Health Ministry on ill effects of mobile

Featured article : Techreef

In the first of its kind in the history of Indian science and medicine, the health minister A Ramadoss has ordered a test. In a recent study at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), rats were subjected to radiation from mobile phones. They were found to have damaged DNA and a very low sperm count. This were leading reduction in size of testis and infertility. The Union health ministry now wants to find out whether cellphones could have same adverse effects on our health. A study earlier had found out that if cell phones are kept in the pockets of your pants, the infertility levels could be higher. The excessive growth of telecom in India is prompting the medicine industry to investigate into such matters and whether in long term, they could affect the health of people.
This 5 yr study will be conducted by JNU’s School of Environmental Sciences and AIIMS ( neurology, obstetrics and gynaecology,biochemistry)

Vitamins and Water Heal

A vitamin is an organic compound, which is required as a nutrient in tiny amounts by an organism. They are classified by their biological activity and have diverse biochemical functions. Earlier vitamins were obtained solely through the daily food intake. The changes in in diet could occur during a particular growing season and can alter the types and amounts of vitamins ingested. Human bodies do not store vitamins and hence it is very essential for a person to have a regular intake of vitamins. The Well-known human vitamin deficiencies involve thiamine (beriberi), niacin (pellagra), vitamin C (scurvy) and vitamin D (rickets). These deficiencies are not found in a developed world as there is adequate supply of food. In large doses, some vitamins have documented side effects that tend to be more severe with a larger dosage.

There has been quite an advancement in the recent medicinal facilities. Medical centers in PA have also been quite advanced. Another healing technique, which has been emerging is the concept of water heal. It has been for quite sometime now and has been known to produce very good results. Many people are now moving towards water healing as it is becoming popular due its very basic nature. Water is found in abundance and this basic entity, which keeps us alive heals the body and flushes the diseases without the use of toxic medicines that also produce side-effects.

BIRD FLU FACTS

What is bird flu?
Bird flu, or avian influenza, is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. Bird flu epidemics have occurred worldwide. The recent spread of bird flu has been localised to certain parts of Asia.
Migratory waterfowl – most notably wild ducks – are the natural reservoir of bird flu viruses. It is suspected that infection can spread from wild fowl to domestic poultry, including chickens and turkeys, and then to humans. Live bird markets have also played an important role in the spread of epidemics.The type currently causing concern is the “highly pathogenic” Asian strain of the H5N1 virus. Scientists have discovered four different subtypes of H5N1, and there could well be more. However, all are deadly to birds, and can cause disease – and death – in humans. However, it is important to note that H5N1 is overwhelmingly a disease that affects birds – and not humans.
It is true that humans have been infected, but almost all have been poultry workers who have come into intimate contact with birds. H5N1 cannot pass easily from human to human.
How do humans get bird flu?
Bird flu was thought only to infect birds until the first human cases

Tea Time: Narendra Modi needs to visit a dentist

This picture shows the bad teeth of Narendra Modi. He needs to visit a dentist ASAP. Why do our politicians ignore their health, when health is the most important wealth ? Anyways he is doing a good job and like all the other problems he has fixed, I hope he fixes this problem too, provided somebody around him goes and tells him, or has the guts to do so.

HYGIENE

Hygiene is the most important thing and to stay healthy we need hygienic surroundings. It has come to my notice that our government has not taken proper measures and strict actions to implement the health and hygiene policies to keep our surroundings clean. They have just made plans, allocated resources but have not implemented them properly. For instance the local area garbage bin is not properly maintained and the garbage spills out of it bringing a foul smell to the area. The spilling out of garbage to the road not only gives it a bad view but also is disastrous, when seen in terms of health and hygiene. How are your surroundings. Has the municipal corporation taken good care or has it been left to rot?
