Dietary diversity plays a vital role in disease prevention and management. Kulattha (Dolichos biflorus), commonly known as Horse gram, is a pulse of the family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) that is mentioned in classical Ayurvedic texts under the Shamidhanya Varga and used as a key ingredient in several dietary and medicinal formulations. This underutilised neglected pulse, native to South India, is consumed worldwide in various forms, including sprouted or boiled seeds, ground flour, and health beverages, as well as in traditional Indian preparations such as yusha (soup), ladoo, snacks, and salads. kulttha is rich in carbohydrates and proteins and contains substantial amounts of trace minerals such as iron, molybdenum, and calcium, together with Vitamin A, protein, pentosan, and water-soluble gum; other notable constituents include collidine and genistein. Owing to its favourable amino acid profile, Kulattha is nutritionally superior to many other pulses and represents a valuable grain legume with considerable nutritional and therapeutic potential. This review compiles classical Ayurvedic descriptions and contemporary scientific evidence on the nutritional composition, therapeutic properties, and dietary applications of Kulattha, and highlights its promise as a functional food for preventing and managing lifestyle-related disorders.

Over the past ten years, internet usage has increased dramatically both in India and globally. Students are particularly vulnerable to internet addiction as faster and less expensive internet becomes more widely available. It is crucial to assess problematic internet usage (PIU) and its correlation with undergraduate students' mental health and physical inactivity because it can impede vital activities like pursuing formal education, amusement, and commerce. Aim and Objectives: To assess the prevalence of PIU and to examine its relationship with psychological well-being and physical inactivity among college students in Bhopal city. Materials and Methods: This study was a pilot study among 50 college students and used prestabilized modified structured questionnaires to collect data on sociodemographics, problematic internet uses, psychological distress, and physical activity. Data were collected using the short version of Young's Internet Addiction Test (YIAT), GHQ12, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results: The mean age of the students was 21.5 years. The prevalence of PIU was 32% (Cronbach’s Alpha=.861)and 72% of students were minimal to mildly distressed, and 28% were moderately distressed (Cronbach’s alpha = .701). majority of students (86%) were physically inactive, PIU was positively associated with psychological distress (r = 0.336, p = 0.017), and a negative significant correlation was found between internet addiction and physical activity (r = -0.016, p-value = 0.911). Conclusions: PIU was widespread among college students, and a high percentage of students reported minimal to mild psychological distress and physical activity, emphasizing the need to raise awareness about its harmful impacts on psychological well-being and physical activity.

Obesity, a chronic condition that contributes to hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular issues, stems from insufficient exercise, poor eating habits, and stress. As of 2022, obesity will affect one in eight people worldwide. In India, NFHS-5 data show that 23% of women and 22.1% of men are overweight, whereas 40% of women and 12% of men have abdominal obesity. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 31% of adults globally are physically inactive, which is a key factor in obesity. The WHO recommends 150 min of moderate-intensity physical activity weekly to manage obesity and metabolic disorders. This review assesses the efficacy of yoga techniques in obesity management through an examination of the existing research. This review incorporates yoga literature, health benefits from yoga classics, and outcomes from clinical studies on the health advantages of yoga practices. Yoga therapy offers a natural solution with minimal adverse effects and provides benefits beyond physical improvement. A specific yoga regimen, including Kapalbhati Pranayama, Trikonasana, Bhujangasana, Paschimottanasana, Naukasana, Halasana, Ardhachakrasana, Uttanapadasana, and Surya Namaskar, could control and prevent obesity and associated health issues. Thus, yoga therapy may serve as a valuable lifestyle intervention. This review highlights the impact of selected yogasanas on weight reduction and obesity management, which is supported by research findings. This demonstrates the effectiveness of yogic practices in controlling obesity and promoting yoga therapy as a cost-effective approach to obesity prevention and management.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects around 537 million people globally, with 77 million cases in India. Type 2 DM is primarily linked to poor dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles, leading to either insulin resistance or impaired insulin secretion. In Ayurveda this condition is referred to as Apathyanimmataja Prameha. To promote healthier food choices, the Indian government declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets, emphasizing their significant health benefits. Historically, millets, known as "Shri Anna," were among the first domesticated crops in India and were a staple food across Asia. However, with the Green Revolution prioritizing the mass production of rice and wheat, millet cultivation declined. Millets are classified as "Nutri Cereal" due to their low glycemic index (GI), gluten-free nature, and rich content of flavonoids, vitamins (E, B complex), minerals, and antioxidants. They help prevent various lifestyle diseases and have demonstrated antidiabetic effects. Specifically, Kodo, Sorghum, and foxtail millets have shown significant impact on controlling hyperglycemia, as confirmed by studies. Ayurvedic texts also recommend these millets as a wholesome diet, particularly in managing conditions like Prameha (diabetes) and obesity. This article draws data from Ayurvedic texts, previous dissertations, and electronic databases like ResearchGate and PubMed and Google Scholar. It explores the pharmacodynamic properties of Kodo, Sorghum, and foxtail millets focusing on their preventive and therapeutic effects in managing type 2 DM by integrating both Ayurvedic and modern scientific research.

Diabetes is a silent killer affecting millions and millions of people and poses a grave threat to the earth's population.Previously Diabetes has considered as a disorder of elderly, now a day's status has changed, and it has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality affecting the youth and middle aged people.On etiological basis Diabetes has classified into two main types as type 1 and type 2. Type -2 Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder presented by Hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, action or both.Both forms of Diabetes can lead to several microvascular and macrovascular multisystem complications.One way to keep diabetes and its complications under control is; early detection of the disease and to adopt the healthy lifestyle.W.H.O.emphasizes on the using of traditional drugs with the lowest side effects to control Diabetes symptoms.Ayurvedic literature explains it under the heading of Prameha/Madhumeha.Madhumeha (subtype of Vataj Prameha) is a disease which resembles with Diabetes Mellitus.Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is mainly associated with Avaranjanya samprapti and sthool pramehi or Apathyanimittaja Pramehi can be correlated to patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.Acharya Sushrutha and Charaka emphasized the importance of diet and exercise in the management of Diabetes.Both has mentioned that patients of Diabetes should take the diet combined with Flaxseed oil (C.Chi.6/20, S. Chi.31/5) and several researches also proved the positive effect of Atasi on inflammation, glycemic control and oxidative stress.Thus for present study Atasi has selected and clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients of Type 2 D.M. for 45 days.These patients were divided into 2 groups as group A (Atasi) and group B (Placebo).After 45 days, results showed significant improvement on subjective and objective parameters in group A i.e.Atasi group
