#WorldStrokeDay : स्ट्रोक म्हणजे नेमके काय? कसे ओळखावे व काय करावे?

धामणगाव | एसएमबीटी विशेष

स्ट्रोक म्हणजे पॅरालिसीसचा ॲटॅक अथवा लकवा, याला ब्रेन ॲटॅक असेही म्हटले जाते. ऑक्सिजन आणि पौष्टिक द्रव्यांचा मेंदूला पुरवठा करणाऱ्या रक्तवाहिन्यांमध्ये अडचणी येतात अशा वेळी स्ट्रोक बसत असतो. 

दरवर्षी ८ लाखांपेक्षा अधिक लोकांना हा त्रास होतो. शरीरातील रक्तामध्ये गुठळी निर्माण झाल्याने अडथळे निर्माण झाल्यानंतर मेंदूच्या त्या भागावरील नियंत्रण राहत नाही. अवघ्या थोडक्या काळात ऑक्सिजनचा पुरवठा बंद झाला तरीदेखील मेंदूतील पेशी नामशेष होतात.  

एकदा प्राणवायूच्या कमतरतेमुळे पेशी मरायला लागल्या की, मेंदूच्या त्या विशिष्ट भागावरील नियंत्रण कमी होऊन त्याची परिणती पक्षाघात किंवा अर्धांगवायू होण्यात होते.

स्ट्रोक हा जागतिक पातळीवर वाढणारा गंभीर आजार आहे. दरवर्षी जगामध्ये ८ लाखापेक्षा अधिक लोकांना हा आजार उद्भवतो. त्याची लक्षणे तत्काळ ओळखणे तसेच त्वरित उपचार आवश्यक आहेत. 

जागतिक स्ट्रोक दिवस दरवर्षी २९ ऑक्टोबर रोजी साजरा केला जातो, ज्यामुळे लोकांना या प्राणघातक आजाराबद्दल जागरुकता मिळावी. महिला आणि पुरुषांमध्ये स्ट्रोक येण्यापूर्वी कोणत्या प्रकारची लक्षणे दिसतात ते जाणून घेऊया. 

ही आहेत स्ट्रोकची लक्षणे

1. ऐकू कमी येणे

2. दृष्टी कमी होणे

3. अचानक चक्कर येणे

4. तीव्र डोकेदुखी

स्ट्रोक कसा ओळखावा?

चेहरा : रुग्णाला हसायला सांगा. तो हसू शकतो की नाही ते पाहा.
हात : रुग्णाला दोन्ही हात वर करण्यास सांगा. तो हात उचलू शकत नाही का ते पाहा.
भाषण : रुग्णाला काहीतरी वाचण्यास सांगा. त्याच्या बोलण्यावर लक्ष ठेवा.
वेळ : वरील निरीक्षण संशयास्पद वाटल्यास ताबडतोब वैद्यकीय सल्ला घ्या.

Heart-Healthy Foods to keep you fit

 

Heart illnesses are one of the major causes of death around the globe. Though staying heart-healthy may seem difficult, it starts with small steps and your diet plays a major part in it. Changing your eating routine can help reduce the risk & even effects of heart diseases. Over the long haul, creating small changes in your diet can amount to a major contribution to your heart's wellbeing. A healthy eating routine with the right number of calories can be created by choosing the right heart-healthy foods.

Leafy Green Vegetables

Fresh leafy green vegetables like spinach, lettuce, broccoli, bok choy & kale are abundant in nutrients. Specifically, they're an extraordinary source of nutrient K, along with dietary nitrates. Across various studies, regular consumption of green leafy vegetables has proven to lower heart risks.

Fish & Fish Oil

Fish is a rich source of heart-helping omega-3 unsaturated fats and protein while being low in unhealthy fats. Fish is frequently prescribed to heart patients for their nutritional benefits. Include fats like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines, or tuna fish in your regular diet.

Berries

Berries are packed with phytonutrients and solvent fiber ideal for a healthy heart. A regular intake of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries can be a good way to ensure good health. They are loaded with cancer prevention agents called anthocyanins that reduce the effects of inflammation & oxidative stress.

