Omicron may leads third wave of Corona and push the world two year back - Says expert.....

Cases from Omicron first of all reported from Netherland and then South Africa and it was reported that it is very dangerous than delta virus. Spreadability is more because of continuos mutation in its spike protein. To date, omicron has spread in 35 countries and if the traveling is not stopped on immediate effects, then, within the week,   it is expected to spread to more than 400 countries. 

Til today 400 cases of omicron variant have been reported throughout the world.  Expert says that if the third wave has come in an effective way, it may push the world two years back. In India, some cases have been reported with omicron variants and some cases are under testing. In Karnataka, 2 cases of omicron have been confirmed. Likewise, 01 cases from Kerala, 10 cases from Bikaner, Rajasthan, 09 cases from Jaipur, Rajasthan, and 12 cases from Delhi have been reported. The sample has been taken from the infected patients and sent for genome sequencing.  

It is said that about 50 mutations have been seen in the omicron variant. among all mutations, 32 mutations have been reported in its spike protein itself. There is a very sensitive matter of thinking is that all the vaccines made for coronaviruses is mostly working to destroy the spike or make inactive the spike of coronaviruses by which it adheres in the body of human being but due to abnormal mutations in omicron variant, it is told that might it will leave the vaccine protection behind its infection and the person is also vulnerable who has already taken both the doses of the vaccines. The scientist is under stress because mRNA and Vector-based vaccines work on virus spikes and our body immune system respond to kill or paralyze virus's spike once it enters our body because virus using spike protein just like an adhering organ to the cell of the human body at that stage our immune system will start working against the viruses and safe our body. 

Now the problem is that when the structure of the spike protein had been mutated then what would be the efficacy of the protein.  A senior citizen of Jamnagar, Gujrat found confirmed positive with omicron variant. He had come back to India from Zimbabwe.  Now the world moving towards lockdown. South Africa has declared the first level of lockdown. 

Doctors told that omicron is spreading very fast and have common symptoms like other viral fever. The main symptoms are muscle pain, sour throat, dry cough, tiredness, headache and mild fever observed. Expert says we may escape from the infection up to an extent if we are fully vaccinated, avoid the rush, follow social distancing, wear a proper mask, sanitize our hand properly, avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth, and ears and avoid going outside until not urgent. If necessary to go outside,  go with full protection following all the protocols that were earlier followed. 

However, in this puzzling situation, there is good news too. A GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) statement said that lab tests and a study on hamsters have demonstrated the sotrovimab antibody cocktail to work against viruses that were bio-engineered to carry a number of hallmark mutations of the Omicron variant. In a major boost to the treatment against fast-spreading and heavily mutated new coronavirus variant Omicron, GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) today said clinical data from tests indicate antibody-drug works against the variant.GSK, which is developing the Covid-19 antibody-based therapy with US partner Vir, said "Preclinical data demonstrate sotrovimab, authorized in multiple countries around the world, retains activity against all tested variants of concern, including key mutations of Omicron. Sotrovimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody that retains activity against key mutations of the new Omicron variant, including those found in the binding site of sotrovimab. These data were generated through pseudo-virus testing of specific individual mutations found in Omicron. 

To date, sotrovimab has demonstrated ongoing activity against all tested variants of concern and interest defined by the World Health Organization (WHO)," a GSK statement said. The tests are continuing to confirm the results against all of the Omicron mutations, with an update expected by the end of the year. The antibody is designed to latch on to the spike protein on the surface of the coronavirus, but Omicron has been found to have an unusually high amount of mutations on that protein.  Sotrovimab was deliberately designed with a mutating virus in mind,  said Vir Chief Executive George Scangos, adding that the drug was targeting a region of the spike protein that was highly unlikely to mutate. In Britain, this drug has been approved on Thursday by another brand name "Xevudy", for people with mild to moderate Covid-19 and who are at high risk of developing severe disease. Sotrovimab, sold under the brand name Xevudy, is an investigational human neutralizing dual-action monoclonal antibody with activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, known as SARS-CoV-2.   

