Orthopaedic surgeon warns ‘vitamin D deficiency is causing joint pain in millennials'; here's how to protect your bones
Joint pain is no longer just an issue for older adults. Increasingly, millennials are reporting aches and stiffness in their joints, often without an obvious cause. HT Lifestyle has reached out to experts to understand why this trend is emerging and what factors could be contributing to it. (Also read: Orthopaedic doctor says 'adding probiotics to your diet can help control joint arthritis, joint pain': Here's how ) Vitamin D deficiency is rising among millennials, contributing to joint pain and mobility issues. (Shutterstock) Why millennials are at risk of vitamin D deficiency Dr Srisanat Rao, Orthopedic Surgeon, Zynova Shalby Hospital Mumbai shared, 'Vitamin D is required for calcium absorption, bone health, and strong muscles. Millennials are more prone to Vitamin D deficiency because of their indoor-centric lifestyle. Desk jobs, digital entertainment, and erratic sleep cycles mean reduced sun exposure. Later, this deficiency can increase the chances of joint degeneration, fractures, and even osteoporosis.' Around 60% of millennials aged 29-44 have low vitamin D levels, leading to various joint issues. (Freepik) He added, "However, timely testing, dietary correction, and lifestyle changes can help to manage the deficiency. Around 50%-60% millennials are currently suffering from low vitamin D levels. Monthly, 6 in 10 millennials aged 29 – 44 are complaining of symptoms such as stiffness, knee pain, back discomfort, and reduced mobility, which are linked to low Vitamin D levels. Regular Vitamin D testing, combined with bone density screening, can help avoid long-term joint problems. Those deficient in vitamin D will be advised to take supplements and be exposed to safe sunlight. The supplements should be taken as per the expert's direction." Steps to maintain strong bones and joints Dr Upasana Garg, Regional Technical Chief, Apollo Diagnostic, Mumbai, explained, 'Bone health is essential for overall well-being and mobility. Unfortunately, approximately 60% of millennials aged 29–44 tested showed low Vitamin D levels, and signs of fatigue, bone pain, mood swings, and muscle cramps. Tests such as Vitamin D3, B12, calcium, and bone density screening can be booked at an advanced diagnostic lab. These tests can be booked online, with trained professionals visiting your home for sample collection at your preferred time.' Calcium and vitamin D can help in strengthening bones.(Freepik) "The testing is safe and there is no risk of infections, no multiple needle pricks, sterile vacutainer tubes give accurate results. Reports are delivered quickly in digital format, making it easier to share them with doctors and start timely treatment," says Dr Upasana. Talking about the contributing factors, she explains, "Maintaining strong bones requires a combination of adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol. Safe sun exposure and vitamin D supplements also play a crucial role. Taking proactive steps now can go a long way in preserving bone and joint health."

Omega 3 fatty acids help brain function, heart health: Otorhinolaryngologist explains how it is different from Omega 7
Omega-3 fatty acids, which can be found in fish and flaxseed, yield a number of health benefits, including the prevention of heart disease, a 2016 study published in the National Centre for Biotechnology Information found. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, ENT/otorhinolaryngologist Dr Vishal Tyagi, consultant, Fytika Healthcare Group, said dietary fat like omega-3 has experienced a complete flip in the recent past – from being dreaded to something that must be harnessed. Also read | Are you having enough omega-3? Know 5 common food sources and when you should take supplements Omega-3 and Omega-7 fatty acids contribute to overall health, but their specific benefits differ. (Freepik) What Indians must know about fatty acids The doctor explained that omega-3 and omega-7 fatty acids are both essential for our health, but they have different benefits and sources. He said, 'Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the better fats and are acclaimed universally for their overall goodness. Recently, omega-7 fatty acids also garnered attention for their potential benefits in skin and metabolic health. As the Indian consumer moves toward preventive health care, awareness around the functions of fat and its dietary sources allows appropriate nutritional selection.' What are omega-3 fatty acids? Dr Tyagi explained: 'The human body cannot produce the omega-3 fatty acids but must consume them as part of the nutrition. Omega-3 fatty acids assist in regulating cell membrane composition, brain function, heart health, and inflammation regulation. Of the three omega-3 fatty acids, ALA (in flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts), EPA, and DHA (in oily fish, including salmon, tuna, and sardines) are the others. Omega-3s are also overwhelmingly crucial, particularly for a pregnant woman, heart health, and joint inflammation.' What are omega-7 fatty acids? According to Dr Tyagi, 'Omega-7s, also known as palmitoleic acid, are monounsaturated fatty acids that our body makes, but taking them in some way or another through diet helps. Omega-7 has been found in macadamia nuts and sea buckthorn oil to improve insulin sensitivity, enhance fat metabolism, prevent inflammation, and assist skin. Metabolic syndrome, in which diabetes is included, is spreading fast in India, and omega-7 brings great relief.'

