Description
In today’s episode of Debunk with Karuna, we continue our conversation with Dheeraj Khurana as he clears up common myths around strokes and brain health. He explains why stroke awareness is still low in rural India and how simple tools like BEFAST can help anyone quickly spot symptoms and save a life. We talk about how new treatments allow doctors to help even when the exact time of the stroke isn’t known, and why delays—often caused by hesitation, myths, or home remedies like opium can be dangerous.
We also touch on how lifestyle plays a huge role in brain health: the importance of regular exercise, eating fresh foods, and avoiding overly processed, sugary diets. Dheeraj shares insights on gym risks, supplement misuse, and how to consume caffeine safely. Finally, we explore major neurological issues like multiple sclerosis, migraines, brain fog, Alzheimer’s, and dementia, making them easier to understand and recognize.