Sotrovimab is based on monoclonal antibodies, which are lab-made versions of the natural antibodies the body generates to fight off an infection. Similar products are offered or being developed by Eli Lilly, Regeneron, and AstraZeneca.

Deafness, hearing voices and dizziness have been confirmed in corona patients....

The coronavirus can also make a person deaf after infecting them. New research has revealed that this virus can also infect the inner part of the ear. Ear problems were seen in 10 patients infected with Covid. This claim has been made by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. 

Research has claimed that the corona can infect such cells of the ear that work for human hearing and balance the body. Researchers Dr. Konstantina Stantovic and Dr. Lee Gherke say that there are many viruses, including cytomegalic, mumps, and hepatitis, whose infection causes cases of deafness in humans. Why these viruses cause deafness is not yet understood. 

To understand this, both the scientists were doing research on inner ear infections even before the corona epidemic. For this, he also prepared a model of it. 

In early 2020, researchers came across cases in which patients had hearing loss, tinnitus (sound in the ears), and dizziness after a corona infection. Dr. Konstantina Stantovic says it was not understood why cases of deafness and tinnitus are common in corona patients. 

After such cases came to light, they changed their plan and started research to understand the connection between corona and ear. Scientists say, to understand the connection between the corona and the ear, an ear model was made from human skin itself. These contained all the cells that are in the human ear. Many new things emerged from this. 

Researchers say that 10 patients of Covid suffering from ear problems were examined. Of these, 9 were battling tinnitus. 6 also complained of dizziness. 

Apart from this, the hearing ability of all 10 patients also decreased.

Omicron Variant: Omicron has more panic, less danger, says expert…

After facing the global pandemic of Covid -19, people are still under stress and many efforts made to bring regular life in normal mode. Now another variant of Covid-19 mutant named B.1.1.529 has knocked on the door to disturb routine life and made its presence in more than 16 countries. 

It has been said that it is very much spreadable and has the potency of spreading 7 times more than the Delta variant. But along with this, there has also been relief news. A South African doctor says a patient infected with the variant has very mild symptoms and can be treated at home. 

Dr. Angelique Coetzee, president of the South African Medical Association, said that 7 patients had come to her clinic whose symptoms were different from the Delta variant and were 'extremely mild'. He told that on November 18, patients had come to him who had complaints like body ache and headache. Its symptoms were similar to normal viral fever. So, we did the test in which its report came positive. On the same day, some more patients came to him with the same symptoms. Since then, 2 to 3 patients with similar symptoms are coming to him. 

Dr. Coetzee is the same doctor who first identified the Omicron variant. He said that the patients who are coming now have very mild symptoms and they do not need to be hospitalized. Such patients can be treated at home. They also reported that, unlike the Delta variant, the Omicron-infected patient neither smelled nor tested positive nor did his oxygen level drop.

So, don't be panic but take utmost precautions as taken in the time of Covid-19.

How to protect oursleves from new varient of Covid-19 (Omicron)......a new study report...

A new variant of Covid -19, B.1.1.529 is named Omicron. It is a dangerous mutant of the  Coronaviruses and has 7 times more spreadability than the delta virus.  It is more asymptomatic due to less diagnosed symptoms just like light fever and tiredness. There is no loss of smelling power and hunger etc. It seems very common flue but shown fast effect than the past many variants. However, many experts say that it has no major health hazard especially for those who have been fully vaccinated. 

India has prepared a list for high alert countries, the screening will be done very strictly to the passenger who will come from that countries. An abnormal mutation has been observed in the Omicron virus. Till date, it has spread to 16 countries. It includes African countries, Europe, Canada,  Australia, Hongkong, Israel, Netherland, Switzerland, Italy, Botswana, etc. It has been reported that it spread very fast and will take less time in spreading than the Delta virus. 

