Pain in the upper back is usually the result of poor posture, muscle overuse, or injury. Treatment may include home remedies, such as rest and gentle exercises, or possibly seeing a physical therapist. The upper back is the area between the base of the neck and the bottom of the ribcage. There are 12 bones that make up the upper back, which doctors call the thoracic spine. The first bone of the upper back begins at the base of the neck, and the 12th bone ends just below the ribcage. Upper back pain can appear anywhere between these bones.
Most people describe upper back pain as a burning or pulling sensation in one place, which may be the location of injury or strain. Common causes of upper back pain People can condition their muscles over time to be stronger or more enduring through exercises and weight training.
The reverse is also true. Humans may decondition their muscles over time by not using them correctly.
In some muscles, including back muscles, deconditioning is as easy as sitting at a desk with incorrect posture for too long. A person may do this while at work. Slouching in a chair over a desk may cause a loss of strength in the muscles. Over time, the weakening of muscles may lead to pain in the area as they experience strains or irritation.
When a person slouches, pressure from gravity and the body itself pushes on the spine, neck, discs, and ligaments. Over time, this pressure can lead to pain and other complications.
It is possible to condition the muscles to be stronger and more durable in most cases. This process starts with correcting the posture while sitting, and taking regular breaks from the desk to move around and stretch.
Traumatic injury A traumatic injury can also lead to back pain. This may be the result of situations that include:
car accidents slipping and falling work-related accidents lifting incorrectly working out too hard
Preventing upper back pain It may not be possible to prevent all causes of upper back pain, but there are some easy steps people can take that may avoid some of the more common causes. These include:
Take regular breaks from sitting or lying down to stretch and move different muscle groups. Take frequent breaks when working at a desk to stretch, so the muscles stay loose and strong. Take a few minutes to stretch the muscles or warm up the body before any activities. People who lift heavy objects should avoid twisting or lifting with their back. Have regular massages to help work out the tension of the muscles. Work with a physical therapist to strengthen weak muscles and keep pressure off the joints. Avoid wearing heavy backpacks or purses. Be conscious of posture at all times, walking upright and sitting correctly, using back supports if necessary.

If you’re a passionate yoga practitioner, you’ve probably noticed some yoga benefits—maybe you’re sleeping better or getting fewer colds or just feeling more relaxed and at ease. But if you’ve ever tried telling a newbie about the benefits of yoga, you might find that explanations like “It increases the flow of prana” or “It brings energy up your spine” fall on deaf or skeptical ears.
Researchers Are Catching On to Yoga’s Benefits As it happens, Western science is starting to provide some concrete clues as to how yoga works to improve health, heal aches and pains, and keep sickness at bay. Once you understand them, you’ll have even more motivation to step onto your mat, and you probably won’t feel so tongue-tied the next time someone wants Western proof. 1.Improves your flexibilityImproved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga
2. Builds muscle strength Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. Perfects your posture
3. Your head is like a bowling ball—big, round, and heavy. When it’s balanced directly over an erect spine, it takes much less work for your neck and back muscles to support it
4. Prevents cartilage and joint breakdown Each time you practice yoga, you take your joints through their full range of motion. This can help prevent degenerative arthritis or mitigate disability by “squeezing and soaking” areas of cartilage that normally aren’t used
5. Protects your spine Spinal disks—the shock absorbers between the vertebrae that can herniate and compress nerves—crave movement.
6. Betters your bone health It’s well documented that weight-bearing exercise strengthens bones and helps ward off osteoporosis
7. Increases your blood flow Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet.
8. Drains your lymphs and boosts immunity When you contract and stretch muscles, move organs around, and come in and out of yoga postures, you increase the drainage of lymph (a viscous fluid rich in immune cells)
9. Ups your heart rate
When you regularly get your heart rate into the aerobic range, you lower your risk of heart attack and can relieve depression.
10. Drops your blood pressure, Regulates your adrenal glands, Lowers blood sugar, Helps you focus, maintains balance, Improves nervous system.
