Data from India’s ageing study suggests one-fifth of those aged 45 and above had diabetes in 2019

Published on: Aug. 9, 2025, 6:30 p.m. | Source: The Indian Express

A 2019 study published in The Lancet Global Health revealed that approximately one-fifth of Indians aged 45 and above, totaling 50.4 million people, were living with diabetes. The research, based on the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI), found that prevalence was similar between men and women but twice as high in urban areas compared to rural ones. The study also highlighted a significant lack of awareness, with two out of every five individuals with diabetes potentially unaware of their condition. While 46% of those aware were able to control their blood sugar and 60% their blood pressure, only 6% were taking lipid-lowering medication. The authors project that due to India's aging population, the number of middle-aged and older adults with diabetes will continue to rise, even if age-specific prevalence rates are stabilized.

White, black, green or blue: What the colours of packaged drinking water bottle caps indicate

Published on: Aug. 8, 2025, 7:30 p.m. | Source: The Indian Express

According to Dr. Aniket Mule, a consultant in internal medicine at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, the color of a packaged water bottle's cap often indicates the type of water it contains, although this is not a universal rule and lacks regulatory standards. He explains that black caps usually signify alkaline water, blue caps often denote spring water, and white caps typically represent filtered or processed water. Green caps are commonly used for flavored water, red caps for electrolyte-enhanced water, yellow for vitamin-enriched water, and clear caps may signify natural spring or distilled water. Dr. Mule emphasizes that for most healthy individuals, regular packaged or spring water is sufficient for daily hydration, and while specialty waters can be beneficial for those with specific needs like athletes, claims of major health benefits from alkaline or vitamin-enriched water are not strongly supported by scientific evidence. He advises consumers to always prioritize checking the bottle's label for certifications, expiry dates, and storage conditions rather than relying solely on the cap color.

What happens to the body when you have raw garlic on an empty stomach?

Published on: Aug. 8, 2025, 10:30 a.m. | Source: The Indian Express

Actress Soha Ali Khan has incorporated raw garlic into her morning routine for the past four weeks, claiming it's a "powerhouse for immunity, gut health, inflammation, and overall balance." She chews one raw clove on an empty stomach to activate allicin, then swallows it with water, advising crushing it and letting it rest for ten minutes if chewing is too pungent. Consultant dietitian Garima Goyal confirms that allicin, activated upon crushing, offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Potential benefits of regular raw garlic consumption over four weeks include improved immunity, better gut health (acting as a prebiotic), slight reductions in blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, natural detoxification support for the liver, and potential blood sugar regulation. However, Goyal stresses it's not for everyone: individuals with acid reflux, gastritis, IBS, those on blood thinners, or pregnant/lactating women should exercise caution or consult a doctor. For safe consumption, she recommends starting with half a crushed clove, allowing allicin to activate, and avoiding milk or tea immediately after. Goyal emphasizes that garlic is a food, not a medicine, and its benefits are realized through consistency as part of a balanced diet, not as a quick fix or replacement for medical treatment, especially for lifestyle diseases.
