Dr. M Sudhakar Rao on Climbing stairs, gardening or walking the dog? How these short, brisk activities can improve your heart health
As a cardiologist, I often find it difficult to get my 40-minute walk or my 10,000 steps at a single stretch. So I do exercise snacking, splitting my routine into 10 minutes in the morning and then 20 minutes in the evening. In between, I often do shorter, vigorous activities like climbing the stairs to my department instead of taking the lift. And now research shows that these short-burst activities done several times a day are as good as 10,000 steps in protecting your heart.

Dr. Deepa Krishnamurthy on Are hair transplants safe? It depends on whom you consult
The cosmetic industry has come a long way, from women getting rid of their wrinkles to men covering their bald spots and restoring their hairlines. This has led to the mushrooming of hair transplant clinics, even in tier II and tier III cities. Wooed by social media marketing, many individuals are falling prey to botched hair transplants, taking a toll on their overall health. Globally, too, the hair transplant market has been rapidly expanding with a valuation of USD 8.1 billion in 2019, which is expected to reach USD 40.1 billion by 2026.

Dr. Suhas H S on Power naps at work? Science says yes. Now convince your boss
It’s 3 pm, you’ve just finished lunch and walked back to your desk to resume work on a sultry afternoon. However, within a few minutes, you start to feel the need for a quick nap. Your eyes are almost closing, and it’s slowly getting more difficult for you to continue the drill. The only thing that can save you is a nap, a power nap. But alas, your office doesn’t have a provision for the same, because only lazy people feel the need for it (that's the notion). But is that true?

Dr. Ajay Hegde and Dr. Sabina Rao on Know all about deep brain stimulation, a new hope for OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a relatively common illness where an individual tends to focus on a specific worry to a point that they cannot get rid of it; the worry tends to be intrusive in nature. OCD affects approximately 1 in 100 adults and can severely impact one's quality of life. Those who struggle with OCD often feel trapped by persistent thoughts and repetitive behaviours. These persistent worries can lead individuals to imagine potential negative outcomes for their loved ones. This may result in specific behaviours driven by the fear that something bad might occur... which could seem unusual to an observer.

Dr Shivakumar R on New study flips the script: Marriage may raise dementia risk
In a society where marriage is often seen as a pillar of stability, emotional fulfilment, and even physical health, a new study has cast doubt on whether that stability translates to better cognitive outcomes in old age. Conducted by Selin Karakose and colleagues at Florida State University, the research followed over 24,000 Americans, with an average age of 72, for up to 18 years. Surprisingly, it revealed that those who had never married had a 40% lower risk of developing dementia compared to their married counterparts. Widowed and divorced individuals also showed lower risks, 27% and 34%, respectively.

Dr. Suhas H S on Are you breathing correctly?
Optimal breathing is slow, deep, and diaphragmatic, meaning the diaphragm, rather than the chest, does most of the work. A healthy breathing pattern involves inhaling through the nose, allowing the belly to expand, and exhaling fully without strain.
Inhale… Exhale… Inhale… Exhale… Sounds simple, right? But breathing isn’t just an automatic reflex—it’s a complex process involving multiple muscles and organs working in perfect harmony to keep you alive

FW: Manipal Hospital Sarjapur: Dr. Deepa Krishnamurthy on Why azelaic acid should be in your skincare arsenal
Did you know that barley, wheat, and rye contain a naturally occurring acid that could do wonders for your skin? Azelaic acid, found in these grains and produced by Malassezia furfur (a yeast naturally present on healthy skin), can treat acne and fade dark spots — making it a potential skincare solution you have been looking for.
With its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, azelaic acid works in multiple ways. It prevents comedone formation or clogged hair follicles that mark acne's initial stage. “The advantage of azelaic acid over other acne treatments is that it has an additional depigmenting action,” says Dr Deepa Krishnamurthy, consultant – dermatologist, Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road, Bengaluru.
