Why 5 minutes of sun makes your mood better
“One of my most important rules in life is to take time to soak in the morning sun. I have been talking about the incredible benefits of being in the sun for more than 15 years now, and I encourage people, especially those burdened with excessive thoughts and laziness, to wake up, go out and stay under the sun, with no distractions. Not only does the sun create life, but it also nourishes life. It helps us thrive. We were born under the sun, we grew up with food made by the sun and we ourselves cannot survive without sunlight. So why do we give it such less importance in our lives?”, says Radhika Iyer, founder of Anahata Organics and…

Menopause drug can fight malaria, CCMB study reveals
Hyderabad: A drug widely used for the treatment of post-menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis among women now has the potential to treat malaria. In a ground-breaking study, researchers from Hyderabad-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have demonstrated that Bazedoxifene is anti-parasitic and inhibits Plasmodium falciparum, the unicellular protozoan parasite that causes malaria in humans. The researchers, led by senior principal scientist Dr Puran Singh Sijwali, have shown in the study that Bazedoxifene has ‘potent inhibitory activity against both susceptible and drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum’. Since Bazedoxifene is already in clinical use for the treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis, the findings by the CCMB researchers have supported the need to repurpose the drug as an anti-malarial. The study was published in…
