De-stress yourself at your workplace with yoga

Doing yoga in the office can be fun, innovative and relaxing with many long term benefits. Prolonged work on the computer strains the neck, shoulder and back muscles, which leads to tension and stiffness. Unless attended to properly, it could impact your ability to function effectively at the workplace, affecting your overall quality of life. Office yoga comprises of a sequence of simple exercises you can perform quite unobtrusively at your desk, at any time of the day.

Making office yoga exercises a part of your routine can work wonders as they wipe away body pain, fatigue and tension and increase overall muscle strength and flexibility, keeping you fresh and revitalized through the day. The exercises don't demand much time, and can be done in spurts throughout the day, sparing you from unnecessary discomfort in the long run.

Suggestion: If you are wearing tight, uncomfortable footwear remove them before starting the stretches. You may also wish to loosen your tie and belt.

Here are a five office yoga exercises you could try for a start.

[www.keralites.net] HEMOPHILIA............

Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders in which it takes a long time for the blood to clot.

Hemophilia (heem-o-FILL-ee-ah) is a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn't clot normally.

If you have hemophilia, you may bleed for a longer time than others after an injury. You also may bleed inside your body (internally), especially in your knees, ankles, and elbows. This bleeding can damage your organs and tissues and may be life threatening.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

When you bleed, the body launches a series of reactions that help the blood clot. This is called the

coagulation cascade. The process involves special proteins called coagulation factors. When one or

more of these clotting factors are missing, there is usually a higher chance of bleeding.

Hemophilia is caused by a lack of enough factor VIII or IX. In most cases, hemophilia is passed

down

through families (inherited). It most often affects males.

Hemophilia usually is inherited. "Inherited" means that the disorder is passed from parents to children through genes.

People born with hemophilia have little or no clotting factor. Clotting factor is a protein needed for normal blood clotting. There are several types of clotting factors. These proteins work with platelets (PLATE-lets) to help the blood clot.

Platelets are small blood cell fragments that form in the bone marrow—a sponge-like tissue in the bones. Platelets play a major role in blood clotting. When blood vessels are injured, clotting factors help platelets stick together to plug cuts and breaks on the vessels and stop bleeding.

The two main types of hemophilia are A and B. If you have hemophilia A, you're missing or have low levels of clotting factor VIII (8). About 9 out of 10 people who have hemophilia have type A. If you have hemophilia B, you're missing or have low levels of clotting factor IX (9).

Rarely, hemophilia can be acquired. "Acquired" means you aren't born with the disorder, but you develop it during your lifetime. This can happen if your body forms antibodies (proteins) that attack the clotting factors in your bloodstream.. The antibodies can prevent the clotting factors from working.

Symptoms

The main symptom of hemophilia is bleeding. Mild cases may go unnoticed until later in life,

when they occur during surgery or after trauma.

In more severe cases, serious bleeding may occur without any cause. Internal bleeding may occur

anywhere.. Bleeding into joints is common.

Hemophilia can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on how much clotting factor is in your blood. About 7 out of 10 people who have hemophilia A have the severe form of the disorder.

People who don't have hemophilia have a factor VIII activity of 100 percent. People who have severe hemophilia A have a factor VIII activity of less than
1 percent.

Hemophilia usually occurs in males (with rare exceptions). About 1 in 5,000 males are born with hemophilia each year.

Signs and tests

Most often, hemophilia is diagnosed after a person has an abnormal bleeding episode or when

there is a known family history of the condition.

Treatment

Standard treatment involves replacing the missing clotting factor through a vein (intravenous

infusions).

Diagnosing a bleeding disorder is important so that the doctor can take extra care if you need

surgery,

and can test or warn other family members who might be affected.

Expectations (prognosis)

Many people with hemophilia are able to lead pretty normal lives. However, some patients have

major bleeding events, most commonly bleeding into the joint spaces.

A small percentage of people with hemophilia may die from severe bleeding.

