Sleep well ........................delete if u don't have sleep problem.............Alok

Too little sleep affects our work, our activities, even our sex lives. These tips from WebMD can help you sleep like a baby at night.But excess of it also is equally harmful. 

 

It's Sleep Week!

Don't build up a sleep debt. Ongoing sleep deprivation can impair you as much as a six-pack of beer.

Power Your Day

Take a nap. A 40-minute snooze in the middle of a work day can pump up your energy.

Pregnant Pause

Sleep safe during pregnancy. Lying on your left side gives you and your baby the best blood flow.

The Better Sleep Diet

Don't gorge before bed. Good shut-eye foods: milk, tuna, eggs, and peaches.

Sleep Rituals

Cue your body that it's time for sleep with a relaxing ritual. Try a hot bath, aromatherapy, or meditation.

Room for Sleep

Make your bedroom a sleep haven. Keep temperatures moderate, use blinds or shades for blocking light, and remove the laptop or TV.

Tired People Eat More

Cut 6% of your daily calorie intake by sleeping eight hours a night instead of seven.

Smoke Out

Restrict smoking before bedtime. Cigarettes wake you up just like caffeine. Better yet, quit.

Heartburn Help

A wedge pillow can keep your head elevated and bring sweet relief from nighttime heartburn.

Take a Bed Break

Get out of bed if you can't sleep -don't stare at the clock. Read or watch TV until you feel tired.

Nightcap No-No

A bottle of wine may conk you out, but your sleep won't be restful. Finish imbibing three hours before bed for a satisfying snooze.

Guard Your Heart

Get a full 8 hours of sleep. Catching only 6 hours of sleep ups your risk of high blood pressure by 70%.

Plan Early

And sleep better at night. Make your next day's to-do list in the afternoon so worries don't creep into bed.

Talk Yourself to Sleep

Try talk therapy to fight insomnia. It gets better results than sleeping pills.

Boost Your Sex Drive

Take a nap. Tired people have lower libido. Want more sex? Get more sleep.

Dream Diet

Sleep controls appetite hormones. Get to bed and start your diet.

Do Not Disturb

Put traveler's insomnia to rest. Pack a tiny battery-operated fan -- to create white noise.

Out Like a Light?

You may be overtired. Most people need 5 minutes or more to fall asleep.

Give Dad the Gift of Rest

Let Dad sleep in on Father's Day. On average, men get fewer than 7 hours a night.

Bedtime Medicine

Getting a good night's rest may reduce your long-term risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

Find a Midnight Oasis

Bring romance and good sleep back to your bedroom. Clear out laundry, TV, and kids' toys.

Give Teens Some ZZZs

The sun's up but your teens aren't? Teens need nearly 10 hours of sleep every day.

Sleepy & Stuffy

No sleeping beauty wants a stuffy nose at bedtime. A saline nasal spray is an easy fix.

Nix Late Naps

No matter how tired, don't nap after 3 p.m. Late naps make it harder to fall asleep at night.

Avocados & Sleep

Can't sleep? Reach for an avocado. They contain tryptophan, a sleep-promoting substance.

Jump on It

Exercise early in the day, and you'll sleep better. Nix workouts too close to bedtime.

My article on sex education......must read and send ur comments.....Alok

IMP : Note with right diagonisis and treatment most sexual and relationships can be cured/ repaired/corrected. But the person should be ready and willing and cooperative. With psychologists one may have to have several sittings as they dont get path lab report for mental conditions. Have patience, faith and give cooperation.
 
Dear All,
( Parents, Teacher, Doctors, divorce specialists, elders and adults to be married and married)
Namaskar.
 
Pl. note that I am the only non medico / non mental health professional accpted as  life member in Council of sex Education and parenthood International. It is a very august body of leading sexologist,psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, Urologists,andrologists etc..Dr Prakash Kothari, Dr M C Vatsa, Dr Rupin Shah, top of the line doctors are members here.
 
I have guided and helped  many  married and about to be married purely as hon. social hobby/ responsibility.
 
Normally there r various reasons of facing difficulties in marriage specially of just married like:
  1. Dowry/ dahej
  2. misbehaviour of someone during marriage ( like causing insult/ hurt)
  3. old relations which haunts
  4. expectations not meeting etc etc

And  normally all focus is on above issues  where as there can be other  hidden undisclosed issues too like :

 

5.Relationships can be in deep waters due to sexual difficulties but for years one / both keep suffering without coming out in open. So under lining factor can be something else of rift but actual fight will take place for other reasons. Let us in brief understand the problems:

 

A: Organic / Physiological several reasons can affect a good performance ( long sickness ,addictions, long fatigue, low testosterone, high old  BP, high old diabetes, etc etc.

