TUBERCULOSIS

SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND PREVENTION There are several contiguous diseases and tuberculosis is one among them. This disease affects the lung function reducing the ability to fight the infection and later it infects the spine and brain. WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021

The infection is caused by a bacteria termed as “Mycobacterium tuberculosis”. Tuberculosis was a leading cause for deaths in the US back in the 20th century but presently it is cured with antibiotics. The medication takes at least 6-9 months to cure the infection. To prevent the infection, you must have awareness of the risk factors, symptoms and treatment. Tuberculosis is classified into two typeslatent TB and active TB. Latent TB doesn’t make you sick as your immune system fights against the infection. This type of TB is not contagious and won’t come with symptoms but the infection will be active still. There is a risk of infection increasing at any time for which you need to consult your doctor. Another type is active TB where you experience the symptoms and it is also contagious. Here, the harmful microorganisms multiply which shows it actively.

Tuberculosis signs and symptoms If you are seeing any of these symptoms persistently then you need to check with your doctor and detect it. Never ignore chest pain as it is a most common symptom. Cough persistent more than 3 weeks Pain in chest Coughing up blood Night sweats

Constant tiredness Chills, fever Loss of appetite Weight loss

Risk factors of Tuberculosis Transmission of TB from someone If you are a resident or have traveled to countries (Russia, Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean) where TB is more active If you are health worker for TB patients If you are a smoker A person’s strong immunity can fight against the infection. Similarly people with weaker immune systems may not be able to fight the infection. If you have certain diseases then it is tough to fend off TB. Some of the diseases that are risk factors that add to your low immunity are HIV/AIDS, diabetes, severe kidney disease, head and neck cancer, cancer treatment, low body weight, organ transplants and drugs that treat other health conditions.

Treatment for Tuberculosis For latent TB, doctors will give medication to kill the bacteria to stop infection from becoming active. Your doctor may prescribe the medicines isoniazid, rifapentine, or rifampin, either alone or together. These combinations are also given to treat active TB which you need to take for 6 to 12 months.

10 Common Skin Care Mistakes That May Affect Your Skin Quality WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021

Having a skincare routine is a must but what’s the use if you are not doing it right. In fact, you might be causing more harm to your skin with harsh treatment. And you are not intentionally committing those skin care blunders. Only if you realize, you will stop it. So, we are listing the possible and biggest skin care mistakes that many commit.

8


Sleeping with makeup One of the biggest mistakes is to sleep with makeup on. Wearing makeup is your choice but removing it before sleep is an ultimate thing to do. Makeup products are formulated with chemicals that may irritate your skin, increase bad bacteria. There is a possibility of dehydration of your skin as well. So never sleep with makeup!

Applying moisture in dry skin Are you applying the moisture everyday? But when applying the moisture over damp skin is good. It helps blending into your skin effectively. Also it prevents dust on your skin and works as a protective layer.

Washing your face with dirty hands This is a mistake many don’t realize even till the moment. You feel it’s fine to take dust filled hands in the face but it’s the cause for many skin issues like irritation, increased acne and itchiness. We advise you to clean your hands before washing or applying other skin care products on your face.

Are You Committing These Skin Care Mistakes?

9

Rubbing your face with a harsh towel After a gentle face wash, you pat and rub your face with a towel and that too harshly. So, the way you rub and the towel you use are the biggest skin care mistakes.

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021


BEAUTY Always use a soft towel and just pat dry your face with it. Don’t be harsh with your skin as it strips off the natural oils, peels sensitive skin.

Skipping sunscreen or never using it You feel that sunscreen is only for the people who expose their skin to sun and another myth is sunscreens are only for summers. Both these are the myths that deteriorate your skin condition.

Applying products with irritants It could be already high time that you have awareness of the chemical skin products and their effects on skin. Using beauty and skin care products with skin irritants can be a direct cause for breakouts, rashes, allergy and infections. So, check the ingredient list before buying a skincare product.

Ditch skin moisturizer Sunscreen is also to protect your skin from artificial sunlight and even during winter or monsoons. It is just that SPF varies with the heat intensity but sunscreen is a must for everyone. Pick a product that is perfect for your skin type or it becomes another big mistake.

Over Washing your face Washing your face too much can remove the natural oils on your skin. This leads to dryness, scaly patches, itchiness to your skin. Wash your face when it gets oily, sticky or greasy. Washing twice a day is well recommended and thrice a day is good too if you are sweating a lot or oil prone skin.

