Happy New Year - 2022 ; hope to be a Now Happy Year...

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR - 2022...

Yes. The whole world is suffering from Coronavirus and its various mutants. many attempts are being made to control the pandemic but a controlling pandemic is now becoming challenging as the coronaviruses keep on mutating and forming new mutant that is very much resistant to the human body even to the vaccines that had already been developed to control this virus. Many of the countries have now started to face the third wave of the pandemic. 

A new variant of coronavirus i.e. Omicron again spreading rapidly and the expert says its spreadability rate is more than 10 times of the Delta variant and also very much infectious. Initially, it is not showing any danger and gives symptoms just like a very common flu or viral infection but at a sudden, it acts on the breathing system and makes it damages. It has also been said that the people may get infected even after taking full doses of the vaccines, but the effect would be lesser and need not be hospitalized but get cured at home quarantine with the fully followed protocols. 

The viruses now started to attack over more than 100 countries in the world. India is also passing with the risky zone of Omnicron viruses. It has been observed that in the last week, the number of cases is drastically increased. The majority of cases are observed in Delhi and Maharashtra like highly populated cities. Govt of India has taken utmost efforts to control the spreadability of the Omnicron viruses but merely efforts of the Govt. of India would never work until unless we the citizen of India cooperate well with the government. 

I have seen practically even in hospital a doctor, ward boys, and duty nurses either not wearing face masks or wearing improper face masks that mostly cover the chin, not mouth and nose where the maximum entry made by the viruses. The public is also not very much aware and no one taking care of it. The gathering has not been stopped. Today is the end of the year 2021. We have already faced a lot of problems, many families have already been destroyed due to pandemics. The not recoverable loss was seen in thousands of families. 

I personally request to my brother and sisters of the world and India, please we should not give chances to spread this deadly virus, Better to avoid gathering in the happy new year eve. Practically speaking even God also helps us to avoid gathering and that is why most part of the Indian states has got good rains today and still continuing. We have to understand the hints of God and move accordingly. The celebration is good but if we will be alive with health. 

So, please follow all the protocols of the coronaviruses and go outside if really necessary otherwise please stay at home. The good time will come and surely we will enjoy then....

Stay healthy, stay safe...  

Infection with Omicron may act as immunity booster – Expert says…

If a person gets infected with the new variant of corona i.e. Omicron, then he may get developed a fighting capacity 14 times more against corona. And, if a person has taken both doses of corona vaccine means fully vaccinated, then immunity will be double.

As we know that the cases of the new variant 'Omicron' of coronavirus are increasing rapidly all over the world. Researches are being carried out in many countries to cope with the coronavirus and its new variants. Recently, research has conducted by the Africa Health Research Institute on Omicron infected people, and the outcome was very much surprising. According to this, the body of people who have suffered from Omicron infection is more capable of fighting any variant of Covid. In this research trial, 15 vaccinated and unvaccinated people were included, who had been infected with the Omicron variant. 

Research has shown that after an Omicron infection, the body's ability to fight Omicron again increases by 14 times. At the same time, the fighting ability against the deadly Delta variant is increased by about 4.4 times. The immune response of vaccinated people has been seen well as those who did not take the vaccine. 

According to experts, if vaccinated people get Omicron infection, then, their immunity gets an even more boost, so it is very important to be fully vaccinated. Antibodies produced after Omicron infection can even prevent delta reinfection by means of that after having Omicron infection, the person becomes safer from future Covid infection. Although the sample size of this research is quite small, and more research is needed with larger samples, but the findings that have come out so far are interesting. 

As we know that both Omicron and Delta are variants of the coronavirus, both of which are made from different types of mutations. Both mutations have been described by WHO as Variant of Concern. As of now, it seems that the Omicron variant will replace the Delta variant in the coming few days. The main reason for this is that Omicron spreads many times faster than Delta, but data coming from South Africa and other countries suggest that Omicron causes only mild infection and hospitalization is also very low. 

Recent research has shown that if any person gets infected with Omicron, the antibodies produced from his or her body will give more strength to fight the Delta variant. But it is too early to conclude that the COVID pandemic will end with Omicron. A lot of research will be needed before we can reach any final conclusions now. But, how effective the vaccines prepared against Covid so far are for its variants, it is being tracked continuously. According to the current data, it appears that the vaccine against Omicron has not been as much effective as expected. So, it requires more study in this record to conclude but still, hope is there…..  

As per experts, it is very much clear from the data that has come from South Africa, the UK, and European countries that Omicron is not as dangerous as Delta was. This does not mean that people will not die at all from this. The number of deaths will be much less compared to the variants coming before it, Alpha or Delta. 

