Our Nutritionist Is Following These New Year Resolutions For A Healthier 2019; Find Out What These

Are

1. Sleep early:

This is possibly the most overlooked aspect of health. Sleeping early is NOT 'uncool'. Adequate sleep is essential for rest and recovery. To be able to sleep early, put away your mobile phones, other gadgets and turn off your television sets half an hour before your stipulated bed time. Try to get 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

2. Exercise regularly:

This one has been said infinite number of times, yet it's worth repeating. It's more worthwhile to maintain regularity rather than starting over-zealously and falling out soon.

3. Staircase instead of lift:

Use the staircase instead of the elevator, walk to your destination whenever possible.

4. Eat whole, natural foods, choose local & seasonal produce:

Patronise the farmers, not the food industry. So skip the ready-to-eat, processedand packaged convenience foods as there are numerous health hazards involved.

5. Eat small & frequent meals:

Plan ahead for 3 main meals and atleast 3 small mid-meals or snacks. Carrying your meals and snacks when you head out of home is smart, and NOT 'uncool'.

6. Include 5-7 servings of fruits & veggies a day:

Include as many colours as you can, make sure they are local and seasonal.

7. Learn to recognize hunger & fullness signals:

So you will be able to avoid both extremes - starvation and overeating. It's an essential life skill to learn for good health.

8. Limit alcohol intake:

It's not healthy for any organ, in any quantity. When you are drinking wine, know that you are drinking for the sheer pleasure of drinking, and not for your heart health.

9. Quit smoking:

You are not only risking your own self, but also your near and dear ones who end up smoking passively. Use the progressive approach by reducing the numbers gradually.

10. Minimize use of plastics:

Plastics not only pollute the environment but also wreak havoc on female hormones.

11. Embrace zero waste cooking:

Try to use all parts like leaves, stem, roots etc to prepare soups, broths, vegetable stock. When we use only one plant part and discard the rest, we end up wasting tremendous amount of valuable nutrients.

12. Set weekly targets:

Set weekly targets for exercise, alcohol, cigarette cessation, weight loss, inch loss etc. Maintain a log to chart your progress. Don't forget to assess non scale victories like better energy, better endurance, improved sleep quality, fewer cravings, feel healthier and clothes fit better.

Lastly do not step onto the weighing scale every day. It never helps anyone. Infact, the stress and anxiety it causes is detrimental to good health. So keep your focus right, set your priorities, don't fall into the trap of fad diets for quick weight loss, and most importantly enjoy the journey.

World AIDS Day 2018: 4 Reasons Which Stop People From HIV Testing

December 1 is observed as World AIDS Day. This day is meant to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, a disease which destroys the immune system and makes the body prone to various diseases and infections. The idea behind World AIDS Day 2018 is to show solidarity towards all the people who are living with AIDS and also remember those who died because of AIDS. The theme of World AIDS Day 2018 is "Know Your Status", which stresses on the importance of knowing one's HIV status in order to fight against the disease. The theme is important because 9.4 million people across the world are unaware that they are HIV positive, UNAIDS reports. This is primarily because there are various stigmas around HIV testing.

स्वस्थ रहने के लिए इम्यून सिस्टम का मजबूत होना बेहद जरूरी होता है. अगर आप अक्सर बीमार रहते हैं और खासतौर पर मौसम में बदलाव आने पर आप सर्दी-जुकाम आदि से ग्रस्त हो जाते हैं तो इसका एकमात्र कारण है इम्यून सिस्टम का कमजोर होना.

इम्यून सिस्टम के कमजोर होने से बीमारियां तुरंत जकड़ लेती है और यूं कहें कि जीवाणु आपके शरीर पर हमला कर बैठते हैं. ऐसे में बहुत जरूरत होता है एक संतुलित आहार लेने की. आइए हम बताते हैं कि आप क्या करें अपने खाने में शामिल जिससे मजबूत बने आपका इम्यून सिस्टम.

