As the nation battles a gruesome second wave, face masks and social distancing have become more important than ever before.

As the nation battles a gruesome second wave, face masks and social distancing have become more important than ever before. As you might already know, the novel <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">coronavirus</a> spreads mostly from person to person through respiratory droplets.
Face masks have proven to be a simple but effective barrier to help curtail the spread. Whether you feel sick or not, you have to wear a mask&nbsp;whenever you are around people whose whereabouts you cannot account for.

But as the&nbsp;pandemic takes a deadly turn,&nbsp;here&rsquo;s a lowdown on the different type of masks and&nbsp;which&nbsp;one&nbsp;should you&nbsp;be&nbsp;wearing&nbsp;to protect yourself.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>N95 MASK</h3>
The N95 is the most effective mask, blocking at least 95 per cent of microparticles. Due to their being a critical and limited supply,&nbsp;WHO recommends that&nbsp;only&nbsp;health&nbsp;workers, Covid-19 care providers&nbsp;and&nbsp;people who have virus symptoms&nbsp;wear the N95&nbsp;mask.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>MEDICAL MASK</h3>
Medical or surgical masks generally spotted in blue or green, are a grade below N95 in protection. They are designed for single-use&nbsp;and should not be washed. Wear the medical mask&nbsp;in situations where your mask is likely to get wet or dirty.&nbsp;Medical masks are recommended for high-risk groups&nbsp;including&nbsp;people above the age of 60&nbsp;and&nbsp;people with co-morbidities.&nbsp;
<h3>WARNING: MASK WITH VALVES</h3>
Masks with exhalation valves are not recommended for Covid-19 protection.&nbsp;The hole in the material may allow your respiratory droplets to escape and reach others.&nbsp;
<h3>HOMEMADE&nbsp;CLOTH&nbsp;MASK</h3>
Homemade cloth masks became popular amid a shortage of medical protective supplies. Your cloth mask should&nbsp;have two to three layers,&nbsp;be opaque enough to&nbsp;filter&nbsp;particles but allow breathability.&nbsp;WHO recommends&nbsp;people with no Covid-19 symptoms to&nbsp;wear the cloth mask in areas where the coronavirus is widespread and a social distance of at least 1 metre cannot be&nbsp;maintained.&nbsp;Remember to wash your cloth mask in warm water after every use!
<h3>FACE SHIELD</h3>
You might have seen many health workers wearing the plastic shield. But face shields are not a substitute for masks.&nbsp;They are not effective in preventing droplet spread but can be worn as an added layer of protection with a mask.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Now that you know which mask to choose, make sure you always keep both your mouth and nose covered.&nbsp;Do not wear a loose mask and wash your hands before and after touching one.

As India gasps for Oxygen amid an alarming <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">Covid surge</a>, there is an acute shortage of medical oxygen. Distressing scenes of patients dying due to the lack of oxygen have become commonplace.
Doctors and experts recommend this simple sleep position to boost Oxygen levels in Covid patients. It's called Proning. Placing the patient on their stomach to improve ventilation.
<h2>Here's how to do it:</h2>
1. Lie on your stomach with legs stretched out
2. Put pillow under your chest and turn head to a side
3. Hands upwards on the side of your pillow, take deep breath
4. Doctors suggest that you do this for 30 minutes to 2 hours
This technique is widely used in treating respiratory diseases. Many doctors are suggesting it for Covid patients as is expected to reduce the demand for medical Oxygen and ventilators. Stay safe.

Summer is officially here and a large part of it includes surviving the sweltering heat, staying hydrated and eating the right things. An important ingredient that you must incorporate into your diet is Yogurt. It has more benefits than you might know and in case you need some more reasons to have it regularly, here are some of those.
Keeps you hydrated
Curd is the lightest and most effective fuel you can rely on during the summer months. It keeps you hydrated and boosts your energy levels at the same time. Add a little salt or sugar to it and your body will thank you for the yummy treat, and you will feel more balanced and energised.&nbsp;
Immunity and digestion booster
Dahi also helps in boosting immunity and is good for every kind of gut issue, from indigestion to bloating. It has probiotics or good bacteria that helps in improving the immune system. Having it daily can help the body fight against viruses and infections.&nbsp;
Builds stronger bones
The presence of calcium in curd helps in keeping your bones healthy. Along with calcium, it also has phosphorus which contributes to bone growth. Needless to say, curd helps in fighting against arthritis and osteoporosis.
Skin Healer
Summer is a tiring time for the skin as eruptions happen all the time. Not only does applying curd help, but consuming it also gives a nice glow to the skin and keeps it healthy. The presence of minerals like zinc, vitamin E and phosphorous contribute to it.&nbsp;
Consuming dahi or curd every day will do you a world of good. So do you even need any more reasons to have this yummy superfood&nbsp;regularly?

