He explains that black caps usually signify alkaline water, blue caps often denote spring water, and white caps typically represent filtered or processed water. Green caps are commonly used for flavored water, red caps for electrolyte-enhanced water, yellow for vitamin-enriched water, and clear caps may signify natural spring or distilled water. Dr. Mule emphasizes that for most healthy individuals, regular packaged or spring water is sufficient for daily hydration, and while specialty waters can be beneficial for those with specific needs like athletes, claims of major health benefits from alkaline or vitamin-enriched water are not strongly supported by scientific evidence. He advises consumers to always prioritize checking the bottle's label for certifications, expiry dates, and storage conditions rather than relying solely on the cap color.

Actress Soha Ali Khan has incorporated raw garlic into her morning routine for the past four weeks, claiming it's a "powerhouse for immunity, gut health, inflammation, and overall balance." She chews one raw clove on an empty stomach to activate allicin, then swallows it with water, advising crushing it and letting it rest for ten minutes if chewing is too pungent. Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal confirms that allicin, activated upon crushing, offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Potential benefits of regular raw garlic consumption over four weeks include improved immunity, better gut health (acting as a prebiotic), slight reductions in blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, natural detoxification support for the liver, and potential blood sugar regulation. However, Goyal stresses it's not for everyone: individuals with acid reflux, gastritis, IBS, those on blood thinners, or pregnant/lactating women should exercise caution or consult a doctor. For safe consumption, she recommends starting with half a crushed clove, allowing allicin to activate, and avoiding milk or tea immediately after. Goyal emphasizes that garlic is a food, not a medicine, and its benefits are realized through consistency as part of a balanced diet, not as a quick fix or replacement for medical treatment, especially for lifestyle diseases.
