@TheBettyRubble @Ashwinsampathk You sure living under a Rock...Dowry is a long gone tradition and is mostly followed by Illiterate Greedy Families in India and is actually illegal as just a single FIR can get the whole family in Jail... The girl did not mention dowry in the post 🤡

@Ashwinsampathk Pretty sure her family is paying a huge dowry - isn't that the reason why Indian men to to Indian to marry the highest bidder?

Dream11 wasn’t just a company.
It was a phenomenon.
260M Indians. $8B valuation. India’s first fantasy sports unicorn. Profitable. Globally respected.
And then , finished overnight.
Not by rivals.
Not by bad business.
But by India’s babudom. By bureaucrats who’ve never built anything, never created a single rupee of value yet wield the power to destroy.
One stroke of the pen.
95% revenue gone. Lakhs of livelihoods gone. Investors burnt. A worldm class Indian product killed at its peak.
Talent builds.
Babudom kills.

@arunpudur Do you want to see pics of open defecation in India all across railway lines. Maybe u are proud of that.

@AntidehaatSS @arunpudur @ANONYMO71143305 What good will come by putting down our 'enemies'?
Nothing about calling out indias poor hygiene is propaganda, it's undeniable fact.
USA gets trolled for gun violence, it's not propaganda, it's the truth. Similarly india in general is dirty as hell. If u travell you'll know.

📢
Multivitamin supplements containing beta carotene (20 to 30mg/day) increases the risk of lung🫁cancer among high-risk individuals.
Beta-carotene supplementation increases risk of lung🫁cancer in people who smoke, have smoked, or have occupational exposure to asbestos and may also increase risk of death from cardiovascular🫀events.
Check your supplements.

A person asks Sadhguru, “How much weight training exercise do you recommend?”
And Sadhguru answers, “Weight training is not useful, but do 25-50 Surya-Namaskars, it is complete exercise.”
First of all, I am not sure why anyone would ask someone like Sadhguru, who is most of the time, in another dimension, a question on exercise and weight training.
And secondly, Sadhguru is just plain wrong.
Weight (or strength) training is one of the most important aspects of exercise regimen you can include in your daily or 3-4 times a week physical activity because there is great science behind its benefits.
I advise my obese or sarcopenic (very poor muscle mass in advanced liver disease) patients to include weight training to improve clinical outcomes.
The highest level of scientific evidence showed that standard muscle-strengthening activities were associated with lower risk of death in patients with non-communicable diseases – including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer.
Another metanalysis showed strong evidence for a considerable risk reduction of strength training for 60 minutes a week, on all-cause death (−15%), cardiovascular disease death (−19%), and cancer death (−14%). See here: bjsm.bmj.com/content/56/13/… here ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-…
Sadhguru says the older we get, the better we do not weight train. He is again absolutely wrong.
The findings of another systematic review/metanalysis support power (strength) training as an effective therapeutic intervention for improving physical function in adults diagnosed with frailty (poor physical function in old age) and patients with chronic medical conditions. See here: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.14…
In fact, another study on strength training, this one again a metanalysis, concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for hypertension (!), as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure. See here: nature.com/articles/s4159…
Strength training also reduces significantly, chronic inflammation as shown in another high quality systematic review and meta-analysis. See here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
Resistance/Strength training improved muscle mass and muscle strength, thereby improving performance status. Improved performance status is a wonderful benchmark for an active and healthy life. See here: bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/18/…
Even in fatty liver disease, independent of weight loss, exercise training was associated with 3 and a half times more meaningful treatment response towards lowering liver fat. Strength training is a powerful tool to maintain liver health. See here: journals.lww.com/ajg/abstract/2… and here bjsm.bmj.com/content/52/13/…
Now Surya Namaskar.
Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of around twelve yoga poses connected by jumping or stretching movements, varying somewhat between various Yoga schools – which means, it has no regulation or standardization unlike weight training.
In Iyengar Yoga there is a way, in Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga there is Type A and B and there are other types followed by other schools or Yoga teachers. Along with the stretching and jumping, which is done is a slow and steady manner, the practice includes chanting a “mantra” calling out twelve names of the Sun God.
In its classical form, Surya Namaskar is not an exercise, and is not aerobic. The energy cost of exercise is measured in units of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Less than 3 METs counts as light exercise; 3 to 6 METs is moderate; 6 or over is vigorous. American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association guidelines count periods of at least 10 minutes of moderate MET level activity towards their recommended daily amounts of exercise. For healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the guidelines recommend moderate exercise for 30 minutes five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes three days a week.
Surya Namaskar in its classical form has a measly 2.9 METs and in its rigorous form (some people perform mutated highly active forms of Surya Namaskar to make it feel like an exercise) can go up to 7.4 METs – which requires a lot of jumping and little stretching and no time to chant the Sun God names - does not even come close to strength training by any margin.
Those who are part of the Surya Namaskar and Yoga cult would provide anecdotal experiences on its benefits (please see comment section) through non-classical forms and would call it an “exhilarating experience.” Experiences are not scientific, evidence are. Many Yoga journals and some dubious and third rate Ayurveda journals have also have published on such experiences in small group of patients, which are not validated or published in better journals [like this junk here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…]
There are no metanalysis level data to prove effectiveness of Surya Namaskar as beneficial as aerobic exercise or better than strength training as Sadhguru claims.
Do Surya namaskar if you are doing nothing.
But upgrade to strength training if you want something.
And stop listening to pseudoscience peddlers who speak religion and culture for your healthcare needs.
Sadhguru suffers seriously from Dunning Kruger fallacy: a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs because of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.

