In an era of constant information, it’s easy to fall prey to sensational health claims promising quick fixes and miraculous results. From powders to diets, the internet is rife with supposed health hacks.

But how much truth lies behind these claims? Recently, nutritionist Sakshi Lalwani took to Instagram to share ‘5 health hacks no dietitian will ever tell you’. ‘Trust me, they’re game-changing,’ she said in the video. To separate fact from fiction, we reached out to an expert.

Claim: ‘If you want your waist to shrink and just need that flab gone, invest in a quality colostrum powder as soon as you can.’

Fact: Colostrum, the first milk produced by mammals, does contain various nutrients and antibodies vital for newborns’ health. Tanya Mehra, child nutritionist and yoga trainer toldindianexpress.com that these bioactive compounds could potentially aid in weight loss and overall well-being.

‘By incorporating this supplement into your daily routine, you may experience improvements in body composition and metabolic health over time,’ she added. However, Mehra pointed out that more research is needed to validate these claims.

Claim: ‘Dried sea moss is an ancient way to reverse aging. Make certain that you use a trusted brand as there are lots of scams out there.’

Fact: With its abundance of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, sea moss has been revered for centuries for its rejuvenating properties, said Mehra. However, she cautioned that no natural ingredient can reverse aging.

While it can be a nutritious addition to your diet, solely relying on sea mossfor anti-aging purposes is unfounded. ‘It’s crucial to ensure that you are purchasing authentic sea moss from reputable sources, as the market is rife with counterfeit products,’ Mehra recommended.