After the Omicron infection, the body's immunity against the corona will increase and the production of antibodies will increase. Omicron will give a new boost to the body's immune system. A 'defense in depth' mechanism works with B cells and T cells in our body, Let us hope…

Oil massage Or oil application techniques to our body….

Have you ever heard many advertisements for oil massage and massage therapy in newspapers, T.V. even in mobile call spam calls, etc to nice talking and attracting the people as customers for oil massage? 

No one can deny, the oil massage is very good for health as it gives freshness, a stress-free mind, and an energetic environment to the body to perform well. But just applying oil in the body with sweet talk is enough? Some people may say yes. But the majority of people will be saying NO. Why? Because applying oil over the body is a technique and if it is applied correctly then, only it works otherwise it may harm too.  In Ayurvedic terminology, it is called as “Abhyanga Technique”.  Comfortable environment need for both the person who is taking Abhyanga and those who giving Abhyanga. 

It is well said that the Abhyanga should be performed on the floor, then one should feel comfortable squatting or sitting in Sddhasana/ Siddha yoni asana position. After the Abhyanga, both people should feel recharged. 

[Practitioner performing Abhyanga]

It is also to be noted that oil should not be cold when applied to the person’s skin. Or it will shock them preventing relaxation. Also, the practitioner’s hand should not be cold Rubbing the hands together will bring warmth and healing energy. Working the muscles relax and tones them, while working the bones strengthens the skeletal system. Duration is also important in abhyanga, for instance, 6 days to 6-month babies only 15 minutes; Infants (until 3 years) for 15-20 minutes; 03 to 18 years requires 30 - 45 minutes; 18 to 40 years person requires abhyanga for 40 – 45 minutes and 40 + years people need according to their health conditions. For a person with diseases, only 15-20 minutes is enough. 

In Ayurveda, there are four techniques have been suggested for Abhyanga. These re are –

1.   Tapping- It is introduced to inform the body it is about to receive abhyanga. It is increasing circulation and strengthens muscles. Tapping is done with open palms and relaxed fingers. 

2.   Kneading- It is done as if kneading dough. It increases the energy flow, relaxes, removes stress, and rejuvenates the body.

3.   Rubbing- It is best done with oil according to one's doshas. (Only Kapha can have a dry abhyanga). otherwise, dry rubbing creates friction and aggravates Vayu. Gentle rubbing is more relaxing, whereas vigorous rubbing creates passive exercise. Oil rubbed under the joints works the lymph system. Circular motion on specific points (marmas) releases growth hormones. Comfortable pressure will always be applied during abhyanga. Creating a rhythm is another important part of the rubbing technique. 

4.   Squeezing- It is the fourth phase of the abhyanga process. Both hands are used to squeeze all the areas that were rubbed using comfortable pressure. Cross movement (hands slide in the opposite directions) is also employed. Pressing special points (marmas) is also advised. Applying oil to the fingernails is the final stage in this process. Fingers are squeezed one at a time; this ensures that the oil seeps into the cracks between the nails and the cuticle. 

Some practitioners suggest that a healthy person can receive the circular portion of the abhyanga both clockwise and counterclockwise, while the person with an illness can receive only clockwise abhyanga. When the session of abhyanga is completed, it is advised that both practitioner and client lie in the corpse asana pose and rest for some time. After that sadhana (meditation) is recommended. Aum, the Gayatri mantra, personal mantra, or prayer may be used.  

Cautions: Oil application over the body must be done by trained health workers or experienced practitioners or otherwise it may worsen the condition of the health...

Is there any connection of human brain to physical growth and height?

Recently, scientists have come to know the real reason for the delay in the growth of human height and appearance like an adult at young ages. A team of international scientists has discovered the answer to what is the reason for the delay in human growth and appearance like an adult at young ages. 

According to the research, a special type of receptor present in the human brain is responsible for delaying growth as well as look adult appearances at small ages. This receptor controls those hormones in humans that play an important role in body height and sexual maturity. 

To find out the actual causes of the delayed growth or adult in young ages, combined efforts have been made by the scientist of  Cambridge University, Queen Mary University of London, Bristol University, the University of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. 

Researchers say the melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) was found in the hypothalamic neurons part of the brain. This controls the height and sexual maturity. When this receptor does not work properly, then the height of the person does not increase properly and people remain short in height. Also, they are becoming adults late in their age. The team of international researchers involved 5 lakh people in the research. They were examined. The investigation revealed that out of thousands of people who had a change in the MC3R gene, 812 women were also involved. 

According to researcher Sir Stephen O-Rhiley of Cambridge University, the brain determines the height and sexual development of a person based on the nutrients that reach the body and the receptor. The results of the research will prove to be effective for those children in whom the height grows very late. Researchers believe the results of the research will prove beneficial for humans in many ways. This will give hope and in the future, such medicines can be prepared that will help this receptor to work better so that the length of the person does not stop and the person can become young with time. 