 

B. Psychogenic: Past, myths ( like virginity : during talk with a disturbed friend who had just married I casually mentioned / explained that on first night bleeding may not take place due to several reason like girl was sportswoman, cyclist, may have inserted finger etc etc then hymen may have ruptured accidentally and he left his all misconceptions against his wife and became happy husband) , misconceptions, fear ( of pain, getting caught etc etc), hatred, commitment to other person, sever untreated depression  etc.

 

If person has difficulty in arousal, erection or performance then one may avoid / not enjoy physical relations.And then can distance with partner on bogus grounds as he/ she can not come out with facts on such issues as there is a lot of stigma/ shyness/ fear  to discuss such issues.

 

If person has very good experience with earlier partner and not so good with new one then also he may become dissatisfied and which can be seen in his / her behaviour.

 

Ex may be longing for old partner or have  guilt or may be longing for good sex( experienced earlier as lady who is proffessional or already married or divorced  can be a better satisfying then a new shy inexperienced wife as she does not know all tantra).Unfortunately  some times it is ulta too where if a good virgin lady takes extra interest or shows some extra  knowledge then too husbands doubt her though it may be due her having some good knowledgeable friend, have read some good scientific books on tantra/ kam , attended some seminar ( I attended first such educative seminar some where around in 1976 ( I was bachlor and 21 yrs) organised by my very bold and dynamic college  princial Dr Kohli (N M college) where Dr Prakash Kothari demolised all myths and misconception in the minds of students and lecurers of college, and Bhaidas hall was over full) ( even after 30 yrs do u hear of such seminars for youth???). Education ministry, parents, teachers wake up. 

 

A newly wed lady being new  may be in pain and has to use cream/ zylocaine besides husband has to love , respect, give comfort, give confidence ( for future security) so she becomes relexed/ wet. But idiot husband may think she is avoiding. Etc etc .ande may further drift. If u keep her under shaken confidence then how can she be aroused and parnering? So I feel doctors, elder women in house must  question about physical relationship  and guide new couple and better take some help from qualified proffessionals. Two best organisation which I know of in Mumbai r Council of Sex education and parenthood Int. and FPI ( Family Planning Association of India), KEM hospital  whose memebrs are competeant to do proper counseling/ treatment. However two important caution here :

1. A lady should never allow profeessional to examine beyond a reasonable stage without the presence of a spouse/ another matured lady.

2. You must cross check all info on net / books at FPI , ask lot of questions etc..and understand where u r being led.

Proffessiionals / close senior relatives must further ask:  how long they had physical relations. How was their experience and satisfaction. How much they long for each other to be close, fiddling, foreplay etc etc. For man there is always fear of erection, its size ( which most often does not matter) premature ejaculation ( for both reasons psycho or physical disabilities), impotancy, etc etc. For both or one there may be reservation about conceiving ( now a days biggest hurdle is they r carrier minded , want to earn more for bigger better houes, we have spolilt the psyche of women by saying they need not be  maid after good education/ career). 

 

If there is a lack of satisfaction due to any of above reasons and they ( due to nature of our society) are likely to not likely to discuss this/ understand this. And one who can not understand can never seek help and finally will keep drifting from each other and or keep suffering silently life time. Many a times cause of discord is physical relationship  issues but are most often not unattended till it is toooooooolate.

 

I have several factual incidents to tell but one short story may be good enough:

 

A lady neighbour of mine confided something in wife and my wife took his 10 year old son to a leading surgeon of leading hospital.They cameback without and treatment and help but good assurance. When I asked my wife why they had taken Ralph ( false name) to surgeon she avoided to reply.As time passed this boy became major but did not grow any facial hair, had chest bulging out , personality was not totally boyish but I cud not say anything to his parents ( this is nature of our society).He avoided to on picnic with other boys etc .

 

By the grace of god his mother again took help of my wife for getting an appointment with this leading surgeon.When they were to leave for him that time I was told they r going to him.I cud not be that reluctant this time and asked my wife insistingly what is wrong with Ralph? She was again reluctant but on my insistance she said his mother says his private oragn is not growing.He is very shy. He does not go to male loo when others r thgere.

 

I told her u dont have to go to general surgeon but have to go to a Urologist. Then I contacted Dr Rupin Shah. Dr rupin called me in the cabin after examining this boy and showed that his one testicle has not descended ( hence can not be even seen, felt means is not doing its job of producing testesterone very vital for manhood development) and hence  he has girlish voice, no beard, enlarged breast, and no development of penis . he showed me his micro penis.

Then immediatley a surgery was planned and his testicles were put in right place. Then he was given shots of testesterone. Now Ralph is much OK. But Can he marry ?? Big question but his parents never asked me to accompany them to Dr Rupin. Dr Rupin though very nice person and knows me but as it is his proffessional ethics to not to disclose clients info in their absence has not told me nither I wud ask.

 

Parennts of Ralph have prohibited me to share this info as he shud not face difficulties in getting married.

