A study of 1,320 elderly in Hyderabad's Addagutta states that nearly 50% suffer hypertension, one in four have diabetes, and half are overweight. Women face higher obesity rates (50.4%) due to menopause and cultural restrictions. Rice-heavy, protein-poor diets, low physical activity, insulin resistance, and rising multimorbidity drive major health crisis as India’s urban elderly population surges.
Dr Tarek Pacha, a Michigan-based urologist, shared what contributes to faster ageing in women. The first mistake, Dr Pacha pointed out, is the habit of not eating enough protein. "Low protein is the number one reason your metabolism feels slow and sluggish," he said. Other mistakes are fasting too long, like intermittent fasting, and skipping resistance training.
Dietitian Garima Dev Verman says that mayonnaise made with unsaturated oils may offer more than just taste. It can supply vitamin E and help absorb vitamins A, D, E and K-challenging its 'empty-calorie' image and highlighting that mindful choices can make even condiments nutritionally useful.
Dr Swati Dave explained that honey may have a lower glycaemic index than refined sugar, but it still delivers a high carbohydrate load. For people with diabetes, it must be counted carefully within the meal plan, using strict portion control and carb tracking to avoid spikes in blood glucose.

Uranium exposure may impair neurological development and reduce IQ, it added.
Dr Devyani Mukherjee, Reproductive Endocrinologist, says, “ One can have PCOS or PCOD without having irregular periods.
