Sophie Choudry talks show, career shift and acting plans

In an exclusive conversation, Sophie Choudry opened up about her fitness talk show Famously Fit with Sophie, her evolving creative journey, and her desire to return to acting with more meaningful roles. Talking about her passion for fitness, Sophie said, “Fitness has always been such an integral part of my life. It’s actually, I really believe it’s a lifestyle and not just something that one does for the sake of it. It’s, you know, a lifelong journey and something I truly believe in.” She added that post-pandemic, perspectives have shifted significantly. “I realized post-COVID, fitness and health has become way more important, not just for celebrities, but actually for the common man… It’s not about being skinny. It’s about being fit and healthy.” Source link

Elderly Kolkata woman walks again after being paralysed for 10 months

Kolkata doctors have successfully restored mobility in a 61-year-old woman from Dhanbad who had been bedridden with paralysis of both lower limbs for nearly 10 months. The patient, a known case of Ankylosing Spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory condition that causes the spine to become rigid and fragile, presented with a T10–T11 fracture with Anderson lesion, a highly unstable spinal injury affecting all three columns of the spine. Her condition had led to significant neurological compromise, with lower limb power reduced to 1–2/5, indicating minimal movement and severe weakness. Given her prolonged paralysis, associated muscle wasting, and extended immobility, the chances of neurological recovery were considered extremely limited, making this a highly complex and high-risk case when she ...

I Keep This Solis Pocket Wifi in a Travel Bag, and You Should Too

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Pocket wifi is nothing new, and I considered it a luxury more than a necessity—a way to guarantee wifi in a time when wifi access is already practically guaranteed. Not only was I wrong, but I overlooked it for far too long. And if you don't own a portable wifi device other than your phone, you're probably making the same mistake I was. When I bought my first home, I gave my cell reception only a passing thought. Spectrum wireless was available in our area and was confirmed to work well by the previous homeowner, so home connectivity wouldn't be a problem. My phone carrier, T-Mobile, also covers 99% of the country. I imagined the network coverage maps in full magenta, suggesting I would need to be on Artemis II to lose...

World Autism Acceptance Month: Why autism is often missed in Indian women

In the global landscape of neurodiversity, a profound silence often surrounds the experiences of women and girls. While awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is growing, the data in India reveals a troubling disparity.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the global prevalence of autism is approximately 1 in 36 children. However, in India, the diagnostic gap remains stark. Research published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders indicates that for every four boys diagnosed with autism in India, only one girl is identified. Medical experts are now sounding a critical alarm: this 4:1 ratio is not a biological certainty—it is a diagnostic blind spot. While young boys may express their neurodivergence through outward disruption, young India...

Medical costs for treating liver ailments nearly 100 pct higher than 3 yrs ago

India is facing a growing but underrecognised liver health crisis. According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, NAFLD (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) affects between 9 per cent and 32 per cent of the population, impacting nearly one in three individuals, and is being recognised as a `silent epidemic`.  Liver-related medical conditions already contribute to over 66 per cent of total deaths, and rising treatment costs are making them an increasing financial burden.  While India has integrated NAFLD screening into its NP-NCD (National Programme for Prevention & Control of Non-Communicable Diseases) programme, this policy momentum must be complemented by stronger individual-level financial preparedness. On the occasion of World Liver Day, observed on April 19, Care Health ...