@BethanyCherisse The virus is still there and people are still catching it and no doubt still dying from it. The vaccines don’t stop you catching it but they do lessen the effects of it so could save your life.
English

I remember when they told us that everyone who refused the vaccine would end up in the ICU begging for it. Fast-forward 2 years, and as they all go about their lives in perfect health, I've yet to hear a single person regret their decision not to take it. What I have heard is plenty of regret from those who did.

History just keeps repeating itself.
Now it’s repeating even faster.
2020. Ooh a scary virus arrives that only kills. 0.002% of the population, with an average age of death of 82.
Quick, lock down the whole of society, destroy the economy & wreck the NHS.
Anyone that argued against it was a coronavirus denier.
Quick a new deadly DELTA variant has appeared. It still only kills. 0.002% of the population, with an average age of death of 82.
But let’s inject the whole population with a dangerous untested gene therapy that has killed thousands & injured millions.
Who cares that it’s got the worst safety profile in medical history, causing 1 serious injury in every 800 injections.
It’s DELTA for god sake. It kills. 0.002% of the population, with an average age of death of 82.
Anyone that questions this lunacy is an Anti Vaxxer.
Then we had Ukraine. The largest money laundering operation in history. (Conveniently ignoring the Bidens, Bio Labs, Organ Harvesting & Child trafficking).
But hey Russia is bad.
Anyone questioning this is a Putin apologist.
The latest bullshitery is Man Made Climate Change.
The MSM propagandists are spewing lies 24/7 that the world is on fire.
That it’s hotter that it’s ever been & that it’s all their fault.
It makes no iota of difference that their own eyes, history & facts are telling them that it’s utter rubbish.
They believe it.
Anyone questioning it is now labelled a climate denier.
These people will believe anything that’s published by Government, or the MSM.
Cattle, they can’t think for themselves.
These Fuckwits that surround us in society are definitely more dangerous than any concocted deadly danger the MSM & Government are trying to push on us.

@theliverdoc What about other physical Activities like Weight Lifting, Cardio, HIIT ?

Here is a cool healthy liver hack.
Steps.
And lots of it.
Check out the findings of a cool study.
Increased physical activity in the form of daily steps reduced risk of development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD, now called MASLD) as well as chronic liver disease (CLD)
An activity increase of an additional 2,500 steps per day, was associated with a 38% reduction in CLD and a 47% reduction in NAFLD development.
There is something more and it's brilliant.
In those with previously diagnosed CLD, higher physical activity was associated with striking 89% risk reduction in liver-related death and 85% risk reduction in all-cause death (i.e., death due to heart, brain or lung disease etc.)
And so cool - walking an additional 2,500 steps per day was associated with 44% reduction in liver disease progression.
Physical activity has a dose dependent linear association with liver health, development of liver disease and progression of liver disease - the more, the merrier.
Unlike other supposedly cool stuff like alcohol use which has a linear association with death. The more, the
Pick up your 🚶♂️ shoes.
If you are planning to 🏃♂️ the better.

In 2014, YouTuber Kenny Veach claimed he found a strange cave in a Southern Nevada desert that gave off strong vibrations.
On a YouTube video he wrote, "The entrance to the cave was shaped like a perfect capital M. I always enter every cave I find, but as I began to enter this particular cave, my whole body began to vibrate.
The closer I got to the cave entrance, the worse the vibrating became. Suddenly I became very scared and high-tailed it out of there."
One month later, he went back to look for the cave and never returned. He has not been seen nor heard from since.
