Frequent naps might be the cause of high blood pressure and more frequent strokes, according to a new study.&nbsp;

Do you love taking naps in the afternoon or any time of the day? Stop right there! According to a study published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, frequent napping may be linked to a higher risk of high blood pressure and stroke.&nbsp;
For the study, researchers analysed data of nearly 3,60,000 UK adults for 11 years. They compared napping habits with blood pressure and stroke risk.
The team found that participants who routinely napped during the day had a 12% higher risk of developing high blood pressure and a 24% increased risk of stroke compared to those who never napped.
Data also suggested that the risk would increase if participants who never napped did so occasionally or if they went from napping sometimes to often.

Those who suffer this type of sudden onset headaches also complain of accompanying nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.&nbsp;
Speaking of Cupping therapy, in this method special cups are placed on the skin which creates suction and acts as a type of deep-tissue massage. It is believed that these suction cups when placed on strategic acupressure points help stimulate the flow of energy.
Many studies have also supported the role of acupuncture in helping with migraines. Acupuncture produces natural substances in the body such as pain-relieving endorphins. It is considered as effective as prophylactic drug therapy for migraine and is safe.

Drinking three cups of coffee a day could help you live longer, according to new research.

Here's some good news for all the coffee lovers out there! Your morning cup of coffee could help you live longer, according to new research. &nbsp; Data of more than 1,70,000 adults in the UK has revealed that those who drink between two and four cups of coffee each day, appear to live longer lives compared to those who don&rsquo;t sip java. The analysis was published in the journal of Internal Medicine.
For about seven years, the researchers tracked the coffee consumption and health of participants. They found that those who regularly drank 2 to 4 cups of coffee a day, regardless of added sugar, were 30% less likely to die in that time frame from any cause.&nbsp;
Over the years, research has also revealed a variety of health benefits of coffee, linking its consumption to a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson&rsquo;s disease, depression and more.

Hitting the gym won’t help people deal with unhealthy eating habits, according to a new study.

New study proves exercise can’t compensate for a poor diet

Hitting the gym won&rsquo;t help people deal with unhealthy eating habits, according to a new study.

If you think you can counter the ill-effects of daily takeouts, and ordering out by hitting the gym regularly, we have some bad news for you! According to a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, exercise can&rsquo;t compensate for the adverse and long-term impact of unhealthy food on our health. The findings come from a 11-year-long study which assessed the diet patterns of 360,000 adults. According to the study, a &lsquo;bad&rsquo; or &lsquo;unhealthy&rsquo; diet was one comprising &ldquo;low fruit and vegetable intake, no fish, and lots of red meat, especially processed meat.&rdquo; The results suggested that the participants who engaged in high levels of physical activity while practicing a healthy diet had the lowest risks of death compared to their counterparts who were not only physically inactive but also had poor diets. Lead researcher of the study Melody Ding claimed that while many people may think that they could offset the impacts of a poor diet with high levels of exercise or offset the impacts of low physical activity with a high-quality diet, data has shown that this is not the case. Long story short, the study suggested exercise and a good diet go hand in hand, and balance is the key to a healthy life!

Nearly one in three children across the world have high levels of lead in their bloodstream, finds a joint study by UNICEF&nbsp;&amp; Pure Earth&nbsp;

1 in 3 children have dangerous levels of lead in their blood&nbsp;
Study by UNICEF&nbsp;&amp; Pure Earth blames rising lead pollution
Could impair brain development, nervous system, vital organs&nbsp;
800m children has more than 5mg lead per deciliter or higher&nbsp;
Inadequate battery recycling, open-air smelters to blame: report&nbsp;
Major culprit: lead-acid batteries use nearly 85% of world's lead

New research has found that nearly one in three children across the world have high levels of lead in their bloodstream.&nbsp;
The study carried out by&nbsp;UNICEF and environmental group Pure Earth blamed increasing levels of lead pollution and says that the&nbsp;levels are high enough to impair the development of brains, nervous systems and vital organs such as heart and lungs.&nbsp;800 million children had lead levels of 5 micrograms per deciliter or higher in their bloodstream. The WHO and US CDC&nbsp;called the findings 'cause for action.'
The report cites inadequate battery recycling and open-air smelters among the lead polluters.&nbsp;Lead-acid batteries could be a key culprit, with nearly 85% of the lead used worldwide going into their production, the report added.&nbsp;

On I-Day, Punjab CM Mann launches 75 'Aam Aadmi Clinics'

