Cardiologist explains heart attacks are deadlier in women than men, highlights ‘gender gap’ in heart health

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Heart disease is often perceived as a ‘man’s disease,’ but in reality, it is the leading cause of death among women. Yet, many symptoms in women are overlooked, misinterpreted, or misdiagnosed, partly because standard tests and treatments have historically been based on male patterns. From hormonal changes and stress to lifestyle and genetic factors, a wide range of elements influence women’s heart health – making awareness, early detection, and gender-specific care crucial for prevention and survival.

Heart disease is often considered as a “man’s disease” but it is much more prevalent in women.(Pexel)

Dr. Dmitry Yaranov, a cardiologist and heart transplant surgeon, specialising in advanced heart failure, heart transplantation, and mechanical circulatory support, working with Baptist Memorial Health care, is raising awareness about women’s heart health, highlighting that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women – yet it remains largely overlooked and underdiagnosed. In an Instagram video shared on September 21, the cardiologist outlines eight facts about women’s heart health and emphasises that many of these risks go unnoticed due to medical ignorance, often resulting in misdiagnoses and preventable deaths. He also talks about symptoms, risk factors and ways to stay healthy.

Prevalence of heart disease fatalities

According to Dr Yaranov, “Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women – yet many still think it’s a “man’s disease.” It’s time to change that!” He also mentions that it is the biggest health concern in women, which is frequently overlooked.

Heart attack symptoms

Dr Yaranov stresses that women usually do not experience the “classic” heart attack symptoms, which are common in men and regarded as the norm. He explains, “Instead of crushing chest pain, many feel nausea, fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath – often leading to misdiagnosis.”

Heart attack fatalities

The cardiologist points out that heart attacks can be deadlier in women, as compared to men. He explains, “Women are more likely to die within the first year of a heart attack than men, partly because symptoms go unrecognized or untreated.”

Detecting heart disease

According to the cardiologist, “Plaque builds up differently in women’s arteries, making heart disease harder to detect.” Standard heart disease tests were designed according to the patterns of men, which can be misleading for diagnosing women.

Emotional health

Dr Yaranov highlights the importance of the role of stress and emotional health linked to heart disease in women. He elaborates, “Conditions like anxiety and depression can increase heart risks, but they’re rarely part of heart health conversations.”

Post-menopause risks

Post-menopausal women are more prone to the risk of heart disease. The heart surgeon highlights, “The natural drop in estrogen removes a layer of protection, increasing the chances of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart attacks.”

Treatments

Dr Yaranov points out the appalling disparity of receiving life-saving treatments between men and women. “Whether it’s medication, stents, or even CPR, women receive them less often than men – yet they need them just as much,” the cardiologist adds.

Prevention

The doctor stresses that most heart diseases are preventable. He suggests, “A heart-healthy lifestyle, regular check-ups, and listening to your body can make all the difference.”

written by jummy84

Singer Aditya Rikhari’s recent concert in Noida took an unexpected and dramatic turn when the musical atmosphere was disrupted by a massive brawl between two girls and a woman right in the middle of the crowd. A video of the same emerged on social media, leaving social media users stunned by the chaos.

The reason behind the fight at Aditya Rikhari’s concert is not known yet.

Chaos at Aditya Rikhari’s recent concert

The singer-songwriter performed in Noida on Saturday at the International Trade Expo Centre. However, the performance was abruptly disrupted when chaos erupted mid-show, as two young girls clashed with another woman in a heated physical fight, shocking the audience.

A video has emerged on social media which shows two young girls hitting a woman during the live show. In the clip, two young girls were seen physically assaulting a woman during the performance. One of the girls repeatedly hit the woman, while the other initially tried to intervene before joining in the attack herself. The situation escalated quickly before the crowd stepped in to break up the violent altercation.

The reason behind the fight is not known yet. The incident led to a brief disruption, however Aditya continued the set after the hiccup. Social media users were left stunned, while some made fun of the whole incident.

