Truth Behind Drinking Pepper Stem Tea For Curing COVID-19

During the tenure of the pandemic, many people have claimed many things are its solution. However, each of them has been denied by official health organizations. On the same wavelength, there is now another supposed solution that is being discouraged by WHO.

Facebook Reports Wrong

Reports on Facebook were circulating a status that included a remedy for coronavirus. The status guaranteed that the said remedy would 100% cure coronavirus. If you’re wondering what it was, it was pepper stem tea!

Though this is written in Korean, when translated to English, we get the result that it sells pepper stem tea as an“effective medicine to cure Coronavirus.” Moreover, it even guarantees “full recovery within two or three days.”

How to Make The Tea

Additionally, there are also instructions on how to make tea. You need to “prepare 100g of pepper stems, three jujubes, and seven coarse salts. (Wash pepper stems clearly with water). Pour 2 liters of water and start boiling it down.” The status also indicates that there are no side effects!

Shared posts claimed that drinking this tea effectively builds a stronger immunity to fight coronavirus or bring a person back to health after it. However, is there any truth to this?

All Those Remedies Are Not A Cure

The claim, however, has been labeled as false by the Association of Korean Medicine. They have reported that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim. Kim Gye-jin, a director at the Association of Korean Medicine, told a news outlet that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim.

The World Health Organization (WHO), moreover, has also said that this remedy has not been medically proven. If there were such effective, inexpensive, and natural cures, then countries would not be scampering for the vaccines as of now. 

As of December 30, 2020, the WHO has also stated on its website: “There is no evidence that current medicine can prevent or cure the disease, while some western, traditional or home remedies may provide comfort and alleviate symptoms of Covid-19.”

What Do We Take Away From This?

From this, we learn again that whatever we see on Facebook must not be trusted. Secondly, we see, as WHO has stated, that officially there is no cure for the virus yet. However, that does not mean that one can not try remedies known to bring one comfort!

Zaid Ali Drops A ‘Hint’ On Becoming A Father Soon

Zaid Ali has just hinted at joining the dad club and we’ve got questions!

The Couple

Yumna and Zaid got married a few years ago and since then not only has Yumna become a part of his content but they have also achieved many things together. Take, for instance, their house that they built all by their own savings— that’s a pretty big deal!

Very recently Zaid Ali posted on Instagram about buying Yumna a luxury car because well, every day should be celebrated. Amongst themselves, they run a pretty tight ship but now it seems the members of the ship are increasing.

New Years Wishes and Hints

Zaid Ali posted a picture with Yumna on New Year’s Eve to wish his fans and followers health and happiness. The picture is beyond adorable and also speaks to the couple’s skills when it comes to photography and editing. It’s warm, bright, and festive!

A post shared by ZaidAliT (@zaidalit)

The real deal comes to light when a fan said underneath “only waiting for baby Zaid now” to which Zaid Ali’s reply has got us hooked! The famous vlogger said “me too” with a laughing emoji decorating his response. We’ve got no idea whether that means the baby is coming soon and he’s waiting for that. Or it could very well mean the baby is still pretty non-existent.

It seems the two have given weight to more rumours that will now prop up after these replies. Whatever it may be, hopefully, they won’t get a barrage of criticism from desi fans who are annoying at still no baby!

Zaid Ali’s Finest Hour (not)

Zaid Ali also received heavy backlash recently when he posted about his wife on Twitter. Albeit we can assume his intentions were good, the manner in which he had phrased his wife’s so-called inspirational story was problematic. He suggested that initially when they got married, Yumna received a lot of hate over her looks and skin colour. However, all these years later, she’s still strong.

Now, this may seem harmless, it is only when the actual tweet is read that one sees the underlying message. Fans have interpreted that as Zaid Ali indirectly saying “she hasn’t really become pretty, she’s just strong!” which made several people unhappy.

New Auto Policy Pakistan 2022-2026: Car Prices To Go Down

new auto policy
Image Source: Wall Street Journal

The past few years have been remarkable for the Pakistani automotive industry. It used to be an industry dominated by a few manufacturers who had almost no competition amongst themselves and resorted to releasing the same model of their cars every year with no major changes and updates.

