YOUR FOOD GUIDE TO FIGHT COVID-19

    The second wave of COVID-19 pandemic has made us susceptible to the life-threatening effects of the corona virus and such is its effect that people are focusing more on building immunity and strengthen body’s immune system to fight the deadly virus. Well it’s not that easy however, if one takes the right steps at the right time it can be instrumental for faster recovery from COVID-19.   According to experts the key to faster recovery is by modifying the diet and adding healthy and nutritious foods which can help in improving the slackening immunity.

    “Good nutrition helps your battered body build up its energy levels as fast as possible “says Dr Kavitha Fenn Arunkumar who is a Madurai based psychiatrist. Moreover, she recommends the intake of easy to digest food frequently rather than taking three big elaborate meals.

    So what are the things which are essential for the recovery from COVID-19?

    1.Say yes to protein rich foods –

    Protein helps in building muscles and repairs cell damage, which further helps in boosting your immunity. The reason why experts suggest increasing the intake of protein rich foods is because it helps in healing the cell damage caused due to COVID-19.

    Adding protein rich foods like fish, lean meat, nuts and seeds, legumes and pulses to your diet during or post COVID-19 helps in replenishing the lost nutrition. These protein rich foods are also a great source of omega 3 fatty acids that help in boosting metabolism thereby improving gut health.

    2. Vitamins should be your best friend –

     Adding fresh  fruits and veggies help in faster recovery, this is the reason why experts suggest to include them in the diet during any recovery. Adding fresh fruits and veggies rich in vitamins and antioxidants help in strengthening the body’s resistance to combat deadly virus attacks like COVID-19. The addition of Vitamin C and multivitamin rich fruits like oranges, mango, pineapple, lemons help in reviving lost nutrients, hydrates the body and helps in boosting respiratory system.

    3. Add soya to your diet–

    The addition of protein rich soy in your daily diet can help in healing and faster recovery post COVID-19. As per the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, it has been suggested that adding high protein soy based foods can help in boosting immunity naturally. Also going for a nutrient dense vegetarian diet can improve overall health and immunity, post COVID-19.

    4. Keep check on sugar intake –

     Apart from adding these healthy foods to your daily diet, you must keep a check on the intake of sugar and salt as they may lead to a spike in sugar levels or blood pressure levels, which eventually slows down the recovery process

    5. Hydrate yourself –

    During any sort of illness, dehydration and its associated challenges remain a major risk to our body. During such times, it becomes imperative to prioritize basic self-care, including drinking adequate fluids. One can also add lassi, coconut water or ORS during their COVID-19 recovery phase.

    Tuberculosis

    Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus) is a common, and in many cases lethal, infectious disease
    caused by various strains of mycobacteria, usually Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis usually attacks the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. It is spread through the air when people who have an active MTB
    infection cough, sneeze, or otherwise transmit their saliva through the air. Most infections in humans result in an
    asymptomatic, latent infection, and about one in ten latent infections eventually progress to active disease, which, if
    left untreated, kills more than 50% of those infected.
    The classic symptoms are a chronic cough with blood-tinged sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss (the last
    giving rise to the formerly prevalent colloquial term “consumption”). Infection of other organs causes a wide range
    of symptoms. Diagnosis relies on radiology (commonly chest X-rays), a tuberculin skin test, blood tests, as well as
    microscopic examination and microbiological culture of bodily fluids. Treatment is difficult and requires long
    courses of multiple antibiotics. Social contacts are also screened and treated if necessary. Antibiotic resistance is a
    growing problem in (extensively) multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. Prevention relies on screening programs and
    vaccination, usually with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine.
    One third of the world’s population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis, and new infections occur at a rate of about one per second.In 2007 there were an estimated 13.7 million chronic active cases, and in 2010 8.8 million new cases, and 1.45 million deaths, mostly in developing countries. The absolute number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2006 and new cases since 2002. In addition, more people in the developing world contract tuberculosis because their immune systems are more likely to be compromised due to
    higher rates of AIDS.

    The distribution of tuberculosis is not uniform across the globe; about 80% of the
    population in many Asian and African countries test positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5–10% of the U.S.
    population test positive.

