Read More »The trend of spiced coffee is grabbing many eyeballs in the market. Remember the stir caused by turmeric latte a while back? While some people called it just a fancy version of our humble 'haldi doodh', the viral concoction did make a lot of us embrace the idea of throwing spices in our daily cuppa. India is the land that gave birth to masala chai. We love our spices so much that the moment we go out of them we tend to get panicky. Cinnamon or dalchini, is one such spice that is used in variety of desi preparations, from curries, kadhas to biryanis. The hot winter spice is said to be loaded with many health benefits, and adding it to your coffee can do wonders for your overall health in addition to making your coffee more flavourful and robust.

Typically, studies that have looked at age-related physical ability focused on testing those in their 70s and 80s. This study tested a wider age range — 775 subjects from age 30 to 90-plus — and found that exercise to offset physical decline needs to start before people are AARP-eligible. "Our research reinforces a life-span approach to maintaining physical ability — don't wait until you are 80 years old and cannot get out of a chair," lead author Katherine Hall, assistant professor of medicine at Duke, said in a statement. "The good news is, the ability to function independently can often be preserved with regular exercise." In the study, published in the Journals of Gerontology, all participants were given simple tests to measure their strength, balance or endurance: rising from a chair repeatedly for 30 seconds; standing on one leg for a minute; and walking for six minutes. Walking speed over a distance of about 10 yards was also measured.
