Dr. Madhu Chopra adds, "I feel it's drooping a little bit," but she doesn't go crazy after giving herself a Botox injection on the right side of her face.

Dr. Madhu Chopra, Priyanka Chopra's mother and dermatologist, recently posted a photo of herself getting Botox on the right side of her face. "I feel like my face is drooping a little, so I'm going to get Botox. You can notice that I have a lowered mouth angle. Compared to my left, my right side is comparatively weaker. In an Instagram post, she stated, "I usually botox my right."Dr. Madhu remarked, "My eyebrows and eyelids have come down, and I do have lines," as she demonstrated a straightforward injection technique. Watch me, then. I just marked myself. I'll take care of it myself. Since I am aware of where I must provide, I will first remove the marks. "It's painless, harmless, and I am very careful about under-correcting the first time," she continued after the treatment. I don't go too far. I don't shoot a lot. Only from unit to unit. In four to five days, I shall see the outcomes. I will redo it if there are any corrections that need to be addressed. Going slow and low is preferable to swinging your eyes, moving your mouth, or making your face look synthetic.Let's get a better understanding of the process from a professional. Botox is a refined protein used in aesthetic dermatology to temporarily relax some facial muscles, according to Dr. Shweta Nakhawa, consultant dermatologist at KIMS Hospitals in Thane. It creates a smoother appearance by softening dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead lines by decreasing muscle activity. According to Dr. Nakhawa, the impact usually lasts a few months.  

According to recent studies, daily vitamin and mineral dosages help lessen severe irritation in teenagers.

One of the most prevalent and upsetting issues that teens and their families deal with is irritability. Its primary symptom is an overreaction to unpleasant emotional stimuli, which leads to intense irritability and outbursts of rage. Even though some people find success with current treatment choices like psychotherapy and medication, they might be difficult to access or poorly tolerated.Based on a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, our new study demonstrates that broad-spectrum micronutrients (minerals and vitamins) might considerably lessen extreme irritability in teenagers. Particularly significant changes were seen in those with extremely disruptive behavior. This provides a physiologically based, safe, and scalable substitute for traditional psychiatric therapies.Numerous psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety, depression, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other disruptive behavior disorders, are associated with irritability.Interventions that specifically address irritation, have fewer adverse effects, and are accessible to all populations are desperately needed. Young people's mental health statistics are particularly alarming. According to a Lancet panel, youth mental health has been deteriorating worldwide over the past 20 years and has now entered a "dangerous phase." Despite this, studies regularly show that there are few accessible and effective treatments for young people who are extremely irritable. This points to a serious unmet public health need.  

Lekin, I never believed in oiling before.Behind her shiny hair, Chitrangada Singh reveals a secret combination.

On the podcast Let's Talk for Namitaa, Chitrangada Singh recently talked about her hair care regimen and credited oiling for improving the quality of her hair. "I never used to believe in oiling, lekin bahut farak padta, oiling is very, very important," she said. The quality of your hair has improved since I started using rosemary, pepper mint, almond oil, and teen cheezon ko mix karke mujhe diya hai kisni.IndianExpress.com contacted Dr. Bhawuk Dhir, Consultant Dermatology, PSRI Hospital, to verify the actor's claim. He concurred that oiling has advantages, "but with realistic expectations."According to Dr. Dhir, "regular hair oiling can be scientifically effective, but its impact varies from person to person." He explains that oils don't directly promote the growth of new hair by activating biological growth pathways. The main functions of oils are as protecting and emollients. They protect the hair shaft from friction and environmental harm, prevent breakage, lessen dryness, and seal in moisture," he says. During oil application, a light scalp massage may also promote improved blood circulation. Dr. Dhir continues, "The evidence is stronger for improved texture and reduced damage rather than dramatic hair growth, even though this creates a healthier scalp environment."  

