What is that one thing you never forget to keep in your bag before you leave for office? It is a bottle of water. There are many reasons for consuming that water, the primary reason being the peace of mind that comes along with that water bottle. You feel nice and peaceful since you know that you are consuming safe & pure drinking water as it is from your home. However, many of us in India are not aware of the health implications of directly consuming the tap water.

Due to water pollution and increased urbanization, tap water is considered unsafe for direct consumption. The water might have some percentage of bacteria, virus, or even have harmful chemicals. In many cases, this is same water that your kids (and other loved ones) would also consume due to which they might get affected by water-borne diseases like cholera, typhoid, fever, malaria, etc. No one in this world can survive without water hence, you should take all measures to ensure that the water that you are having is ‘safe for consumption’.

With the advent of water purifier and water filter, you can breathe a sigh of relief as purifiers are equipped with advanced technologies to filter the water. Water Purifier is broadly classified into RO Water Purifier and UV Water Purifier. You can also choose RO Water Filter in case you are looking for a more economical option. Let’s have a detailed look at RO and UV Water Purifiers.

RO Water Purifier

RO Water Purifier uses the Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification technology. It is one of the most popular and advanced filtrations techniques available and has been widely used by companies like LivPure who are pioneers in water purification products. The major advantages of RO Technology are a. RO filtration is completely automated b. Water purified using RO tastes nice c. RO purifiers and filters are competitively priced. d. Low maintenance costs.

In the RO process, all the inorganic solids are filtered from the input water. Salts is one example of organic solid. Regarding the other impurities, they are filtered out using the pressure that is applied by the household tap to the semi-permeable membrane in the purifier.

All the impurities in the water are removed when the water passes through the carbon filters and the output is ‘safe and pure’ drinking water. Pre-filer, RO membrane, Post-filer, and Automatic shut-off valve are the primary components of an RO System. LivPure has a number of options in the RO Water Purifier category – Livpure Vibe RO + UF + Mineraliser Water Purifier, Livpure Touch Vibe RO + UV + UF + Taste Enhancer Water Purifier, etc. Both these purifiers have a six-stage purification system and are capable of removing all the hazardous impurities in the water.

UV Water Purifier

As the name suggests, UV Water Purifier uses Ultraviolet (UV) rays in order to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that might be present in the water. They achieve the job without modifying the water’s taste or odor. Though you might not be aware of the various kinds of bacteria & viruses present in your home water, in case if it contains cryptosporidium, giardia, and bacteria; it is time you have a UV Water Purifier installed in your home.

UV Water Purifiers are highly popular as they require low maintenance and kill almost 99.99% of the impurities present in the water. Some of the popular UV Water Purifiers are Livpure Touch UV 60-Litre Water Purifier and Livpure Glitz UV & UF Water Purifier. UF stands for Ultra-Filtration and when used along with UV, it gives the best purification results.

The pill of the day after we can also know it as morning-after pill, morning-after pill, next-day pill, post-coital pill, or post-coconut pill. It is a combination of hormones whose function is to alter the female reproductive cycle, inhibiting ovulation and preventing fertilization.

The contraceptive pill by ベストケンコー has always been surrounded by a certain controversy precisely because of those unwanted side effects (bleeding, headache, nausea, breast tenderness, mood swings …) that can cause the hormones of which it is composed – or rather , of which it was composed, since the third and fourth generation are made from other synthetic derivatives that try to avoid these effects-, the epicenter of a myriad of misunderstandings and misunderstandings lacking, in most cases, of a medical basis , as it produces infertility , that fattens or inhibits sexual desire or that it is convenient to rest from time to time.

The main advantage of the contraceptive pill by ベストケンコー lies in its effectiveness: if it is taken correctly it has a reliability of more than 99%. But it not only serves to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, but many women resort to them to regulate their menstrual cycle and minimize premenstrual symptoms , such as pain, irritability or swollen chest.

How the pill works

You can avoid the natural detachment of the ovary from the ovary so that it travels its way to be fertilized.

• In the event that the ovum has left the ovary, the emergency contraceptive acts modifying the cervical mucus. This prevents the sperm from passing into the uterus.
• In the event that fertilization has occurred, the function of the morning-after pill is to prevent the attachment of the fertilized egg to the uterine wall, because a narrowing of the endometrial occurs. This causes the ovum to die and be expelled.

The treatment consists in the intake of a single tablet, which you should take as soon as possible. The idea is to take it in the first 24 hours after intercourse, although the time limit is in the 72 hours after the sexual risk.

Effectiveness

The effectiveness of the morning-after pill of ベストケンコー is almost 100% when taken in the 24 hours after risk-taking.

Ingestion of the morning-after pill has no effect on future pregnancies, since your fertility returns immediately in the next menstruation.

