When workouts stop, energy expenditure drops. However, eating habits do not always adjust at the exact same rate. This creates a calorie excess over time, which leads to fat accumulation instead of muscle maintenance,” said Goyal.Story continue below this adWhat is your routine? (Photo: Freepik). What stands out about his journey is that he chose to restart rather than restrict. “Many people reacting to weight gain with extreme diets or crash plans can further disrupt metabolism and increase cravings. This can lead to muscle loss. Goyal said that gradually reintroducing fitness helps to rebuild lean muscles, improve insulin sensitivity and sustainably restore metabolism balance. “Taking a rest can often lead to guilt or frustration. But approaching the comeback with consistent rather than pressure will make a significant difference. At 47, Jyotika’s high-intensity routine redefines what’s possible for functional fitness: ‘Strength, core, and balance’Nutrition plays an equally crucial role here. “Supporting your workouts with adequate proteins, balanced carbohydrates, as well as proper hydration, will ensure that any weight loss is from fat and not muscle. This phase is a time when skipping meals or eating too little can slow down progress, and negatively impact energy levels. “They’re not linear. There will be phases, pauses and setbacks. The real transformation is in your ability to bounce back stronger every time. Simple. The weight gain is not failure. Goyal said that not restarting was failure.

Recently, 31-year-old actress Disha Parmar opened up about her back problems, revealing she had a slipped disk. “I recently had a slipped disk. L4-L5. It was in poor condition. Even walking was difficult. Even sitting or standing. General movement. I was having a great deal of difficulty. Parmar, in a video posted by her movement coach Niilesh Passty to Instagram, said that she couldn’t imagine working out. She did not reveal the exact cause of her problem but mentioned how working it has helped her. “But my trainer insisted I work out to improve my back. It was painful, but I found it helped. After three months, I can do almost all of the exercises. I am doing weight lifting. My problem is not cured but I am working the muscles nearby to improve my daily function. Some days I feel great, while others are painful. I had to take the medication for 10 days. Now, the problem is gone. I work out regularly. I am working out regularly. After the actor’s revelations, we now understand how working out can help those with slipped disk issues.Dr Sarang Deshpande is a consultant in orthopaedics at KIMS Hospitals Thane. He said that conditions affecting the spine such as disc bulges and herniation often improve with the correct movement. “Pain in the initial phase does not always mean that there is damage. It can be just weak or out of shape muscles that are being activated. Pushing through sharp or intense discomfort without guidance can make matters worse. Why would a doctor or trainer encourage workouts in spite of discomfort?Dr Deshpande explained the spine relies heavily upon surrounding muscles for support. When these muscles, particularly the core and lower-back, are weak, strain is increased on the spine, causing pain and instability. Well-planned exercise can help rebuild this system. As muscle strength increases, pressure on the affected area of the spine decreases. This can greatly reduce symptoms.”

In many cases, it is possible to recover from a chronic illness without taking long-term medications. “Medication is typically used for short-term pain relief and especially during flare-ups. Long-term recovery is often more dependent on rehabilitation than drugs. Dr Deshpande said that strengthening exercises, mobility work and correcting posture are more important in restoring function and preventing repeat problems. Continue reading below this ad. (Photo: AI-Generated)The goal of functional recovery is to enable a person move, exercise and perform daily tasks with minimal discomfort. Kareena Kapoor’s fitness trainer praises actor’s efforts, says ‘that jawline isn’t gifted’What to note?Avoid self-diagnosing or just copying someone else’s workout routine. What works for one person may not work for another. Always seek a proper assessment, including imaging, if needed, and follow a personalized rehab plan. Signs like numbness, weakness, or loss of bladder or bowel control require immediate medical attention,” said Dr Deshpande.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.

Most passengers love their window seats. We asked the experts. We asked the experts. Dr Shareefachause, dermatologist from Dr Shareefa Skin Care Clinic in Mumbai, said window seats expose you to more UV radiation than aisle seats. And it’s not trivial when at cruising height. Aircraft windows block the majority of UVB (the type which causes sunburn), however, a significant amount of UVA penetrates deeper into skin and contributes towards ageing. This article is based upon information that was obtained from the public domain or experts we interviewed. Consult your doctor before beginning any new routine. For occasional travellers, this risk is real but modest, especially on long-haul flight. “But the difference between aisle and window seats is small, and unlikely to have a meaningful health impact on typical travellers. The higher UVA radiation exposure can lead to skin aging and, over time, skin cancer. Carry and apply sunscreen (Photo by Freepik). The overall radiation exposure on a flight is modest and flying occasionally does not increase cancer risk. Why cabin crew ask you to keep the seat in an upright position during takeoff and landing”If you’re on a daytime flight with strong sun exposure, choosing an aisle seat can also reduce direct UV exposure. Before flying, it is important to consult with your dermatologist regarding the right products. Do not neglect your skin and take the best care of it. Moreover, don’t forget to use sunscreen and cover your face,” said Dr Chause.DISCLAIMER This article is based upon information that we obtained from the public domain or experts.

Ankita Konwar described her morning routine in a candid discussion with her husband Milind Soman and her mother-in law Usha Soman. Milind responded, “Like…slapping your face …?” Ankita responded, “Why would you start slapping yourself early in the morning?” Consult your doctor before beginning any new routine. Milind said on Tweak, “I am still asleep while she does all this”. Ankita said, “I move onto other things.” Ankita’s morning routine is structured and intentional. Early rising, mindful practices, movement-based rituals, and hormonal balance can help regulate circadian clock, improve hormonal balance, set a positive mood for the rest the day. Garima Goyal, a dietitian and fitness specialist, said that morning routines such as these can improve productivity, mental clarity and consistency in healthy habits. (Photo: Freepik). One interesting addition to such routines, and also known as Emotional Free Technique (EFT), is tapping. “This involves gently tapping on specific acupressures points while focusing thoughts or affirmations. Although the scientific evidence for tapping is still developing, some studies suggest it may reduce cortisol and perceived stress. Clinically, the biggest benefit is a greater awareness of mind-body. It can help regulate emotions and reduce anxiety-driven morning eating. It should be viewed as a tool to support mental health practices, and not as a replacement. Some people can function better if they wake up earlier, while others may do better with a slightly later schedule. This depends on their sleep pattern, work patterns, and lifestyle. “Adequate sleep quality and duration directly impacts metabolism, hunger hormones such as ghrelin, and even decisions related to food choices. Goyal said that a highly productive morning routine is worthless if it results in sleep deprivation.
