There is an Italian term, il dolce far niente, that calls for intentionally letting go—to prioritise simply being alongside doing. It gives the brain the pause it needs to recharge so that it can be more productive. Yet in today’s hyperconnected world, this kind of purposeful idleness has become increasingly difficult to access.
It sounds simple enough: just avoid overeating. But managing portion sizes is often more challenging than it seems. Many people unknowingly consume more than they intend to, which can lead to weight gain and other health issues. The key to success lies in understanding what a true serving size looks like—and often, it is smaller than we think.
Researchers have made a significant advancement in the treatment of type 1 diabetes, a condition where the immune system destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. In a recent clinical trial, scientists tested stem cell-derived islet cells (zimislecel) as a potential treatment for this disease.
TIME has named Dr Tahmeed Ahmed, Executive Director of icddr,b, to the 2025 TIME100 Health, its annual list recognising the 100 most influential individuals in global health.
On 11 July 2025, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) released a new report titled Mapping the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Traditional Medicine.
Obesity and heart failure (HF) often go hand in hand, and addressing this connection is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Here is a breakdown of the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of obesity in individuals with heart failure:
Dengue, an Aedes mosquito-borne viral infection, has been a crucial public health concern during the monsoon in our country for its worrying statistical value.
This tropical fruit is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support overall wellness

A recent study has raised concerns about the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots in spreading health disinformation. Researchers tested five major AI models—OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s Llama, and xAI’s Grok Beta—by instructing them to provide false yet scientifically styled responses to health-related questions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has launched the “3 by 35” initiative, urging countries to increase real prices on tobacco, alcohol, and sugary drinks by at least 50% by 2035 through health taxes, says a news release.
