Effervescent Tablets. Not everyone knows about them. Well, we’re here to tell you the whole story. At least from our perspective. WHAT IS A COLD DRINK? WHAT IS A SOFT DRINK?I ask it to my friends who drink them. And most of them do not have an answer.HOW DO YOU DECIDE IF A COLD DRINK IS YOUR FAVOURITE?Some say that they like it sweet. Some like it because of its fizz. Another segment of them likes it because of the instant gush of energy they give.WHAT CAUSES FIZZ?WHAT GIVES THIS INSTANT GUSH OF ENERGY?Let’s bring some chemistry here.Baking soda is a weaker version of Sodium Bicarbonate (Alkaline/Base)When you mix Sodium Bicarbonate with Citric Acid, you get some fizz. This is because of Sodium Citrate (salt), water and carbon dioxide.The reaction where an acid and a base react with each other and produce salt is known as a neutralization reaction. C6H807 (Citric Acid) + 3NaHCO3 aq (Sodium Bicarbonate, Alkaline/Base) -> 3H20 (Water) + 3CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + Na3C6H5O7 (Sodium Citrate, a salt)This is what makes your cold drink.Try it yourself.Lemon has citric acid. Baking soda is a weaker version of Sodium Bicarbonate (Alkaline/Base). You mix the two. What you get is some fizz and a lemonade. Fizz in every cold drink generates from Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate’s reaction. The only difference is that the industrial counterparts are stronger. And if you think making a lemonade is hectic, what is stopping you from trying our EAZY DIGEST EFFERVESCENT tablets? By the way, did you have the answers to the questions I asked above? The Science Behind EAZY DIGEST In fact, not just EAZY DIGEST. This is the fact about effervescent tablets in general. I mentioned EAZY DIGEST just for eyeballs. It is our most popular product, afterall. To digest food well, the liquid in your stomach must be acidic. The stomach has it. It is the Hydrochloric Acid or HCl. It is so strong that it can melt a steel blade. And HCl is not the only thing over there. There’re many digestive enzymes of which, the list is long. But the catch is, too much acidity leads to indigestion. To counteract acidity, we have to introduce base or alkali in the stomach. We call substances of such nature as ‘antacids’. Usually, a combination of citric acid and sodium bicarbonate is a good antacid. I discussed more on it in my previous post. You can read it to know more. Do check our EAZY DIGEST Tablets on Hasitnutrition[dot]com. It has charmed people to such an extent that wherever in our network it has gone, we’ve got repeating orders.–       Lemon Flavour–       Digestive Enzymes–       Added Vitamins–       EffervescenceThese are what make it a good choice over any regular soft drink. Understanding Cure All and Proprietary Medicines When I read history, I find the concept of Cure-All Medication very interesting. How it evolved to Patent Medicine, Proprietary Medicine or as you call it Over-the-Counter Medication is also worth knowing. Let’s study the ailments of an average person throughout the year. He would mostly be sick of the following ailments-–       Fever–       Cold–       Cough–       Diarrhoea–       Gas–       Acidity–       Stomach ache–       Headache And you can count them. Most of the times, you can cure such ailments with rest, detox, sunlight and some home remedies. This was the concept of Cure-All Medicines. Modern medical sciences soon receded from this end and started developing more specific medications for specific issues. But some combinations that one does not need a doctor’s prescription for have always been popular. We call them Patent or Proprietary Medicines. And it is true, the combination of Citric Acid and Sodium Bicarbonate is a magical solution. Our Effervescent tablets working on the same lines. An interesting example So many readers expressed their curiosity to know more about Cure-All Medicines and Proprietary Medicines. Let’s take another interesting example to understand. I like eating Churans. These are Ayurvedic formulae in the form of powdered combinations that promote digestion. On their labels, they write ‘AYURVEDIC PROPRIETARY MEDICINE’. Mostly, for convenience, they come in ball like shapes. Many of these manufacturing units are in parts of Rajasthan like Jaipur and Bhilwara. But I do not buy and consume them for digestion. I have a healthy gut. I consume it because-–       I find it tasty.–       It works like an appetizer for me.–       If I feel sick or uneasy, it comes handy. Take the same example of Mango and Lemon pickles common in north-Indian households.–       They’re tasty.–       They’re digestive.–       They work like appetizers.–       When we feel sick, we can have them to feel fresh.–       After two years or more of fermentation, they can be blended and given a candy like shape to consume like a churan.–       After five or more years, they can be sundried and blended into a Masala.–       A pickle fermented for years can be a good topical application when a bee or any toxic insect stings. So, you see. The combination is one. But it has multiple uses. The same goes with Cure-all formulae. The Electrolytic Perspective Remember back in eighth grade when we learned about electrolysis? Well, our body has a process of electrolysis of its own. A few days back, we were working on a formula of Electrolytes when I connected the dots. It must have been long since you have passed the eighth grade. Let’s revise how electrolysis works. In a solution, there are two electrodes. The positive electrode is called cathode, while the negative electrode is called anode. When an electric current passes through the solution, the compound in it breaks into ions. The positive ions, also known as cations are attracted to anode. On the other hand, the negative ions, also known as anions are attracted to cathode. For example, in a salt solution, the salt compound breaks down into the positively charged sodium ions (Na+), which are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode). On the other hand, the negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) are drawn to the positive electrode (anode). These ions are parties to electrolysis and are thus also known as electrolytes. Coming to the cellular level, electrolytes constantly move in and out of our