“I really really really wanna know the reason,” one wrote, with another mentioning, “Sahiba got no chill.”

“We were standing there it was also entertainment there,” one comment read.

About Aditya Rikhari

At the moment, Aditya is busy with his tour. The singer is scheduled to perform next on Sunday, September 21, at Dayal Gateway in Lucknow. He will then head to Dehradun on October 4 and Pune on October 11 for more performances.

Aditya gained fame with his soulful track Sahiba. Though the song originally came out in 2023, it has recently got popular on social media.

Born in Mumbai, Aditya is known for traditional Indian sounds with contemporary pop and folk influences. His debut track Tu Kahan was released in 2020. Aditya made his Bollywood debut with Jaana Samjho Na in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which featured starring Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri. Most recently, he lent his voice to Sunn Mere Yaar Ve from Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s film Param Sundari.

Dasha Talks ‘Cutthroat’ Women, Men Who ‘Can Do No Wrong’ in Country

by jummy84
written by jummy84

When it comes to men and women in country music, the playing field is far from level. During this week’s episode of Rolling Stone‘s Nashville Now podcast, singer-songwriter Dasha shares her firsthand experience with the uneven balance of power in Nashville, especially when it comes to what artists can and cannot say.

“Especially in the country world, men, for the most part, can do no wrong. The more they’re outspoken and the more they express their opinions and go outside the lines, the more someone’s like, ‘Oh, he’s so cool,’” Dasha says.

But were a woman dare to be outspoken, she’d expect blowback, often from the genre’s very fans.

“Women are so cutthroat. If I saw a woman breaking the rules online a bit, in the country world, wearing some shorts that her cheeks are out, I’d be like, ‘Go queen!’ But they’re like, ‘You stupid bitch,’” Dasha says of online commenters.

After some therapy, Dasha says she’s able to better deal with the comments she receives. In the past, she’s read them and tear up. “Now, when I see those comments, I’m like, ‘Thanks, Karen from Minnesota, you’re feeding my algorithm. Appreciate you, girl.’”

Trending Stories

Dasha, who broke out with the viral hit “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’),” is gearing up for the release of her new EP, Anna, on Oct. 10th. On Friday, she dropped the latest track from the project, “Train.”

Download and subscribe to Rolling Stone’s weekly country-music podcast, Nashville Now, hosted by senior music editor Joseph Hudak, on Apple Podcasts or Spotify (or wherever you get your podcasts).

The Best Trench Coats for Women, According to Style Editors

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The best trench coats for women are nonnegotiable—your capsule wardrobe just isn’t complete without one of these do-it-all layers. Most of them, from the classics to the newcomers, are windproof and water-resistant, meaning they’re ideal for transitional weather. While the fall jackets themselves are more popular than ever right now, cropped trench coats are especially trendy; even Katie Holmes is in on the look.

If it’s chilly out, look for longer, lined options made with wool or polyester, which are better at trapping heat and locking out wind; if fall is warmer in your locale, then a lighter cotton pick is probably better. And don’t worry—styling a trench takes virtually zero effort. You only need a white T-shirt, your favorite denim, and slim loafers to feel (and look) put-together. In case the weather drops below 40 degrees, layer your coat over a hoodie, pleated trousers, and trendy sneakers to channel an off-duty model. Shop our edit of the very best trench coats below, curated by style-obsessed editors.

The best trench coats for women, at a glance

The Minimalist Layer

Madewell Single-Breasted Trench Coat

Jump to review

1. The cropped trench coat

Virtually every brand, from Prada to Zara, is offering its own take on the cropped trench this season, meaning you have plenty of ways to try on this jacket trend. Each of these picks tweaks the formula slightly, whether it’s a classic trench cut off at the waist, a super-short crop, or a silhouette that combines a trench and a biker jacket. Style your pick with high-waisted jeans and easy sneakers to channel Parisian chic.

