Rise in Metabolic Health Issues Among Young Indian Professionals Linked to Lifestyle

Corporate cafeteria meals high in refined carbohydrates and processed foods may contribute to these conditions. Doctors note a shift with younger, often non-drinking adults developing metabolic disorders previously seen in older populations, highlighting the impact of modern work culture and diet on long-term health.
