Are puffy armpits caused by lymph toxins or just normal swelling?
According to Dr Ubaid ur Rahman, armpit puffiness is not a marker of lymphatic stagnation or toxin accumulation. Lymph flow depends on muscular activity and breathing, not external appearance. Swollen nodes indicate immune response to infection or inflammation. Mislabeling such changes as "toxin overload" is scientifically unsupported and may mislead individuals about lymphatic health.

Why was Australia's target 131 even though India scored 136 in 1st ODI?
The first India-Australia ODI in Perth was reduced to 26 overs per side due to frequent rain interruptions. India lost early wickets and batted through changing over limits which lowered their resource percentage under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
