    We are always so eager to jump the Γ’trendingΓ’ bandwagon, arenΓ’t we? Right from fashion trends to 'Dalgona' coffee and silly TikTok challenges, we end up giving in to most hashtags that rule our highly Γ’PublicΓ’ social (media) life.
    © Pexels
    So, let me introduce you to yet another Γ’trendΓ’ which has been trending for a few years now. #Sustainability. #SustainableLiving. #SustainableLifestyle. No matter what you wish to call it, itΓ’s all the same and equally promising!Β 

    ItΓ’s hip and much more worthy of your time. Not only will it make you seem Γ’wokeΓ’ and responsible, it comes with the added benefits of improving the quality of your life as well as that of the Earth, all at once.
    So, here are 10 small but effective lifestyle changes that you can make to help the environment and the Earth live better, plus also become very Γ’trendyΓ’:
    1. Say No To Single-Use Plastic © Pexels
    I know youΓ’ve heard enough of this, but trust me when I say it, every time you say no to that plastic straw, plastic cutlery, plastic food packaging, carry bags and a host of other things made out of/covered in single-use plastic, you are not only helping the environment but also saving livesΒ which end up as collateral damage because we love plastic so much in our life.Β 

    2. Carry Reusable Water-Bottles © Pexels
    The idea is to have a bottle of water handy while on the go, and avoid the need to buy plastic cups and water bottles when you are struck by intense thirst while on the road.Β 

    Use and throw cups and bottles not only impact the environment negatively, but also send your health for a toss by injecting toxins into your body.Β 
    Opt for glass or metal-based (ideally steel or copper) water bottles to carry with you at all times.
    3. Practise Basic Recycling © Pexels
    I do not need to tell you why recycling is supremely crucial for EarthΓ’s future, now more than ever. Junior school taught us enough about it, but growing up we forgot the basics. So, here goes.Β 

    RecyclingΒ reduces the generation of avoidable waste, helps conserve EarthΓ’s resources, reduces pollution and saves a ton of energy! By simply recycling this around us, we can heal the Earth!Β 
    4. Bring A Personal Carry Bag © Pexels
    LetΓ’s bring the Γ’jholaΓ’ back in fashion, shall we? Be it a cotton or khadi-based cloth bag, or a jute bag, just ensure you take your own carry bagΒ with you when you go shopping. Be it for veggies, groceries or even clothes. ItΓ’ll also save you a lot of money!

    5. Shop Locally © Pexels
    What this means is, instead of heading to the supermarket, buy stuff from the local sabziwala, doodhwala, or head to the nearest farmerΓ’s market or mandi where you can get fresh, quality produce and pay much less than how much you would at a shopping mart.Β 

    ItΓ’s good for the environment,Β your health and also for some hard-working people trying to earn an honest living.
    6. Opt For Preloved Things © Pexels
    Many of you may not agree with this, but so much goodness often lies hidden in preloved items. This is true especially if youΓ’re looking at decorating items, antiques, furniture, books and even electronics!Β 

    Second-hand itemsΒ are not only less expensive, but also conserve resources, energy and prevent pollution too!
    7. Travel Responsibly © Pexels
    Again, something we are all aware of, but not actively participating in. DonΓ’t wait for Kejriwal to come back with his Odd-Even Rule to get back to carpooling and taking the public transport. Do it otherwise and regularly too.Β 

    Walk where you can, cycle where you canΓ’t and try to reduce the number of times you take out your car and fly someplace as much as you can. Fuel has a significant carbon footprint, which in turn hurts the environment.
    8. Avoid Fast Fashion, Go Indigenous © Pexels
    Changing clothes like changing trends is no longer a healthy practice. From chemical waste production to wastage of water and energy, fast fashion is one of the biggest pollutersΒ after the oil industry.Β 

    Instead, choose indigenous brands and craftsmanship. Wear natural fabrics like cotton, silk, khadi and donate unwanted clothes instead of just throwing them away.Β 
    9. Save & Harvest Water © Pexels
    This is pivotal to any sort of future that we are trying to build on Earth. Water is a basic necessity of life but also one of the most important factors that make life sustainableΒ on this planet.Β 

    So, save water, avoid thoughtless wastage of this life-giving liquid and harvest water if you can.
    10. Use Energy Responsibly © Pexels
    Wastage of energy is another factor that handicaps measures for sustainable living. Avoid unnecessary use of electricity.Β 

    Make use of natural light, opt for LED bulbs instead of CFL. Switch off that light before you leave a room. There is so much you can do really.

