  • Unlocking the nutritional secrets: The magic of millets for optimal health

    Unlocking the nutritional secrets: The magic of millets for optimal health

    While having adequate health coverage is essential, we sometimes overlook the critical role nutrition plays in maintaining good health.

    What are millets?

    Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses that have been cultivated for thousands of years, primarily in Africa and Asia. They are incredibly diverse, with various types like finger millet, pearl millet, foxtail millet and sorghum, just to name a few. These tiny grains pack a powerful nutritional punch and they’ve been a dietary staple for many cultures throughout history.

    Millets: Nature’s nutritional powerhouses

    1. Rich in nutrients

    Millets are a group of small-seeded grasses that have been cultivated for thousands of years, primarily in Africa and Asia. Millets are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy throughout the day. Millets are also a good source of B vitamins, particularly niacin (vitamin B3) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6), which are crucial for metabolism and overall well-being.

    2. High in fibre

    Fibre is essential for digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. One of the standout features of millets is their high fibre content. Millets, with their abundant fibre, can aid in preventing constipation and promoting a healthy gut microbiome, which is increasingly recognized as a key factor in overall health.

    3. Gluten-free

    For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, millets are a fantastic alternative to wheat and other gluten-containing grains. They are naturally gluten-free, making them a safe choice.

    4. Antioxidant-rich

    Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Millets are loaded with antioxidants, including polyphenols and tannins.

    Health benefits

    1. Weight management

    The combination of fibre and complex carbohydrates in millets helps control appetite and keeps you feeling full for longer periods. Millets for weight loss can be a valuable asset for individuals looking to manage their weight, potentially leading to lower health insurance premiums as maintaining a healthy weight is often associated with lower health risks.

    2. Diabetes management

    Millets have a low glycemic index, meaning they don’t cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. Millets for health makes them an excellent choice for individuals with diabetes. Better blood sugar management can lead to reduced healthcare costs associated with diabetes.

    3. Heart health

    A healthier heart can translate to fewer heart-related medical expenses. The fibre, antioxidants and potassium in millets all contribute to heart health. These grains can help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels and support overall cardiovascular well-being.

    4. Bone health

    Millets are a good source of magnesium and phosphorus, essential minerals for maintaining strong bones and teeth. Including millet in your diet can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis, potentially reducing the need for costly orthopaedic treatments.

    Incorporating millet into your diet

    Now that we’ve uncovered the nutritional secrets of millet, you may be wondering how to enjoy these grains in your daily meals. Here are some delicious and easy ways to incorporate millet into your diet:

    ∙    Start your day with a warm bowl of millet porridge, similar to oatmeal. Add your favourite toppings like fruits, nuts and honey for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast that can support your overall health and health insurance policy.

    ∙    Substitute millets for rice in your favourite pilaf or fried rice recipe. Their nutty flavour and fluffy texture work wonderfully.

    ∙    Use millet flour to make gluten-free baked goods like bread, muffins and pancakes.

    ∙    Prepare a refreshing millet salad with diced vegetables. This makes for a perfect side dish or a light lunch option that aligns with your health insurance goals.

    Conclusion

    Millets are more than just a nutritious grain; they can be a valuable ally in your quest for optimal health, which in turn can positively impact your health insurance. Incorporating millets into your diet, can harness the nutritional secrets they offer and potentially reduce the healthcare costs associated with chronic diseases. Good health isn’t just about comprehensive insurance plans, it’s about the choices you make every day to safeguard your well-being. So, why not give millets a try and experience the magic for yourself? 
     

  • China Expands Global Technological Ecosystem Efforts with Open-Source Blockchain Network and AI Modeling Platform

    China Expands Global Technological Ecosystem Efforts with Open-Source Blockchain Network and AI Modeling Platform

    China has been making significant strides in its efforts to create global technological ecosystems, with recent developments including the launch of a global blockchain network and an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) modeling platform. These initiatives, as reported on the WatcherTechno website, are part of China’s ongoing endeavors to bolster its economy after periods of lockdown and disruption. The nation’s government and tech sector have been collaborating to spur economic growth and innovation, with announcements of multi-trillion-dollar plans for high-tech infrastructure development and strategic investments from tech giants Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent.

    While China aims to rival the United States in technological leadership, it’s also investing in initiatives aimed at fostering global ecosystems. In the past week, two key announcements have been made to further this goal: the Chinese government unveiled the international Blockchain Service Network (BSN), and Zhejiang University in Eastern China launched the open-source AI platform named Dubhe.

