The rainbow diet: Health benefits of coloured fruits and vegetables

From white, the brightest orange, to the deepest purple — make your meals and snacks as colourful as possible. Each colour provides unique health benefits and no one colour is superior to another, which is why a balance of all colours is most important. The ultimate goal of a ‘rainbow diet’ is to add 30 plus different colourful fruits and vegetables to your meals every week. Just plan for one colourful plant-based food at every meal and instead of rich, sugary treats after the meals or for between-meal snacks, use fresh fruits to satisfy the sweet tooth. Read on to learn more about the health benefits of coloured fruits and vegetables.

The millennial revolution with the sari

Sari has been termed as one of the most feminine garments by many of the recognised designers of our time, from Maheen Khan to Chondona Dewan, and this very garment which has been worn by our grandmothers and our mothers could have naturally lost its charm with time, especially with the Gen Z. Surprisingly, quite the opposite happened!

How to discover your true self in winter

Is winter always about letting the cold waves trigger the darkness in one's heart? We say, no. Winter can also be an aspirational season filled with self-love, gratitude, restarts, healing and so much more. We spend our entire lives fighting the demons inside of our heads. We spend hours, days, and months trying to come to terms with our true selves. However, when the time comes to heal and move forward, we step back and lean on things or people who are not meant to be our companions. This journey is about our own selves. It is about finding peace within the boundaries of self-awareness.