According to researchers, the average height of men in the US and UK is 5 feet 9 inches. At the same time, the average height of women in the UK is 5 feet 3 inches. The average height of American women is slightly higher than that of the UK. Here this figure is 5 feet 4 inches. 

Bees also follow social distancing, so we have to learn from insects…

When there is an infection of the parasite in the hive, the bees start making distance from each other to prevent it. Like humans, bees also follow social distancing to avoid infection. When a parasite is infected in the hive, they start making distance from each other. This claim has been made in the research of University College London and Sassari University in Italy. 

[Honey bees on its hive]

Research says, when a parasite named Veroa reaches the hive, the bees start separating from each other. During the research, there was also a decrease in the cases of infection when this happened. According to researcher Dr. Alexandro Cini, the risk of spreading the virus also increases when the Veroa mite reaches the hive. This organism can spread five types of viruses in the hive which can destroy the entire colony of bees. Worldwide, this creature is known to destroy the colony of bees. 

To understand the danger that this creature spreads, the hives of different bees were also compared. Research says bees convince other bees by doing a special kind of dance to tell them where to eat.  To carry out this research, scientists conducted an experiment to find out social distancing in bees. Scientists artificially infected a group of 12 bees. The behavior of these bees was then compared with that of healthy bees. The report revealed that after infection, they start making distance. 

Best model to understand social distancing: In the research, it is observed that the transition starts from the edge of the hive as compared to the middle. Therefore, gradually making social distancing, the bees start going in the middle of the hive to avoid infection. Researcher Michelina Puseddu of Sassari University says, 'The colony of bees is a great example of understanding social distancing. Along with preventing disease, it also brings changes in their behavior.

If you wish to live a long healthy life, then include these things in your daily diet from today onward…

Nowadays everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. People face serious diseases at an early age due to their disturbed routine work style, so, at least we may take a good diet that should not harm our vital organs. The diet should consist mostly of vegetables, fruits and whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins. Along with this, one should stay away from sweet drinks. Instead, make a habit of drinking more and more water. 

As we know that due to poor routine, lack of workout, improper diet, and stress, diseases like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. become common.  Every person should think about healthy and long life and have a happy every day. But, Should we really take care of our body by providing it healthy, normal, and hygienic food and whether we are doing a workout at least 5 days a week for one hour? 

The majority of answers will be NO. Then, how can we think about our good and healthy life? Whether our tongue is under control. Whether our mind not demanding unwanted things to dump inside the stomach and to give torture to other vital organs? The human body needs many vitamins and minerals to function properly. Healthy eating can help you live a long healthy lifestyle, but if you don't eat a well-balanced diet, it can have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. 

Nowadays we do not get the right amount or complete nutrition from the food, we eat every day. That's why there is a need for a diet plan so that you can get all the necessary nutrients. There are some common but useful tips to maintain our health well - 

1. Avoid more consumption of Sugar: Excess calories and blood sugar in the body increase the risk of obesity, cancer, diabetes, dental and liver diseases. Therefore, we should consume sugar in moderation. Apart from this, tea, coffee, chutney, ketchup, cake, cold drinks, etc. should also be consumed in limited quantities. Instead of juice fruits, you should eat fresh fruits. 

2. Consume more fruits and vegetables daily: Your diet should also include a good amount of fresh fruits and vegetables. Beans, peas, green leafy vegetables, and colorful vegetables must be eaten in vegetables. Apart from this, including pulses in the food. Beans are very good for health. They contain fiber, sodium, folates, vitamins, calcium, and other nutrients. Therefore, it is advisable to eat a bowl of beans in the morning. Along with minerals, there is a lot of copper, vitamin B6, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and vitamin K. Beans reduce cholesterol levels. It is a good source for heart patients.

3.  Minimize salt consumption: Sodium is very essential for our health but too much salt is believed to cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. This can lead to a loss of calcium, which can weaken your bones. As you age, the salt content in packaged foods can really take a toll on your health. 

4. Avoid alcoholic drinks: Excessive use of alcohol can cause so much damage to our liver that it is not possible to fix it. The liver performs many important functions such as multiple metabolisms, digestion, and removal of toxins from the body.

New variant spreads 70 times faster in the body than Delta, first attack on respiratory tract- a new research on Omicron….

A surprising research has come about the new variant of Corona, Omicron. Scientists from the University of Hong Kong have revealed that the Omicron variant spreads 70 times faster inside the body than the original form of the corona (SARS-CoV-2) and the delta variant. It reaches the lungs through the bronchi of humans. However, the risk of causing more lung damage from this is less than the previous variants. 

