An Australian study in human reproduction found women with recurrent miscarriage show distinct abnormalities in NAD-related metabolites, suggesting deeper disruptions in vitamin B3 metabolism. The findings may help identify biomarkers for miscarriage risk. A new government-funded project will further investigate NAD pathways to develop future diagnostic and preventive strategies.
Exercise creates micro-level muscle stress, prompting body to release amino acids, molecules that form proteins, to repair and strengthen tissue, which makes muscles denser and also boosts resting calorie burn, Dr Mickey Mehta said. However, when protein intake increases without exercise, excess amino acids convert to glucose, and unused glucose is eventually stored as fat, leading to weight gain.

Indoor smoke from mosquito coils, incense, and poorly ventilated kitchens is causing rising lung problems among non-smokers, warns Dr Nalini Nagalla. Women are most affected due to prolonged indoor exposure. Hidden pollutants can lead to damage similar to that of COPD. Dr Nagalla urges better ventilation, safer alternatives, and early awareness to protect lung health.
Box breathing is a controlled breathing technique wherein a person inhales for four seconds, holds breath for four, exhales for four, and holds again for four, forming a box pattern.

Diets high in sugar decrease body's ability to absorb and utilise protein, leading to weaker hair strands and slower growth.
"Skinny-fat" refers to individuals with normal BMI but disproportionate fat-to-muscle ratio; this body composition, studied under terms like MONW or TOFI, links to insulin resistance, elevated cardiovascular risk and metabolic disturbance. According to Anurupa Bose, nutritionist, improving lean mass through strength training and protein-rich diet helps mitigate these risks.