    Risk factors
    There are a number factors that make people more susceptible to TB infections. Worldwide the most important of these is HIV with co-infection present in about 13% of cases. This is a particular problem in Sub-Saharan Africa
    where rates of HIV are high. Tuberculosis is closely linked to both overcrowding and malnutrition making it
    one of the principal diseases of poverty.
    Chronic lung disease is a risk factor with smoking more than 20
    cigarettes a day increasing the risk by two to four times and silicosis increasing the risk about 30 fold. Other disease states that increase the risk of developing tuberculosis include alcoholism and diabetes mellitus (threefold increase). Certain medications such as corticosteroids and Infliximab (an anti-αTNF monoclonal antibody) are
    becoming increasingly important risk factors, especially in the developed world.There is also a genetic susceptibility for which overall importance is still undefined.

    Transmission
    When people with active pulmonary TB cough, sneeze, speak, sing, or
    spit, they expel infectious aerosol droplets 0.5 to 5 µm in diameter. A
    single sneeze can release up to 40,000 droplets.[44] Each one of these
    droplets may transmit the disease, since the infectious dose of
    tuberculosis is very low and inhaling fewer than ten bacteria may cause
    an infection.

    Prevention
    Tuberculosis prevention and control efforts primarily rely on the vaccination of infants and the detection and appropriate treatment of active cases.The World Health Organization has achieved some success with improved
    treatment success and a small decrease in case numbers.
    Vaccines
    The only currently available vaccine as of 2021 is Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) which while effective against disseminated disease in childhood, confers inconsistent protection against pulmonary disease. It is the most
    widely used vaccine worldwide with more than 90% of children vaccinated. However the immunity that it induces, decreases after about ten years. As tuberculosis is uncommon in most of Canada, the United Kingdom
    and the United States, BCG is only administered to people at high risk. Part of the reason against the use of vaccine is that it makes the tuberculin skin test falsely positive and thus of no use in screening. A number of new vaccines are in development.
    Public health
    The World Health Organization (WHO) declared TB a global health emergency in 1993 and in 2006 the Stop TB Partnership developed a Global Plan to Stop Tuberculosis that aims to save 14 million lives between its launch and
    2015. A number of targets that they have set are not likely to be achieved by 2015 due to the increase in HIV
    associated tuberculosis and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis.
    Treatment
    Treatment for TB uses antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Effective TB treatment is difficult, due to the unusual structure and chemical composition of the mycobacterial cell wall, which makes many antibiotics ineffective and hinders the entry of drugs. The two antibiotics most commonly used are isoniazid and rifampicin and treatments can be
    prolonged. Latent TB treatment usually uses a single antibiotic, while active TB disease is best treated with
    combinations of several antibiotics, to reduce the risk of the bacteria developing antibiotic resistance. People with latent infections are treated to prevent them from progressing to active TB disease later in life.

    HEALTH IS WEALTH

    Health is wealth

    Ways to keep your body healthy

    A healthy body not only contributes to a more active, productive and fulfilling life, but can also add years to your life. If your body is healthy, your body has a strong immune system to combat health problems. Staying healthy physically can help you stay healthy emotionally too. Here are some of the ways to keep your body healthy.

    1. Eat healthy foods

    When you eat right, you not only feel better and have more energy, but you also provide your body with vital nutrients – protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin, minerals and fiber that maintain your body’s health. A nutrient-rich diet includes whole grains, fish, nuts, eggs, fat-free dairy foods such as yogurt and milk. Avoid processed and refined foods, which are typically loaded with saturated fats and sugar. These foods have little nutritional value and can cause your blood glucose levels to rise and then quickly drop, leaving you feeling tired.

    • Regular exercise

    Regular exercise is crucial to keeping your body healthy. Regular physical activity helps control

    your weight, strengthens your bones and muscles, improves your mood and overall mental health and may add extra years to your life. Regular exercise is very important in your day to day schedule.

    • Get enough sleep

    Sleep plays a vital role not only in your daily performance, but also in keeping your body healthy throughout your life. Sleep is necessary for the healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. It aids in balance of your body’s hormones and supports your immune system, which defends harmful substances, relies on adequate sleep to remain strong and function properly. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep a day. Sleep is very important in one’s life.