    Amid the coronavirus crisis, social distancing and lockdowns across the world seem to be the only effective way to minimise the number of people infected from the disease. However, in such a scenario, things can be a little easy to handle if you live in a multi-crore mansion. We're talking huge spaces so you never get bored of staring at the same walls, big swimming pools, private auditoriums, and stuffed kitchens the size of living rooms so that you never have to complain about the food again. Celebrities are living that life right now.
    From Shah Rukh Khan to Alia Bhatt, these Bollywood celebrities are quarantining in multi-crore mansions.
    1. Shah Rukh Khan © BCCL
    Shah Rukh Khan's self-isolating haven, Mannat, is an iconic 1920s-era structure. It's a 6-storey high, a sea-facing building located at Bandstand in Bandra West.Β  Mannat is equipped with a personal auditorium and specially built rooms for entertainment. Different rooms are based on different themes and the living rooms are filled with accent pieces hand-picked over the years by his wife and well-known interior designer Gauri Khan. Mannat's estimated market value stands at Rs 41.5 crores.

    2. Ajay Devgn © BCCL
    According to Forbes IndiaΓ’s Celebrity 100 list, Ajay Devgn secured the 12th spot with annual earnings of about Rs 94 crore.Β  Ajay Devgn has a whopping net worth of Rs 260 crores. It is not surprising that he's quarantining with his family in the admirable Γ’Shiv Shakti' estate in Juhu. Besides that, he owns another flat in Mumbai. Both combined are estimated to be around Rs 50 Crore.

    3. Karan Johar © BCCL
    Last week, Karan Johar started a new series on Instagram called the 'Lockdown with the Johar's', the series features an Instagram video every day that follows Karan JoharΓ’s kids, Yash and Roohi. It also features Karan's mother, Hiroo Johar. Last week, the kids walked in to Karan JoharΓ’s closet and made fun of all his fashion choices. This brings us to another trivia, the walk-in closet is a part of a double-storey sea-facing flat on Carter road that costs around Rs 32 Crore.

    4. Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas © BCCL
    The couple is quarantining together in their brand-new LA residence. According to Variety, in 2019, the couple spent $20 million on a house in the hilly neighbourhood of Encino in LA, California. One can catch glimpses on the house on their Instagram handles.

    5. Alia Bhatt © BCCL
    After starring in Raazi to making Rs 100 crores, Alia Bhatt has emerged as one of the most bankable actresses in Bollywood. She owns property in Juhu and paid a staggering amount of Rs 13.11 crore for it. The 2,300 sq. ft apartment had a standard rate of Rs 7.86 crores, and this indicates that Alia has paid double the price for it.

    Amid the Coronavirus crisis, where we're still under a nationwide lockdown, TV channels that were previously not doing so well have started getting all-time high ratings.Β 
    This is also courtesy of the introduction of classics like Ramayan and Shaktimaan on DD National that are being re-aired to keep people entertained in their homes.Β 
    The mythological series originally aired during 1987-1988 and became a household staple. An adaptation of ValmikiΓ’s Ramayan and TulsidasΓ’ Ramcharitmanas, the show quickly became a classic that went on to be re-aired multiple times over the years.
    Now that Ramayan is on our televisions again, here's what the cast is up to these days:
    1. Arun Govil as Lord Rama © BCCL
    Deepika started her career with Hindi film, Sun Meri Laila (1983) and worked opposite stars like RajeshΓ’Khanna, but became truly popular after she played Sita in Ramanand SagarΓ’s serial.Β 

    As the female protagonist, she had to prep for the role of Sita with Arun Govil in DD National's Ramayana.

    Sunil Lahri played the role of Lakshman in Ramayan. He was the younger brother of Ram and the son of King Dasharath. He accompanied Ram and Sita when they were exiled.

    Arvind Trivedi played the role of Ravan, who ruled Lanka and is known to have abducted Sita.