    The Blockchain Service Network (BSN), a government-led project developed by Beijing Red Date Technology, has announced plans to deploy its international network starting August 10th. The BSN’s mission is to enable decentralized application (dapp) developers to create new blockchain applications as easily as assembling Lego bricks, thereby fostering a rapid development of a global ecosystem for developers and users alike.

    As states WatcherTechno, BSN data centers are now integrated with six major decentralized blockchains: Tezos, NEO, Nervos, IRIS net Cosmos, Ethereum, and EOS. Developers on these public networks can deploy nodes and applications using BSN’s data storage, bandwidth, and other resources.

    It’s worth noting that resistance from some governmental members within BSN to adding six international blockchains has led to the network’s division into BSN-China and BSN-International. However, this is unlikely to impede the overall progress of BSN.

    Meanwhile, Zhejiang Lab launched the open-source AI platform Dubhe on Saturday, aiming to create a powerful modeling platform that fosters a collaborative global AI ecosystem and accelerates the development of machine learning models.

    Named after Dubhe, one of the seven bright stars forming the Big Dipper and a symbol of wisdom in Chinese culture, the platform offers research and development teams four main advantages: a high-performance basic computing environment, a comprehensive AI development toolkit, integration of AI model deployment across Edge, Cloud, and terminals, and an intelligent collaborative execution system.

    Developed by nearly 100 researchers, the project is supported by numerous partners, including Alibaba Cloud, Ant Financial, Hikvision, Sense Time, Deep Glint, China Construction Bank, Ant Work, and Ecovacs Robotics. Zhejiang Lab itself was founded in 2017 by the Chinese government, Zhejiang University, and Alibaba Group.

    The open-source AI platform is designed for six key research and development areas: intelligent vision, intelligent transportation, intelligent finance, smart cities, intelligent healthcare, and intelligent robots. Its foundational structure provides access to embedded machine learning models and vast volumes of big data.

    While it remains uncertain whether the development of global ecosystems will raise similar concerns among Dubhe members, as observed with BSN, the presence of multiple state-involved stakeholders may elevate the risk of conflicting interests.

    Ecosystem-driven endeavors led by Chinese tech companies, naturally, encounter fewer political hurdles. For instance, multinational company Baidu launched its open-source autonomous driving platform, Apollo, in 2017, which has since become the world’s largest open-source autonomous driving platform, counting BMW, Ford Motor Co, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Honda among its partners.

    Irrespective of ownership and structure, China’s growing number of initiatives in open technological platforms positions it to increasingly engage researchers, developers, and enterprises worldwide in technological ecosystems under China’s guidance.  
     

  • Out of times: Does Men22+ AB TG matter to TV news advertisers anymore?

    Out of times: Does Men22+ AB TG matter to TV news advertisers anymore?

    Mumbai: India’s rapid growth in the last decade or so has made advertisers look at data sets beyond the conventional ones that were the market standards during the 90s.

    With the gender gap diminishing and India’s millennial and Gen Z generations getting more savvy even in smaller towns, advertisers now prefer to target a broader set of audiences, especially when it comes to the English TV news genre.

    Maximum growth of consumer durables, electronics and cars is now happening in the towns that have less than 10 lakh population and the age group pushing these sales is fairly young with both men and women participating in equal numbers.

    As per a media planner, “The new India now exists beyond 10 L + towns. So, the advertisers now want to put in their money on TV news channels that provide a wider reach. They look at a broad based TG when they’re doing media planning. Smaller cuts like Men 22+AB or only mega cities don’t make any sense now. Even from the data stability point of view broader cuts are preferred. A broad based TG ensures stability of data and is the true test of leadership and not just convenient cuts of data.”

    These indicators do not matter on digital at all.

    As per the BARC data for the last 54 weeks, CNN-News18 has captured 35.3% market share.

    “The reach and audiences of CNN-News18 give unparalleled results to advertisers as compared to the other channels. As elections approach, our monies would solidly be on the industry leader. The broader cut of TG provides a lot more data stability,” an advertiser said on the condition of anonymity.

