Diabetes emerging as key factor behind rising early cataract cases in India

Doctors across India are witnessing a growing number of patients developing cataracts in their 40s and 50s, with diabetes increasingly emerging as a major contributing factor. As the burden of diabetes rises in the country, ophthalmologists say persistently high blood sugar levels are accelerating changes in the eye’s natural lens, leading to earlier onset and faster progression of cataracts. India is currently home to over 101 million adults living with diabetes and 136 million with prediabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. While diabetic retinopathy is among the better-known eye complications associated with the condition, experts note that cataract is also becoming a significant concern, parti...

It came out in 2021, and was the bottom...

Follow these nutrition expert tips for better digestion during monsoon

The arrival of the monsoon is often welcomed with relief from the scorching summer heat. But while the rains bring cooler temperatures and lush greenery, they also usher in a less-discussed seasonal challenge: digestive discomfort. Many people notice that during the rainy season they feel bloated more easily, experience sluggish digestion, lose their appetite, or become more susceptible to stomach infections. According to gastroenterologists, these symptoms are not merely coincidental. Changes in humidity, food contamination risks, and seasonal shifts in gut function can all influence digestive health. This is where the ‘slow-cook philosophy’ comes in—a simple yet evidence-based approach that prioritises warm, cooked foods over raw salads, chilled beverages, and difficult-to-digest meals...
