| Highlights
- Sattvic temple food traditions integrate nutrition, spirituality and low-waste practices in Indian hospitality contexts.
- Sattvic temple cuisines such as Mahaprasad and Chappan Bhog provide large‑scale plant‑forward meals embedded in sacred ritual and community.
- Dishes are fresh, minimally processed and rich in whole grains, pulses, vegetables and traditional fats, supporting gut-brain and anti‑inflammatory nutrition science.
- Prasad‑style sharing on banana‑leaf plates dissolves caste and class boundaries, fostering communitas, emotional safety and sense of grace for diners.
- Earthen pots, biomass cooking, local seasonal sourcing and circular redistribution of surplus food together minimize waste and carbon intensity.
- These temple food ways offer a practical model for hotels and wellness resorts to design nutrient‑dense, mentally supportive, low‑carbon dining experiences

| Highlights
- Whey protein concentrate significantly increased protein content, moisture retention, firmness and specific volume of gluten-free breads.
- Tetrasodium pyrophosphate improved gas retention and decreased baking weight loss, particularly at 0.4% concentration.
- The combination of 15% whey protein concentrate and 0.4% tetrasodium pyrophosphate received the highest sensory acceptability from the panelists.
- Structural, physicochemical and sensory quality of gluten-free bread were significantly enhanced.

| Highlights
- Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease induced by bacterial plaque. This is characterized by progressive destruction of the tooth-supporting structures, including the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone.
- The relationship between periodontal and systemic diseases may occur through two major mechanisms that often overlap.
- The vitamin plays essential biological roles in bone mineralization and preservation of calcified tissues, including teeth. In addition to its classical skeletal functions, vitamin D exerts pleiotropic immunomodulatory effects.
- Serum vitamin D significantly decreased post periodontal therapy.

- Mindful eating integrates present-moment awareness, sensory engagement, and recognition of hunger and satiety cues.
- Ancient yogic dietary principles and contemporary mindfulness provide complementary foundations for mindful eating.
- Mindful eating engages neurobiological and psychological pathways that support stress regulation, self-regulation, and healthier eating behaviours.
- Evidence highlights its potential as a holistic, non-pharmacological approach for weight management, metabolic and gastrointestinal health, mental well-being, and prevention of disordered eating.