11 Releases tension in your limbs Do you ever notice yourself holding the telephone or a steering wheel with a death grip or scrunching your face when staring at a computer screen? These unconscious habits can lead to chronic tension, muscle fatigue, and soreness in the wrists, arms, shoulders, neck, and face, which can increase stress and worsen your mood.
12 Helps you sleep deeper Stimulation is good, but too much of it taxes the nervous system. Yoga can provide relief from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
13 Boosts your immune system functionality
14 Gives your lungs room to breathe 15 Increases your self-esteem , Gives you inner strength, Makes you happier

Tackling stress daily is the key to prevent deaths of doctor ..
MANGALURU: Dr Rajesh Bhat, 49, an obstetrician and gynaecologist from Bhat’s Nursing Home, collapsed after a suspected cardiac arrest on the badminton court during one of the Mangaluru Premier League matches on Saturday. This incident is a wake up call for doctors who tend to ignore their own health. The healthcare profession in India, is one of the most stressful careers. Many senior doctors from the city felt that yearly health check-ups for doctors must be made mandatory.
Two years ago, survey conducted by IMA [Indian Medical Association] in Kerala, may doctors die due to cardio vascular diseases and cancer. Our doctors go out of the way to save patients. There is no fixed time and day for their work. Its very difficult to have work-life balance.
Dr Rajesh Bhat, 49, an obstetrician and gynaecologist from Bhat’s Nursing Home in Mangalore, collapsed after suspected cardiac arrest while playing badminton. This is the wakeup call for all doctors to get the regular health checkup in between their busy schedule. Please read more on Times of India, Mangalore edition.
Mothers should wait at least 12 months between giving birth and getting pregnant again, according to new research. This differs with the World Health Organization’s guidelines, which recommend women wait between 24 and 18 months. Smaller gaps between pregnancies can risk premature birth and infant mortality.
Women who have had a pregnancy loss, stillbirth, hemorrhage, or surgical birth may need to wait longer. Talk to a midwife or doctor for help timing the next pregnancy.
But getting pregnant too soon after giving birth can be risky for both mother and baby. Becoming pregnant again within a year of giving birth increases the chance that new baby will be born too soon, premature and low birth weight.
Certain nutrients such as calcium and iron must be replenished after delivery, and that takes about six months,” Botti explains. “In a short-order pregnancy, those mineral levels may be less than ideal.” He suggests eating a diet rich in calcium and iron (the RDA for pregnant women is 1,200 milligrams of calcium and 30 to 60 milligrams of elemental iron) and paying careful attention to taking prenatal vitamins. Consult with your caregiver about other nutritional supplements you might need.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the safest option is to wait 24 months before trying for another baby. The charity March of Dimes suggests waiting at least 18 months.
How to take care and what to eat if you become pregnant soon
Eat well, aim to eat a whenever you can. This means having:
At least five portions of fruits and vegetables daily. Fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juice all count.
Starchy foods (carbohydrates), such as bread, pasta and rice. Carbohydrates need to make up just over a third of what you eat. Choose wholegrain varieties rather than white, so you get plenty of fibre.
Daily servings of protein, such as fish, lean meat, eggs beans, nuts or pulses.
Dairy foods, such as milk, cheese and yoghurt.
Two portions of fish a week, at least one of which should be oily, such as salmon, sardines or mackerel.
Fish is full of protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for the development of your baby’s nervous system.
If you don’t like fish, you can get omega-3 fatty acids from other foods, such as nuts, seeds, soya products and green leafy vegetables. Eat dry fruits nuts like badam, walnuts, pista.
Good exercises for pregnancy include [Better to consult your doctor / Gyno ] Brisk Walking

We all have been advised not to eat eggs during summer. It is believed that eggs are hot in nature and can do more harm than good when consumed in summer. Eggs are a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamin A and multiple other nutrients. So are eggs really not good for your health if consumed in summer? Let’s find out the truth.
What do the experts say?
Doctors and experts say it’s a misconception. Though yes eggs are hot in nature but it’s a complete food. Eggs are rich in different nutrients including iron, calcium, phosphorous and multiple vitamins. People believe that eating eggs during summer can cause ingestion, which is also not true. In fact, eggs can help you cope with summer heat. The nutrient dense eggs help in maintaining the fluid balance in the body, which is essential during summer. Eggs also keep you energy level high and help prevent fatigue and weakness, which is very common in summer.

