Eat wisely after fasting, advises doctor

Asma Ali Zain / 20 July 2012

With the start of Ramadan, changes in eating habits and daily routine affect different people in different ways.Doctors are advising special care to people with chronic diseases and as well as asking them to eat healthily during the entire month.


ram_food1_20072012.jpg

Dr Liza Thomas, Specialist, Internal Medicine at Canadian Specialist Hospital, has said that while fasting, only one third of the stomach should be filled with food while leaving one third for fluids. “Fluids can help good digestion. Eating a lot at once may lead to distention and indigestion,” she said.

To remain healthy during Ramadan, normal quantities of food from the major food groups — bread and cereal; milk and dairy products; fish, meat and poultry; beans and vegetables; and fruits — should be consumed. Fruits such as bananas are a good source of potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates.
In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume the so-called ‘complex carbohydrates’ or slow digesting foods at Sahur so that the food lasts longer (about eight hours) making you less hungry during the day. “These complex carbohydrates are found in foods that contain grains and seeds like barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils and wholemeal flour,” she added.
Dates are fat-free, cholesterol-free and are a good source of fibre, a key element to look out for during Ramadan. Dates also help in digestion, assimilate carbohydrates more easily and control blood sugar levels and fatty acids content in our bodies.
“It is also very important to drink plenty of water during Sahur and after Iftar,” said Dr Liza. Intake of large amounts of caffeine-containing beverages should be avoided especially at Sahur. Fried foods, very spicy foods and foods containing too much sugar such as sweets can cause health problems and should be limited during Ramadan. They cause indigestion, heartburn, and weight problems.
Avoid the following

  • Fried and fatty foods
  • Extra spicy foods and canned/tinned sauces
  • Foods containing too much sugar and refined carbohydrates.
  • Overeating at Sahur and Iftar.
  • Caffeine-containing drinks like tea, coffee, colas, etc.
Good time to quit smoking
Ramadan is a chance for smokers to quit. A few days or a few weeks before the start of Ramadan, smokers should develop a willingness to take advantage of this month and quit the habit of smoking. Smokers are able to stop themselves during the day. However, they should try and control the urge even after breaking the fast.
“If not, this will become a habit again to smoke after breaking the fast and smokers will get used to it,” said Dr Liza Thomas, Specialist, Internal Medicine at Canadian Specialist Hospital. Finding an environment that keeps them away from smoking can also help.
Chronically ill must seek medical advice
Fasting itself may have a physiological impact on diseases affecting the cardiovascular, renal and gastrointestinal systems, such as hypertension, renal impairment and peptic ulcers.
“Although fasting is possible in many of these circumstances, it may not be well tolerated physiologically, particularly in older patients, and these may be the very patients who are most adamant that they wish to fast,” said said Dr Liza Thomas, Specialist, Internal Medicine at Canadian Specialist Hospital.
“A few months before Ramadan, you should undergo a pre-Ramadan medical assessment and consultancy with your healthcare team,” she added. People who have their diabetes under control using tablets should ensure that they visit their GP prior to Ramadan and discuss any possible changes to their drug regime which would facilitate safe fasting. Regular self-monitoring of your blood glucose is strongly advised. Low blood sugar levels are dangerous and if untreated may lead to fainting or fits, and hence must be strictly avoided. Feeling dizzy, sweaty and disorientated may all suggest a ‘hypo’ (hypoglycaemia). If this is suspected, you should immediately have a sugary drink, or place sugar or a sugar-rich sweet below the tongue.
Long-acting tablets increase the risk of having hypoglycaemia, and should be changed to a shorter-acting variety before you embark on a fast, she advised. Diabetics with further complications, such as angina or heart failure, stroke, retinopathy (eye disease), nephropathy (kidney disease) or neuropathy (nerve disease of feet/hands with numbness/loss of feeling) should seek careful advice from their doctor before starting a fast.

Ovarian Cancer Treatment
Ginger may be powerful weapon in the treatment of ovarian cancer. A study conducted at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center found that ginger powder induces cell death in all ovarian cancer cells to which it was applied.

Colon Cancer Prevention
A study at the University of Minnesota found that ginger may slow the growth of colorectal cancer cells.

Morning Sickness
A review of several studies has concluded that ginger is just as effective as vitamin B6 in the treatment of morning sickness.

