[नेत्वा धुरी NETWA DHURI @netwadhuri]

आज जग जीवनशैलीतून निर्माण होणाऱ्या आजारांचा सामना करत आहे.

२०२१ मध्ये असंसर्गजन्य आजारांमुळे जगभरात ४.३८ कोटी मृत्यू झाले. १.७३ अब्ज निरोगी आयुष्याची वर्षे वाया गेली. २०५० पर्यंत हा आकडा ७.५५ कोटींपर्यंत जाण्याचा धोका आहे.

गेल्या दशकात हेच दिसून आले — बदललेली जीवनशैली हेच या आजारांचे मूळ कारण आहे.
टाइप २ मधुमेह, लठ्ठपणा, हृदयविकार, मूत्रपिंडाचे विकार आणि फॅटी लिव्हर... ही यादी आता प्रत्येक घरात पोहोचली आहे.

यावर उत्तर एकच — आजारांवर प्रतिबंध आणा!प्रतिबंधासाठी खरी साथ मिळते ती 'आहारतज्ज्ञाची'!.
सकस आहार ठेवला तर आजार दूर ठेवता येतात! नियंत्रणात राहतात...

याच गरजेतून १३ मे २०२६ रोजी मुंबईतील परळच्या ग्लेनीगल्स हॉस्पिटलमध्ये 'इंटरनॅशनल असोसिएशन ऑफ डायटिशियन्स फॉर मेटाबॉलिक हेल्थ अँड न्यूट्रिशन' (IADMN) ची स्थापना झाली आहे.

ध्येय :
• आहारतज्ज्ञांना उपचार प्रक्रियेत मध्यवर्ती स्थान मिळवून देणे.
• पुराव्यावर आधारित उपचारांना चालना देणे.
• विशेष प्रशिक्षण आणि जागतिक दर्जाची प्रतिष्ठा निर्माण करणे.
• प्रतिबंधात्मक पोषणाला प्राधान्य देणे.

कारण योग्य आहार आणि योग्य जीवनशैली असेल, तरच या जीवघेण्या आजारांना आपण रोखू शकतो.

हे पाऊल केवळ एका संघटनेची निर्मिती नाही — हा निरोगी भारताच्या पायाभरणीसाठी घेतलेला दूरदर्शी निर्णय आहे.

परिचयातल्या सर्व डॉक्टरांना शुभेच्छा!

What is this nuisance with a band almost every alternate day at ceaser road amboli. Cant think straight! Who gives them permission? Imagine how disturbing it must be for kids and elderly. #amboli #noisepollution #banbands

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

This daily noise pollution needs to stop! Voting is done, now why do these politicians need to parade with loud dhol tasha every morning?

There is a school on this street, so much noise!

@mybmc @MumbaiPolice #AmboliSaiBabaMandir

Pack of idli batter bought from @letsblinkit and was completely swollen. @IDFreshFood sorry to see this.I am a regular customer of ID batters.A refund is not a solution. What about those who dont understand that a swollen puffed up pack is not safe to eat? #foodsafety @fssaiindia

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@letsblinkit no matter how urgent or inconvenient it is, I will never order anything from blinkit. You have consistently delivered poor, unsafe food and goods!! @jagograhakjago hope you are making a note!

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@letsblinkit you really need to up your quality game. Half the orders have spoilt produce- be it fresh or packaged goods!! #qualitymatters #foodsafety @fssaiindia

Noone would expect a week long vacation. In my opinion, Union Minister @smritiirani's statement is highly insensitive...especially coming from a woman #NoUterusNoOpinion #SmritiIrani #MenstrualLeave #PCOSWomen #PersonalOpinion #Insensitive 3/3

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

extemely painful for some women, to an extent that they cannot function normally. This can be disabling enough for some! Being sensitive towards this and enabling such women to rest on such sick days, if required is far from discrimination. 2/3

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

Prevalence of endometriosis is estimated to be 2-10 per cent in the general population, but up to 50 per cent in infertile women. Endometriosis affects approximately 70 per cent of women with dysmenorrhoea and dyspareunia in India, which can make periods... 1/3

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

This is Dr. Dimple Jangda.
She makes us believe that she is an Ayurvedic practitioner.

But the fact is that she is not a doctor.
She is not even an Ayurvedic practitioner.
She has no formal training in real medicine or pseudomedicine of Ayurveda.

She was a television producer. Then an investment banker. Then a podcast host. And thereafter, a talk show host.

She has a masters degree in business administration. She has a virtual online degree from National American University in (?)management which she claims is "honorary." She has a diploma in Yoga from Yoga Mumbai Institute. She has a virtual and unidentifiable degree in (?) business management from Thames International University, Paris.

She has no formal training in any aspect of healthcare. She is a quack of quacks. A top of the line fearmongering "wellness fraud" - a bottom feeder in the ecosystem of healthcare business.

