Priya likes the numbers behind healthy habits — the calorie target that actually fits your day, the water goal that isn't a myth, the BMI caveat nobody mentions. She's a writer, not a doctor or dietitian, and she's careful to say so: her goal is to explain the math clearly so you can talk to a real professional from an informed place. Curious, practical, and allergic to fad-diet nonsense.
