Ayurveda Tips For Fatty Liver Disease

लंदन। साइकिल चलाना, पैदल चलना, बागवानी, साफ-सफाई और खेलों में भाग लेने वाली या नियमित व्यायाम करने वाली महिलाओं को पार्किंसंस रोग होने का खतरा लगभग 25 प्रतिशत तक कम हो सकता है। ये बात एक अध्ययन से पता चली है। अमेरिकन एकेडमी ऑफ न्यूरोलॉजी के मेडिकल जर्नल में प्रकाशित अध्ययन हालांकि यह साबित नहीं करता है कि व्यायाम करने से पार्किं संस रोग का खतरा काफी कम हो जाता है, लेकिन इसका संबंध जरूर दिखाता है। अध्ययन के लेखक एलेक्सिस एल्बाज ने कहा, व्यायाम स्वास्थ्य को बेहतर बनाने के लिए कम लागत वाला तरीका है, इसलिए हमारे अध्ययन ने यह निर्धारित करने की कोशिश की कि क्या यह पार्किं संस रोग के विकास के कम जोखिम से जुड़ा हो सकता है। यह एक ऐसी बीमारी है जिसका कोई इलाज नहीं है। एल्बाज ने कहा, हमारे परिणाम पार्किं संस रोग को रोकने के लिए हस्तक्षेप की योजना बनाने के सबूत प्रदान करते हैं। अध्ययन में 95,354 महिला प्रतिभागियों को शामिल किया गया, जिनकी औसत आयु 49 वर्ष थी, जिन्हें अध्ययन की शुरूआत में पार्किंसंस नहीं था। शोधकर्ताओं ने तीन दशकों तक महिलाओं को फॉलो किया, जिसके दौरान 1,074 प्रतिभागियों ने पार्किं संस विकसित किया। अध्ययन के दौरान, प्रतिभागियों ने शारीरिक गतिविधि के प्रकार और मात्रा के बारे में छह प्रश्नावली पूरी कीं। उनसे पूछा गया कि वे कितनी दूर चली और प्रतिदिन कितनी सीढ़ियां चढ़ती हैं, कितने घंटे वे घरेलू गतिविधियों में लगाती हैं और साथ ही उन्होंने बागवानी जैसी गतिविधियां और खेल जैसी अधिक जोरदार गतिविधियां करने में कितना समय लगाया। अधिक व्यायाम करने वालों में पार्किं संस रोग के 246 मामले या प्रति 1,000 व्यक्ति-वर्ष में 0.55 मामले थे, जबकि सबसे कम व्यायाम करने वालों के बीच 286 मामले या 0.73 प्रति 1,000 व्यक्ति-वर्ष थे। व्यक्ति-वर्ष अध्ययन में लोगों की संख्या और प्रत्येक व्यक्ति द्वारा अध्ययन में खर्च किए जाने वाले समय दोनों का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है। निवास स्थान, पहली बार पीरियड और मेंस्ट्रूएशन और धूम्रपान जैसे कारकों को देखने के बाद, शोधकर्ताओं ने पाया कि ज्यादा व्यायाम करने वाले समूह में पार्किं संस रोग के विकास की दर 25 प्रतिशत कम थी। आहार या चिकित्सा स्थितियों जैसे उच्च रक्तचाप, मधुमेह और हृदय रोग के समायोजन के बाद परिणाम समान थे। शोधकर्ताओं ने यह भी पाया कि डायगोनेसिस से 10 साल पहले, पार्किं संस रोग के शुरूआती लक्षणों के कारण इस रोग वाले लोगों की तुलना में शारीरिक गतिविधि में तेजी से गिरावट आई। अध्ययन की एक सीमा यह थी कि प्रतिभागी ज्यादातर स्वास्थ्य-जागरूक शिक्षक थी जिन्होंने लंबी अवधि के अध्ययन में भाग लेने की इच्छा जताई थी, इसलिए सामान्य जनसंख्या के लिए परिणाम भिन्न हो सकते हैं। (एजेंसी) यह भी पढ़े►घरेलू हिंसा से पीड़ित महिलाओं में अस्थमा का जोखिम ज्यादा : स्टडी