Aging Teeth

We spend a significant part of our lives eating, chewing, and biting into something. Our teeth, owing to their natural strength, can take this entire load; however, this wear and tear, and age can affect your teeth. Given below are some possible conditions that you might face as you age and ways to prevent them.

Acid Erosion

All the sugars and starch we consume through foods are the biggest threats to our teeth. These carbohydrates cause the bacteria in our mouths to produce acids, which in turn eat away and corrode the enamel of our teeth. This leads to creation of tiny pits and craters where tooth decay can commence.

If you are thinking candies and sweet meats are the worst threats to our teeth, then get this – Carbonated drinks and sweet sodas are even more hazardous. Carbonation can drastically increase the acid levels in the mouth. Some studies have even shown that sports drinks and energy drinks can cause equal harm to the enamel in your tooth.

How to prevent:

Cut down consumption of starchy and sugary foods. Avoid carbonated drinks
Do not snack frequently to curb the hunger pangs. Frequent snacking can cause the acid levels to be high for more time.
Try switching to sugarless gum to satisfy your craving for sweet. The process of chewing increases saliva generation in the mouth, helps cleansing the mouth and neutralizes the acid levels.
Good oral hygiene reduce bacteria levels in the mouth. Brush your teeth twice everyday if not after every meal and floss regularly.
Go to your dentist for regular checkups and get your teeth examined.

Mechanical Wear and Tear

One of the myths about our teeth is that they become brittle with age. It is not true. The purpose of our teeth is purely mechanical and so is the wear and tear. Our teeth are not prone to cracking and chipping without a foreign influence. You could have chipped teeth if you bite into a particularly hard substance; lets say a hard popcorn kernel.

If you have fillings in your teeth or have had root canal treatments, then your teeth are prone to chipping because they lack the structural strength of naturally intact teeth.

Another reason for wear and tear of your teeth is a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth. This condition, known as bruxism, causes wear in the surface of the teeth and leads to tooth decay.

How to prevent:

Don't chew hard foods and avoid chewing on ice when consuming cold drinks.
Make sure the foods that you bite into do not have hard pits. The most common example is of a bucket of popcorn, which has some un-popped kernels of corn.
Visit your dentist regularly and check for any cracks or broken fillings that can lead to vulnerability of your teeth against biting hard substances.
If you have bruxism, try a dental guard at nights to avoid grinding your teeth in sleep.

Stains

Coffee, tea, wine, cigarettes, and chewing tobacco – all of these can lead to discoloration of your teeth and stains. Stains are largely only surface phenomena, but stains usually form at the site of organic build-up or plaque, therefore it helps to get them removed at the earliest.

How to prevent:

Avoid any food that stains your teeth
Good oral hygiene and regularly brushing your teeth can help removing plaque.
Get your dentist to clean your teeth on a regular basis for removal of plaque and tartar. Your toothbrush can't reach certain areas where plaque can form, and a dental clean up can help removal.

There are many home kits and solutions that can help keep your teeth clean and white. But remember, overuse can lead to teeth and gum damage.

Gum Problems

Gum diseases are the largest threats to your teeth and general health also. As you age, the risk of gum problems grows. Pockets of bacteria form on the gum line and can cause infection that damages connective tissue and the bone leading to tooth loss.

How to prevent:

Brush and floss regularly to remove plaque and bacteria.
Use an anti-bacterial mouthwash.
Check for gum diseases during your regular dental checkups.
Gum diseases are inflammatory; therefore consume foods that reduce inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids can help in this process.

Dry Mouth

Dry mouth is a condition caused by inadequate generation of saliva. It can lead to decay and other problems. A good flow of saliva can keep the teeth healthy and neutralize the acids that corrode the enamel in our teeth. Age does not naturally cause dry mouth, but many medications can lead to dry mouth and most of these are medicines that people consume as they age.

How to prevent:
