Meghan Markle was recently rumored to be replacing late California Senator Dianne Feinstein Meghan Markle has been accused of trying to “keep a foot in both camps” as the Duchess expresses her political aspirations, all while retaining her royal title. Professor of Marketing and Consumer Research at Royal Holloway, University of London, Pauline Maclaran spoke to the Daily Express about the credibility of the Suits alum to be taken seriously as a politician. "I don't think she has built enough of a trajectory to be taken seriously enough as a person,” she shared. “I don't think she has built enough credibility yet.” Maclaran’s opinion comes shortly after it was reported that Meghan was looking to make her political debut following the death of California Senator Dianne Feinstein. The rumors were soon debunked after California Governor Gavin Newsom appointed 44-year-old Laphonza Butler to the role. "She wants to use that title as a status symbol but, for a political route in the US, using a title is really rather ridiculous. It shows she wants to keep a foot in both camps,” the expert continued. She went on to claim that her royal title still seems to “contribute to her sense of self and identity,” which points out the former actress’s lack of direction. "I can't see her going anywhere at the moment. She has to develop a clear image in her own right,” added Maclaran. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1115667-meghan-markle-clinging-to-royal-title-as-status-symbol-amid-political-goals

The type of bear that injured the 73-year-old woman in an attack Sunday hasn't been confirmed. A 73-year-old woman was injured when a bear attacked her in northwestern Montana on Sunday. The bear emerged from thick brush and attacked the woman as she walked with her husband and her dog around 3 p.m. along Trail Creek, the state Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said Monday.

Polebridge is a tiny community in Flathead County, around 15 miles south of the U.S.-Canada border. The type of bear has not been confirmed, the wildlife agency said.

Let us take a look at the health benefits of moong dal. Can people with diabetes benefit from it? What are some misconceptions about it? Yellow dal and rice – these foods are often associated with home and the idea of comfort. (Understand why we crave certain ‘comfort foods’) There is also the added benefit of this meal being a healthier choice than the usual burgers and pizzas. Yellow dal or moong dal is highly nutritious and the most widely used lentil in Indian kitchens, according to Dr Ushakiran Sisodia, registered dietician and clinical nutritionist, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai. Let’s take a look at the health benefits of this pulse. Nutritional profile of moong dal Every 100g of cooked moong dal approximately contains the following nutrients, as per Sisodia. Calories: 105 kcal Protein: 7.1g Fat: 0.4g Carbohydrates: 19.1g Dietary fibre: 7.6g Iron: 1.4mg Magnesium: 48mg Potassium: 292mg Vitamin B6: 10% of the Daily Value Folate: 24% of the Daily Value Health benefits of moong dal Sisodia explained that moong dal is an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fibre, aiding digestion and preventing constipation. “Its vitamin and mineral content, such as folate, magnesium and vitamin B6, makes it nutritionally dense,” she added. Furthermore, its low-fat content promotes heart health. Is it beneficial for people with diabetes? Due to its low glycaemic index, moong dal slowly releases sugar into the bloodstream, Sisodia explained, so it is a safe choice for people with diabetes. However, as with any food, it is recommended to speak with your diabetologist or nutritionist before making any additions to your diet. Can pregnant women eat it safely? Pregnant women can benefit greatly from moong dal, according to Sisodia. “Its folate content aids in preventing certain defects in the foetus; iron assists in avoiding anaemia; and protein supports foetal growth. However, it is always recommended to consult with a gynaecologist or nutritionist for specific dietary advice during pregnancy,” she said. Things to keep in mind While moong dal is nutritious, activities such as soaking, sprouting, or fermenting can reduce these levels, Sisodia emphasised. Some individuals may have allergies to legumes, including moong dal, manifesting as rashes, breathing difficulties, or gastrointestinal issues. Myths and facts A common myth about moong dal is that it causes weight gain due to its protein content. However, Sisodia clarified that in reality moong dal supports weight management and muscle building. Another misconception is that it creates ‘heat’ in the body. This is a traditional belief and lacks scientific backing. Moong dal, especially when sprouted, is considered to be cooling and easy to digest, explained Sisodia. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/food-wine/nutrition-alert-moong-dal-8960358/
