Summer strain: What is wet-bulb heat? AI responds as doctor lists precautions
With temperatures across the country soaring, a dangerous phenonmenon is being noticed. The body is unable to dissipate sweat properly leading to life-threatening consequences. A major source of concern now is wet-bulb heat. So what is wet-bulb heat? We asked AI and here is what it said: "Wet-bulb heat is basically the kind of heat your body cannot easily escape from. Normally, when it’s hot, your body cools itself by sweating. The sweat evaporates and takes heat away from your skin. But when the air is already very humid, sweat stops evaporating properly. So even if you are sweating a lot, your body keeps heating up."

World Thyroid Day 2026: What Is Causing Thyroid Disorders In Indian Gen Z And Millennial Women?
An increasing number of women in their late 20s and 30s, especially in urban India, are being diagnosed with thyroid-related disorders that are affecting fertility, menstrual health and mental well-being. For example, thyroid function problems were detected in 51.4% of teens and 44.5% of women in a cross-sectional Indian study published in 2025. The growing prevalence is being driven not only by better awareness and diagnosis, but also by rising stress levels, poor sleep, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy diets and increasing obesity in women belonging to Generation Z.

Why some young adults need 3 or more BP medicines: Doctor explains the hidden condition many don’t know they have
High blood pressure is often seen as a problem linked with old age. But cardiologists across India are now seeing a worrying trend: people in their 20s and 30s needing two, three, or even four medicines just to keep their blood pressure under control.
What makes the situation more concerning is that many of these young adults do not fit the traditional image of someone with heart disease. Some are working professionals, some exercise occasionally, and many discover the problem only after repeated headaches, fatigue, or a routine health check-up.
Doctors say the answer may not always lie in the heart alone. In several cases, the real problem starts during sleep.
According to Dr M Sudhakar Rao, obesity and obstructive sleep apnea are emerging as major hidden reasons behind resistant hypertension in younger adults. And unless the root cause is identified, blood pressure medicines alone may not fully solve the issue.
A growing body of evidence supports this concern. The Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine explains that untreated sleep apnea can increase the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and metabolic disorders.
