Did you know that vitamins play a key role in healthy hair growth? Here are a few that make all the difference: Biotin (Vitamin B7): Stimulates keratin production for follicle growth. Found in eggs, meat, and nuts. Vitamin A: Encourages scalp nourishment through sebum production. Sweet potatoes and spinach are great sources. Vitamin C: Balances oxidative stress and boosts collagen and iron absorption. Citrus fruits are your best friends here. Vitamin D: A must for combating hair loss conditions like alopecia. Think fatty fish and mushrooms. Vitamin E: Fights oxidative stress, with foods like sunflower seeds and almonds. Your hair is a reflection of your overall health—so if you’re experiencing consistent hair loss, take it as a cue to evaluate your diet and lifestyle.

The AMR crisis is not being faced equally worldwide. While developed countries manage it effectively, in developing nations like India, it has reached catastrophic levels. A doctor friend of mine in India told me he prescribes antibiotics even for dysentery. it’s to be safe, fearing there might be another hidden infection. I found this reasoning alarming. It’s not a precise, targeted approach but like using a “Brahmastra,”You can’t entirely blame the doctors; in India, professionals across the board—doctors, engineers, lawyers—often neglect ethical standards. With widespread poverty and low education levels, most patients lack the confidence to question their doctors, unlike in developed countries like the US. When my son was six, he developed a high fever right after we arrived in India. A local doctor prescribed a cough syrup made by Abbott Labs, a product banned in the US for children. When my wife pointed this out, the doctor defensively shrugged it off, telling her it was our choice whether to give it to him. Think about it: Abbott, a US company, cannot sell this syrup in the US, but Indian doctors continue to prescribe it, treating Indian children’s lives as less valuable than the profits Abbott stands to make.