Image Source: Wall Street Journal

The industry had been stagnant for a long time until the Auto Development Policy (ADP) of Pakistan (2016-2021) was introduced and implemented by the government to encourage new competitors to enter the market. In the past few years, we have seen many new entrants in the market including KIA, United, Proton, and many others who have enabled it for customers to choose their vehicles from a range of companies rather than opting for one or two cars that are being seen on the roads of Pakistan since decades.

However, Pakistani consumers have often complained about the massive price-tags on the car which has made it difficult for an average consumer to purchase a brand new car directly from the company and certain sources say that a policy is being worked upon by the government which will resolve this issue for the customers.

What Is To Be Expected From The New Auto-Policy (2022-2026)

Certain news outlets and sources have hinted at a new policy being worked on by the Government of Pakistan which is expected to provide relief to the customers.

According to certain sources at the Ministry of Industry and Production (MoIP), the new Auto Development Policy is working on formulating a strategy to help a middle class Pakistani be able to purchase his own brand new car. The same sources claim that the Government is planning to set a maximum limit of Rs. 10 lacs for all small cars which will enable consumers to get relief of 4-5 lacs as per current price-trends.

It is also being expected that policy-makers are focusing on reducing the dominance created by local manufacturers and for that, they will reduce the duties and taxes on imported cars drastically to increase competition amongst the companies.

When Will The Policy Be Implemented

The current ADP (2016-2021) will end on 30th June 2021 so it is expected that the new ADP will be implemented from 1st July 2021 onwards.

It is too early to expect anything unless there is a formal announcement by the Ministry or a Government Official however the final draft of the policy is expected to be formulated by March 2021.

According To Reports, Israeli Tourists Are Shamefully Stealing Valuables From Dubai Hotels

Image Source: Getty Images

Diplomatic relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel were almost non-existent in the past until last year when both countries signed an agreement mediated by the President Of The United States, Donald Trump.

As per the deal, both countries have mutually agreed to begin a new journey and normalize their diplomatic relations which are expected to support the businesses, trade, and tourism of both countries.

The agreement was named the Abraham Accord which was formulated by government officials of both countries with the United States acting as a mediator before it was formally signed in August 2020.

Image Source: Getty Images

Considering the importance of the United Arab Emirates, not only in the Middle East but in the world, this news came as a major shock especially from its Muslim-majority countries & allies who are against the prosecution and oppression of the Palestinians by the Israeli Government who have had bitter relations and have fought countless wars as a reaction to the brutalities inflicted by the Israeli military forces and bureaucracy.

As per reports, Certain Israeli Tourists Who Have Started Visiting The United Arab Emirates Have Been Stealing From The Hotel

As a result of this diplomatic deal between the two governments, a lot of Israelis have visited the country in the past few months. As per reports, a significant number of tourists who have come from Israel have been robbing the hotels and stealing their valuables, something that was not occurring too often in the hotels of the United Arab Emirates which is one of the most famous tourists hotspots in Asia.

Some have taken it to the next level by criticizing the agreement between the two countries, referring to Israelis as Zionist occupiers who have earlier robbed the Palestinians off their homes and are now robbing the hotels of Dubai.

Middle East Monitor also reported several hotel officials complaining about the behavior of certain tourists who have arrived at Dubai from Israel in the past few months, reporting many of the valuables and appliances getting stolen and even catching a few of the tourists sneaking out of the hotels with their appliances while checking-out.

It is also important to note that due to the pandemic, the flight fares and hotel charges have reduced drastically. Many people have taken leverage of this time and are opting for vacations, taking full advantage of the low prices and costs of tourism however, it is extremely shameful to not be considerate of the host country, their employees, and their culture when one is visiting their country as a tourist.

Mysterious UFO Above The Ocean Caught On Camera

mysterious ufo

The UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) always give us believers an adrenaline rush, do they not? The idea that aliens might be coming finally is so intriguing. Although the true alien experts like some of us would know that aliens are already amidst us, they just hide their existence from us. Yet, the appearance of the mysterious UFOs definitely sends a thrill to amateurs and experts alike.

