Fitness In Pregnancy.

Fitness in pregnancy depends on many things; The initial weight and fitness level at the time of pregnancy is one such important issue. In pregnancy a healthy weight gain is between 22- 24 lbs. http://pregnancy.about.com/od/weightgain/a/Pregnancy-Weight-Gain.html/
The breathing effort increases as the pregnancy proceeds. Therefore be careful with the program of fitness that you have undertaken. Asthmatics should consult a fitness physician for their guidance about medicines and the fitness program needs. The fitness coach should also co-ordinate the program with a physician. http://personalfitcoach.com/.
Changing to healthy lifestyle habits such as giving up smoking, using healthier, more nutritious diet plan, daily routine exercises, relaxation such as yoga, painting, music and reading also help improve fitness levels. The advantages are these lifestyle changes can continue post-pregnancy as the woman is trying to lose weight and is motivated. The healthy lifestyle changes will also help in child- rearing and fight post natal depression and stress which is very common in unfit individuals. http://meer-sexualitylifestyle.blogspot.com/2011/05/yoga-ultimate-holistic-lifestyle.html/

Depression is very common in pregnant women. It may be dormant pre-pregnancy and gets worst post natal if not diagnosed. A healthy lifestyle change and fitness program helps enormously to counter that. It is now being found out that daily fitness and exercise routine helps people overcome depression and stress. The level of drugs and expensive psychiatric treatments and support are reduced greatly.
A personal fitness coach, a caring ante-natal carer, whether obstetrician, family physician, nurse can help enormously a woman and indeed the family to prepare for a healthy pregnancy, its outcome and further nurturing of the newborn.Fitness in pregnancy is a holistic lifestyle change which must be encouraged in modern lifestyle to achieve better health outcomes.

Simple, cheap,effective water disinfection by SODIS method.

2010-09-21T23:31:00.000-07:00

Flood relief:Solar Disinfection of Water

Take normal used mineral water bottle,remove label,wash it with whatever contaminated water that is available,fill it with contaminated water,cap the bottle,put the bottle under sun for six hours,water is disinfected.Drink it as it is or after letting it cool a bit.

Too simple and too good to be true.But it is true.I have myself done it and got it tested.My wife Dr.Meher who is a qualified and experienced physician has checked it and approves it.It is a WHO/UNICEF approved method of disinfecting water being used normally by the poor in about 30 countries of Asia,Africa and Latin America ,including India, Indonesia and Brazil.By now millions of users are using it normally and routinely.Discovered rather late in 1980s,the process is being developed and marketed by a water research institute based in Switzerland called SODIS/AWEAG.The reader can go to their website or Wiki for verifying what I am saying and getting more details about it.

The disinfecting quality of sunlight has been widely known in our society for long.Old stored clothes are usually put in sunlight by mothers and grannies for removing odour and possible infections.Scientific basis of the efficacy and working of sunlight for water disinfection is now well established through research.Ultra-violet rays of certain wave length have been known to have disinfectant qualities.UV(320-450 nm) kills and immobilizes pathogens.UV disinfection system have been in the market for quite some time now and are a standard equipment but may cost a lot of money.Sun has the same UV light in the same required wavelength and it is free.

We need it today more than any body else.Water purification tablets and mineral water is being supplied.There are 20 million people who have been affected ,which is more than a whole country population of many countries.We are falling short of such supplies and should start popularising the solar method.A lot of used mineral water bottles should already be available in the system,as these have been supplied to the victims.Volunteers can collect such bottles from restaurants,hotels and clubs.Even new unfilled bottles can be procured .There is enough capacity in the country.

The need of the hour is that the media spread the word.Universities,volunteers and NGO get familiarized themselves and offer training and demonstration to the flood victims.Provincial and local governments and NDMA should adopt this method and popularize it among flood victims.Time is too short.Many flood victims are drinking contaminated water.Disease and death may follow, on a hitherto unknown scale,however used to we may have become to it.

Disaster Preparedness for families.

2010-06-09T21:09:00.000-07:00

Recently a cyclone known as PHET was to hit Karachi. It was considered a major threat as categorized in category 6 initially. There was a lot of anxiety especially amongst children who repeatedly asked questions in event of a direct hit. The American Red Cross has a link for families to develop a tool kit for emergency disaster relief. I think all families should develop this with their kids as it gives them a sense of control, preparedness and also make them more proactive towards handling calamities and disaster challenges. Maybe the information will help all kids to understand the many kinds of natural disasters and prepare in advance. Please pass this information in your neighborhood, family, friends and all your e mail and other contacts for better help.
Actress Simone has prepared the presentation . Please watch and develop.

