The Problem of Sulphur-Deficient Soil and Its Implications for Human Health in India Tejasvani Knowledge Desk | Soil Health • Food Quality • Human Nutrition Introduction: An Essential Nutrient Beneath Our Feet When we discuss soil health, we often focus on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. However, another essential plant nutrient deserves greater attention: sulphur. Sulphur plays an important role in plant growth, protein synthesis, enzyme activity and the production of se

Mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline are becoming increasingly common worldwide. Alongside conventional medicine, interest in herbal remedies has grown because many traditional medicinal plants have shown promising effects on brain health and emotional well-being. How Herbs Influence Mental Health Modern research suggests that medicinal herbs may support neurological and psychological health through several important mechanisms: Modulatio

Brain Health Series A According to recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately one in every eight individuals globally is affected by a mental health condition. Among these, depression remains one of the most disabling and prevalent conditions, followed closely by anxiety disorders, which frequently co-occur and often worsen depressive symptoms. In addition, cognitive decline, especially in aging populations, has emerged as a major public health concer

Adipose Tissue and Obesity Mainly two types of adipose tissue exist in humans: the white adipose tissue (WAT) and the brown adipose tissue (BAT). WAT stores energy as triacylglycerols (TGs), while BAT is involved in the maintenance of body temperature by promoting thermogenesis. Now they say an intermediate colour beige also exists. It is accepted WAT is bad and BAT is better in between spectrum. Especially after birth and in the prepubertal period, adipose tissue grows mainl

Fat Cells (Adipocytes) During weight gain, fat cells (adipocytes) grow in size, a process known as hypertrophy. Once these cells reach their storage capacity, the body begins creating new fat cells, called hyperplasia. These cells undergo epigenetic changes that “remember” being enlarged, which often drives rapid weight regain even after dieting. The Cellular Mechanics of Fat Storage Hypertrophy vs. Hyperplasia Initially, existing fat cells swell to store excess caloric energ

Key facts (WHO Dec.2025) In 2022, 1 in 8 people in the world were living with obesity. Worldwide adult obesity has more than doubled since 1990, and adolescent obesity has quadrupled. In 2022, 2.5 billion adults (18 years and older) were overweight. Of these, 890 million were living with obesity. In 2022, 43% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight and 16% were living with obesity. In 2024, 35 million children under the age of 5 were overweight. Over 390 million chil

The most noticeable aspect of the female reproductive system is menstruation, or cyclic vaginal bleeding, which occurs alongside a series of coordinated hormonal shifts. Menstruation, also known as menarche when it first begins, typically starts around puberty Menstrual cycles cease at menopause. For menstruation to occur, the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis must function properly, the endometrium must be healthy, and the uterine outflow tract must be patent. Numero

Midlife weight gain is primarily driven by aging, reduced metabolic rates, and lifestyle changes, rather than hormonal shifts alone. However, dropping estrogen levels significantly trigger a shift from "pear-shaped" (gluteal-femoral) to "apple-shaped" (abdominal) fat deposition, escalating cardiometabolic risks. Asian women tend to accumulate more visceral (abdominal) fat than Caucasian women of a comparable Body Mass Index (BMI). As ovarian function declines, the decrease i

It is characterized by ovarian cysts, irregular ovulation, and hormonal imbalances, manifesting as menstrual irregularities, infertility, excessive androgen levels (leading to conditions such as hirsutism), and metabolic disturbances. Women with PMOS are at an elevated risk of developing serious health issues including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and endometrial cancer. It affects over 116 million women worldwide, or approximately 3.4 % of the global female popu

#Tejasvani knowledge desk Menopause, a natural biological stage in a woman’s life, marks the cessation of menstruation and the end of reproductive capacity. This phase, typically occurring between the ages of 40 and 58, is primarily characterized by a decline in estrogen levels and ovarian function depletion (Newson, 2018). In addition, menopause can be induced surgically through ovary removal or result from radiation or chemotherapy (Zhu et al., 2016). Post-menopause refers

#Tejasvani knowledge desk Typically, between the ages of 45 and 52 years, women inevitably go through menopause and hormonal changes, and the absence of menstruation is its defining characteristic. In most cases, menopause begins in women at 42 years of age. Perimenopause is a transition period that begins several years before menstruation and is marked by the cessation of more significant functions. Hot flashes, nocturnal sweats, and psychosomatic symptoms are all part of a

Tejasvani Knowledge Desk For decades, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) has been one of the most commonly diagnosed hormonal disorders affecting women. However, recent scientific discussions have highlighted that the name "PCOS" does not adequately describe the complexity of the condition. A new term is now being proposed: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) This revised nomenclature reflects the broader hormonal, metabolic, and systemic nature of the disorder rath

Tejasvani Knowledge Desk Blood is a vital fluid in the human body that performs many essential functions necessary for life. It transports oxygen and nutrients, removes waste products, regulates body temperature, and protects the body against infections. An average adult has about 5 litres of blood, which accounts for approximately 7–8% of total body weight. The density of blood is around 1060 kg/m³, which is very close to the density of water (1000 kg/m³). Blood circulating

Key Takeaways Our gut develops a baseline microbial pattern early in life. Later interventions are often temporary. The best long-term strategy begins in childhood: limited junk food, minimal unnecessary antibiotics, diverse plant foods, and breastfeeding. Prebiotics make sense because they feed existing beneficial microbes. Probiotics may have temporary effects. Normal vaginal delivery and breastfeeding support healthier early gut colonization. Food remains the most powerful

Tejasvani Knowledge Desk In the Indian tradition, the Sun has always been revered as a source of life and energy, and for good reason. Sunlight, together with the Earth’s natural grounding or earthing, remains one of nature’s greatest gifts for human health. Somewhere in the last century, “sun-kissed” bodies became a fashion statement. Excessive exposure led to skin damage, and skin cancers were strongly associated with ultraviolet radiation. This created the perfect environm

We recently revisited discussions around Cytotron therapy for cancer, a technology developed by Rajah Vijay Kumar, a Bangalore-based inventor and technologist. A few years ago, a mutual acquaintance had encouraged me to meet him. At that time, my limited understanding of the subject made me hesitant. Today, with a deeper effort to understand cellular signaling in cancer, I feel far more confident in appreciating the scientific intent behind this technology. In the ongoing pur

Exploring Bioelectricity, Cancer, and the Emerging Conversation Around Earthing #TejasvaniKnowledgeDesk Cancer is traditionally defined at the pathological level, but modern research increasingly views it as a disease of genomic instability a progressive decay of the genome marked by numerous mutations ranging from chromosomal alterations to single-nucleotide changes. While only a limited number of genes are formally classified as cancer driver genes (oncogenes or tumor suppr

Earthing (or grounding) refers to connecting the human body to the Earth’s natural electrical charge. It is often described as a form of “electric nutrition” and a “universal regulating factor in nature”. Scientific research suggests that regular contact with the Earth may positively influence immune function, muscle recovery, bone health, cardiovascular health, nervous system balance, sleep quality, and emotional well-being.
