NewsTaking more than 4,000 IU of vitamin D daily without medical supervision can cause hypercalcemia, kidney damage, and — as documented in India — near-dialysis-level kidney failure in otherwise healthy adults.
NewsEven two nights of poor sleep can temporarily reduce insulin sensitivity by up to 30%, and habitual short sleepers face a significantly elevated risk of type 2 diabetes, according to multiple large-scale studies.
NewsUPFs are fattening because of their calorie density (~378 kcal/100g), low fiber, and soft textures that speed eating and suppress satiety, not industrial processing itself.
NewsMost consumers lack basic gut microbiome literacy (only 15% globally know the term), while food brand founders learn that fiber diversity, fermentation, and the gut-brain axis are the real levers of digestive health.
NewsVitamin E is eight distinct molecules split into tocopherols and tocotrienols; the forms differ structurally, functionally, and in bioavailability, so yes, the form really does matter.
NewsCreatine's strongest evidence is for muscle strength and lean mass in older adults; cognitive and aging benefits are promising but still emerging as of 2026.
LaunchesIndia's EBF rate dropped from 63.7% to 55.8% between NFHS-5 and NFHS-6, driven by postnatal support gaps, rising C-sections, and economic pressures forcing early return to work.
NewsFive common daily habits (sugary chai breakfasts, carb-heavy meals, prolonged sitting, late dinners, and routine junk snacking) silently worsen insulin resistance and raise the risk of type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease.

NewsA 2026 Cell Stem Cell study shows chronic stress suppresses two brain regions, depletes gut Lactobacillus reuteri and spermidine, and accelerates immune aging via bone marrow stem cell damage.

NewsShingles infection disrupts blood sugar in diabetics; the vaccine prevents that disruption and may also slow biological aging and reduce inflammation in older adults.
NewsHigh-dose steroids given during India's COVID-19 second wave are triggering avascular necrosis in adults in their 30s, causing a 40% spike in hip replacements in that age group.
NewsPrediabetes disrupts insulin regulation enough to cause both elevated fasting glucose (100-125 mg/dL) and post-meal reactive hypoglycemia, making blood sugar swings in both directions a real metabolic risk.
NewsIndia is moving from treating anaemia after detection to preventing it across every life stage, using digital tools, pre-conception care, and population-wide supplementation under Anaemia Mukt Bharat.

NewsSleeping 6.2 hours or less per night for 6 weeks raises insulin resistance by up to 20.1% in women, independent of body weight changes, according to NIH-funded research published in Diabetes Care.
NewsIndia's cholesterol crisis goes beyond LDL: metabolic risk, lifestyle factors, and low treatment adherence demand a multi-marker, multi-strategy approach aligned with 2026 global and Indian-specific guidelines.
NewsIndia has banned 800+ irrational FDC drugs since 2016, including 16 in June 2026, because expert bodies found them clinically unjustified and linked to adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance.
NewsIndia expanded Schedule H2 QR code traceability from the top 300 pharma brands to all vaccines, antimicrobials, anti-cancer, and NDPS drugs, with phased compliance deadlines of July 2027 and July 2028.
NewsEarly-life adversity rewires mitochondrial energy production, producing hypermetabolism and elevated mitochondrial DNA content that increase lifelong disease risk. The type of adversity matters, not just its total amount.
NewsA longer fast does not guarantee lower blood sugar. The dawn phenomenon, hepatic glucose release, and insulin resistance can all push fasting glucose higher after 13 hours than after 8.
NewsThe gut-brain axis is real and bidirectional, but most psychobiotic supplements still lack the human clinical trial data needed to back their mental health claims.
LaunchesNFHS-6 shows stunting dropped to 29.3% but wasting is flat and only 15% of young children eat adequately. Diet quality, not healthcare access, is now India's core nutrition bottleneck.
