Health

Osteoporosis, literally means "porous bones”. Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the loss of the normal bone density which results in the bones becoming porous, weak and fragile.

Osteoporosis occurs in both genders however, most commonly found in females given the fact that women generally have lower calcium levels, lower bone mass to start with, tend to live longer and focus less on their health and wellbeing.

Great emotional health comprises of the way you feel about yourself, your ability to manage your feelings and deal with challenges. It refers to the presence of positive characteristics such as a sense of peace, happiness, inner calmness, balance, and so on.

kidneys are two organs that filter impurities from the blood for excretion in the urine.

Each kidney weighs about 140g and is about 10 centimetres long in the average adult. The adrenal glands lie on top of the kidneys. Kidneys regulate the volume, composition and acidity of body fluids. Besides producing hormones, they regulate the production of red blood cells to prevent anaemia and form active vitamin D required for normal bone function.

INFERTILITY IN WOMEN:

Infertility affects 10 – 15% of all couples in reproductive age. Both genders experience anger, depression, anxiety, guilt, sense of loss and diminished self esteem etc due to the stress of non fulfillment of a wish for a child. But women are known to experience more emotional trauma in this regard, given their role as child bearers in our society and associated social stigma.

If you had a flat bike tyre and kept riding it whilst ignoring the fact that it required more air, what would happen?  Eventually, the tyre would be ruined and possibly you may also hurt yourself. You must remember that it’s not just bicycles that require regular maintenance (tune-ups). Almost everything requires some additional attention. You wouldn’t clean your bedroom or toilet once and expect it to be clean forever, would you?
