Gastroenterologist rates popular Indian snacks based on gut health impact; this is where your favourite rank | Health News

Published by Parlour News

Gastroenterologist Dr Pal Manickam has shared his rankings for 10 Indian snacks based on their impact on gut health. From 10 to 1 (worst to best), he has ranked popular options like momos, bhujia, namkeen and pani puri, and we reached out to health experts to verify his claims. While it is hard to generalise the recommendations for everyone, here’s a more nuanced breakdown of these snacking options: 10. Pani Puri “More than the fried puri, the underlying risk could be the water contamination for gut health. Although the spices in the pani have mild antimicrobial properties, it is not strong enough to protect from infections. If you have a sensitive gut, then ensure you get the pani puris from a reliable outlet,” said Meenu Balaji, chief nutritionist at Pragmatic Nutrition, Chennai. According to her, if the oil used for frying puri has been reused, then it can produce free radicals and aldehydes, which are harmful. Healthier alternative: Make at home, adjust the spice level according to your tolerance. Story continues below this ad 9. …

The Delicious World of Khasi Tea-time Snacks

The Delicious World of Khasi Tea-time Snacks

Published by Webster

We ate putharo as children, flat, saucer-sized, steamed rice cakes, slathered with something sweet, honey, virulently pink Kissan jam, or wolfed down with doh nei ïong (black sesame pork). And on rare occasions, pukhlieñ, a deep-fried rice ball sweetened with jaggery, crisp on the outside and soft and spongy on the inside. My years spent away from Shillong meant they fell out of my dining habits and my life. Even when I visited home, I wouldn’t really go looking for them. The treats we sought were more “exotic” and “exciting”, cream buns, chocolate tarts, Danish pastries, honey cake.  Jingbam Khasi only revealed themselves to me over the pandemic years. As did home. In the winter of 2021, I was in Shillong on my own, enjoying being here as I hadn’t before, re-discovering what it meant to be in these hills. For so long, me and many others had been told by our parents and elders that “home” anywhere in the northeast wasn’t good enough—here meant “trouble”, curfews, few employment opportunities, political instability—and that to make …

Abhishek Bachchan shares his hack on preserving snacks from hostelmates

Published by Webster

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who will be soon seen in the upcoming movie ‘I Want To Talk’, has a hidden talent. The actor recently appeared on the latest episode of the quiz-based reality show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, hosted by his father, veteran Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, and surprised him as he said that he doesn’t eat Bhujiya but drinks it. As a flabbergasted Big B looked at his son, Abhishek said that since he stayed in a boarding school, any snack had to be carefully preserved from his hostelmates. And that’s when he came up with the trick of putting Bhujiya in a glass, and act out as if he is drinking water when he was actually relishing on Bhujiya. He told Big B on the show, “Let me tell you, I don`t eat Bhujiya, I drink Bhujiya. This is because when I was in boarding school, we didn`t have any bowls or spoons”. He further mentioned, “We used to get a glass which we used to drink water in. We used to keep our …
