  Sleep hygiene When we were young, our parents were very conscious about our sleep. They never let us stay up at night to do anything, including studying, they used to say – “There is no alternative to healthy sleep - to lead a healthy life . If we do not sleep properly, our head will not be well, which means the brain will not function properly. If the brain does not function properly, it means that the day is wasted”.  God has also designated night for rest and day for work.  But unfortunately, in the present era of extreme modernity, people have turned day into night – and night into day, we see every where!!   Desire is - I went to sleep, again - spent a few days without sleeping. Or having to take sleeping pills because you can't sleep, going to bed late, so getting up late the next day - none of this is healthy. It is not right to become dependent on sleeping pills because you are not sleeping. Said the expert - There is no substitute for adequate sleep t...

Mosquitoes - the little flying killers

Mosquitoes - the little flying killers


# Introduction to Mosquitoes --

My dengue fever made me curious about mosquitoes. After I recovered, I searched on Google and found out – the history of mosquitoes. I had forgotten what I had studied in school when I was young. Dengue fever made me remember it again. I realized again – ‘We are a very ignorant people’.

Mosquitoes are deadly creatures in our region. Different types of mosquitoes carry different types of germs. Anopheles, Aedes and Culex are the three types of mosquitoes that are most common in our country. They are easy to recognize by sight.

To live a healthy life, we must be aware of the factors that are around us that cause health problems.

Mosquitoes are carriers of various diseases, that is, they carry mosquito-borne viruses. Malaria is spread through the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Dengue fever and chikungunya fever are spread by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. And Culex mosquitoes spread filaria or gout disease.

Anopheles mosquitoes sit with their tails raised. Aedes and Culex mosquitoes do not raise their tails, but keep their bodies roughly parallel to the place where they sit. Aedes mosquitoes have stripes on their legs like tigers. Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day as well. Every year, many people are infected with mosquito-borne diseases. There is also dengue/chikungunya season.

# Birthplace or place of egg laying --

Anopheles mosquitoes lay their eggs in clean stagnant water in ponds or farms. Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs in small amounts of clean water accumulated in abandoned car tires, flower pots on the roof or on the balcony, abandoned coconut garlands, coconut shells, etc. And Culex mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant dirty water (such as dirty water from blocked drains).

It takes one to two weeks for a mosquito to develop from an egg into a mature mosquito. Mature mosquitoes live for about a week to a month.

# How the disease spreads --

When a mosquito bites a sick person, the germs in the blood also enter the mosquito's stomach. Then, within a few days, the germs multiply and enter the mosquito's saliva. Then, when this mosquito bites another healthy person, the germs in the mosquito's saliva enter the blood of the healthy person.

# Prevention methods -- To prevent mosquito-borne diseases –

·        First of all, mosquitoes should be killed by spraying mosquito repellent.

·        Secondly, measures should be taken so that mosquitoes cannot lay eggs in places where mosquitoes lay eggs. For example, stagnant water should be made to flow so that Anopheles and Culex mosquitoes cannot lay eggs. 

Dirty water from drains, ponds or other water bodies should be cleaned. Care should be taken to ensure that water does not stagnate in flower pots, coconut shells, soft drink cans, abandoned tires, etc. on and around the roof of the house for more than four to five days. Then there will be no place for Aedes mosquitoes to lay eggs. 

This cleanliness is not possible only through the government or city corporation. Awareness should be created in every neighborhood about this.

·        Thirdly - Mosquito nets should be used while sleeping. Apart from this, using sprays, mosquito coils and nets on doors and windows in the house can also help to get rid of mosquito bites. Young children should wear full-sleeved shirts or pants after evening.

We will not lose to mosquitoes, we will lose mosquitoes through awareness - to lead a healthy life.

Pandemic Corona, Influenza and Our Fears 21st Century's Pandemic - “Covid-19 Pandemic” When I was a child, I heard stories about the horrors of epidemics of some diseases including plague and smallpox etc. In this era, we experienced the ”Covid-19 pandemic”. Many days have passed and we are still surviving after largely defeating Covid-19. But we have not yet overcome the fear. Whenever I see a patient with a cold, the thought of staying away still comes to mind. Any disease is painful, but even then if that disease is contagious - then there is no point, we are completely terrified and lose our sense of direction. Everyone around us becomes more restless than the patient. I am telling the story of my experience during Corona ----- I had just recovered from influenza. It made me suffer a lot. But the fear of Corona surpassed all physical suffering. I myself got scared and sprayed sanitizer all over the house. Seeing that, my housekeeper fled on the pretext of illness. I also did no...

A few hours after birth, we do not understand clothes, shame, cold, heat, but we understand food. Whether we can look properly with our eyes open, but look for the food with closed eyes, look for mother's milk. God has given the demand - therefore He has given the rules.  No one can live without food. All living things have a process of food intake. This process starts from birth.

Re-eating is very bad, i.e. once a meal has been taken it is not advisable to eat anything again before it has been fully digested – it is v...