    • Drink water

    Water is an essential nutrient that makes up between 60-70 percent of your body. Every cell in your body. Every cell in your body needs water to function properly. Water maintains body temperature, moves nutrients and waste materials through your body, helps normalize blood pressure and lubricates and organs. Keeping well-hydrated is essential not only to your body’s health, but also to its survival. A good rule of thumb for estimating adequate daily water intake is to drink, in ounces, half your total body weight.

    silence: Menstruation Ahead

    Shhhhh…… “it’s that day of the month”.

    Menstruation or period has always been taboo. People don’t want to talk about it. It is a natural cycle. And that’s how a female body functions, doesn’t it?

    Taboos around menstruation have always explained it to be something to be kept hidden. Religious taboos on menstruation consider women on their periods as “impure”. It is weird how a normal body function can be considered impure.

    In Indian, it is not allowed to enter the temple for a woman on her period, or touch the pickle jar. This misogyny doesn’t just prevail in India, but all around the world in their unique ways. Women in Nepal are kept secluded in a menstruation hut, not allowed to enter the kitchen or touch anyone while they are on their periods. Indonesian women face similar issues in India and Nepal. The political boundaries couldn’t have succeeded to unite the nations with menstruation taboos.

    Misconceptions, cultural norms and silence has led to living in the dark, letting such taboos build up. People are not enough educated about it as they find it shameful. Many girls around the world don’t know about periods till they have them for the first time. Because of this lack of knowledge and social humiliation women around the world risk their lives. As the period is not talked about, women at some places use clothes to soak up their period blood; at times use the same cloth after washing because, either they feel shameful to buy a sanitary napkin or don’t have access to it.

    Even when these sanitary napkins or pads are bought, are wrapped around with newspapers and then put into a black polythene bag, just to ensure double safety so nobody sees it. It is treated as something nobody should find out. Even while asking for it women almost whisper so that nobody in the vicinity could hear about it as it has been taught to them it shouldn’t be talked about.

    We have even watched advertisements of sanitary pads on television, where a blue coloured liquid is poured on the pad just to show them how much the pad can soak. But the question here is- do women bleed blue? And the answer is an absolute no. Then why do the advertisements show so? It is just so that the viewers don’t feel gross. But shouldn’t the reality be shown as it is? These aspects also contribute to misconceptions and often confuse.

    Out of curiosity, boys in the class often take out sanitary napkins from female classmate’s bags. Lack of menstrual awareness often leads to period shaming, where a girl getting stained from period blood is shamed and mocked leading to humiliation. Not women but men and every human being should know about it. Schools should have awareness programs to aware the students about menstruation and menstrual hygiene. It should also be taught how a person on periods can be taken care of. Periods are a healthy and natural function of a women’s body.

    Not just women but also men should know about menstruation and menstrual hygiene. Schools should have awareness programs to aware the students about it. It should also be taught how a person on periods can be taken care of. There is nothing to be embarrassed about girl blood staining her dress, or having a sanitary napkin in her bag. Periods are a healthy and natural function of a women’s body.

    Plums – Poison For Dogs?


    Can Dogs Eat Plums? Do Plums Harm Dogs? All answers you will get in this article.

    Plums grow on large bushes or small trees and have beautiful white apple-shaped flowers. The fruit can be up to 15 cm round, and the colour varies from yellow to black. Each fruit seed contains toxins i.e. cyanogen, hydrogen cyanide, prunasin and amygdalin.


    When the semen (bone or bone) is consumed whole, the acids from the intestinal tract break down the upper layers and release the toxins into the bloodstream and distribute them throughout your dog’s body.
    If your dog suffers from plum poisoning, it will likely experience vomiting, tremors, and shortness of breath and can be fatal within an hour if not treated immediately.

    WHY DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT PLUMS?


    The major problem is with the bone. It stays in the middle of the plum. That is a very choking hazard but also it is pointy on both ends which means that if swallowed it can sometimes cause oesophagus, stomach or intestinal damage.
    If your dog takes a little bit of ripe plum, it will likely be fine. The pulp of a properly ripe plum is not poisonous to dogs of toxins, including cyanide. In addition to this, parts of the plum plant can also contain amygdalin, cyanogen and prunasin.

    WHAT TO DO IF PLUM CONSUMED BY YOUR DOGS?


