Health experts are sounding the alarm over the growing number of diabetes cases that go undiagnosed for months — and sometimes years — because early symptoms are often mistaken for everyday health issues. Doctors say this delay in recognising the warning signs is leading to late detection and avoidable complications. According to endocrinologists, Type 2 diabetes typically begins with subtle changes in the body that do not appear alarming. Many patients initially attribute these signs to stress, ageing, workload or seasonal fatigue, and therefore do not seek timely medical evaluation. A senior diabetologist explained that one of the most commonly…

Study flags potential breast cancer danger from high-fat keto diet

Sonakshi SarkarHealth

The ketogenic diet, which is low in carbs and rich in fat, is very popular for losing weight, but a recent study on animals has shown that it may increase the risk of aggressive breast cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer risk can also be increased by high lipid levels brought on by fatty acids, a major aspect of obesity that encourages tumor growth. According to the study, which was carried out in preclinical mouse models, obese breast cancer patients and survivors may benefit from lipid-lowering treatments, but they should stay away from high-fat weight loss plans like ketogenic diets.

The appendix: not as useless as we once thought

Sonakshi SarkarHealth

For decades, the appendix was widely dismissed as a useless leftover from human evolution—an organ with no clear purpose except to cause trouble when it becomes inflamed.

Researchers now believe the appendix plays a role in the immune system, particularly during childhood and adolescence. The small, tube-shaped organ attached to the large intestine contains a high concentration of lymphoid tissue, which helps the body recognize and respond to harmful microbes. This has led scientists to see the appendix as part of…

Sonakshi SarkarHealth

Reducing sugar intake is increasingly being recommended as an important lifestyle change for better health. Lowering the consumption of added sugars can help improve metabolic health, stabilise energy levels and support overall wellbeing. However, many people find that the initial phase of cutting down on sugar can be challenging as the body adjusts to a new pattern of energy use.

These reactions occur because the body is adapting to fewer rapid…

Low-impact workouts that stimulate dopamine

Banasree SarkarHealth

A dopamine workout is a physical activity that stimulates the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, pleasure, and focus.

Running, jogging, rhythmic movement with music, and dancing are all proven methods to boost dopamine levels, improving focus, energy, and emotional balance.…
