For the past few months, the entire world has been facing a situation that is now being referred to as the “Apocalypse”. The entire world is going on lockdown. A disease that started in China a few months back has now made its way to every corner of the world.

At this moment it’s our responsibility to not only stay safe but to keep others around us safe. However, people are in a lot of confusion right now not knowing what is right and what is wrong. I have compiled a list of questions and answers that will help you stay aware of the facts and not pay heed to any misinformation.

Air pollution is a major cause of death and disease globally. And you will be surprised to know that air pollution is responsible for approximately 3.3 million premature deaths across the globe, says recent research.

If you are living in or nearby Delhi,  you must be equally concerned about the air pollution which has reached dangerous levels in the past few days. After several days of "Severe" air quality, now the level stands at "Very Poor".

Moringa- sounds fancy right? But this is not some new exotic vegetable or fruit that has been imported and has hit the market as the new trendy weight loss promoter. 

Moringa, also known as Moringa oleifera, drumstick tree, the miracle tree, the ben oil tree, or the horseradish tree is a plant which has been used for centuries because of its health benefits. The plant is native to the sub-Himalayan areas of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. 

Most of you must have heard about the ongoing controversy around litchis this year. If not here is the story- hundreds of children in Muzaffarpur (Bihar) suffered from an acute neurological condition which led to the death of more than 110 children. More than 400 hundred children were admitted to the hospitals owing to this disorder which has been termed as Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES)

We live in a world where eating healthy is no longer considered fashionable- A world where junk outlets increase proportionally to our obsession with a stick thin figure. Everyone at some point in their life thinks about losing weight but some of us take it to the extreme level, where before putting even a single bite in our mouth we mentally calculate it’s calorie content. 

Mental health is a raging issue nowadays. Mental health problems will contribute significantly to the global burden of disease in the 21st century. While adults are often affected by mental illness, surprisingly this issue is quite common even among kids.

Mental illness can affect anyone regardless of their age, gender, or sex. But it is an even more pressing issue among kids because we often do not take kids seriously. Ignoring your kid's feelings and assuming his concerns to be unimportant can make him lose confidence.

Postpartum depression in new mothers is often discussed. A newborn can bring you immense joy but sometimes this joy can turn to fear, anxiety, and a negative behaviour without you even realising. But the sad part is even though with a baby two new parents are born, still men are often ignored in the scenario.
