Boost your energy

1. Pace yourself. Instead of burning through all your "battery life" in two hours, spread it out among morning tasks, afternoon tasks, and evening activities — with rest and meals in between.
2. Take a walk or a nap. Theres nothing more satisfying than a short power nap when youre pooped out. However, if you have trouble sleeping at night, know that napping can make insomnia worse. If thats the case for you, get moving instead. Get up and walk around the block, or just get up and move around. If you are not an insomniac, though, enjoy that 20- to 30-minute power nap.
3. Skip most supplements. You may have heard about energy-boosting or "anti-aging" supplements. There is no evidence they work.

• DHEA. There is no evidence that DHEA offers any real benefits, and the side effects remain a question mark.
• Iron. Iron only improves energy if you are clearly deficient, which a doctor can check with a blood test. Otherwise, you dont need to take it — and getting too much iron can be harmful.
• B vitamins. It is true that B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) help the body convert food into the form of energy that cells can burn, but taking more B vitamins doesnt supercharge your cells.

4.Fuel up wisely. A sugary roll from the bakery delivers plenty of calories, but your body tends to metabolize them quickly, and then you can end up with sinking blood sugar — and fatigue. Youll maintain a steadier energy level by eating lean protein and unrefined carbohydrates. Try yogurt with a sprinkling of nuts, raisins, and honey. Your body will take in the carb-fiber-protein mix more gradually. Dont skip meals, either. Your body needs a certain number of calories to get through the days work. Its better to space your meals out so your body gets the nourishment it needs all through the day. ( Source Harvard News Letter)

Patiala: The local police booked a doctor for medical negligence that had resulted in the death of a 20-year old woman. The deceased, Nisha Rani, was admitted to a private clinic on August 29, 2017. Nisha was undergoing treatment for pregnancy at the clinic, but the doctor, Ashu Gupta, refused further treatment when the health of the patient deteriorated. She was then rushed to Government Rajindra Hospital where she gave birth to a dead baby. Almost after a week she also died, the police said. The police booked the case under Section 304.
