This time, the opportunity to satisfy the excitement is Dhiraj Singh, Raj Basfor, Sandeep Malik, Amandeep and a young footballer. In the quarter -finals of the Super Cup, Mohanbagan's team Bhubaneswar went on Thursday to play against Blastus. The only foreign Portugal is Nuno Miguel.

*Mumbai City FC brush past Chennaiyin in Kalinga Super Cup*

Sports 

 BHUBANESWAR : Lallianzuala Chhangte delivered a captain’s performance with a dazzling brace as Mumbai City FC breezed past Chennaiyin FC 4-0 in a dominant Round of 16 encounter of the 2025 Kalinga Super Cup at the Kalinga Stadium on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The first half ended 1-0.

Nikolaos Karelis (43’) scored the first goal for Mumbai City FC at the stroke of half time before Lallianzuala Chhangte (64’, 86’) stole the show with his two goals. Substitute Bipin Singh (90’) capped off the win with a strike in the last minute. 

Mumbai City FC, still smarting from a heavy 0-5 defeat against Bengaluru FC in the ISL knockout rounds, responded in emphatic fashion to book their place in the Kalinga Super Cup quarter-finals. Their opponents, Chennaiyin FC, had finished a disappointing 11th in the ISL, and their Super Cup journey came to an end after another underwhelming performance.

From the opening whistle, Mumbai City were on the front foot. The attacking trio of Chhangte, Karelis, and Jorge Ortiz looked sharp, with intricate passing and excellent movement that repeatedly exposed gaps in the Chennaiyin backline.

Chhangte nearly opened the scoring early on when he latched onto a defensive error, glided past his marker and unleashed a shot towards the far post only to see it come back off the woodwork.

Chennaiyin struggled to settle into the game and were denied what looked like a potential penalty after Daniel Chima Chukwu was brought down in the box by Vikram Pratap Singh, but the referee waved play on.

The breakthrough finally came in the 43rd minute. A half-cleared corner fell kindly to Hitesh Sharma, who lofted a teasing ball into the box. Chennaiyin goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz was a tad late in coming out to affect a save and Nikolaos Karelis made no mistake, nodding home from close range to put the Islanders ahead at the break.

After the interval, Mumbai City resumed their control. Ortiz and Chhangte combined beautifully to carve open chances, and the latter came close again before Chennaiyin nearly found an equaliser. Lukas Brambilla danced past Mumbai City goalkeeper TP Rehenesh and seemed destined to score, but Mehtab Singh’s goal-line clearance denied Chennaiyin a lifeline.

That moment proved to be the turning point. In the 64th minute, Ortiz once again danced past his marker and slipped Karelis in behind. The Greek forward’s effort across goal wasn’t the cleanest, but Chhangte was there at the far post to tap it into an open net and double Mumbai City’s lead.

Chhangte struck again in the 86th minute with a touch of class. Ortiz played a sublime outside-of-the-boot flick to send him through. The winger cut inside on his favoured left foot and curled a low shot past the goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

In the last minute of the game, Chhangte turned provider. A delicate scooped pass found Bipin Singh in the box, who brushed aside pressure from Mandar Rao Desai and calmly slotted home to complete the rout.

Lallianzuala Chhangte was presented the Kalinga Player of the Match award

कपिल सिब्बल का उपराष्ट्रपति धनखड़ पर पलटवार, बोले- राष्ट्रपति नाम का मुखिया, कोई निजी अधिकार नहीं

#kapilsibalreactiononvicepresidentdhankhar_statement

उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़ ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा राष्ट्रपति के निर्णय लेने के लिए समयसीमा निर्धारित करने के फैसले पर सवाल उठाया। अब राज्यसभा सांसद कपिल सिब्बल ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसले पर जगदीप धनखड़ की टिप्पणी की आलोचना की है। उन्होंने कहा है कि उपराष्ट्रपति को पता होना चाहिए कि राज्यपाल और राष्ट्रपति मंत्रिपरिषद की ‘सहायता और सलाह’ पर कार्य करते हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि राष्ट्रपति एक टिट्यूलर हेड हैं और गवर्नर का भी पद ऐसा है।