The mutation in viruses is a natural phenomenon and the protein spikes that consist of RNA keep on changing resulting formation of new strains or mutants. WHO has considered it as a Variant of Concern (VOC). Not only this but also WHO has kept the five variants in the list of Variant of Concern. These are alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron. The alpha variant has been first of all seen in the United Kingdom on 18 December, 2020; Beta variant in South Africa on 18 December, 2020; Gamma has been seen in Brazil on 11 January, 2021; Delta had been reported from India on 11th May, 2021 and Omicron is from many countries from 26 November, 2021.  

However, more information is not available for the Omicron variant. Research is still going on. The scientist has told, it is very dangerous but still, they don't know how many percent of people need hospitalization or which age group of people will be more affected due to this variant. The information of the new variant is dependent upon genome sequencing. As much as genome sequencing is done,  the variant of the new virus will be exposed. Till today, omicron has attained 32 mutants.

India has made new guidelines for the new arrival of passengers from other countries and that guideline will be implemented from the 1st December 2021. In this guideline, the arriving people will take the RT-PCR test at the airport itself that also with their own expenditure and have to stay at the airport till the report comes. If the report comes as negative even though they have to follow 7+7 quarantine formulae. This means they have to stay at the airport for 7 days and after they get a negative report again they have to stay at home for more than 7 days.  At intervals of 7 days, the patient is to take again the RT-PCR test for the negative result. So, the total days of quarantine will be 14 days. If any person is found positive at the airport then, the sample of those people would be sent for genome sequencing so that it would be known that which type of variant affecting to the person. 

The contact tracing will be necessary for such a patient and for that three rows of the front and back passenger would have to cross from the RT-PCR test and cabin crew members should also be checked for corona test. A person who wishes to travel via airport has to show their negative report and RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours. the passenger who comes from ships also follows the same protocols. 

Some study shows that the new variant of this omicron virus can break vaccinated immunity too. Dr. Ranveer Guleria, Director AIIMS has told that the changes observe in the virus's spike protein. Scientists from South Africa told that this variant is more infectious but not dangerous like other variants already come last year.

Corona's new variant Omicron stirred up the world…..

After cases of Omicron, a new form of Covid-19 were reported in many other countries of the world, many governments have taken steps like closing the borders of their respective countries, while scientists say that it is not yet clear that this form of the virus Whether or not it is more dangerous than the forms that came before. According to reports, cases of Omicron have been reported in 15 countries of the world.

How dangerous is the Omicron variant? WHO gave information, told the preventive measures--

The new form was identified a few days ago by researchers in South Africa and so far no information is available on whether it is more contagious or makes a patient seriously ill or negates the effect of its vaccine, but many countries have taken precautionary measures. Steps have been taken because already more than 5 million people have died worldwide due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Israel has decided to ban the entry of foreigners. Morocco said it would suspend all incoming flights from Monday for the next two weeks. Scientists from many places from Hong Kong to Europe and North America have identified the presence of this form.13 cases have been reported from Omicron in the Netherlands. After this, two cases each were reported from Canada and Australia. The World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested not closing the borders, in view of the limited impact of measures such as border closures and new cases in many countries. 

Dr Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the US, has emphasized that there is currently no information available that Omicron is more dangerous than earlier forms of Covid-19. Collins told the CNN channel that he thinks it is more contagious, given the rapid spread of cases in various districts of South Africa, but it is not yet known whether it is as dangerous as the delta form of the virus. 

Japanese Prime Minister said on Monday that Japan is considering measures to increase border controls. He told reporters that he plans to announce new measures for travelers arriving from South Africa and eight other nearby countries in addition to mandatory 10 days of quarantine. Japan still has banned tourists from any other country from coming here. 

The US plans to impose travel restrictions on South Africa and seven other South African countries from Monday. America's top infectious disease specialist Dr Anthony Fauci told that this will provide an opportunity to increase preparedness. The government of South Africa has objected to the travel restrictions. The WHO said in a statement that it "stands with African countries". The apex health organization said that travel restrictions may partially play a role in slowing the spread of Covid-19, but it has a major impact on people and their livelihoods.