Omega-3 lowers triglycerides, blood pressure, and coronary heart disease, Dr Tyagi said, and added, 'Omega-3 reduces pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. DHA assists in the brain and eyesight development of a baby during pregnancy. Omega-3 eases skin diseases like eczema, is beneficial in bone health, and conditions hair and scalp.' What are the advantages of omega-7 fatty acids? Dr Tyagi said, 'Less researched, but with their own special, pretty advantages, are the omega-7s. They reduce insulin resistance and are therefore a pleasant friend to type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Omega-7s lower cholesterol levels and enhance fat metabolism. Applied to the skin, they are an all-natural emollient, bringing moisture and flexibility, and a good solution for anyone with dry or irritated skin.' How much should you take? For omega-3s, Dr Tyagi suggested: ● Adults need 1.1 to 1.6 grams per day of ALA, a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds, or 1.5 tablespoons of chia seeds. ● For EPA and DHA, the optimal dose is 250–500 mg/day, or two weekly servings of 100–150 grams of fatty fish. ● Some cardiovascular disease patients take no more than 1,000 mg/day in fish oil capsules. For omega-7s, he added: ● With or without regulation, there is a basis for 100 to 420 mg/day palmitoleic acid. ● It is best tolerated with 1 tsp (5 ml) sea buckthorn oil or 1 serving (20–25 grams) macadamia nuts. ● Sea buckthorn capsules are readily available and accessible in India. Omega-3 vs omega-7 According to Dr Tyagi, 'Omega-3s support the function of the brain, heart, and joints, while omega-7s and their associated metabolic efficiency are connected to our skin and reduce inflammation. Omega-rich foods like fatty fish, flaxseeds, sea buckthorn oil, or macadamia nuts, and sometimes structured supplements of a better quality are increasingly being organised to even have the scope to facilitate the health outcomes of Indian consumers to promote their long-term health. The best piece of advice is to talk to a medical professional about your own medical needs and supplements.'

Dermatologist shares tips for treating contagious skin issues during monsoon: ‘Avoid sharing personal items like comb'
The arrival of the monsoon season often brings with it numerous diseases like diarrhoea, typhoid, viral fever, malaria, cholera, dengue, chikungunya, gut health issues, and more health issues. However, one shouldn't ignore the skin issues that also come along with the rainy season. The combination of humidity, moisture, and heat can become the perfect breeding ground for skin issues. Dr Dhekne stressed that maintaining public cleanliness helps stop the spread of scabies and ringworm. (Shutterstock) In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Asmita Dhekne Chebbi, MBBS, MD Dermatology, Apollo Spectra Hospital, Bangalore, talked about ringworm and scabies, the most common monsoon skin diseases to look out for. Common symptoms and causes of ringworm and scabies Ringworm is a rash caused by a fungal infection. Per Dr Dhekne, it is usually itchy and forms in a circular rash with clearer skin. Meanwhile, scabies, she says, is caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, which produces a painful, itching rash that interferes with an individual's sleep. While ringworm commonly affects the arms, neck, groin, and scalp area, the highly contagious scabies spreads through clothing, towels, and bedsheets. Talking about the symptoms, Dr Dhekne elaborated: 'A few of the signs of ringworm include itchiness, hair loss and overlapping rings of blisters. As for the symptoms of scabies, one infected with it would experience severe itching and rashes on the skin, characterised by red bumps and blisters.' Preventive measures and the importance of timely medical attention Dr Dhekne stressed that maintaining public cleanliness helps stop the spread of scabies and ringworm. Additionally, avoiding contact and being careful while going out in public places also reduces the risk. 'These measures will ensure health and safety for all by eliminating risks and promoting overall well-being. Avoid sharing personal items like towels and combs, too, because they help maintain an individual's cleanliness and prevent infection from spreading further,' Dr Dhekne added. Lastly, the dermatologist highlighted that monsoon season skin infections are preventable, but are widespread. 'To promote ethical usage of over-the-counter medicines, it's important to discourage their use inappropriately without professional counsel. It is necessary that everyone takes care of their cleanliness and seeks an early checkup. A timely visit to a dermatologist will help prevent infection and will lead to an early recovery,' Dr Dhekne advised.
