Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a Harvard and Stanford graduate, recently urged his followers to eliminate three surprisingly toxic items from their bathrooms immediately. In a viral video, he highlighted common everyday essentials that, if neglected, could pose serious health risks. He specifically pointed out toothbrushes, razors, and mouthwash as culprits that need urgent attention. Dr. Sethi began by listing the “three worst bathroom items” that should be discarded without delay. Topping the list was the toothbrush. He revealed that a staggering 75% of people continue using their toothbrushes beyond the recommended three-month period. Over time, toothbrushes lose up to 30% of their cleaning efficiency, and worse, the bristles become a breeding ground for bacteria, potentially harming oral health. The second item on his list is dull razors. He stated that dull razor blades cause 10 times more skin irritation. He urges everyone to replace them after just five to seven uses to avoid skin damage and infections. The final common washroom item that he warns everyone of is the anti-microbial mouthwash. He claimed that according to studies, such mouthwash can harm the beneficial bacteria in the mouth that can affect the balance of the gut microbiome.

Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Group Chairman, Inditrade Capital, says post correction, some of the larger banks, particularly SBI, is looking very good for somebody willing to build a long-term portfolio, Apart from that, one can look at some of the down-and-out banks which took a hit because of multiple reasons, particularly asset quality issues on the microfinance book. IndusInd Bank is one bank which I will definitely recommend from a little aggressive investors’ point of view. It is a good time to start buying into IndusInd Bank as well. Among pharma companies, one can go for domestic focused pharma companies like Mankind Pharma and pharma companies having significant manufacturing facilities in the US like Piramal Pharma. The other stock Bandyopadhyay likes is a defence PSU. There is a significant opportunity for Bharat Electronics (BEL) to perform and outperform. This correction should be taken as an opportunity to accumulate this stock. Some of the markers seem to be reversing.

Sudip Bandyopadhyay: Well, it may not be enough in the long term, but the short-term market is very much excited.
