@JapanAmbIndia Please share where you had the biryani

Enjoyed authentic Hyderabadi biryani during visit to Telangana! Amazed by its rich spices and bold flavors — “truly addictive!”😄

@hyderabaddoctor My daily average in the past year has been around 25 floors, don't have access to high rise building for going up continuously, so I use 56 stairs up and down for 30-40 mins

Stair climbing is an effective form of exercise ▶️I live in a high-rise building. Climbed 27 floors yesterday (though Garmin counted 25!). I make sure to use stairs at least once a week to reach my flat. Stair climbing is one of the most effective, accessible, and time-efficient exercises. Here are the key benefits: ✅Physical Health Benefits 1. Cardiovascular fitness – Raises heart rate, strengthens heart and lungs, and improves circulation. 2. Muscle strength – Works major muscle groups (quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves). 3. Bone health – Weight-bearing activity that helps maintain bone density, lowering osteoporosis risk. 4. Weight management – Burns more calories per minute than walking or jogging on level ground. 5. Improved balance & coordination – Engages core and stabilizer muscles, reducing fall risk. 6. Regular practice improves lipid profile and lowers blood pressure. 7. Better glucose metabolism – Improves insulin sensitivity, useful in diabetes prevention. ✅Neurological & Cognitive Benefits 1. Stroke and dementia risk reduction – By improving vascular health and cerebral blood flow. 2. Boosts mood & reduces stress – Releases endorphins, helps counter anxiety and depression. 3. Cognitive sharpness – Regular aerobic activity supports memory and executive function. ✅Practical Benefits 1. Time-efficient – Just a few minutes daily provides cardiovascular and strength benefits. 2. Accessible – No equipment or special training required. 3. Scalable – Intensity can be adjusted (speed, number of steps, duration). 4. Incorporates into daily routine – Using stairs instead of elevators adds incidental exercise. ✅ Take-home message: Stair climbing is a powerful form of exercise, combining aerobic fitness, strength training, and balance work in one activity. Even a few minutes daily lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis. What is the optimum number of stairs to climb? ▶️If you are a beginner, start with 1-2 flights of stairs (20-40 stair steps). ▶️As you become trained, you can aim for 5-10 flights of stairs. Who should be more careful while climbing stairs? Climbing stairs are safe for most, however, certain groups of people should be careful: 1. Obese 2. Those with osteoarthritis of knees 3. Those with balance issues or peripheral neuropathy 4. Old and frail individuals 5. Those with severe heart or lung diseases 6. Those who have undergone surgeries in the recent past. (Note: If you have any difficulty while climbing stairs, or if you are suffering from a medical illness, consult your physician)

@hyderabaddoctor That's really nice, I tried a long run a few days back, still working on increasing pace and reducing heart rate, will try again this weekend

Enjoyed today's 10 k run in the rain this morning. Drizzle + cool breeze made the run more relaxing, resulting in a reasonably lower average HR of 123 bpm (for 5:42 min/Km pace).

@hyderabaddoctor That's nice, my daily average has been 39 floors in the past 4 weeks, I use climbing stairs as an workout if I don't exercise in the morning,

▶️Average of >20,000 steps; and 31 floors climbed- per day in the past 7 days. ▶️In addition to walking and running, hospital rounds (wards and ICUs spread over five floors) also significantly contributed to the step and floor (climbed) counts.

@hyderabaddoctor I have taken you as inspiration and been trying to lower hr and increase pace, I think I have to put more effort

Enjoyed a 10-mile (16 Km) run on a lovely Sunday morning. It gets warmer after 7 AM, so, adequate hydration is important during longer runs.

@DrKristieLeong I use the Kirkland brand available at Costco, tried the one at trader Joe's, but the one at Costco is more thicker I think

@srinmarp I use oat milk myself. I would look for a brand with no added sugar.

Did you know adding sugar to your coffee can spike blood sugar and increase inflammation? Swap it out for monk fruit or stevia without erythritol additives, and consider going organic for an even healthier cup! #HealthyCoffee

@hyderabaddoctor I guess your daily running has not changed in all those years, Do you had to take any medications for cholesterol and Hb1AC

Many things changed from 2014 to 2024 ✅Weight reduced from about 100 to 71 ✅Resting HR reduced from 70-75 to 40-45 bpm ✅HbA1C dropped from 6 to 4.9% ✅HDL cholesterol increased from 32 to 52 ✅Triglyceride reduced from 300 to 43 ✅Wardrobe completely changed Lifestyle changes ✅Sleep duration increased from 5 to 7.5 hours, ✅Changed sleep type to "sleep early and get up early" (10:30 PM to 6 AM now, earlier 1 AM to 6 AM), ✅Reduced carbohydrates, increased proteins, ✅Regular running/walking (since 2020) ✅Strength training (since 2022) Only one thing has not changed from 2014 to 2024: Any guesses? #transformation #weightlossjourney #sleep #exercise

@DrKristieLeong Is coconut oil suitable for high-temperature cooking?