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming lives but is making people restless and causing immense stress.

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic is not just claiming lives but is making people restless and causing immense stress. It's natural to feel low during these unprecedented times because it is becoming increasingly difficult to&nbsp;gauge when we might get a sense of normalcy back.
However, do remember that while physical health is extremely important, one should not ignore one's mental health, especially during a pandemic.

Here are some of the things you can consider doing to calm yourself down during&nbsp;these terrible times.&nbsp;
<h3>Meditate</h3>
Meditation can be an effective way to minimise stress and improve your mental health. Whether you choose to follow an in-person guide or download an app on your phone, there are many resources that can train you to relax and breathe in this mindful way.
<h3>Exercise</h3>
Physical activity can be a game-changer to tackle mental health issues. There are lots of options, just be sure to choose an activity that you enjoy doing, so you&rsquo;re more motivated to stick with it. Moderate levels of cardio,&nbsp;aerobic exercise or a dance class are some excellent options to consider.
<h3>Eat healthy</h3>
One element that can contribute to poor mental health is eating junk food. Instead of opting for processed or junk foods, focus on more natural choices such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fish and nuts. Good food contributes to a better lifestyle that promotes positive mental health.
<h3>Try some self-care apps</h3>
Mental health apps help users by providing techniques for coping with mental stress, anxiety and other disorders. The applications like Headspace, Calm, Happify, Breath2Relax and others can be utilised to feel less stressed, improve your mood and make you feel happier and healthier.
When your mental health improves, positive changes can occur in every aspect of your life. Always remember to take it at your own pace. Do things that make you happy and stay away from news that might cause you undue distress. It's perfectly fine to take a minute for yourself!

The Holy month of Ramadan is here again and will continue for the next 30 days. During this month, devotees observe long day fasts and are not allowed to have food and water till evening or Iftar time.
Fasting all day naturally makes you feel tired and hungry. So, it is important to first replenish the lost liquids instead of consuming foods that might make you feel bloated. These are some essential fasting tips one should keep in mind during this time.&nbsp;
Sehri or pre-dawn meal
It is important to consume foods that will quench your thirsts such as cucumber, zucchini, buttermilk, curd, melon and banana. To keep one feeling full and energetic while fasting, include complex carbohydrates in your meal like oats, jowar, ragi, sugar-free muesli along with whole wheat.
Iftar meal
The first meal after a long day of fasting should be kept light. One should consume foods that give instant electrolytes and raise your sugar levels. The best way to replace dehydration is to break your fast with coconut water or salty lemon water. This is why traditionally Iftar includes a lot of drinks, fruits and dates.
Dinner meal
For your main course consume a lot of&nbsp;carbs, proteins and high fibre vegetables. Carbs could be in the form of sweet potato or rice or even&nbsp;millets. Get your daily dose of proteins from meat, chicken, fish or dal.
What to avoid?
Avoid sugar, desserts, fruit juices and aerated drinks as they will leave you with cravings and low energy levels, especially when you have to fast the very next day.

World Hemophilia Day is observed on 17th April every year to raise awareness about Hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. Since 17 April marks the birth anniversary of Frank Schnabel, the founder of the World Federation of Hemophilia, World Hemophilia Day is also held on the same date.
Hemophilia&nbsp;is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding as well as bleeding following injuries or even during surgery.&nbsp;It usually happens&nbsp;because of a defect&nbsp;in one of the clotting factor genes on the X chromosome.
Every year, since 1989, the entire bleeding disorders community reunites to celebrate advances in the treatment. The World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) was established in 1963 and over the past fifty years, the WFH has worked globally to achieve "Treatment for All" people with Hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders. This year, the theme of World Hemophilia Day is 'Adapting to Change'.

