Tamil TV artist Bharat Kalyan's wife Priyadarshini, aged 43, breathed her last recently. The deceased person herself was a TV artist.

As per reports, she was on a paleo diet after being diagnosed with diabetes. The diet was either extreme or didn't suit her physiologically, causing coma and eventual death.

What is a paleo diet? It is a diet prescribed by doctors or experts for those who want to shed weight, says a medical portal. A health site says that the diet includes fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds. Things that humans used to eat in the hunting era are considered paleo diets.

Priyadarshini fell into a coma after starting the diet regimen. She was treated for three months. The doctors couldn't save her, reports say.

It has to be borne in mind that extreme diets can't be prescribed generically. Doctors say that a patient's physiology has to be studied and only then diets prescribed. One-size-fits-all diet plans result in counter-production results or negative side effects.