Motion Sickness Remedy
Ginger has been shown to be an effective remedy for the nausea associated with motion sickness.

Reduces Pain and Inflammation
One study showed that ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and is a powerful natural painkiller.

Heartburn Relief
Ginger has long been used as a natural heartburn remedy. It is most often taken in the form of tea for this purpose.


Cold and Flu Prevention and Treatment Ginger has long been used as a natural treatment for colds and the flu. Many people also find ginger to be helpful in the case of stomach flus or food poisoning, which is not surprising given the positive effects ginger has upon the digestive tract. Migraine Relief
Research has shown that ginger may provide migraine relief due to its ability to stop prostaglandins from causing pain and inflammation in blood vessels.

Menstrual Cramp Relief
In Chinese medicine, ginger tea with brown sugar is used in the treatment of menstrual cramps.

Ginger has been used for its health benefits for over 5000 years and is a favorite medicinal as well as culinary herb.

Unlike most spices, the part that has the most medicinal value grows under ground. Often mistakenly called “ginger root” this is actually the rhizome of the plant which is more of a subterranean stem than a root. Although you can use dried ginger and powdered ginger for health benefits, fresh ginger is preferred.


The intake of ginger helps stimulate the secretion of mucus, quieting your cough and soothing any scratchiness in your throat.


Ginger has been proven (in multiple studies) to treat feelings of nausea, particularly in the form of seasickness, morning sickness, motion sickness and as a side effect of chemotherapy.



Ginger has been proven (in multiple studies) to treat feelings of nausea, particularly in the form of seasickness, morning sickness, motion sickness and as a side effect of chemotherapy.



Ginger contains anti viral, anti toxic, and anti fungal properties, and is used for the prevention of and treatment against the common cold.



Ginger acts as an antihistamine and aids in the treatment of allergies.



Ginger displays anti inflammatory properties and can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and various other muscular disorders.



The chemical components of the root are instrumental in inhibiting the biosynthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for causing inflammation.



Thus the root has proven to be a highly effective form of treatment, in some cases, even more so than the NSAID’s that are traditionally prescribed.




So eating ginger may help to prevent cancer and ageing disorders.




Ginger contains special enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proteins in your food, thus aiding in digestion and the prevention of cramps.




Good for those with constipation!





The ancient Greeks used to eat ginger after a large meal,
in order to ease the digestion process.




Ginger has proven to help lower your cholesterol
levels and prevent the formation of blood clots.



As a mood enhancer, ginger’s cineole content


may help contribute to stress relief.





Also used for migraine headache.




Ginger can also be used for reducing toothache and the discomfort which arises due to the infection in the upper respiratory tract due to its antibacterial and antifungal nature.



Chewing on fresh ginger,,can help freshen the breath.



Being a warming herb, ginger can help knock out a fever. This property also makes


it effective in stimulating circulation of the blood.

It can also help relax muscles around the blood vessels and is said to help prevent blood clots from forming. The warming effects make it a natural decongestant as well as an antihistamine, making it the perfect remedy for colds.



Some studies show that it can even help inhibit

the replication of the herpes simplex virus.



Recent studies show that ginger might also have a role in lowering LDL cholesterol because the spice can help reduce the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed.




It has also been shown in animal trials to help slow

or even prevent cancerous tumor growth.




To discover the health benefits of ginger for yourself, simply make a tea by steeping about 5 slices


of ginger in hot water.

If you prefer it in your food,



Ginger is excellent in many dishes and

is perfect when combined with garlic.

Ginger doesn’t only spice up your food it can also help to put some extra spice in your intimate life too.


It improves blood flow to your sexual organs, and contains Vitamin
C, zinc and magnesium

Almonds a healthy snack substitute for dieters

(Reuters) / 22 July 2012

Substituting almonds for less healthy foods could help dieters stick to a calorie-controlled diet, and lower their cholesterol at the same time, says a new study.
“Nuts, and in this case almonds, shouldn’t be on the ‘do not eat’ list, they can be effectively incorporated in a weight loss plan, with the caveat that they have to be portion controlled,” said Dr. Gary Foster, who led the study at Temple University in Philadelphia.
alomunds_2207212.jpg
The new study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and supported by the Almond Board of California, involved 123 generally healthy but obese people who followed a calorie-controlled diet for 18 months. Women ate 1,200-1,500 calories per day, while men ate 1,500-1,800.

