Ms.Pavithra N Raj on Why Ajwain Seeds Reduce LDL Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and help in Weight Loss: A teaspoon in Warm Water is all you need | The Indian Express | Manipal Hospitals Yeshwanthpur
In an article for The Indian Express, Dr. Pavithra N Raj, the chief dietician at Manipal Hospitals, explained how the age-old customs of consuming Ajwain or carrom seeds can benefit everyone.
According to her, ajwain seeds contain thymol, a natural calcium chain blocker. Thymol helps prevent calcium from entering the cells of the heart, which relaxes and expands blood vessels, resulting in lower blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Additionally, the high fibre content of ajwain seeds can help neutralise cholesterol build-up in the body. She also mentioned that ajwain seeds could aid in weight loss by boosting metabolism and aiding in digestion, and recommended consuming a teaspoon of ajwain seeds in warm water regularly for maximum benefits.

Enhance Your Memory: The Positive Effects of Music on Your Brain Function
Music therapy has been used for therapeutic purposes since ancient times, and it is now recognised as a powerful tool for enhancing cognitive abilities in people with neurological problems. It can significantly impact cognitive functions such as memory, attention, language, sensory perception, and motor function. Regular exercise has been demonstrated to enhance cognitive abilities by boosting blood flow to the brain and encouraging the development of new brain cells. A nutritious diet full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains might enhance cognitive abilities by giving the brain the nutrition it needs. Adequate sleep is essential for cognitive function by encouraging brain plasticity - the brain's capacity for adaptation and change. By adopting these lifestyle modifications together with music therapy, individuals dealing with cognitive impairments can significantly improve their cognitive abilities.

Dr. Guruprasad H on World Parkinson's Disease Day: Role of Genetics and Environment in Parkinson's Disease | News 18 | Delly Ranks | Bharat Times | Manipal Hospitals Yeshwanthpur
World Parkinson's Disease Day: Role of Genetics and Environment in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, with age being the most significant risk factor. While genetics play a role in Parkinson's disease, environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins like pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals like lead and mercury, head injuries, viral infections, and inflammation, may also cause it. Specific genetic mutations have been identified in rare cases of Parkinson's disease, but the sporadic type without family history results from a convoluted relation of genetic and environmental factors. According to Dr Guruprasad H, Senior Consultant Neurologist, Manipal Hospital, the onset of Parkinson's disease is mostly in the younger age group for familial PD, where substantial causative genetic mutations have been identified. The loss of dopaminergic cells in the midbrain with the growth of Lewy body inclusions in brainstem cells is the hallmark of Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. Mutation of genes leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, accumulation of misfolded proteins, slowness, immobility, tremors and programmed cell death of affected neurons and non-motor symptoms, such as depression, constipation, sleep issues and more.

Understanding The Health Risks Associated With Unkempt Mattress
According to Dr Kiran Chouka, Consultant, Orthopedic Joint Replacement and Arthroscopic Surgeon, Manipal Hospital, an unkempt mattress can pose serious health risks, from triggering allergies and symptoms of asthma to exacerbating respiratory issues. Over time, mattresses can accumulate dust, dead skin cells, dust mites, bacteria, and fungi can cause respiratory problems, allergies, skin irritation and other serious health complications. Also, an unkempt mattress can harbour bed bugs, which can cause uncomfortable bites and transmit diseases. A poor mattress is a major reason for chronic low back pain. Orthopaedic mattresses are firm enough to support the back in good posture and prevent long-term health complications. To reduce the health risks associated with an unkempt mattress, it is necessary to clean and maintain it regularly, invest in an anti-bacterial, anti-dust mite and anti-allergenic properties mattress and replace it every 7–10 years.

Treatment includes induction therapy with 2-3 drugs and maintenance therapy interspersed with BMT for patients. The signs of end-stage myeloma are severe fatigue, bony pains, renal failure, immobility of the legs and infections. The comprehensive therapy for end-stage myeloma involves the primary treatment of multiple myeloma with multiple drugs simultaneously to destroy the cancerous plasma cells. If detected and treated early, multiple myeloma can be defeated.

Pavithra N Raj on Diabetes And Coffee: Should Diabetics Completely Avoid Coffee? Experts Answer | NDTV | Manipal Hospitals Yeshwantpur
Diabetes And Coffee: Should Diabetics Completely Avoid Coffee?
Coffee is a popular beverage consumed by many people every day. However, for those with diabetes, it can be challenging to know if coffee is safe to drink. According to Pavithra N Raj, the chief dietician at Manipal Hospital, Coffee, as an inhibitory agent, may reduce your insulin sensitivity. It inhibits the adenosine protein. Adenosine has a significant impact on how much insulin the body produces. It can prevent heart disease, stroke, and cancer. However, caffeine may increase blood sugar levels, so people with diabetes should limit their intake to one or two cups a day without adding sugar. It is recommended that patients with type-2 diabetes can replace coffee with other healthy drinks, including buttermilk, lime juice without sugar, clear soups, vegetable juice like cucumber mint, and green smoothies.

Everything You Need To Know About Multiple Myeloma
Manipal Hospitals' doctors have emphasised the signs of multiple myeloma. Myeloma is a kind of malignancy that affects plasma cells, which includes anaemia, bone discomfort, and decreased renal function. The doctors also used the occasion to debunk widespread misconceptions about the illness and iterated that a cancer diagnosis does not always spell death. Patients with multiple myeloma must undergo routine follow-up treatment since it is a malignancy that develops slowly and can be identified in one to three days. Many young individuals require bone marrow transplantation as part of their treatment. Nonetheless, multiple myeloma cannot be avoided by changing one's lifestyle.
