According to nutritionist Dr Vishakha, "Chronic inflammation is a SILENT KILLER!" that requires immediate action with an “anti-inflammatory lifestyle.” Dr Vishakha has shared a video on Instagram to highlight various symptoms of chronic inflammation and provide insights into managing this condition effectively.

In her caption, Vidya Balan writes, “Thanks toVidya Balan weight loss, which she said is courtesy and ‘anti inflammatory' diet, inflammation seems to be the new buzz word! There is absolutely NOTHING new about this theory. In fact, I have written an entire chapter on the importance of an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, let alone diet, in my book on covid a few years ago! That being said, so glad it's come to the forefront courtesy Vidya Balan.”