    On the digital front, CNN-News18 has captured a whopping 1.4 billion views on YouTube, surpassing all of its competitors. (Source: Socialblade) 

  • From House Exit to Licious Infiniti: Cyrus Broacha Shares ‘Infinite’ Insights Amidst Friends’ Heartfelt Backing

    From House Exit to Licious Infiniti: Cyrus Broacha Shares ‘Infinite’ Insights Amidst Friends’ Heartfelt Backing

    After posting a cryptic video yesterday and leaving his fans and followers wanting to know more, on why exactly did he leave  the coveted ‘house’, Cyrus Broacha has finally opened up in a latest video posted on his Instagram today. Bashing all speculation and squashing all bizarre reasons about his exit, he decided to let us in on his little secret – the one and only reason Cyrus left the house is because Licious launched its reward-based program Licious Infiniti! Yes you heard that right. A visibly overjoyed Cyrus adds how he was more than happy to leave that house and come to his own house, as he has been enjoying juicy, delicious Licious products ever since. Clearly an offer he couldn’t refuse, Licious Infiniti is also the reason why he was enjoying his second plate of chicken tangdis at the time of posting this video.

    “I left mid-season because my favorite meat brand – Licious launched their reward program – Licious Infiniti! Being a hardcore meat lover, my friends, this is just an offer that  I could not refuse!,” says Cyrus. “It’s no secret I love my fresh meats & seafood, and it’s also no secret that I love money! Withthe LiciousInfiniti rewards program, it’s cash benefits on every purchase of meat. No limit!!!” he added in his post copy. As soon as Cyrus posted, his close friends as well as other ex-housemates came forth in his support. Cyrus’ very close friend and actor, food writer Kunal Vijaykar posted on his Insta handle stating Cyrus’ exit wasn’t to avoid drama, but it was in fact because probably Cyrus realized he is better at handling chicken wings than he is at handling tasks. He wondered if Cyrus was now touring Europe from the savings he made from Licious Infiniti. Heading off to sign-up on Licious Infiniti himself, Kunal jokingly added that he has made peace with the knowledge that he’s Cyrus’ second best friend because meat is obviously his first!

    “When one of the funniest guys I know – Cyrus Broacha, ne house se exit le liya mujhe toh laga ke boss.. Definitely kuch badahuahai…maamle me kuch toh gadbadhai. Phir Cyrus explained recently ke it was because of Licious Infiniti. Ahhh I got it. Brothe… FULL SUPPORT! I mean… picture this.. Ek bandar jo subah mein kebab pav, lunch meinmurghmusallam, aur dinner mein mutton chaap…who wouldn’t want to enjoy all these amazingly tasty dishes and the benefits that come with it!” said famous Indian actor, Karan Kundraa on a reel posted on his Instagram.

    Television actress, model and ex-housemate, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary was approached by paps on her way to a shoot and asked for a reaction to why Cyrus left the house. While she said she’s been hounded by these questions, she finally feels it’s time to respond. She goes on to applaud Cyrus for his wisdom to choose Licious Infiniti and have his priorities in place. She goes on to add that maybe if she was made such an offer, she would have left the house as well! She too had a little secret to reveal – that she’s already signed up to Licious Infiniti and is now enjoying fish fillet, crispy chicken and more. Watch her video post here. Likewise, another ex-housemate, actress and model Jasmine Bhasin posted saying she wishes she had the jiger to prioritize and focus on what truly makes her happy, much like what Cyrus has done. She adds how Licious Infiniti is a sheer delight for anyone who loves to eat mutton korma and fish fry everyday – like herself – and that too with endless benefits. She concludes her post with indicating that thankfully Licious Infiniti wasn’t around when she was in the house, else maybe she too would have waved goodbye and made an exit – all for Licious Infiniti.

    Now that Cyrus’ followers and viewers finally know the real reason, they also must know that Licious recently celebrated their 8-year anniversary and has launched Licious Infiniti as a token of gratitude for its consumers. The reward-based program is exclusively available on the Licious App and as the name suggests, offers infinite benefits in the form of assured 10% cashback, free delivery and money back guarantee. With absolutely no terms & conditions attached, the more you order through Licious Infiniti, the more rewards you earn. So head to the Licious App now, join Licious Infiniti and like Cyrus, start enjoying meaty benefits that go on and on and on…!

  • How to download favorite music to an iPhone?

    How to download favorite music to an iPhone?

    If you’ve ever wondered how to download music to your iPhone or how to download music to your iPhone for free, you’ve come to the right place. Due to the departure of many music labels and the suspension of some streaming services, this question has become more acute than ever. So how do you save your music collection accumulated over the years? How do you download music to your iPhone that is on your computer? Can I download music to my iPhone from the Internet directly into my phone? Now we’ll tell you about everything.