निष्पक्ष बात करने की सलाह

सिब्बल ने शुक्रवार को कहा, आज अखबारों में मुझे धनखड़ साहब का भाषण पढ़कर दुख और आश्चर्य हुआ। उनको किसी पार्टी के स्पोक्सपर्सन की तरह बात नहीं करनी चाहिए बल्कि निष्पक्ष बात करें। आज पूरे देश में अगर किसी संस्था पर भरोसा किया जाता है तो वह न्यायपालिका है। जब सरकार के कुछ लोगों को न्यायपालिका के फैसले पसंद नहीं आते तो वे आरोप लगाते हैं।जब अच्छी लगे तो वपक्ष से कहते हैं कि कोर्ट का फैसला है।

राष्ट्रपति एक टिट्यूलर हेड-सिब्बल

कपिल सिब्बल ने इस पर आगे कहा कि वह उपराष्ट्रपति का सम्मान करते हैं, लेकिन उन्हें ऐसा नहीं कहना चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा, आर्टिकल 142 की शक्ति सुप्रीम कोर्ट को संविधान देता है। राष्ट्रपति एक टिट्यूलर हेड हैं। गवर्नर का भी पद ऐसा है। गवर्नर बिल नहीं रोक सकते, राष्ट्रपति को भेजते हैं। राष्ट्रपति कैबिनेट की सलाह और सहयोग से ही काम करते हैं, तो राष्ट्रपति के अधिकार पर सवाल उठाने की बात नहीं है।

सभापति पार्टी के प्रवक्ता की तरह काम नहीं कर सकते-सिब्बल

कपिल सिब्बल ने कहा, न्यायपालिका के अधिकारों पर ऐसे बयान हमला हैं। क्या राष्ट्रपति संसद से पास बिल को अनंत समय तक रोक सकते हैं? ऐसे काम कैसे चलेगा। सुप्रीम कोर्ट का फैसला 2 जज का हो या 5 जज का, सबको मानना होता है। सभापति सदन में पक्ष-विपक्ष के बीच बैठते हैं, निष्पक्ष होते हैं। किसी पार्टी के प्रवक्ता की तरह काम नहीं कर सकते।

दरोगा विद्यासागर के अपराध,काली कमाई ने बेटे को बना दिया अपराधी

जौनपुर। बहुत पुरानी कहावत है "कि बाप का खाया बेटा भरता हैं" लेकिन यह कहावत बिल्कुल फिट बैठ रही हैं. थानागद्दी चौकी पर तैनात प्रमोटी दारोगा विद्यासागर सिंह के बेटे आदित्य सागर के खिलाफ पड़ोसी वाराणसी जिले के चोलापुर थाने में गंभीर धाराओं में आरोपी बनाया हैं।

जानकारी के मुताबिक विद्यासागर सिंह सिपाही से प्रोन्नत होकर दरोगा बने। अल्प समय के लिए दरोगा की कुर्सी व कंधे पर सितारे लगते ही शरीर में ऐंठन होने लगी। फिर खाकी में अपराध व अवैध कामों को संरक्षण देकर के धन बटोरने में जुट गया। विभागीय लोग बताते हैं कि विद्यासागर के बेटे बेरोजगार हैं। जिससे विद्यासागर को हरवक्त बेटे को सजोने संवारने में जुट रहता हैं। जिसके लिए हरसंभव प्रयास करके अपराध में धंसता गया। खुद का सिंडिकेट तैयार लिया। जिसमें कुछ तथाकथित पत्रकारों को भी शामिल किया। जिससे किसी भी घटना को दबाते हुए,वसूली को प्रायोजित तरीके से कराई जा सके।