What is creatinine? Creatinine is a waste product that comes from the normal wear and tear on muscles of the body.Everyone has creatinine in their bloodstream.
What is a normal level of creatinine? That depends on your age, race, gender, and body size.
Can we know if kidneys are working properly by looking at how much creatinine is in blood? No. Looking at how much creatinine is in blood is not the best way to check kidney health.That’s because the level of creatinine in your blood is affected by your age, race, gender, and body size. (In other words, what’s considered “normal” depends on these factors.)The best way to know if your kidneys are working properly is by looking at your glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
GFR is a routine lab that can be found on your blood work report.GFR is a calculation that includes your creatinine, along with your age, gender, race, and weight.Your GFR number will help your healthcare provider know if you have kidney disease.You may have kidney disease if your GFR number is:
Below 60 for three months Above 60 with signs of kidney damage (having protein in the urine is a sign of kidney damage) Do I need any other tests? Yes, another important test to check kidney function is a urine test. You will be asked to pee into a clean cup called a specimen cup. Only about two tablespoons of urine is needed to do the test. The urine will be sent to a laboratory, where a test called an ACR (albumin-to-creatinine ratio) is done. An ACR shows whether you have a type of protein called albumin in your urine. A normal amount of albumin in your urine is less than 30 mg/g. Anything above 30 mg/g may mean you have kidney disease, even if your GFR number is above 60.
This test is also used to look at how likely it is that a person’s kidney disease will get worse.This is called risk for progression.Having high amounts of albumin points to a higher risk.
Are there any instances when creatinine alone can be used to determine kidney function? This is an important question.There is a difference between looking at creatinine in your bloodstream (called “serum creatinine”) and looking at creatinine in your urine (called “creatinine clearance”).These are two different lab tests.Serum creatinine is part of a routine lab report; creatinine clearance is not.
Creatinine clearance requires a timed urine sample.All the urine you have passed within a specific time period – usually 24-hours – is saved (collected) in a container and tested.The result shows how much creatinine has passed through your kidneys into your urine.It helps show how well your kidneys are removing the waste products from your blood.

Electricity is used to heat up a liquid, which either repells the insects, or masks your scent, making it harder for them to locate you and bite you.
Is It Safe To Use Mosquito Repellents?
Coming to the safety, these mosquito repellents are used widely, day after day and have become an indispensable part of our Good Night routine. Most of us have grown into adults snuggling to sleep sniffing to the slight aroma of mosquito repellents. What about those who are not yet present this world or are on their way – yes the reference here is to the expecting moms, newborns and infants! Mosquitoes can be really annoying and they can be very dangerous. Research has it that chemicals in mosquito repellents are not safe to be inhaled and can cause serious breathing problems, or trigger allergic reactions. In large doses, these chemicals can be fatal to inhale and may even cause cancer.
Is It Safe To Use Mosquito Repellents During Pregnancy
Mosquitoes can cause life-threatening diseases such as chikungunya, dengue and malaria. If these diseases are encountered during pregnancy, they can harm the fetus and health of the baby. When a repellent is directly applied to the skin in the form of cream or lotion, 5-10% of it gets directly absorbed into the blood stream and thus may reach the fetus. This is a very meagre amount and there are no side effects such as birth abnormalities due to this. However care should be taken because some people may be allergic to DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide), the very common active ingredient in repellents.
On the other hand, there has been a study which has linked use of the so-called safe DEET-based mosquito repellents in the first trimester and birth abnormality in male babies. Although the study is still in elementary stages, the condition called, Hypospadias (difficulty opening penis or foreskin) has been identified in male babies, whose mothers used repellents in the first three months of pregnancy.
Is It Safe To Use Mosquito Repellents with Babies and Infants?
