Speaking to Bombay Times, the actress explained that the decision was mutual and taken with maturity. She said, “It’s very recent. It is mutual and we are very mature humans. We’re more than family. It just doesn’t go in my head that it is done because so many years of my life I’ve known this person.”

Simple further expressed that she finds it difficult to detach emotionally. “I don’t know how people detach. It doesn’t happen in my mind. I live with love, and I walk through my life with a lot of love, a lot of happiness, and a lot of spiritual awareness. This is how I live,” she shared.

I miss him at times, but we have a great understanding, and our bond is very strong. At the end of the day, it is all about compatibility and balancing your life. While he is away, I am also able to focus on my career, so it is a happy work-life balance for both of us.”

On the professional front, Simple was last seen in Ziddi Dil Maane Na in 2022.

One woman’s nighttime routine helped her lose over 70 kgs. These 4 easy habits improved her health, sleep, and overall well-being.

For many, losing weight can feel like an uphill battle, with countless diets, hours at the gym, and still little progress on the scale. Often, the key isn’t extreme measures but small, consistent habits that fit seamlessly into daily life. A woman named Kate Daniel completely transformed her life in just two years, shedding over 70 kg. In an Instagram post, she revealed how adopting 4 simple nighttime habits helped her lose weight.

1. Stop treating your body as a bin

She says, “I’m not a garbage bin, so I had to stop treating myself like one. If I’m full, it’s waste whether I eat it or toss it, even the kids’ leftovers. The difference is whether I carry it on my body.”

2. Organise what ‘tomorrow me’ needs

Kate shares, “Whether it’s grabbing a prepped meal from the freezer or throwing something together, I make sure everything I need for work is ready to go. It stops me from ‘winging it’ and losing the daily decision battle before the day even starts.”

3. 3 wins, 3 challenges, 3 actions

According to her, “This simple practice locks in gratitude, focus, and intention before sleep. It clears mental clutter, so I don’t just sleep better, I wake up ready and positive, changing the way I approach my day.”

4. Remove potential barriers

She explains, “I fill my water bottle and lay out my workout gear the night before. It’s not about willpower, it’s automation. A visual cue that removes excuses before my brain even tries to find them.”

Cardiologist Dr Alok Chopra emphasises the importance of gut health for heart health, sharing lifestyle tips to prevent bloating and improve overall well-being.

Your gut health is equally important to maintain your overall health. Moreover, a compromised gut impacts the functioning of your heart, too. According to a March 2017 study, changes in the composition of gut microbiota have been linked to hypertension, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and even type 2 diabetes mellitus.

In an Instagram post shared on August 29, Dr Alok Chopra, a cardiologist and functional medicine expert, stressed the important role of gut in ensuring your heart stays healthy. He also shared a few simple lifestyle hacks that can ensure your gut stays in the best shape by avoiding bloating. Let’s find out what Dr Chopra said.

Simple lifestyle hacks to avoid bloating

Sharing the lifestyle hacks, Dr Chopra captioned the post, “As a cardiologist and functional medicine expert, I’ve seen how gut health impacts overall health—including your heart. These simple lifestyle habits can help you beat post-meal bloating and feel your best.” Here’s what he suggested to avoid bloating:

  • Eat slowly and mindfully: Chew thoroughly to support digestion.
  • Avoid carbonated drinks: They trap excess gas in your system.
  • Watch portion sizes: Overeating can put stress on the gut.
  • Limit gas-producing foods: Like beans, lentils, and cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage).
  • Take a gentle walk after meals: It helps reduce gas buildup and aids digestion.
  • Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water keeps digestion smooth.

Can gut health impact your heart?

According to a report by the Johns Hopkins Medicine Organisation, experts have suspected a connection between gut health and heart health, and recent research adds evidence, finding that changes in certain types of gut bacteria are associated with high blood pressure, lower levels of HDL or “good” cholesterol, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes, and heart failure. Having the wrong balance of bugs may mean more byproducts that raise cholesterol levels and harm blood vessels.

