Getting children to drink their milk can be quite a task. Hence, many parents have relied on sugary milk-flavouring options for decades. Fortunately, now they can cut their sugar intake significantly by using a simple device to flavour their children’s drinks – a straw!


Indore-based company Bourgeon Foods has introduced a truly innovative product to the market called Strawfit. Founded by brothers Shashank Jain and Rajat Jain in 2019, this patented straw is one you wouldn’t want to throw away.


This unique patented product flavours the milk it is added to and acts as the perfect replacement for sugary and preservative-heavy milk flavours and additives.

Around six years ago, Nikhil Sharma, aka Mumbiker Nikhil, began moto vlogging. And his video travelling from Kashmir to Kanyakumari on his motorbike caught viewers’ attention. When asked about the journey, he humbly replied, "it was fun."


Initially, he would travel only 50 to 100 km every day as long-distance travelling was not really a thing back then. One day, he decided to travel outside of Mumbai to cities such as Ajmer and Bengaluru.

He is one of the YouTubers who popularised moto vlogging in India and influenced several budding travellers.

Gut health is at the core of all health. If we look through functional medicine or Ayurveda, we come to this very same conclusion. Ayurveda has always spoken about how the state of Agni is at the core of the disease development process. This is because poor digestion causes a build-up of metabolic waste, and this accumulation of toxins from ajeerna, or poor digestion, leads to disease.


In functional medicine, the last decade has been the age of the microbiome, where extensive research into understanding the power of the gut and the subsequent development of gut centric protocols and nutrients has been at the forefront.