This Natural Sugar Supplement Could Help Fight Cancer

Mannose a nutritional supplement found naturally in fruits such as cranberries can aid in slowing the growth of tumours and improve cancer treatment, a study has shown. The findings showed that mannose enhanced the effects of chemotherapy in mice with multiple types of cancer including leukaemia, osteosarcoma, ovarian and bowel cancer. It slowed tumour growth, reduced the size of tumours and even helped increase the lifespan of some mice. Tumours use more glucose than normal, healthy tissues. However, it is very hard to control the amount of glucose in your body through diet alone. Researchers found that mannose can interfere with glucose to reduce how much sugar cancer cells can use.

एलोवेरा एक औषधीय पौधा है. इसे ग्वारपाठा, घीकवार और धृतकुमारी के नाम से भी जाना जाता है. एलोवेरा के जूस का सेवन करने से शरीर में होने वाले पोषक तत्वों की कमी को पूरा किया जा सकता है. एलोवेरा में एक जड़ी-बूटी की तरह कई गुण होते हैं. चेहरे के लिए अमृत और औषधीय गुणों का भण्‍डार है एलोवेरा.

एलोवेरा का इस्तेमाल सर्दी और गर्मी दोनों ही मौसम में कर सकते हैं. हेल्थ एक्सपर्ट के मुताबिक, सुबह खाली पेट एलोवेरा जूस के सेवन से पेट की समस्याएं दूर हो जाती हैं.

Depression is a mental disorder and affects how you feel and can also cause changes in your body. If not treated on time depression can have a negative impact on your physical health and well-being. Feeling low or anxious at times is a part of life, but if these feelings are constant and bothering you all the time they could be the early symptoms of depression. Normally we feel depressed or low when we constantly struggle with financial stress, work issues or loss in our lives, and a little of it is absolutely fine. But if it goes beyond the little, such as feeling hopeless, inferior, pessimistic, helpless and worthless, then the depression can be a major issue which needs urgent attention and support.

A 30-year-old Lance Naik in the Indian Army was given a second chance at life after he was transplanted with another heart from a fellow 29-year-old soldier who was declared brain dead. Reportedly, the surgery took place at Army’s Research and Referral (R&R) Hospital in Delhi last Wednesday, November 14.

What had happened?

Reportedly, the donor’s heart was airlifted all the way from the Siachen base medical facility to the Army’s R&R Hospital in Delhi. According to reports, the donor, who was also a lance naik, fell ill on November 10. He was brought to the Pratappur base camp in Siachen for basic treatment. However, due to poor weather, he could only be airlifted out of Siachen on November 12.

In the heartland of India, Uttar Pradesh, last week a specialised hospital for elephants was inaugurated in Mathura’s Churmura Village in Farah’s block. The first of its kind hospital has facilities such as wireless digital X-ray, laser treatment, dental X-ray, thermal imaging, ultrasonography, hydrotherapy, and quarantine facilities for elephants.

Agra Divisional Commissioner Anil Kumar inaugurated the first specialised elephant hospital on Friday. The hospital is built entirely with private donations and Corporate social responsibility(CSR) support. It is built next to an Elephant Conservation and Care Centre (ECCC) run by NGO – Wildlife SOS.

शादी के बाद भी चाहती हैं स्लिम फिगर तो ऐसी चीजें खाएं

अक्सर देखा जाता है शादी के बाद लड़कियों का वजन बढ़ने लगता है. वो समझ ही नहीं पाती हैं कि वजन बढ़ने के कारण क्या हैं. अगर आपके साथ भी ऐसा हो रहा है तो जान लीजिए किन कारणों से वजन बढ़ और इसे कैसे रोका जा सकता है.

शादी के बाद नई दुल्हन को नाते-रिश्तेदारों के यहां दावत खाने जाना होता है. वहां तेल और ज्यादा चीनी वाली चीजें खिलाई जाती हैं. इसके बाद हनीमून पर बाहर जाते हैं तो वहां भी खाने पर कंट्रोल नहीं होता है. शादी के बाद वर्किंग वुमन अपने खान-पान का सही ख्याल नहीं रख पाती हैं जिस वजह से वजन बढ़ने आम बात है. फिर नई-नई शादी के एक्साइटमेंट के चलते ज्यादातर डिनर बाहर ही करते हैं तो ये भी मोटापा बढ़ाने की वजह हो सकती है.