French biochemist shares the ‘easiest way to reduce blood sugar spikes’: Do this simple 5–10 minute exercise after meals | Health

Managing blood sugar levels can be a daily challenge, especially for people with diabetes or those at risk. Jessie Inchauspé, French biochemist and New York Times bestselling author, shares in her August 25 Instagram post how simple techniques like ‘calf raises’ can help reduce blood sugar spikes and support better glucose control. (Also read: Fitness coach shares the best exercise to regulate blood sugar and lower diabetes risk: ‘Building muscle is key’ )

Simple calf raises help lower blood sugar spikes after meals, says Biochemist.

How to do calf raises to lower glucose

“Just eaten a donut or a big bowl of pasta? Try this: Feet on the ground, lift your heels up and down. This makes your soleus muscle (hiding in your calf) contract, helping soak up the glucose from your bloodstream. And boom, smaller glucose spike,” Jessie wrote in the caption.

In a video, Jessie explains, “The soluup pushup or the calf raise, imagine you’re at your desk, at work, or at school, wherever you’ve eaten something really high in carbs. Here is the easiest and most discreet way you can lower the glucose spike at that meal. You simply put your feet on the ground and go up and down, keeping your shoes on, for 5–10 minutes.”

Jessie shares the benefits of this exercise: “Your calves contain a muscle called the soleus, which studies have shown is especially good at soaking up glucose from the bloodstream after we eat.”

What are the benefits

Quoting the study, she explains, “The study, called ‘A Potent Physiological Method to Magnify and Sustain Cellulose Oxidative Metabolism Improves Glucose and Lipid Regulation,’ asked participants to do calf pushups or raises for five hours. That’s a lot, of course, but here’s what they found: five hours of calf raises reduced post-meal glucose spikes by 52% and lowered extra insulin levels by 60%.”

She clarifies, “We don’t have to do this for 5 hours. Even doing 10 minutes can have a strong impact. In my own test, I compared a pain au chocolat with and without 10 minutes of calf raises. The glucose spike was much smaller with the exercise, and it’s very discreet. It’s very, very easy. I recommend you test this out.”

Loved by fashion people everywhere, I’ve put together a how-to on the best way to layer basics. With style inspiration from stylist Marianne Smyth, Oslo-based fashion person Nnenna Echem, and style enthusiast Amaka Hamelijnck, you can trust you’re in good hands.

Woman shares how she healed her gut after 10 years of struggle with this simple hack, calls it ‘best-kept secret’ | Health

From better immunity to balanced hormones, gut health influences so much more than just digestion. But when it’s out of balance, the struggle can feel never-ending. After battling with her gut health for a decade, a woman named Kelci Cundiff found an unexpectedly simple solution that worked when nothing else did.

Check out simple steps to heal leaky gut and boost health. (Shutterstock)

What’s the root cause of gut issues?

In her July 28 Instagram post, Kelci shared, “This changed my gut health so fast I was in shock! I waited to share it because I honestly couldn’t believe it, but now I feel like I’m sitting on the best-kept secret to gut health!”

Explaining further, she said, “To heal your gut, you must focus on healing leaky gut, which, unfortunately, most of us struggle with today due to seed oils, chemicals, medications, stress, and environmental toxins. If you’re dealing with gut issues, it’s a good idea to identify which of these stressors might be your main trigger.”

According to Kelci, leaky gut is often responsible for a wide range of health concerns: “food intolerances, allergies, hormone imbalances, inflammation, mood dysregulation, blood sugar issues, the list goes on.”

How can you heal leaky gut?

She also shared the simple steps that worked for her to heal leaky gut:

1. Improve mobility (how fast food moves through your gut)

“Inulin fibre is my favourite. I take about a tablespoon every day, it not only keeps me regular but also feeds the best bacteria in my gut,” says Kelci.

2. Repair the gut lining

She adds, “Do this by strengthening the gut’s mucosal lining with herbs like marshmallow root, liquorice root, and slippery elm (these are SO effective!). Also, take a high-quality collagen supplement, it provides the building blocks needed to restore your gut lining.”