Healing and Forgiveness!

2009-12-09T00:40:00.000-08:00

Nowadays most people especially young ones are engrossed in violent behaviour and this affects their whole life and perspective. This violent behaviour makes them unproductive in school, college and working life. If one learns to love and forgive , this violent behaviour causing so much destruction and pain can be eliminated.
Human biengs are made to forgive and practice compassion. Forgiveness creates a sense of tolerance and cultivates proactive behaviour. It is not easy to forgive and forget if you are continuously trained since childhood to defend yourself against some kind of slight, if you are not taught between the real insults and self, or culturally ingrained prejudices. Nowadays we take our religious practices as a shield or excuse for ceating rifts and fights. The human soul needs constant nurturing with love and forgiveness. Without this nurturing it shrinks and whithers like a wilted plant. Prayers and the practice of charity or giving, nurtures the soul and spirituality.
The body's health and well bieng is also dependant upon the health of your soul. If you are unforgiving, angry, at most times, your blood pressure will remain high, and over a period of time you will become hypertensive. Hypertension causes, heart disease, eye disease, kidney failure , stroke, paralysis and many complications. Anger causes violent interactions, affects relationships, leading to depression and other mental disorders. family life and health is affected. School and college grades are affected by ill health and one's future is affected by this.
Practicing Love and Forgiveness at an early age and learning to nurture your soul and build spirituality helps you to face crises and any difficult situation in any part of life.
Learn to cultivate Tolerance and practice Love and Forgiveness, no matter which faith or religion you belong to and live a healthier life.

What? Unwanted Pregnancy ?

2009-12-05T00:36:00.000-08:00

If you think you are pregnant and you do not want it then you need to do the following:
Consult a qualified doctor. Most male doctors will refer you to an obstetrician ( a doctor who deals in delivery and management of a pregnant woman) or a gynaecologist ( a doctor who deals in womens disease of the reproductive system). In most cases one doctor is qualified to deal in both Obstetrics and gynaecology. If you ar in the US , UK, Austaralia, or any European country, your GP or Family doctor will help you find the right service to deal with unwanted pregnancy.
In case of Pakistan as most cases are dealt in a clandenestine and secret way, you need to refer to a good doctor whom you trust or your family trusts. When that doctor refers you to any clinic, check their hygeine and sterilization levels. Always be prepared with prior knowledge to ask questions.
In Pakistan most deaths and diseases occur due to handling by untrained persons in unhygeinic conditions, so do not go to any shady outfit. Many doctors will do the service for a fee and through contacts.
Do not go for any pocedure after third month of pregnancy as it causes most complications .
Always take your partner into confidence and also some older more knowledgeable person.
It has been seen that prevention is better than cure, so always go to your family doctor on proper advice on contraception and avoid unwanted pregnancies.
In Pakistan, the Marie Stopes Society runs various clinics under Chota Gharana Scheme and reproductive health centers. The Greenstar network also offers contraception services through it's trained lady doctors who are available all over Pakistan.

So what iz AIDS?

2009-12-01T20:31:00.000-08:00

AIDS prevention and fight in Pakistan is sufferring, yes , sufferring from the same treatment that happened to Family Planning, Tuberculosis fight, Fights against Typhoid and Hepatitis!
We have no Effective Strategical Planning to fight any of these diseases!
World bank says that we can still contain the AIDS menace as our burden of disease is low but I seriously question this. In a country MAULED by CORRUPTION AT EVERY LEVEL, where does the funding go? In purchase orf fancy cars by the doctors, health secretariats' staff personnel, all those involved in funding ,getting the funds by INTERNATIONAL DONORS for AIDS CONTROL, so much so that even the Foreign Consultants, so called fair guys are involved in the racket since many years. Therefore the question that WHY IS AIDS NOT CONTROLLABLE IN PAKISTAN by http://DAWN.COM today.
If YOU SEE THE ARTICLE HIV AIDS TODAY in http://www.retrovirology.com/content/4/1/22 in Pakistan you will understand some of the problems in Pakistan but my basic question about the fight against AIDS remains about THE MORALLY AND SOCIALLY CORRUPT ELITE LA FIGHT AGAINST AID DAT IZ DA PROGRAM MANAGERS< EXECUTORS AND SO MANY OTHER ACTORS.
So GUYS AND GIRLZ WHAT IZ AIDS GO 2 :

We really need to fight these diseases with courage and spread awareness and help others. See half of some African states have a population infected with this deadly virus.In India the disease spread is fast and widespread. So join fight against AIDS NOW!
