The Cancer Diet Myth: Why You Can’t Just Starve a Tumor Out

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthCancer nutrition myths 2026

You can't cure cancer by skipping dessert. It sounds blunt, but that is the reality medical experts are fighting against in 2026. Ms. Veena V from Aster Whitefield Hospital is seeing a dangerous trend: patients trying to “starve” their cancer by cutting out every carb and sugar. It’s a bad move. While it’s true that cancer cells use glucose, so does every vital organ you have. If you starve the body, you aren't just hitting the cancer; you are hitting your own recovery. You're making yourself too weak to even finish the chemo. It's a metabolic dead end that many…

Five Daily Habits That Actually Stop Cancer

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthOncologist cancer prevention tips 2026

Most people think cancer is just bad luck or a genetic death sentence. They’re wrong. According to a heavy-hitting report from February 4, 2026, the people who treat cancer—the oncologists—actually believe up to 40% of cases are avoidable. It isn't about expensive therapy. It’s about boring, daily discipline. First, they are ruthless about cutting out ultra-processed junk. We’re talking about the hidden inflammatories in packaged snacks and sausages that basically act as fuel for tumor growth. If a doctor won't eat it, you shouldn't either. It’s about keeping your internal environment hostile to mutations. Then there’s the “sitting” problem. Doctors…

The 196-to-Zero Reality: Why the West Bengal Nipah Scare is over

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthBarasat hospital Nipah update Feb 4, Nipah virus West Bengal 2026 data

The panic over Nipah in West Bengal is officially hitting a wall of hard data. It started back in late December 2025 at a private hospital in Barasat. Two nurses, a woman and a man, both 25, began showing these bizarre, heavy neurological symptoms after a routine shift. By early January, they were in isolation, but the real news didn't break until the National Institute of Virology in Pune sent back a positive RT-PCR on January 13. And honestly? That’s where the “outbreak” ended. Since then, the numbers have been flat. People keep sharing these viral headlines, but look at…

Forget the “80/20” Rule, Genetics Actually Controls Over 50% of Your

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthGenetics and human lifespan study 2026, Weizmann Institute longevity research

For years, the health world has been obsessed with the idea that we can “lifestyle”our way into living forever. We were told that genes only accounted for a tiny 20% of our longevity. However, a groundbreaking study published in the journal Science (February 2026) has just proven that we were essentially looking at the data upside down. Researchers from the Weizmann Institute and Karolinska Institutet have revealed that genetics actually dictate more than 50% of your lifespan. The reason scientists got it wrong for so long is actually quite simple: “noise.” Earlier studies didn't separate natural biological aging from “extrinsic”…

Precision on a Budget: How Bengaluru is Building the Future of Global Healthcare

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthAI-powered medical imaging India, Wipro GE SIGNA Prime Elite MRI 2026

For years, getting an MRI meant high costs and long waits, mostly because the machines were expensive imports. But the SIGNA Prime Elite changes that script. Since it’s manufactured locally under the PLI (Production Linked Incentive) scheme, it avoids massive import duties. This makes top-tier diagnostic technology affordable for hospitals in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, not just the big metros. The real secret weapon is the AI brain inside. Using deep-learning technology called AIR Recon DL, the machine reduces “table time” (the time you spend inside the tube) by 37%. For a busy clinic, this means scanning more patients every…

Phones, Junk Food, and Debt: The New ‘Three Villains’ of Indian Healthcare

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthEconomic Survey 2026 health highlights, Public health spending GDP India 2026

The 2026 Economic Survey just dropped, and honestly? It’s a bit of a mixed bag. While the government is busy taking victory laps over falling death rates, the fine print shows a system that’s still struggling to pay its own bills. We’re finally winning some old fights, but we’re losing new ones to the glowing screens in our pockets and the ultra-processed snacks in our kitchens. Who is actually paying the bill? Here’s the weird part: the Central government is actually spending less of the GDP on health now than it did during the pandemic. We went from 0.37% down…

Hidden Heart Disease? This AI Just Found it in 300 Seconds

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealthAI ECG heart detection, HCM silent killer

Let's talk about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It’s a mouthful, I know. Basically, it’s when your heart muscle gets too thick for no reason. It’s a silent killer. Most people who have it—about 85% of them—have no clue until they’re in the ER. Or worse. But a new study just changed the game. Doctors usually use an ECG to check your heart. It’s fast and cheap. But Human eyes just aren't that good at seeing the tiny electrical glitches that signal HCM. Doctors miss it all the time. In this new study, researchers used AI to scan those same boring ECGs.…

New Study Finds Just 5 Minutes of Extra Effort Can Save Your Heart

Saheli Majumder Ambwani0 CommentsHealth

Most people think exercise requires an hour at the gym. They are wrong. We treat the gym like a second job we’re constantly trying to quit. But here’s the thing: you don't actually need the hour-long sweat session. A massive 2024 study from UCL and the University of Sydney just proved that adding a mere five minutes of extra daily movement—the kind that makes you huff a little—is enough to start dropping your blood pressure. The study tracked thousands of people. It found that “incidental” exercise is key. This means activities you do anyway. Running for a bus counts. Carrying…

With their feet dangling, and amusing themselves–until I stopped them–by throwing stones at the giant mass. After I had spoken to them about it, they began playing at “touch” in and out of the group of bystanders. Among these were a couple of cyclists, a jobbing gardener I employed sometimes, a girl carrying a baby, Gregg the butcher and his little boy, and two or three loafers and golf caddies who were accustomed to hang about the railway station. There was very little talking. Few of the common people in England had anything but the vaguest astronomical ideas in those…

Fun, as you might imagine, was not how I would describe this adventure. Awesome? Yes. Fun? No. N.O. No way. But would I do it again? If I could rewind to that moment when the alarm went off at 4:30 a.m. to throw on clothes, grab our packs and trek up that mountain, would I? You bet your buttons I would. Here’s lives at the intersection of fun and scary. One of my companions summed the whole experience up perfectly. He leaned back in his chair at dinner that night, shrimp taco in hand, “These are the kinds of experiences…