Omicron, a new Covid-19 varient is 5 time more dangerous than delta varients....

Omicron, the name of the new Covid-19 variant that is sending worrying signals from Southern Africa, becomes again dangerous for the world. India is also not safe if the decision is not taken by the Government in time. Uttrakhand Government has issued new guidelines for the new variant. New Delhi and Madhya Pradesh Government make the state on alert mode. World Health Organisation has named it 'Variant of Concern'. 

The Omicron variant is found 5 times more dangerous than the Delta variant. It makes scientists worried as there would be no safety even after taking the full doses of the Corona vaccine. Now from Jammu & Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Gujrat to Arunachal Pradesh, the whole country is on high alert mode. The coming 30 days is very important to our country. Within 30 days it would be clear how much our country would be safe from the 3rd wave of the corona. 

The Prime Minister of India has issued an important advisory to all the state governments. Prime Minister of India has instructed to make a positive review about the functioning of all the oxygen plant and hospital facilities, to be ready to face any kind of hurdle. It is a matter to be worry as the new variant is highly transmissible and can challenge even strong immunity. This variant genome sequencing is B.1.1.529 mutant and it can replace the delta variant. Out of 59 mutations, about 32 mutations and their receptor binding site or spike protein are found more dangerous than the Delta variant. Dr. Easwar Jilad, specialist, Infectious diseases, told that it is good news that till today, no patient seen in India with this variant. But it does not mean that we should be very calm, still, high alertness is required and it is better to stop many international flights and other transportation systems for that a meeting is being held in Delhi and it is expected that some important decision may come to stop the International flights from December 15, 2021. 

Prime Minister Of India has written a letter to the state government stating that the strict SOP should be followed for the passengers coming from other countries and also increase the RT-PCR testing. Hospitals make ready, oxygen plant should make functional, hot spot area should be strictly monitored. It has decided to seal international borders immediately. 

M.P. Government decides that 50 % of the capacity of the school college will only be made functional. Attendance would be made on alternate days. Online classes will be continued.   The first Omicron variant had been observed in South Africa and now it has caused panic across the world, among governments, the public, and the stock markets. After adding a number of southern African countries to the red list, the UK government has reimposed mandatory masks in England from Tuesday and will require anyone traveling to the country from abroad to take a PCR test. Omicron is probably the first variant to have scientists worried since Delta became the predominant strain in every country last summer. But how bad it is? What does it mean for future lockdowns – and future deaths? Let us see.....

Unhygeinic or Bad food always has bad effect on the health.....

A new global report has claimed that almost half of the world's population is getting poor nutrition. Due to this, the health of the people is deteriorating; it is also having a bad effect on the earth. These results have been released in the Global Nutrition Report (GNR). According to them, about half of the world's population is not getting proper nutrition, due to which food is available in more or less quantity. 

It is an annual survey of GNR and analyzes the latest data on nutrition and related topics. This year's report found that 48 percent of people around the world are either eating too much or working too much, due to which they are either increasing their weight too much or losing too little. 

Difficult to achieve target... If this situation continues, eight of the nine goals set by the World Health Organization to be achieved by 2025 will not be achieved. These goals include reducing the number of tall children, very young children, and obese adults. The report estimates that around 150 million children under the age of 5 are too short for their age, 45 million are too thin for their height and 40 million are overweight. The report also said that among adults, more than 40 percent (2.2 billion) are either overweight or obese. 

Renata Micha, chair of the GNR's independent expert group, said deaths that could have been prevented due to poor diet have increased by 15 percent since 2010. Poor diet is responsible for about a quarter of all deaths in adults. 

Bad food everywhere... He also said that our global results show that our diet has not improved over the past decade and is now a major threat to people's health and the planet. This year's survey revealed that people around the world are not getting enough healthy food like fruits and vegetables. This is especially happening in low-income countries. In high-income countries, the consumption of harmful things like red meat, milk products, and sugary beverages is happening the most. 

