Reasons to know your blood group


Blood contains various factors, which determine its group or type. Depending on the group, individual may or may not be compatible with that of another. 

While it is generally known that the blood group typing of the donor and the recipient is a must before blood transfusion, there are everyday life situations in which we need to know our blood group. Before entering the wedlock it is advisable to check the blood group and RH type.

Some ailments such as ulcers in the alimentary canal may cause internal bleeding, needing blood transfusion.

Commuting day-to-day in the increasing pace of life, is becoming more and more risky. The accident rate has increased. Whether one is driving a vehicle or traveling in it or is a pedestrian crossing the road accident is the possibility.

"Your blood group/type is your own and does not change through out the life. It is a part of the identity".

How to save money at pharmacy store



Cold and flu season is most definitely upon us! Before you spend a small fortune on remedies at the pharmacy, read Jade de Souza's sneaky guide to how to save big on medicines.

Go Generic
Generic drugs are exact copies of their now patent-free pioneer counterparts. Generic medicinemanufacturers have no need to recoup the cost of research or marketing and are able to pass the saving on to you. Next time you’re at the chemist, ask for generic. The same applies for over-the-counter medicines.
Permanent Link to how to save money at pharmacy store

Discount chemists
The rise of the low-price chemist – able to buy products in bulk at a cheaper price – has taken the sting out of paying for both prescription and over-the-counter drugs. These establishments are located nearly everywhere and are worth the trip in savings.
Over the counter
When appropriate, visit your pharmacist before seeing your doctor, as they may be able to offer some readily available alternatives to relieve the symptoms of your problem such as cough medicine, pain relievers or topical creams.
 
Buy online
Working in a similar way to discount chemists, online chemists – with their lack of overheads – can afford to offer over-the-counter medications at lower prices.

Ask for a prescription
In some cases, you can save money by obtaining over-the-counter drugs on prescription. This is particularly good for health care card holders, who receive a discount on prescriptions, and those wanting to reach their safety net sooner.

Breast Milk Boosts the Baby's Immunity: A Research Finding

Permanent Link to Breast Milk Boosts the Baby's Immunity

A new research study has revealed that breast milk helps babies to grow up more resistant to food allergies, by regulating the levels of bacteria in their digestive ecosystem. The main factor is a component of breast milk called oligosaccharides, or HMO for short.
Permanent Link to Breast Milk Boosts the Baby's Immunity

The human body does not possess the enzymes to break down HMO, so it passes through intact to the large intestines. 

HMO then produces short-chain fatty acids which beneficial bacteria feed on, thus maintaining a healthy population of microbial in the infant's intestines. 

While medical experts are still digesting the research findings, the consensus is that in the short run breast milk boosts the baby's immunity against infections by harmful bacteria. In the long run, the baby grows up more resistant to food allergies and other chronic health reactions.

These results have been greeted with enthusiasm by the Sharjah Baby Friendly Emirate Campaign, which has been tirelessly raising awareness all year to nurture a more health-conscious society that is more sensitive to the needs of breastfeeding women.

Executive Committee Director of the Sharjah Baby Friendly Emirate Campaign, Dr Hessa Khalfan Al Ghazal, commented: "The most incredible take-away from this research is that breast milk is not only a healthy food in itself, but also maintains a healthy bacterial environment for digesting other foods.

This means even when mothers are introducing new foods to their babies, they can still breastfeed to make that transition smoother, rather than abruptly stopping breastfeeding completely."

The study further unearthed evidence suggesting that babies feeding on artificial milk do not enjoy the same protection or auto-regulatory effect in terms of gut bacteria. 

Dr Hessa Khalfan Al Ghazal of the Sharjah Baby Friendly Emirate Campaign elaborated on the implications of the research findings:

 "As the baby grows older and its digestive patterns change, the breast milk automatically regulates the bacterial levels to maintain a healthy balance that suits the baby's evolving needs. In sharp contrast, artificial milk cannot mimic the same benefits as breast milk. This is because formula promotes different levels of stomach flora in the bacterial ecosystem, which might not be in sync with the baby's digestive needs. We are empowering the Sharjah community with all this information, so that they can make an informed decision that benefits their babies, their families and the wider emirate as a whole." 


The Sharjah Baby Friendly Emirate Campaign was initiated in March 2012 under the generous patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Budoor bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), President of the Campaign and Honorary President of the Breastfeeding Friends Association.

The campaign encompasses four initiatives: Breastfeeding-Friendly Nurseries, Mother and Baby-Friendly Public Places, Mother-Friendly Workplaces and Baby-Friendly Health Facilities. The campaign is sponsored by Sharjah Islamic Bank.

Fitness Classes for Better Health

Permanent Link to Fitness Classes for Better Health

Have you gained weight due to the constant feasting that the party and the wedding season bring with it? But don’t fret, and don’t get down and start doing push-ups just yet. There are some quick, rigorous yet fun and effective ways to keep stubborn flab and stress at bay. Take your pick from these three. 



Build Body Muscle Fast


ZUMBA FITNESS 

Zumba, the current craze all over the world, is a Latin-inspired fitness dance. It was created by dancer and choreographer Alberto Perez in Colombia, during the 1990s. It combines beats of international music with party steps to create a great experience. The music genres include salsa, merengue, reggaeton, belly dancing, bhangra and hip hop. “Zumba is a fun option that not only burns calories, but also tones the lower body and mid-section,” explains Wanitha Ashok, a Bangalore-based fitness expert and body sculptor.

“You can also use instructional videos but Zumba fitness is best done in groups, as it can also be very entertaining,” says Santosh Kumar, grandmaster of the Australian Council of Fitness and founder of the Figurine Fitness group of gyms in Bangalore. “It is a clever workout and takes fun to a new level by blending so many styles of dancing into one routine. Also, it is a lot slower than normal dance aerobics and so is low impact as well.”

AQUA AEROBICS 
This is arguably the best fitness alternative in the summer, and is great for burning fat, improving your endurance levels and flexibility, and is good for your heart muscles and respiratory system.

“Working out in the water is much less stressful,” says Santosh. “But you need to enjoy being in the water for long periods— any exercise has to be done relentlessly to obtain the desired results.” 

Experts believe that a 30-minute aqua aerobics workout will help you burn 300 calories. A class is usually about 45 minutes long and will include warm-up, cool-down and stretching exercises followed by activities like jogging, kicking, jumping, squats, and dance movements.

BOLLYWOOD DANCE 

Does listening to any Bollywood item number make you want to shake a leg? Then Bollywood dancing could be just the thing for you. Your routine will involve emulating the theatrical movements of the stars, complete with the jhatkas, the fast hand movements, and the lunges. “Most fitness studios now offer a Bollywood dance workout,” says Santosh. “You never realise how hard you are working out if you are having fun. It keeps you on your feet and moving continuously and burning calories all the while.” It targets all the muscle groups in your body. 

“With Bollywood dancing, practise 5 to 10 minutes of yoga or deep breathing exercises, to release stress. Combine this with working out at the gym with weights. It is also important to do stretches to reduce stress or injury to the body,” adds Wanitha.