विद्यासागर ने अपराध से अर्जित काली कमाई से एक कृषि कार्य में रजिस्टर्ड ट्रैक्टर UP62AS9996 लिया। जिससे कमर्शियल उपयोग में लेने लगा। ट्रैक्टर को अपराधिक सिंडिकेट के इशारे पर अवैध कामों में धकेल दिया। अवैध व अपराध से अर्जित राशि ने ज्यादा दिन तक विद्यासागर का साथ नहीं दिया। कुछ माह बाद चोलापुर पुलिस ने हिट एंड रन का मामला आदित्य सागर के खिलाफ दर्ज करते हुए,चार्जशीट न्यायालय में भेज दिया।

कप्तान ने कतरे पर,भेजा खेतासराय

अपराध में धंसते जा रहे विद्यासागर को स्थानीय अधिकारियों का प्रश्रय था. जिससे विद्यासागर आराम से अपने कामों को अंजाम दे रहा था। लगातार शिकायतों को देखते हुए,कप्तान ने विद्यासागर का ट्रांसफर खेतासराय कर दिया। ट्रांसफर की बात सुनकर विद्यासागर के होश उड़ गए। अपराधिक सिंडिकेट के साथ विद्यासागर ने कई चौखटों पर माथा टेकते हुए,ट्रांसफर रुकवाने की गुहार की। लेकिन किसी ने नहीं सुनी। चूंकि खेतासराय में अवैध कमाई बंद हो चुकी हैं। सिंडिकेट भी बिखर चुका हैं। विभाग के अनुसार विद्यासागर केराकत थाना क्षेत्र के सरकी चौकी पर आने के लिए हर संभव प्रयास कर रहा हैं। जिससे सिंडिकेट व अपराधिक गतिविधि से काली कमाई की जा सके।

ISL

Kolkata : Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) will face Bengaluru FC in the final of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) on April 12, at 7:30 PM IST in a blockbuster winner takes all clash befitting of a much awaited title clash.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference in Kolkata ahead of the final, Mohun Bagan Super Giant Head Coach Jose Molina stressed on the importance of looking forward and not worrying about the past. “I don’t care about what happened in the past. I am trying to do my best for Mohun Bagan Super Giant. We did well to win the League Shield and we are motivated to win the ISL Cup too. I don’t need extra motivation from the fact that we lost the final last year. We are already motivated enough.”

Bengaluru FC Head Coach Gerard Zaragoza, who showed exemplary camaraderie by helping a translate a question for his counterpart Molina, was chuffed about playing the big final in Kolkata. “We are very motivated for the finals and excited for the game. Everything is fine. We are confident and Kolkata is almost like our second home, because we were here for the Durand Cup. We had a good playoffs and we are looking forward to the grand finale.”

His sentiment was echoed by BFC goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who spoke fondly about his long association with the city. “As you know, my journey as a professional footballer started here and I was very lucky to be getting opportunities to play matches from the beginning. I am grateful for the journey. If you get an opportunity to play big games, big finals, in front of big crowds as a player, it’s a great experience and I am lucky to be here for the match in Kolkata.” Gurpreet also reserved some special praise for the opponents, saying, “Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been the standout team this season and there is no denying that, which is why they won the League Shield.”

Mohun Bagan Super Giant captain Subhasish Bose, who Molina jokingly referred to as a striker in light of his goalscoring form in this edition, shed light on the significance of the venue as a local boy. “I am always thrilled to play in front of our home fans. I wish that the fans support us wholeheartedly against Bengaluru FC tomorrow.”

MBSG are the League Shield Winners, whereas Bengaluru FC finished third in the standings and then cruised past the challenges that fronted them in the eliminator and semi-final to make it to the summit clash.

It is a fourth ISL finals appearance for BFC in just 8 seasons, while MBSG have become the first team to reach this stage three successive times. This fixture is an encore of the ISL 2022-23 showdown, when both these sides had clashed in the season finale, with the Kolkata-based team emerging triumphant via penalties in a very tight contest.

