How rising heat Is changing Indias health: Womens risks, climate diseases & gut health

In the 15th episode of Health Wrap by The Hindu, we examine how rising heat and environmental stressors are reshaping health risks across India -- from womens wellbeing and climate-linked disease patterns to the hidden ways heat affects gut health. We discuss a major study on womens health and heat exposure, the growing urgency of heart-resilient urban planning, the climate connection to vector-borne illnesses, and how the gut responds to stress and hydration changes. The episode ends with an expert conversation on constipation and bowel habits with robotic colorectal surgeon Dr. Venkatesh Munikrishnan Presentation: Ramya Kannan and Zubeda Hamid Video and Editing: Thamodharan B Production Coordination: Athira Elssa Johnson
