I first tried clove tea at a  friend’s place. Her husband came back from his Asia tour, and had got back some really aromatic spices, including cloves. It’s my friend’s grandmother’s recipe which she used to make every sunday. Ten minutes after having my first sip, I felt a pleasant warmth spread through my belly.  … Read more

I am trying out some new fitness trends, and trying to feel it myself. From the last few days, I have been trying lemon-turmeric water last few days.

I’ll be honest — the first time I tried one of those TikTok “sleepy girl mocktails,” I polished it off right before crawling into bed.

Turns out, it’s readily there, as tossing in a few nuts might actually do you a real favor and prevent stones.  There’s something comforting about a snack that’s … Read more

Every morning, I make coffee with the machine my mom gave me. That first cup is my way of starting a perfect day. The smell hits like a warm hug! Turns out, my simple, black coffee may actually be extending my life. Its the plain old black coffee and not some $9 fancy latte.  Coffee … Read more

I just love chia seeds. I dont know how I came to know about them though. But once I did, I started throwing them onto Smoothies, Puddings, and sometimes, even my coffee (I dont recommend that one!). Everyone online seems to be in love with chia seeds – as a solution to all health problems. … Read more

You know that little voice that says ‘cheese is bad for your heart’? Yeah. I heard it louder. I grew up thinking cheese and butter were pretty much same – cholesterol.