Why a hepatologist is cautioning against this well-liked athlete recuperation trend: "Unscientific, dangerous nonsense"

Some athletes and health enthusiasts still utilise cupping therapy, which has been around for centuries, to relieve pain and promote muscle repair. Discussions concerning whether these practices provide real health benefits or only give the appearance of treatment without any scientific support have been triggered by their resurgence in popularity on social media. Following a warning from Kerala-based hepatologist Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, popularly known online as "The Liver Doc," in an Instagram post, that discussion has heated up.He criticised cupping therapy, calling it "unscientific, dangerous nonsense" and encouraging people to think twice about what he called a "superstitious trend" being passed off as valid medical treatment. Images of wet cupping, which involves applying suction after making tiny incisions to extract what some consider to be "toxic" blood, were included in his post. "The skin is not a filter for toxins; that is the job of your liver and kidneys," Dr. Philips said, challenging the fundamental idea underlying the procedure. “Sucking out blood by cutting the skin is not detoxification; it is a recipe for infection, scarring, and, in some cases, extensive skin damage,” he continued.He also brought up issues of medical safety and hygiene, pointing out that using non-sterile equipment or providing inadequate aftercare could expose individuals to dangerous infections including HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. In addition to causing haematomas, irreversible scarring, and skin discolouration, he claims that the strong suction used in cupping can also drive patients to put off getting the right treatment for underlying diseases if they rely on it rather than going to the doctor.  

The emergence of chatfishing: Why your potential match on a dating app could actually be a bot

In the past, dating apps were criticized for pushing users to show off highly edited versions of themselves. The issue now is more complicated: it's possible that people aren't even composing their own messages anymore. Users are increasingly using artificial intelligence to assist them flirt, reply, and continue discussions on dating apps, according to Scientific American. Today, this tactic is known as "chatfishing." Chatfishing-supporting tools are become harder to identify and easy to obtain. According to Scientific American, users can use "wingman apps," paste messages into chatbots like ChatGPT, or engage with AI coaching tools integrated into dating apps. According to a 2025 Norton research, "six out of ten dating app users think they've come across at least one conversation written by AI." Additionally, studies reveal that people have trouble telling the difference between language produced by machines and by humans, which raises concerns about consent, emotional connection, and authenticity in online dating. Chatfishing indicates a deeper unease with text-based intimacy that goes beyond dates and matches. Although dating apps lessen the appeal of text-based interactions, where algorithms frequently do better than humans, humans have evolved to communicate through voice, facial emotions, and physical presence."When I look at chatfishing through a psychological lens, the key difference is intent," says Dr. Sakshi Mandhyan, a psychologist and the creator of Mandhyan Care, in an interview with IndianExpress.com. Creating a phony identity is the goal of traditional catfishing. The main goal of chatfishing is to conceal perceived inferiority. The emotional voice is outsourced, yet the person is real. "I see this often in people who struggle with low relational confidence or social anxiety," she adds. They worry about saying the wrong thing, coming across as uninteresting, or getting turned down too soon. It feels like emotional armor to use AI. This has a psychological connection to poor impression management and self-efficacy. Since they are not lying about who they are, people persuade themselves that it is harmless. They think that all they are doing is "editing" themselves.  

How does my workout change if I go to the gym right after eating a big dinner?

It can be alluring to complete dinner and go straight to the gym after a demanding day, particularly if you are pressed for time. One such fitness enthusiast went to Quora to find out if exercising right after a large meal is a healthy option. We contacted Dr. Parth Agrawal, Consultant Arthroscopy at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, for a reaction. He stated that the body finds it difficult to balance exercise and digestion at the same time. "A significant quantity of blood flow is sent into the stomach to aid in digestion when you eat a substantial meal. That blood is abruptly diverted to the functioning muscles if you start exercising right after, he says. This change may cause discomfort and slow down digestion. Bloating is one of the most prevalent problems people encounter. Stomach cramps, nausea, lightheadedness, and even acid reflux might result from a full stomach paired with vigorous activity. These symptoms can have a direct impact on your performance in addition to being unpleasant. Your body is preoccupied with managing intestinal stress rather than strength, endurance, or form.  