The report also noted that the current global nutrition goals make no mention of a diet other than reducing sodium. The report recommended new and more comprehensive targets. Meecha explained that science supports a food-based approach or a diet-pattern approach to measure impacts on health and the environment. 

The GNR also calculated that worldwide food demand generated about 35 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in 2018. According to the report, animal-derived food generally has a higher environmental footprint per product than plant-derived food. As a result, they were found to be responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions related to food and land use.

The report said that funding to increase nutrition is urgently needed around the world, especially because Kovid-19 pushed an estimated 155 million people into extreme poverty. GNR estimates that nutrition spending will need to increase by about $4 billion each year to meet the targets by 2030.

Foods in winter that made reasons for weight gain….

In the cold, we are sitting inside the quilt and with a hot plate of food and tea in hand. How relaxing to hear that isn't it? These are all you need to make the winter days comfortable. But this comfortable time also becomes troublesome for many people. 

Yes, winter weight is indeed a problem. There are many reasons behind this, firstly cold weather, less physical activity, slowing down of metabolism and finally eating more to keep the body warm. All these things work to increase our weight. There are some main foods being eaten in winter in many parts of our countries and that make reasons to increase weight. 

Creamy Soup - What if you didn't enjoy hot soup in winter? Soup not only satisfies hunger pangs but also warms you up in cold weather and also provides the necessary nutrition to fight against cold. But if you consume creamy soup, then there is a risk of weight gain. We are not saying that you should stop drinking soup, but drink it thoughtfully. Instead of creamy soup, drink the clear soup of tomatoes, vegetables, etc…

Winter season’s sweets- Gajar ka halwa (Carrot Halwa), Beetroot’s Halwa, chikkis (peanut sweet), til ka ladoos (Roasted sesame and jaggery bolls), gulab jamuns, and Christmas cakes all have high calories. So, we need to be careful while eating them. This does not mean that do not eat these things, but take care of the portion while eating. Eat sweets only once a day. 

Parathas - There is nothing more fun than having hot parathas with butter and pickle in winters. It is easy to make. Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, or radishes can be stuffed in it. They are delicious to eat, but they also work to increase weight. Do eat parathas in winter, but at the same time use ghee or butter at least in it. 

Tea or Coffee- Winters are incomplete without tea and coffee. Drinking hot tea or coffee gives warmth to our body, but it also increases weight. Drink only 2-3 less tea or coffee a day. Instead, you can drink herbal tea or black tea, or coffee. The anti-oxidants present in it prove to be helpful in reducing weight. 

Disclaimer: The advice and suggestions mentioned in the above article are for general information. It should not be correlated with doctors’ prescriptions or professional medical advice. Always consult your doctor if you have any health issues or allergies on consuming aforesaid food items.

Development of Silicosis detection kit is boon on medical field….

Silicosis is a deadly disease related to the respiratory system, makes the patient difficult to breathe.  The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has developed a new test kit to detect silicosis, a lung disease. With the help of test kits, this disease can be detected before it becomes serious. Early detection of silicosis is also important because once the condition worsens, it becomes difficult for the patient to recover as before. Silicosis is a lung disease. 

A mineral called silica is found in sand, soil, and dust. In workers living around it or working in such an environment, silica particles reach the lungs through inhalation. Gradually their number keeps on increasing and the lungs keep getting damaged. Over time, the silica particles damage the lungs so much that it becomes difficult for the patient to breathe. This is said to be the most severe stage of silicosis. If you understand in a common language, then the lungs stop working properly. Silicosis increases the risk of many other diseases. These include tuberculosis, lung cancer, and chronic bronchitis.

How to diagnose this disease- There is no specific test to diagnose this disease. Doctors diagnose it on the basis of symptoms. For example, how does it feel to breathe while resting or walking? Get job-related information. No specific changes or symptoms are seen in the patients. Information on past medical records is taken. Apart from this, experts recommend getting some tests done in case of danger. These tests tell about the condition of the patient's lungs.

