M. Sreenanda, an 18-year-old college student from Koothuparamba, tragically passed away after suffering severe health complications, reportedly caused by changes in her diet based on YouTube videos.
Sreenanda was a first-year undergraduate student at Pazhassi Raja NSS College, Mattannur. According to reports, she had been following a diet plan she found on YouTube, significantly reducing her food intake in an attempt to lose weight. Over time, this drastic change in her eating habits is believed to have led to serious health issues.
She was initially treated in the emergency ward of Thalassery Co-operative Hospital but was later transferred to Kozhikode Medical College for further medical attention. Despite efforts to stabilize her condition, she sadly did not survive.
Sreenanda is survived by her father, Alakkadan Sreedharan, mother, M. Sreeja, and brother, Yadunand. Her untimely passing has raised concerns about the dangers of following unverified online health advice without proper medical supervision.
The incident serves as a tragic reminder of the importance of seeking expert guidance when making significant changes to diet and lifestyle.
