Inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism, designed to protect against infections, injuries, and toxins. However, when this process becomes chronic, it silently contributes to a wide range of diseases—ranging from heart disease and diabetes to arthritis and even certain cancers.

Nails are often overlooked in daily medical assessment, yet they are windows into our inner health. Subtle changes in their color, shape, thickness, or surface may reflect not only local conditions but also systemic diseases. From nutritional deficiencies to chronic organ dysfunction, nails silently record what the body endures. A physician who trains the eye to read these signs can often detect illness earlier than routine laboratory investigations.

Longevity is not just about adding years to life, but adding life to years. As physicians, we recognize that the journey toward healthy aging is built on daily habits, preventive health measures, and timely medical care.

Diabetes mellitus is not a single disease—it is a family of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar due to problems with insulin. It is one of the leading global health concerns, affecting millions of people across all age groups.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia — an abnormally high level of glucose in the blood. It results either from: • Deficient insulin secretion (the pancreas does not make enough insulin), • Impaired insulin action (cells do not respond properly to insulin), • Or a combination of both.

Medicine and health are fields where myths and misconceptions often spread faster than facts. From household remedies passed down through generations to half-truths circulating online, patients frequently come to clinics with firm beliefs that may not be supported by science.

Inflammation is the body’s natural defense mechanism against injury, infection, or harmful stimuli. However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can silently damage tissues, contribute to arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.