Dinner timings, protein obsession, and therapy talk: The lifestyle debates that defined 2025

By 2025, lifestyle choices had evolved from quiet, private choices to everyday arguments on social media and at family get-togethers. When is the best time to eat? Should you increase your protein intake or reduce your carbs? Is it better to pursue balance rather than ambition? Strong opinions, studies, counter-studies, and lived experiences that frequently opposed one another now accompanied what was once thought to be regular. People have questioned decades-old behaviors in the past year. As metabolic health became a common topic of discussion, dinner times shifted earlier. Advice on weight loss divided into opposing groups, each of which claimed to be more "sustainable" than the others. We also looked at the effects of high-protein diets on the body, and Dr. Samrat Shah, a consultant at Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, saw both advantages, like increased satiety, and disadvantages, such gastrointestinal distress when fiber and carbohydrates are drastically cut.Hustle vs. minimalism Another front in the year's lifestyle discussions was workplace culture and individual identity. We discussed the emergence of "career minimalism," which is a deliberate rejection of unrelenting hustle in favor of psychological well-being and limited ambition. "A lot of this shift is simply the world changing," said Gurleen Baruah, an organizational psychologist and existential analyst at That Culture Thing. Many young people witnessed how rapidly "stable" jobs vanished, how businesses laid off thousands of workers overnight, and how erratic the economy has become, particularly after the epidemic.  

When you chew a piece of ginger every day for sixty days, your body experiences this.

Strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties can be found in ginger. However, what would happen if a person chewed a piece of ginger every day for sixty days? When we asked Dr. Amreen Sheikh, chief nutritionist at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, about it, he replied that it increases circulation, relaxes the airways, and progressively lessens throat inflammation. Many patients report decreased bloating, improved digestion, and fewer coughs after six to eight weeks. Ginger can ease the inner lining of the airways and provide general lung comfort for people who are susceptible to seasonal respiratory symptoms, according to Sheikh.Yes, but with reasonable expectations, Sheikh argued. Unlike medication, ginger does not "open the lungs." Rather, it operates subtly. It can aid those who frequently experience irritation from pollutants, relieve moderate wheezing from cold weather, and clear congestion in the throat. Additionally, by loosening mucus, its warming impact facilitates its expulsion during an illness. Ginger can help with long-term lung conditions like COPD or asthma, but it should never take the place of prescription medication, Sheikh said.While using ginger on a daily basis is generally safe, Sheikh pointed out that excessive use can cause oral irritation, cause acidity in those who are sensitive, or slightly thin the blood. Before developing a habit, people who take blood thinners or have gastritis or acid reflux should speak with a doctor. A tiny portion is more than sufficient; moderation is crucial," Sheikh stated.

How to incorporate Kanso, a Japanese practice, into your life

Life may be quite noisy at times; with so many notifications, hectic schedules, and things stacking up all around us, it's simple to feel overburdened. This is where Kanso, a Japanese concept, comes into play. Kanso is fundamentally about simplicity. However, it's more important to make room for the things that really count than to just have less.Zen philosophy and traditional Japanese design are the origins of kanso. Wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection and transience, is based on this fundamental idea. In particular, Kanso emphasises reducing things to their most basic components. Just a serene, tidy, and well-considered design—no frills, clutter, or distractions. How to use Kanso in your daily life Kanso isn't just for your house. It's also a mindset. Consider it this way: Kanso encourages you to slow down and concentrate on just one thing—well, the correct thing—instead of juggling ten things at once and feeling overwhelmed. "Do you really need that extra task, object, or noise?" it asks. Natural light, wood textures, muted hues, and a few key pieces may all be found in a Kanso-inspired space. Nothing ostentatious, just deliberate. Making things feel serene is more important than making them appear "perfect." The objective is not to live without joy or beauty, but to get go of things that are superfluous.Using Kanso in your daily life could entail organising your workspace, reducing distractions, or even streamlining your time management. It doesn't have to be extreme. Making small decisions like choosing presence over pressure and clarity over clutter can have a significant impact. Kanso serves as a kind reminder that sometimes the most serene things are the most straightforward.  

