Are Diabetes and Hypertension overrated?

A man aged 45 was taken to the hospital. The reason was just fall down due to vertigo. It wasn't his first time. Seldom such events were found in the history. The reason could be any serious thing but actually it was pretty simple. He was on antidiabetic medicines for last 6 months. The medicine was started just after two readings of fingertip sugar within 3 days on different time frame after and before lunch. Was it enough data to diagnose a giant one? Actually the diabetic readings were just temporary. Medications worked wrong for him and hypoglycemic shock was the reason of his fainting. Just some sugar cubes or a chocolate could be the treatment of that time for the conscious patient otherwise you just had to drip in plain dextrose infusion. World is suffering from non communicable diseases (NCD) widely. Lifestyle is the key substance behind this ' NCDemic '. Cancer, hyper or hypothyrodism, obesity, hypertension, diabetes etc are the well-known players of this team. Bu...

Safe motherhood and its challenges

The best feeling of the world only a woman can describe is motherhood. Everything changes suddenly after a new life in the lap.  All the priorities come behind that little miracle. It looks very pretty and interesting but wait this motherhood pays a lot in terms of a woman's life. Every year on April 11 we celebrate National Safe Motherhood Day on Smt. Kasturba Gandhi's birthday.  This day is the occasion to think over motherhood and its challenges. Pregnancy is a precious gift but at the same time there is always a risk for the mother. All the women go through this challenge to welcome the new life. To raise the awareness about prenatal, childbirth and postnatal services this day is a symbolic presentation to maintain healthy motherhood throughout the year. During pregnancy and post pregnancy the most common mistakes done by Indians are improper diet plan. They don't take it seriously and that's why there is abundance of cases we can see of anemia. Anemia isn't jus...

Are you addicted to social media?

Orkut was the first toy of mine to be thrilled by interacting someone around or anonymous. I set an account on it and started searching my schoolmates. That was the amazing experience. But after that everyday atleast twice or thrice I used to log in the orkut just to see the new notifications from my friends. Sometimes I sent messages to the friends and their answers were awaiting for days, I felt uncomfortable and then I realised myself neglected. Fortunately within a year orkut passed away and an era of facebook began. The same curiosity and time was spent on facebook for somedays and afterthat it seemed uninteresting. So I took a long break of almost several months from facebook. And now I am active on facebook today. Ok. You are bored of reading all this stuff which is actually same for most of us. Especially 90s kids are the first generation who entered in this social media network in their college life. But now it's not simple as it was. The things are being tough day by day....

Are you Covid stigma positive?

Recently 19 year old girl was thrown out of the bus in UP after the passengers in bus supposed her Covid19 positive by symptoms. Though she wasn't tested positive yet, the driver and the conductor stopped the bus and pulled her out on the midway. Her mother pleaded a lot to them but they weren't convinced. Just after 30 minutes the girl died on the road. Postmortem report stated it 'cardiac arrest' and dead person was not tested for Covid19 as per policy.  Here the question is not either she was Covid19 positive or negetive, but the way she was humiliated by the passengers is the big issue rising day by day. The people on bus shouldn't do so even if she was Covid19 positive. The things happening all around after this pandemic put us on the edge of the bay. Misconceptions are emerging as a big enemy after this pandemic. Even WHO is also serious on this matter and trying to stop this infodemic.

Vegetarianism: an endless debate

The most longest debate on the earth is what should one eat? Either be Nonvegetarian or be Vegetarian? Ohh, leave it. It's old one. Now one new word has been coined from the type of diet we encounter and that is vegan. Now the debate is going more complex. Diet type is totally a multi segment question which may touch your locality, your religion, your spirituality, even sometimes humanity but the most necessary part of the diet type is our body requirements or health necessities. We always enjoy our food as an entertainment rather than a health supplement. That's why we are networking ourselves into baseless points instead of a scientific approach. We can see the community vise  difference in diet. All the sources are consumed by the human and that makes the homo sapiens a wildest animal of the earth. Most of people in India are flexitarians. It means they eat anything which is eatable. They are not fixed in their diet. Sometimes they eat grains and somethimes they...
