Eat Smart This Summer With This Protein-Packed Diet

Summer has arrived early, and with beach trips on the horizon, now is the perfect time to kickstart your fitness routine. While gym sessions are essential, diet plays an equally vital role in sculpting and maintaining a healthy body weight. Ritika Samaddar, Regional Head of Dietetics at Max Healthcare – New Delhi, recommends this straightforward, protein-rich plan featuring California Almonds, Greek Yoghurt, and Salmon.

Morning Kickstart: California Almonds and Boiled Eggs
Begin your day with a few California Almonds. Rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium, they help sustain energy levels without sudden spikes. They are an excellent addition to any fitness-focused diet.

Pair them with two boiled eggs for complete protein. This combo is portable, filling, and perfect for busy mornings.

Lunch: Grilled Chicken Breast Salad
Opt for grilled chicken breast tossed with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. This meal delivers lean protein, fibre, and hydration from veggies, keeping you light yet satisfied through the afternoon.

Evening Snack: Greek Yoghurt with Chia Seeds
Recharge in the late afternoon with Greek yoghurt topped with a teaspoon of chia seeds. This snack delivers probiotics for gut health, sustained energy, and a refreshing, cooling effect.

Dinner: Baked Salmon with Quinoa
End your day with a baked salmon fillet served alongside cooked quinoa and steamed broccoli. This nutrient-rich plate offers omega-3 fatty acids for skin health, anti-inflammatory benefits, and complete proteins to support overnight muscle repair.

This simple routine emphasises supporting muscle building, controlling hunger, and aiding weight management. Avoid heavy carbs in the afternoons as they are difficult to digest. Aim for portion control, good hydration and light exercise. These easy, practical tips can help you stay fit and energised during the summer heat.

AMARON, the flagship brand of Amara Raja Energy & Mobility, powered the TCS World 10K Bengaluru as the official partner, reinforcing its commitment to endurance, consistency, and performance values that mirror the spirit of long-distance running. As part of its ongoing association with Procam International through 2026, AMARON was present across key touchpoints of the event, which saw participation from over 365,000 runners across on-ground and virtual formats.

At the event AMARON brought its promise of reliability to life through a series of service-led and experiential engagements at various touchpoints. AMARON-powered ambulances and support vehicles were deployed across the route, quietly supporting runners at critical moments, enabling journeys that demand consistency, reliability, and endurance. Participants had access to two-wheeler and four-wheeler battery check-up camps, along with lubricant oil change services ensuring their journeys beyond race day remained uninterrupted. Along with this, a larger-than-life AMARON battery installation served as the centrepiece, alongside a showcase of vehicles powered by AMARON across categories. The brand also introduced battery-shaped charging stations and interactive zones across the venue blending utility with engagement in a way that felt both functional and intuitive.

Recognised as a World Athletics Gold Label race, the event brought together elite global and Indian athletes, reflecting the spirit of “Endendigu Bengaluru” a city defined by steady progress and resilience. The event was attended by a strong elite field, including Uganda’s Harbert Kibet and defending champion Sarah Chelangat, alongside Indian defending champion and event record holder Abhishek Pal and Sanjivani Jadhav.

Commenting on the association, Chandrasekar Radhakrishnan, Chief Business Officer – Automotive and Home Energy Business (India & SAARC), Amara Raja Energy & Mobility, said: “A marathon shows us that the real race is the one no one sees—built quietly, mile after mile, through discipline and resolve. That’s what Amaron stands for. Not short bursts, but staying power. Not noise, but consistency over time. Our association with the TCS World 10K Bengaluru celebrates those who keep going, away from the spotlight, committed to the long game. Because like every runner out there, Amaron is built to endure—quietly powering every mile that matters.”

Speaking about the TCS World 10K Bengaluru, World Champion and Olympic medallist Blanka VlaÅ¡ić said, “What makes this special is not the race itself, but everything that leads up to it and the discipline, the preparation, and the consistency that build over time. Every runner here is a reflection of that journey. In many ways, the long game in any sport is always played in the quiet and in the hours of effort no one sees. In a city like Bengaluru, where progress is constant and personal, you can truly feel that spirit of people moving forward in their own rhythm, yet together as one”

Through its continued association with marquee endurance platforms such as the IPL and the Tata Mumbai Marathon, AMARON remains committed to championing performance, consistency, and the spirit of the long game across India.

Maarga Mind Care Brings New Recovery Model To Mental Healthcare In India

* A unique model that helps people heal, rebuild and return with confidence

Maarga Mind Care has announced the launch of its Integrative Day Care Program, a mental healthcare model designed to support patients beyond acute treatment and into real, lasting recovery. At a time when mental health needs are rising and long-term support remains limited, this program offers continuity, structure and a more human path back to everyday life.

In contemporary psychiatric care, the gap between acute symptom stabilization and meaningful functional recovery remains a critical challenge. At Maarga Mind Care, this gap is addressed through an Integrative Day Care Program, a structured, therapeutic ecosystem rooted in milieu therapy principles and enriched by a Cognitive-Motor-Sensory (CMS) Integration Model developed by the team at Maarga Mind Care.

According to the National Mental Health Survey 2015–16, 10.6% of adults in India live with mental disorders, with lifetime prevalence estimated at 13.7%. More recent studies suggest that nearly 15% of India’s adult population may need clinical mental health support, yet the treatment gap remains as high as 70% - 92% across conditions. WHO has also warned that mental health conditions could cost India ₹9.62 lakh crore (US$1.03 trillion) between 2012 and 2030, underscoring the urgent need for more structured and sustained pathways of care.

Designed as an immersive and multidimensional healing environment, the program supports not only mental stability, but also confidence, self-awareness, social functioning, and a more meaningful return to daily life.

Commenting on the introduction of the program, Dr Jothi Neeraja, Founder & MD, Maarga Mind Care said, “Our Integrative Day Care Program has been designed as a structured, compassionate, and personalised mental healthcare offering that supports individuals through recovery in a more holistic way. By combining therapeutic care, routine, emotional regulation, and social engagement, the program helps rebuild confidence, regain stability, and move forward meaningfully in their daily lives.”

Dr Jyoti Kapoor, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist & Psychotherapist, Maarga Mind Care said, “What makes this program stand out is its balance of structured therapeutic activity with equally intentional moments of restoration. Through this program, patient families have reported better understanding of the patient’s condition, improved communication patterns, enhanced trust in the recovery process and reduced caregiver burden due to structured and supervised engagement.”

The program is supervised by psychiatrists and clinical psychologist; and delivered by a multidisciplinary team of case managers, music, yoga and expressive art therapy facilitators and specialist nursing staff. With regular observation and coordinated reviews, support can be customized to the needs of each patient as recovery progresses.

“Mental healthcare needs to move beyond the typical interventions and create more structured pathways for recovery which can accommodate the patients and care givers preferences and necessities. Our Integrative Day Care Program is designed to provide structured and compassionate support in a way that is holistic, personalised, and grounded in continuity of care,” says Dr. Abhishek Hariharan Kandluri, Co-Founder, Executive Director & CBO, Maarga Mind Care.

The Integrative Day Care Program at Maarga Mind Care represents a paradigm shift from episodic care to continuous, integrative recovery. By combining milieu therapy with Cognitive-Motor-Sensory Integration, it creates a living therapeutic ecosystem — one that extends beyond inpatient care into real-world functioning. It affirms a crucial principle in modern psychiatry that sustained recovery is not achieved in isolation, but through continuity, structure, and meaningful engagement.
