@HealthyFellow @ChefIrma @shashiiyengar Shall try it too

@ChefIrma @gmohan64 @shashiiyengar I find that adding a pinch of sea salt and instant coffee nicely rounds out the flavor.

Cocoa Butter or Cacao Butter. The Real Chocolate Fat. Cocoa butter is the natural fat extracted from cocoa beans. It’s what gives chocolate its smooth texture, aroma, and melt-in-the-mouth feel. You can: Make clean, homemade chocolate Add a small piece to coffee for a rich chocolate flavor Fat Profile of Cocoa Butter (Approx): 1) Saturated Fat (SFA): ~60%- Mainly stearic acid & Palmitic acid 2) Monounsaturated Fat (MUFA): ~35%Mostly oleic acid (same as olive oil) 3) Polyunsaturated Fat (PUFA): ~3–5%Very low → highly stable fat Low PUFA → less prone to oxidation Stable at high temperatures Cocoa butter is: 1) A stable fat 2) Low in inflammatory PUFA 3) Rich in flavor Ideal for low-carb / keto foods Use It Smartly: 1) Add to coffee for a “choco-butter” effect 2) Use in homemade sugar-free chocolates 3) Combine with cocoa powder + sweetener for clean desserts Were you aware of this earlier? I use cocoa (cacao) butter to make chocolates at home and sometime add a bit to my coffee.

@drmohanv Bcoz it helps lower liver glucose, you say having a high cortisol or good?

Stress raises sugar because it increases?

@mindmusclepro Is your stmnt above correct? : "If you have high Lp(a) it is important for you to maintain good metabolic health to add further risk."

Know your Blood Marker – Lipoprotein(a) Lp(a) 🔵 Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a type of fat-carrying particle in your blood. It’s similar to LDL, but it has an extra special protein called apolipoprotein(a) attached to it. 🔵 Lp(a) is largely genetically determined. 🔵 Diet & lifestyle have only a small effect on Lp(a) levels. 🔵 Elevated Lp(a) is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including coronary artery disease, heart attack & stroke. 🔵 Lp(a) contributes to atherosclerosis by: - Promoting cholesterol deposition in arterial walls - Increasing inflammation - Impairing the breakdown of blood clots 🔵 Lp(a) levels are generally stable throughout life after childhood. ▶️ Lp(a) < 15 mg/dL – Low risk ▶️ Lp(a) 14–30 mg/dL – Mildly elevated ▶️ Lp(a) 30–50 mg/dL – Moderate risk ▶️ Lp(a) > 50 mg/dL – High risk 🔵 People with high Lp(a) can have increased heart disease risk even if their LDL-C & other lipids are normal. 🔵 Lp(a) levels are not significantly altered by diet, exercise, or most medications. 🔵 If you have high Lp(a) it is important for you to maintain good metabolic health to add further risk. 💉 Test Preparation: - No special preparation required - No fasting required 🗓️ Frequency of Testing: - Lp(a) is a lifelong marker, so it usually needs to be tested once in adulthood

@shashiiyengar Sir also alarming are the prevalence of various autoimmune conditions at least one person per family ( most people don't even recognise the presence of AI until it troubles.). Health care systems don't estimate the prevalence. They cost high for treatment provided its diagsd

A recent article in The South First highlights a worrying trend - South India may be “eating itself to death.” Data shows that states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh are spending up to one-third of their food budget on fast food and ultra-processed items. Food is culture. Food is identity. But today… food is becoming disease. South India is now spending heavily on fast food and processed foods - and paying the price with: Diabetes Obesity Fatty liver Metabolic syndrome Higher fast-food consumption → higher diabetes prevalence Urban Indians already spend ~26% of their food budget on fast food Younger populations are developing Type 2 diabetes much earlier than before This is not just about food - it’s about a lifestyle shift: Less home-cooked meals More ultra-processed foods Sedentary work culture Longer working hours India is rapidly moving from traditional diets to energy-dense, nutrient-poor eating patterns - and the metabolic cost is now clearly visible. It is the collapse of metabolic health. thesouthfirst.com/health/how-is-…