The season of extended, leisurely afternoons, summer has some haters but most&nbsp;people love&nbsp;summer for its abundant&nbsp;sunshine&nbsp;and juicy fruits.&nbsp;No matter what side you&rsquo;re on, it is hard to ignore the fact that our body has very different needs in the hotter months.&nbsp;&nbsp;
As more and more people get accustomed to air conditioning, the body&rsquo;s natural capabilities to cool down have taken a toll. But following an Ayurvedic lifestyle and just updating your diet with the season&nbsp;can make a huge difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Take note of these tips to feel good this summer and embrace any adventures that the season may bring in your life!
HYDRATE BETTER!
We all know the importance of hydration in summer but according to Ayurveda, it is essential to drink your water at room temperature.&nbsp;Avoid icy-cold drinks and beverages that are caffeinated, carbonated or high in added sugar.&nbsp;&nbsp;
To keep your cool, drink buttermilk, coconut water&nbsp;and fruit juices&nbsp;without any&nbsp;added sugar.&nbsp;
PRACTICE&nbsp;COOLING YOGA&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is important to exercise every day but it may be a good idea to get done with&nbsp;your workout&nbsp;early&nbsp;morning before the sun gets too bright or do it after sunset.&nbsp;
You can also add some cooling&nbsp;yogasanas&nbsp;to your routine. Practice&nbsp;sheetali&nbsp;pranayama or cooling breath at least once a day to cool your body.&nbsp;&nbsp;
AVOID SPICY &amp; OILY FOOD
Avoid foods that will make your body produce more heat. Reduce your intake of spicy food and chillies. Summer is also a bad time to eat oily or fermented foods. So cut down on&nbsp;pickles and stale foods.&nbsp;&nbsp;
EAT RAW&nbsp;&nbsp;
What you can eat a lot of are raw fruits and vegetables. Enjoy summer fruits including watermelon, peaches, plums, mangoes,&nbsp;pears and avocados.&nbsp;A great way to eat raw food is to whip up delicious salads. Add veggies like&nbsp;asparagus, cucumber, cabbage, sweet potato and celery and garnish with cool herbs.&nbsp;&nbsp;
UPDATE YOUR SLEEP TIME&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lastly, you can change your bedtime in summer. As the sun sets much later, it is okay to sleep at 11 pm in the summer.&nbsp;Instead of forcing yourself to stay awake even as the sun tires you out, try to embrace daytime napping in the summer. A relaxing 30-minute nap during the day can do wonders for your energy levels.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Understanding the values behind Ayurvedic principles makes you better equipped to implement these changes in your life. Keep learning to keep improving!&nbsp;

Navratri is one of the most auspicious festivals in India. During the nine-day festival, many people fast to detox. Fasting not only enhances the digestive capacity of one&rsquo;s body but also ensures that the harmful toxins are flushed out.
So, if you are planning to fast this Navratri, we have got you covered. These are some amazing diet tips for Navratri fasting that will help you shed those extra kilos.
Keep yourself hydrated
Water is the best way to fight hunger pangs. It keeps you hydrated, and energetic all day long. Instead of drinking plain water, add lemon water, coconut water or buttermilk to your diet plan.
Don't miss seasonal fruits
Navratri is incomplete without seasonal fruits. Mangoes, grapes or even bananas in the form of salads, smoothies, fruit juices and raitas will keep you full all day long.
Reduce caffeine intake
Caffeine causes dehydration and leads to more food cravings. So replace coffee and aerated&nbsp;drinks with healthy drinks like green tea, tulsi or lemon tea.
Go for samak rice
Since we are skipping whole wheat flour, it is important to make sure the body gets its dose of fibre. For this, samak rice is the best because it is loaded with a high amount of fibre and essential minerals like iron and magnesium.&nbsp;
Avoid packaged and fried food
Instead of having fried or oily food such as pakoras, consume homemade healthy snacks and dry fruits, which are rich in calcium, potassium and zinc.
So use this Navratri as an excuse to achieve your fitness goals.

A latest study done by British scientists found that the active psychedelic compound in magic mushrooms is as effective as an antidepressant drug and can really help patients suffering&nbsp;from depression.&nbsp;
The research involved 59 patients with moderate to severe depression who got doses of&nbsp;psilocybin and antidepressant medicine&nbsp;escitalopram.
The latest study was conducted under specific controlled conditions with two therapists and a regulated dose formulated in laboratory conditions.&nbsp;It is advised that patients with depression should not try to self-medicate with magic mushrooms.
We are all aware that depression is one of the leading causes of ill health worldwide, and existing treatments are often ineffective or have adverse side effects that lead patients to stop taking them. So now the question on everybody's&nbsp;mind is -&nbsp;how effective will the magic mushrooms' active compound be?