Mysterious UFOs in 2021

So as it turns out, aliens chose 2021 to come to Hawaii; talk about all the Hollywood movies. I guess they got the notice that they are to arrive in the USA first. A few days into 2021, a woman saw in the night sky a glowing object. It was no firework. The movement of it at least didn’t seem like fireworks. The blue object hovered in the sky. Obviously, the women demonstrated quick thinking and made a video. As she followed the object, it crashed into the ocean.

What’s amazing is that it wasn’t just her who saw the UFO. Several other bystanders witnessed it and caught it on camera. They also informed the police. Naturally, the police forwarded the reports to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). According to the videos, the object was flying near Haleakala Avenue in Nanakuli.

Where did it go?

Another eyewitness of the UFO, who is a non-believer of UFOs, decided to follow the object. She drove for 3 miles until she saw the object crash in the ocean without a sound. She describes the object to be larger than a telephone pole. After this, they decided to call the police. The police arrived, and they all saw another object, this time, white. It went over a town and then disappeared.

Since the FAA had gotten involved, they too investigated. They stated that there are no missing aircraft. So the oblong-shaped object can only be a UFO. Authorities have also checked the ocean, but there are no traces of the object.

Now, the question is, where did it go? Could it have gone to the lost city of Atlantis built by aliens? Or or or, did you ever wonder that it was not an alien (because, well, they are already among us) but a dragon. Baba Vanga did mention there will be a dragon who will visit the earth this year. Or maybe it was a UFO in the shape of a dragon. So many possibilities!

Everything You Need To Know About Nadia Khan’s Husband

Image Source: Youtube

[Update]: Nadia Khan got married again recently and following the news of her marriage there were quite many speculations. People wondered whether it was her 4th marriage or not and that how many children she has. She gave appropriate answers to all those queries. You can read all that below. But this time she took her time out to introduce her husband to her fans.

On her public account, OutstylewithNadia, Nadia Khan shared a picture with her husband and wrote in detail about the wing commander Faisal Mumtaz.

Her caption:

“My husband Wing Commander Faisal Mumtaz Rao is a retired PAF officer and fighter pilot. Born in Lahore in 1970, Faisal joined Pakistan Air Force as a commissioned officer in the 90th GDP course back in 1991. He is known to be one of the most competent and distinguished pilots with 30 years of Flying and Management experience with leading air forces of the world.”

It is so nice that Nadia Khan knows she is a celebrity and that people care about her life so she took out the time to let her fans know who her husband is. We wish you all the best of luck Nadia. Stay happy!



 

Nadia Khan was among the first people to host morning shows, and she would host in a time when morning shows were free of shadi functions. She maintained a standard. After that, she left the morning shows. Some time back, she acted in a drama where she opts for divorce. In an interview, she claimed that it was her story.

Nadia Khan and her children

In the meantime, rumors started developing that Nadia has already been married twice. And so, when a week ago her wedding photos surfaced, people were guessing it to be her 3rd or 4th marriage. And since she had shared a picture of 3 kids in the past, that picture served as a point affirming the rumors.

Her son, Kiaan

The actress-host had also shared a picture with her son Kiaan with a caption that read:

‘Such pure joy to have baby at home who loves you unconditionally and makes u smile at any time of the day ..Mama loves you Kiaan my prince..plz say mashallah.’

It became the conversation starter for her followers on Instagram, who are always searching for some masala, or they do not realize that their comments can hurt somebody. So the comments started rolling in where people wanted to know who was the baby-daddy. Such comments were recent, considering they had just gotten to know about her marriage.

Image Source: Instagram

Nadia Khan clarifies her marital status

So when people started asking her questions on her wedding photo, she decided to answer one of the followers and shut down the rumors once and for all. On her profile, OutstylewithNadia, Kashafsyed_ asked Nadia very technically, very innocently. However, I have a problem with the faux innocent who pretends to be nice, but they really want to hurt other people. If you are confused as to whether the other person wants to hurt you, a significant signal would be them saying, ‘oh, we just want to clear the confusion.’

Well, honestly speaking, I didn’t even understand her question.

