@pubtweet2 @theliverdoc IIT Baba

@theliverdoc Actually, replace Nobel with any of the tags that Indians love to glorify: IIT, IIM, IISc, UPSC, IAS, AIIMS, etc ... The moment someone with one of these tags says something - even if it is outrageously inaccurate or ridiculous, the idea is drummed up and gains blind followers.

Replace "Nobel" with "Padma Shri" , "Padma Bhushan" , "Padma Vibushan" etc. B M Hegde has lost his marbles and suffers from this.

@Fittrwithkj Obesity is a marker of khaatey peetay Ghar ka ladka 😀

Honestly baat toh sahi hai Keep yourself away from junk food Kids will follow suit Just that quantity matters One of my major obesity contributor in childhood was 100-150 grams of dry fruits daily IMAGINE !!!!!!

@KamathGurudutt Sir,fish oil for Omega 3 has other benefits.

Excellent share. Rosuvastatin outperformed garlic, turmeric, plant sterols and fish oil by a mile and some more! Those who are popping garlic pods, and turmeric pills, fish oil capsules are not doing anything for their lipid profile. Takeaways: 1. Stop taking pills on your own. They have zero benefits and may actually harm you. 2. If you are obese, have poor lipids, family history of Cardiac conditions, please consult a Cardiologist. Probably, he will start you on statins. 3. Statins have to be taken (usually) for a lifetime. But they will save you your life. 4. If you are worried about the cost of statins, worry more about the cost of a heart attack and putting in a stent!

@DrKristieLeong How much is too much in a day?

Raw vs. Roasted Pistachios: Does heat destroy the health benefits? 1️⃣ Raw wins slightly on total polyphenols (~7% higher) and sensitive flavonoids. 2️⃣ Roasted preserves the majority of antioxidant capacity and can even BOOST Vitamin E. 3️⃣ Stability: Lutein and zeaxanthin stay strong through the roasting process. The Takeaway: If you're a "polyphenol purist," go raw. If you prefer the flavor of roasted, the difference in total antioxidant activity is negligible. Eat the ones you enjoy!

@nadig_cardio @JACCJournals Dr.,cinnamon is advised for diabetics.How much is RDA?

Quoting an interesting 2023 study from @JACCJournals (Cleveland Clinic , SPORT trial) 🔬 Compared low-dose rosuvastatin (5 mg) vs: 🧄 garlic | 🌿 turmeric | 🌱 plant sterols | 🐟 fish oil | 🌰 cinnamon | 🍚 red yeast rice | placebo in individuals with intermediate ASCVD risk Key findings: •Rosuvastatin 5 mg → ~35% reduction in LDL-C •None of the supplements reduced LDL-C significantly vs placebo •Adverse events → similar across groups •⚠️ Cinnamon showed a trend toward increased hs-CRP (inflammatory marker) 💡 Take-home message: Even a “miniscule” statin dose outperforms popular supplements for LDL reduction.

@hyderabaddoctor Step 1 during medical emergency,accident or even a competitive exam.

Hikaru Nakamura spent 67 minutes on a single move. He still got it wrong. This is a wake-up call for doctors, investors, and high-stakes decision-makers: Does thinking longer actually improve accuracy? Most people believe the myth: “More time results in Better decisions.” Cognitive science says otherwise. The Expert Paradox True expertise is not about thinking longer, it is about thinking faster. As Daniel Kahneman detailed in Thinking, Fast and Slow, our brains operate on two frequencies: System 1: Fast, intuitive, and driven by decades of pattern recognition. System 2: Slow, analytical, and prone to fatigue. For a seasoned professional, System 1 is your superpower. It is not a "guess"; it is a high-speed data processing engine that has indexed thousands of previous cases, charts, and outcomes. The Clinical Reality In medicine, most correct diagnoses are made within the first few minutes of a consultation. When an expert overthinks, they are not discovering new truths; they are usually: 🔸Second-guessing a correct initial instinct. 🔸Falling victim to cognitive fatigue. 🔸Succumbing to "Analysis Paralysis." The Investor’s Trap In the markets, extra time often leads to "noise" absorption. You start seeing patterns that don't exist and over-weighting insignificant data points. Beyond a certain threshold, more thinking doesn't decrease risk, but it increases error. ✅ The "Sweet Spot" Strategy The goal is not to be impulsive, but to be efficiently intuitive. Step 1: Trust your System 1 (The initial pattern recognition). Step 2: Use a brief System 2 audit (The "Sanity Check"). Step 3: Act. If you are 60 minutes into a decision and still doubting your first 60 seconds, you are not analyzing, but you are spiraling. The Take-home message: In your field of expertise, if a decision takes too long, it is often already wrong. Train your intuition, trust your patterns and avoid "the 67-minute blunder". #Neuroscience #DecisionMaking #Investing #Medicine #Productivity Dr Sudhir Kumar @hyderabaddoctor