    As the coronavirus crisis grapple us all hard, we all have been advised to stay at home. People all across the globe are becoming creative and learning some super amazing tricks to pass their time while dealing with social distancing.
    View this post on Instagram@kapilsharma may have hit the bullΓ’s eye in the world of comedy but did you know he can sing too and this video of him singing is a proof! . . . . . #kapilsharmafan #kapilsharma #kapilsharmajoke #kapilsharmashowΓ° #kapilsharmafans #kapilsharmacomedy #kapilsharmajokes #kapilsharmafc #kapilsharmashow #KapilSharmaSinging #bollywoodfashion #bollywoodlife #bollywoodlove #bollywoodstyle #bollywoodstylefile #bollywoodupdates #instantbollywood #instantbollywoodfashion #igersA post shared by (@ibollyworld)
    Recently, TV star Kapil Sharma also took to Instagram to entertain his fans amid lockdown. It's a known fact that Kapil is a well-known comedian of India and his acts are one of the most reliable ways to stay sane during the lockdown. This time, instead of making a rib-tickling act, he resorted to singing soulful Punjabi songs that included the very famous song Kamli by Gurdaas Mann. Not just that, what shook us is that he was playing the song with a harmonium. Unbelievable, right?

    Not just Kapil, but even Mika Singh took to Instagram and posted several stories of the jamming session. Since they both live in the same building and this seems like the best way to show off their Punjabi side, they both sang straight from their hearts and literally made us miss the outside world. The hashtag #QuarantinePunjabi is now becoming a rage.

    Both Mika and Kapil have organised such jamming sessions together with other singers like Richa Sharma and Kanika Kapoor as well. Just within a few minutes of posting this video, it was flooded with several positive comments.

    Besides all the fun, most of the people from Bollywood have come forward and made several donations to the PM relief fund. The comedian also announced the same and donated Rs 50 Lakh to help the country fight the pandemic.

    It sure looks like a great treat and seems to be the best way to stay sane during the pandemic. But in the end, it is also making us want to step out and enjoy some daaru, while we listen to some Punjabi hits with our bros.

    Indian cricket has witnessed numerous cricketers rising through the ranks and proving their mettle as worthy captains over the years. To put things in perspective, a total of 33 cricketers have led Team India in Tests, 24 have done so in ODIs and six in T20Is so far.Β 

    While Kapil Dev was arguably the first-ever captain to lead Team India to a historic ICC World Cup title in 1983, MS Dhoni managed to better him by winning 2007 World T20, 2011 World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.Β 
    One can also not overlook the reign of Sourav Ganguly who was a catalyst behind India's rising success overseas. And, then, there is the current captain Virat Kohli who has also taken India to new heights.Β 
    © Reuters
    Though many have tried to pick the best Indian captain of all-time, none have managed to find a majority to support their claim.Β 

    Many feel it was Kapil who, in the era of great West Indian challenge, took India to the World Cup title. Some say it's Ganguly for his success as captain overseas. There are a lot who feel it's Dhoni for his success at ICC events. And now, many back Kohli for his contributions as captain.Β 
    But, standing apart from the popular opinions, Gautam Gambhir has surprised everyone by picking Anil Kumble as his all-time favourite Indian captain. He did acknowledge the feats of other great Indian captains including Ganguly and Dhoni, but placed Kumble at the very top of his list, claiming that he would have broken every captaincy record if he was given more time to lead Team India.Β 
    © Reuters
    "Yes MS Dhoni in records point of view, right up there but yes, for me the best captain I've played under is Anil Kumble. Sourav has done really well. One captain that I would have definitely wanted to captain India for a long time is Anil Kumble. I played six Test matches under him probably; he didn't captain India for that long. Had he captained India for a long time, he would have broken a lot of records," Gambhir said during his recent interaction on a Star Sports show.Β 

    Kumble, who was arguably one of the key contributors to Team India during his playing days, took over the reins as captain from Rahul Dravid in 2007.Β 
    He led the Indian cricket team in 14 Tests, against quality sides like Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, winning three matches, losing five and drawing six times. He also led India to victory in a lone ODI in 2001.Β 
    © Reuters
    When compared with other Indian captains, Kumble doesn't stand a chance. Dhoni remains the most successful captain for India in the overall list (Test, ODI & T20I) winning 178 out of 332 games alongside 120 losses, 13 no-results, five ties and 12 draws. He is closely followed by Kohli whose overall wins as captain currently stands at 117 in 181 matches with 47 losses, 10 draws, three ties and four no-results.Β 

    Ganguly is third on the overall list with 97 wins in 195 matches alongside 78 losses, 15 draws, five no-results. When it comes to formats, Dhoni remains the most successful captain for India in both ODIs and T20Is with 110 wins (200 ODIs) and 41 triumphs (71 T20Is) respectively.Β 
    Kohli recently overtook Dhoni as most successful Test captain for India with 33 wins in 55 matches alongside 12 losses and 10 draws.