It's crucial to take care of your eyes as well as your skin as summer approaches. Due to their sensitivity, eyes can develop a number of disorders from prolonged exposure to the sun, dust, and pollution. Numerous eye issues, including corneal burns, retinal damage, chemical conjunctivitis, and corneal infections, are known to be brought on by hot weather, excessive UV exposure, and chlorinated water. According to Dr. Vandana Jain, Regional Head - of Clinical Services, Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital, Vashi, Mumbai, "Summer is the time when we enjoy the outdoors, but we often forget to take care of our eyes. Summers can be very challenging for our eyes, as excessive exposure to UV rays can cause cornea burns, retinal damage, and other eye problems. Also, spending too much time in air-conditioned environments can cause eye dryness, while chlorinated water in pools can lead to chemical conjunctivitis and corneal infections. Moreover, the swinging temperature during summer can cause viral and allergic conjunctivitis, leading to eye discomfort and irritation. Therefore, it's essential to take necessary precautions to protect your eyes from these potential threats during the summer. Dr. Jain suggests the following eye care tips to protect your eyes during summer: Wear Larger Sunglasses with 100 percent UV Protection: Invest in sunglasses that provide full protection against harmful UV rays. Wraparound frames are the best as they give protection even from the sides. Use Wide Brimmed Hat: In addition to sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat will give you additional protection from the sun. Stay Hydrated: Drink at least two liters of water to prevent your skin and eyes from getting dehydrated. Apply Sunscreen Carefully: While applying sunscreen, ensure that it does not get into your eyes as it can cause discomfort. Avoid Mid-Day Sun: The sun is at its strongest between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it's best to stay indoors during these hours. If you must go out, don't forget to wear sunglasses and a hat. Protect Your Eyes in the Pool: Chlorinated water can irritate your eyes. Wear swimming goggles every time you jump into the pool and wash your eyes with fresh clean water after swimming. Use Lubricating Eye Drops: The increased use of air conditioning can cause dryness in your eyes. Use preservative-free eye drops to give comfort to your eyes. Wear Protective Eye Gear: During outdoor activities, always wear protective eye gear to prevent eye injuries from flying debris. Dr. Vandana adds, "These simple eye care tips will help you enjoy summers without any eye problems. Remember, prevention is better than cure, therefore, scheduling regular eye check-ups to detect and treat eye problems early is very important. Also, people should avoid smoking, as it can increase the risk of various eye problems, including cataracts and macular degeneration. So, this summer, protect your eyes and enjoy the outdoors with caution. (Agency) Read More►What are the 8 Factors Causing You Wrinkles?

Stress is the body and mind's physical reaction to an event that is happening in our lives. Stress is referred to in Ayurveda as SAHASA, and it lowers immunity and makes the body more susceptible to disease. Stress can be caused by eating unhealthy foods, following an irregular or incorrect routine, and having uncontrolled mental emotions like fear, rage, or grief. Emotions and body organs are said to be intimately related in Ayurveda. When we repress negative emotions, they are not processed and cannot be released, which puts stress on the organs and causes diseases. According to Ayurveda, stress is a nerve system disturbance that the Vata dosha governs. Ayurvedic techniques for managing stress not only keep the body and mind in harmony but also gradually increase the level of inner fulfillment. Ayurvedic treatments have basically two aims: Maintain the health of a healthy person and Cure the disease of an ill person. Ayurvedic lifestyle recommendations for stress management achieve both of the objectives mentioned above. Life, in accordance with Ayurveda, is a harmonious union of the body, mind, and soul. Ayurveda advises making lifestyle changes to reach a balanced condition, such as scheduling activities like sleeping and waking up, following a balanced meal plan, engaging in appropriate exercise, and getting enough rest. Literally meaning mental peace, treatments for stress management work to relieve the ill effects that come from the burden of mental strain-stress, insomnia, lack of concentration, fatigue, and headaches, and help in improving your mental health. The treatment course for Manashantichikitsa/treatment follows the 3 stages, Poorvakarma - the preparatory phase, Shodana - the cleansing or eliminating phase, and finally Samana which is the corrective and rejuvenation phase. In the first step, internal and external oleation (Snehanam) and therapeutic sweating (Swedanam) prepare the body for the removal of toxins. After the body has been prepped, the doctor will choose the cleansing procedure or panchakarma treatment based on each patient's body type and overall health. The doshas (body constitution) imbalances will be stabilized during these two stages of treatment. The body is gradually pulled out of the extreme cleansing and elimination stage during the third and final stage of treatment, Samana or Paschatkarma, by correcting medications, moderate therapeutic treatments, a healthy diet, and yoga asanas to revitalize the body. (Dr Jayan, Sr. Doctor, Kalari Kovilakom) Read More►10 Ways to Protect Your Hair During The Intense Summer Heat