Lands’ End Trench Rain Jacket

Zara Water-Repellent Short Trench Coat

Abercrombie & Fitch Cropped Trench Coat

Xiaoxuemeng Cropped Bike Jacket

2. The classic trench coat

What more can be said about the timeless appeal of a trench? These picks hit the knee or lower, and the gabardine fabric will neutralize wind and rain—basically, they’re the perfect transitional outerwear. You’ll find hallmarks like epaulettes, wind flaps, and double-breasted construction on each of these picks, so you can narrow down your choices based on color, weight, and price. (A Burberry trench coat is a classic, but there are plenty of more affordable options, too.) Obviously, they look great with jeans, but try styling yours with a light cardigan, a sequin skirt, and kitten heels to master the art of high-low dressing.

Burberry Castleford Trench Coat

3. The mac coat

When you close your eyes and picture a trench, you might actually be envisioning a mac coat. Short for “Macintosh,” after its inventor, this overcoat style is the trench’s more minimalist sister. These picks have spread collars instead of notched lapels and feature fewer design quirks in favor of a simpler, streamlined silhouette. If you like the idea of a trench but don’t love all the bells and whistles, one of these picks is the perfect compromise—they’re just as resistant to gray weather and allow more room for bringing in your own accessories.

4. The statement trench coat

Bored by the sea of khaki trenches you’ll see on every city street this season? Push the envelope of this classic style with these unique picks, which offer the same protection from the elements but a touch more personality—we’ve already started to spot them on the streets of New York. Whether you prefer a slick finish, an unexpected material, or an eye-catching color or print, these gems will elevate all your spring outfits with zero extra effort.

J.Crew Shiny Long Barn Jacket

5. The water-repellent trench coat

Don’t let windy and rainy forecasts deter you from rocking a trench coat this fall. In case of unpredictable weather, waterproof trench coats are your best bet to protect against whatever the season brings—it’s just as handy come spring. Most of the finds here are designed with water-resistant fabrics, detachable hoods, and back vents to keep you dry without sacrificing your outfit. The best part? These functional trenches are just as easy to style, so try layering one with a cashmere sweater in your favorite colorway for maximum comfort.

6. The leather trench coat

Leather jackets are classic wardrobe staples for fall, and luckily, they’re also available in trench form. Both genuine and faux-leather trench coats come in a slew of silhouettes; our favorites are double-breasted, range from waist length to ankle skimming, and have a belt looped at the waist. We recommend letting your luxe leather do all the work—whether you opt for a rich brown coat to match the autumn vibes or go into the Matrix with a sleek black jacket, a simple white tee, and your favorite pair of jeans will pair just fine.

Aritzia Tabloid Trench Coat

Loft Versa Faux Leather Trench Coat

Gap Vegan Leather Swing Jacket

7. The wool trench coat

While many are not technically trenches, long wool coats are great alternatives for combating cooler weather in the fall—especially in timeless neutral colors that transcend passing fashion trends. Wool layers, often made with a blend of other temperature-regulating fabrics, are the key to staying warm yet chic. No matter the weather, this timeless silhouette never goes out of style—and we highly recommend investing in this heat-insulating layer this season to beat frigid months ahead.

Fitness coach shares ‘best diet to lose weight’ for men and women over 30 struggling with stubborn fat

Struggling to lose weight after 30? Fitness coach Lars Meidell shares diet tips and smart strategies to shed pounds, burn fat, and stay healthy in your 30s.

Losing weight can feel tougher as you cross 30, with slower metabolism, busy schedules, and changing hormones making fitness a challenge. Fitness coach Lars Meidell shares in his September 18 Instagram post the most effective diet tips to help you shed pounds and stay healthy in your 30s and beyond. (Also read: Fitness coach says ‘I look and feel 10 years younger’, shares 10 anti-ageing foods he eats daily to stay youthful )

How do calories add up and cause weight gain over time

“This is 7,700 calories of chocolate,” Lars explains. “But there’s also 7,700 calories in 1kg of fat. This means you’d have to eat all of this chocolate on top of your maintenance calories to gain 1kg of fat. Doesn’t sound realistic to eat all of this in one day, does it?”