    Earlier today, Facebook announcedΒ hat it has invested a huge chunk of money to fuel the expansion of JioMart.Β 
    But what exactly is JioMart and how is this going to help any of us? Well, here's everything that you need to know.
    What Is JioMart?JioMart is essentially an online marketplace that connects retailers to consumers. In simple terms, it's a portal where the retailers will list their products for the consumers to browse through and purchase online.
    JioMart, however, won't have any warehouses of its own unlike, say, Amazon or Flipkart. Instead, it'll allow local merchants or Kirana stores to list their products on the portal. You can simply browse and pick the items you like and buy them online.
    © Reuters
    Jio, as we all know, is known for luring customers with attractive offers. The telecom operator made a huge splash in the market back in the day when it launched for the time in 2016. Since then, Jio has now grown to become the #1 telecom operator with most subscribers in the country.Β 

    So, obviously, we can expect some really crazy deals here. The website says "Never seen before savings" already, so we can only expect what's about to come.
    Looks like JioMart will also be offering free delivery and other options like easy returns. It's hard to comment about the service just yet because we haven't had the first-hand experience using JioMart.

    Arguably the biggest names in the world of football, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo share a rivalry like no other in the sport. If Ronaldo creates a record, Messi makes sure he shatters it. When Messi etches his name in the history books for a feat, Ronaldo does something equally amazing to remind everyone why he is the Argentine's biggest competition.Β 

    The fact that these out-of-the-world footballers have shared 10 Ballon d'Or trophies amongst themselves, goes on to highlight their dominance in the beautiful game. It's their intense rivalry, the will to upstage one another that has allowed them to push themselves to a whole different level, leaving others in their wake as mediocre.Β 
    While they continue to upstage one another, answering who's the best between the two has become a major headache for everyone. It's a debate that has not only puzzled fans, but continues to leave former footballers and pundits scratching their heads. While some have supported Ronaldo, others have tipped the scale in Messi's favour.Β 
    © Reuters
    More recently, Ronaldo's former Manchester United teammates Wayne Rooney weighed in on the debate and picked Messi over the Portuguese talisman. "Ronaldo is ruthless in the box, a killer. But Messi will torture you before he kills you. With Messi you just get the impression he is having more fun," Rooney recently wrote in the Sunday Times column.Β 

    While people are bound to have their own opinion, some of the greatest football managers too have weighed in on the debate, revealing their favourite pick between Ronaldo and Messi:Β 
    Alex FergusonΒ  © Reuters
    Often labelled as one of the greatest managers to have ever graced football, Sir Alex Ferguson took Manchester United to new heights during his trophy-laden stint at Old Trafford. The Man Utd legend oversaw the development of numerous budding talents who went on to become the greats of the game.Β 

    Amongst those he managed at United, Ferguson played a key role in shaping up the career of Ronaldo who joined the 'Red Devils' from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, at the age of just 18. Giving his opinion on the Ronaldo vs Messi debate, Ferguson, during his interview in 2016, outlined the difference between the two stars.Β 
    Sir Alex Ferguson explaining the Messi and Ronaldo debate Better than anyone has ever said it. pic.twitter.com/jY6qXJ8mij
    Γ’ A ???? (@IconicCristiano) July 3, 2019 "ItΓ’s interesting to me that we hear so much about two players these days: Ronaldo and Messi. Now donΓ’t get me wrong, Messi is a fantastic player, itΓ’s like heΓ’s wearing slippers when he controls the ball. But here, for me, is the difference. Messi is a Barcelona player. But Ronaldo could play for Stockport County and score a hat trick. He has everything. He can shoot with both feet, head the ball, heΓ’s as brave as a lion, and hereΓ’s something else people overlook," Ferguson was quoted as saying by Sports Illustrated.
    Pep GuardiolaΒ  © Reuters
    One of the greatest managers in the modern era of the sport, Pep Guardiola needs no introduction when it comes to managing a football club.Β 

