In late 2025, The Lancet released a landmark series of papers on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) — drawing together data from over one hundred studies, spanning decades, populations and continents.  The conclusion was stark: rising consumption of UPFs is displacing traditional, whole-food diets worldwide — and is strongly associated with a growing burden of chronic disease.  For anyone interested in healthspan, metabolic clarity, or simply feeling vibrant as they age — it’s a ca

Across the world, Botox and fillers have become synonymous with “anti-ageing.” They promise quick results: smoother skin, lifted brows, fuller features, instant confidence. And while they may provide temporary aesthetic benefits, they also come with risks, trade-offs and long-term considerations that many people are never fully informed about. At Shimalia, we approach longevity differently. We believe that your face reflects the health of your organs, lymphatic system, hormon

But beneath the aesthetics lies something far more important — your waistline is one of the most meaningful indicators of metabolic health we have. And unlike weight or BMI, waist circumference is a powerful predictor of future hea

For years, we’ve been told that carbohydrates are the enemy of stable blood sugar. Yet the evidence — and decades of clinical experience — tell a different story. At the heart of metabolic health lies a simple but powerful truth: It’s not carbs that dysregulate blood sugar. It’s fat interfering with how the body processes carbs. When the diet is consistently high in fat, particularly saturated fat, fat droplets accumulate in the muscle and liver cells. This creates a form of

Across the world, chronic illness has become the defining health challenge of our time. Rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune conditions, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction are rising sharply—yet research continues to show that many of these conditions are influenced more by how we live than by the genes we inherit. The science is clear: Lifestyle is the strongest driver of long-term health—and one of the most powerful tools for preventing disease. The Scale of