Half the people, assigned at random by researchers, were given two 28-gram packages of almonds (about 24 almonds per package) to eat each day. That works out to about 350 calories’ worth. The other half agreed to avoid nuts altogether.
When researchers checked in with dieters after six months, they found that the nut-free dieters had lost slightly more weight than the almond eaters: 16 pounds compared to 12 pounds, on average. A year later, both groups had gained some of their weight back, and there was no longer a clear difference in total weight loss between participants who did and didn’t eat almonds.
Past research also suggests that nuts like almonds might play a role in reducing risk factors for heart disease, so Foster and his team expected to see some improvement in cholesterol and levels of blood fats known as triglycerides among the almond-eating dieters.
Six months into the study, cholesterol in the almond group had fallen 8.7 milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL), on average, compared to 0.1 mg/dL in the nut-free group - keeping both groups under the 200 mg/dL limit for total cholesterol recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. After 18 months, cholesterol levels had risen in both groups but were still lower, on average, in the almond group - although the difference could have been due to chance.
“This shows you can include almonds in the context of a weight control program, lose a significant amount of weight and get nice additional benefits in terms of cholesterol and triglycerides,” said Foster.
Still, he urges caution. “Almonds don’t make you lose weight; they’re not free calories,” he said.
[h=4]‘Good Quality Fats’[/h] It can be difficult for dieters to stay on track for as long as 18 months, and healthy people have fewer incentives to lose weight than those with health problems, said Dr. Michelle Wien, a nutrition researcher at Loma Linda University in California, who wasn’t involved in the study.
In their report, researchers point to a lack of difference in blood fats at the end of the study as evidence that participants stopped following the diet over time. That’s normal in any type of weight loss program, said Wien.
Snacks like nuts - promoted as a healthy source of nutrients by the U.S. Department of Agriculture - are generally considered off-limits to dieters because of their high fat content. Almonds are particularly rich in magnesium, potassium and vitamin E, as well as being a good source of fiber and calcium, according to the study’s funder, the Almond Board of California.
When dieters are limiting how many calories they eat, it’s important they eat foods that are nutrient dense, with a nice level of vitamins and minerals, and good quality fats, said Wien.
It’s a comfort for people who are struggling with weight management, said Wien. They often crave something crunchy, something palatable with a nice texture, she added.
Foster agreed. If people can eat foods they enjoy when they’re dieting, they are more likely to stick to their weight loss plan, and keep the weight off, said Foster.
The message to dieters is not ‘eat all the almonds you want and you’ll lose weight,’ but you can effectively incorporate almonds as part of a weight controlled diet,” said Foster.

Smoking or use of tobacco is a very old form of addiction), almost 3000 years old.
Tobacco, tar and nicotine are used to make cigarette while in Shisha, different sweet flavors are added for taste development. Shisha is getting very common in recent year in not only Pakistan but also in India, Bangladesh and china also.
According to the law, it is illegal to sale cigarette to a boy / girl of the age less than 9 years but this law is not implementing by the authorities. There is great number of young boys and girls those are addicted to the cigarette but in recent years the shisha smoking is very common among youngsters. It became the fashion for the young generation and separate Shisha lounge are located in hotels and restaurants.
Disadvantages of Shisha smoking:


  • Heart diseases
  • Respiratory problems
  • Lungs cancer
  • Asthma
  • Cancer of veins
  • Pneumonia
  • Premature delivery of baby and the respiratory diseases in the newborn baby
Shisha smoking causes all above diseases and as safety measures our government and world health organization banned all the products that contain tobacco and instructed that all Shisha cafs and hotels that are offering Shisha should discontinue their offers. All the laws made for smoking, also implemented in the case of Shisha smoking. Universities and colleges should arrange awareness programs against Shisha smoking. Parents should also guide their children about the disadvantages of Shisha smoking. Recently city district government of Lahore under the section 144 banned Shisha smoking in cafes, hotels etc. Instead of all these measures and instruction, everyday new Shisha cafes and clubs are opening in our country; government should take serious steps and create awareness about the disadvantages of Shisha.