Nuts

Nuts have proven to bring down blood cholesterol and are full of omega-3 unsaturated fats, nutrient E, magnesium, calcium, fiber, and heart-positive monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. They are also an incredible source of fiber and micronutrients like magnesium, copper, and manganese. Moreover, they help you feel full quickly, thus aiding portion control.

Dark Chocolate

Dark Cholocate is a tasty option for your heart's well-being. But the concentration of cocoa in the dark chocolate must be equal to or higher than 70%. Studies have shown dark chocolate to reduce the risk of heart diseases in individuals. It contains resveratrol and flavonoids which have proven benefits for the heart.

Fruits

Fruits like papaya, cantaloupe, oranges & more are an important part of a heart-healthy diet. They are rich in nutrients like beta-carotene, potassium, magnesium, fibers, necessary vitamins, folate & more. You can incorporate them into your diet in various ways from juices, smoothies, sundried fruits & more.

Soy & soy foods

Soy is a heart-healthy food right from the pod. Green soy, better known as edamame, is high in isoflavones, a sort of flavonoid that helps bring down cholesterol levels and strengthen your heart. Other soy products like tofu, soy milk or whole soy are also high in protein with heart-healthy minerals, fiber, and polyunsaturated fats. They also contain high levels of B-complex nutrients, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phytoestrogens.

Red Wine

Red Wine has proven to enhance the levels of high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol in the body. Red wine contains flavonoids called catechins, and an antioxidant called resveratrol. Flavonoids can help maintain the health of your veins and may assist with avoiding blood clumps. Resveratrol has also been shown to have other heart benefits. But moderation must be practised during consumption.

Staying heart healthy is important for everyone, especially considering the sedentary lifestyle that most of us lead today. Incorporating these heart-healthy foods in your daily diet can be the first step towards life-supporting heart health. To get better heart care & consult with top-notch heart specialists, SMBT heart hospital is the ideal place for you.

Best MDS courses for a successful career in dentistry

Dentistry has emerged as a preferable career choice for emerging medical professionals in the past few years. Dentistry caters to more aspects of the world than one. It includes intimate processes with the capacity for notable impact: that specialize in part of the body that impacts one's confidence, general health, and the way you're perceived by others, the face.

But in the fast-paced world, a simple bachelor's in dentistry won't do justice to your career. You need to specialize in your preferred branch of dentistry and gain an MDS for the same. This again raises a question of choice. With so many options, choosing the MDS course is a challenge. Here are a few courses that have immense career opportunities & a bright future. 

 Prosthodontics

Prosthodontists work as the architect of the dental remedy. Prosthodontics is a dental specialty that works towards the restoration & replacement of lost & damaged teeth. They often collaborate with different dental specialists, dentists, and fitness experts to better cater to the patient’s dental and oral fitness needs. They offer recovery of broken or lacking enamel through the usage of implant equipment and strategies together with dentures, implants, bridges, crowns, and veneers. 

 Periodontology

Periodontology is the specialty of dentistry concerned with studying & understanding the supporting structures of teeth & the conditions that might affect them. It is a dynamic career choice that consists of state-of-the-art remedy-making plans and remedy modalities starting from traditional to superior therapies. It is a completely unique department of dentistry with manifold and diverse career alternatives that fulfill the needs of a steady lifestyle. A career of periodontics is interesting and worthwhile.

Maxillofacial Surgery

It includes the diagnosis, surgical & adjunctive treatment of conditions involving functional & aesthetic aspects of tissues in the maxillofacial region. Maxillofacial surgeons are also known as oral surgeons & perform surgical procedures and associated processes at the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial areas to diagnose & treat diseases, injuries, or defects in the region. They also diagnose issues of the oral and maxillofacial areas. They carry out surgical procedures to enhance the characteristics or appearance of the face.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the alignment of the teeth & the two dental arches, viz. the maxilla & mandible. Orthodontists work to align the teeth with respect to the encircling soft tissues using braces or other orthopedic equipment for growth modification in children, or jaw surgical treatment in adults. Orthodontists work with patients to enhance the functioning of their jaws and teeth, achieve their preferred dental appearance and boost their self-confidence. They also deal with concerns regarding easy chewing & swallowing of food. Based on dental x-rays and dental scans, orthodontists determine what genuine changes are required to achieve a healthy oral structure to overcome oral problems.