जीवनसाथी को खोने की पीड़ा अक्सर लोगों की आंखों की नींद छीन लेती है. ऐसे लोगों में दिल की बीमारी का खतरा बढ़ जाता है. यह बात हालिया एक शोध में सामने आई है.

दरअसल, अपने जीवनसाथी से बिछड़े लोगों को अक्सर नींद में खलल की शिकायत रहती है और वे अनिद्रा रोग के शिकार हो जाते हैं. इससे उनकी शारीरिक पीड़ा बढ़ जाती है. शारीरिक पीड़ा व उत्तेजना अधिक होने पर उनको दिल का दौरा पड़ने का खतरा बना रहता है.

अदरक वाली कड़क चाय ज्यादातर लोगों को पसंद होती है. चाय में अदरक डालने के बारे में हमने आपको पहले बताया था. इसमें यह बताया गया था कि कूटकर या कद्दूकस. कैसे अदरक डालने से चाय का स्वाद बढ़िया हो जाएगा. अब हम आपको बता रहे हैं कि चाय में अदरक छीलकर डालना चाहिए या बिना छीले ही कूटकर डालना सही है.

पहले यह जान लीजिए कि चाय में कूटकर अदरक डालने से इसका ज्यादातर रस कूटने वाले बर्तन या फिर जिस जगह पर कूटते हैं वहीं पर गिर जाता है. यानी चाय का स्वाद बढ़ाने वाला अदरक का रस जमीन या ओखली में ही रह जाता है. इसलिए अदरक वाली चाय का वो फायदा नहीं मिल पाता जैसा मिलना चाहिए. वहीं कई लोग लकड़ी की ओखली में अदरक कूटते हैं. इसमें भी अदरक का रस ओखली सोख लेती है.

Things No One Told You About Organ Donation

August 13 is observed as World Organ Donation Day every year. The purpose of the celebration is loud and clear - topromote organ donation for those who are in need of them. In India alone, lakhs of people die each year because of their organ failure. Such people could live to see a new day if only people with healthy organs could go ahead and donate their organs. There are many organs which can be donated after death. Donated organs can be life-changing for thousands of people in need, all across the world. World Organ Donation Day 2018 promotes the need for organ donation around the country and the need to spread awareness of the same. The main objective lies in removing the taboo around organ donation.

Things no one told you about organ donation

Organ donation is a process where an organ is transferred from the body of the one who is giving the organ (donor) to the one who needs the organ (recipient). The donor can be living or deceased. Organs that can be donated are kidney, lungs, heart, eye, liver, pancreas, cornea, small intestine, skin tissues, bone tissues, heart valves, and veins. There are two types of organ donation - live donation and cadaver or deceased donation.

Live donation is executed using a living healthy person. Organs that can be donated by a living person are kidneys and liver. This is because a donor can survive on one kidney, and the liver eventually grows back to its normal size. Cadaver donation, on the other hand, is executed using a person who is declared dead in terms of ultimate loss of respiration and consciousness. The idea behind World Organ Donation Day is to spread awareness about cadaver donation.

What is the relation between brain death and donation?

Brain death is declared by doctors when there is an irreversible loss of consciousness and the absence of our brain stem reflexes. But, even after someone is declared brain dead, the organs can still be kept alive through artificial technology. Hence, if someone dies at home or any other place other than the hospital, then his/her organs cannot be donated. Vital organs can be donated only if death occurs in the hospital. In cases where the person has a cardiac death, organs that can be donated would include corneas, bones, ligaments, veins, heart valves, blood and platelets, and blood stem cells.

What are the organs that can be donated?

1. Kidney

Kidneys are the most commonly donated organs and are also the ones in most demand. A transplanted kidney has a functioning lifespan of nine years. Since people can survive even on one kidney, such an organ donation will not pose any serious threat to the life of the donor.

2. Heart

Even though heart transplants are becoming frequent day by day, a heart can survive only for four hours outside the body of the donor.