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong performed a study on Omicron patients. Research has found that Omicron attacks the human respiratory tract. This is the way to reach the lungs. Within just 24 hours, Omicron had rapidly multiplied here. It was 70 times faster than the original form of Corona and the Delta variant. 

Research has also shown that the Omicron variant does not cause much damage to the lungs. Its effect on the respiratory system is 10 times less than the other variants. This reduces the risk of getting serious diseases. According to Professor Michael Chan Chi-wai, even though Omicron is not very deadly, the speed of spreading its infection can disturb people. The danger of causing death due to this is not over yet. Michael says it could dodge existing vaccines. 

What are the symptoms of Omicron: Some of the symptoms of the Omicron variant identified in South Africa are similar to the original form of the corona. Patients complain of dry cough, itchy throat, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and fever. Also, the first symptom of Omicron is the absence of a smell and test. 

How to protect ourselves against Omicron: Experts around the world are emphasizing vaccination to fight corona. Even though Omicron is a new variant, the methods to protect against it are old. This includes wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, avoiding crowded places, maintaining good ventilation, and washing hands frequently.

New corona cases increasing in Europe and other parts of the world and outh Africa may get fourth wave -An expert review…

On November 24, the first case of Omicron was found and within 12 days it spread to more than 35 countries. With this, new cases of corona have started gaining momentum all over the world. In places like Europe, America, South Africa, and Russia, Corona has again gained momentum. In the midst of increasing cases, vaccination has been made mandatory for private companies in New York. At the same time, nightclubs have been closed in France. To the date, Omicron variant has spread more than 67 countries. 

Many countries of Europe are troubled by the increasing cases of Corona.  The average of new cases has become the highest in Europe. In the first 6 days of December, 21.62 lakh new cases have been found in Europe. Germany, France, Britain, Poland are among the countries where the maximum number of cases are coming. Corona infection is also found increasing rapidly in France. For the last 3 weeks, more than 32 thousand new cases are coming to France every day. In view of this, it has been decided to close the nightclub here for 4 weeks. Along with this, social distancing and wearing of masks have been made strict for school-going children. It is also being seen in France that a large number of youth are getting infected with Covid-19. 

South Africa is now in fear of the beginning of the fourth wave - There were 106 cases of corona infection in South Africa on 1 November. On December 1, this figure rose to 8,561. That is, in one month it jumped by 80%. On average, more than 10 thousand new cases are coming for the last two weeks. Omicron cases are also increasing 5 times faster in South Africa. Now out of the total tests, the report of every fourth test is coming positive. Till two weeks ago, only 2% of the people were coming positive. The fourth wave of the corona has started due to South Africa Omicron. 

In America, the average of new cases per week has become the highest in two months. On average, more than 1 lakh new cases are coming every day in a week since December 2. Earlier, so many cases were found in the first week of October. The Delta variant is behind most of the new cases in the US, but Omicron has also entered here. Cases of Omicron have been found in many states of America. In view of Christmas, strictness has been increased in America. In New York, the vaccine has been made mandatory for those working in private companies. Different states have issued different guidelines regarding social distancing. The situation in Russia is also worrying due to Corona. Unlike the rest of the countries, in Russia, along with new cases of the corona, deaths are also increasing. Corona cases had gained momentum since the beginning of October. At the beginning of November, the average of new cases had reached around 39 thousand.   Omicron has also entered Russia. 

In India, on December 6, there are 6,822 new cases of the corona were found in the country. It is a matter of relief that this is the lowest number of new cases in the last 558 days. At present, there are 95,014 active cases, which is the lowest in 554 days. So far, more than 20 cases of Omicron have been found in the country. The reason for the increase in cases in America and European countries is believed to be the negligence of the people during the festival season. Recently, it has been seen that millions of people have traveled from one place to another. Even on Christmas, if people behave in the same way, then the cases can increase further. The Delta variant is believed to be the reason behind the cases coming at the moment. Simultaneously, cold has started in America and European countries. Winters are very strong there, due to which people live in a closed environment. There usually flu also spreads more during the winter season. That's why cases are starting to gain momentum there. 

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has said that Omicron's infection rate is very fast and if necessary steps are not taken immediately, then a dangerous third wave can occur. Even though the strictness regarding social distancing has increased, but people are still negligent. People who returned from abroad have disappeared by giving the wrong address and mobile number to the authorities.  If such negligence continues in the country, then cases may increase in India too. At the same time, we also have to keep in mind that wherever cases are increasing, vaccinated people are also getting infections. That is, after taking both doses of the vaccine, you cannot move around without worry. Along with vaccination, it is also necessary to follow the Covid protocol to avoid corona.

