Indian festivals are incomplete without fried snacks, spicy food, and rich sweets made in pure ghee.
While we all enjoy these delicacies, overindulgence can worsen acid reflux and gut problems.

⚠️ Why Reflux Increases During Festivals

Fried and oily foods delay stomach emptying

Spicy food irritates the stomach lining

Heavy sweets increase acidity and bloating

Late meals and overeating worsen reflux symptoms

🩺 Common Symptoms

Burning sensation in chest

Sour belching

Indigestion and bloating

Night-time acidity

✅ Doctor’s Advice

Enjoy festival food in moderation

Avoid overeating at one time

Eat early dinners

Take care of your gut health, because a healthy gut supports your overall well-being

👨‍⚕️ Explained by Dr.Shobna

✨ Take care of your gut — and your gut will take care of you.

Should kidney patients (CKD) eat protein or completely avoid it?
The answer is not to stop protein—but to control and choose wisely.

🩺 Protein Intake in CKD

Protein is essential for muscle strength and immunity

In CKD patients not on dialysis, protein intake should be limited but not eliminated

Around 50% of daily protein should be high-quality (Class 1 protein)

🍳 Best Protein Choices

Non-Vegetarians:
✔ Eggs, chicken, fish (in controlled portions)

Vegetarians:
✔ Paneer (cottage cheese), soybean, mushrooms
⚠ Pulses may be reduced as they are lower-quality protein

⚖️ How Much Protein?

Approx. 0.8 g/kg/day (as advised by your doctor/dietitian)

Once a patient starts dialysis, protein restriction usually goes away

🚫 Protein is NOT poison for the kidneys
✔ Quality and quantity matter
✔ Never stop protein without medical advice

👩‍⚕️ A renal dietitian helps adjust your diet—not eliminate food.

Autophagy is the body’s natural self-cleaning process where old, damaged, or junk cell parts are broken down and recycled.
This short video explains how low-protein diets can trigger this powerful cell detox mechanism.

🔬 What is Autophagy?

Autophagy switches on when the body experiences mild stress—such as reduced protein intake.
This activates internal repair pathways that:

Remove damaged cell parts

Recycle junk proteins

Improve metabolic efficiency

Support longevity and cellular health

🥗 Low Protein Diets & Autophagy

Going low-protein (for religious, medical, or health reasons) can stimulate autophagy.
But don’t overdo it—always consult your doctor before major dietary changes.

🌱 Benefits of Autophagy

Better metabolism

Improved cellular detox

Anti-ageing & longevity

Reduced risk of chronic diseases

Live healthy. Live long.

Can a kidney patient become a father or a mother?
The answer is YES – it is possible, with proper medical care and timing.

🩺 Kidney Disease & Fertility

Patients with early-stage kidney disease (creatinine up to ~2 mg/dL) usually maintain normal fertility and virility.

As kidney function worsens, fertility may decrease.

💉 Dialysis & Transplant Patients

Fertility often improves after kidney transplantation, especially in younger patients.

Once the transplanted kidney functions well for 1–2 years and immunosuppressive medicines are reduced to maintenance doses, safe conception is possible.

👶 Healthy Parenthood Is Achievable

Kidney transplant patients can become fathers and mothers

Many go on to have healthy children and normal family life

Planning should always be done under nephrologist and obstetric supervision

💙 Hope, planning, and medical guidance make parenthood possible—even with kidney disease.

Are eggs really bad for cholesterol? For decades, eggs were blamed for heart disease, but modern science tells a different story.
In this video, Dr. Sandeep Bhurke breaks down the myths vs facts about eggs and cholesterol.

✔️ Do eggs raise blood cholesterol?

Eggs contain dietary cholesterol, but dietary cholesterol does NOT directly increase blood cholesterol levels.

✔️ Are eggs healthy?

Yes! Eggs are rich in:

High-quality protein

Vitamins & minerals

Good fats

✔️ How many eggs are safe?

For healthy individuals without other medical conditions, one egg per day is safe and nutritionally beneficial.

✔️ Do eggs cause heart disease?

No. This is a myth.
Unless you have a specific medical condition, eating eggs in moderation does not cause heart disease.

We’ve all heard “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” 🍎 —
but what if you replace that apple with a samosa every day? 🥟

In this fun and informative short, Dr. Sandip Bhurke explains the difference between nutrient-rich fruits and deep-fried snacks.
While samosas give you calories from maida, potato, and oil, they provide zero nutrition — and long-term, may lead to obesity, high cholesterol, and blood pressure problems.

🍏 Apples, on the other hand, are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals that boost immunity and digestion.
So yes — enjoy your samosa occasionally, but don’t replace your apple with it!

But is that actually true?

🚫 The 8-glass rule is a myth — your body knows best!

When people hear “shock treatment” or ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), they often imagine painful torture scenes from old movies.
But the truth is very different.

In this video, Dr. Nishtha Dalwani explains what actually happens during modern ECT:
💡 It is done under anesthesia — you are asleep and feel no pain.
⚡ The electrical current is carefully controlled, not like what’s shown in films.
🧠 It helps treat severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and psychosis when medicines don’t work.

✅ ECT is not torture — it’s treatment.
It’s safe, scientific, and often life-saving for patients who have lost hope.

If you found this helpful, share it to spread awareness and fight the stigma around mental health.