They have the chance to repeat that feat in front of a vociferous home crowd this time around, whereas Bengaluru FC will take confidence from their recent form to distort MBSG’s record of staying unbeaten at home thus far in the current campaign.

Nutrition experts Talk on Decoding Cravings: Understanding the Connection Between Nutrient Deficiencies and Food Desires

In March, a team of diet consultants, led by Nutritionist Harpreet Pasricha, conducted a series of talks on cravings in celebration of International Women’s Day. These sessions were held at Pentair, Mount Litera Zee School, Indian Naval units, and all Diet Dr Clinics in Goa, Ludhiana, and Amritsar.

Cravings are intense desires for specific foods that many individuals experience. While they can be influenced by emotions and habits, they may also indicate underlying nutrient deficiencies. This article explores the possible link between cravings and nutritional gaps, offering insights on how to address them effectively.

Understanding Cravings

Cravings are more than mere hunger; they are powerful urges for particular foods. These desires can be influenced by:

• Physiological Needs: The body’s requirement for specific nutrients.

• Emotional States: Stress, anxiety, or sadness leading to comfort eating.

• Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes during menstrual cycles or pregnancy affecting appetite.

Recognizing the root cause of cravings is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.

Common Cravings and Their Potential Nutrient Links

1. Chocolate

• Possible Deficiency: Magnesium

• Explanation: Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich in magnesium. A craving for chocolate might indicate a need for this essential mineral, which plays roles in muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production.

• Sources of Magnesium: Nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.

2. Ice (Pagophagia)

• Possible Deficiency: Iron

• Explanation: The compulsive consumption of ice, known as pagophagia, has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia. Chewing ice may provide temporary relief to oral inflammation caused by anemia.

• Sources of Iron: Red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, dark leafy greens, and iron-fortified cereals.

3. Salty Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Sodium or Chloride

• Explanation: An intense desire for salty snacks might suggest an electrolyte imbalance, particularly involving sodium or chloride. These minerals are vital for maintaining fluid balance and nerve function.

• Sources of Sodium and Chloride: Table salt, seafood, and vegetables like celery and tomatoes.

4. Red Meat

• Possible Deficiency: Iron or Vitamin B12

• Explanation: Craving red meat could signal low levels of iron or vitamin B12, both crucial for red blood cell formation and preventing anemia.

• Sources of Vitamin B12: Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.

5. Cheese or Dairy

• Possible Deficiency: Calcium or Vitamin D

• Explanation: A hankering for cheese or dairy products may indicate a need for calcium or vitamin D, essential for bone health and muscle function.

• Sources of Calcium: Dairy products, fortified plant-based milks, and leafy green vegetables.

• Sources of Vitamin D: Fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and exposure to sunlight.

6. Sugary Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Chromium or Magnesium

• Explanation: A sweet tooth might be linked to low levels of chromium, which aids in blood sugar regulation, or magnesium, involved in glucose metabolism.

• Sources of Chromium: Broccoli, grapes, whole-grain products, and meats.

7. Pickles or Sour Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Sodium

• Explanation: Craving pickles or sour foods can be a sign of sodium deficiency, especially in individuals with low blood pressure or those losing sodium through sweat.

8. Fried or Fatty Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Essential Fatty Acids

• Explanation: A desire for fried foods may suggest a lack of essential fatty acids, necessary for brain function and hormone production.

• Sources of Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty fish, flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds.

9. Carbonated Drinks

• Possible Deficiency: Calcium

• Explanation: Some theories propose that craving fizzy drinks is linked to low calcium levels, though more research is needed in this area.

The Broader Impact of Nutrient Deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies can manifest in various ways beyond cravings.

For instance:

• Iron Deficiency: Affects approximately one in three adults, leading to symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and pica (craving non-nutritional substances). Addressing this requires incorporating iron-rich foods into the diet or considering supplements under medical guidance.

