India Drugs and medicine news bulletin

As the population of India is growing constantly, the health sector is been effected badly. The lack of facility available in the hospital has leaded many patients untreated. And most of all is the cost of the treatment. As the generation is constantly changing, the need for medical service will increase too. The way people are enjoying their life unhygienic; eating street foods etc will be affecting the individual body slowly. Now what is the best way to keep oneself healthy and free from all these medical expenses? In my opinion the very best way is to keep yourself healthy with the food you eat and secondly keeping yourself updated with latest Drugs and medicine news as well as the medical and health news.

Drugs and medicine news are related to medicine that is available in the Indian market. Some companies trend to impose higher rates on the medicine that is available in the economical rates too. This difference comes when a company is trying to make higher profit. So for a consumer it is very important for him or her to known what is the price of the medicine that is available in the market. Buyer can very much take help from a book that is almost available in the chemist shop called “Drug Today” the journal has almost all details on drugs that is available in the market including the rates and the other brand of same salt or generic.

In fact in my opinion every house should have this book with them, so that none can cheat them. Drug  Today is No1 medicine formulation book and it is also known as Ready Reckoner For Current Medical Formualtion.

It is very important to be updated with all the latest Medical and health news. Drug Today Medical Times is the only newspaper which is dedicated to the health sector of India. The news that is published are very much reliable and factual, the common man should know all this fact as it is related to one’s health and lifestyle.

Appreciate the way you are, not how you look- Drug Today Medical Times

Drug Today Medical Times of India

When we talk about fitness, the first thing that crosses our mind is shedding the perceptible extra fat in our body. Most of us form an image of the bodies in mind. It involves our perception, imagination, emotions and feeling about one’s own body.

Both men and women bother about their body image. In most cases people think they are overweight when they are not. As per a study almost 45 per cent of women and 23 per cent of men in the healthy weight think they are overweight.

Poor body image is associated to dieting or eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia and binge eating and other mental health issues such as low self esteem, depression. People who prefer dieting may not know about the risks thereof. Most of us think diet in its more insidious incarnation as a temporary and highly restrictive programme of eating in order to lose weight, but the fact is that about 95 per cent of people who lose weight by dieting will regain it in 1-5 years. It does not work in long run.

Ojaswi, a college going girl said, “I am always worried about fitness. At 47 kg weight, my friends reassure me that I am just perfect for my age and height. However, I was not convinced and went on dieting, skipping one meal a day and taking little amount of desserts and sweets occasionally. After all this, I still feel I am way behind the perfect figure.”

Actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt have become role models for teenage girls for their chiseled frames. Sonam Kapoor, who was 86 kg till age 19, reduced her weight to become slim. Alia Bhatt, heartthrob of generation X, also lost almost 16 Kg in three months for her first movie Student of the Year after extreme dieting.

This poor body image may lead to various problems sometimes. Extreme dieting is a consequence of dieting improperly and pushing the limits of your body well beyond its capabilities. People who suffer psychologically from body image and feel the need to lose weight quickly are the ones to usually try extreme dieting.

Afsha, sibling of a figure freak who lost her life after extreme dieting said, “My sister opted for excessive dieting. She ate only once a day. After a month of the rigours of dieting, she died. Doctors attributed her death to intense weight loss.”

Apart from physical health, dieting is detrimental to deterioration of mental state too. On physical side, consequences are physical fatigue, continuous hunger pangs, sinus problems like post nasal drip, bloodshot eyes, gallbladder disease, rashes, atrophy of muscles, seizures, malnutrition that may lead to dying, dehydration, acidosis and constipations. On the mental side, consequences are irritability, depression, lower sex drive, risk of being vulnerable to more eating disorders.

Vidhya Balan, a brilliant Bollywood actress, has always had to struggle to keep her weight under control till she realised that she had been doing things the wrong way. She would starve herself and go without eating for sometimes twelve to fourteen hours. All this would inevitably lead to weight gain. Then she felt that the beauty of her face and eyes have never failed to capture the attention of audience. After trying out various fitness regimes, she came up with the realisation that she needed an attitudinal change towards reaching her particular goal and not set up unrealistic goals for herself.

Women who are on an overdrive to lose weight need to bear one thing in mind. Fat is not all that bad. It is natural for them to have fat on hips and thighs as it provides them a protective cover essential for fertility and breastfeeding as well as prevention of osteoporosis. It also improves eye sight, hair and teeth quality.

 There are several reasons which can lead to hypertension. But the most common culprit remains to be stress. Yes, the normal stress which we face every day in our life culminates to the disease. Apart from this, other factors like smoking, drinking, lack of exercise, aging, side effects of medications such as birth control pills, kidney and thyroid disease lead to disease. The role of the genetics leading to the ailment cannot be ruled out.

There are two kinds of hypertension namely essential hypertension and secondary hypertension. In essential hypertension the cause of the disease is unknown. While, major diseases like kidney and liver malfunctions are the reasons behind secondary hypertension.

 The disease is so dreaded that it has been named the major cause for heart stroke and cardiac arrest which takes largest number of lives around the world.

However, it is possible to keep the disease at bay by developing simple habits like diet control, keeping stress in control, quit smoking, reduce the intake of alcohol, doing regular exercise and most importantly reducing the amount of salt in your diet. Yoga has proved to be quite effective as well. Controlling high blood pressure (hypertension) is necessary to avoid major disease like renal and heart failure.
In addition, there are several medicines available in the markets which are beneficial in controlling high B.P. These include calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, diuretics, peripheral vasodilators. But, these medications are required to be taken on the advice of doctors only.

If a person wants to know if he or she is suffering from high B.P, then one should get their blood pressure checked through a registered physician. The machine which is used to measure blood pressure is called sphygmomanometer. Regular check-up and taking all the necessary measures prevents onset of high blood pressure and helps you to live healthy life.