These mohalla clinics will offer around 100 types of clinical tests for free, besides giving medicines to patients at no cost.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday dedicated 75 'Aam Aadmi Clinics' to the people of the state to mark 75 years of India's independence.
Hoisting the national flag during a state-level function at Guru Nanak Stadium here, Mann said these mohalla clinics will offer around 100 types of clinical tests for free, besides giving medicines to patients at no cost.
Each of these clinics will have four staff members, including an MBBS doctor and a laboratory technician, he said.
"Today, we dedicate 75 mohalla clinics to mark 75 years of Independence," Mann told the media. More such clinics will be launched in the coming days, he added.
"We had promised to set up mohalla clinics in Punjab. The experiment of setting up such in Delhi has been very successful," he said.
Responding to the Opposition's criticism of converting buildings of 'Sewa Kendras' into 'Aam Aadmi Clinics', Mann said the structures had been lying in shambles and they were converted into 'Aam Aadmi Clinics' or mohalla clinics after renovation.

"One MLA, One Pension law has been implemented. We spoke about giving 300 units of free electricity from July 1. In around 20 days, 51 lakh households will get zero electricity bills," he said.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says it is holding an open forum inviting suggestions to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be stigmatising, derogatory, discriminatory or have racist connotations.  

Renaming Monkeypox: WHO creates open forum, invites public feedback over stigmatisation concerns 

Monkeypox was first named in 1958 when research monkeys in Denmark were observed to have a "pox-like" disease, although they are not thought to be the animal reservoir.&nbsp;

The World Health Organization (WHO) says it is holding an open forum to rename the disease Monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations.
In a statement on Friday, the UN health agency said it has also renamed two families, or clades, of the virus, using Roman numerals instead of geographic areas, to avoid stigmatisation. The version of the disease formerly known as the Congo Basin will now be known as Clade one or I and the West Africa clade will be known as Clade two or II.
WHO said the decision was made following a meeting of scientists this week and in line with current best practices for naming diseases, which aims to "avoid causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups, and minimise any negative impact on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare".
Numerous other diseases, including Japanese encephalitis, Marburg virus, Spanish influenza and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome have been named after the geographic areas where they first arose or were identified. WHO has not publicly suggested changing any of those names.
Monkeypox was first named in 1958 when research monkeys in Denmark were observed to have a "pox-like" disease, although they are not thought to be the animal reservoir.
WHO said it was also opening a way for the public to suggest new names for monkeypox, but did not say when any new name would be announced.
To date, there have been more than 31,000 cases of monkeypox identified globally since May, with the majority of those beyond Africa. Monkeypox has been endemic in parts of central and west Africa for decades and was not known to trigger large outbreaks beyond the continent until May.
WHO declared the global spread of monkeypox to be an international emergency in July and the US declared its own epidemic to be a national emergency earlier this month.
Outside of Africa, 98 percent of cases are in men who have sex with men. With only a limited global supply of vaccines, authorities are racing to stop monkeypox before it becomes entrenched as a new disease.

Emotional exhaustion: The feeling of deactivating all the social media platforms when things go down might not be depression, know what the psychotherapist has to say about it. 

Why do you feel like deactivating Instagram? Is it depression or emotional exhaustion?

The pattern of getting on and off on social media platforms when things go down in your life might not be depression but emotional exhaustion, here's what psychotherapist has to say about it.

Do you deactivate Instagram quite often? Here's what you need to know

When you feel overwhelmed in life and just go ahead with the option of deactivating Instagram, it might not be depression but emotional exhaustion; here's what you need to know about it.&nbsp;

Everytime you feel low or when things go down, do you feel like deactivating Instagram? Your go-to options are to isolate yourself, limit your interactions and prefer to take time away from social media. If yes, then that might not be depression but emotional exhaustion!
Emotional exhaustion happens when you extend yourself more often and these things take a toll on your mental health. It also happens when you feel overwhelmed by the things that are happening in your life.&nbsp;
Alaokika Motwane, Mumbai-based psychotherapist, said that stress has now itself become an epidemic. She further said that people have become used to the constant mix of adrenaline and cortisol because of the uncertainty that is happening within them and in the outside world.&nbsp;
Women are more likely to feel emotionally exhausted and this happens due to cultural conditioning. It is because time and again they have been suppressed and are shamed when they can't multitask in their daily life.
<h3>How to cope with emotional exhaustion?</h3>
According to the psychotherapist, our generation thrives on solutions but for this, there is no five-point solution that can quickly help you out. She said that there is a pattern of behaviour that needs to be read so that the underlying struggle with mental health issues can be dealt with and in this therapists can help you out.
So, next time when you feel overwhelmed and think of deactivating Instagram, book yourself a therapy!
