How to avoid diabetes is a nutritionist video with tips on simple foods that can stave off diabetes and keep us healthy
How to avoid diabetes is a question every Indian needs to be concerned about, for after all, India is the ‘diabetes capital’ of the world! The sad truth is that with increasingly sedentary lifestyles and the easy availability of high-fat, indulgent foods, more of us are at risk of this disease.
Diabetes has implications for many other aspects of your health too, besides being a dampener on one’s lifestyle by requiring continuous medication and draining one’s energy levels.
In this video from chaiwithlakshmi, we have a nutritionist giving us tips on good foods that can help us fight the onset of diabetes, while keeping our bodies nourished – and our tongues happy!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
