How many people have tb?

I recently saw a campaign about TB awareness, and it reminded me of how serious it still is. I was wondering, how many people globally or in India are currently affected by TB?

Yaar, TB numbers are still pretty high, especially in our country. My uncle had it a few years ago. It was a long treatment, but he fully recovered. The main thing is to take all your medicines properly and complete the course, no skipping!

TB is a serious concern, and people with conditions like diabetes are more susceptible. So, for me, managing my blood sugar levels strictly is not just for diabetes but also to keep my immune system strong against infections like TB. Proper nutrition is also key.

Don't get too worried by the overall statistics, but it's good to be aware. TB is treatable, especially if caught early. Focus on a healthy lifestyle to boost immunity, and if you have a persistent cough for more than a couple of weeks, please get it checked. It's better to be safe.

A strong immune system is very important for preventing TB, and diet plays a huge role in that. Eating fresh, wholesome vegetarian food, rich in vitamins and minerals, really helps. Avoid processed stuff, and make sure you're getting enough protein and iron.

Boosting your immunity through regular exercise and a good diet can definitely help against infections like TB. It's not a direct cure, but a fit body is better equipped to fight off diseases. Always focus on holistic health, not just one aspect.

Oh, TB. I know it's common here. Does having good ventilation at home help prevent it, or is it mostly about overall health and immunity? I'm just trying to understand the small things we can do.
