3 drinks that can lower your cancer risk, says Harvard doctor. He too takes these
In a world flooded with health fads and miracle cures, sometimes the simplest solutions come in the form of what we sip daily. According to Dr. Sethi, a Harvard-trained gastroenterologist, three easy-to-make, science-backed drinks can naturally reduce inflammation and support gut health, two critical factors in lowering cancer risk. In a recent video, he broke down each of these potent drinks and explained how they work to protect your body from within.
Green tea (or matcha): A powerful antioxidant shield

Green tea has long been praised for its health benefits, but Dr. Sethi reinforces just how effective it can be in cancer prevention. Packed with antioxidants, green tea helps prevent cell damage. For an even stronger dose, he recommends trying matcha, a more concentrated powdered form of green tea that amplifies these protective properties.

Green smoothie with spinach and cucumber (pic courtesy- istock. Image used for representative purpose only)
Blending leafy greens like spinach or kale with hydrating vegetables like cucumber and celery—and adding a touch of ginger—creates a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory drink. According to him, this kind of smoothie plays a crucial role in cancer prevention.
Turmeric latte: The golden elixir

Turmeric, especially its active compound curcumin, is known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Dr. Sethi recommends preparing a
turmeric
latte. He prefers to use almond milk and adds a pinch of black
pepper
to enhance absorption. This warm, comforting drink does more than soothe and is, in fact, quite a common sight in Indian households. According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, curcumin—the active compound in turmeric—may help boost levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key protein involved in promoting the growth of brain cells and supporting the formation of new neural connections.

Month-long Yogandhra drive concludes on grand note
Vijayawada: International Yoga Day was celebrated on a grand scale across Andhra Pradesh on Saturday, marking the conclusion of the month-long 'Yogandhra' campaign initiated by state govt to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle. The main event for the 11th International Yoga Day was hosted in Visakhapatnam, while similar large-scale events were held at all district headquarters. In the Amaravati capital region alone, officials estimated a turnout of around two lakh participants. A major highlight was the mega celebration at Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium in Vijayawada, organised by the NTR district administration, where nearly 10,000 people took part. Police commissioner Rajasekhar Babu and district collector Dr G Lakshmisha actively participated. He emphasised the benefits of simple 45-minute daily yoga sessions, particularly in managing chronic illnesses. Yoga activities were also conducted along the dedicated 'Yoga Street' on BRTS Road, which had been operational for the past month as part of the campaign. At Ambedkar Memorial Park, about 1,000 NCC cadets from the 17th battalion demonstrated yoga asanas in a coordinated event. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh high court premises saw enthusiastic participation from judges, staff, and legal professionals.

Kareena Kapoor Calls Yoga 'More Than Just A Routine', Posts Pic From Her Session
International Yoga Day, celebrated on June 21, aims to promote the ancient Indian practice known for enhancing holistic well-being and personal development. Yoga is a powerful practice that not only strengthens the body but also calms the mind and increases awareness. The International Day of Yoga (IDY) was established by a 2014 resolution proposed by India, which received the support of 175 UN member states. This initiative was led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. International Yoga Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm across India, with events organised at all levels, from local to national. The theme for International Yoga Day 2025 is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health". This year, the 'Yoga Sangam" initiative will be the focal point of the celebrations in India, featuring mass yoga demonstrations at 1 lakh locations across the country.

Axiom-4 astronauts to study insulin behaviour in microgravity, revolutionise diabetes treatment
New Delhi: Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's Axiom-4 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) is set to offer a ray of hope for diabetics to travel to space, as a UAE-based healthcare provider is conducting an experiment on how glucose behaves in microgravity part of the "Suite Ride" experiment planned by Burjeel Holdings and Axiom Space, some astronauts of the Axiom-4 mission will be wearing continuous glucose monitors during their 14-day stay on board the orbital lab. The studies of the behaviour of glucose and insulin in microgravity conditions will help scientists develop wearable technologies for astronauts and patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility due to illnesses such as paralysis. "We are trying just to see if there is any change or fluctuation to the blood-sugar levels while they are in space," Mohammad Fityan, chief medical officer at Burjeel Holdings, Abu Dhabi, told PTI. The astronauts will also carry insulin pens in refrigerated and ambient temperatures to examine how the molecules respond to microgravity conditions. "We are hoping that if we learn something about the metabolism or the effect, we will bring some information and we can do something for our patients on Earth," Fityan said. Currently, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) does not allow insulin-dependent diabetics to travel to space. There are no official exclusions for non-insulin-dependent diabetics, but so far, no astronaut with diabetes has travelled to space. "It has the potential to transform the future of space travel for astronauts with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), a condition historically considered disqualifying for space missions," Fityan said. He said the study will pave the way for several innovative technologies and treatment approaches for developing advanced glucose-monitoring tools optimised for extreme or low-activity environments, improving wearable tech for both astronauts and patients with limited mobility on Earth. It will also help identify new pharmacologic targets by observing how metabolic and hormonal responses change in microgravity, leading to drugs that enhance insulin sensitivity or mimic the benefits of exercise in sedentary individuals. The AI-powered predictive models based on real-time physiologic data in space can be adapted to personalise diabetes care on Earth by forecasting insulin needs or metabolic shifts with higher accuracy. The research will also help develop remote monitoring platforms for continuous metabolic-data capture that could revolutionise diabetes care in underserved or remote areas on Earth as well as in tele-health settings.