The cheap and easily available mosquito coils emit a lot of smoke and an unpleasant smell. This smoke may lead to various respiratory disorders such as asthma and cough along with allergic reactions. Also since the doors and windows are closed during the night to prevent any nasty intruders and mosquitoes, the constantly burning coil may cause suffocation to young beings. Though many of them are safe for babies over 2 months of age, it is recommended not to use the same for babies less than 2 months. Infact, kids should not be exposed to mosquito repellents with more than 30% DEET.
If you are using mosquito coil or repellent liquid, spray.. and don’t want to use old-fashioned Mosquito Nets, please note the following points,
It always helps to use a product as per the instructions on the box
When you do use the repellent, make your baby sit or sleep in the other room
Do not sleep with the baby with the mosquito repellent burning all night
Make sure that you do not use a repellent more than once a day
Dress your baby in full sleeved, light color clothing as mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors
The easy to apply mosquito repellent creams are also available in the market. If you do use them, then use them on the clothes, and never on the skin
If using other mosquito repellents, do not spray them near their face
Also do not apply anything on their hands or the things such as teething rings which they are most likely to taste!
Cover the babies as much as possible
Opt for fragrance-free baby products – perfume attracts mosquitoes!
For babies, consider applying cream on the clothes, rather than on the skin as the chemicals may irritate their delicate skin
The most important point is to thoroughly wash your hands with soap after handling the repellents. Never ever ingest these!
I think babies or adults, it harms human being slowly. SO better to avoid using them and stay away from the coils.
How do we know our immune system is ineffective or run down?
Is immune optimization based solely on “boosting the immune system”?
Let’s look at these and other important questions that will deepen our understanding about our immune system…
Understanding immunity
Our body is exposed to many potential threats. The immune system is exposed to foods, air, water, dusts, pollens and microbes. By constantly responding to our external environment, our body can adjust and reach new set-points that allow us to ‘feel good in our bodies’ (also known as homeostasis).
The immune system is always working, often without producing any symptoms. The most important function of our immune system is to distinguish “self” from “non-self”. During its investigation, the immune system decides whether to expel foreign invaders from the body, destroy and remove them, or segregate them in order to lessen their harmful impact on the body. Once the potential threat is identified, a healthy immune system can respond by creating replications of itself and mobilizing to the affected area. Through the release of chemical mediators, inflammation occurs in the local area thereby allowing more immune cells to be called into action. Although these mechanisms are important to fight off infections, they are also the cause behind unpleasant symptoms such as sore throats and runny noses.
The way the immune system responds can either be balanced (the response is effective and proportional to the threat), hypersensitive (as in food and environmental allergies, including seasonal allergies), underactive (as in a lingering cold), overly reactive (as in H1N1 infection complications where inflammation goes out of control) or out of balanced (as in autoimmune disease where the immune system starts attacking the body). The effectiveness of the clean up job is of upmost importance because we feel better faster, and it allows the immune system to direct its attention to new potential threats.
When the body’s telling you something
There are many health conditions and symptoms that let us know that our immune system is dysfunctional. Those that are at the top of my list include:
Frequent colds and flu. Colds and flu that turn into deeper infections (eg lingering coughs, pneumonia and bronchitis) or other respiratory infections (eg sinus or ear infections). Allergies (food, seasonal, environmental). Herpes outbreaks (cold sores or shingles). Persistent fatigue. Candida yeast infections. Digestive disorders (eg celiac, irritable bowel syndrome). Inflammatory disorders (eg Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc…). Because our digestive tract and immune system are intricately linked, digestive disorders are among the leading causes of immune dysfunction. One of the most important lymphatic networks includes the aggregations of lymph tissue of the Peyer’s patches in the abdomen. The Peyer’s patches are developed primarily in childhood. For this reason food allergies and gut irritation (often seen in colicky children) can impair the development of this lymphoid organ. Later in life we maintain good immune-gut health mainly with healthy bowel movements, and the presence of good bacteria in our guts. ‘Good’ bacteria derived from cultured food sources, inoculate our digestive track thereby promoting better food absorption and outcompeting ‘bad’ bacteria. The good bacteria often work in tandem with the immune system. The lining of our digestive tract (from mouth to anus), known as the mucous membrane is also packed with antibodies that help identify and neutralize viruses and bacteria.
