I think in the beginning it was less to do with religion and more to do with hygiene and health. India is a humid country. It’s very hot most of the year, and even in winter, during the day, the weather can be warm in many areas. I mean, it is not as cold as other regions of the world. M...

I’ve fantasized about writing this article for years. Some of those years, I wasn’t even sure I’d ever be able to write it. The fight seemed endless. Restriction and overexercise in my teens morphed into binge eating, which quickly moved into bulimia, intermittently mingling wit...

In dermatology particularly, where extensive research increasingly highlights diet’s profound impact on skin conditions, “you are what you eat” holds true more than ever before. Vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and hydration: these are the nutrients we ingest that profoundly influ...

I was at the pediatrician's office with my son, waiting for our turn, when a little girl came out with her mom walking by her side.