Date them till you hate them is a toxic dating practice that is returning to TikTok.

Breakups are never easy, but a new viral dating trend is making the process sound even messier. The "date them till you hate them" strategy from TikTok has reappeared, and many users are debating and discussing it.The Cosmopolitan claims that TikToker Meg Neil, who revealed the "secret" of how she ended a four-year romance with little heartache, is the origin of the fad. "I dated him till I hated him," she stated in her 2023 video. This dating technique is now circulating extensively again, raising questions about how people negotiate disagreement, emotional disengagement, and the end of relationships. At its foundation, ‘date them till you hate them’ encourages individuals to gently disengage rather than addressing concerns directly or selecting a healthy conclusion. According to the explanation, it entails emotionally withdrawing while allowing resentment to build up so that the individual is emotionally detached by the time the relationship ends.Neil summarises the process: “You’re going to watch them disrespect you… until you no longer want to associate with them anymore.” While individuals may see shades of this pattern in their own lives, can internalising such behaviour have long-term ramifications, not just for the partnership, but for one’s emotional wellbeing and future attachment patterns?  

How to remedy the five typical foods that may prevent your body from absorbing vitamin D

Immune system performance, bone health, and general well-being all depend on getting adequate vitamin D. While sunshine exposure and supplements might assist, many everyday meals may actually interfere with your body’s absorption of this vital mineral. Understanding these relationships can make a substantial difference in maintaining optimal vitamin D levels. Even a diet high in vitamin D or appropriate supplementation may not be as beneficial if we eat foods that prevent the absorption of the nutrient. Many people are unaware that their intake of vitamin D isn't being properly utilized by their body because of factors like fat content, specific minerals, or compounds in certain meals that can lower its bioavailability.To find out which five frequent foods might hinder the absorption of vitamin D and the mechanism underlying their effects, we consulted with an expert.According to Ashlesha Joshi, a nutritionist and fitness dietitian at Tone 30 Pilates, "some foods can affect how efficiently the body absorbs or uses vitamin D," as reported by indianexpress.com. The most prominent of these are foods that include phytates, like whole grains and legumes, which can bind to minerals and vitamin D and hinder absorption. Caffeine from tea or coffee in excess can also cause problems by lowering the expression of vitamin D receptors in the intestines. Regular alcohol consumption damages liver function, which is necessary for the conversion of vitamin D into its active form. Trans fats and hydrogenated oils included in processed foods might hinder the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin D. Finally, because vitamin D is fat-soluble and needs dietary lipids for effective uptake, particularly high-fibre diets, while generally healthy, might occasionally limit absorption efficiency.According to Joshi, "since vitamin D is fat-soluble, combining it with good fats can greatly enhance absorption." For example, eating foods high in vitamin D, such as salmon, eggs, or fortified cereals, together with foods high in healthy fats, like avocado, olive oil, or almonds, can improve absorption. Consuming foods high in vitamin K2, such as fermented soy or cheese, also aids in calcium metabolism and complements vitamin D. She adds that timing is also important, saying that consuming vitamin D-fortified meals or pills after your main meal of the day, when fat intake is highest, helps maximize absorption. Regular exposure to the sun, even for a short while each day, naturally raises vitamin D levels even more.  

Try these pain-relieving at-home back exercises on World Spine Day.