Colds and flu – a bad or good sign?
Having 1 to 2 colds or flu per year is actually a sign of a healthy immune system. You can think of the infections as a yearly tune-up.
The intensity and duration of symptoms during a given sickness provide important clues of immune system health status. Ideally, infections should bring symptoms that are intense but which have a short duration and resolve completely. Intense symptoms such as a sore throat, lots of mucous, a fever and even a strong, productive cough indicate that your immune system has the vitality to be mobilized into action and has the capacity to launch a full assault.
During flu infection, you may also feel lethargic, have body aches, feel fatigued and even feel that you cannot get out of bed for 1 or 2 days. These are not necessarily bad signs! Unless you have to go to work (recognizing that life can place high demands on some folks), the best thing is to stay home during that time to rest and sleep. Your immune system will be able to work more efficiently this way. Over a period of 3 to 5 days, the symptoms should slowly improve and completely resolve. No lingering sniffles, residual chronic coughs, and no ear or sinus infection. Many people, if they are able to mount a robust immune assault feel as good as new and for some maybe even better than before the infection. The cold or flu allowed the body to cleanse itself and the immune system becomes stronger to fight future infections. This is important especially considering the rise in “super” bugs and antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Never getting sick or when colds and flu lingers for many weeks are markers of a weakened immune system. On the other hand, the immune system can be hypersensitive. That is, it can over-react and cause intense symptoms to seemingly minor threats (e.g. pollen).
It is imperative to diagnose and treat the cause for the dysfunctional immune system. Here are the top causes:
Poor digestive health (lack of good bacteria in the digestive tract, and chronic constipation or diarrhea). Inflammatory conditions (eg Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, autoimmune disease, cancer, etc…). Even mild inflammation occurring in many chronic conditions can overtime weaken the immune system. Chronic viral infections (HIV, herpes, etc…). Poor diet especially excessive refined sugar and simple carbohydrate intake, or lack of whole foods (leading to deficiencies in vitamins, mineral and proteins). Excess work. Stress, excess exercise or lack of sleep. Especially if associated with chronically elevated cortisol levels. Work with your medical doctor or naturopathic doctor to correctly diagnose the causes behind your immune dysfunction.
Immune optimization
The way our body responds against a flu virus (or other microbes) is based on our immune system’s ability to fight the infections. It would make sense, therefore, to focus our efforts solely on boosting our immune system. Is it as simple as using natural remedies such as Echinacea or vitamin C that are commonly used for this purpose? Although these remedies can be helpful, for a more long-term and whole-body approach, adopt a plan that promotes both effective and balanced immune system function.

While the liver can combat hepatitis infection on its own in many cases, others become chronic infections that leave behind long-term health implications.
Here are certain facts about the ailment that many people don’t know about:
Symptoms can take weeks or months to emerge Hepatitis is often hard to detect as it manifests with mild flu-like symptoms – fatigue, fever, and body aches – which are mostly neglected by individuals. Other grave symptoms such as skin rashes, weight loss, and yellowing of skin, urine, and eyes (popularly termed as jaundice) may take weeks or months to emerge.
n some cases, symptoms could develop after years or not show any signs at all, especially in Hepatitis C. In the case of Hepatitis C and B, many infected people aren’t aware about their health status as the ailment is often asymptomatic.
No jaundice doesn’t mean no hepatitis
Hepatitis B and C cause cirrhosis and liver cancer, while A and E do not. If Hepattis A or E patients have a strong immune system, the ailment can be resolved without major medical treatment. The disease only becomes apparent if the liver is affected, after which the symptoms show up. The absence of yellow skin or jaundice does not mean there’s no Hepatitis. Currently, vaccines are available only for Hepatitis A and B.
