It is difficult to find people who have not suffered from the problem of hair loss. Our daily lifestyle, diet, weather etc. all play a role behind hair loss. However, hair can fall naturally to a certain extent. Not all hair on our head grows. 90% of the hair grows normally and the remaining 10% is in the resting phase or unchanged.

 

Resting phase hairs are usually shed and the opposite is regrowth. According to experts, shedding around 100 hairs per day is normal. However, if more hair falls than this, it should be understood that more than 10 percent of hair has gone into the resting phase and hair loss is occurring. It can be caused by daily lifestyle, chronic illness or unhealthy eating habits. In such cases it is wise to consult a dermatologist or trichologist.

Again, while sunlight is good for hair, its harmful UV rays can cause hair loss. UV rays weaken and dry the hair, causing the hair to lose its natural luster and cause breakage. This increases the rate of hair loss almost twice as much as normal. Also, if you tie your hair too tightly, comb your hair while it is wet, or if you do not keep your hair clean or take care of it, it can cause it to fall out prematurely.

 

But currently, the most damaging to women's hair is not using the right cosmetic products on their hair. Like skin, hair types vary. If the shampoo is used for oily hair when the hair is dry, it will definitely not benefit the hair! So mild shampoos should be used and before buying an oil or shampoo one should check the ingredients to get better results. Better not to switch brands too often. One should always use the products of the brand which is of good quality and good for the hair.

 

Among the various cosmetic brands in the market, Parachute Advanced Exta Care's products are at the top of customers' preferences. Formulated with a unique blend of coconut oil, aloe vera, fenugreek and amlaki, Parachute Advanced Extra Care Anti Hairfall Oil is a unique hair care product. Besides, the oil bottle has a root applicator, with the help of which the oil reaches the roots to ensure the best hair care.

 

Many people, especially those who work in the media, give different chemicals or extra hits to their hair for added beauty. Frequent hair coloring or excessive use of chemicals is one of the causes of hair fall.

 

Another reason is not drying the hair with hot heat or strong wind. This can cause the hair to lose luster and prematurely fall out with cracks at the roots. Also, anxiety or stress can cause more hair loss than usual. Also, hair fall can be caused by side effects of medicines, hormonal imbalance, fungal infection or dandruff attack, any serious illness etc.

According to the BBC, low and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia are most likely to see the problem grow

In a report of the Federation. By 2035, obesity will cost the world more than $4,000 billion each year, according to an estimate of the financial cost of being overweight. bdnews news

The president of the World Obct Federation, Professor Louis Baur, says that the results of their survey are a warning to the countries of the world that they need to act now to avoid such a deterioration of the situation. OBCT Federation reports on children and adolescents

An alarming picture of the trend has emerged. It has been said that the level of childhood obesity in 2020 may double by 2035.

Professor Bauer said the obesity trend in the world's population is particularly worrying. Governments and policymakers worldwide must do all they can to avert the health risks and social and economic costs to young people by reviewing the root causes behind them.

The impact of obesity in the world's low-income countries has been highlighted in a report by the OBCT Federation. Nine of the 10 countries with the highest risk of obesity in the world are low- and middle-income; All of them are either from Asia or Africa.

The report cites processed foods, lack of physical exercise or exercise, poor policies in food supply and marketing, and underdeveloped systems of weight management and health education as factors behind obesity. It says that low-income countries cannot do much to curb the trend of extinction.

According to the OBCT Federation, rising obesity rates around the world will have a significant impact on the global economy. The annual loss is estimated at 3 percent of the world's total GDP and compares it to the financial loss of 2020 due to the impact of Covid. But physical

The report emphasizes not to blame overweight people in any way for obesity. The organization will present this report to the United Nations on Monday.

'Obese' is a medical term used to refer to people with high levels of body fat. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is used by the OBCT Federation to measure obesity. BMI is calculated by dividing an adult's body weight by their height.

In addition to mental health problems, suicide rates are increasing

Various negative aspects have been highlighted in various researches about giving cellphones to children. However, a recent report by the research institute Sapien Labs has revealed new information. It highlights that giving smartphones or devices in the hands of children is not only risky, but also that owning a cellphone at a young age increases children's virtual engagement, self-esteem and affects the tendency to commit suicide. Khabar Gizchina.

The report is based on data from 27,969 Generation Z (late 1990s and early 2000s) youth (aged 18-24) from 34 countries. It has also been noted that the mental health of young people in this age group begins to decline before the onset of the epidemic.

In 2021, Common Sense Media reports that teenagers aged 13-18 are spending an average of 8.4 hours per day on entertainment screens. Besides, those between the age of 8-12 years spend an average of 5.3 hours. Considering the potential impact of cellphones on children, experts are concerned.

According to a study by Sapien Labs, those between the ages of 18-24 who got their first cellphone (or tablet) at a relatively early age had better mental health than other children. Moreover, they are less prone to psychological problems, including suicidal thoughts, hostility towards others, and less realistic.

Cellphone use from childhood has increasingly negative effects on health later in life. The report also notes that the magnitude of this effect may be more negative for women.