 

By the way the earlier surgeon had assured parents of ralph that he is a child and evrything is alright and he will be OK once grows up. But Dr Rupin Shah said that this case should have been brought years back so lot cud be done at right time and saved the child from psychological trauma of years.

So if leading surgons have ignorance about sexology then u can imagine the condition of lay person and just married.

 

Wake wake wake up all. Save marriages. Save families. Have sex education.

sex education is not all about increasing demands. increasing adultery , increasing dishonesty rather it for setting right the person suffering from such difficulties as explained above and increasing pleasure, increasing honesty and developing healthy society.

 

I m sending this mail to 50K . Pl. fwd this to all ur contacts if u like it.

 

( sorry no time to chk spellings, grammer, or rephrasing). Rushing for my appointment to LIC office.

Health in monsoons.


Dear All,

 

With the onset of Monsoon,there has been an expected increase in the incidence of:

 

1-Diarrhoea.

2-Fever and vomiting.

3-Complaints of giddiness.

The following measures are recommended as prevention against disease:

1-DO NOT TAKE OUTSIDE FOOD.

If it is not possible to avoid outside food-take only tea/coffee

/biscuits/fruits in good condition.

2-Eat within limits,avoiding ghee/oil/fried items and eating simple food like rice/dal/veg will be healthy.Lemon and ginger are helpful in improving digestion.

3-Carry your own water when you go out.Water is the commonest source of contamination and illness in monsoon.At the first instance of doubt-get water tested.Chlorine tablets can be used for purifying water.RO system/Aquaguard should be serviced to keep its filters clean.

4-Exercise within your limits.Go to park and gardens instead of daily walk on roadside to avoid accidents.Use exercise cycle or treadmill if you have one lying unused!

5-Conjuctivitis is common during monsoon-whenever you have complaint of stickiness of eyes/redness of eyes-start medicines/eye drops immediately.Take a leave and stay at home till the condition disappears as it can spread to others too.

6-Malaria/Gastroenteritis/Viral fever/Jaundice are commonly seen during this season.

7-At the slightest hint of illness-get yourself checked immediately by doctor.Do not wait till evening.

8-In case of fever with feeling of cold-get a blood test for malaria done before you start medicines.

I hope above mentioned tips will help you to enjoy the beauty of monsoons.

Diarrhoea is city’s worst nightmare

Diarrhoea is city's worst nightmare
 
 
 

Even as the city's civic authorities spend crores on malaria control and H1N1 vaccination drive, another problem — that of diarrhoea, which tops the list of illnesses in Mumbai — is being completely ignored.

The discovery happened through a ward-wise study on the top five diseases detected in the city's civic dispensaries.

Diarrhoea had the highest incidence — 1,57,575 registered cases in 158 dispensaries across the city's 24 wards in a two-year period from January 2008 to November 2009.

Hypertension came in second with 32,753 cases, followed by malaria and tuberculosis with 27, 025 and 19,561 cases respectively. Diabetes with just 4,898 cases was fourth on the list.

The information was compiled by the Praja Foundation — a Mumbai-based voluntary organisation that works on urban and civic issues, particularly pertaining to health, education and crime — after a right to information (RTI) application was filed to find out the number of cases registered in the city's civic dispensaries.

"The idea of the RTI was to make corporators aware of the problems faced by the city, which need to be addressed on a priority basis. We will be sending a copy of the report to the civic commissioner and all the corporators," said Nitai Mehta, managing trustee, Praja Foundation. "While other illnesses are no less important, the authorities should not ignore diarrhoea."

The study revealed that L Ward (Kurla-West) is the worst affected by diarrhoea with maximum patients being from here, while P-south Ward (Goregaon-West) was the least affected. "Barring A Ward (Colaba) where the maximum cases registered were that of hypertension, diarrhoea was the number one ailment in all the rest 23 wards," said Mehta.

Not surprisingly, the incidence of diarrhoea in the city peaked during the rainy season. "That is why it's all the more important for civic authorities to start an active campaign — like the one they have for malaria," added Mehta. "It's a combination of factors such as drinking contaminated water, eating roadside food, lack of sanitation and personal hygiene, which result in diarrhoea."

However, Dr Philip Abraham, consultant gastroenterologist at Hinduja Hospital, said diarrhoea is too broad a classification. "One would have to find out what kind of diarrhoea the patients were suffering from to determine the exact cause of it," added Abraham.

On Monday alone, the city's public and private hospitals saw 78 cases of gastroenteritis being admitted. 1,480 gastroenteritis cases have been registered since June 1, according to the health records with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The BMC's health department even brings out a circular at the onset of monsoon, advising people to refrain from eating outside food. "Ward officers, the medical officer for health in each ward as well as the licence department have been informed to keep a strict vigil on roadside stalls," said Dr Daksha Shah, head of epidemiology cell of the BMC.