Soft drinks make it harder to lose weight: Study

(IANS) / 23 July 2012

Avoid soft drinks, as they could alter the way your body burns fuel and make it harder still to lose weight, says a study."This study proves our concerns over sugary drinks have been correct. Not only can regular sugar intake acutely change our body metabolism,” said Hans-Peter Kubis of Britain’s Bangor University, who led the research.

colathumb_2307212.jpg
”In fact, it seems that our muscles are able to sense the sugars and make our metabolism more inefficient, not only in the present but in the future as well,” Kubis added.

The researcher warned that soft drinks can compromise long-term health and advised people to substitute it with plain water instead.

His researchers also showed that isolated muscle cells identify and respond to the sugary diet, and switch how they use the fuel.

”Together with our findings about how drinking soft drinks dulls the perception of sweetness, our new results give a stark warning against regularly drinking sugar sweetened drinks,” added Kubis.

The move to an inefficient metabolism was seen in male and female participants who were lightly active, and drinking soft drinks for just four weeks, according to the Daily Mail.

These factors show that regular use of sugar sweetened soft drinks drives alterations in muscles similar to those found in people with obesity problems and type 2 diabetes.

”What is clear is our body adjusts to regular soft drink consumption and prepares itself for the future diet by changing muscle metabolism via altered gene activity - encouraging unhealthy adaptations similar to those seen in people with obesity problems and type 2 diabetes.

”Together with our findings about how drinking soft drinks dulls the perception of sweetness, our new results give a stark warning against regularly drinking sugar sweetened drinks,” Kubis said.

[h=1]Reducing salt 'would cut cancer'[/h]

_61705015_c0119851-salt_content_in_bread,_conceptual_image.jpg

Salt is in many foods, such as bread.

[h=2][/h]
Cutting back on salty foods such as bacon, bread and breakfast cereals may reduce people's risk of developing stomach cancer, according to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).
It wants people to eat less salt and for the content of food to be labelled more clearly.
In the UK, the WCRF said one-in-seven stomach cancers would be prevented if people kept to daily guidelines.
Cancer Research UK said this figure could be even higher.
Too much salt is bad for blood pressure and can lead to heart disease and stroke, but it can also cause cancer.
The recommended daily limit is 6g, about a level teaspoonful, but the World Cancer Research Fund said people were eating 8.6g a day.
Undetected There are around 6,000 cases of stomach cancer every year in the UK. The WCRF estimated that 14% of cases, around 800, could be avoided if everyone stuck to their 6g a day.
Kate Mendoza, head of health information at WCRF, said: "Stomach cancer is difficult to treat successfully because most cases are not caught until the disease is well-established.
_61743376_katharinejenner.jpg


Katharine Jenner from Consensus Action on Salt and Health, says eating less than six grammes of salt could prevent stroke and cancer deaths

"This places even greater emphasis on making lifestyle choices to prevent the disease occurring in the first place - such as cutting down on salt intake and eating more fruit and vegetables."
Eating too much salt is not all about sprinkling it over fish and chips or Sunday lunch, the vast majority is already inside food.
It is why the WCRF has called for a "traffic-light" system for food labelling - red for high, amber for medium and green for low.
However, this has proved controversial with many food manufacturers and supermarkets preferring other ways of labelling food.
Lucy Boyd, from Cancer Research UK, said: "This research confirms what a recently published report from Cancer Research UK has shown - too much salt also contributes considerably to the number of people getting stomach cancer in the UK.
"On average people in Britain eat too much salt and intake is highest in men.
"Improved labelling - such as traffic light labelling - could be a useful step to help consumers cut down."
A spokesman for the Department of Health said: "We already know too much salt can lead to conditions such as heart disease and stroke. That is why we are taking action through the 'Responsibility Deal' to help reduce the salt in people's diets. And we are looking at clearer... labelling on foods as part of our consultation on front-of-pack labelling.
"We keep these findings under review alongside other emerging research in the field."

