Rishabh Pant’s Diet Secret: Know How He Made His Comeback In Indian Cricket Team
Rishabh Pant, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman for the Indian cricket team, has made a remarkable comeback after a serious accident, bolstered significantly by a dedicated dietary regimen that facilitated his substantial weight loss of 16 kg in just four months. His nutritional strategy, which was central to his recovery and return to peak physical form, has been extensively documented in a detailed feature on TheHealthSite.com, which is also one of the digital assets of IndiaDotcom Digital Private Limited.
The cornerstone of Pant’s diet, as highlighted by TheHealthSite.com, was an emphasis on gut health. This was achieved through a diet incorporating natural debloating powders made from herbs and spices, under the guidance of his nutritionist Shweta Shah. These preparations were crucial in enhancing the gut lining and preventing digestive issues, particularly important given Pant’s intensive medication regimen during his recovery.
Key Elements of Pant’s Diet as revealed by TheHealthSite.com:
1. Khichdi:
In the initial recovery phase, the diet prescribed by Shah included khichdi, a nourishing traditional Indian dish made from rice and lentils. This meal was specifically chosen for its ease of digestion and high nutritional value, enhanced further with vegetables and spices to aid recovery when Pant’s body was most vulnerable.
2. Ayurvedic Foods:
Shah, an advocate of Ayurvedic principles, avoided synthetic supplements and instead, incorporated natural, wholesome foods that are foundational to Ayurvedic medicine. As detailed on TheHealthSite.com, these foods were selected to improve Pant’s energy and stamina, critical for his athletic performance.
3. Alkaline Juices:
To address the gastric issues caused by ongoing medication, Shah included alkaline juices in Pant’s diet. These were crafted from a mix of anti-inflammatory ingredients like carrot, beetroot, amla (Indian gooseberry), mint, coriander, celery, and cucumber, helping to neutralize stomach acid and enhance overall health.
4. Spinach Dal Idli and Lean Meat Preparations:
Further diversifying Pant’s recovery diet, Shah introduced protein-rich and fiber-rich foods like spinach dal idli and carefully prepared lean chicken curry, using minimal oil. These dishes, as reported by TheHealthSite.com, were designed to be nutritious yet supportive of weight management, supplying essential proteins for muscle repair and strength, vital for Pant’s rigorous training demands.
The disciplined approach to nutrition, as described in detail on TheHealthSite.com, underscores the pivotal role targeted dietary strategies play in an athlete’s recovery and performance. Pant’s comeback not only highlights his dedication and resilience but also showcases the critical influence of specialized nutritional planning in professional sports.

Kochurani, a vibrant 55-year-old, suddenly found her world turned upside down
Kochurani, a vibrant 55-year-old, suddenly found her world turned upside down when she received the devastating diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer in February 2024. A cherished wife and mother of two, she had always been the beacon of strength and hope for her family and friends.
The Diagnosis:
It all began innocuously with a persistent dry cough in October 2023. Despite diligent adherence to prescribed medications, the cough lingered, prompting further investigation. A plain CT scan initially revealed pneumonia, leading to a two-week hospitalization for treatment. Yet, the cough persisted, prompting a contrast CT scan, which unveiled a concerning mass growth in her left lung. Subsequent lung biopsy confirmed the dreaded diagnosis: lung adenocarcinoma at an advanced stage.
Further tests, including a PET CT scan, revealed the aggressive nature of the cancer, which had metastasized to her right lung, bones, backbone, collar bone, pelvic regions, and the lining of the liver. Amidst escalating pain levels, she underwent radiotherapy to alleviate suffering while awaiting mutation analysis results.
The mutation test results unveiled a rare variant, ERBB2 Exon 20 Insertion, occurring in only 1-5% of adenocarcinoma cases, presenting a daunting treatment challenge. Recommended treatment protocol involved chemotherapy coupled with immunotherapy as the primary line of defence, followed by targeted therapy as the secondary approach. Each cycle of treatment required once every three weeks is a lifeline for Kochurani, promising a second chance to come back to Normal life.
The Plea:
While the family has exhausted savings and incurred loans for a sum of 6,50,000 INR to cover initial treatment costs, the staggering expenses for ongoing care, totalling 26,40,000 INR, looms large. This financial burden threatens to disrupt Kochurani’s crucial treatment regimen, jeopardizing her fight for a second chance at life.
In this time of dire need, we humbly appeal to the kindness and generosity of compassionate souls. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make an immense difference in Kochurani’s battle against cancer. Together, let us ensure she receives the timely treatment and care she so urgently requires, providing solace and support to her loving family in their time of need.

Happy Vibrations – A solo show of Artist Ghanshyam Gupta
New Delhi, 06th May, 2024: The Lexicon Art organised “Happy Vibrations”, a solo show of Ghanshyam Gupta at M -12, Connaught Place New Delhi- 110001. The show’s name alluded to a phrase that Ghanshyam often uses to qualify his paintings. He suggested that every emotion and feeling we experience emits a certain vibrational frequency and positive emotions, such as joy, love, gratitude, and contentment, vibrate at higher frequencies.
The chief guest at the event was Padma Shri & Padma Bhushan Raja & Radha Reddy and Kaushalya Reddy. The exhibition would remain open for all from 04th May to 03rd June, 2024 (Monday to Saturday from 11 am to 07 pm).
The guests spotted at the event were Mr. K.L. Ganju, Vilas Kulkarni, Sushma Singhvi, Ritu Soni Bhagat, Shinjani Kulkarni, Reshma Punj, Aashmeen Munjaal, Annie Munjal, Anchal Garg, Sumit Thakur, Nupur Kundu, Sanjana Jon & Designer Anupamaa Dayal to name a few came to celebrate the show of Artist Ghanshyam Gupta.
The resonance of Ghanshyam’s paintings was meant to evoke elation amongst admirers. This connected with his theory of colour therapy through which he sought to capture the viewer’s mind and affect their consciousness. Despite his expertise in representational, figurative art, Ghanshyam chose non-figurative forms for this show and had developed techniques specifically to capture the essence of the rising sun and the verdant nature, symbolic of his vision. The show itself then became an endeavour to emphasize the importance of cultivating positive vibrations and awakening glee through our surroundings.