    If you notice that your dog has eaten plums, try to find out how much it has eaten and what parts of the fruit, whether your dog has managed to eat a plum whole and only took a bit without it ingesting the plum kernel they are most likely to be fine.
    But if they had eaten some other parts of a plum plant and have eaten it in a bulk then most probably you will watch the symptoms listed below


    •Stomach problems
    •Tremors
    •Breathing difficulties
    •Vomiting

    If your dog is showing symptoms of plum poisoning, or if you suspect they have eaten a significant amount of plums, you need to call your veterinarian, who will likely want to check your dog for more signs of plum poisoning, and nitrite given via an IV drip may help that To remove the presence of cyanide from your dog’s.
    First to be sure to always remove the plum’s pit. Doing so is essential as the pit contains cyanogenic glycosides (cyanide) which is toxic. Also, it presents a choking hazard.


    CONCLUSION
    So now we can conclude that dogs may eat a Lil bit of plum but not in bulk. They can also not eat any part of the plum plant like leaves, stem , roots and even bark. However it may not seriously harm dogs if taken in a small amount but suggest you to keep your dogs away from the plums.
    Hope you all like this article. If your dog has ever eaten up plum then how could you manage that, tell me in the comments. Also, do share this article if you found it helpful.
    Thank You

    IS INDIA PREPARED FOR A POTENTIAL THIRD WAVE?

    Things India needs to do to negate the possible effects of COVID-19 Third wave

    India has recorded 26 million Covid-19 cases  which is second only to the US. The second wave of COVID-19  has overwhelmed the healthcare system with hospitals struggling to bear the pressure of oxygen shortage and treatment drugs. Experts believe the wave is getting diminished at the national level. However, people are more awry this time for a potential third wave of COVID-19 virus.

    The most important factor that will play the role whether or not India is getting hit by a third wave, is the rate of vaccination. Apart from this, let us look at other factors which can be instrumental to curb the effects of a third wave.

    1. Expansion of testing facilities

    Timely testing and isolation of COVID-19 patients is the key. Now-a-days, people who are feeling symptomatic to COVID-19 are not testing themselves due to the distance of testing facilities. Free testing for COVID-19( especially for the poor) can be beneficial as well.

    2.  Poor needs to be encouraged to seek medical advice

    It is a tendency which has been observed that seeking medical advice from doctors is proportional to the economic background of the people. Most of the patients won’t go and seek any medical advice from doctors or pharmacists thinking that would incur charges as well. Lack of health facilities in proximity and affordability are much bigger reasons for not seeking medical advice among the poor than the rich.  The fact that COVID-19 starts with a common symptoms of fever, cough and cold they think it can be managed well by self-medication rather than visiting a doctor after travelling a lot.

    3. Financial burden on the patients and their family

    There are many patients whose families are unable to pay the debt or the fees of the hospital with regard to the bed, facilities and treatment. According to the survey done by NSO it is estimated that 81% of hospitalization cases (excluding childbirth cases), the expenditure was met by family income or savings. 11% of such cases were financed with borrowing, 3.5% of these were met with contributions from friends and relatives and 0.4% required sale of physical assets.

    4. Cover of  Health Insurance

    According to the survey conducted by NSO, it is estimated that over three-fourth of hospitalization cases in India involved individuals who were not covered by a health expenditure insurance or scheme . Access to health insurance is correlated to incomes, and the share of hospitalization cases not covered by any kind of insurance increases from 68% among the richest 20% to 85.5% among the poorest 20%. Even in cases where health insurance existed, it did not cover the cost of the entire treatment. NSO survey shows that on an average, health insurance paid for only 10.2% of the medical expenditure and 9.1% of total expenditure (which includes cost of transporting patient as well as the cost of food, lodging, transport, etc.for the household) in cases which required hospitalization.

    Is it essential to understand yourself or not?

    ‘ no one in this world will understand me’ how can someone feel my pain? No one in this world will understand my situation?

    There are lots of these types of questions that you may ask yourself once in a lifetime, or you saw people who are asking those types of questions from others, I am not saying that putting these questions is wrong but can you really try to find out the answer of these questions or you are always busy in blaming others.

    When you blame someone for not understanding you? Will you realize that how many times you try to understand them. I think there is a chain of blaming in which we blame others for our situations and they blame us for their situations. Why we can’t understand that it is impossible to understand other people. In reality, no one will understand us completely, and also we can’t understand others completely.

