Tiny lifestyle changes, big gains for longevity

Banasree SarkarHealth

Simple lifestyle changes such as sleeping a few minutes longer, adding light exercise, and improving diet may significantly extend lifespan and improve overall health, according to recent long-term research. One large study that tracked around 60,000 people over eight years found that just five extra minutes of sleep combined with two minutes of moderate physical activity—such as brisk walking or climbing stairs—could add up to a year to a person’s life. Researchers also noted that adding half a serving of vegetables per day could deliver similar benefits, particularly for people with the poorest sleep, exercise, and dietary habits. The findings…

No link found between paracetamol and autism risk

Banasree SarkarHealth

A large new study has found that taking paracetamol during pregnancy does not increase the risk of autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or intellectual disabilities in children, helping settle a long-running debate over the drug’s safety. The findings come amid renewed public discussion after comments made in September 2025 by former US President Donald Trump, who claimed paracetamol was “no good” and urged pregnant women to avoid it. At the time, the US administration suggested the medication could raise the risk of autism, prompting concern among expectant mothers. The latest comprehensive review, published in a leading medical journal, found no evidence…

Obesity drugs offer control, not a cure

Banasree SarkarHealth

India has seen a major shift in obesity treatment over the past two years with the wider availability of powerful weight loss medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide. These drugs have helped many people lose 15–20% of their body weight — results once possible mainly through surgery. However, experts warn that stopping these medicines often leads to significant weight regain. Obesity is a chronic, relapsing disease, not a failure of willpower. When weight is lost, the body activates biological mechanisms that increase hunger, reduce fullness and slow metabolism, all pushing weight back up. Weight loss drugs suppress appetite and improve…

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. Exercise, particularly those with intensity, rhythm, or novelty, can improve mood, reduce stress, and increase mental clarity. Regular movement supports brain chemistry and regulates other feel-good hormones like serotonin and endorphins, making exercise a powerful tool for emotional well-being and motivation. HIIT workouts involve short, intense workouts followed by recovery periods, which boost dopamine and mood-boosting neurochemicals. Running, jogging, rhythmic movement with music, and dancing are all proven methods to boost dopamine levels, improving focus, energy, and emotional balance.…

Banasree SarkarHealth

According to experts here, frequent consumption of fast food—from deep-fried street snacks to quick-service restaurant chains—can seriously harm one's health and eventually result in a number of illnesses, including cancer and cardiovascular disorders, which can ultimately cause death. The physicians made this statement in response to recent viral messages on social media alleging that an 11th-grade kid from Uttar Pradesh's Amroha district who was taken to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi in December died as a result of consuming too much junk food. The girl had several health problems, including acute typhoid and complaints…

One walk a day could be the health boost you need

Banasree SarkarHealth

A short, brisk walk after eating might be one of the simplest and most effective ways to boost your health — especially if you have diabetes or struggle with high blood sugar levels. According to recent health insights, timing is key. Instead of walking immediately after your last bite, experts suggest waiting 10 to 15 minutes before heading out. This short delay aligns perfectly with the time when blood glucose levels start to rise, making your walk more effective in blunting glucose spikes and aiding digestion. For most people, 10–20 minutes of light to moderate walking at a pace of…

Obesity-cancer link tied to diet, not just weight

Banasree SarkarHealth

“You are what you eat” isn’t just a saying—it’s increasingly becoming a medical truth. A groundbreaking new study has uncovered compelling evidence that certain types of dietary fat—not just body fat—may play a critical role in cancer development among people with obesity. In a decade-long investigation, researchers discovered that the source of fat in the diet, rather than the amount of fat stored in the body, has a significant influence on tumor growth. The study, recently published in Nature Metabolism, reveals that animal-based fats such as lard, beef tallow, and butter actively weaken the immune system’s ability to fight cancer…