3. Liver

It is interesting to note that a fully functioning liver can be divided into two parts and one part can be donated to one who is in need. The other part in the donor's part will eventually resume the size of a normal liver. Liver transplants are important because the liver is a bank for storing vitamins and are an important organ for removing waste from the blood.

4. Intestine

Intestine donation is rare but can be well executed. Live donation can be employed and a living person can donate a portion of his intestine.

5. Lungs

Living donors can donate a single lung while deceased donors can donate both the lungs. Damage in the lungs can lead to serious problems in breathing and may also cause death. So, for those who have damaged lungs, it is advisable to seek lung donation and for those who have a healthy pair of lungs, a request for donation can be extended.

6. Pancreas

A living person can donate a portion of pancreas since pancreases are organs that can redeem their functionality with time.

7. Bones and veins

Yes, even bones and veins can be donated! Cancerous bones in recipients can be interchanged with donated healthy bones. Veins that are donated can be used in cardiac bypass surgery.

Who are exempted from being a donor?

People who are strictly restricted from donating an organ are those with cancer, HIV or with bacteria in the bloodstream that can cause diseases. Apart from such people, anyone healthy can go ahead and donate.

The Wacky World Of DNA

Can you roll your tongue? Damn, I just can't! How about your earlobes? Are they attached or unattached? Remember that man who came to drop off your pizza the other night? His fingers were so hairy! You looked down to see if you have the same problem...come on now, don't deny it! Oh and those dimples on that girl at the mall! Uffff!! Killer! Why does my girlfriend not have them?

We've all noticed these differences, and we all know why these differences exist amongst us. Yes, It's genetics.

We all share about 99.9% DNA with each other. Whaaaaat? It's true. That 0.1% difference in our genetic make up is what makes Hrithik Roshan look spectacularly handsome in his new photoshoot, while the person in my dressing table mirror can never seem to look better than a Rhesus monkey, no matter how hard he tries! It's this 0.1% difference that led to our HR manager losing so much weight over the last 2 weeks, while I'm pretty sure I gained a few kilos just by THINKING about cheesecake...ooh cheesecake...

Alright then...Let's start with some basics:

The human genome contains about 30,000 genes made up of 3.2 billion nucleotide bases.
If you take out your entire DNA, it would kill you yes, but laid end to end, it would stretch from the earth to the moon 6000 times!
You could fit 25,000 strands of DNA side by side in the width of a single adult hair.
Your genes only make up about 2% of the DNA, while 8% of your DNA comes from ancient retroviruses.
You share about 99.9% DNA with every other human on the planet including Hugh Jackman. Feeling good about ourselves our we? You share the same amount with Lalu Pra...let's not go there. Also, you share 98% DNA with chimpanzees, 92% with mice, and about 50% with Bananas! Yes Bananas.
Red Blood Cells are the only cells in our body that do not possess DNA.
If you wanted to type out the entire genetic code (I'd judge you slightly) - Assuming you can type up to 200 letters a minute, and don't take a single break; It would take you about 29 years to finish. So I'd suggest taking a pee break BEFORE you sit down to do this. Just saying.
Not a fan of typing? Then try reciting the ATGCs in your DNA. Start tomorrow morning, non-stop, and at the rate of about 100 per minute, and you'll be done by the year 2074.
Your paramour can SMELL your DNA. (I don't know if this fascinates me or creeps me out.)

And now it gets REAL interesting!

Let's say you have an identical twin. Did you know..you would share 100% DNA with him! Now say you both got married to two identical twin sisters, and had children.

Your children would be cousins...but also GENETIC SIBLINGS sharing IDENTICAL DNA!

Some women have a mutation which makes them Tetrachromatic. This means that their eyes contain four different kinds of cone cells. This means that compared to you or me, who can just see about one million colours, these women can see and distinguish between almost TEN million colours! No wonder they keep getting angry when we men compliment their 'pink' shirt - "It's not pink! It's salmon with a slight tinge of fuschia!"

