The Supreme Court of India has to intervene for the publication of danger and awareness pictures/logos on packets of tobacco.The political and Govt. will is evident from this .This is a sort of habituation and can be given up with a little application of strong will power.Now-a-days it is not that people are not aware of the consequences of tobacco chewing.But everybody thinks that somebody else may become the victim, not he.And he adopts a convenient position to defend that habit.They will argue why X is not affected in spite of his long standing habit.Again why Y become a victim without this habit.
But when affected the time has already gone out.Of course early dectection and treatment can cure the disease but what about the disfigurement.
I propose why at all products should be prepared from it and why can not production be stopped in stead of costly advertisements costing the exchaquer.I think it is only lack of will to stop production and aim of revenue generation that matters.
Recently I have read an article that insulin can be produced on the tobacco leaves with genetic modification.If that materializes the ugly face of tobacco will be a thing of past.
LET US GO FOR MORE DECENT UTILISATION OF THE PLANT.

Exercise generates heat in the body and it is cooled off by sweating.My place being a coastal area there is a lot of humidity resulting in excessive sweating .That causes a lot of water and salt loss from body.There has been a number of suggestions for pre and post exercise rehydration drinks.I follow a very simple, 
priceless as well as healthy drink.As I do, early morning exercise is very good as pollution level is low and morning ultra-violet rays help in synthesis of Vit.D.I start walking after taking about 500ml.of plain water.After a brisk walk of 50 minutes I again take 300 ml of plain water and go for a weight bearing exercise at home for 10 minutes .There after I drink 750 ml. of water to which added a pinch of common salt and juice extracted from a slice of lemon. That effectively fills up my water need.Additionally some can add about 10 grms. of glucose, if not diabetic. There after I take a cup of tea and sprouting green gram .Breakfast is taken a little later and I am ready for hospital.

At present entrance tests are going on in
India for entry into professional courses like MBBS,Engineering and MBA etc. after 12th class.I read a good article in the local daily”The Samaj” and wanted to give my own comment.It has been described that students are preferring engineering stream over medical and I agree to it.In India
medical service in
Govt. Sector is not satisfactory.Now it is not considered to be a noble profession also.This is a set back and no body seems to be concerned about it.Time will come when this profession will only get entrants from back benches.
Getting to medical course is a difficult affair in a sense that one has to be thorough in pre-medical subjects.The time of study is longer than engineering and the study never ends i.e. one has to continuously go on updating himself through out his life.The dissatisfaction and indifferent attitude of general public towards the doctors has to be borne .The odd time of work i.e. at any time one can be called to attend patients.The false acquisitions by the patients hurts many times .Lack of infrastructure for professional growth i.e. even there is no roof for a doctor at some places.Good schools for study of their children is a day dream at many places. And as a final nail on the coffin of aspiration to become a doctor is abysmal salary in comparison to engineering and MBA graduates. All these disadvantages are gone if one opts for engineering or MBA.
That is why there is brain drain from India.
I think time has already come in India for think thanks to explore possibilities for medical profession to grow in knowledge and change the outlook towards the profession. It is also true that along with general degradation in social value there has been degradation in this profession also.
BUT EXCEPTION IS NOT THE RULE.
Body has it’s own defense mechanism in this world of bacterias.Harmful bacterias are present every where so also on the whole body.They are also ingested by way of food and water intake.A drop of water may contain millions of bacteria and they have the potential to multiply very quickly.It is not that we fall prey to them in contacting infections frequently.There is a host of defense mechanisms to prevent these.
One of them is good and body friendly bacteria called lactobacillus .They are normaly present in the intestine .mouth and some other parts of body.They protect body by preventing colonisation of harmful bacterias inadverdently shallowed during taking food.They also produce some B group of vitamins required for body.They get destroyed by taking antibiotics for cure of some other infection.Normaly they recover.But many a times physicians suppliment it by providing lactabacilli from external source.
Yogurt is a good source of bacilli.
In this materialistic world everybody runs and runs .We all are exhausted in the long run.Rest the word is long forgotten as well as entertainment. Body being a machine consisting of blood ,flesh and bone etc. requires rest as well.In the busy life style body accumulates a lot of toxic substances one being free oxygen radical. This one is potentially harmful if not scavenged.Body has it’s own mechanism to tackle this but rest is the main factor for it.Proper food contains factors called antioxidants to scavenge this.Proper foods,I mean a balanced diet enriched with green vegetables,red/dark skinned/rich colored fruits and sprouts etc.
Rest means adequate sleep and that rejuvenates body by eliminating harmful toxic by-products of metabolism and the free radical scavengers viz.Vit-C,E,A and trace elements like selenium help in this process.
Grapes,carrots,sprouts,mango and even dark vegetables contain a lot of antioxidants.Marketed preparations are available but why not get it from food.
