April 28, 2020 Radhika Bose

Who would have imagined a scenario of being in a lockdown because of a pandemic? Probably no one…but here we are. Humanity is faced with a virus that has shaken us to the core. However, with almost 100 crore people stuck indoors, there is a bigger crisis looming- our physical fitness. The crisis is bigger for regular office-goers.

Lessons I Learned From the Delhi Smog In North India, we have come to a point where going out for an evening stroll can be hazardous to your health. Ladies and gentlemen, we are literally breathing in fumes. The Air Quality Index has reached alarming levels and to a point that people have started falling ill.

Fitness Plant Based Protein Powder To Your Rescue !!

August 26, 2017 Radhika Bose

For the longest time I thought that only body builders drank protein shakes. In fact I was of the opinion that they only drank protein shakes with raw eggs in it and flexed their muscles in front of the mirror all day!! Big hulky men obsessing over which protein power is the best!! LOL Suffice to say, not something I was very keen on trying. My fitness style is more holistic and less dependent on supplements and machines. Protein shakes were not my cup of tea. Processed with VSCO with a6 preset But everywhere I went,…

July 24, 2017 Radhika Bose

Monsoon months are the hardest for me when it comes to my line of work and this monsoon season has been one of the worst. With multiple shoots throughout the day and Yoga classes from 6 in the morning, I am completely drained by mid-day. The humidity makes matters worse as I have a tendency of sweating a lot. I can feel all the salts leaving my body. It’s not that I don’t drink enough water, I do and yet I feel dehydrated and fatigued. On certain days, I just can’t move and feel terribly weak. Now we all know…

Fitness My Fitness Mantra

June 29, 2017 Radhika Bose

MY FITNESS MANTRA Fitness and has always been a part of my life. I started working out and eating right from the time I was in school. There isn’t a single diet that I haven’t followed. Be it no carbs, high protein, or only carbs and nothing else. Doing fruit cleanses or a GM diet. By the way, I do not recommend GM to anyone! Invariably, I would skip meals, especially breakfast. I wanted to lose weight quickly, so what better way to do it than to just not eat. Not Eat! – that’s where I got it wrong! I…

Wellness Welcome to Hearing- Cochlear Implants

May 9, 2017 Radhika Bose

The first things Doctors and parents do when a child is born, is to look out for 10 toes, 10 fingers, the squealing cry, a healthy heart beat and the right baby weight. But sometimes the most crucial thing Doctors forget or don’t even consider checking is their hearing ability. Years go by and this disability goes undetected. Imagine a life without sound. Imagine not hearing your own name. We pay so much attention to our other sense organs that hearing is something we take for granted. Hearing disability is most prevalent in the world, but least invested in. How…

Wellness Hidden Hunger- 9/10 kids are at Risk

April 24, 2017 Radhika Bose

What’s Hidden Hunger? 9 out of 10 kids are at risk! While growing up, I don’t think my parents ever checked what nutritional value food products had, also I was a 90’s kid and packaged food wasn’t in vogue. Neither was fast food, nor eating out every other day was the norm. We ate normal ghar ka khana, which was a balanced meal of protein, veggies and carbs. But that’s not the case anymore. We are now more conscious of what we put in our bodies. There is a whole diet industry out there, catering to all sorts of food…