Omicron making surprising entry to those persons who have fully vaccinated also - A report...

Research is still going on whether the Covid vaccine will be effective in front of the new variant of the coronavirus, Omicron, while on the other hand, this variant found in two people of Singapore has proved to fail not only with both the doses of the vaccine but also the booster dose. Both people found infected with the Omicron variant in Singapore have received a booster dose of the Covid vaccine. 

Despite this, due to their being infected with Omicron, questions are now being raised about the ability of booster doses to give protection against the virus. The first case of Omicron found in Singapore is of a 24-year-old woman who works in the passenger service at the airport. This woman has been found to be Omicron positive in the initial test. Singapore's health ministry said this was Omicron's first local case in the city. The second case is of foreign infection. The person found infected in this had returned from Germany on 6 December and it is believed that he may have been hit by Omicron in Germany itself. he had also received a booster dose. 

According to the Singapore ministry, both the infected persons are recovering at the National Center for Infectious Diseases. All his contacts will be quarantined for 10 days. The ministry says – In view of the speed of the spread of the Omicron virus, we are assuming that many other cases related to Omicron can also be found on the border of the country and among our community.

Vaccine maker Pfizer-BioNTech earlier this week claimed the third dose of the vaccine, i.e. the booster dose, was able to kill the Omicron variant. The company made this claim on the basis of preliminary lab results of ongoing research into the effect of the vaccine on the Omicron variant, but cases found in Singapore have raised questions about these claims. Omicron or researchers should have looked forward new scope in this regard. 

Let us see but please follow protocol made earlier for Covid – 19 till the new arrival of solution for the Omicron. 

Stay healthy, stay safe… 

 

Omicron never taken lightly as it affect on person who had already fully vaccinated….

It has been come to know that the South African President Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa became corona positive on Sunday, however, he had taken both doses of the vaccine. The President's Office informed that he is undergoing treatment for mild symptoms. He will remain in self-isolation till he recovers. Until then, the responsibility of the President will be carried out by Vice President Mr. David Mabuza. Mr. Ramaphosa's felt sick after returning from an event in Cape Town, after which he has been kept under the supervision of doctors. Last month, the Omicron variant was first detected in South Africa. The whole world was shocked after the news of this variant being more contagious. 

Considering its seriousness, the UK raises virus alert levels as the Omicron cases are increasing in Britain, due to which the alert level of Corona has been increased from 3 to 4. This information has been given by the British Chief Medical Officers. In their statement, officials said the exposure of the Omicron variant poses a greater threat to the public and healthcare services. According to medical officials, preliminary results suggest that Omicron is spreading more rapidly than Delta and that the vaccine is unable to stop it. In such a situation, people should wear masks, get regular corona tests done, and stay in isolation if they show symptoms. 

The World Health Organization had also stated on Sunday that Omicron is more contagious than the delta variant of the coronavirus, and spreads rapidly. It also reduces the effectiveness of the vaccine. However, according to the initial data, its symptoms are not much visible to the patient. The delta variant of the corona is responsible for the new variant of the corona that has surfaced around the world. The WHO said that as of December 9, Omicron had spread to 63 countries. 

In India, 38 cases of Omicron have been reported.  On Sunday, 5 new cases were found in 5 states. The first case of Omicron was reported in Kochi, Kerala. Kerala Health Minister Veena George told that the infected person had returned to Kochi from the UK on 6 December. He was found positive in the Covid test conducted on 8 December. At the same time, the report of his wife and mother has come positive. All have been shifted to the isolation ward. Passengers sitting near the infected person in the plane have also been informed about this. At the same time, today the first case of Omicron has been confirmed in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and the third case in Karnataka. New Omicron infections have also been identified in Chandigarh and Andhra Pradesh. 

When it has been seen that the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly than the earlier detected variants of Covid-19 but there is a piece of relaxing news also creating hope in our mind that the new variant is unable to attack those persons who have taken precautionary measures such as wearing a proper mask, sanitizing their hands regularly and washing hand with soap at least 20 seconds on the regular interval of every 2 hours. The maintaining social distancing also works as a boon in the coming variant, so, please follow the protocol which was given for coronaviruses earlier until new medicines or vaccines or new protocol is announced.

A treding therapy for reducing stress and depression- Cow-minication - A specific report....

The cow has great importance in the life of human beings especially in India where cows have been worshiped as Mother and Hindus called her Go - Mata. In India, it has not only been treated as domestic animals but also has recognition as family members due to much-proven importance. Even in Hindu houses from dusk to dawn, cow and calves both have a great significant role along with regular and routine work. The male cow i.e. bull work in farming whereas cows are taken care of at home for their milk and other dairy products; I mean to say that in India, the importance of the cow has been known from ancient times. 