 

According to the report, 60-70 percent of women whose children were given cellphones before the age of 10 had mental health problems in adulthood. Although men do not have a different immune system, they are less likely to suffer from such health problems. Among men who used cellphones before age 10, 45-50 percent experienced similar problems in old age. The report also shows that those who received cellphones relatively late in childhood are mentally healthy for longer.

Sapien Labs' data is based on ongoing surveys of global mental health related to a variety of lifestyles and experiences. The survey started in 2019. So 2010 data is missing here. But it does highlight where young adults are today and how much their mental health changes are related to cellphone use since childhood.

Cellphones may be responsible for a continuing downward trend in mental health among 18-24 year olds, the report suggests. Because before the Internet age, young people spent about 15,000 to 25,000 hours in direct communication and interaction with family, friends or acquaintances until the age of 18. Cellphones have revolutionized mobility. The current generation suffers from lack of direct communication skills. This results in them becoming isolated from society and may feel suicidal, the report said. Source: Merchant Message

Thyroid gland diseases and their treatment

 Jannatul Ferdous, 23 years old. Married for three years. Husband, family was going well, but after marriage, every woman's desire is a child. Despite many efforts, he was crushed by hope. Sadness set in, along with the mother-in-law's regret, hurtful words. Jannat is upset all the time. Her sadness did not escape her husband's attention. When he tried to please his wife in various ways but failed, he turned to the doctor. Various tests revealed that she was suffering from a thyroid hormone disorder, which was hypothyroidism or lack of thyroid hormones. Then the treatment started. Meanwhile, the mother-in-law sat down, saying that the grandmother had been diagnosed with a hormonal disorder, which meant that she would not have any more children. The emotional abuse of the wife and the attempt to remarry the son came down. In this situation, you can certainly understand the mental state of heaven? There are thousands of such paradises spread around us, whose cries do not reach our ears. We often see this problem in doctor's chambers. To solve this, we need to know a few things about thyroid hormones. Conventionally, hormonal disease refers to many types of hormonal diseases, because there are several hormones in our body, among which thyroid hormone is one of them. In front of the windpipe in our throat is a butterfly-shaped gland known as the thyroid gland. These glands secrete hormones called thyroxine T4 and tri-iodothyronine T3, which play an important role in our metabolism as well as physical and mental growth. Thyroid hormone secretion is controlled by a hormone called TSH, which comes from the pituitary gland in the brain. The secretion of TSH by the pituitary gland is controlled by the TSH hormone secreted by the hypothalamus. So if there is a problem in any one of these three glands, thyroid hormone disorders can occur. But in most cases thyroid gland problem is responsible.

The most common diseases of the thyroid gland are hypothyroidism, which means the production of hormones is reduced compared to the body's needs. Hyperthyroidism – production of more hormones than needed. Thyroiditis – Inflammation of the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodule-gland tumor, which can be benign (Begin) or malignant (Malignant). Besides, for any reason, the thyroid gland can become enlarged, which we call goiter or goitre. In this case there may or may not be hormonal variation. One of the causes of thyroid gland diseases is when auto-immunity or the body's immune system works against itself, in addition, iodine deficiency or excess, inflammation of the gland, or some medications can also cause this disease.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism or hormone deficiency are fatigue or lethargy, weight gain, body aches, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, excessive sleepiness, depression, irregular menstruation and excessive bleeding in women, even Infertility can also happen, which we told at the beginning of the story. Many people get watery, feet can swell. If the baby's thyroid gland is absent during pregnancy, or is not well developed, or does not have the ability to produce hormones, then the baby may be born with hypothyroidism. In this disease, the physical and mental growth of the child is greatly hindered and the child is stunted. The sooner treatment can be initiated through early diagnosis, the better the outcome.

The opposite occurs in hyperthyroidism, where excess hormones are produced. An imbalance in the body's own immune system as well as a tumor in the gland can cause this disease. The symptoms of this disease are, in spite of eating properly, body weight decreases day by day, chest tightness, excessive sweating, weakness, panting with little exertion, heat intolerance, restlessness, frequent bowel movements, irregular menstruation and even infertility in women. . Many people have enlarged eyes that bulge slightly forward of the orbit, which can lead to serious complications such as red eyes, watery eyes, pain, and even difficulty seeing things, such as double vision. If the thyroid gland is inflamed, mild or moderate fever, sore throat and the symptoms of hormone excess mentioned above may occur. If there is a tumor, the size of the thyroid gland will increase. Tumors can be single or multiple. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can occur due to excess hormone secretion from the tumor. However, the hormone may be normal or even low in some cases. Blood tests to diagnose the disease, TSH and thyroid hormones FT3, FT4 are seen in the blood. Thyroid ultrasonography and thyroid scan are done to look for problems with the structure and function of the gland. Apart from this, the type and nature of the disease is determined by the presence of certain antibodies. If there is a tumor, it should be examined with a needle (FNAC), is it a good or bad tumor? It is good to say that most thyroid tumors are curable. But it must be checked with a needle, because there is still some possibility of harm. Treatment should be determined according to the type of disease. If the hormone is low, the hormone has to be taken for life through medicine. If there is an excess of hormones, it is treated with medicine, radioiodine or surgery, but what stage of the disease will be treated will be decided by a specialist doctor, i.e. a hormone disease doctor, by looking at the level of the disease.
