Avoid Self medication

By
Many people have a habit of taking medicines on their own. It’s a dangerous practice because we may not be aware of the side effects of these drugs.
It may not be necessary that if any medicines benefit one patient will benefit the other one. To give an example pain killer should not be taken without Doctors Prescription as it may cause severe damage to kidney or liver.
Today I encounter with the same case which is worth mentioning here. One intelligent person was taking pain killer for 7 days continuously without Doctors advise and laded with kidney damage.
In the same way Doctor has advise you medicine specially antibiotics for 5 days, in a particular doses follow it strictly. Please do not deviate from the given time and do not stop the medicine on your won before the course is complete as it may lead to development of resistance of micro organism to this medicine and in future the same medicine will not act.
When the medicine is prescribed 1 tab. 3 times a day means this medicine is active in the blood for 8 hours only.

Stay fit stay healthy !

Recommendation on Physical Activity

By
 Lack of physical activity increases your risk for heart attack and stroke and can contribute to obesity. On the other hand, regular physical activity helps to reduce blood pressure, control weight and reduce stress. For overall health benefits to the heart, lungs and circulation perform any moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity using the following guidelines of AHA (American Heart Association): Ø   Get the equivalent of at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity (2 hours and 30 minutes) each week. Ø   You can incorporate your weekly physical activity with 30 minutes a day on at least 5 days a week. Ø   Physical activity should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and preferably, it should be spread throughout the week. Ø   Include flexibility and stretching exercises. Ø   Include muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days each week.

Makers of quick-fix solutions or miracle cures prey on people with difficult health issues. So check and double-check sources before you commit to any treatment plan or spend any money on such information.