[Cow Cuddling Therapy]

It has been told that 33 types of God and Goddess have their dwelling places in the cow's body itself. So, worshiping a cow is equivalent to worshiping the entire Devi and devatas (Goddess and God).

In Western countries, the cow has been known for its milk and other dairy products including meat but In India, killing cows is illegal and a big offense because of their importance and recognition as Mother. But it has been seen that the other western countries are now recognizing the significances of the cows. Recently, it has been observed by the researchers that the cuddling or rubbing back of the cow is the best solution in Covid -19 pandemic as the cow has strong immunity and corona-like viruses can't harm the cow.

It has also been observed that Cow-cuddling is found as the best therapy to get rid of stress and depression-like life-threatening mental diseases. Nowadays a trending therapy for reducing stress and depression is on the peak in which a person has to go to Cow-shed or farmhouse to hug the cow or rub the back of the cow for that a cow owner has been paid a beautiful amount. 

It has been proved that hugging the cow reduces stress and depression. Scientists say that hugging to cow is better than meditation because it has a similar effect as we do for the medication. The reason behind that the cow's heart rate is slower than the human beings but the body temperature is more. When we do the medication, our heart rate is slowing and our body is warming and relaxing. In the case of the cow due to some emotional point of view, the hugging of the cows becomes more effective than the meditation done to reduce stress and depression.

In America, many dairy farm owners now provide cow-cuddling services and for that, they have been paid. It is told that for sadness, stress, and anxiety, the people are paying approximately Rs. 22000/- for the 90 minutes of cow-cuddling therapy. In Switzerland and Netherland the cow-cuddling fee is Rs. 3000/- for three hours and this cow-cuddling has been given a special name that is called Cow-Munication. 

As we know that if we put our head in our mother's lap, we are getting relaxed, the same feeling has been observed with cow-cuddling. In India Cow has been called Mother or Go Mata but the day is not far from now when the cow will be recommended as Jagat Mata (Mother of Universe).

UK Health Agency claims - Booster dose up to 75% effective against mild symptoms of Omicron….

Continuous and progressive research is being carried out all over the world to cope with situations along with Omicron, a new and deadly variant of Covid-19. At the same time, Britain's Health Protection Agency has claimed that a booster dose of Corona is 70 to 75% effective in eliminating mild symptoms of Omicron. 

According to the agency, this information has come to the fore in the initial study regarding the vaccine. Whose data show that a booster dose of the vaccine works up to 75% in mild patients suffering from the new variant. Scientists have recently done this research on 581 people affected by Omicron due to booster doses of AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech. 

Scientists say that the effect of the booster dose on Omicron patients was much less compared to the delta variant. The efficacy of the vaccine was found to be up to 90% in the delta variant. Although this is preliminary information, it is best that people who are eligible for a booster dose should get the vaccine. It has been revealed in the data that to some extent the booster dose reduces the risk of the new variant significantly.

A great success for Indian scientists, made Omicron identification kit within two hours…

As we know that the Omicron has created fear for the coming days due to its multiple spreadabilities and it has been told that this variant has 7 times more spreadability than the delta variant of Covid -19. All over the world scientists are continuously searching for the antidotes of this deadly variant in the meantime Indian scientists have achieved great success in identifying the Omicron variant of Corona that is spreading rapidly across the world. 

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has prepared a COVID test kit in Dibrugarh, Assam. The new Omicron variant can be detected in just two hours with this kit. In view of the increasing cases of Omicron in many states of the country, this kit will prove to be very important. 

Research is continuing to cope with the omicron variant in the coming days at the same time experts warn that the UK may face an Omicron wave in January next year. Experts have issued a new warning about Omicron in the UK. It is said that Britain could face a major Omicron wave from January next year if public gatherings are not banned. According to the model from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LHSTM), the number of corona patients hospitalized due to Omicron infection may also increase. 

In India, experts told that we should not be relaxed to watching the effect of omicron but we should be alert and all the possible attempts to be made to cope with omicron variant of Covid-19 and considering this the speed of vaccination have been made fast and till now 133 crores people have been vaccinated even today itself 81 lakh vaccine doses were applied. 

Along with the vaccination, the Center gave instructions to states with high positivity rates; and said to implement strict rules including night curfew. Union Health Secretary Mr. Rajesh Bhushan has issued notice to those states and union territories where the corona positivity rate has been reported higher in the last two weeks. 

It is written in this notice that a night curfew should be imposed in the areas identified in the case of Corona. Also, there should be a ban on the gathering of more people and fewer people should be allowed to come for the ceremony like weddings and funerals.

Soup prepared from coarse cereals and colorful vegetables will keep the body warm in winter and increase immunity.....

