In a bold move to address India’s growing epidemic of lifestyle-related illnesses, two of the country’s top health agencies have issued sweeping new dietary guidelines. The Indian Council of Medical Research–National Institute of Nutrition (ICMR–NIN), based in Hyderabad, in collaboration with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), has capped daily consumption of sugar at 25 grams and total oil intake—including ghee and butter—at 30 grams per person. The initiative, backed by the Union Health Ministry, will see these limits prominently displayed on public-facing posters across schools, hospitals, railways, and airports nationwide, in what officials describe as a…

एक व्यापक वास्तविक दुनिया-आधारित अध्ययन ने मोटापे के इलाज के लिए चिकित्सा दृष्टिकोण को फिर से परिभाषित करने की दिशा में एक अहम कदम बढ़ाया है। इस अध्ययन में पाया गया है कि गंभीर मोटापे से जूझ रहे मरीजों के लिए बेरियाट्रिक सर्जरी की तुलना में GLP-1 रिसेप्टर एगोनिस्ट दवाएं दीर्घकालिक और स्थायी वजन घटाने में काफी पीछे हैं। यह शोध 2025 में अमेरिकन सोसाइटी फॉर मेटाबोलिक एंड बेरियाट्रिक सर्जरी (ASMBS) की वार्षिक बैठक में प्रस्तुत किया गया, जिसमें 63,000 से अधिक वयस्कों का विश्लेषण किया गया जिनका बॉडी मास इंडेक्स (BMI) 35 या उससे अधिक था। अध्ययन में उन…
ब्रिटेन में वैज्ञानिकों ने एक ऐतिहासिक उपलब्धि हासिल करते हुए ऐसे आठ बच्चों का जन्म सफलतापूर्वक कराया है, जो तीन व्यक्तियों के डीएनए से उत्पन्न हुए हैं। इस उन्नत जीन-संपादन तकनीक का उद्देश्य गंभीर माइटोकॉन्ड्रियल बीमारियों को अगली पीढ़ी तक जाने से रोकना है, जो माताओं के माध्यम से संतानों में स्थानांतरित होती हैं। इस प्रक्रिया को माइटोकॉन्ड्रियल डोनेशन ट्रीटमेंट (MDT) कहा जाता है। इसमें मां के भ्रूण से दोषपूर्ण माइटोकॉन्ड्रिया को हटाकर एक डोनर महिला के स्वस्थ माइटोकॉन्ड्रिया से प्रतिस्थापित किया जाता है। भ्रूण का 99.8% डीएनए माता-पिता से आता है, जबकि केवल 0.2% माइटोकॉन्ड्रियल डीएनए डोनर से लिया…
In a world where caffeine fixes and sugar cravings are considered routine coping mechanisms for fatigue, one American cardiologist is challenging the norm—urging millions to recognize these everyday habits as potential signs of deeper metabolic imbalance. Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a U.S.-based cardiologist and wellness advocate, recently took to social media to share a growing concern among physicians: the increasing number of patients reporting energy crashes, irritability, bloating, and an overreliance on coffee or sugary snacks to power through the day.