@tweetKishorec Sir is there any such analysis for Chennai available

Owning a home in Coimbatore is becoming increasingly difficult for the middle class & Lower Middle Class ! Here is the micro-market data clearly shows the pressure building. 📍 Coimbatore Real Estate Snapshot (2022 → 2026) 🔺 Land Price Surge (select micro-markets): • Saravanampatti: ₹3,500–₹4,500/sq.ft → ₹6,000–₹8,000/sq.ft (IT corridor growth) • Kalapatti: ₹2,500–₹3,500 → ₹5,000–₹6,500 (airport & industrial belt influence) • Vilankurichi: ₹2,800–₹3,800 → ₹5,500–₹7,000 (proximity to IT parks) • Kovaipudur: ₹2,000–₹3,000 → ₹4,000–₹5,500 (residential demand surge) • Perur / Sundakkamuthur: ₹1,800–₹2,500 → ₹3,500–₹5,000 (rapid suburban expansion) ➡️ In many areas, land prices have nearly doubled in just 3–4 years. ➡️ In many areas, land prices have nearly doubled in just 3–4 years. 🏢 Apartment Market Reality: • 2BHK flats now start from ₹70–₹95 lakhs in prime & mid zones • Saravanampatti / Kalapatti belt: ₹6,000–₹8,500 per sq.ft • Avinashi Road & city core: ₹8,000–₹12,000 per sq.ft • Average usable space shrinking to ~600–800 sq.ft 💰 Cost of Building a House: • Land (1200 sq.ft plot in outskirts): ₹50–80 lakhs • Construction cost: ₹2,200–₹3,000 per sq.ft • Total cost: Easily ₹1–1.4 crore for a modest independent home 📉 Affordability Gap: • Salary growth: ~5–8% annually • Property price growth: ~12–20% in key zones • Result: Home ownership moving out of reach ⚠️ Ground Reality: • Outskirts are no longer “affordable” • Apartments are shrinking in size • Independent homes are becoming a luxury • Middle class is being pushed further away from the city This is not just growth — this is an affordability crisis in the making. ⚠️ Bigger Concern: • Home ownership age is increasing • Middle class is being pushed to city fringes • Rental dependency is rising • Wealth inequality is widening between landowners and non-owners This is no longer just a real estate trend — it’s a structural affordability crisis. 🏛️ What Coimbatore needs now: • Planned expansion with infrastructure in western & southern belts • Regulation of speculative land pricing • Incentives for genuinely affordable housing • Better public transport to reduce city-center pressure Coimbatore is growing fast — but without balance, the middle class risks being left behind. A home should not become a lifetime struggle. A home is not a luxury — it is a basic need. The system must reflect that. #Coimbatore #Middleclass #Housing

@NalinisKitchen @AshwiniVaishnaw Highest education doesn't imply a good manager. Probably Laloo Prasad Yadav handled it more efficiently

Dear @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji, People are slowly losing trust in railways because - We see modern trains, but overcrowded coaches. - We see Vande Bharat pride, but basic trains ignored. - We see new announcements, but old delays continue. - We see station upgrades, but dirty platforms remain. - We see speed upgrades, but safety concerns rise. - We see premium services, but common passengers struggle. - We see expansion plans, but no comfort for daily travellers. Yes, India is developing and trains are getting advanced, but please consider adding more general coaches in all trains so the poor can at least travel while sitting.

@BenBikmanPhD @Hashboz 🤔 there's evidence or no evidence?

@Hashboz There is evidence that a statin can lower MI incidence with a high CAC. You could also look at nattokinase.

So, @BenBikmanPhD, in your humble opinion, if someone did a Calcium score test that showed significant plaque building up, what is the right move? Most Dr.s will put you on statins and give you a low-fat diet (low trans.saturated fats)

@BenBikmanPhD @jasmeet481 @IntervnCardio

I wonder how much of medicine is driven by drugs. For example, why did they decide that LDL cholesterol is the main marker for heart disease, rather than triglycerides or insulin? After all, triglycerides and insulin are better markers of heart disease risk. The reason? Probably because LDL cholesterol is "targetable"--there's a drug (statins) that will lower it. So it matters less that LDL is a good marker, and more that it's a number we can change with a drug. And of course, make money in the process. If there were a drug that lowered triglycerides really well, I suspect mainstream medicine would focus more on triglycerides. (Incidentally, the best way to lower triglycerides and insulin is to control consumption of refined carbohydrates.)

@ShanElan8 @drmohanv Problem for me

@drmohanv Psyllium husk is effective

Constipation is one of the most common concerns people face as they grow older, but the solution isn’t always more medicines. Often, small dietary changes can make a big difference. Adding more fiber through vegetables, staying hydrated, and including probiotics like curd in your daily meals can naturally support gut health. Sometimes, simple habits done consistently work better than quick fixes. Take care of your gut — it plays a bigger role in overall health than you may think. #constipationrelief #guthealth #digestivehealth #fiberrichdiet #healthydigestion #probiotics #hydrationhealth

@Amelia558rs Additionally the pension policy for govt & Pvt retirees mist be same considering the fact that pvt employees pay more taxes YoY throughout their career

Give me a Yes if you agree.

@dlifein @Moveribfan ... and how about statins Sir?

GOI should 🟢Stop subsidising Sugar. 🟢Stop blaming FAT and promote traditional Indian Fats -- VCO, Desi Ghee and Amul Butter. 🟢Start blaming Carbs. 🟢Start questioning the doctors -- despite 20000 crore sales of anti diabetics why is India's avg A1C of diabetics is 8.5? @narendramodi @JPNadda

@ipo_agarwal Educate your area vendors of RUCO

How serious we Indians are about health, just understand it with example In my city there are many samosa sellers, while most of them sell samosa at 15 to 20 ₹, one sells them at 40 ₹ Those selling samosas cheap, use local oil and keep reusing them till the oil turns black like tar used in making roads While the one who sells samosas at 40 ₹ use branded oil and colour never turns black as he never reuses oil beyond a set limit As per estimate > 5,000 samosas are sold per day in the city but just 1% or 50 samosas are sold by the one selling at 40 ₹ For 99% people, 20 ₹ is more important than health!! By the way what’s your priority? (Image source : Gemini)