• Hidden Hunger: This term refers to subclinical nutrient deficiencies that don’t show immediate symptoms but can increase the risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial to combat this issue.

Addressing and Preventing Nutrient Deficiencies

To mitigate cravings linked to nutrient deficiencies:

• Balanced Diet: Ensure a varied diet that includes all essential nutrients. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

• Regular Health Check-ups: Routine medical examinations can detect deficiencies early, allowing for timely interventions.

• Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger cues and cravings. Reflecting on what your body might be signaling can guide healthier food choices.

• Supplementation: When necessary, supplements can help address specific deficiencies. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you experience persistent cravings or suspect a nutrient deficiency, consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist is advisable. They can assess your dietary habits, identify potential deficiencies, and determine underlying causes, such as:

• Dietary Imbalances: Consuming foods that hinder nutrient absorption or lack essential nutrients.

• Malabsorption Issues: Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or environmental enteropathy can impair nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies. For instance, environmental enteropathy, prevalent in low-resource settings, is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, reducing nutrient absorption and leading to malnutrition and stunted growth.

• Medication Interactions: Some medications can interfere with nutrient absorption. For example, metformin, a common diabetes medication, has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.

A healthcare professional can conduct necessary tests to diagnose deficiencies and recommend appropriate dietary adjustments or supplements.

To summarise, cravings can serve as insightful indicators of our body’s nutritional needs. By understanding the potential links between specific cravings and nutrient deficiencies, we can make informed dietary choices that promote overall health. Emphasizing a balanced diet, staying attuned to our body’s signals, and seeking professional guidance when needed are pivotal steps toward well-being.

उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़ ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट द्वारा राष्ट्रपति के निर्णय लेने के लिए समयसीमा निर्धारित करने के फैसले पर सवाल उठाया। अब राज्यसभा सांसद कपिल सिब्बल ने सुप्रीम कोर्ट के फैसले पर जगदीप धनखड़ की टिप्पणी की आलोचना की है। उन्होंने कहा है कि उपराष्ट्रपति को पता होना चाहिए कि राज्यपाल और राष्ट्रपति मंत्रिपरिषद की ‘सहायता और सलाह’ पर कार्य करते हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि राष्ट्रपति एक टिट्यूलर हेड हैं और गवर्नर का भी पद ऐसा है।

निष्पक्ष बात करने की सलाह

सिब्बल ने शुक्रवार को कहा, आज अखबारों में मुझे धनखड़ साहब का भाषण पढ़कर दुख और आश्चर्य हुआ। उनको किसी पार्टी के स्पोक्सपर्सन की तरह बात नहीं करनी चाहिए बल्कि निष्पक्ष बात करें। आज पूरे देश में अगर किसी संस्था पर भरोसा किया जाता है तो वह न्यायपालिका है। जब सरकार के कुछ लोगों को न्यायपालिका के फैसले पसंद नहीं आते तो वे आरोप लगाते हैं।जब अच्छी लगे तो वपक्ष से कहते हैं कि कोर्ट का फैसला है।

राष्ट्रपति एक टिट्यूलर हेड-सिब्बल

कपिल सिब्बल ने इस पर आगे कहा कि वह उपराष्ट्रपति का सम्मान करते हैं, लेकिन उन्हें ऐसा नहीं कहना चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा, आर्टिकल 142 की शक्ति सुप्रीम कोर्ट को संविधान देता है। राष्ट्रपति एक टिट्यूलर हेड हैं। गवर्नर का भी पद ऐसा है। गवर्नर बिल नहीं रोक सकते, राष्ट्रपति को भेजते हैं। राष्ट्रपति कैबिनेट की सलाह और सहयोग से ही काम करते हैं, तो राष्ट्रपति के अधिकार पर सवाल उठाने की बात नहीं है।