We are well aware of the fact that our society neglects mental health illnesses and usually pushes conversations surrounding mental health under the carpet. Also, there is no test or scientific formula to discover these illnesses within people.&nbsp;
Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Indiana made history. For the last four years, these researchers were working on how precision medicine could change the lengthy process of getting a mental health diagnosis.
The research team worked with more than 300 participants, logging their blood biomarkers. For those who are not aware, blood biomarkers are characteristics in the blood, which can be read almost like signs into the health of a human.
Now, the team believes they know how to use these&nbsp;to read a patient for depression and bipolar disorder. It can also give highly specific advice about what kind of treatment would work best for that individual.
We're eagerly waiting for this to be implemented as this has the potential to revolutionise diagnoses related to mental health.

We have&nbsp;all heard of the term Lactose intolerance, it happens when a person's body is not able to digest milk products. For those who are not aware, Lactose is a sugar found only in milk. It is also present in other dairy products, including cheese and ice cream.
If a person is lactose intolerant, their digestive system produces too little of an enzyme known as lactase, which is required to break down lactose. People with lactose intolerance experience symptoms like bloating, nausea and diarrhoea&nbsp;after consuming dairy products.

4. Oat Milk
Oat milk is simply prepared by mixing oats with water. It is good for your heart health as it helps in controlling bad cholesterol. It has a slightly sweet taste with a creamy and smooth texture
5. Rice Milk
Rice milk has a mild sweet taste. It is a good alternative for those who are lactose intolerant. It contains more carbs as compared to other non-dairy milk.
While there is no cure for lactose intolerance, people can avoid the repercussions&nbsp;by not consuming milk products or by taking lactase enzymes.

Gone are the days of simply &lsquo;eating healthy.&rsquo; Today if you want to get fit, there&rsquo;s a lot more to it than just eating less and being&nbsp;more&nbsp;active. We have seen many diet trends come and go, but let&rsquo;s take a look at some that are still popular amongst people from all age groups.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
With its emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, seafood, and other healthy fares,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Mediterranean&nbsp;diet&nbsp;is said to be the most sensible diet.&nbsp;For those who don&rsquo;t know, this diet is based on traditional foods that people used to eat in countries like Italy and Greece back in&nbsp;the&nbsp;1960s.&nbsp;
This diet&nbsp;contains&nbsp;the accepted&nbsp;amount&nbsp;of protein, carbs, fat, and other nutrients&nbsp;that one requires. For best results, one must exercise daily&nbsp;along&nbsp;with following this diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;
We have all heard of Keto&nbsp;- a low carb, high-fat diet. It not only helps you lose weight but is said to increase your energy levels. The drastic reduction of carbohydrate intake puts your body into a metabolic state called&nbsp;&lsquo;ketosis.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
People following the&nbsp;Keto diet can also check whether they're in ketosis with the help of Ketone strips which are available online.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Intermittent fasting is&nbsp;an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating which is most popular amongst&nbsp;millennials and gen&nbsp;Z. The best part about intermittent fasting is that there is no particular diet chart one has to follow&nbsp;but one is allowed to eat meals only within a set time frame. Exercising while following Intermittent fasting will supposedly help you lose weight faster.&nbsp;
As we all know, diets are not one-size-fits-all, what works for one person may not work for another.&nbsp;So&nbsp;it's best to figure out your individual weight loss goals and nutrition priorities&nbsp;and then go forward&nbsp;with the same.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

Scientists fear the pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems.
One in three COVID-19 survivors in a study of more than 230,000 mostly American patients was diagnosed with a brain or psychiatric disorder within six months of being diagnosed. Anxiety and depression were the most common diagnoses among the 14 disorders in Covid survivors battling mental health issues.
Researchers are however not clear how the virus is linked to psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression, but that these. Researchers further added that post-Covid cases of stroke, dementia and other neurological disorders though rare, were still significant, especially in those who suffered severe bout of the infection.

According to a new study published in the journal Circulation, scientists have found that the heart shrinks in space.
The study analysed the heart of Scott Kelly, who spent almost a year in the International Space Station between 2015 and 2016. Researchers found that the largest chamber of his heart shrank by over a quarter by the time he returned to Earth.&nbsp;
Astronauts also tend to develop brittle bones, swelled heads and squashed eyeballs.
The heart does not pump as hard due to the lack of pull of gravity and thus becomes unfit.&nbsp;
