Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay natural aging and prevent various skin problems. Don't smoke- Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow and makes skin paler. This also depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.Smoking also damages collagen and elastic — the fibers that give your skin strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles. Treat your skin gently- Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. Eat a healthy diet- A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but some research suggests that a...

                              What is Diabetes?                                                                Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Your body breaks down most of the food you eat into sugar (glucose) and releases it into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body’s cells for use as energy. With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin , too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, suc...

  Cholera making a comeback after years of decline: WHO NEW DELHI: The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned  that cholera, a disease of the 19th  century, may be making a comeback again after years of  decline. According to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general  of WHO, a worrying upsurge in  cases of the food and water borne  disease has been observed around the globe  over the past year. “Cholera thrives on poverty and conflict,  but is now being turbo-charged by climate  change. Extreme climate events like floods,  cyclones and droughts further reduce  access to clean water and create the  ideal environment for cholera to spread,”  Ghebreyesus said . Cholera is an acute diarrhoeal infection caused  by ingestion of food or water  contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio Cholerae.  It causes acute watery diarrhoea. While most people recover f rom the disease with mild or no symptoms, som...

                                  Panic Attack And Panic Disorders A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you're losing control, having a heart attack or even dying.     Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But if you've had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in constant fear of another attack, you may have a condition called panic disorder. Although panic attacks themselves aren't life-threatening, they can be frightening and significantly affect your quality of life. But treatment can be very effective. Panic attacks typically include some of these signs or symptoms: Sense of impending doom or ...

     Haiti reports cholera deaths for first time in 3 years Port-au-Prince: Haiti's government on Sunday announced that at  least eight people have died from  cholera, raising concerns about  another potentially catastrophic  epidemic like the one that broke  out a decade ago and killed nearly  10,000 people. The cases - the  first cholera deaths reported in  three years - came in a  community called Dekayet in  southern Port-au-Prince and in the  gang-controlled seaside slum of  Cite de Soleil, where thousands of  people live in cramped, unsanitary conditions. "Cholera is something that can spread very quickly,"  warned Laure Adrien, director  general of Haiti's health ministry. Food or water contaminated with the  cholera bacteria can lead to severe  diarrhoea and dehydration which can be deadly. The United Nations said in a statement  that it is working with Haiti's government to...