    There is a reason behind that problem that no one in this world will completely know about other person,

    Take your example, people know about yourself only those things that you will tell them, or you know that what you will tell them,

    And you will never be told about yourself completely to other people no matter how close they are,

    So I think understanding yourself is a better idea to get rid of all these problems. Here are some ways that will help you to understand that how you will understand yourself. so let’s try to understand them one by one.

    1) when you are angry, sad, depressed lonely, etc try to spend some time with yourself and understand your emotional life. and when you feel cry, please cry, don’t hold emotions. try to express them.

    2) if you can understand yourself , your emotions you will definitely understand others feelings. At that time you are not have any expectation that somebody will understand you , so in this way your relations also become better.

    3) understand that we all have some suffering in our lives, so don’t try to give the burden of emotions to others. Try to understand your emotions just like a responsibility towards yourself.

    4) you know about yourself better than any other person, so if you have bad habit face them and get rid from them, and cheers yourself when you do something good.

    5) always try to boost your confidence, never compare yourself with others this is the work of society, so do your work.

    6) face all the struggles of your life with a warrior spirit, whatever the worst situation is you are the hero of your life.

    7) you are the only one who have capacity to uplift your life so, whenever there is failure will come face that failure, and give your best to fight for your life.

    8) whenever there is a mistakes will occur, don’t feel regret, but try to improve that mistakes because people only present not past. So don’t your time in regretting about something.

    9) motivate yourself, the mind is like a child, if you feel that this work is hard mind blindly on it. and never think about that work, so treat the mind like a teacher.

    10) try to be happy in this life, because the struggle is temporary.

    Now Black Fungus can be diagnosed early with a newly launched “DUTCH KIT”

    The efficacy of the Dutch Kit is quite similar like RTPCR for COVID-19, explains Dr. K Bhujang Shetty.

    Black fungus or mucormycosis is a fatal condition which is seen recently in most of the patients who are recovered from COVID-19.  Due to increase in number of patients affected by the deadly fungus, there is a severe shortage of  Amphotericin B (the drug which is required for it’s treatement).

    A doctor examines a COVID-19 patient for Black Fungus infection

    Due to it’s recent advent in the market, people are unaware of it’s symptoms and when they are diagnosed with Black fungus, most of the damage is being done. Hence, to prevent that to happen Narayana Nethralaya’s Chairman, Dr. K Bhujang Shetty and his team have come up with a rapid solution for mucormycosis which they call it as the ‘Dutch Kit’.

    According to Dr. Shetty, the efficacy of the Dutch kit is quite similar with RTPCR test of COVID-19.  “We are seeing lot of patients who gets panic and rush to the hospital even if they have a slight nose block. As such there is no rapid tool which can diagnose mucormycosis. Presently what we have is, it takes minimum 10 days to confirm. Since the fungi needs to be cultured in  lab before knowing the exact group. So we brought in this Dutch kit. As the name indicates, it is imported from The Netherlands. The kit as a whole efficiently detects fungal infection in 24 to 48 hours. All we need is the patient’s blood sample and lesion if possible. There are 5 main varieties of mucormycosis and it can be detected and differentiated easily through this method. And the accuracy is 100%” explains Dr. K Bhujang Shetty.

    Narayana Nethralaya has already tested the Dutch Kit in approximately 25 people who were doubtful of the fungal infection. Several hospitals are looking  for this kit, which can provide results quickly, with good efficacy and saves time as well. It has come as a big relief for people as they can check themselves whenever they are in doubt of the fungal infection after paying Rs- 7000 for the kit.

    Mucormycosis if left untreated or diagnosied at a later stage can prove fatal. Some patients are also getting panicked by the mere thought of Black fungus and that stress is leading to further complications. Recently, a patient named Usha Rani  got a severe headache one week after she tested negative for COVID-19. Being diabetic, she stressed about her symptoms and a mere fact that has been infected by COVID-19 earlier, she feared for Black fungus disease.

    “Black fungus was the first thought that crossed my mind. I panicked and rushed to the hospital. Even if it was not a black fungus, I wanted to hear it from the doctor. They mentioned about this imported kit and I immediately went for it. After waiting for 24 hours or so the hospital called and said I tested negative for fungal infection. I can’t explain the relief I felt at that moment. And surprisingly my headache vanished soon after. Looks like the thought of another infection pushed me into stress resulting in headache”, says a much relieved Usha Rani.

    UNGa President on terrorism and support from india.