    A defensive midfielder in his playing days, Guardiola redefined Barcelona with his 'tiki-taka' style of football during his stay at Camp Nou. Today, he stands as the winner of top-flight leagues in Spain, Germany and England.Β 
    During his 11-year stint at Barcelona (first team), Guardiola oversaw the evolution of numerous future greats including Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Messi. It was under his tutelage that the great Barca trio thrived and reached the pinnacle of the sport in their respective careers. For someone who was closely involved in the evolution of Messi, it wasn't surprising to see Guardiola picking the Argentine over Ronaldo.Β 
    "Messi is the best, he is definitely the best. He knows how to play, score and make the other players play. He is always there. With all the respect to all the players, first to Cristiano Ronaldo - congratulations to him for the award (2015 Ballon d'Or) - I think Messi is on another level," Guardiola was quoted as saying by ESPN in 2016.
    Jurgen Klopp © Reuters
    Another modern-day great when it comes to football managers, Jurgen Klopp has come a long way from inspiring the epic turnaround of Borussia Dortmund to becoming a UEFA Champions League winner with Liverpool.Β 

    Today, he ranks amongst the best tacticians in the world of football, often credited with pioneering the resurgence of 'Gegenpressing' in modern football.Β 
    Γ’I have one selfie on my smartphone. ThatΓ’s with Messi. Cristiano was in the room, as well...Γ’ ??

    Γ’ LFCTV (@LFCTV) December 22, 2018 While he might not have managed Ronaldo or Messi, the German manager did weigh in on the much-hyped debate during a Q&A in 2018. Γ’I have only one selfie on my smartphone. ThatΓ’s with Messi. Cristiano Ronaldo was in the room as well,Γ’ Klopp's cheeky response pretty much sums it up.
    Diego SimeoneΒ  © Reuters
    A versatile midfielder who won Copa America in 1991 and 1993 with Argentina, Diego Simeone, post his retirement as a player, has emerged as one of the most effective managers in modern-day football. Starting his managerial career with Argentina's Racing Club, Simeone went on to change the fortunes of Atletico Madrid since his arrival in 2011.Β 

    Given his exploits at Atletico, Simeone has become one of the most respected managers around. Simeone had initially created quite a stir after a leaked WhatsApp clip in 2018 showed him claiming Ronaldo was better than Messi. But, the Atletico Madrid manager soon clarified and seemingly took a U-turn on his opinion.Β 
    "If I had to choose between Messi and Ronaldo then most likely I would choose Messi. Yes I said (Ronaldo) on the video, but the conversation was between me and (Atleti assistant) German Burgos, talking about football as everyone talks about it. When I talked about Messi and Ronaldo, it wasn't from the perspective of who is the best in the world. I just meant that if you have the chance to sign one of them for a normal club, with normal players, Ronaldo would probably fit in better," Simeone was quoted as saying by Goal in 2018.
    Zinedine ZidaneΒ  © Reuters
    Undeniably one of the greatest attacking midfielders during his playing days, Zinedine Zidane was an asset for any team he played for. Some called him "a monster" for his performance and abilities, others labelled him as the greatest talent in the last 20 years of football. Following his retirement as a player, Zidane became just as good a manager when he began his stint at Real Madrid.Β 

    Roped in as a special adviser to 'Los Blancos' first team in 2010, Zidane has emerged as one of the most successful managers os his era and in the history of Real Madrid, winning the UEFA Champions League an unprecedented three times. He also spent a lot of time overseeing Ronaldo's performances in the Portuguese's nine-year stay at Santiago Bernabeu.Β 
    Speaking on the Messi vs Ronaldo debate, Zidane said: "Cristiano is the best. Messi is his rival and it's the rivalry everyone wants to see. But Ronaldo is phenomenal. There are no words to describe him. He is much better than me even though I had a great career. He's the greatest of all time".
    Well, managers will keep chiming in on this eternal debate, however, it seems like there never will be a solid answer to the question: who is the GOAT between Messi and Ronaldo. Of course, their respective fans think otherwise.Β 
    Do let us know in the comments section as to who, in your opinion, is the greatest footballer of the two.

    Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by nearly 2 billion Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Holy Quran. This annual observance, regarded as one of the five pillars of Islam, lasts for 29-30 days based on the visual sightings of the crescent moon. In 2020, Ramadan starts on Thursday, April 23rd and will end on Saturday, May 23rd.Β Β 