She is a female version of Sadhguru. Lots of confidently sounding English words that takes shape of a word salad containing some of the biggest health-related misinformation and disinformation in Indian social media today.

See this video for instance.
She tells gullible people (who are already fearmongered about modern medicine and have distrust in doctors and medical science) not to opt for gall bladder removal surgery even if it gets complicated with stones disease or inflammation (called acute cholecystitis).

A dangerous misinformation that can lead to loss of life.

The physiology of gall bladder function and the change in function after gall bladder surgery that she provides is top-class garbage.

Complicated gall stone disease require surgery for cure and to prevent further complications. If you remove the gall bladder, you do not develop more diseases like diabetes or obesity. The bile gets stored in the upper part of the small intestine in the absence of gall bladder and keeps helping in digestion.

There is no food or diet shortcut that can dissolve gall stones. The story that this lady speaks about - from her own father's experience of using Ayurveda to remove gall stones is complete fabrication. It is an unverifiable, anecdotal bluff. There is no way, gall stones can just disappear in a month.

There is only ONE method to diagnose and treat gall stones disease and it is the scientific method based consensus guidelines.

See this from the European Association for Study of Liver - Clinical Practice Guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gallstones.
https://t.co/8jYIKbLcmI
It provides all information on
1. Prevention of gall stones
2. Diagnosis of gall bladder stones
3. Medical therapy of gall bladder stones
4. Surgical therapy of gall bladder stones
5. Diagnosis of bile duct stones
6. Endoscopic and surgical therapy of bile duct stones
7. Diagnosis and therapy of stones inside liver
8. Therapy of gall stones during pregnancy

Peppermint tea, hibiscus tea, lemon water and such easy sounding kitchen-hacks are not the treatment for gall bladder disease or complicated gall stones.

Gall bladder stones that are uncomplicated or incidentally detected do not require treatment. Do not worry about them unnecessarily. Gall stones that get stuck in the neck of the gall bladder or come down into the bile duct, causing bile duct obstruction, bile block and infection requires antibiotic therapy and after an interval, removal of gall bladder. Otherwise it could happen again and the second hit of infection could kill the person. It can also lead to gall stone pancreatitis that can lead to multiple organ failure.

No amount of hibiscus tea and lemon water will save you when you are in septic shock due to cholangitis and a ruptured gall bladder, on the ventilator inside an ICU.

High cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and fatty liver are not caused by removal of gall bladder, but are risk factors for development of the stones themselves - that is, metabolic diseases are associated with higher risk of developing gall stone disease and not the other way around.
https://t.co/HJ1ogYuGIx

The lady had gotten it all topsy-turvy - why?
Because she has no formal education in medicine and would probably have no clue on which side of the body the liver is.

Increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in women aged 48-60 years prevented (a correlation) risk of complicated gall stone disease, and subsequent surgery, but is not in anyway same as not doing surgery for complicated gall stone disease. Once complicated, surgery is the best bet to prevent further complications.
https://t.co/qeJsSpGsRy

There is no evidence that drinking carrot and beetroot juice helps reduce complicated gall stone disease or dissolves gall stones. This is utter nonsense.

You may be wondering why my post is so long and I had to keep going on and on to debunk small points made by Dimple Jangda.

It is not so simple.

Its because of this: The Bullshit Asymmetry Principle, also known as Brandolini’s Law, states that the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

PS: Please dont share any more of this quack's videos for me to debunk. I am getting too old for this.

@JoyBallanceRD @iddsi_org @BelfastTrust This is lovely!

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@AppleBKC @Apple @tim_cook @AppleSupport Right from placing the order to the entire customer service has been an extremely  painful and frustrating experience. I DO NOT recommend buying from apple india website or store at all!

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@AppleBKC @Apple @tim_cook @AppleSupport I went to the store and once again the order was not ready for pick up. I was assured by the floor staff  that issue will be sorted in 2-3 working days and by evening I see that apple has cancelled my pick up!

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@tim_cook will I ever get my order? Or will the next version be launched before that? #FeelingDuped @AppleBKC @Apple

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@Zubin_MUFC @AppleBKC @Apple Thats sad! Did you get your order finally?!

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@AppleBKC placing an order with apple has been such a pain! Products in store after a weeks delay, but they aren't able to hand over the product due to system error! Even the top management is clueless, & not helpful at all! Such a shame to have such a service from apple! @Apple

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

@AppleBKC you wasted another 3 hours of time, informing me to pick up my order. Not to my surprise you weren't able to deliver! Shocked to get such service from @Apple Feel duped!!

[Sukhada Bhatte @sukhadavb]

Can you believe that @Apple @AppleBKC you cannot connect with the customer service via email or calls? They refuse to escalate the matter! And waste your time in reassuring saga, but no real solution!