Did you know? Near the end of the last ice age, almost all the cheetahs were wiped out. The handful that survived went on to breed among themselves, and saved the extinction of their species. Thus, every single cheetah out there today, is partially a clone of the rest of them!

Ever heard about the Fugates? They were a family in Kentucky in the 1970s. The family suffered from a rare genetic condition called "methemoglobinemia". Thanks to this rare condition and the rampant inbreeding in the family, they all had BLUE-COLOURED SKIN!

People will have you believe that with the advent of modern medicine and the advances in healthcare, one could theoretically live forever. Well....as it turns out, your genes disagree. Theoretically, our genes are coded such that the ability of our cells to divide in order to survive is limited to about 120 years. The longest documented lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France, who defied her genes and lived for 122 years, 164 days -(1875-1997).

Do you know "Mitochondrial Eve"? Really? She may well be you great great great great great great great grrrr.....eaaatttt grandmother. It is believed that all humans contain genetic material passed on from a single female line extending back to her. Oh..she was alive some 200,000 years ago, so chances are you didn't get to meet her.

The American agricultural biotechnology giant Monsanto has created the "Suicide seed". These seeds make use of genetic restriction technology and render themselves sterile after the first generation of crop is grown.

Hate Broccoli? Can't stand the taste of Cabbage? Just the thought of cruciferous vegetables makes you throw up in your mouth? Well, tell your parents it may not be your fault! Plants belonging to the Brassica family contain a compound which is strikingly similar, chemically, to Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). PTC can taste rather insipid or very bitter, Theoretically, our genes are coded such that the ability of cells to divide in order to survive is limited at about 120 years. The longest documented lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of depending upon your genetic make up! So now you know..when your mom makes that OH YUMMY face while chomping on broccoli..she's faking it!

Real life superhero story anyone? In 1994, a John Doe, was involved in a devastating car crash. Fearing the worst he was rushed to the emergency room. Imagine the shock on the face of the doctors, when they realised he had not fractured a single bone! Not even a hairline fracture on his spine! This man suffered from a rare genetic mutation that causes your bones to become very very dense. His bone density was more than 8 times that of a normal human! Oh..poor guy couldn't swim though. Sank like a stone every time!

Kodinhi is a small village in Kerala that has geneticists baffled! This village has witnessed the birth of twins at an alarmingly large rate! Over 250 sets of twins, and 3 sets of triplets within just 2,000 families! Inbreeding could have explained this phenomenon to some extent, but it has been seen that even when the women from this village are married to genetically unrelated mean from villages across the nation, they still have a propensity to have multiple births!

There's 7 billion of us on this planet now. And we all boast of genetic variations among one another. But did you know, that there's a group of 55 chimpanzees in West Africa who have twice the genetic variability of all 7 billion humans combined?! Essentially the chimps in that small group in Ivory Coast are genetically more different from one another, than you are from any person anywhere in this world!!

Pumped some iron at the gym today? Feeling the pump? Feeling good about yourself after putting in all those hours building some muscles? Tch tch, if only you were "Uberboy" - a John Doe born in Germany in 1999. This kid was born RIPPED! Yes he would have put Wolverine to shame. Four years into his life, and the toddler Uberboy was lifting more than six times as much weight as other toddlers his age. Before you ask me..no he wasn't the son of the Hulk, nor was he experimented upon - he had a genetic mutation in his myostatin genes, which are responsible for regulating muscle growth in the body.

There's a rare genetic condition called Macrodactyly, or 'Local Gigantism', which causes a certain part of the body to grow to a larger than normal size. In 2007, a man from China called Lui Hua was hospitalized with this condition. At the time of admission his left thumb measured over 10 inches (25.4 cm) and his index finger almost reached 12 inches (30.5 cm)!

This is weird yet could be aesthetically pleasing (?). Affecting about 3% of the world population, erythema migrans or the "wandering tongue rash" is a rather common genetic mutation. This condition is harmless, causing depapillation of the tongue in certain areas, rendering them smooth and red. These depapillated regions are dynamic, giving the tongue a rather map-like appearance. No wonder it's commonly referred to as the "Geographic Tongue syndrome"

Holy Leaping Frogs!! 2006 saw the birth of a neck-less baby with gigantic eyeballs bulging out of his head, giving him a rather frog like appearance. His sisters on the other hand were absolutely normal. This baby suffered from a rare genetic condition, leading to a medical condition called anencephaly, which is characterised by the absence of major portions of the skull, scalp and brain.