    Fasting is obligatory for all adult Muslims from dawn to sunset. Muslims must refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids and any other behaviour that may negate the rewards of fasting. Each day, before dawn Muslims observe a pre-fast meal known as the Γ’SuhurΓ’. The fast-breaking meal at sunset is known as Γ’IftarΓ’.Β 
    The biggest question for all practising Muslims is this: how do we go about practising fasts while still maintaining our yearly physical and athletic goals?Β 
    Rest assured, Ramadan fasting does not negatively affect muscle gain. Read on to find out how you can keep your fasts and maintain your fitness levels.
    Let us first understand the effects of Ramadan fasting on an individual:Β 
    1. The timings of food and drink ingestion may not be optimal due to daylight fasting.
    2. Acute hypohydration occurs during daylight hours especially during bouts of strenuous physical activity in the heat.Β 
    3. Sleep deprivation and disruption to the normal circadian cycles.Β 
    4. Low energy levels due to disruption in food intake.Β 
    Despite these challenges, numerous studies have inferred that exercise or training during Ramadan can in fact help reduce body fat and improve lipid profile. The fast also has no adverse effects whatsoever on the renal function, immune and inflammatory systems.
    In fact, fasting in Ramadan has several health benefits:Β 
    1. Improved mental disciplineΒ 
    2. The potential for restored insulin sensitivity and nutrient partitioning.Β 
    3. Higher growth hormone outputs during the fasts.
    Here are 5 things you can do daily to make the most of the Ramadan fasts, while making sure you do not suffer from muscle loss at all:Β 
    1. DO NOT STOP WORKING OUT © iStock
    As long as you provide your body with the right amount of stimulus, you will not lose muscle mass. Right now, most of us donΓ’t have access to gyms. But even bodyweight workouts at home can help you preserve your precious muscle.Β 

    Tip: Perform each exercise with the full range of motion and take each set to failure. For example, if youΓ’re doing push-ups, make sure you are doing the exercise with perfect form. Do multiple sets of push-ups and in each set, continue doing reps till you experience fatigue and canΓ’t do even more rep. ThatΓ’s how you stimulate the muscles.Β 
    2.Β KEEP A FLEXIBLE TRAINING SCHEDULEΒ  © iStock
    Working out in a fasted state is neither optimal or healthy. Since you are already dehydrated, it can be far too catabolic and you might even pass out.

    Tip: Try to fit in your workouts between Maghrib (Sunset) and Isha (Night) or after Isha (Night) prayers. You can even consider working out right before Suhur in the morning.Β 
    3.Β NUTRITIONAL ADJUSTMENTS © iStock
    This cannot be stressed enough: plan your meals carefully. Ramadan is no excuse to go all out and eat sugar and junk. Getting carried away at Iftar spreads and trying to make up for a long day of fasting is a quick way of getting fat and unhealthy. Adequate protein intake is also of utmost importance. Ensure you get about 1.2 - 2 grams of protein per kilogram of your lean body mass.Β 

    Tip: A few dates as per Sunnah (Practice) will be sufficient to replenish glycogen levels.Β Β 
    4. MACRONUTRIENT INTAKE AND TIMINGSΒ  © iStock
    At Suhur, the ideal foods are slow digesting ones that give you a sense of fullness and provide long-lasting energy. Casein protein, complex carbs and good fats are ideal. Ensure you eat a slow-digesting source of quality protein such as cottage cheese, fats and loads of fibrous foods. That will help keep you satiated and full for longer.Β 

    At Iftar, quickly and fast-absorbing proteins and carbs are ideal when you plan to workout. One of the Sunnah (Practice) is eating dates and water first thing at Iftar. Dates are rich in nutrients unique to enhancing hydration as well as rich in potassium and extremely ideal for quickly replenishing glycogen levels.Β 
    Tip: Consume the bulk of your calories immediately after your workout in your post-workout meal.Β 
    5. WATER INTAKEΒ  © iStock
    Water is vital, as dehydration causes catabolism and muscle loss. Water is also essential for life - cellular functions, organs, your brain and much more depends on hydration. Water also helps digest food which helps provide us with energy, it helps to transport waste out of the body and it is important in controlling body temperature. Fasting in Ramadan especially in the summers will dehydrate you.Β 

    Tip: Load up on water ahead of time.Β 
    Ramadan is a time for reflection and contemplation. I hope these tips will help you stay fit and concentrate on the truly important aspects of this month.
    Ramadan Kareem!Β

    Mahindra Group Chief Anand Mahindra today took to his Twitter account to heap praises on Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani for their recent deal with US tech giant Facebook.Β 

    Calling it as a strong signal of IndiaΓ’s economic importance, he tweeted, Γ’JioΓ’s deal with Facebook is good not just for the two of them. Coming as it does during the virus-crisis, it is a strong signal of IndiaΓ’s economic importance post the crisis.Γ’