Image Source: Instagram

What was clear, though, everyone assumed Kiaan to be her biological son. So she answered her and everyone else that Kiaan, her youngest son, is adopted. And she further clarifies that it is her second marriage, not third or fourth. Although, one can wonder why it is anyone’s concern how many marriages she has had. Can people not be happy for someone else?

Heroes are everywhere on earth. It is said that hard times create heroes out of ordinary people. They rise when the moment calls for it, and they don’t back down when the storm hits. It is one of the most known pieces of information that heroes don’t take part in the celebration of victory. A hero is the one who pays the price just so the other people can have a better tomorrow.

They came in all shapes and sizes, in every form of profession. Some Policemen go down in the line of duty, and some teachers spend their lives spreading knowledge and shaping minds. Similarly, Doctors are the fighting force behind our people. They try their best to save lives and bringing comfort to people. In light of this, another hero has come into the light. This Doctor deserves every bit of appreciation they get.

Acts Of Kindness

Where there is evil being kept at bay, what is it that’s holding its bay? Yes, Yin Yang is an extremely important balance of life. It is a principle that must be kept in perspective while doing anything. Acts of Kindness are the fuel that keeps the engine of peaceful life going.

Many people don’t perform such acts with means of personal gain. They do this because they feel it is the right thing to do. Selfless acts can be hard to find, but they do exist. There is a Pakistani Doctor who is doing such acts. May his work bring him more fruits of success. His act of kindness will neither go unnoticed, nor will it be unrewarded. Islam states that Allah takes care of those who take care of His creations, be it people or animals or plants.

Waiving Bill

Dr. Omar Atiq, a Pakistani national living in America, has waived off $650,000 worth of medical bills. He did this as a Christmas gift for his patients. Is that not one of the most heartwarming things you have ever heard in your life? Apparently, the doctor sent his patients a congratulatory message saying their bills have been paid in full.

Many social media platforms have highlighted this act as one of the kindest acts on earth. Dr. Atiq has a colorful history of achievements and has even been the first Non-White president of the Arkansas Medical society in 2013.

Harmony On Earth

These acts not only give a sense of hope to people; it brings a smile to their face too. It can be quite expensive to pay medical bills and stay in debt for years. Imagine the front of the people light up when they realize the bill has been waived.

Angels like these must be appreciated and protected at all costs. Not everyone can be so kind to other human beings. After all, there should be nothing but massive respect for someone who takes care of people’s illnesses for free! The writer of this article is just in a state of enormous respect for the Doctor.

Although a huge fan and on-looker, Pakistan is still an under-developed country when it comes to the  ever-expanding automotive industry. The unstable economic and law security situation has creates a hostile environment for global luxury auto brands to operate in Pakistan leaving the country with obsolete and limited options to choose from.

According To Research, Exercising In Cold Weather Burns More Fat

When the weather gets colder, we all want to skip the jog, the run or the home workout. However, recent studies have shown you might just be losing out on extra fat burns!

Colder Weather Can Burn More Fat

A new study has shown that exercising in colder temperatures can help burn more fat. At least it can do that in short, high-intensity workouts.

In a study, 11 “moderately fit, overweight” adult volunteers were chosen for observation of their lipid oxidation – the technical term for burning fat. The study showed that this increased by more than three times during exercise in a colder environment of 32 degrees Fahrenheit. As opposed to in “thermoneutral” environment of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius) which was lesser.

Point being, people lost more fat when exercising in colder weather!

How Did They Reach A Conclusion?

It started with taking the participants through a set of standard workouts for high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), also known (HIIT), at various temperatures. 

Researchers from Laurentian University in Canada remark, “This is the first known study to investigate the effects of cold ambient temperatures on acute metabolism. Especially during high-intensity interval exercise, as well as postprandial metabolism the next day.”

The researchers basically observed that HIIT workouts in a cold environment change metabolism. It is done acutely as opposed to doing the workouts in thermoneutral temperatures. When our bodies get active, they become more able to process nutrients and regular lipid or fat levels in the blood.

What Was Found?

Due to the limited number of volunteers, no sweeping statements can be made. However, the researchers suggest it is an interesting point, to begin with. It was never thought before that the temperature could have any effect on the burn of fat during high-intensity workouts.