Knee pains and weak bones can make it difficult to move around and enjoy everyday activities. Luckily, Ayurveda and Nutraceuticals can provide natural and effective relief. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of health conditions, including knee pains and bone health. According to Ayurveda, knee pains are caused by an imbalance in the Vata dosha, one of the three energies that govern our bodily functions. To alleviate knee pain and promote overall joint health, Ayurveda recommends a combination of herbal remedies, lifestyle changes, and specific yoga poses. One of the key Ayurvedic herbs for reducing knee pain and improving joint health is “Guggulu.” This herb is known for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and is often used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other joint conditions. Another effective Ayurvedic herb is “Ashwagandha,” which is known for its ability to reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility. In addition to herbal remedies, Ayurveda also recommends certain lifestyle changes to help alleviate knee pain and improve bone health. These include avoiding foods that aggravate Vata, such as dry, cold, and light foods and getting regular exercise, especially those that are low impact on joints and practicing yoga and meditation. Nutraceuticals, which include vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements, can also be very effective in reducing knee pain and promoting bone health. One important nutrient for bone health is Calcium, which is essential for maintaining bone density and strength. Calcium supplements can be taken, but it’s also important to include calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified cereals in your diet. Another important nutrient for joint health is Glucosamine, a natural compound that is found in the body, which is known to reduce pain and improve mobility in people with osteoarthritis. It is also found in supplements and can be taken to achieve desired result. Other Supplements such as Vitamin D and Vitamin K, play a key role in maintaining the health of the bones and can be taken as a supplement to achieve desired results. Lastly, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic health condition, before taking any supplements. In conclusion, Ayurveda and Nutraceuticals offer natural and effective ways to reduce knee pains and promote overall bone health. By incorporating Ayurvedic herbs, lifestyle changes, and specific supplements into your daily routine, you can alleviate knee pain and improve your bone health.

Allergies are a common health concern that affects millions of people worldwide. It is an overreaction of the immune system to certain substances, known as allergens, that are harmless to most people. Symptoms of allergies can range from mild to severe and can include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and difficulty breathing. In this blog post, we will take an Ayurvedic and Nutraceutical perspective on allergies and explore natural ways to manage and reduce symptoms. From an Ayurvedic perspective, allergies are caused by an imbalance in the immune system, specifically the aggravation of the Vata dosha. This can cause the body to overreact to allergens, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and difficulty breathing. Ayurveda suggests that diet and lifestyle changes can help to balance the Vata dosha, and reduce allergy symptoms. One Ayurvedic approach to managing allergies is to focus on eating a diet that is balanced for your specific dosha. For example, if you have a Vata imbalance, it is recommended to eat warm, cooked foods, and avoid cold and raw foods, as they can aggravate the condition. Additionally, incorporating foods such as ginger, turmeric, and ghee in your diet can also help to reduce allergy symptoms. From a Nutraceutical perspective, certain supplements and herbs may be beneficial in reducing allergy symptoms. For example, quercetin, a bioflavonoid, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties, which can help to reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. Vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids are also supplements that may be helpful in managing allergies, as they play an important role in the health of the immune system. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, like yoga and meditation and avoiding triggers can also be helpful in managing allergies. Cleaning your house and avoiding exposure to allergens such as pet dander, mold, and dust, can also help to reduce symptoms of allergies.