Advantage

• Its intake does not affect long-term fertility.
• It does not preclude the continuity of the daily use of the contraceptive pill if you were already taking it.
• In the case of being already pregnant and not knowing it, if you take the morning-after pill it will not increase the risk of the fetus having birth defects, etc.

Disadvantages

• After its taking you can feel nausea, headache, etc.
• Irregular bleeding similar to menstruation.
• Some medications, such as certain antibiotics, medications for depression, etc., can reduce their effectiveness.
• Fluid retention.
• Maybe the next menstruation arrives normal or goes ahead some days but if it is delayed you have to carry out a pregnancy test.

Many looks at Yoga and think “is this really something I can do?” They see twisted figures and conclude they can’t perform the moves. However, Yoga for beginners includes poses where you can start off slow and work your way up to a comfortable regimen.

The philosophy of Yoga is to balance the body and mind and establish stability and relaxation. It helps you become more sensitive and body conscious and rediscover what your body yearns for. Yoga releases tension and improves blood flow which will rejuvenate your appearance by delivering oxygen and regenerating cells.

The Benefits of Yoga

With yoga’s slow movement sequences, it’s a popular treatment for age and arthritis. Patients often decrease activity, which can result in muscle or tendon shortening, and weakened ligaments, but according to clinical studies, the gentle stretching movements offer great benefits for arthritis patients, including rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

The US Center for Disease Control recommends at least two days of muscle strengthening activities, such as yoga, per week. The center also emphasizes that the most effective routines should work all muscle groups. Yoga works by activating in a static way and strengthening each area of ​​the body, including the knees and legs.

There is no specific limit to the types of yoga that a person with arthritis can or cannot perform. Everyone should listen to their own body, and if a posture or a movement is painful or uncomfortable, don’t do it.

When you perform postures on the ground, use a knee block to support them. Start with easy postures and gradually continue to more challenging postures for several weeks or months. Never force a pose, and if your knees are particularly sore one day, take a rest until you feel better.

Why Yoga Works

Yoga uses a combination of stretching and bodyweight exercises. Experts point out regular physical activity can improve joint mobility and function, reduce pain and decrease the progress of arthritis. Strengthening the muscles around the knees, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and other leg muscles can help you maintain mobility and reduce pain.

The Weapon Against Stress and Inflammation

It is essential, today more than ever, to limit chronic inflammatory responses in the body. Recent studies at Ohio State University, conducted on over 200 women conclude that Yoga significantly decreased cytokines molecules, which signal the presence of inflammation. Based on the results, doctors find that Yoga helps increase overall vitality by reducing the body’s response to stress, while diminishing inflammation. And the benefits are long-term.

Even more, research has also found that women with breast cancer undergoing radiotherapy, who practiced yoga had an improvement in the quality of life with an increase in physical strength, and a decrease in fatigue.

Given the close relationship between fatigue, stress, inflammation and other chronic diseases, it appears yoga can be a big benefit to everyone. It has been proven that practicing yoga regularly not only prevents but also helps to tackle and fight diseases with high levels of disability and mortality.

Rotator cuff trauma can lead to significant discomfort in individuals. These injuries affect many people all the time. They’re frequently seen in athletes who play tennis and baseball. They’re frequently seen in workers who must handle things such as floor cleaning. If you’re worried that you may have a rotator cuff tear, you need to seek medical assistance as soon as possible. Dr. Daniel Schwartz in Seattle, WA is a reputable surgeon who specializes in all matters that pertain to rotator cuff injuries. People who have rotator cuff tears regularly seek care from qualified doctors like him. Take note of signs that often point to rotator cuff injuries. If you think that you have this kind of trauma, you need to make an appointment with a suitable medical professional as soon as possible.

Intense Pain

If you feel an intense sense of pain, then you may have a rotator cuff tear on your hands. This extreme pain may be located on your upper arm and shoulder’s exterior. Feelings of pain are particularly problematic in the middle of activities. People who do a lot of moving around often experience significant and lasting pain.

Loss of Power

A rotator cuff tear can contribute to a marked loss of power in affected persons. A capable doctor can figure out how powerful your specific rotator cuff is. He or she can do so by conducting appropriate tests. Some people are unable to elevate their arms above their heads. There are other people who do not have the ability to extend their arms straight out starting from their physiques. People who are part of these categories frequently have rotator cuff tears.

Unusual Testing Outcomes

Doctors who specialize in diagnosing rotator tear cuffs typically conduct in-depth physical examinations on their patients. They frequently conduct diverse tests such as ultrasounds, X-rays and even MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging). These tests enable them to view any potential muscle and tendon destruction that may be in existence.

