New Delhi [India], October 13: Most gut-health conversations orbit yogurt, fibre, or probiotics. Rarely do cranberries enter the picture.

New Delhi [India], October 2: October is globally observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when the pink ribbon takes over cityscapes, workplaces, and social media feeds. But behind the symbolism lies an urgent question for India: Are we doing enough to address breast cancer not just through treatment, but through prevention? According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), breast cancer has now overtaken cervical cancer as the most common cancer among Indian women. What’s equally alarming is its increasing prevalence among younger women, many of them mothers balancing careers, caregiving, and personal health. This is where nutrition quietly steps in as an overlooked, yet powerful shield. Emerging research points to the role of balanced diets rich in fiber, antioxidants...