Treatment of silicosis- There is no exact cure for this disease. Once the disease occurs again, the patient cannot be cured as before. Only through treatment can the rate of progression of the disease be slowed down. It is advised to stay away from smoking. As a treatment, with the help of a bronchodilator, the airways are relieved and an attempt is made to reduce the swelling. Sometimes oxygen is also given to the patient.

Sleeping less than seven and a half hours a day can reduce thinking ability and memory……

Taking less and more sleep than necessary, both are not good for health. The ability to think and understand decreases in such people. Researchers from Washington University have made this claim in their research. Researcher and neurologist Dr. Brendan Lucy say, due to incomplete sleep or not sleeping properly, there is a direct effect on the brain. This effect on the brain is visible in your ability to think and understand. How many hours of sleep should a person get on average and what to do if he does not sleep, according to the latest research, it is found that 7.30 hours of sleep is the best remedy for good health for a person. 

[Have a Good Sleep with sweet dreams]

Researchers say, if you are getting 8 hours of sleep and set the alarm 30 minutes earlier, then seven and a half hours of sleep has a positive effect on the brain. Good and sound sleep reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Research on the effects of good sleep for 7.30 hours had been conducted on about 100 elderly people with an average age of 75 years. For research, a small monitor was tied on the forehead of these elders. The type of activity in the brain during sleep was checked with a monitor and recorded. The research that lasted an average of four and a half years revealed that it has a good effect on brain activity. 

A special type of protein is responsible for Alzheimer's disease in patients. What is the level of that protein in the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain of the elderly involved was checked in the research? Patients who slept for about 7.5 hours each night had better cognitive scores. At the same time, people who slept 5 or five and a half hours a day got this score lower. 

Sleep has a direct link to Alzheimer's- Earlier research had revealed that there is a connection to Alzheimer's disease with half-depleted sleep. Symptoms of Alzheimer's include memory loss, confusion, and a delay in understanding new things. If we want to avoid them, then we must take at least seven and a half hours of sleep.

4-7-8 Technique also relieves insomnia- If there is no sleep at night, then you can adopt the 4-7-8 breathing technique. It has been prepared by Dr. Andrew Weil, a scientist at the University of Arizona, USA. This technique is based on Pranayama. If you adopt this technique for a long time, then you start falling asleep quickly. To do this, sit or lie down in a comfortable position in a quiet place with the correct posture. If you are using this technique for sleep then it is better to lie down. Now put the front part of the tongue with the palate just behind the teeth. Keep it like this throughout the practice, and then start to follow the 4-7-8 technique.

What is the 4-7-8 Technique? Yes. This is a scientifically proven deep breathing style that works before going to bed. Take a deep breath in and count 1-4 and then hold breathe and count 1-7 and release your breath by counting 1-8. Repeat this technique minimum of 10 times surely, it will relax your brain and make you ready to go to deep sleep.

If you can't sleep, drink lukewarm milk- In recent research by Chinese scientists, it has been proved that drinking lukewarm milk leads to good sleep. Research by the National Natural Science Foundation of China has revealed that an amino acid called tryptophan is found in milk. Apart from this, research also revealed that milk peptide casein hydrolysate is also found in it, which reduces stress and improves sleep. Together these two things remove the problem of insomnia.

According to Ayurveda, some things should not be consumed with radish even after forgetting....

Consuming radish in winter is good for health. It has anti-bacterial properties. Which gives relief in cold and cough. It should be consumed during the day itself. By consuming it, there is relief in diseases like kidneys, lungs, stones, anemia, jaundice. Consuming raw radish also provides relief in the problem of acidity. 

There are many benefits from its consumption, but according to Ayurveda, some things should not be consumed with radish even after forgetting because the wrong combination can lead to allergies and serious illness. So let's know what should not be eaten with radish such as- 

Milk - Radish and milk should not be consumed even by forgetting. This increases the risk of skin diseases. Do not consume milk immediately after consuming radish. Or do not consume radish after milk. By doing this, there is an effect of cold and hot on the body. Radish is hot and milk is cold. Which can lead to indigestion. The digestive system may deteriorate. Never forget to take other salty things with milk. 