He adds, “So why is it that over time we gain weight even if we’re not eating huge amounts of food at once? The truth is, people get fat because calories add up gradually.”

Lars illustrates this with a simple example: “Here’s 550 calories worth of nuts, bread, and chocolate. If you just eat one of these portions on top of your maintenance calories for 14 days, you’ve gained 1kg of fat.”

What’s the key to losing stubborn fat

He advises, “You don’t have to cut out all the foods you love to live a healthy, happy, and sustainable life. But if you want to lose those stubborn love handles and achieve a toned, lean, flat stomach, you need to stop making mistakes like this.”

“To make it work, it’s crucial to know your daily calorie and protein goals, especially if you’re a man over 35. I’ve recorded a three-step guide showing how you can get the most effective nutrition plan,” concludes Lars.

10 Most Comfortable Sneakers for Women, Reviewed by Our Editors

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Allbirds has become a big name in comfy footwear in the last few years, and one of their most stylish silhouettes is also super comfy—win-win. Made with a soft, cushiony foam and organic cotton canvas, the Piper sneakers are made with both comfort and sustainability in mind. As a rare bonus, these sneakers are actually machine-washable; the brand recommends removing the insoles and laces before cleaning on a gentle cycle.

What our reviewer says: “I specifically purchased these shoes wanting a low-top pair of white sneakers that would look cute with dresses, and they have not let me down. From casual cotton minidresses to linen maxidresses, everything in my wardrobe complements them. As an added bonus, they are the best walking shoes; I wore them on a recent trip to Italy, where we had back-to-back long days of walking and exploring, so they are Euro-summer approved. I also love that they’re made of natural materials, which makes them feel ultra-breathable. Worth noting: the shoelaces are a tad shorter than I’d like, and I usually double-knot to ensure they stay tied.” — Austen Tosone

Courtesy of brand

What we love: Heel-first design; great arch support
What could improve: Limited colors

Heel-focused footwear brand Kuru upgraded its original Atom design with a better fit, springier cushioning, and improved heel support, all of which are important criteria for the most comfortable sneaker. We wish the design came in more colors, but we recommend the black or white colorways if you’re looking for something simple and walking-friendly.

What our reviewer says: “I’ve been searching for a pair of durable sneakers to handle my intense CrossFit workouts—and I finally found them. Feast your eyes on Kurur’s Atom 2. These sneakers feel like I’m literally walking on a cloud. They’re not only super comfortable and supportive, but also stylish—perfect for everything from walking to high-intensity training. Best of all, I didn’t even have to break them in.” — Chantal Waldholz, Glamour senior global director of audience development, social media, and analytics

  • Courtesy of brand

  • Original photo from Sarah Chiwaya testing Vionic Walk Max Sneaker

What we love: Breathable, water-repellent uppers; wide sizes available
What could improve: Not as versatile as some other sneakers

If you find yourself reaching for orthotics, you may want to add the Vionic Walk Max sneakers to your cart; everything is already built in. They’ve even received a seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association, so you can feel good about slipping into these for several hours knowing that podiatrists have signed off.

What our reviewer says: “I have pretty bad plantar fasciitis and I often walk 10,000 or more steps a day, so I’m super-particular about comfortable shoes. I’ve tried out a lot of sneakers, but the Vionic Walk Max remains my favorite. I’ve had my pair for years and have worn them for traveling, music festivals, casual hikes, and my day-to-day life in New York City, and they are still going strong. And, importantly, they don’t look like orthopedic sneakers!” — Sarah Chiwaya, editor and influencer

What we love: Adds height; classic style; under $100

Fat loss coach reveals the fitness industry’s best kept weight loss secret for women over 40

by jummy84
written by jummy84

For many women over 40, hours of punishing workouts, endless cardio sessions, and strict calorie cuts often lead to little or no progress on the scale. In fact, this approach can leave the body more stressed, drained, and resistant to fat loss.

