Doctor Outlines Health Challenges and Solutions for Pune in 2026
Dr. Sunita Tandulwadkar, a top doctor, says Pune people are getting sick earlier because they sit too much, eat bad food, and don't sleep well.
She says to stay healthy, people should eat better, exercise, sleep more, and check their health often.
She also talks about how pollution and stress are making people sick.
She hopes Pune will become a healthier place by making walking easier, cleaning the air, and helping people with their mental health.
She believes that if people take care of themselves and each other, the whole city will be healthier.
Modern ageing is happening earlier due to sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, and lack of sleep.
Chronic low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance are common health issues in Pune.
Preventive measures include stable glucose levels, strong muscles, deep sleep, and lower stress.
Mental health challenges like anxiety and burnout are rising, linked to poor sleep and stress.
Future medical trends focus on preventive care, early diagnosis, and AI integration.