Vaccinations may not always protect babies born to infected mothers Hepatitis B can be transmitted through blood, semen, and other body fluids, while hepatitis C only occurs through infected blood. Hepatitis B can be passed on from mother to child during birth, but not Hepatitis C. If a pregnant woman is infected, early vaccination could prevent the virus’s transmission to the new-born. Infants of infected mothers can be vaccinated immediately, thereby receiving antibodies to counter the infection. However, in 10% of the cases, the transmission may still occur if virus levels in the mother’s blood are already high. Therefore, infected pregnant mothers should be vaccinated early to prevent transmission to the new-born.
Contaminated water can spread Hepatitis A and E All hepatitis viruses don’t spread through the direct exchange of body fluids. Contaminated food or water can spread Hepatitis A and E. Drinking safe potable water while ensuring proper sanitation and hygienic conditions can help prevent types A and E. South-east Asia holds the highest Hepatitis incidence, with transmission through the fecal-oral route, mainly through contaminated water.
Delayed treatment can lead to liver cancer In all cases, proper care and regular check-ups remain essential. Delayed treatment can result in liver inflammation from chronic hepatitis, damaging the cells and leading to liver cancer. Although specific medicines can help control hepatitis, lifestyle changes like avoiding or curbing alcohol consumption are crucial for controlling the progression. In Hepatitis B and C, alcohol can worsen liver scarring and hasten the progression.

What Is a Kidney Cleanse? If you consume adequate fluids, which can take the form of foods such as fruits and vegetables as well as water and other liquids, the kidneys are self-cleansing.
A number of products, foods, or specialized diets (typically marketed under the term “kidney cleanse”) claim to detoxify the kidneys in order to promote healthy kidney function and prevent kidney stones. Kidney cleanses are also purported to help keep blood pressure in check, improve the functioning of the urinary tract and bladder, boost immunity, and clear toxins from the entire body. Other kidney cleanses emphasize certain foods, including:
Beet juice Watermelon Lemon juice Cranberry juice Pumpkin seeds Smoothies Ginger Turmeric Caring for Your Kidneys Here are several science-supported methods for caring for your kidneys and reducing your risk of kidney disease:
Avoid smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeine Maintain normal blood pressure and blood sugar levels Keep your cholesterol in check Drink enough water and other fluids Stay at a healthy weight
Drink More Water Water does so much more than quench your thirst. It regulates your body temperature, lubricates joints, aids digestion and nutrient absorption, and detoxifies your body by removing waste products (25Trusted Source).
Your body’s cells must continuously be repaired to function optimally and break down nutrients for your body to use as energy.
However, these processes release wastes — in the form of urea and carbon dioxide — which cause harm if allowed to build up in your blood (26Trusted Source).
Water transports these waste products, efficiently removing them through urination, breathing, or sweating. So staying properly hydrated is important for detoxification (27Trusted Source).
The adequate daily intake for water is 125 ounces (3.7 liters) for men and 91 ounces (2.7 liters) for women. You may need more or less depending on your diet, where you live, and your activity level (28).
Eat sulfur-containing foods. Foods high in sulfur, such as onions, broccoli, and garlic, enhance excretion of heavy metals like cadmium (61Trusted Source). Try out chlorella. Chlorella is a type of algae that has many nutritional benefits and may enhance the elimination of toxins like heavy metals, according to animal studies (62Trusted Source). Flavor dishes with cilantro. Cilantro enhances excretion of certain toxins, such as heavy metals like lead, and chemicals, including phthalates and insecticides (63Trusted Source, 64Trusted Source). Support glutathione. Eating sulfur-rich foods like eggs, broccoli, and garlic helps enhance the function of glutathione, a major antioxidant produced by your body that is heavily involved in detoxification (65Trusted Source). Switch to natural cleaning products. Choosing natural cleaning products like vinegar and baking soda over commercial cleaning agents can reduce your exposure to potentially toxic chemicals (66Trusted Source). Choose natural body care. Using natural deodorants, makeups, moisturizers, shampoos, and other personal care products can also reduce your exposure to chemicals
Lung detox food Ginger has been used for 2,500 years as a healing root. There are many benefits of eating ginger, including better lung health. Ginger helps to break down mucus, making it easier for your body to expel air. It also helps improve circulation to the lungs and reduces inflammation. Boil ginger in water with jaggery and drain . drink warm water to detox lungs.