    We need downloaded music on our smartphones, not only for personal use. In many media and digital careers today, music is a necessary assistant for creating a better and more exciting product. It complements your promotional videos for social networks or vlogs and becomes a pleasant background for your presentation. So we decided to select the best resources with free music downloads for iPhone owners, so you can visit Bollywood to play, exercise, and do your chores with your favorite music!

     The difficulties of the iPhone in terms of downloading music

    It is believed that downloading music to the iPhone is a challenging process. Many users think they can’t download anything to their iPhone and can only buy music or pay for subscriptions. It has long been wrong. Apple has yet to allow you to download anything to your smartphone fully, but it has dramatically simplified the process. There are three main ways to download music to your iPhone.

    Download music from streaming services or buy

    This method suits those who still have a subscription to Apple Music or other music services. It can also be used if you’ve found an option to top up your Apple ID or if you’re paying via a mobile number from one of your mobile operators. Then you can download tracks from the streaming service app.

    When you download tracks from Apple Music, they are saved to your smartphone’s internal memory and become available for offline listening – without the Internet. But from time to time, the apps need a network connection to check your subscription status. Once they find that your subscription has expired or that you forgot to pay for it, you won’t be able to listen to your downloaded music anymore. Instead, it will be locked away in your phone until your subscription is renewed.

    If you want your music to stay with you forever, go to the iTunes Store app on your smartphone, find the artist you want, and buy your favorite song or album. Purchased tracks are automatically downloaded to your phone and stay with you forever. However, if you’re going to avoid buying music, read on Baccarat.

    How to download music to your iPhone via iTunes and Apple Music

    Suppose you’ve had a massive collection of music accumulated over the years on your computer hard drive, or you recently downloaded the complete discography of your favorite artist and want it to appear on your iPhone. First of all, in the settings of your smartphone in the “Music” section, you need to turn on the “Synchronize Media Library” checkbox. Then you do the same in the iTunes app on your Windows computer or in the Music app on macOS.

    Then all the tracks and albums you’ve downloaded to iTunes or music will go to your iPhone – wirelessly, via the cloud, to your Apple Music collection. Then you can download the tracks you want to your phone memory from the app.

    This method is suitable for anyone who wants to legalize their collection and plans to access it from any Apple device. If the metadata of your tracks matches with the Apple Music service, the missing tags will be added, and the correct album art will be loaded, and so on. The main disadvantage, in this case, is that the tracks remain tied to your Apple Music subscription, and you will not be able to listen to them if your subscription runs out. It’s also important to remember that not all file formats are supported by iTunes – apart from tracks in MP3, AAC, WAV, AIFF, and Apple Lossless (ALAC 16 bit/44.1 kHz and 24 bit/48 kHz), you can’t download anything. You will either have to convert the tracks to a suitable format (e.g., FLAC to ALAC) or search for appropriate arrangements online.

    What if you want to listen to music without being tethered to the cloud, like in the good old days? To download music directly to your iPhone without tethering to Apple Music, you first need to turn off the cloud media library on your smartphone (uncheck the “Synchronize Media Library” box in the Music settings) and do the same on your computer.

    Then you need to download all the music you want in the iTunes app for PC or Music for Mac, and then connect your iPhone by wire. Then you choose which songs and albums you want to download to your smartphone and click the “Sync” button. You can also click the “Autofill” button if you’re going to transfer your entire collection to your smartphone at once.

    The main disadvantage is losing access to your cloud-based Apple Music library. The main plus – is you’ll get access to all your music without the Internet.

     Downloading music in the Files app

    ● There’s another way that only a few people know about. The Files app appeared in iOS a few firmware versions ago. It is a piece of the closed file system of the iPhone, accessible to the user and combined with cloud storage iCloud Drive or Google Drive, which you can connect and use as additional or primary storage.

    ● The main secret is that in this application, you can store music in any format and quantity – including tracks in FLAC format and albums packed in ZIP archives.

    ● To download music directly to your phone from any site or file-sharing site, click “Download” the song, album, or archive where you found it. Then you need to go to the “Downloads” section of Safari browser and save the downloaded music to “Files” by selecting the storage location – cloud storage or iPhone memory. You can listen to any track without being connected to the online, cloud, Apple Music, or other services.
    ●    The main disadvantage is that you’ll have to play all the songs simultaneously. You won’t be able to listen to them one by one since “Files” doesn’t have a full-fledged player with support for queuing or shuffling files. The main plus is that you can download anything from anywhere and listen to it whenever possible.
    Now you know how to download a song to your iPhone, add pieces to the media library on your iPhone or save music to files on your iPhone – all three ways work, are tested, and are not complicated.