Back pain is one of the most prevalent health issues in today's world, impacting professionals, homemakers, students, and even young children. The main causes of back discomfort include poor posture, extended sitting, and irregular activity. However, with the right workouts and proper posture, coupled with a few easy adjustments to our everyday routines, back discomfort can be greatly decreased. Maintaining normal alignment of the bones and joints, preventing weariness, and lessening the load on muscles and ligaments are all made possible by good posture. Conversely, bad posture can cause stiffness and muscle imbalances, which can ultimately lead to persistent back discomfort. Improving posture is important for maintaining spinal health for many years to come, according to Dr. Ranjith Unnikrishnan, Consultant-Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon, KIMSHEALTH Trivandrum. The health of your posture and spine are extremely important to your body. If left untreated, back discomfort can impair general quality of life, limit mobility, and lower productivity. Most people may avoid or lessen back pain without medicine if they are attentive, disciplined, and follow easy corrective measures, he said.  

Reversing prediabetes without losing weight: How dietary modifications, fat distribution, and glucose management reduce the risk of diabetes by 70%

More than one in three persons in the US have prediabetes, which is characterized by high blood sugar levels that are not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. About 70% of people with prediabetes may develop type 2 diabetes if their condition is not controlled, which raises their risk of consequences like kidney damage, neurological issues, and heart disease. Reversing prediabetes has typically involved losing weight with medication, diet, or exercise. Recent studies, however, suggest a paradigm shift: enhancing insulin sensitivity and glucose management might be more important than simply losing weight. Lifestyle changes that focus on food, exercise, and fat distribution can result in remission and significantly reduce the long-term risk of type 2 diabetes.According to a recent study by German researchers at University Hospital Tübingen that was published in Nature Medicine, prediabetes can be corrected without weight loss. After a year of lifestyle changes, participants who were able to achieve normal blood glucose regulation but did not lose a considerable amount of weight had a 70% lower chance of acquiring type 2 diabetes over the course of five years than those who were unable to achieve remission. Whole grains, fruits, non-starchy vegetables, and legumes are good sources of carbs, whereas meals high in healthy fats include fatty fish, seeds, nuts, and olive oil. Normalizing blood glucose levels also requires controlling stress and getting enough sleep.In the US, prediabetes, characterized by high blood sugar that is not yet diagnosed as diabetes, affects more than one in three persons. In addition to concerns like heart disease, renal issues, and nerve damage, type 2 diabetes eventually develops in about 70% of people with prediabetes if left untreated. Reversing prediabetes has typically involved losing weight with medication, diet, or exercise.A recent study that was published in Nature Medicine indicates that prediabetes can be corrected without weight loss, according to a Morning News Today story. After a year of lifestyle interventions, participants who did not lose weight but achieved normal blood glucose regulation had a 70% lower risk of type 2 diabetes over the next five years than those who did not achieve remission, according to research from the University Hospital Tübingen in Germany."A lifestyle intervention can bring prediabetes into remission, meaning back to normal glucose values, even without weight loss, and this remission cuts future type 2 diabetes risk by approximately 70% over up to 10 years," co-author Dr. Andreas Birkenfeld told Medical News Today.  

Which of the three magnificent cats would most likely prevail in a fight involving tigers, leopards, and lions?

Big cats, from the sprawling African savannahs to the center of deep Asian jungles, captivate our collective imagination, especially when they are included in fictitious fights. In a conflict between a tiger, a leopard, or a lion, who would win? Let's examine the information.When it comes to sheer muscle and mass, tigers have the advantage. The largest of the great cats, male tigers can weigh up to 600 pounds or more. Although they usually weigh a little less, lions' stocky bodies nevertheless contain a lot of strength. Further investigation reveals that adult male tigers weigh 400–670 pounds, while male lions weigh 331–550 pounds. These parameters are validated by first-hand reports from animal observers: Even the greatest African lions are frequently greatly outnumbered by Bengal and Siberian tigers.Instead of speculating about who would prevail in a battle, we would much rather people focus their mental energies on preserving these amazing kitties. But because it's a frequently asked question, let's get started. The quick answer is that it depends on a variety of characteristics, including temperament, age, and size. Nonetheless, tigers typically have the upper hand. Tigers have an advantage in warfare since they are not only typically larger but also better at fighting when standing on their hind legs. Although there is much disagreement over the efficacy of this, some think that a lion's mane may offer some neck protection. When tigers and lions faced up in the Roman Coliseum, according to ancient legend, the tigers typically prevailed. Fortunately, though, those savage days are long gone.The likelihood of a tiger and lion encountering in the wild is nearly nonexistent nowadays. Lions are primarily located in Africa, with a small population surviving in a small area of India, whereas tigers traverse Asia. A tight affinity between these two species was shown at Big Cat Rescue between Cameron, a male lion, and Zabu, a white tiger. They were saved from a breeding environment that aimed to create ligers, a hybrid that we most definitely do not support. Although their humorous exchanges may have seemed like a quarrel, rest assured that it was all in good humor. And just so you know, we like to assume Zabu would have had the advantage.  

