ठण्ड में अपनी तबियत संभाले !!

दोस्तों नमस्कार,

इस साल फिर भी थोड़ी ठण्ड काम ही है, लेकिंग मौसम विभाग की माने और कुछ दिनों का मौसम देखे तो लाग रहा है की आनेवाले दिनों में तापमान में थोड़ी गिरावट हो सकती है।

क्या हम इसके लिए तैयार है, जवाब शायद हां भी हो सकता है या ना भी हो सकता है, क्योंकि हर साल की तरह इस साल भी ठण्ड हो सकती है ये सोचकर तैयारी की हो लेकिन दिसंबर आधा चला गया लेकिन फिर भी ठण्ड कम है तो तो सुकून में है।
ऐसेमे,  अचानक ठण्ड बढ़ने से हमें परेशानिया हो सकती है, जिसमे कई तरह की बीमारिया भी हमे जकड सकती है जिसमे से एक जुकाम और गले की परेशानिया आम बात है।

दोस्तों यह बीमारिया भलेही आम है लेकिन अगर वक़्त पे हमने इसको संभाल नहीं तो यह हमे काफी समय तक परेशन कर सकती है, इससे बचने के कुछ सरल उपाय भी है,

• जब लग रहा है ठण्ड बढ़ रही है तो अपने आप को जितना हो सके ढके रखे,
• वुलन के कपडे पहने और समय मिले तो उसे धुप भी दिखाए (अगर हफ्ते दो हफ्ते में धोना मुश्किल है तो)
• अगर कोई परेशानी नहीं है तो सॉक्स पहनकर सो सकते है 
• मुह और कण ढककर सोने से भी शरीर में गर्माहट रहती है 
• अगर महसूस हो की जुकाम शुरू हो गया है तो, सुबह उठते ही गर्म पानी के साथ नमक मिलके गरारे करे यह काफी असरदार तरीका मन जाता है। 
• घर में विक्स या बाम रखे इसका इस्तेमाल भी कारगर साबित होता है
• गर्म पानी का स्टीम ( विक्स या बाम डालकर) का प्रयोग भी कर सकते है 
• छोटे बच्चो को वुलन के कपडे पहनकर ही बहार भेजे 
• जुकाम, गले की परेशानिया अगर ज्यादा दिनों तक रहे तो डॉक्टर की सलाह ले

WORLD AIDS DAY

WHAT IS WORLD AIDS DAY?

World AIDS Day is held on the 1st December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day, held for the first time in 1988.

WHY IS WORLD AIDS DAY IMPORTANT?

Over 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK. Globally there are an estimated 34 million people who have the virus. Despite the virus only being identified in 1984, more than 35 million people have died of HIV or AIDS, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.

Today, scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition. Despite this, each year in the UK around 6,000 people are diagnosed with HIV, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for many people living with the condition.

World AIDS Day is important because it reminds the public and Government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.