Winters is now at its peak. It is expected more cool weather in the coming months December, January, and February. In such a situation, warming our body in a natural way is more important because our body is our real-life partner. No doubt at all. If our partner falls sick and not supporting us, then think about what would be the response of your daily routine work. Better to take care of our body and make it healthy and well maintained.

As we know that the winter season is also considered the best for food because our body burns more calories. This is the reason that the risk of becoming obese in winter is less than in other seasons. In winter we can increase the quantity of food a little and include coarse grains in the diet. 

Digestion gets better during this season and coarse grains help in keeping the body warm. What should be the food in winter that keeps your body warm, increases its ability to fight diseases, and also fulfills the deficiency of nutrients,  it includes maize, jawar, bajra, and ragi in the diet from the beginning of winter.

Eating different types of dishes prepared from them is a better option. For example, porridge, roti, or dosa. The dish prepared from them helps in controlling weight and keeping the body warm. Provided that ghee is not used much in these. Experts say many types of vegetables are easily available in this season. You can make soup and drink it. Soups fulfill the lack of water and nutrients in the body. A little black pepper powder can be added to this. The antioxidants present in the mixed vegetable soup also increase the ability to fight diseases. 

Green vegetables like fenugreek, spinach, mustard, bathua are available in this season. They are rich in nutrients like vitamins A, E, K, folic acid, iron, potassium, and calcium. At least one out of every two meals that are, for lunch or dinner, they must be taken in some form or the other. Along with controlling weight, it removes phlegm. Which often happens in the winter season. All three can be eaten together or separately. They are not only hot in effect, but they are also good sources of iron which is essential for us in winters. 

One of the major problems of winter is the dryness of the skin. With regular consumption of sesame and peanuts, the skin remains shiny and soft. These days, jaggery should be used instead of sugar in things like tea or carrot pudding. It's not like this. 

Apart from that our body needs a certain amount of water to function optimally. Therefore, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water daily. Lack of water can have a bad effect on your digestive system.

If you want to keep your heart healthy, eat dark fruits and vegetables, give preference to whole grains.....

Nowadays everybody has self-consciousness about their health. New research and practical practices also give us updates to maintain our health well. recently, new guidelines from the American Heart Association have been issued. the main points of these guidelines are if we wish to keep our heart healthy, have to eat dark fruits and vegetables, give preference to whole grains, and avoid oils like palm, and do workouts. Eating well for heart health doesn't necessarily mean staying away from burgers, french fries, or cold drinks. But it has to be kept in mind that these things should not be included in the regular diet. This is to say of Dr. Robert Eckel, former head of the American Heart Association.  

Lead author Dr. Alice H. Liechtenstein said that instead of pressurizing people with admonitions like 'don't eat, we have tried to promote such eating patterns, which keep the heart-healthy. These habits that will help in making the right eating pattern, will also reduce the risk related to the heart. if we do a minimum of 150 minutes of workout in a week, we may reduce heart-related risks by keeping the weight balanced throughout life. A workout of 150 minutes a week keeps the energy balance right too. Energy needs decrease by 70-100 calories for every decade of age. Therefore, regular tracking of diet is necessary. 

Eat dark-colored fruits and vegetables - Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, they will get more phytochemicals. These are helpful in preventing serious life-threatening diseases. Necessary nutrients are more in dark-colored fruits and vegetables in comparison to the lighter ones. Eating whole fruits and vegetables instead of juice will get more fiber. 

Use whole grains instead of refined - The nutrients in refined grains are removed. Therefore, give preference to food made from whole grains. Whole grains have three layers of bran, endosperm, and inner seed. Hence, they are rich in nutrients and fibres. It has been proved in many studies that eating whole grains helps in the control of heart risk factors. 

Choose Healthy Sources of Protein- To meet the protein requirement, eat legumes, nuts such as soybeans, pulses, chickpeas, and peas. These are good sources of fiber as well as protein. Choose dairy products to low fat or fat-free if you fond of to eat. These will help prevent weight gain and obesity. 

Eat less oil like coconut/palm - Experts believe that oils with polyunsaturated fats are better. These include soybean, corn, sunflower, and linseed oil. These reduce cardiovascular risk by up to 30%. Whereas, tropical oils such as coconut and palm oil increase both HDL and LDL cholesterol. Therefore, it should be avoided to include them in food. 

Avoid added sugar/salt- Avoid items and drinks that contain added sugar. This increases the risk of diabetes and heart diseases. Salt (sodium chloride) has a direct relationship with blood pressure. Its low consumption helps in controlling blood pressure. Apart from this, experts believe that doctors must talk to patients for five minutes about the number of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains they eat. Or how much do they know about their benefits.

World scared about the current vaccines on Omicron why? an expert reviews....