सभापति पार्टी के प्रवक्ता की तरह काम नहीं कर सकते-सिब्बल

कपिल सिब्बल ने कहा, न्यायपालिका के अधिकारों पर ऐसे बयान हमला हैं। क्या राष्ट्रपति संसद से पास बिल को अनंत समय तक रोक सकते हैं? ऐसे काम कैसे चलेगा। सुप्रीम कोर्ट का फैसला 2 जज का हो या 5 जज का, सबको मानना होता है। सभापति सदन में पक्ष-विपक्ष के बीच बैठते हैं, निष्पक्ष होते हैं। किसी पार्टी के प्रवक्ता की तरह काम नहीं कर सकते।

दरोगा विद्यासागर के अपराध,काली कमाई ने बेटे को बना दिया अपराधी

जौनपुर। बहुत पुरानी कहावत है "कि बाप का खाया बेटा भरता हैं" लेकिन यह कहावत बिल्कुल फिट बैठ रही हैं. थानागद्दी चौकी पर तैनात प्रमोटी दारोगा विद्यासागर सिंह के बेटे आदित्य सागर के खिलाफ पड़ोसी वाराणसी जिले के चोलापुर थाने में गंभीर धाराओं में आरोपी बनाया हैं।

जानकारी के मुताबिक विद्यासागर सिंह सिपाही से प्रोन्नत होकर दरोगा बने। अल्प समय के लिए दरोगा की कुर्सी व कंधे पर सितारे लगते ही शरीर में ऐंठन होने लगी। फिर खाकी में अपराध व अवैध कामों को संरक्षण देकर के धन बटोरने में जुट गया। विभागीय लोग बताते हैं कि विद्यासागर के बेटे बेरोजगार हैं। जिससे विद्यासागर को हरवक्त बेटे को सजोने संवारने में जुट रहता हैं। जिसके लिए हरसंभव प्रयास करके अपराध में धंसता गया। खुद का सिंडिकेट तैयार लिया। जिसमें कुछ तथाकथित पत्रकारों को भी शामिल किया। जिससे किसी भी घटना को दबाते हुए,वसूली को प्रायोजित तरीके से कराई जा सके।

विद्यासागर ने अपराध से अर्जित काली कमाई से एक कृषि कार्य में रजिस्टर्ड ट्रैक्टर UP62AS9996 लिया। जिससे कमर्शियल उपयोग में लेने लगा। ट्रैक्टर को अपराधिक सिंडिकेट के इशारे पर अवैध कामों में धकेल दिया। अवैध व अपराध से अर्जित राशि ने ज्यादा दिन तक विद्यासागर का साथ नहीं दिया। कुछ माह बाद चोलापुर पुलिस ने हिट एंड रन का मामला आदित्य सागर के खिलाफ दर्ज करते हुए,चार्जशीट न्यायालय में भेज दिया।

कप्तान ने कतरे पर,भेजा खेतासराय

अपराध में धंसते जा रहे विद्यासागर को स्थानीय अधिकारियों का प्रश्रय था. जिससे विद्यासागर आराम से अपने कामों को अंजाम दे रहा था। लगातार शिकायतों को देखते हुए,कप्तान ने विद्यासागर का ट्रांसफर खेतासराय कर दिया। ट्रांसफर की बात सुनकर विद्यासागर के होश उड़ गए। अपराधिक सिंडिकेट के साथ विद्यासागर ने कई चौखटों पर माथा टेकते हुए,ट्रांसफर रुकवाने की गुहार की। लेकिन किसी ने नहीं सुनी। चूंकि खेतासराय में अवैध कमाई बंद हो चुकी हैं। सिंडिकेट भी बिखर चुका हैं। विभाग के अनुसार विद्यासागर केराकत थाना क्षेत्र के सरकी चौकी पर आने के लिए हर संभव प्रयास कर रहा हैं। जिससे सिंडिकेट व अपराधिक गतिविधि से काली कमाई की जा सके।