Dentistry is a burgeoning field with a huge scope for a profitable career. Finishing an MDS can help you get an edge over others & become successful in your career. SMBT Dental Institute provides a number of MDS courses for students to choose from, thus preparing them for a lucrative career ahead.

Here’s how you can contribute to enhancing your immunity every day!

                                              

Your immunity is your first line of defense against any health problem. Higher immunity means low chances of catching any infection. A healthy immune acts as the initial barrier against any foreign invading particles entering the body like antigens. Even if a few particles enter the body, your immune system helps keep infections at bay by producing white blood cells & other proteins that destroy these foreign substances. 

Ever since the pandemic hit, it has become more important than ever to care for your immune system & stay fit. But to do that, you must take little effort every day. Here are a few tips that you can easily follow to keep your immunity high & vulnerability to diseases low.  

Eat Right & Hydrate Yourself

Your diet is primary when it comes to keeping your immunity high & rightfully so. So, ensure you eat right & have a balanced meal every day that ensures ample nutrition. Your diet must consist of all important elements including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes & more. This would make your diet high in essential micronutrients like Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E & more. Similarly, drinking an ample amount of water is equally important. This keeps you hydrated & fit all day long. Ensure you drink up to 4 liters of water throughout your day. 

Exercise to keep fit

Staying healthy isn't just about eating right, but also about how you expend the energy that food brings you. This is why it's important for you to exercise every day. Exercising aids your immune system making it healthy & keeping you fit. It also boosts overall circulation in the body making you feel active too. A routine of 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise is suggested on a daily basis. You don't always need to hit the gym to stay fit. A regular routine of brisk walking or running can still do the trick for you. 

De-stress to strengthen your immunity

Stress can aggravate & lower your immunity drastically. It triggers the immune system initiating a stress response which further suppresses the immune system, making you vulnerable to infections. It is thus important that you do enough to de-stress yourself. You can opt for regular practices like meditation, prayers, pranayama, or more to calm the mind & de-stress you. Mindful exercises & meditation help lower the heart rate of the body thus lowering anxiety. Regular exercising also helps reduce stress.

Get enough sleep every night

Your body requires ample rest regularly to keep you fit. That's why it's important that you get enough sleep every day. It's just as important as eating right. Lack of sleep can not only make you feel exhausted but also increase your vulnerability to infections caused by viruses & bacterias. On the contrary, ample sleep can help increase the number of T-cells in the body, better known as immunity cells. A minimum of 6-8 hours of sleep every night can work wonders in keeping you fit. 

Moderate your smoking & drinking habits

We would suggest that you give up on harmful habits like smoking & drinking altogether. But, if that isn't a possibility, we would suggest you moderate these habits so they don't hamper your health. Habits like smoking & drinking can potentially decrease your immunity making you prone to diseases. Also, they aggravate your immunity when you fall sick. So, it is highly important that you moderate such habits & leave them altogether if possible. 

Little efforts like these go a long way in helping you stay fit. We hope these help you stay fit. If you wish, you can also talk to your doctor regarding other things you can do, or get supplements prescribed that would help strengthen your immunity.

Take Care of Yourself as the weather changes

With the onset of the monsoon, the risk of diseases increases too. The moisture-laden atmosphere provides the perfect home for harmful bacterias & viruses to grow. At the same time, people have a lower immunity during this time, making them more vulnerable to diseases caused by these bacterias & viruses. With the current pandemic going on, the situation becomes scarier. During this time, a lower immunity can put you at a higher risk of getting affected by the coronavirus, thus risking your life.

That’s why it becomes important that you take care of yourself as the weather changes. Here are a few tips to help you out in doing that. 

• Be mindful of what you eat

Your diet plays a primary role when it comes to staying fit during the changing seasons. With a healthy dietary plan, you can ensure ample nutrition & hence better health. Prefer seasonal fruits & vegetables for better health care. Including vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli & green leafy vegetables will help enhance your immune system. Staying hydrated is another important part of a healthy diet. Besides drinking enough water, consume fruits & vegetables high in water content like melons, tomatoes, etc. 

• Vitamin C to the rescue

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can keep you safe from infections by enhancing your immunity during the changing seasons. It encourages the production of lymphocytes in the body and saves the body cells from free radical damage. This keeps you safe from any bacterial or viral diseases that come during the time. Your regular diet must be rich in Vitamin C & contain citrus fruits, berries, bell peppers, papayas, kiwis, and more.