[h=1]Negative Calorie Foods[/h]
May 11, 2012 by Sadaf Javed 1 Comment


Negative calories food means the type of foods which provide extra calories to your body that often cause obesity. Experts say that it cannot be proved scientifically that how any food can be the reason of negative calories. Because every food has some nutrients that put different effects on the bodies of different individuals. It can be the case that same food leaves different effects on two people. So, it is not right to say about any food that it is negative calories food. Negative calories food is a food that provides effects to your body opposite to the expected ones. Same thing happens when you use any food to reduce your weight but it works adversely and gives your body extra calories that make you fat. Such kind of food can be said as negative calories food. But as we have mentioned earlier that every food item has carbohydrates, proteins and fats so, it depends on your body digestive system that what type of effect it takes from these nutrients: positive or negative. Click Here To Continue Reading in English
negative-calorie-foods.gif
negative-calorie.gif

It can be proved with an example: according to experts you should drink one glass of water before your every meal. It clears your stomach to and eaten food is easily digested in this way. By doing this, you will also eat less as compared to situation when you eat without having a glass of water at the start. But your weight keeps on increasing instead of decreasing. The reason of this obesity may be the excess quantity of water in your body. Here, we are giving you some information for the awareness about negative calories food. Vegetables: Vegetables are the best foods to avoid the effects of negative calories. Vegetables have a quality to absorb extra water. As, there are 8 calories in one cup of salad leaves so, you never need to be worried while using salads in your meals. You can use onion with salad as it gives 64 calories only. Negative calories vegetables: Brinjal, cabbage, celery, salad, carrot, tomato, calabash, fennel, spinach etc., all are negative calories vegetables. Their use can be good if you use green vegetables with these vegetables. You can use homemade pickle (chemical free) with these vegetables. Fruits: Fruits are very good for negative calories. But there should be a balance while using fruits in your daily routines. There are some fruits like grapes and pineapple which can be the reason of acidity. So, there should be balance between both fruits and vegetables. Fruits according to negative calories are: Apple, blue berries, lemon, mango, oranges, pineapple, strawberry etc.
We should be careful while having some food with enzymes or nutrition and there should be a balance in the usage of vegetables and fruits because different food items have different effect for different people.

Depression, anxiety affects every society

(IANS) / 24 July 2012

SYDNEY - Researchers have found that depression and anxiety affects every society and country in the world, debunking old theories that only Westerners get depressed.
The findings come from the world’s most comprehensive study of these mental states, carried out by researchers from the University of Queensland, Australia.

In two separate studies of anxiety disorders and major depressive disorder (that is, clinical depression) researchers found that surveys of clinical anxiety and depression have been conducted across 91 countries, involving more than 480,000 people.

Anxiety disorders were more commonly reported in Western societies than in non-western societies, even those that are currently experiencing conflict.

Clinical anxiety affected around 10 percent of people in North America, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand compared to about eight percent in the Middle East and six percent in Asia.

The opposite was true for depression, with people in Western countries least likely to be depressed. Depression was found to be lowest in North America and highest in some parts of Asia and the Middle East, according to a Queensland statement.

About nine percent of people have major depression in Asian and Middle Eastern countries, such as India and Afghanistan, compared with about four percent in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand and east Asian countries including China, Thailand and Indonesia.

Alize Ferrari, study co-author, said findings suggested that depression appeared to be higher in parts of the world where conflict is occurring.

However, she warns that it can be difficult to obtain good quality data from some low and middle income countries.

Amanda Baxter, who led the study, also urged caution while comparing mental disorders across different countries.

”Measuring mental disorders across different cultures is challenging because many factors can influence the reported prevalence of anxiety disorders,” said Baxter.

Two apples a day keep heart diseases away

(IANS) / 27 July 2012

Just two apples a day could help protect women against heart disease by cutting their cholesterol levels, according to study.
apple_277.jpg
Scientists found that apples significantly lowered blood fat levels in postmenopausal women, the group most at risk of heart attacks and strokes, the Daily Mail reported Thursday.

Snacking on the fruit every day for six months slashed cholesterol by almost a quarter.
The biggest reduction was seen in low-density lipoprotein, the so-called “bad” cholesterol that furs up arteries and raises the risk of a life-threatening clot forming near the heart or brain.
The findings, by researchers at Florida State University in the US, support previous evidence that apples could be good for the heart.
But the latest study suggests they could benefit one of the highest-risk groups.

Insomnia in simple words can be referred to as lack of sleep. People suffering this disease feel trouble in sleeping. Strange is the fact that some people sleep too much and stay worried because of this oversleeping habit nut on the other side there are many whose worry is lack of sleep. Nature has kept a balance in everything so neither lacking nor being in excess is good. Moderate way is the best way.