Washing your face with hot water Using hot water is a blunder. Neither too cold is good for your skin. You must use lukewarm or moderate temperate water to wash your face. Hot water can burn your skin and cold water can dry it out. Keep a check before splashing water on your face. WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021

Ditching a skin care moisturizer is a major mistake believing the myths. You might think that moisturizers are the culprits for breakouts and clogged pores. And oily skin people generally curse moisturizers. The skincare fact is moisturizing is a must for all skin types. But be mindful of the type of product you are choosing for your skin. Not using moisturizer can affect your skin texture, glow. So, consider it as a must follow in your skin care routine.

Popping acne Popping acne is a habit for many to get rid of pain, inflammation. But then you don’t realize you are hurting your skin and causing pain, spiking the inflammation. Bacteria spread from the pimples multiplies them and it leaves a dark spot on your skin. The best way to treat acne is to leave it to heal, let your skin breathe and feel better. And don’t touch your skin! 10

10 WAYS TO REMOVE

TOXICITY FROM YOUR LIFE

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021

30


It is common to have toxicity in life but what’s not right is getting carried away with it. It could be your habits, thoughts, people that you may have to remove which are toxic.

31

We have mentioned the possible things that you must get rid of to wash out the toxicity. As you remove the trash from your life, you will live a healthier and successful life. It also impacts your overall well being.So, implement these ways to remove toxicity from your life.

Get Rid Of Unwanted Things From Life Cut off the gossips Do you really want to remove toxicity from your life? Then cut off gossip that manipulates your thoughts, behavior and personality. Instead do the good deeds if possible or do something that progresses your life. This is the best way to divert yourself from toxicity.

Eliminate the clutter We all love to lay in bed and dump things in the corners of your rooms. But lately we realize that this clutter is toxic. Clear the clutter in your living space, organise your things and you will feel better than before. It calms your mind and gives you positive vibes.

Leave unsatisfying job Of course! Leaving your job on the spot can never be good advice. You can’t risk your bread earning but try to change it gradually. Look for a job that you love, learn the skills that make you eligible for a dream job. Who would want to continue toxicity even when they have an opportunity to quit. So create that opportunity!

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021


LIVE HAPPY

How unorganized are you? You are happy to be that but someday it hits you which is a realization of toxicity. So before it’s too late, start being organized with your work at the office, home or at class which can remove half of the toxicity.

Complain less and be thankful Replace your complaints with gratitude to get rid of toxicity in life. This is the best way you can help yourself to improve in life. Thankfulness can raise your hopes, positivity and strength. It slowly strikes

Say no to negative thoughts Are you letting in the negative thoughts that stirs up your jealousy, anger or fear then stop it right away as it is not good for your health and well being. These negative thoughts become the bin of toxicity someday so before that you must flush it away.

Don’t wake up to news Never expect the news around the world to be good as it can be an upset start of the day. Of course, updates and news is never bad but a basic thing to do. If reading news is your daily habit just forward it for noon time but not the way to kick start your fresh day. You can reduce toxicity in a day by delaying the new reading.

Stop being unorganized

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JUNE 2021

32


away anything negative within you as you are full of goodness.

Work more talk less When you talk more, you may tend to talk your mind which is not good all the time. It can ruin your mental status, the atmosphere, and ambience. Also it doesn’t mean you have to be calm or restrict yourself to unnecessary rules. Talk when it’s needed, cheer up your peers, ve open with your family, and communicate well. This is how your words are more valuable than just talking. So ultimately you get more time to be productive and talk less which means you are away from toxicity.

Never stay idle If you are a happy being then you are not idle. You are doing something that gives you happiness and if you idle then everything tastes bitter. Fetch for a job, activities, health improving ways that keep you occupied. That doesn’t mean you have to make money but it could be learning, a new experience or exposure to new things. Anything apart from being idle the whole time which keeps you away from toxicity.

Leave unhealthy relationships

33

Being alone is far better than having fake people around you. If you have realized that you are surrounded by people who are jealous of you, and have bad intentions for you then stay away from them. They try to add negativity through hurting comments, comparisons. Again, all that are sweet are not your friends. So, know who your true friends and who they are not. It is fine to limit your circle rather than a bunch of fools. It’s the matter of purity over quantity.