Previous studies have although shown that HIIE is very effective at burning off fat. Moreover, a link is established between body metabolism after exercise and how hot or cold the environment is. This new study, however, combines those two fields of research to look for further correlations and suggestions.

TikTok Couple Arrested For Posing As Rawalpindi Police

TikTokers have been all the rage ever since the app became a worldwide success. It has produced many celebrities and for those celebrities to maintain the status quo, they have to come up with regular content. And coming up with content is hard. So they have to be on their toes constantly. This TikTok couple was also going through that, and for lack of content or not, they ended up doing a video based on police.

Tiktok Couple get arrested

The Tiktok couple dressed up in Rawalpindi police uniforms. And they made Tiktok videos. Rawalpindi police did not take kindly to the impersonation and made the arrest on Sundays. They presented themselves as officers of Adiala Jail. The pictures and videos were uploaded on TikTok. The police themselves registered the case. As evidence, they confiscated the uniforms, the laptops, and phones, basically anything that was remotely linked to that particular video.

The Rawalpindi police

Rai Mazhar Iqbal, SP Rawalpindi, said that SHO city and DSP City led the team to make the arrest. They said that the suspects would be fined and punished.

It reminds one of another Tiktok star who was arrested for reckless driving. The star was making a video for his account that had more than one million followers. The matter was brought to authorities’ attention, and Punjab Highway Patrol Police made the arrest. The star, Daniyal Haider, was speeding near Choa Saidan Shah.

In another instance, a Tiktoker was arrested for torturing his brother and pushing him into the canal, just for the sake of getting more views. One should mention that the brother being tortured was mentally challenged. These instances should be enough to convey that to gain more views; people let go of all the bars.

So when a Tiktoker couple makes a video for an evident crime (impersonating the police), it’s not really unthinkable of an act. They were arrested from the Ganj Mandi area.

6 Common Mistakes You’re Making While Cooking A Steak

The perfect steak laid out

There’s nothing like a juicy beefsteak for celebratory events or a flavourful chicken fillet for those who like to play it safe. But, as surprising as they may be, they’re quite tricky to get perfect. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a pro; all of us can make mistakes in the kitchen; however, if you want to find out how to nail the perfect steak every time, keep reading!

1. You’re Afraid of Seasoning It

Your steaks need to be drenched and drown in a potent concoction of spices and herbs to deliver a punch. There’s no such thing as too much seasoning when it comes to making a good steak, so don’t hold back.

2. It Isn’t At Room Temperature

Before you cook your steak, you have to make sure that your choice of meat is allowed to rest. Make sure to keep it out for at least 30 minutes before you cook it. A cold steak will reduce the temperature of the pan, and your steak will become soggy.

3. Let It Rest After Cooking

Wrap your steak in a foil cover

A freshly cooked steak is too tempting to resist, we hear you, but your efforts can go to waste. After they’re done cooking, like other foods, they cook further while they’re cooling. If you cut into it right after, the moisture inside the steak can spill out. As a result, your steak will be drier and less juicy.

Cover it in foil for 10-15 minutes after cooking and then eat your heart out.

4. You Don’t Pre-heat Your Pan

The secret to achieving the perfect crust is on the steak lies in the pan too. You need to heat your non-stick frying pan for at least 10-15 minutes before you add your oil and steak. One way to check it is by hovering your hand above the pot and see if you feel the heat.

5. You’re Not Flipping It Enough

A common misconception is that steaks should be slipped only once to get the grill marks looking perfect. However, that can ruin your meat once you take it off the pan. Flipping it multiple times not only makes it cook faster but makes it juicy from the inside. A well-cooked steak is a goal here; aesthetics can take a back-seat.

6. You’re Not Using The Right Oil

Olive oil is not the best option for steaks at all. They require a high smoke point oil such as canola, grapeseed, sunflower, or vegetable. Smoke point refers to the temperature at which the oil burns and olive oil has a low smoke point.

As a consequence, the oil can start burning at the temperature required to cook a steak and give a smokey flavor.

Which of these mistakes were you making? Let us know in the comments below!