    The UNGA President, Abdulla Shahid, who is Minister of Foreign Affairs For Maldives as of 2018 election and the 76th President of the UNGA (United Nation’s General Assembly) as of June 7. He earned 143 votes out of 191 ballots cast in the 193-member General Assembly , winning against former Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Dr Zalmai Rassoul, who got 48 votes.

    Abdulla Shahid has expressed confidence that discussions on way to eliminate international terrorism at UN expedite under his presidency. In the interaction with TOI, he said he’ll will urge members to find solutions to such pending issues as soon as possible.

    “The issue of terrorism is being discussed at a legal committee, Sixth committee and I’m sure this year will be increase in effort by many countries to expedite the matter. Of course, expected to any incoming President to clear most of the agenda items as expeditiously as possible, I would like a number of pending issues to be finalized. I’d urge members to conclude and find solution to such pending issues as soon as possible,” said Shahid 76th President of UNGA

    The Sixth committee is the primary forum for consideration of legal questions in the General Assembly, has been interminably discussing the comprehensive convention on international terrorism without any real progress.

    As Shahid acknowledged, India was among first countries to formally endorse Maldives’ India continued to publicly support Shahid.

    “We are grateful for that, especially when two of the Sarcc members were competing. It was very important for a candidate to have a clear position from India in the public. I thank PM Modi and Foreign minister S Jaishankar for it,” said Shahid.

    When asked about response on Covid-19 failing to meet the expectations of developing countries and their confidence in UN beginning to wane, Shahid said one of the main issue he promised to deal with is speedy supply of vaccination.

    “In my vision statement, I’ve outlined the issues that need urgent attention, Number one is the strategy to deal with Covid-19 and the new strains that are coming up. Then, of course , is the vaccine. Vaccination in the world had to be the first priority because no one is safe until everyone is safe. I can see a lot of expectations from the membership for this to happen. I’ll be working very closely with GA membership for increasing the speed of vaccination,” said Shahid.

    10 best things about life that everyone should know

    Life is itself a great lesson, but the tragedy is we are so engaged in solving the problems of life so we have no time to see the real game. and we never try to understand the game of life that was cleverly designed by God. If we will be focused on our life we found out that from birth to death person always stuck between right and wrong, I am not saying that we are always wrong but can we try even one time to find out the ‘why’ behind every one single problem.

    In this post, we try to point out some problems of life with the help of the 10 best things about life.

    1) we all know that behind every single problem of our life. there is some ‘why‘ but how many times we question ourselves and will try to find out that, no we are busy, but we have time to be depressed.

    2) we all know that if there is a problem there is a solution to that particular problem. but how many times we try to find out the solution instead of being stressed by the problems and busy blaming God that why they choose us for this problem.

    3) when we have questions or doubts related to ourselves, we know that we have the answer but also with that we always try to get the answer from others, but with that answer, we are not even satisfied.

    4) life is designed just like a game by God. and if there is a game there are some rules, and if we want to live life fully, we have to follow the rules of life whatever we are happy with them or not.

    5) life is not a path of roses for anyone. So don’t increase your imagination about life. from history till now, life is a struggle for everyone who will come on this planet. So learn to enjoy your struggle and do work hard.

    6) life has some universal rules like if you want to achieve something you have to made sacrifices. so don’t get emotional when there is a demand for some sacrifices.

    7) Be happy in your life, whatever the conditions are, try to be the happiest person in this world. Being sad or depressed will not get something to you. so why are you sad? Be happy and enjoy the struggle.

    8) To get inspiration from someone is ok but don’t follow anyone blindly, learn lessons about success and failures from others but try to apply them in your life.

    9) if your a zero don’t get depressed, do work hard, and try to become one, but at least try and change your current situation. Because you are the only one who can change your condition. No one else can do that without your efforts.

    10) and we all know about all of these above points but can we follow them in our lives, very few people follow, in reality, we are a good adviser but not a good follower. so try to follow not all but at least some rules in the life .

    These are some points that I discussed hope so this will help you.

    Why relations is important in our life

    Relations are the pillars of life I think nobody in this world is happy without any connections or having someone, the relation is a type of bond between the two-person they may be parents and their child, maybe husband and wife, sister and brother, or maybe the two friends. We care about them, love them, and pampered them from all difficulties. And pray for their happiness.

