UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE 

7 APRIL 2018 - ON THIS WORLD HEALTH DAY THEME OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE, LET'S JOIN HANDS TO PROVIDE HEALTH TO EVERYONE AND EVERYWHERE. WE ALL HAVE RIGHT TO HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE AND WE SHOULD MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF IT. 


FOR ME, AS A DOCTOR, UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE INCLUDES THE FOUR SPHERES OF HEALTH : PHYSICAL , MENTAL , EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL INCLUDING DIET, EXERCISE AND SLEEP.  THE AIM OF MEDICINE IS JUST SYMPTOMATIC RELIEF WHEREAS OUR AIM SHOULD BE PREVENTION OF SUCH DISEASES AND AILMENTS THAT REQUIRE MEDICINE !!

THE FIRST AND THE MAIN COMPONENT TOWARDS HEALTH IS HANDWASHING WHICH IS NOT JUST MERELY RUBBING HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER BUT ALSO FOLLOWING THE BASIC 6 STEPS. HAND WASHING IS NOT SIMPLY AN ACT BUT IS AN ART.


THIS WORLD HEALTH DAY EMPHASIZES THE ART OF HAND WASHING, BREAST FEEDING, NEED FOR VACCINATIONS, CONDOM DISTRIBUTION FOR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, SUICIDE PREVENTION FOR MENTAL HEALTH, RISING PROBLEM OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE ETC.  THE HEALTH CARE STANDARD AND NORMS ALSO CALLS FOR ACTIVE RESEARCH IN THE FIELD OF MEDICINE.

TODAY'S ERA IS OF EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE AND BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE AND FOR THIS, RESEARCH AND HEALTH POLICIES NEED TO BE IMPLEMENTED EFFECTIVELY FOR A BETTER HEALTH OF THE SOCIETY !!!! IT IS POSSIBLE ONLY IF EARLY WARNING SYSTEM FOR HEALTH EMERGENCIES ( BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH)  IS ACTIVE AND PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF IT. THERE IS NEED FOR ACTIVE AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS BY PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE TO OPEN THE DOORS OF HEALTH FOR GOOGLISED PATIENTS OF 21ST CENTURY!! 

LASTLY, HEALTH IS ENSURED WHEN YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE WHICH COMES TO YOUR RESCUE IN TIMES OF HEALTH CRISIS. 


REMEMBER- HEALTH DOESN'T ALWAYS COME FROM MEDICINE. IT COMES FROM PEACE OF MIND, HEART AND SOUL. 
JOIN #HEALTHFORALL MOVEMENT. 

WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE !! :):)

SHATTER MYTHS ABOUT STRENGTH TRAINING

DEBUNK WORKOUT STEREOTYPES FORGET ABOUT 70% DIET & 30% TRAINING ; IT'S 100% DIET, TRAINING AND PASSION AS WELL....NOTHING GREAT HAS EVER BEEN ACHIEVED BY PARTIAL EFFORT. ONCE YOU FEEL FIT, EXERCISE BECOMES AN ADDICTION.  PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS NOT SYNONYMOUS TO EXERCISE. IF YOU ARE MOVING WHILE YOU ARE WORKING, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU NEED NOT WORKOUT. WORKING OUT MEANS TAKING OUT SPECIAL TIME DEDICATED TO YOUR OWN SELF AND YOUR BODY.    THERE ARE A LOTS OF MYTHS ABOUT WORKOUTS- ESPECIALLY CARDIO AND STRENGTH TRAINING. MOST OF US DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT EXACTLY THESE TERMS ARE. IN SIMPLE WORDS, CARDIO IS AN AEROBIC EXERCISE [UTILISES CARBS, PROTEIN AND FATS ]AND STRENGTH TRAINING IS ANAEROBIC [USES ONLY CARBS] - WHICH MEANS EXERCISE IS SCIENCE AND STRENGTH IS SKILL.   SPOT REDUCTION IS NEVER A GOAL - IT MEANS EVEN IF YOU DOING SQUATS AND YOUR BACK IS STRAIGHT, YOU ARE WORKING OUT THAT MUSCLE TOO. IT IMPLIES THAT YOUR POSTURE AND TECHNIQUE SHOULD...

CHILD PSYCHOLOGY- IT'S EASIER TO BUILD UP A CHILD THAN TO REPAIR AN ADULT

A CHILD IS AN UNCUT DIAMOND.                                                     - AUSTIN O'MALLEY THE MIND OF A CHILD IS FRAGILE. THEIR EMOTIONS TOUCH THEIR FUTURE. AND YOUR WORDS SHAPE THEIR DESTINY.  FROM THE WOMB OF THE MOTHER TILL ADULTHOOD, THE CHILD IS INFLUENCED BY HIS PARENTS AS WELL AS THOSE WHO SURROUND HIM. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT CHILD ACQUIRES HABITS AND TRAITS AS WE SHOW THEM. SCHOOL EDUCATION WILL NOT ESSENTIALLY HELP HIS PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT. IT'S THE PARENTING THAT PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN A CHILD'S LIFE. A CHILD IS A GREAT IMITATOR - WILL FOLLOW YOUR ACTIONS. SO IT'S BETTER FOR PARENTS TO PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH TO CHILD . IF YOU AREN'T GETTING UP EARLY IN MORNING, DON'T EXPECT YOUR CHILD TOO. AND IF YOU ARE SHORT TEMPERED, HOW CAN THE CHILD STAY CALM!!!  IF THE CHILD IS STUBBORN , IT MEANS ...