A blocked nose can be a real nuisance and can make it difficult to breathe, sleep, and go about your daily activities. The good news is that Ayurveda and Nutraceuticals can provide natural and effective relief from nasal congestion. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of health conditions, including nasal congestion. According to Ayurveda, a blocked nose is caused by an accumulation of Kapha, one of the three doshas or energies that govern our bodily functions. To unclog the nose and restore balance to the body, Ayurveda recommends a combination of herbal remedies, lifestyle changes, and specific breathing exercises. One of the key Ayurvedic herbs for relieving nasal congestion is called “Bharangi.” This herb is known for its decongestant and anti-inflammatory properties, and is often used to treat sinusitis and other respiratory conditions. Another effective Ayurvedic herb is “Sitopaladi,” which is a blend of licorice, nutmeg, and other herbs that helps to clear the nasal passages and improve breathing. In addition to herbal remedies, Ayurveda also recommends certain lifestyle changes to help relieve nasal congestion. These include avoiding heavy and greasy foods, getting regular exercise, and practicing nasal irrigation with saline water to flush out mucus and pollutants. It’s also important to practice good sleep hygiene and getting enough rest is a key factor to keep your nasal passages healthy. Nutraceuticals, which include vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements, can also be very effective in treating nasal congestion. One important nutrient for nasal health is vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that helps to reduce inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Vitamin C supplements can also help to reduce the severity and duration of colds and other respiratory infections, which can cause nasal congestion. Another important nutrient for nasal health is quercetin, a flavonoid that can be found in many fruits and vegetables. Quercetin has anti-inflammatory and antihistamine properties and is well known for its ability to relieve nasal congestion and other allergy symptoms. Quercetin supplements can also be taken to achieve desired result. Another natural supplement that is known for its decongestant properties is Bromelain, which is an enzyme derived from pineapples, it helps to break down mucus and reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. Lastly, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a chronic health condition, before taking any supplements. In conclusion, Ayurveda and Nutraceuticals offer natural and effective ways to relieve nasal congestion and promote overall nasal health. By incorporating Ayurvedic herbs, lifestyle changes, and specific supplements into your daily routine, you can breathe easy and say goodbye to blocked noses.

Acidity, also known as acid reflux or heartburn, is a common digestive disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest or throat. Acidity can be a debilitating condition that affects your daily life, causing discomfort and impacting your ability to enjoy food and activities. In this blog post, we will take an Ayurvedic and Nutraceutical perspective on acidity and explore natural ways to manage and reduce symptoms. From an Ayurvedic perspective, acidity is caused by an imbalance in the digestive fire, or Agni, in the stomach. When the Agni is weak, it is unable to properly digest food, leading to the buildup of acid in the stomach and the flowing back into the esophagus. Ayurveda suggests that diet and lifestyle changes can help restore balance to the Agni and alleviate acidity symptoms. One Ayurvedic approach to managing acidity is to focus on eating easy-to-digest, high-quality food. This includes a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, while avoiding processed and heavy foods. Additionally, incorporating ginger, fennel, and coriander in your diet can also help to alleviate acidity symptoms. From a Nutraceutical perspective, certain supplements and herbs may be beneficial in reducing acidity symptoms. For example, deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) has been shown to provide relief from acid reflux by promoting the healing of the mucous membranes in the stomach and esophagus. Probiotics have also been found to be beneficial in reducing acid reflux symptoms by promoting healthy gut bacteria. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and stress management techniques like yoga and meditation can also be helpful in managing acidity. Avoiding triggers such as certain foods, alcohol and nicotine and losing weight if you are overweight or obese, can also help to reduce symptoms of acidity. To conclude, acidity is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it can be debilitating, acidity can be managed and reduced through a combination of Ayurvedic and Nutraceutical approaches. Eating a balanced, easy-to-digest diet, incorporating ginger, fennel, and coriander in your diet and using natural supplements such as DGL and probiotics can all help to alleviate acidity symptoms. Additionally, stress management and avoiding triggers can also help in reducing acidity symptoms.

Hence, we advise that you consider a doctor if you have any medical condition.

