💧 Water Pollution: The Hidden Danger in Your Glass

 By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

Crystal clear water may look safe — but looks can deceive. Today, water pollution is one of the biggest silent threats to our health, often carrying invisible toxins, microbes, and even microplastics that affect our bodies over time.

What’s in Contaminated Water?

Polluted water may contain:

  • Industrial chemicals & heavy metals (like lead, arsenic, mercury)
  • Pesticides & fertilizers that seep into groundwater
  • Microplastics from bottles, packaging, and textiles
  • Bacteria, parasites & viruses causing infections
  • Excess fluoride or nitrates affecting bones and metabolism

How Water Pollution Impacts Health

Every sip of unsafe water can leave long-term marks:

  • Stomach & gut issues: diarrhea, gastritis, infections
  • Kidney and liver strain: from filtering out toxins
  • Hormonal imbalance: endocrine disruptors mimic or block hormones
  • Metabolic effects: worsening of diabetes, thyroid, obesity
  • Cancer risks: from prolonged exposure to heavy metals and chemicals

Children, pregnant women, and people with chronic conditions are the most at risk.

How to Protect Yourself & Your Family

  • Drink only filtered or boiled water
  • Choose RO + UV purifiers for urban households
  • Avoid storing water in old plastic containers — prefer steel or glass
  • Stay updated on local water quality reports
  • Support clean water initiatives and safe disposal practices

When to Visit a Doctor

Seek medical help if you experience:

  • Recurrent stomach upsets or diarrhea
  • Unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, or hair fall
  • Signs of thyroid or hormonal imbalance
  • Long-term kidney or liver issues

👉 Don’t ignore repeated health issues — they may be linked to water quality.

Water is life — but only when it’s clean. Polluted water slowly chips away at your health, often unnoticed until it’s too late.

🧠💥 Take Charge of Your Metabolic Health - Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon!

  by Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara In today’s fast-paced world, where sedentary lifestyles, stress, and poor eating habits have led to a rise in obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, taking charge of your metabolic health is more important than ever. But where should you start? Let’s begin with a common question:   Does exercise really help with weight loss?  Absolutely. Whether it’s a 20-minute swim, a brisk 30-minute walk, or a session on the treadmill, you could burn around 250–350 calories. But here’s a fun fact — your body naturally burns 1300–1800 calories a day just by keeping you alive. This is called your resting metabolic rate.