Orange - One should not forget to consume orange with radish. This seriously harms health. Consuming together can cause stomach problems and can invite other diseases. Consuming both together is considered poison. 

Bitter gourd - Bitter gourd is also a vegetable and radish too. But consuming these two together is prohibited. The natural ingredients of these two are different from each other. Which can have a bad effect on your body. If consumed together, you may also have breathing problems. Also, if you are a heart patient, then it can cause even more danger.

 It is common to get cold and cough due to cold air in the winter season. But no one likes to stay in the nose or chest for a month. In this case, more care has to be taken. Indian spices are more beneficial for health than how much flavor they add to food. There are many benefits of consuming black pepper and honey in cold. So let's know the benefits of eating honey and black pepper together in winter.

1. Get rid of cold and cough - If a person has frequent colds, and then take a spoonful of honey at night and mix half a spoonful of black pepper in it. Eat and sleep. This will give rest throughout the night. In addition, it is also very effective for phlegm. Rest is available overnight and in one day only.

2. Strengthen Immunity - For people who fall sick very frequently, it is necessary to strengthen their immunity. For this, we can also consume only black pepper water. Put some ghee in a pan, after it becomes hot, add black pepper and add water. After that boil it well. It can be consumed anytime.  We may add little sugar for taste. By consuming this water immunity will be strong. The throat will be clear, and there will be no or itching.

3. Give rest to the stomach - If you have a problem with indigestion in cold, then take black pepper. Consuming this will give relief from problems like gas, acidity, constipation. The good properties present in black pepper help in getting rid of stomach problems. So we can consume it. Then we can add it to milk, add it to the vegetable, and drink black pepper tea or even just water.

4. Control cholesterol - The constituents present in black pepper also give relief in serious diseases. Consuming it reduces bad cholesterol. The risk of heart disease is reduced. For this, boil water of black pepper in a glass and drink it after adding honey.

5. Will get rid of depression - Actually, depression has become a common problem. People ranging from youth to 55-60 years of age are falling prey to it. In such a situation, home remedies are also necessary along with Medicare.

Keep blood pressure under control to prevent memory loss in old age…

If you want to prevent memory loss in old age, then keep blood pressure under control. Recent research by international researchers says high blood pressure is also affecting your memory. At the age of 30 to 40, if your blood pressure remains elevated, and then control it as it increases the risk of dementia. 

The risk was seen in 61 percent of the people- To understand the effect between blood pressure and falling memory, ie dementia, research was done on 2.50 lakh people in Britain. Their age was between 35 and 44 years and they were battling with high blood pressure. The MRI report revealed that 61 percent of these people are at risk of memory loss in the future. This research has been done by a team of international researchers. 

Brain shrinking of people with high BP-Researchers found in their research that the brain shrinks due to high blood pressure. A connection was found between its size reduction and dementia. Research says that people over the age of 35 whose blood pressure has increased, their brain is shrinking more. If high blood pressure is not controlled then the condition can worsen. 

Silent killer (HBP) is increasing heart patients- In 2019, the British Heart Foundation estimated that 4 million people between the ages of 30 and 40 in the UK were suffering from high blood pressure. According to researchers, cases of heart attack and stroke are increasing due to high BP, which is called the 'silent killer'. Experts say blood pressure can be messed up due to stress, infection, medicines, and even lack of water. The matter of concern is that there are a large number of people who do not understand the increasing and decreasing blood pressure. This condition leads to serious diseases and death later on. That is why it is also called the silent killer.

150 million people worldwide are battling high blood pressure (HBP)- WHO says, currently 150 crore people worldwide are suffering from hypertension. In 2019, 1.79 crore people died due to heart diseases. High blood pressure is responsible for one-third of these deaths. This is also because hypertensive patients do not understand this disease. Its symptoms are not visible. As a result, there are incidents like heart attacks in the patients. 