Effervescence? What is this? Ever tried a soft drink? We all do. What is so good about soft drinks? It is either taste or fizz. What causes this fizz? There’s a science behind this. Fizz is the slang for effervescence. Now, you’ll ask us. What is effervescence? Effervescence is the discharge of gas from an aqueous solution and the subsequent foaming or fizzing. The Latin verb fervere (to boil), followed by the adverb ex, is the source of the English word effervescence. Its linguistic origins are the same as those of the word fermentation. When a block of limestone is exposed to hydrochloric acid in the lab, effervescence is frequently observed. Carbon dioxide will bubble up if some marble pieces or an antacid tablet are placed in hydrochloric acid in a test tube with a bung. This process is generally depicted by the reaction, in which a pressurised dilute solution of carbonic acid in water decompresses and releases gaseous carbon dioxide. In layman’s terms, it is the result of a chemical reaction in a liquid that produces a gaseous product. Talking about Effervescents Let’s come to the point. What are effervescents? Effervescents are such compounds which make use of the property of effervescence. What happens is that you drop it in the water and BOOM! The water is fizzy. There are plenty of such options available. You can find various such powders and tablets. You cannot carry soft drinks with you. Yet, you can carry effervescents. Even, let’s keep this aside.

You achieve what you strive for. Goals. That you have set the goal means that you have increased your chances of achieving by 50%. Which way, young man? Every person needs to set some goals. However, following are seven goals you must set for your lifestyle. Cultural Goals What in this world has a better understanding of your demographics than your culture? You culture has been in place since hundreds and thousands of years. Now, it is upon you that it stays in the same dignitary position in the lives of your posterity. We have distanced ourselves considerably from our culture. Count the advent of globalization as a reason behind. Hence, list some cultural goals in your diary. Social Goals None of our statements on social goals can match how well Susan Pinker explained in her TED Talk published on 4th September 2017. Having a sound social life is the key towards longevity. Isolation is a silent killer. Many small town youngsters are lured of glamorous metro city lives but start facing the problem of isolation. Get married. Start a family. You will not know what isolation is. Live with your parents and grandparents. Have some friends. Meet your relatives. Celebrate festivals together. This is the most basic thing to start. Mental Health Goals Mental health awareness is real. However, making it a means to seek validation online is unreal. This in fact brings disrepute to people who actually need help. It suppresses their voices from being amplified enough. If you need help, seek help. Following are some ways that can help you help your mental health. Fix your life overall Have a designated time when you are not going to touch any phone. You are not going to watch the TV either. Have a designated sleeping time. Minimize distractions during this duration. You’ll wake up fresh. Nothing can match this energy replenishment. Journal This way you have clear cut things to do every day, week and month. Upon completion, you have a sense of accomplishment. By writing things down, you have ease at remembering them. You do not get frustrated at your memory. Yoga and Meditation Join some classes about this. Will help you a great deal. Read We discourage binge reading. This is just another hype. We recommend sorting through the rough and grabbing the insights out of that one single book. You can also join a public library. That will also fulfil your social goals. Physical Health Goals Count this as both Physical and Mental Health Goals. A healthy mind resides in healthy body only. Diet Feed your body right. Acquaint yourself with the basics of balanced diet and RDA. If you are not able to fix them with daily diet, opt for some supplements. As simple as that. Even if you are not in a position to reach that diet, counting your fast food as trash will help you a great deal. Play Sports. You’ll feel playful all the day. Your social goals would also be fulfilled. Pick up any sport available. Any open space can work. Else, join a sports club in the neighbourhood. Early Morning Activities Ask your friend to join you on a morning walk. Or you can go cycling. There’s nothing that can stop you. Only you can. Join a gym. Undergo a program and see how fast you change. Get big. We know it is unreasonable to get Greek god aesthetics within a month. Yet, a journey of thousand miles begins with a single step. Emotional Fix your emotions. Next, fix your behaviour. No one in this world can defeat you. If you fix yourself in the first place, you have less regrets to live with. Straight trees are cut first. Religious Goals Visit the temple, if you are free. Plan pilgrimages. Pray at your home daily. Read your scriptural texts. The almighty is happy when you make time for him within the given means. Being religious also covers your cultural and social goals. It is a win-win situation for you. Financial Goals Active Income is cool, but have you ever thought about Passive Income? Start planning about how to earn money while you sleep. Plan your retirement while you are young. Deadlines drive you. We agree. Yet, do what you can while you can. The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war. This is an entirely different domain. It would be hard for us to cover this in depth in this article. We plan to have a separate article of this domain. In fact, we may have a guest to cover this topic for you. Meanwhile, we recommend you start reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. That is the easiest read we can recommend you to start. Concluding Remarks What do you think we can add to these goals? We would feel glad to receive your suggestions. How do you think we can entertain you more before we launch? Again, we need your suggestions.
