Meet Riya and Neha. Both are 5’4”. Both weigh 62 kilos. Both think they’re “average.” Riya eats clean, walks 8,000 steps daily, and does light yoga. Neha eats on time too — it’s just that her meals include samosas, sugary...

You beat the virus. You tested negative. You went back to work. But weeks later, something still feels… off. The body’s fine, reports are “normal,” and yet, climbing stairs feels like scaling Everest. Your mind says, “You’re just being lazy.”...

Let’s start with a confession. Most people don’t really read their cholesterol report. They either: a) Glance at the numbers and go, “Phew! All normal.” b) Spot one red mark, panic, and Google “home remedies for high cholesterol” faster than...

Say the word cholesterol in any Indian household and watch everyone suddenly look guilty. It’s the Voldemort of health — “the thing that must not be named.” Aunty stops eating eggs. Uncle swears off butter (for a week). And everyone...