    Relations are not only in the human species but other species also feel that connection, when you see the other species of animals you can easily see the connection between them. And this is one of the best things that make all of us different from the machines. No person in the world does not have any relations. If there is any person who does not have any relations by blood from any tragedy they may have lots of friends. But no one is without relations.

    But now, we are facing that somehow all the relations lack the real connections nowadays, and gradually all the relations become a type of formality for the people. Who they have to continue anyhow as possible as, there are lots of survey or researches will take place in different medical Institute to find out the importance of relations in individual life. And the result will amaze you that those who have better relations with others have a long life period as compared to those who don’t have better relations.

    I am not saying that everyone has always good relations with others. but at least we will give some effort towards them, we never try to understand the importance of relations in our life but now there are so many crises that will directly put figure towards that there is a lack of real connection in our life. There are lots of people who suffer from mental health problems in this world. We understand that some mental disease is not curable but at least we try to cure those people who are suffered from depressions, anxiety, and stress, etc.

    When we are talking about mental health problems, try to see the health report of previous years people, and pay attention towards the people from villages, you will find out that they not are only happy but also have a long and healthy life span.so there is something that we lack in our life.

    Problems that will develop after lack of connection in relations.

    1) there are lots of people suffering from problems like anxiety, stress, and depressions nowadays due to a lack of sharing their pain, thoughts, and feelings with the surrounding people.

    2) there are a huge amount of problems will develop with the youngsters, they distracted from their paths. Even the friends know about their problems but they have no guts to share their life problems with their parents.

    This problem is not only with the youngsters, but lots of people are suffered from different problems but they can’t share these problems with their loved ones. And when they share their problems with some strangers sometimes problems of taking advantage of that victims also takes place. So the person lacks the confidence of believing in someone.

    3) every day there is news of suicide that will appear on the tv screen and the amazing thing is that nobody knows about the reason behind the suicide, not even the family.

    4) nowadays, all people want to be happy so the question is why they don’t be happy in their life. We are human. We have not required relations for the photo frames but need a happy life.

    Through this post, I only point out one of the problems of society, not condemn someone to so don’t take it personally.

    How can anyone easily move on in their life

    There are thousands of people in the world that are suffering from this problem. This is not problem that is related to the particular person but I think this is real problem we are facing now.

    When we are talking about the move on first thought came into our mind that from the relationship but it is not true ‘move on’ means going forward from the present situations and the situation, maybe whatever for example, someone wants to move on from their failure, from their toxic relationship or any other problem. But whatever the dilemma move on is very important if you don’t want to waste your time. And you are the only ones who have the power to move from the present situations.

    So in this post, we focus on some points that will help to move on in your life from the present circumstance.

    when you are in any of this type of conditions like a breakup, career failure, or any other problem that trapped you in the past and not allow you to move with the present first of all, take some time and try to recognize yourself and understand your pain because no one will feel the condition of yourself, so try to understand it. You are the only one who will change yourself. So self-motivation is a very important thing in this phase of life and you have to try to maintain it, whatever the situation is.

    2)Develop new habits

    when you are suffering, you have to change your surrounding situation so that your mind has some distraction from the past feelings, for these, you should try to develop new habits like reading books, meeting new people or try to make one new memory per day. This is the only way when you get rid of the past sufferings.

    3) Enjoy your own company

    If you are the one who doesn’t like to meet new people so there is no compulsion that you have to meet new people. You can enjoy your own company tries to learn more about yourself, your habits, your goods and bad if you are doing the job and have lacking time so you can do this for only 1 hour . but do something that will motivate you, so that you become happy in this present situation.

    4) learn some skills

    If you have some spare time you can easily use it and try to learn some new skills, that will not only distract you from overthinking but also help you to enjoy various skills. there are lots of things that you will learn like painting, sketching, pottery, writing reading, learn a new language, etc lots of things that not only help you to learn some new things but also activate your mind.

    5) avoid overthinking

    Overthinking is just like a coupon that we all get after having a problem .there is a chance that we can forget the past situation but overthink never turned this to happen. so first try to avoid overthinking as much as possible. But for avoiding it you also have aware that you are overthinking so first of all try to know that when you are overthinking and that is not necessary .so at least try to avoid it.

    Here are some best points that will help you to move on in your life and through these you can also learn some new ideas about how you can avoid being trapped in the past.
