     To most people, cure is better than prevention and that is one of the major problem in the world today. People spend more money on cure than on prevention . For example, people do not go for regular oral check ups and diagnosis with a dentist but only do so when they perceive that their is a problem with their teeth. 

PREVENTION TIPS 


Good Oral Hygiene 


Oral hygiene is a practice of embracing habits that sustains oral health and ignoring those that contribute to oral or dental diseases. This is so because the remains of food under the influence of the bacteria will become a subject of decay, rot and ferment.

The procedure of brushing your teeth should last for three minutes. The steps are broken down below :

Step A:- Dividing the teeth into four squares, take 30 seconds to thoroughly brush each square. 



Step B:- Hold the toothbrush at an angle of 45 degrees 


2) Eating a balanced diet 

3) limiting snacks between meals

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE Exercise benfits whole body as well as psyche. The most benefits found in cardiovascular system thats why exercise decreased morbidity, mortality, and symptoms, and reduce cardiac rehospitalization. Exercise increased the demand on myocardium improves oxygen utilization, dilates capillaries and improves  the delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles. Inside the cells  the number of mitochondria increases enhancing aerobic metabolism. Exercise tends to lower the resting heart rate and resultant increased diastolic time allows improved coronary blood flow.. Exercise lowers the blood pressure andreduce obesity, these two ...

ATHLETES AND RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA

By -
As we know athletes move throughout the world for their competition and training sessions. So they are encounterd by cold weather also and have to manage the risk of hypothermia because Cold weather facilitates the loss of body heat which can reduce body temperature. But it can managed by heat conservation or by increased heat production. Exercise and shivering increase metabolic heat production helping to offset body heat losses in the cold. Exercise increases peripheral blood flow facilitating heatloss, an effect that can persist for some time after exercise ceases. Prolonged exercises may lead to energy substrate depletion which compromise the maintenance of thermal balance during cold. The heat transfer coefficient is mainly influenced by ambient temprature, wind chill and clothing, when vasoconstrictor responses to cold are impaired body heat conservation declines. Chronic exertion impairs temperature control, when heavy physical activity in the cold is coupled with underfeedin...