Sustainable fat loss expert Isaiah Fergusson has revealed the fitness industry’s best kept secret to burning fat for women in this age group – walking. In an Instagram video posted on August 27, the weight loss coach explains that pushing the body with high-intensity training, endless cardio, and severe calorie cuts can actually backfire after 40, as the body begins to play by different rules. Instead, he highlights walking as a powerful yet underrated tool for fat loss – one that burns more calories than most people realise, while supporting the body without exhausting it.

Walking for weight loss

According to Isaiah, walking is the most overlooked fat loss method in women over 40. For years, the fitness industry has promoted intense cardio, boot camps, and HIIT sessions as the ultimate fat loss solution. But for women over 40, these workouts may actually backfire – raising stress hormones, spiking blood sugar, and making weight loss harder.

Walking is simple, free and sustainable, hence it is overlooked by the fitness industry and considered not hard enough. “For decades, you’ve probably been told that the answer to getting results is to sweat harder, push more, train more, work out more, burn more calories. But after 40, you have to play by a different set of rules,” says Isaiah, and continues, “There’s more stress, more cortisol, more blood sugar swings, and all of this grinding it out and trying to white knuckle your weight through training sessions – it only makes things worse.”

Benefits of walking

According to the fitness coach, walking lowers stress and cortisol levels as well as blood sugar levels, while also improving mental health, and he also adds that walking burns more calories than you realise, without taking a toll on your body. He explains, “Walking is considered non-exercise activity thermogenesis, which accounts for at least 30% of the calories that we burn on a daily basis.”

Isaiah points out that the key to sustainable fat loss after 40 is to stop working against your body. Instead of punishing workouts and strict calorie cuts, adopting daily walking can create long-term results without exhausting your system.

Gynaecologist shares 8 facts about osteoporosis in women; know causes and prevention steps

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Due to loss of estrogen after menopause, women are physically at more risk of osteoporosis. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Ashwin Shetty, consultant, obstetrics and gynaecology, Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital shared a few facts about osteoporosis in women, and what causes it. Also read | Orthopaedic surgeon warns 1 in 3 women face osteoporosis fracture risk, shares 10 prevention habits: ‘Jump 30 times’

What causes osteoporosis in women?(Freepik)

What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones decrease in overall mass. With the loss of mass, bones become brittle or fragile and will fracture more easily.

Osteoporosis affects both genders but women more

While individuals of all genders can develop osteoporosis, women are more at risk for significant osteoporosis after they have become post-menopausal, resulting from hormonal changes.

Here’s what you need to know about osteoporosis in women:

1. Estrogen is important for bone health

During menopause, there is a rapid decline in the amount of estrogen produced by the body. Estrogen helps to maintain normal bone density. It does this by regulating the function of the cells that resorb bone. After menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which means that bone resorption is greater than bone formation. This can lead to loss of mass very rapidly.

2. Bone loss may be severe after menopause

Women experience the loss of up to 20% of bone mass after the first 5-7 years of menopause before recovery begins. This allowed increased risk of fracture.

3. Areas of fracture risk

Post-menopausal women are at greater risk of spinal, hip, and wrist fractures as a result of bone loss. Also read | Osteoporosis: Foods for women over 30 to prevent weakening of bones

4. Risk factors other than hormones

Additional risk factors include family history, low body weight, sedentary lifestyles, low calcium and vitamin D intake, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.

5. Osteoporosis is a silent disease

Osteoporosis is often not recognised until a fracture occurs; hence it is referred to as a silent disease.

6. Screening is important

Finding out that you have osteoporosis early is important. The best way to screen for osteoporosis is with a Bone Mineral Density test (DEXA scan). Women should be screened no later than age 50, or younger if they have risk factors.

7. Preventative steps can make a difference

Dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or strength training, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake will all help to decrease risks.

