Just last week, actor Sonam Kapoor shared with her fans her struggle with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). She revealed that she has been suffering from this syndrome from the age of 14. In her latest Instagram post, Sonam penned what she eats in a day and the choices she makes to curb PCOS. The actor thanked her fans for the overwhelming response to her previous PCOS video.

Could the Fasting Mimicking Diet help some breast cancer patients?
Fasting is a trend that is gaining popularity due to its potential benefits in some common chronic conditions.
Among the different types of fasting, intermittent fasting is one of the most popular. This fasting alternates intervals of extreme calorie reduction with periods of normal eating. A different kind of fasting is the Fasting Mimicking Diet, or FMD, as the experts at Ackerman Cancer Center said.
FMD is followed for five days at a time, and it is low in calories, sugars, and protein, but high in unsaturated fats. FMD has shown to decrease risk factors/biomarkers for aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer without significant adverse effects of complete fasting, according to the cancer center.
One in eight women in America will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, the numbers from the American Cancer Society show. And just last month, Nature Communications published research from a randomized phase 2 trial that

Is soap made with BACTERIA the secret to healthy skin?
We should be buying body washes and moisturisers that nurture the billions of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on our skin to keep it healthy — if big skincare brands are to be believed.
Like the gut microbiome, the trillions of ‘friendly’ bacteria that inhabit our gut where they keep ‘bad bacteria’ at bay, the skin microbiome is increasingly believed to be important for health, with imbalances linked to skin conditions, including rosacea, acne and eczema.
Harsh cleansers, body washes and scrubs are being blamed for disrupting the balance of our skin microbiome and, just as ‘probiotic’ yoghurts are marketed as a way to up the ‘good’ bacteria in the gut, it is now possible to buy toiletries designed to nurture and boost the ‘friendly’ bacteria on our skin.

Give Your Skin Some Love

… Read More Overindulging in
The pandemic has forced people to stay indoors, while some are utilising the extra time to brush up on their culinary skills and taking online courses, others have turned conscious about skincare routines and beauty regimens. This has led to a rise in skin-related problems. “We have seen an increase in the number of people coming in with problems such as acne, rashes, eczema, and dry and irritated skin. Overindulgence is one of the main reasons for this,” says
Dr Rinky Kapoor, cosmetic dermatologist and dermato-surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics. “Many go overboard with skincare, and end up disturbing the skin’s natural balance.”
The main culprits are too much cleansing, over-exfoliating and frequent use of face masks. Even home remedies are to blame. Scrubs and packs made with coarsely ground pulses have

Skin Cancer Prevention: How to Reduce Your Risk
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, with basal cell carcinoma being the most common subtype. (4,6) The main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. There are also a handful of rare skin cancers including Merkel cell carcinoma, which is very aggressive. (6)
Basal cell carcinoma BCC is defined as abnormal, uncontrolled growths that arise from the skin’s basal cells in the epidermis — the outermost layer of skin. Most cases are caused by a combination of intermittent intense exposure and cumulative, long-term exposure to UV rays. (6)
Therapies currently used to treat basal cell are very effective, with an 85 to 95 percent recurrence-free cure rate, meaning the area of skin treated is effectively cured after the first round of treatment. (7)
