CORONA VACCINATION

Coronavirus vaccination in India: As coronavirus cases in the country are increasing in an indication of a second wave of the pandemic, the government is also working full force on its nation-wide COVID-19 vaccination drive. With an aim to vaccinate about 30 crore people by August, Centre has ramped up its demand for Pune-based Serum Institute of India’s Covishield and Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin, which are the two COVID-19 vaccines that are being administered in India at the moment, according to a report in The Indian Express. The issue with the increased demand, however, is that these two companies are also expected to supply coronavirus vaccine doses to other countries as per their agreements. The report stated that at least one of the two manufacturers have said that the demand from India has exceeded the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses they had earmarked for the country, and so, their ability to fulfil requirements from other countries on time has been impacted.

This Japanese plant could hold the key to extended youth Published Thursday 21 February 2019 By  Maria Cohut Fact checked  by Gianna D'Emilio In Japan, many have long believed that a plant called ashitaba is important in supporting a person's health and well-being. Now, researchers are suggesting that a compound in this plant boosts cellular health and may prolong youth. Practitioners of traditional medicine in Japan have long touted ashitaba's health benefits. New research suggests that they may be right. Part of the way in which the body maintains health at a cellular level is through the process of autophagy.  This involves cells disposing of their own broken and disused parts to prevent the buildup of debris. If autophagy is not efficient, the cellular debris that accumulates can become harmful, exposing healthy cells to  stress  and contributing to the development of a range of diseases and conditions, including  cancer . ...

The condition puts a strain on the cardiovascular system, which in the long run may contribute to  heart failure ,  stroke , and kidney failure. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommend that people with  high blood pressure  stay in control of the condition by eating healthfully, exercising, not smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight. But should you eat ...
