Is the December chill sets in, many people notice their joints feeling stiffer and more painful. Cold weather can tighten muscles, reduce blood flow, and make existing arthritis or inflammation feel worse.

If you’re experiencing morning stiffness, joint swelling, or discomfort after sitting for long periods, it may be your body reacting to the drop in temperature.

Here’s how you can find relief this season:

1.Keep your joints warm by wearing layers, using knee or elbow warmers, and avoiding direct exposure to cold air.

2.Do light stretches or yoga to maintain flexibility.

3.Include calcium- and vitamin D–rich foods to support bone and joint strength.

4.Use warm towels or heating pads to ease stiffness.

5.Stay warm, stay active, and listen to your body your joints will thank you.

PART 3 — “The Hidden Side of Obesity No One Talks About”

Featuring:
Dr. Swamikannu M., Director & Senior Consultant – Internal Medicine
Dr. Rajendran, Senior Consultant & Clinical Lead – Rehabilitation Medicine
NALAM Program Experts at MGM Healthcare

In this eye-opening episode, our experts dive into the real, often ignored challenges of modern health — and how the NALAM Program is transforming the way we understand weight, ageing and overall wellbeing.

What’s inside Part 3?

Weight Management in the Elderly
Why weight loss after 50+ needs a different science — and how elderly adults can safely improve strength, mobility and metabolic health.

What Makes the NALAM Program Unique?
A complete, coordinated approach combining medicine + rehab + nutrition…
Not a diet. Not a gym routine.
A fully personalised medical transformation ecosystem.

Depression & Weight Gain
How emotions, mental health, stress hormones and mood changes deeply impact appetite, metabolism and weight.

Why “Sitting is the New Smoking”
How long hours of sitting silently damage your metabolism, joints, lungs — and increase chronic disease risk even if you “exercise a little.”

Sedentary Lifestyle & Obesity
The dangerous loop: tired → sitting more → gaining fat → feeling heavier → moving even less.
And how to break it powerfully with small, daily habits.

Is Ageing Happening Earlier Because of Obesity?
From hormonal burnout to joint degeneration — early ageing is becoming REAL. Our doctors explain why.

SPECIAL: Myths vs Facts
Our experts bust the biggest misconceptions people still believe.

Heroic Mid-Air Lifesaving Intervention by MGM Healthcare Specialists

Two senior specialists from MGM Healthcare and the MGM Cancer Institute demonstrated exceptional courage and clinical expertise during a critical in-flight medical emergency on an Etihad Airways flight on December 1, 2025.

While returning to India after a medical camp in Ethiopia, Dr. Gopinathan M (Consultant Hemato-Oncology, BMT, MGM Cancer Institute) and Dr. Sudharshan Balaji (Senior Consultant & Clinical Lead Urology, MGM Healthcare) responded to a young crew member who developed acute anaphylactic shock just 40 minutes after take-off.

Anaphylaxis is a rapid, life-threatening allergic reaction that can cause airway swelling, bronchospasm and dangerously low oxygen levels. The crew member had zero air entry and oxygen saturation of 80%, making immediate intervention crucial especially challenging mid-air with limited medical resources and no possibility of an emergency landing.

The doctors quickly stabilised him by administering:

1.Steroids to reduce airway inflammation

2.Bronchodilators to improve airflow

3.Anti-histamines to counter the allergic reaction

4.Continuous oxygen for nearly four hours

They performed almost one hour of resuscitation before ventilation improved. Under their continuous monitoring, his vitals stabilised, oxygen levels improved, and he remained conscious and communicative until landing.

This incident, occurring between 2:30 PM and 7:30 PM (Ethiopian time), showcases extraordinary medical commitment at 30,000 feet above ground.

Guided by the philosophy of Doing More. Better., MGM Healthcare remains dedicated to delivering compassionate, high-quality care not just within hospital walls, but wherever lives depend on timely medical intervention.