• Invest in your daily hygiene

As the season changes, viral & bacterial infections are on a rise. That’s why perfect hygiene is a must. Bacterias & viruses proliferate due to the lack of hygiene and can cause diseases like cold & flu. Ever since the rise of the pandemic, daily hygiene becomes all the more important to stay fit. Remember to keep your hands clean & sanitize regularly. Also, sanitize your surroundings from time to time to ensure better hygiene.

• Incorporate exercise & rest in your routine

Both exercise & rest are equally important to lead a healthy life. Exercises enhancing your immunity making you resistant to seasonal diseases. You must incorporate at least 30 to 60 minutes of exercise into your daily routine. Besides the gym, you can rely on yoga, walking, or calisthenics for your daily exercise. Likewise, it’s important to give your body enough rest in order to keep it fit. Ensure a minimum of 7-8 hours of sleep every night in order to keep yourself fit & fine.

Your vigilance is your weapon

Besides everything else, your vigilance is what will prove the most important in your fight against the changing seasons. You need to be mindful of your health & keep an eye out for any changes that you might notice. Following the above tips will help you stay fit & stay away from infections that might put you at risk. And if you notice that your health is deteriorating, visit a doctor at the earliest & get a professional diagnosis done. After all, your prevention will prove to be your protection during this time.

5 Fad Diets to look out for!

                                              

The internet is brimming with easy weight loss tips & recipes that make weight loss look like a piece of cake. At times they become extremely popular amongst the masses. The reason for this can be any, whether it's a popular influencer advocating it on social media or a blogger singing its praises in their blog.

But more often than not, these fad diets do no more than cause rapid yet harmful weight loss to your body. Here are 5 such diets that do more harm than good when it comes to weight loss. 

• Liquid Diets

Liquid diets have been highly popular over time, whether it is the Cambridge diet or the Protein sparing modified fast. These diets focus on relying on liquid foods like smoothies on a daily basis. They suggest you consume less than 800 calories per day for up to 12 weeks. Though rapid weight loss is common in these diets due to lack of calories, a faster weight gain is seen post-diet. Many people even resort to binge-eating once the diets end.

• Starch Blockers

Starch blockers, also known as Carb blockers are supplements that claim a faster weight loss without a proper diet or exercise. These contain extracts that intervene with the complex carbohydrate-breaking enzyme called alpha-amylase. They slow down the enzyme messing with the digestion of the carbohydrates. Since they can't completely block complex carb absorption in the body, their weight loss effect is often minimal.

• Detoxes

Whether it's the DIY Detox water or the excessive water intake to pass out toxins from the body, the internet is filled with a number of detox diets. These diets offer you a quick weight loss recipe by apparently helping rid your body of the toxins. You are required to consume these detoxing liquids for up to 21 days and sometimes even suggested to give up solid foods entirely and resort to laxatives for a better cleanse. The problem with these diets is that even though they might seem to work initially since most of the weight loss is only the water in the body, they contain very low amounts of proteins. This can lead to muscle loss & even slow down your metabolism.

• Eating a single food

It is better known as 'mono eating' or the 'monostrophic' eating diet amongst many. The diet concentrates on eating only a single food for many days at an end. You can eat foods like potatoes, fruits or eggs and nothing else for several days. What it does is that it induces automatic weight loss as you get tired of eating the same food and involuntarily reduces your calorie intake. But, this diet can also devoid you of essential nutrients necessary for the healthy growth of the body. 

• Fat-burners

Much like the starch blockers, the fat-burners are also a set of supplements that a lot of gym freaks resort to for a faster weight loss. These burners often contain ingredients like high amounts of caffeine. Though they can cause a paced weight loss in many cases, the ingredients can cause damage to the body. In many cases, damage to the liver is seen in those who regularly consume fat burners.  

Internet diets, though sometimes useful are often based on more myths than facts. You need to be extremely careful when resorting to any diet for weight loss. Everyone has a different body and hence different nutritional requirements. What might work for one person, might not work for the other. The best bet, in this case, is to consult a dietician for an extensive weight loss plan consisting of both a successful diet and an exercise routine.

What can we do to avoid the third wave?