Kolkata : Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) will face Bengaluru FC in the final of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) on April 12, at 7:30 PM IST in a blockbuster winner takes all clash befitting of a much awaited title clash.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference in Kolkata ahead of the final, Mohun Bagan Super Giant Head Coach Jose Molina stressed on the importance of looking forward and not worrying about the past. “I don’t care about what happened in the past. I am trying to do my best for Mohun Bagan Super Giant. We did well to win the League Shield and we are motivated to win the ISL Cup too. I don’t need extra motivation from the fact that we lost the final last year. We are already motivated enough.”

Bengaluru FC Head Coach Gerard Zaragoza, who showed exemplary camaraderie by helping a translate a question for his counterpart Molina, was chuffed about playing the big final in Kolkata. “We are very motivated for the finals and excited for the game. Everything is fine. We are confident and Kolkata is almost like our second home, because we were here for the Durand Cup. We had a good playoffs and we are looking forward to the grand finale.”

His sentiment was echoed by BFC goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, who spoke fondly about his long association with the city. “As you know, my journey as a professional footballer started here and I was very lucky to be getting opportunities to play matches from the beginning. I am grateful for the journey. If you get an opportunity to play big games, big finals, in front of big crowds as a player, it’s a great experience and I am lucky to be here for the match in Kolkata.” Gurpreet also reserved some special praise for the opponents, saying, “Mohun Bagan Super Giant have been the standout team this season and there is no denying that, which is why they won the League Shield.”

Mohun Bagan Super Giant captain Subhasish Bose, who Molina jokingly referred to as a striker in light of his goalscoring form in this edition, shed light on the significance of the venue as a local boy. “I am always thrilled to play in front of our home fans. I wish that the fans support us wholeheartedly against Bengaluru FC tomorrow.”

MBSG are the League Shield Winners, whereas Bengaluru FC finished third in the standings and then cruised past the challenges that fronted them in the eliminator and semi-final to make it to the summit clash.

It is a fourth ISL finals appearance for BFC in just 8 seasons, while MBSG have become the first team to reach this stage three successive times. This fixture is an encore of the ISL 2022-23 showdown, when both these sides had clashed in the season finale, with the Kolkata-based team emerging triumphant via penalties in a very tight contest.

They have the chance to repeat that feat in front of a vociferous home crowd this time around, whereas Bengaluru FC will take confidence from their recent form to distort MBSG’s record of staying unbeaten at home thus far in the current campaign.

Nutrition experts Talk on Decoding Cravings: Understanding the Connection Between Nutrient Deficiencies and Food Desires

In March, a team of diet consultants, led by Nutritionist Harpreet Pasricha, conducted a series of talks on cravings in celebration of International Women’s Day. These sessions were held at Pentair, Mount Litera Zee School, Indian Naval units, and all Diet Dr Clinics in Goa, Ludhiana, and Amritsar.

Cravings are intense desires for specific foods that many individuals experience. While they can be influenced by emotions and habits, they may also indicate underlying nutrient deficiencies. This article explores the possible link between cravings and nutritional gaps, offering insights on how to address them effectively.

Understanding Cravings

Cravings are more than mere hunger; they are powerful urges for particular foods. These desires can be influenced by:

• Physiological Needs: The body’s requirement for specific nutrients.

• Emotional States: Stress, anxiety, or sadness leading to comfort eating.

• Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes during menstrual cycles or pregnancy affecting appetite.

Recognizing the root cause of cravings is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.

Common Cravings and Their Potential Nutrient Links

1. Chocolate

• Possible Deficiency: Magnesium

• Explanation: Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich in magnesium. A craving for chocolate might indicate a need for this essential mineral, which plays roles in muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production.

• Sources of Magnesium: Nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.

2. Ice (Pagophagia)

• Possible Deficiency: Iron

• Explanation: The compulsive consumption of ice, known as pagophagia, has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia. Chewing ice may provide temporary relief to oral inflammation caused by anemia.