8. There are medications available for some higher risk individuals

Some individuals will be prescribed medications to treat osteoporosis, either to decrease the rate of bone loss or increase the rate of new bone formation. Also read | Osteoporosis: Here’s what teens, young adults, pregnant or breastfeeding women should do

G Herbo Wants Marry Girlfriend Taina Williams Asks Women Quit Reaching Out Number Cheating Rumors
Celebrity News

G Herbo Warns Other Women, Wants To Marry His GF Taina

by jummy84
written by jummy84

G Herbo is ready to marry Taina Williams, and he’s putting the girlies on notice. In a recent social media message, the rapper warned women from his past about reaching out to him. He made it clear he’s locked in on his “woman,” but the post was deleted soon after it went live.

RELATED: Issa Kiii! Taina Williams & G Herbo Have The Internet Cuttin’ Up With Reactions Over Their Morning Routine (WATCH)

G Herbo Says THIS To Women Who Think They Know Him

At this time, it’s unclear what made G Herbo put out a notice about his dating status and how women from his past don’t fit in it. However, he didn’t mince words when he wrote (in all caps) that he’s now unreachable.

“ANY B*TCH THAT THINK THEY KNOW ME OR THOUGHT THEY KNEW ME DON’T KNOW ME! I’M TRYNA MARRY MY WOMAN…I ACCEPT ALL ACCOUNTABILITY 4 WHAT I MIGHT’VE DONE IN THE PAST BUT THAT SH*T IS THE PAST & I’M LEAVING IT THERE.”

While he didn’t name-drop the “woman” in his post, all heads turned to Taina Williams, the mother of his youngest children. The two have been in a seemingly on-and-off relationship for several years. After asking women from his past or otherwise to stay off his line, G Herbo admitted he won’t be changing his number. “I DON’T GOT TIME TO  BLOCK A B*TCH I’M CHASING $$ JUST DON’T CALL ME…TOO MUCH MONEY ON THIS LINE TO CHANGE #s,” he wrote.

Social Media Reacts To The Rapper’s Note

Nearly 5,000 reactions piled up in the comment section in less than a day of The Shade Room reposting G Herbo’s message. The comments ranged from speculations that the rapper got caught cheating to questions about why he recently posted his woman.

@_yoshig wrote, “Oh, brother,” while @miyadior added, “I’m trying to leave that in the past—the past being an hour ago.”

“I pray that we all find a love where you are treated correctly the first time,” @kayla_micah.

@slaykiaaaa said, “😂 Why would he say the part at the end .. 😂 so if they call you go fall for it ??!??”

“Shawty went thru his phone this morning,” @trinidadrell commented.

@dommonichie4 wrote, “Favorite line! I’m trying to get my family back ! 🤣🤣🤣👏”

@ashley.brionne added, “Sounds like he got into some mess he trying to talk his way out of.”

@the.affirmation.oracle said, “‘Tryna marry’ If you wanted to, you would. 🤣.”

What Is Herbo’s Status With Taina Williams?

Taina and G Herbo’s relationship seemingly hit a turning point this year when she and his former girlfriend, Ari Fletcher, settled their differences. Fletcher and Herbo share a firstborn son, Yosohn, and actively co-parent. After a few public spats, the women have since settled their differences. From Taina appearing on Ari’s YouTube cooking show in December 2024 to celebrating Yosohn’s 7th birthday in the Bahamas this year, Herbo said a few months ago that they’ve formed their own bond outside of him.

Aside from their peaceful blended family dynamic, Taina Williams and G Herbo have also been showing bits of their relationship again. In July, they had fans in stitches after sharing a hilarious video of her being his “personal alarm clock.” Days before his spicy warning for other women, Herb shared a carousel on Instagram with Taina prominently featured in the slide’s first photo. “I’m having what I’m having,” his caption says.

That said, G Herbo isn’t the only one who shuts down internet comments about his bond with Taina. In June, she teased a TikTok user about having it “all figured out” after the user shared a video about their relationship. Most recently, she addressed speculations after a video captured her kids’ dad going off on someone inside a black truck as she sat near him.