Is it better to check blood sugar immediately after waking up or 1-2 hours after having breakfast?

Many of us have a lot of questions about what the best practices for good health are. We found a relevant question on Quora asking when the right time to check blood sugar is. “Is it better to check your blood sugar immediately after waking up or 1-2 hours post-breakfast?” Therefore, we opted to consult a diabetologist.For those with diabetes, keeping an eye on blood sugar (glucose) levels is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of the current treatment plan. It provides guidance on daily and sometimes even hourly management of your diabetes.When you have diabetes, especially if you're on insulin, it's crucial to monitor your blood sugar levels. Monitoring blood sugar levels can provide insights to guide your choices regarding diet, exercise, and insulin dosage. Your blood sugar can be influenced by a number of factors. With time and practice, you can learn to anticipate some of these impacts, while others are very challenging or impossible to foresee. This is why, if your healthcare provider suggests it, you should regularly monitor your blood sugar levels.As an example, the following scenarios usually elevate blood sugar levels: Taking in carbohydrates. Insufficient use of diabetes medication or insulin, or failing to take a dose. Regular absence of physical activity or receiving less exercise than normal. Using corticosteroid (steroid) medications. Health issues, operations, or strain. Dawn phenomenon (a morning spike in blood sugar levels that is probably caused by natural hormonal changes, including cortisol). Tobacco use. Flüssigkeitsmangel. Adolescence.Blood sugar levels usually drop in the following situations: Omitting meals. Excessive use of diabetes medication or insulin. Exercise. The situations listed below can increase or decrease your blood sugar, depending on your individual biology and other factors: Menstrual periods. Timing of food, medication, and insulin. Consuming drinks with alcohol. Medication interactions not related to diabetes.Because of all these differing variables, it’s crucial to keep an eye on your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes. This is the only method to determine with certainty when your blood sugar levels are fluctuating. And it aids in understanding how to modify your management approach for both you and your healthcare provider.  

Indications that your body contains too much sugar and solutions

Are restlessness, a sudden urge to urinate, and hormonal instability symptoms of elevated blood sugar? We spoke with specialists who provided detailed explanations in order to gain a deeper understanding of our bodies."Excess sugar may be the cause of energy spikes and crashes if you feel lethargic most of the day. Your body loses more fluids when your blood sugar is high, which results in persistent thirst. According to Dr. Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant in internal medicine at Gleneagles Hospital in Parel, Mumbai, people who consume excessive amounts of sugar frequently make more trips to the bathroom. The kidneys attempt to eliminate high blood sugar levels through urine.Additionally, sugar can alter the fluid balance in your eyes, leading to transient changes in vision. According to Dr. Agarwal, "too much sugar can damage blood vessels and slow down healing. "Dr. Vijay Negalur, HOD, Diabetic, KIMS Hospitals, Thane, reaffirmed that certain symptoms are real signs that your body is metabolizing more sugar than it should.Insatiable hunger is another sign. Soon after a meal, unexpected spikes and dips in blood sugar can cause you to feel hungry again. Unstable sugar levels can make it difficult to concentrate clearly, which is why some people also feel brain fog or difficulties concentrating. Dark spots, pigmentation, or skin tags, especially around the neck, can potentially be signs of elevated blood sugar levels, according to Dr. Negalur