Problems With the Management of Basic Daily Responsibilities

If you have a rotator cuff tear, you may realize out of nowhere that you have issues taking care of daily responsibilities and needs that used to be typical for you. If brushing your tresses suddenly is a significant headache for you, then you may have a rotator cuff that’s unpleasantly torn. If sleeping comfortably at night on your bed randomly seems like the tallest order in the world, then a rotator cuff tear may be the big reason why as well. Set up an appointment to talk to your doctor about seemingly basic things that you no longer can handle well.

Feebleness of the Arm

If you have a rotator cuff tear, don’t expect annoying and stubborn pain to necessarily be the sole sign of it at all. People who have rotator cuff tears frequently develop noticeable and persistent feebleness of their arms.

Working in front of a computer, whether you wear glasses already or not, still does damage to your eyes.  It has been observed that if you spend more than 4 hours a day at a computer you are more likely to suffer from stress, headaches, strained eyes and a decline in eyesight.

There are no known effects directly from being near a computer that does any damage, it is more the action of staring at a screen for extended periods of time where the problems start. Symptoms of eye-strain include blurriness, mild headaches and an ache around the eye. It is not just extended periods in front of a computer that can lead to this. Reading something very close up, working in dark conditions or glare from lighting can all lead to eye-strain.

Office environments can often combine these scenarios; it is important to be aware of them so you can inform your employer or change them yourself. Eye-strain will not cause permanent damage, however, if left over a long period of time, the muscles that make the lens in your eye work will become weakened. If you do not change your working environment, this could lead you to requiring corrective glasses.

In order to avoid such a situation, adjust your working environment. Make sure that your monitor, desk and chair are set at comfortable heights – you shouldn’t have to look up or down to see your screen.  Rest your eyes every 20 minutes.  It is good to get up and have a little stretch and walk around. Also, eye drops may help, as this will keep your eye moist and refreshed. Polarized eyewear can also help cut down the refractions from the screen light and make it more pleasant to look at, but they are usually tinted, so perhaps get used to the idea of using your computer whilst wearing Oakley sunglasses! Finally, get an appointment with an optician. They will examine the over-all health of your eye as well as whether you may need corrective glasses.  Even if you have 20:20 vision, visiting the opticians is recommended at least every two years.

Check with your employer; many companies run schemes where they will pay for your appointment with the optician.  Also, they may have schemes for ensuring your working environment meets the required ergonomic standards.  This will help your joints, spine and posture as well as your eyes.

We spend so much time in front of a computer or TV; it would be good to give ourselves a break.  In fact, as I sit here in front of my computer, contemplating the irony of writing this article, I am looking up the number of my nearest optician.…

Most of us know how to take care of our teeth under normal circumstances, but what about vacations? Even a brief weekend getaway can lead to poor oral care, which promotes a greater risk of developing gum disease and cavities. Follow these guidelines to help you keep your mouth healthy while traveling.

Pack Healthy Snacks

This is true, whether you’re traveling with children, or just going with friends. While sugary snacks should be avoided for the rush it gives children anyway, they also do a great deal of damage to the teeth. During long rides, that sugar will stay in the mouth attacking the gums and the enamel of your teeth. Bring along healthier snacks to avoid this damage and keep everyone feeling calm.

Take Brush Breaks

It’s also a good idea to brush your teeth when you stop for a bathroom break. This will eliminate the bacteria and food particles that have been gathering in your gums, during the ride. Be sure to be along a travel brush, toothpaste, mouthwash, and bottled water for rinsing. Keeping toothpicks in the car is also a good idea.

Check Dentist Listings for Your Destination

Just as you would plan ahead by mapping out the hospitals and clinics in the area of your vacation destination, it’s also a good idea to make similar plans for your dental care. You never know when the symptoms of tooth decay will present themselves and the last thing you want to do is get caught unprepared with tooth pain. By looking online for contact information for a dentist Fort Collins CO or any other destination, you’ll already have the contact information with you. Be sure to check the hours of operation, as well.

Missing a Toothbrush?

It happens. You’re rushed and trying to get everything packed, so you forget your toothbrush. Even if you’re on the road without a pharmacy in sight, you can still do some things to protect your teeth. If you remembered the toothpaste, you can spread some on your finger and run your finger along your teeth. Similarly, you can use a clean washcloth in a pinch. If you also forgot the toothpaste, rinsing with bottled water is better than not doing anything. If you gargle and rinse vigorously, that can be enough to flush bacteria and loose food particles from the mouth.

Get Back to Your Normal Routine

Whether you’ll be staying with family or in a hotel, take a few minutes to pay extra special attention to oral care. Even if you’ve followed these other suggestions, your mouth probably isn’t as clean as it should be after a long ride. Go through your normal routine, spending a little extra time brushing, making sure to cover every area of your mouth.

Getting away is a great experience and can help you unwind and relieve the tension that builds up in your daily life. However, that’s no excuse to leave your oral care routines behind. By remaining diligent about keeping your teeth and gums free from bacteria, you’re less likely to get bad news at your next dental exam.
