As the global anti-ageing industry balloons—expected to surpass $80 billion by 2030—scientists and clinicians are urging caution. While some headlines promise the ability to reverse one’s biological age, experts argue that true longevity lies not in miracle pills or high-priced supplements, but in sustainable lifestyle changes backed by emerging science.

As rates of heart disease and high cholesterol continue to rise across urban and rural populations, nutritionists are turning their attention to how Indians are cooking—not just what they’re cooking. The Heat That Hurts At the center of the concern is a widespread reliance on cooking practices that involve overheating oils, deep-frying, and the repeated reuse of oil. “When oils are heated past their smoke point, they break down and release…