@manishsirg @UmdarTamker Exploitation applies to both males and females.

The whole industry is Facade. There is no Job of acting. Anybody who would go there influenced by the glamour of it would get exploited. There is no guarantee of work. First of all, there is no guarantee you will get work there. Second, there is no guarantee of continuos and regular work, you never know when you would be out of it and how long you will have to wait for your next project. And you never know how many and how much exploitation you will have to go through to first find and then to retain your place in the industry. Untill and unless you have good source, connection and money, never go there searching a career in the profession of acting.

Hit me with the darkest bollywood conspiracy theory you know !!

@nadig_cardio Appreciate the clarification,Dr.

@vvsn Yes Omega 3 mainly brings down TG and helps rise HDL to certain extent

Grateful for the support 🙏 Sharing heart health awareness (mostly in Kannada). Follow on IG: @sreevatsanadig

@drsunita02 The second:Don’t buy a new…. refers to divorce! It was a taboo then.

Don't repair, if it isn't broken. Don't buy a new one if the old is working perfectly fine. Our elders lived by these idioms. These idioms are true not only for appliances but for relationships too. #Relationships

@Amianshu2109 She acted in movies in South.

🚨 Indian television ne jin actress ko kabhi seriously nahi liya… aaj wahi OTT aur webseries ke through apna asli talent dikha rahi hain Don’t miss this series 🧵 Swipe karo 👇 1/20

@0_MaugaMaudi Everything Need not be written!

@vvsn Hmm. Never saw any Brahmin writing Sanskrit shloka about it. Do you know of any?

Going out to eat with colleagues is a headache. Nobody seems aware of उष्टं खरकटं left hand right hand jootha hand etc etc. No wonder Brahmins following all this were blamed of untouchability.

@manas_muduli It’s a mallet used in steel industry for striking hot surfaces. But he is posing like a player holding that. This shows his love for golf.

What is Naveen Jindal holding in his hand? 🤔 He visited JSPL’s Angul steel plant in Odisha, which has doubled its capacity to 12 MTPA and became one the largest single-location steel plants in India.

@0_MaugaMaudi Yes, they still find!

@yaajushi Hmm very subtle way of suggesting Brahmin superiority by implying basic Indian cutlery exclusively belong to and practiced by Brahmins. One question though, did vegetarian Brahmins found meat eating Brahmins as untouchable/repulsive!? I don't know if this exists among Brahmins.

@DrKristieLeong Curd

What’s one food your gut loves that surprises people?

@SHEKARSUSHEEL Rajesh Khanna started overacting and his mannerisms were repeated once he felt insecure because of AB’s rise.

Anand Bakshi in addition to being a prolific song writer was also a singer. He tried his hand with few songs. This duet with Asha bhosle from Maha chor is one of them. Music was by RD. Rajesh khanna and Neetu Singh were the lead pairs of the movie. Paired for the first Contd...

@DocPriyamMD @KamathGurudutt Better than matching kundli 😀

@vvsn @KamathGurudutt Interesting additions! While Lp(A) and pulmonary tests aren't standard 'pre-marital' screening, they are excellent for overall longevity and cardiovascular health

A young couple walked into my OPD today asking for 'pre-marital blood tests' Most people think it’s just about HIV, but there is so much more to it. Can anyone guess what else I wrote on that prescription?
