At what age should you first get your cholesterol checked? Cardiologist reveals: 'If you have a strong family history…'
Cholesterol is a type of lipid that your body needs to function. It forms part of your cell membranes, helps your liver make bile and serves as a building block for hormones. However, the problem arises when you have high levels of LDL cholesterol in your blood. This can lead to an increased risk of heart disease. Therefore, early detection is important, as it can often lead to you taking up life-changing measures. Most people check their cholesterol only when they have a problem. But the question is – when should one check their cholesterol for the first time?(Image by Freepik) Also Read | Cardiothoracic surgeon explains why young people are at risk of heart attack, cardiac arrest; can it be prevented? So, when should you get your cholesterol checked? What is the correct age to get it done for the first time? In an Instagram video post on July 22, Dr Naveen Bhamri, MD, DM (cardiology), revealed the right age to get your cholesterol checked for the first time. He wrote, 'Most people check their cholesterol only when they have a problem…But the question is – when should one check their cholesterol for the first time?' Let's find out what the doctor said. At what age should you first check your cholesterol levels? According to the cardiologist, the general recommendation suggests that a person should get their cholesterol checked at the age of 20 years, and it should be done with a fasting lipid profile. What if the data comes back normal? He said that if your tests show a normal number, then you should repeat the tests after 4-6 years. If you have a strong family history of heart disease, then get your cholesterol checked as early as possible.

The cardiologist stressed that if you come under the high-risk category, for instance, you have a strong history of heart disease in your family, you have diabetes, you have high blood pressure, you are obese, you smoke regularly, you have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), or you lead a sedentary lifestyle, then you should get your cholesterol checked as early as possible. He added that Indian guidelines say that one should get their first lipid profile done as early as the age of 12 years if they are obese and have a strong family history. 'So, lifestyle changes at an early age can prevent heart disease later,' Dr Bhamri added in the end.

Is stress one of the main triggers of hairfall? 8 tips to protect your hair
Hair fall subtly points to underlying health concerns, suggesting it's not just a misstep in your haircare routine but sometimes an internal physiological issue. And not all the time the trigger is a physiological condition like hormonal imbalance, it can be psychological too. Stress is one of the contributors to hair loss. (Freepik) ALSO READ: Sudden hair loss and hair thinning? Dermat shares 3 medical conditions that can trigger alopecia A study conducted by Traya, involving over 1.63 lakh respondents, revealed that stress is one of the major triggers for hair fall, particularly in metro cities. With stress being a major contributor, it is also a reminder of how closely mental and physical health are connected. The study further reported that in metro cities, Indian men and women experience burnout symptoms from stress first, which are then followed by hair loss. This is a clear sign that protecting your hair requires a multifaceted approach, one that goes beyond haircare to include nutritional support and lifestyle changes. Dr Kalyani Deshmukh, Dermatologist at Traya Health, weighed in and shared 7 tips, covering both nutritional and lifestyle choices that help protect your hair: 1. Prioritise protein Eggs are a good source of protein.(Shutterstock) Hair is made of keratin, a protein. Ensure your daily diet includes high-quality protein sources, such as eggs, lentils, milk, nuts, and soy, to support healthy hair structure and growth. 2. Include iron and Vitamin D Beetroots contain iron.(Unsplash) Low iron and vitamin D levels are among the most common hidden causes of hair loss. Include leafy greens, beetroot, dates, and fortified cereals. Consider getting your levels tested and supplementing if needed. 3. Add omega-3s Omega-3 is found in fish.(Unsplash) Incorporate flaxseeds, walnuts, and fatty fish like salmon. These reduce inflammation and nourish hair follicles. 4. Probiotics and hydration for better gut health Add probiotics like curd to your diet.(Shutterstock) Drink enough water and include probiotic-rich foods like curd or kefir to maintain gut health. This indirectly supports better nutrient absorption and hair vitality. 5. Reduce heat and chemical stress Don't add too much heat for styling your hair.(Freepik) Minimise frequent heat styling and harsh treatments like rebonding or frequent colouring. Opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and avoid washing hair with hot water. 6. Stress management Calm yourself down with the help of yoga so you can sleep better. (Shutterstock) Chronic stress can trigger telogen effluvium – a condition where large numbers of hair enter the shedding phase. Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, regular exercise, journaling, or simply 30 minutes of device-free time daily. 7. Follow regular sleep schedule Avoid delaying bedtime and get adequate amount of sleep every night.(Pexels.) Sleep is when repair and growth happen. Aim for 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to balance hormonal cycles and reduce cortisol spikes that worsen hair fall. 8. Scalp massage Hair oiling strengthens your hair quality from the roots.(Shutterstock) Massage your scalp with light oils like rosemary or coconut oil weekly. This helps improve blood circulation and reduce stress. Think of it as a mini-meditation.

Sudden hair loss and hair thinning? Dermat shares 3 medical conditions that can trigger alopecia
Not all hair loss is a cause for concern, as the hair growth cycle often resets naturally. However, sudden or excessive hair loss may signal an underlying issue. One such condition is alopecia, which affects millions of people worldwide each year. Alopecia can occur at any age and may be linked to genetic factors, lifestyle habits, or other underlying health conditions. Also read | Facing sudden hair loss? Dermat explains if it's hair fall attack or hair cycle reset Alopecia can point to underlying health conditions, lifestyle factors, or genetic predispositions. (Freepik) In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Amrutha Hosalli Karjol, consultant and chief dermatologist, Vrudhii, Skin Center and Surgery Clinic, Hesargatta Road, Bengaluru said, 'While some hair shedding is normal, sudden or excessive hair fall can be distressing and may indicate the need for medical attention. Early recognition and timely management are crucial in preventing long-term damage to hair follicles and restoring confidence.' Certain medical conditions can trigger and worsen alopecia. Dr Amrutha Hosalli Karjol shared the common causes of sudden hair loss that need immediate attention. 1. Hormonal imbalances and endocrine disorders Changes in hormone levels, particularly due to thyroid disorders or conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), can disrupt the hair growth cycle. In women, elevated androgens may weaken hair follicles, leading to gradual thinning along the crown or widening of the hair parting. Also read | Blaming stress for hair loss? Dermat says it can be alopecia: Know types, risk factors Hair loss may indicate underlying health issues.(Shutterstock) 2. Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions Diseases such as alopecia areata and lupus trigger the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy hair follicles. This often results in sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp, beard, or other body parts. In some cases, inflammation of the scalp due to conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis can worsen hair fall. 3. Post-illness and nutritional deficiencies Major illnesses, high fevers, or post-viral syndromes, including COVID-19, can cause telogen effluvium, where hair shifts into a shedding phase. Inadequate intake of proteins, iron, vitamin D, and other micronutrients also weaken the hair structure, making strands more prone to breakage and fall. This can lead to noticeable hair thinning and hair loss.