Some important facts to control High Blood Pressure-

1. Smoking increases BP for 20 minutes- This is necessary because Nicotine makes the walls of the arteries hard by shrinking them. Apart from this, it also plays a role in blood clotting. It takes 20 minutes for the heartbeat to return to normal after a person smokes a cigarette. So it is better to leave it.

2. If We reduce the weight by 1 kg, then BP will also be reduced by 1 point - According to the Mayo Clinic, if an overweight person with obesity loses one kilogram, blood pressure decreases by 1 mm Hg (roughly 1 point). Not only this but blood pressure is also related to the waist. If the waist of a man is more than 40 inches and that of a woman is more than 35 inches, then its risk is high.

3. Do not eat more than 5 grams of salt in daily food- This is important because a young person should have less than 5 grams of salt in a day's diet. The equivalent of one teaspoon of salt contains about 2,300 mg of sodium. By reducing this amount of sodium in the food, 5 to 6 point BP can be reduced.

4. Less than 5 to 8 points BP with 30 minutes of exercise- According to research published in the National Institute of Health, if you walk for 30 minutes a day, then there is a reduction in blood pressure by 5 to 8 points. However, the walk should be done continuously; otherwise, the blood pressure may rise again. Apart from this, jogging, cycling, and dancing also reduce blood pressure.

 

Spend some moments in the midst of nature in returns get good health and get longevity.....

If we do gardening or exercise in the midst of nature, the mind remains happy, the restlessness goes away; American scientists also confirmed. If we want to keep our minds happy, then we should spend time in the midst of nature. If we do gardening and exercise in natural places, then the restlessness goes away and the mind feels better. The man stays away from mental problems. 

This claim has been made by researchers from York University in England in their recent research. Researchers say, what effect does activity among nature have on a person's mental health.  Research has revealed that between 8 and 12 weeks, if a person spends 20 to 90 minutes in nature, then he feels better mentally. 

Researcher Dr. Peter Coventry says we know that spending some time in the midst of nature is good for health. But research has proved that it is equally good for mental health. Activities related to gardening, exercise, and protection of plants amidst nature refresh the mind. If we spend time in the group, we get more benefit in such places and do different types of positive activities, then the mental health is more beneficial. 

It is also revealed that spending time with nature is an investment for good health. Research has explained the benefits for mental health, but there is no evidence related to how much such outdoor activities benefit the body. There is a need to understand its short-term and long-term benefits in the next phase of research.

 

Risk of stroke observed in people, suffering from low-blood pressure…

Most people know that high blood pressure is the main cause of stroke, but in recent research, another reason has come into existence. New research says, low-blood pressure also causes a stroke. This claim has been made by Boston University School of Medicine researcher Dr. Hugo J. Apricio in his research. According to the researcher, 10 percent of patients suffering from low blood pressure are at risk of stroke. 

To understand the connection between low blood pressure and stroke, scientists had studied 30,000 elderly people who had suffered an ischemic stroke. Of these, a case of stroke came 18 months ago. 

The researchers say, their health data suggests that patients who smoked, had heart patients, or were suffering from dementia or cancer were at an even higher risk of stroke. Research data shows that not only high blood pressure, low blood pressure can also cause a stroke. 

Risk factors need to be reduced-

Researchers say, to avoid the risk of stroke, along with keeping an eye on low blood pressure, there is a need to protect yourself from its risk factors. So stay away from smoking. Adopt a lifestyle that reduces the risk of heart diseases and cancer.

Keep these things in mind to keep low-blood pressure normal-

•  Keep a low amount of salt in the food. Salt plays an important role in keeping the body's blood pressure normal.

• Keep the body hydrated with at least 8 glasses of water or other liquid (milk, whey, juice, lassi, etc) throughout the day.

• Avoid taking the stress and stay away from cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs.

• Include more green vegetables and fruits in the daily diet.

• Avoid eating high carbohydrate things.