• Sources of Iron: Red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, dark leafy greens, and iron-fortified cereals.

3. Salty Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Sodium or Chloride

• Explanation: An intense desire for salty snacks might suggest an electrolyte imbalance, particularly involving sodium or chloride. These minerals are vital for maintaining fluid balance and nerve function.

• Sources of Sodium and Chloride: Table salt, seafood, and vegetables like celery and tomatoes.

4. Red Meat

• Possible Deficiency: Iron or Vitamin B12

• Explanation: Craving red meat could signal low levels of iron or vitamin B12, both crucial for red blood cell formation and preventing anemia.

• Sources of Vitamin B12: Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.

5. Cheese or Dairy

• Possible Deficiency: Calcium or Vitamin D

• Explanation: A hankering for cheese or dairy products may indicate a need for calcium or vitamin D, essential for bone health and muscle function.

• Sources of Calcium: Dairy products, fortified plant-based milks, and leafy green vegetables.

• Sources of Vitamin D: Fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and exposure to sunlight.

6. Sugary Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Chromium or Magnesium

• Explanation: A sweet tooth might be linked to low levels of chromium, which aids in blood sugar regulation, or magnesium, involved in glucose metabolism.

• Sources of Chromium: Broccoli, grapes, whole-grain products, and meats.

7. Pickles or Sour Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Sodium

• Explanation: Craving pickles or sour foods can be a sign of sodium deficiency, especially in individuals with low blood pressure or those losing sodium through sweat.

8. Fried or Fatty Foods

• Possible Deficiency: Essential Fatty Acids

• Explanation: A desire for fried foods may suggest a lack of essential fatty acids, necessary for brain function and hormone production.

• Sources of Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty fish, flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds.

9. Carbonated Drinks

• Possible Deficiency: Calcium

• Explanation: Some theories propose that craving fizzy drinks is linked to low calcium levels, though more research is needed in this area.

The Broader Impact of Nutrient Deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies can manifest in various ways beyond cravings.

For instance:

• Iron Deficiency: Affects approximately one in three adults, leading to symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and pica (craving non-nutritional substances). Addressing this requires incorporating iron-rich foods into the diet or considering supplements under medical guidance.

• Hidden Hunger: This term refers to subclinical nutrient deficiencies that don’t show immediate symptoms but can increase the risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial to combat this issue.

Addressing and Preventing Nutrient Deficiencies

To mitigate cravings linked to nutrient deficiencies:

• Balanced Diet: Ensure a varied diet that includes all essential nutrients. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

• Regular Health Check-ups: Routine medical examinations can detect deficiencies early, allowing for timely interventions.

• Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger cues and cravings. Reflecting on what your body might be signaling can guide healthier food choices.

• Supplementation: When necessary, supplements can help address specific deficiencies. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you experience persistent cravings or suspect a nutrient deficiency, consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist is advisable. They can assess your dietary habits, identify potential deficiencies, and determine underlying causes, such as:

• Dietary Imbalances: Consuming foods that hinder nutrient absorption or lack essential nutrients.

• Malabsorption Issues: Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or environmental enteropathy can impair nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies. For instance, environmental enteropathy, prevalent in low-resource settings, is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, reducing nutrient absorption and leading to malnutrition and stunted growth.

• Medication Interactions: Some medications can interfere with nutrient absorption. For example, metformin, a common diabetes medication, has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.

A healthcare professional can conduct necessary tests to diagnose deficiencies and recommend appropriate dietary adjustments or supplements.

To summarise, cravings can serve as insightful indicators of our body’s nutritional needs. By understanding the potential links between specific cravings and nutrient deficiencies, we can make informed dietary choices that promote overall health. Emphasizing a balanced diet, staying attuned to our body’s signals, and seeking professional guidance when needed are pivotal steps toward well-being.
