Nutrition & Lifestyle

Overview

Nutrition & Lifestyle covers healthy diets, weight management, condition-specific eating (diabetic, heart-healthy), vitamins, hydration, and work-life balance. Our doctors and dietitians explain what actually works for Indian diets — the dal-rice-roti reality, festival eating, regional variations — instead of importing Western frameworks that ignore how people here actually live and eat.

Will Stopping Sugar Cure Diabetes? Myth vs Fact

🍬 Myth vs.

Myth vs Fact: Will Stopping Sugar Intake Cure Diabetes?There is a common belief that simply cutting out sugar can stop diabetes. Let’s understand the facts.Myth: Diabetes will go away if you stop eating sugar. Fact: Diabetes is a complex metabolic condition, not just a result of sugar intake. While reducing added sugars can help manage blood sugar levels, effective diabetes management requires a balanced approach that includes medication (when prescribed), regular physical activity, and a healthy diet. Stopping sugar alone does not cure diabetes.Myth: Only sugary foods impact blood sugar levels. Fact: Carbohydrates in various forms, such as bread, rice, pasta, and fruits, also affect blood sugar levels. Proper diabetes management involves balancing total carbohydrate intake, not just avoiding sweets.Myth: Cutting out sugar prevents Type 2 diabetes. Fact: Although reducing sugar intake supports a healthier lifestyle, other factors such as genetics, body weight, and physical activity levels also significantly influence diabetes risk. A comprehensive and balanced approach is essential.Diabetes management involves more than simply eliminating sugar. A structured and consistent plan is key to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.General Advice: If you have any medical concerns, please consult your doctor as soon as possible.

When Sugar Turns Silent: The Hidden Side of Diabetes

When Sugar Turns Silent: The Hidden Side of Diabetes

There’s a reason diabetes is called a silent disease. Most people don’t even realise something’s wrong until years later — when the damage is already done. It doesn’t always start with the “classic” symptoms you hear about, like excessive thirst or frequent urination. Sometimes it’s just small things you barely notice: feeling unusually tired, a cut that takes longer to heal, or waking up with a dry mouth. Easy to ignore, right? That’s how it sneaks in quietly. What’s scarier is that it’s not just an “older person’s problem” anymore. These days, more and more young adults — even teenagers — are being diagnosed. Long hours at desks, ready-to-eat meals, stress, and late-night screen time are all quietly adding fuel to the fire. Here’s the thing: you don’t need to wait for symptoms. A simple blood sugar check once or twice a year can catch issues early. If diabetes runs in your family, it’s even more important. And no, you don’t need to turn your life upside down — small changes like swapping a fizzy drink for water, adding a 20-minute walk to your day, or getting decent sleep can go a long way. Diabetes doesn’t announce its arrival. But you can stay a step ahead — by listening to your body and taking action before it’s too late.

What Is TAVI? A Minimally Invasive Treatment for Aortic Stenosis

What Is TAVI? A Minimally Invasive Treatment for Aortic Stenosis

Heart valve problems often progress quietly until everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even getting dressed begin to feel exhausting. One such condition is aortic stenosis, where the heart’s main valve becomes narrow and restricts blood flow. For many patients, especially elderly individuals or those with medical risks, open-heart surgery may not always be the safest option. This is where the TAVI procedure has transformed cardiac care.At Manipal Hospital Baner, Pune, advanced heart care now includes TAVI treatment, offering eligible patients a less invasive, life-changing alternative.

जीवनशैली में कुछ आसान बदलाव कर ब्रेन स्ट्रोक से करें बचाव!

ब्रेन स्ट्रोक से बचाव के लिए हेल्दी लाइफस्टाइल अपनाएं। अगर किसी को शुगर, बीपी या थाइरॉइड की शिकायत है तो उसे कंट्रोल करें। इससे ब्रेन स्ट्रोक की संभावना काफी हद तक कम हो जाती है। हर रोज ब्रिस्क वॉक करें और पोषण युक्त खाने का सेवन करें। आजकल लोग बाहर का खाना ज्यादा पसंद करते हैं। इस खाने में चर्बी, शुगर व हानिकारक तत्व मौजूद होते हैं जो व्यक्ति को नुकसान पहुँचा सकते हैं। इसीलिए बाहर के खाने से परहेज करें। इसके साथ ही धूम्रपान और शराब का सेवन भी ना करें। डॉ. जन्मेजय जामदार, न्यूरोसर्जन, ब्रेन स्ट्रोक से बचाव के लिए जीवनशैली में कुछ आवश्यक बदलाव करने की सलाह देते हुए।