In the Harry Potter universe, the Weasleys were the mutant family! What?? Mutant wizarding folk?! Well yeah! They all had red hair and freckles - two of the most common conditions of genetic mutation. Yes, red hair and freckles are genetic mutations.

In the words of the young Charles Xavier (Yeah, Professor X), from the movie X-Men: First Class, heterochromia is a "very groovy mutation". It is indeed! What's that you ask? Well, Heterochromia iridum refers to a genetic mutation that causes eyes to have multiple colours in them. The range of this mutation ranges from a slight different colour towards the centre of the eye (Central heterochromia), to a segmented colour variation in the iris (Sectoral heterochromia) to completely different colour in the left eye from the right! (Complete heterochromia)

Right approach can help autistic individuals mainstream: Experts

According to the first rigorous estimate of the country's autism prevalence, roughly 23 of every 10,000 children in India have autism.

When exposed to the right developmental approaches and intervention procedures, individuals diagnosed with autism can join their counterparts in the mainstream.

Ahead of 'World Autism Awareness Day' observed on April 2, Deepa Malini, certified developmental therapist told the media here on Sunday that, "autistic individuals are different in their developmental milestones. Our focus should be on recognising and building these milestones first, before hitting on academics."

According to a latest study published in the Journal Laboratory Investigation, only one high fat meal could pave way for heart diseases.

If you think you are allowed to binge to your heart's content once a day, you may have to think again. According to a latest study published in the Journal Laboratory Investigation, only one high fat meal could pave way for heart diseases.

According to the study, healthy young men had to struggle to relax blood vessels, after having milkshake made with whole milk, whipping cream and ice cream.

61 percent of the deaths in India in the age group of 30 to 70 are due to non-communicable diseases such as heart disorders, diabetes, and cancer, according to a WHO report published in September 2017.

Most of these are preventable deaths since they are associated with lifestyle choices made by individuals from early on in their lives. The stresses of the modern lives start pestering the lives of young Indians at every stage of life from getting education, to getting a job, buying a house or travelling through traffic.

Most of the young lives in India are spent in cutting through the rush and competition. In this rush, health and wellbeing of the individual often get neglected, leading to sickness and loss of productivity of the individual which in turn leads to loss of productivity of the economy.

An outbreak of Zika fever, which causes microcephaly — a rare birth defect marked by unusually small head size, eye abnormalities and nerve damage — is likely in coming years because of a build-up of favorable environment for the virus, researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and Jamia Millia Islamia have cautioned.

The virus will follow a cyclic pattern identical to dengue and chikungunya, which surge every 3-4 years, although the exact cycle in terms of the number of years is still unknown.

According to the latest data, published in JAMA, at least 7.7 percent of American adults were severely obese in the same period.

Obese people who have stomach-narrowing surgery suffer less from arthritic knee pain

Seems like, stomach-narrowing surgery does not just augment your beauty but also aids in easing the chronic knee pain. According to a NYU School Of Medicine-led study, extremely obese people who have a band surgically strapped around their stomachs to restrict food intake not only lose weight but also suffer less from arthritic knee pain.

India became the first country in the world to run a national tobacco control campaign with the launch of 'Cough' on World No Tobacco Day in 2017.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) relaunched ‘Cough’ — a national mass media campaign to warn citizens about how tobacco use is linked to TB. An announcement to this effect was made during the ‘End TB’ summit recently held in New Delhi.

The ‘Cough’ campaign focuses on raising awareness about how tobacco consumption and exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke increases the risks of TB and TB-related fatalities. A key barrier to timely diagnosis and treatment among smokers is the assumption that a cough is related to their smoking, said experts. The campaign encourages smokers to visit doctors to confirm if persistent cough is a sign of TB.