                      

India is among the worst-hit nations when it comes to the COVID crisis. With the lack of awareness among the masses, the situation became dire by the end of the second wave. But as the second wave passed and the country started to stand back on its feet, the threat of the third wave started looming over us. 

Though many have been vaccinated, a large population of the country still remains unvaccinated. In this case, the only solution to this impending doom is by taking efforts on a daily basis to avoid it.

Here's what you can do every day to avoid the third wave from striking the country.

Take your vaccination on time

This is the first & foremost important thing that you can do for your and your loved ones' well-being. Get your vaccination shots on time. And remember, a single vaccination doesn't make you immune to the disease. You need both vaccines to become completely immune. The vaccine is the only ideal solution to this problem.

Stay in if you can Though many of us have to go to work every day now, some still have the option to work from home. If you are one of those, then resort to staying home and avoid contact with others as much as possible. Besides work, even for shopping, try to shop online as far as possible to avoid going out to the maximum extent in order to ensure the well-being of you & your family.

Maintain preventive measures

Whether or not you are vaccinated, you can still spread the COVID virus and unintentionally hurt those you love. To avoid this, ensure you take all the necessary preventive measures. For example, when going to work, ensure double masking and practice social distancing from your colleagues. Also, ensure that you clean and sanitize your hands from time to time and avoid touching your face. 

Your sanitizer is your best friend

Your sanitizers should be your best friend, period. It's not always possible for you to wash your hands, but sanitizing is always the easier option. You must always keep a sanitizer on you, no matter whether you are at home or work. Keep sanitizing your hands from time to time. In fact, you should also sanitize your surroundings as often as possible. For instance, you can carry sanitizing wipes and sanitize your work desk before you get to work.

Motivate others to get vaccinated

It isn't unlikely for the older generations to have a hesitancy towards the vaccination. The fake news often spread by many on social media adds to this hesitancy. It is thus a duty for the rest of us to educate & motivate others to get vaccinated on time as they might be the next super spreaders. It is only by teamwork can we achieve herd immunity against this pandemic.

Your immunity matters

A slow metabolism can worsen your condition amidst the pandemic. It has been proven time & again that people with lower immunity are more likely to get affected by the virus. It is thus important that we take the right steps to enhance our immunity. Small steps that you can take to do this are eating healthily, prefer homemade food, and incorporate regular exercise in your daily routine. You can also take the suggestion from medical experts to stay safe in the pandemic.

We hope you stay in, stay safe, and do your best to avoid the third wave. It's the only way we can minimize the damage being caused by the ongoing COVID pandemic and keep ourselves as well as others safe.

What can you do now after getting fully vaccinated? Important facts to know

                                             

Are you fully vaccinated? Congratulations! You’ve taken an important step towards protecting yourself and the community from the COVID-19.

You can consider yourself “fully vaccinated” after at least two weeks since you received your last dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. But before you throw caution to the wind (or throw a party), it’s important to remember that COVID-19 is still spreading and the majority of Indians have yet to be vaccinated. Some precautions continue to be necessary to protect yourself and the people around you.

Here are some facts that you need to consider if you’re fully vaccinated:

• You can be maskless around other vaccinated people

While you cannot neglect wearing masks after getting the vaccine, there's one thing vaccinated people can do, which is they can take their masks off when they are present with other vaccine beneficiaries. However, it is important to remember that wearing masks is of utmost importance when accessing public transport or in a social gathering.

• No need for quarantine if you get exposed

Guidelines suggest that individuals who have been immunized against COVID-19, i.e. got two shots of the vaccine will no longer need to practice quarantine measures, including getting tested, isolating yourself from the crowd as a vaccinated person would be immunized against the virus.

• Visit unvaccinated groups, with precautions

There's a large section of people who still aren't vaccinated and may not accept the vaccine, leaving them unprotected against the virus. However, this doesn't mean people won't get to gather again. The vaccinated ones can visit or spend time with unvaccinated people, including kids and adults, visit friends and relatives and follow basic precautions, such as using a mask around high-risk people, frequent handwashing, and disinfection.

The list of activities you can do after getting the second dose comes off as happy news. That being said, to get the maximum protection from your COVID vaccine, it's pertinent right now to get both shots of the vaccine, at the correct time.
