[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Nov 26, 2008: Ajmal Kasab and Abu Ismail hijacked a Skoda and were racing toward Girgaom Chowpatty after leaving a trail of killings behind them, when Mumbai Police, acting on wireless alerts, set up a naka.

The car sped toward the barricade, police fired, its tyres shot out, screeching to a halt. Ismail jumped out firing wildly, killing a constable before being brought down by police.

Kasab stayed inside, pretending to surrender, stepping out slowly with an AK-47 hidden under his jacket, waiting for someone to come close. ASI Tukaram Omble, a retired Army soldier, rushed forward, only for Kasab to suddenly pull out the rifle and unleash a full burst at point-blank range.

In that split second, Omble grabbed the barrel with his bare hands, taking every shot through his own body and keeping the gun pinned toward himself, denying Kasab the chance to mow down the rest of the team. Those few seconds were enough for the other officers to surround Kasab and capture him alive.

Omble succumbed to the bullets, but his sacrifice ensured the lone surviving terrorist of 26/11 was taken alive, and that's how the entire attempt to twist the attack into “Hindutva terrorism” collapsed in an instant.

ASI (and Naik) Tukaram Omble, Ashok Chakra. Naman. The nation can’t ever be short of gratitude.

🧱 He Didn’t Abandon His Parents, So Vitthala Came to His Door.
When Prabhu Himself arrived, he made Him wait…
And what did Krishna do?
He stood… on a brick… and waited. Forever.
It’s the living soul of Pandharpur, where Vitthala waits for you.
Read till the end, because this story will change how you see devotion, duty, and divinity.

What is life?
• Dostoevsky: It’s hell.
• Socrates: It’s a test.
• Aristotle: It’s the mind.
• Nietzsche: It’s power.
• Freud: It’s death.
• Marx: It’s the idea.
• Picasso: It’s art.
• Gandhi: It’s love.
• Schopenhauer: It’s suffering.
• Bertrand Russell: It’s competition.
• Steve Jobs: It’s faith.
• Einstein: It’s knowledge.
• Stephen Hawking: It’s hope.
• Kafka: It’s just the beginning.

Each one must therefore give life a meaning according to how you one perceive.

At some point in our lives, we all feel the need to be appreciated and valued by the people we love. It's something we strive for, but unfortunately, life doesn't always work that way. There is no one who will always be there for you.

In the end, everything revolves around how you feel about yourself. 🍂

📣Sugar is more terrifying than alcohol 📢

Sugar does not come with labelled warnings
Consumption of sugar can start at any age
Sugar is available everywhere in many forms
Sugar comes hidden in many forms
People are often misled on "healthy sugars"
There is no stigma attached to sugar consumption

Sugar does to the liver what alcohol does too

From children to adults, "Sugar is the new Alcohol"

This beautiful review in @HepCommJournal on "sugar-related liver disease" is maddeningly important

The Impact and Burden of Dietary Sugars on the Liver: https://t.co/GknarRf9Lx

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD (new term: metabolic-dysfunction related steatotic liver disease or MASLD) has multiple causes - BUT - the most important of those, is dietary intake of added sugars.

And the most dangerous of the lot?
Fructose - yes, not sucrose (or table sugar)

Glucose is metabolized by all cells in the body
Fructose is metabolized mostly in liver
Fructose is MORE lipogenic than glucose - meaning it can increase fat formation much higher than glucose inside the liver.

Fructose is particularly problematic since it is the sweetest tasting natural sugar, 1.2–2.0 times sweeter than table sugar. The consumption of fructose has increased by 30% in the last 40 years and by 500% over the last century due to the increased consumption of processed foods/sugar-sweetened drinks.

More fats form inside liver cells, liver cell function gets affected, inflammation inside liver starts, glucose sensitivity reduce, insulin secretion and resistance increase and more glucose forms leading to "hyperglycemia" (as seen in diabetes)

Added sugars in diet play central role in onset and progression of NAFLD.

Recommended intake of added sugars: <5% of total calorie intake! - i.e., 25g or 100 calories in a 2000 calorie per day diet.

Worst of the lot: SSBs or sugar-sweetened beverages, desserts and sweet snacks (bakery and confectionary) and honey - has sugars in form of sucrose, high fructose corn syrup and natural fructose.

Sugar affects body beyond liver too:
- In brain, triggering of reward pathway, promoting "pleasantly excessive" calorie intake - "cant stop eating sugary stuff" feeling - obesity!

- fructose increases appetite by increasing ghrelin (the "hunger" hormone) - "eat more sugar"

- added sugars have habit-forming properties similar to alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, and caffeine

- In muscle - increases muscle fat making muscles weaker and "low quality" - poor stamina/effort intolerance

- Increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, chornic kidney disease

Children (& adults) become unhealthy, have poor muscle quality, are more stressed, develop obesity, fatty liver disease and chronic liver disease, various metabolic illnesses, have high risk for cancers and have poor performance overall - just because of SUGAR.

But is all fructose bad? Like those in fruits?
No. Whole fruits contain fiber and antioxidants, which may protect against the harmful metabolic effects of sugar consumption - have whole fruits/ cut fruits rather than fresh juices or packaged fruit juices.

When children and adults go on a low added sugar diet, especially low fructose diet, liver functions, cardiac health, performance status, overall well being improves drastically.

Remember, sugar is the new alcohol, but without warnings.

A momentous achievement for India at the Asian Games!

The people of India are thrilled that we have reached a remarkable milestone of 100 medals.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to our phenomenal athletes whose efforts have led to this historic milestone for India.

Every awe-inspiring performance has made history and filled our hearts with pride.

I look forward to hosting our Asian Games contingent on the 10th and interacting with our athletes.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before securing a good job.

Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50.
While another became a CEO at 50, and lived to 90 years.

Someone is still single, while someone from his school group has become grandfather.

Obama retired at 55 & Trump started at 70.

Everyone in this world works based on their time zone.

People around you might seem ahead of you & some might seem to be behind you.

But everyone is running their own race, in their own time.

Do not envy them.
They are in their time zone, and you are in yours.

So, relax.

You're not late.
You're not early.
You are very much on time.

[Revant Himatsingka “Food Pharmer” @foodpharmer2]

We measured which soft drink is worst for our teeth!! Anything less than 5 on a PH scale erodes our enamel. Water measures around a 7 on the PH scale. But what about coke, pepsi, sprite, diet coke and fanta?

I collaborated with a senior dentist and we measured the PH level of each soft drink!

The idea to make this video was to remind everyone (especially kids) about the impact of aerated drinks on our teeth! Share!
