you notice whether your breathing feels calm, tense or uncomfortable. It cannot diagnose lung disease or rule out lung cancer.
On World Lung Cancer Day, pay attention to persistent changes such as a worsening cough, unexplained breathlessness, chest pain, coughing up blood, weight loss or repeated chest infections. These symptoms can have many causes, but they deserve proper evaluation rather than guesswork.
Use the challenge to become more aware of your breath—not to replace a medical check.
We are often quick to call fatigue, brain fog, weakness or forgetfulness “just ageing.”
But vitamin B12 deficiency can sometimes look remarkably similar - and unlike age, it may be identifiable and treatable.
That does not mean every tired person needs supplements. It means persistent symptoms deserve a proper conversation and, when clinically appropriate, a simple blood test rather than an assumption.
B12 deficiency is especially worth discussing in older adults, vegetarians and vegans, people taking certain long-term medications, and those with absorption problems.
Don’t self-diagnose. But don’t let “I’m getting older” become the end of the investigation either.
Share this with someone who has been feeling unusually tired or foggy lately.
Sunday Hack: Don’t change the meal. Change the order. 🥗 → 🫘 → 🍚
Try this simple sequence:
1. Fibre first - salad or vegetables 2. Protein next - paneer, tofu, dal, beans or curd 3. Carbs last - rice, roti or bread
The same foods, eaten in a smarter order, may help soften the post-meal glucose rise.
Research, particularly in people with type 2 diabetes, suggests that eating vegetables and protein before carbohydrates can reduce post-meal glucose excursions.
It is not permission to overeat, and the quality of the entire plate still matters. Think of it as a small upgrade - not a nutritional loophole.
Could you remember this sequence at your next meal?...
When we met at TEDx, “Nims Dai” Purja talked about his mission to do the 14 peaks. He was someone who inspired us to higher heights and really talked about the risks and rewards of mountaineering.
It’s a real tragedy and he will be sorely missed. All respect and condolences to
A 20-second breath hold can start awareness - not give a diagnosis.
It cannot measure lung age or screen for cancer. On #WorldLungCancerDay, notice changes: persistent cough, chest pain, breathlessness or coughing blood deserve medical review.
The suit is the fantasy.
The habits are the real superpower.
Awareness helps you catch the early signals.
Connection gives you a stronger web.
Movement keeps your world open.
Recovery prepares you for another round.
Consistency turns choices into health.
Mouth taping is having a moment.
But no hack can replace a poor sleep routine.
Start with the basics: dim lights, regular bedtime, fewer screens, calmer evenings.
Your body already has a detox system.
It’s called your liver, kidneys, gut, lungs, and skin.
Support them with balanced meals, hydration, sleep, and movement - not panic cleanses.