The potential for rapid mutation of the new variant of the Covid-19 virus, Omicron, has alarmed the whole world. This new variant is being said to be more dangerous than Delta, which devastated the whole world a few months ago because so far 50 mutations have occurred in Omicron. Due to Omicron's ability to mutate very rapidly, the question is also being raised whether the current corona vaccine will be effective on this new variant? 

Meanwhile, British company Moderna has said that the current vaccine is likely to be less effective against Omicron. Why might existing vaccines be ineffective on Omicron? Omicron is said to be the fastest mutation virus ever. WHO has placed it in the category of “Variant of Concern”. There have been 33 mutations in its spike protein itself. 

Actually, it is through the spike protein that the virus opens the way to enter human cells. The vaccine prepares the body to fight against it by producing antibodies against the spike protein itself. More mutations in Omicron's spike protein have raised concerns about how effective current vaccines will be against it? The current vaccine has been designed according to the original coronavirus strain that surfaced in Wuhan, China, while Omicron's strain is completely different from it. This is the reason why this new variant of the existing vaccine is expected to have little or no effect.  

British company Moderna has said that the current vaccine against Omicron is expected to be less effective, amid discussions about the ineffectiveness of the vaccine against Corona's new variant Omicron. Moderna CEO Stephen Bensel told the Financial Times that current vaccines may be less effective against Omicron than earlier strains of the corona. Bensal also warned that it could take months for pharmaceutical companies to manufacture large-scale vaccine doses against the new variant. Omicron's potential for sharp mutations in the spike protein may require pharma companies to modify existing vaccines next year, he said. 

Amidst the discussion on Omicron about the less effective or completely ineffectiveness of the existing vaccine, talk of bringing a new vaccine for it has started. British company Moderna has said that if needed, the vaccine of this new variant can come in the early months of 2022. Moderna has already made an mRNA vaccine of Corona. Moderna's chief medical officer, Paul Burton, has said his company could launch an mRNA vaccine to combat Omicron early next year if needed. At the same time, Pfizer, another company that makes the corona vaccine, has said that if needed, it can make a new vaccine against Omicron in six weeks and make its initial dose available within 100 days. 

The World Health Organization (WHO) has so far approved the use of a total of eight corona vaccines worldwide. These eight vaccines currently being used for corona can be divided into three categories. One is the messenger RNA vaccine, the other is the viral vector vaccine and the third is the inactivated vaccine. The way these vaccines are made and work are different.  

Messenger RNA (mRNA) Vaccines: These vaccines contain messenger RNA (mRNA) codes, which go into the body to make a version of the coronavirus protein. After vaccination, your immune cells begin to make fragments of the spike protein, and your body starts making antibodies. If you are later infected with the COVID-19 virus, these antibodies help fight against the virus. 

Viral vector vaccine: This is a carrier vaccine, in which a non-harmful adenovirus is genetically engineered as a viral vector. When this virus reaches our cells, it instructs them to make copies of this spike protein. As spike proteins build up on the surfaces of your cells, your immune system responds by making antibodies and defensive white cells. When infected with the coronavirus, these antibodies are used to fight the virus. 

Inactivated Vaccine: A dead or inactivated virus is used in this. This inactivated virus can neither multiply nor make you sick. Through this vaccine, an immune response is prepared in the body similar to a natural infection.

Omicron enters in India, seeking immediate attention....

As we know that the Omicron has spread to more than 38 countries and its spreading is still continuing rapidly. The transmission of viruses is not an automatic process. We are working as a vector for it. It is very much required to pay immediate attention to review our hospital facilities and other facilities related to health. 

We should not forget that Covid-19 also entered India🇮🇳 very silently two years ago. At that time, no one was aware and we never expected such human life damage when more than lakhs lives was gone. No ventilator, no oxygen, no bed in the hospital was available at that time. 

In the case of Omicron, some expert says, its spreading capacity is too fast to control but not very much severe. Among the other scientists told, it is very dangerous and even the effect of vaccines may fail. 

This type of confusion, we have seen in the COVID-19 pandemic that time also, we were thinking nothing is going to wrong with us and we Indian have good immune. So we will win but what was the outcome of the pandemic is need not to explain. 

Again, in this case, also, we are waiting for a troublesome period why? 

Some precautions at least in our hands✋✋. Why we should not use it? Why we are not able to control our mood to go to the restaurant, avoid rush avoid to go to the beauty parlor, etc... Is it important than our precious life? I Hope, your answer would be NO. 

So, better to stop gathering, wear a mask properly, sanitize your hands at regular intervals. Take all precautions that we have taken in COVID-19 time. 

Because research will take time and such precautions may help our scientists to do research on Omicron effectively. 

Stay healthy, stay safe...