Confused about cooking oils? Maybe this will help: Types of Fats in Oils: Polyunsaturated Fats: Found in common seed oils like sunflower, safflower, corn, and soybean oils. These oils are liquid at room temperature due to their molecular structure. Monounsaturated Fats: Contains a single double bond. Olive oil and avocado oils are examples. Saturated Fats: Found in animal products and some plant oils like coconut oil. They are solid at room temperature due to their stable structure. Health Risks of Common Cooking Oils: Polyunsaturated Oils: Recent research suggests they release toxic, cancer-causing aldehydes when you heat them. (especially deep frying) Omega-6 Fatty Acids: These are abundant in so-called vegetable and seed oils and can promote inflammation, a process linked to heart disease and other health issues. The modern diet tends to have an unhealthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, as high as 20:1 when it should be 2-3:1. Impact of Processing: Manufacturers subject seed oils to extensive processing including bleaching, deodorization, and high heat. This leads to potentially toxic compounds ending up in the oil. Then they package them in plastic bottles with the risk of plasticizer leaching into the oil. Recommendations for Healthier Alternatives: Olive Oil (preferably EVOO): Recommended for low-temperature cooking and raw applications due to its monounsaturated fats. Avocado Oil: Suitable for high-temperature cooking and contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, like olive oil. Avoid oils high in polyunsaturated fats such as cottonseed, corn, canola, soybean, peanut, sunflower, safflower, and grapeseed oils. Margarine: Highly processed and usually high in polyunsaturated fats. Avoid this product even if it's marketed as heart healthy. It's not.

@portals_org What are the timings for newyork portal

We are building technology art sculptures called Portals. They connect to a network of identical sculptures all over the planet. 1/5

@sanjayborra @HiHyderabad Wow, nice, you reminded me of public gardens, living in Abids, I used to visit every day during my school holidays for a jog/walk,

If you are looking for quiet place in the city to pause, think or reflect , spend some time in the natural sorroundings of Public Garden. #Hyderabad

@DrKristieLeong The first thing I do after waking up from sleep is drink water, does adding lemon have any extra benefits

Start the morning with a glass or two of water to help prevent blood clots. Drinking adequate water thins the blood and enhances circulation. Blood tends to thicken while you sleep, raising clot risk. Having water first thing upon waking counteracts this. #health

@SatyaAnagani @ncbn @SatyaAnagani congratulations, very happy to hear the news,

నాపై నమ్మకంతో రెవిన్యూ శాఖ మంత్రిగా అవకాశం కల్పించిన ఎన్డీఏ కూటమి ప్రభుత్వానికి రాష్ట్ర ముఖ్యమంత్రివర్యులు శ్రీ @ncbn గారికి నా హృదయ పూర్వక ధన్యవాదాలు.. #AnaganiSatyaPrasad #AndhraPradesh

@hyderabaddoctor @Landline557928 @rashmi_sudhir4 I meant to ask if working out/physical activity helps to keep cholesterol levels in check even while eating eggs?

@Landline557928 @rashmi_sudhir4 I have 2-4 whole eggs per day.

A part of my breakfast today. In addition, I had two small plain dosa with peanut chutney too. Courtesy: @rashmi_sudhir4 ❤️

@hyderabaddoctor @Landline557928 @rashmi_sudhir4 But do they not increase the cholesterol levels, or since you work pit and that helps

@saaiyer So basically an egg is more beneficial than yogurt, good to know

Nothing comes close to meat and eggs. 400g of Amul high protein is 25.2 grams of protein @ Rs.70 In the same Rs. 70 you will get 14 regular eggs totalling to 84g of protein plus all the other micronutrients present in the egg yolks which are not there in curd. The satiety of 14 eggs and the nutrition is incomparable to any 'high protein' curd.

@noorg420 @saaiyer All food is yummy

@saaiyer Honestly Indian food is so yummy

A snap shot of how my clients eat on an Indian low carb protocol. 1. Protein is the hero of every meal. 2. No naked carbs 3. Veggies as desired 4. Curd and yogurt 5. Lowered carb intake automatically Try it please.

@saaiyer What's the source of protein in plant based foods

Please take it slow today, New Jersey! Many parts of the state are seeing snowfall and heavier snowfall is on the way. Stay home if you can, and if you must travel, go slow and maintain a safe following distance. #WinterReadyNJ

@GovMurphy Please focus on NJ

The only viable long-term plan for a lasting peace in the region is a two-state solution. Period.