Insomnia-Causes.gif
Causes
You fall victim to insomnia when:
  • You work longer till late night
  • You think about something excessively
  • You are hit by any trouble which you cannot share with others
  • You are afraid of your past or future
  • You oversleep in day time or sleep in unusual time
  • You wake up too often in night
  • You get up too early in morning
  • Or maybe you do not want to sleep
However one more fatal form of insomnia is permanent insomnia. Other forms of this disease which are not that fatal hit different people in different ages of their lives and are eventually fixed but permanent insomnia is with the patient for his rest of life.
There are few causes of permanent insomnia:
  • Having such diseases in which patients feel uncomfortable while breathing
  • Using caffeine, alcohol and nicotine and other edibles which have such drugs
  • Continuous problems and depressions in which you need a psychiatrist
  • Any mental pressure which keeps your mood down
  • Due to tough routine of work
  • Nightmares which don not let you sleep
Besides all these above said factors if you take continuous tension of any problem, gradually you sleep goes away. Measures which may help you avoid this:
First of all you should have proper sleeping habits and you need to limit your work within your working hours. Go to sleep when it is the time to sleep and do not worry about pending work as you can do it next morning.
Try not to eat anything before you go to bed and if it is one of your habits, quit it. When you fill your stomach before bed time it does not let you fall asleep.

Beware! You may be more vulnerable to hepatitis than you think

(IANS) / 28 July 2012

Casual one-night stands and multiple partners could be the starting points of serious health concerns. Not just for HIV, which most people are now aware of, but more for hepatitis.Expressing concern over the low awareness among people, especially youngsters, about hepatitis, doctors say that much more needs to be done to spread the word about the disease, like has been done for HIV/AIDS.
hepi_28072012.jpg
“Very often, I have young patients coming to me for a post-exposure test for HIV after unprotected sex, or sex with multiple partners. What they don’t realise is that the probability of contacting the hepatitis B or even C virus through the sexual route is much higher than HIV,” Monica Mahajan, senior consultant at Max Hospital here, told IANS.

The inflammatory disease of the liver affects 100 million with chronic hepatitis B infection in the Southeast Asian region, WHO said. According to doctors, two to five percent of India’s population is affected by hepatitis B.
D. Sreenivasa, consultant at the gastroenterology centre at Fortis Hospital, Bangalore, said that 20 percent of the population is prone to the infection in the future.
Mahajan said the hepatitis virus is 50-100 times more contagious than HIV.
“Sexual contact is one of the most common routes for the virus to spread. But it can also spread through other body fluids like blood; so beware of infected needles. Having said that, cases of the virus spreading because of blood contamination has gone down relatively,” Mahajan said.
“Mother-to-child transmission is also mostly taken care of because of all the screening tests that a pregnant women goes through. Plus, now the universal immunisation programme includes protection against hepatitis B, making children less vulnerable. So it’s those in the sexually active age group, in 20s-30s, who are unaware that they are vulnerable,” she added.
The infection can cause acute illness with symptoms such as nausea, dark urine, vomiting and abdominal pain.
According to WHO, about 65 percent of those with hepatitis B and 75 percent of those with hepatitis C do not know they are infected. In the case of hepatitis B, sometimes the infection remains asymptomatic for almost two decades, before becoming chronic hepatitis and seriously affecting the liver, sometimes leading to liver cancer.
“Around 60 percent of liver cancer cases in India is because of hepatitis B,” said gastroenterologist Arul Prakash of Chennai’s MOIT Hospitals.
The good news, however, is that there is a vaccination for hepatitis B.
“Fortunately, there is a vaccination which can protect one from hepatitis B. Unfortunately, not many people know about it. I often get students applying to foreign universities, coming to get their health certificates, and having no clue that there is a vaccination for hepatitis,” said Satish Koul, internal medicine, Columbia Asia Hospital, Gurgaon.
“Without undermining the risk of HIV, it is pertinent to know that we lose more people to hepatitis B than to the aforementioned, and that the mode of transmission of hepatitis is same as sexually transmitted disease (STD),” Koul told IANS.
To state an example which is worth emulating, Fortis’ Sreenivasa said: “Taiwan had a very high incidence of hepatitis B but after the vaccination against it was introduced, it came down to zero. Now it doesn’t have any new infection cases”.
