For a week this word "Nipah Virus" is very familiar to everyone, especially in INDIA. It is shortly called as NiV. Though this one has history from 1999, this time it turns for INDIA to face it. Now Everyone may get shocked and have this question in mind that Nipah Virus is not a new one? Yes! it is not a new Virus. Read the detailed content below to know about it. 

Introduction:

It is an RNA (Ribonucleic acid) virus comes under Paramyxovidae (Birds, Vertebrates and humans are the natural hosts) family and it is identified as a Zoonotic pathogen (a disease that can spread from animals to humans). First, it is identified from Malaysia and Singapore in the year 1998 and 1999 from the severe respiratory illness from the Pig and encephalitic disease (Inflammation of brain) in humans.

How the Transmission happens?

Since it is a Zoonotic pathogen (a disease that can spread from animals to humans), there is a possibility to transfer from animals to humans. The source of this Transmission is from Pig & fruit Bat. It is found that human infections result from direct contact with sick pigs or with infected tissues. The transmission has occurred via respiratory droplets, contact with throat from the pigs and infected tissues of the sick animal. All the above-mentioned Transmission source are found from the outbreaks of Malaysia and Singapore. From the outbreaks of India & Bangladesh, it is found that infection happened through consumption of fruits contaminated with urine or saliva from infected fruit bat. very few transmission from human to human had reported previously. since the outbreaks from Bangladesh and India, it has come to know that half of the transmission happened through humans especially from visitors and Hospital staff's (take carers)

Symptoms:

Infected people may experience mild fever, sore throat, headache, muscle pain and vomiting followed by dizziness, drowsiness, altered consciousness and encephalitis. Encephalitis may lead to comma within 24 to 48 hrs. The incubation period for this disease is 4 - 14 days. To diagnose this disease, three test needed to take, they are ELISA, PCR & Virus isolation by cell culture.

Preventive Measures:

Still, there is no medicine for this disease, we can take some preventive measures to be safe and secure.

• Pig farms need to be cleaned regularly with some detergents.
• If any symptom is suspected from any animal then that particular animal should be quarantined. 
• Restriction from an infected farm to other places for that particular animal. 
• Animal health surveillance system needs to be implemented in domestic areas since there is a possibility of transmission from domestic animals also.
• it is suggested to wash hands frequently and cook the food properly before consumes it.
• Still, there is no Vaccine for this disease, Awareness programme needs to be done among public concentrating on transmission from Bat to Human, animal to human and Human to Human. 

Finally, it is come to know that this virus is very dangerous. so, from the preventive measures, we can keep yourself safe. If there is any medicine available in future, then it will be updated on this blog. There is a talk going on that "Gelsemium 200" is the medicine cures Nipah Virus but, there is no official announcement from World Health Organisation (WHO). Share this article with your friends.

What's happening on your body during Night time?

What Time Should You Sleep

Is there a best time to sleep? There is a saying that sleeping early and waking up early is good for your health. How true is that? Is it alright to sleep late and wake up late?

You actually have an amazing biological clock ticking inside your body. It is very precise. It helps to regulate your various body functions including your sleeping time.

From 11pm to 3am, most of your blood circulation concentrates in your liver. Your liver gets larger when filled with more blood. This is an important time when your body undergoes detoxification process. Your liver neutralizes and breaks down body toxins accumulated throughout the day.

However if you don't sleep at this time, your liver cannot carry out this detoxification process smoothly.

·         If you sleep at 11pm, you have full 4 hours to detoxify your body.
·         If you sleep at 12am, you have 3 hours.
·         If you sleep at 1am, you have 2 hours.
·         And if you sleep at 2am, you only have 1 hour to detoxify.
What if you sleep after 3am? Unfortunately, you won't have any time to actually detoxify your body. If you continue with this sleeping pattern, these toxins will accumulate in your body over time. You know what happens next.

What if you sleep late and wake up late?

Have you tried going to bed very late at night? Did you realize you feel very tired the next day no matter how much you sleep?

Sleeping late and waking up late is indeed very bad for your health. Besides not having enough time to detoxify your body, you will miss out other important body functions too.

From 3am to 5am, most blood circulation concentrates in your lung. What should you do at this moment? Well, you should exercise and breathe in fresh air. Take in good energy into your body, preferably in a garden. At this time, the air is very fresh with lots of beneficial negative ions.

From 5am to 7am, most blood circulation concentrates in your large intestine. What should you do at this moment? You should poop! Pass out all unwanted poop from your large intestine. Prepare your body to absorb more nutrients throughout the day.

From 7am to 9am, most blood circulation concentrates in your stomach. What should you do at this moment? Have your breakfast! This is your most important meal in a day. Make sure you have all the required nutrients from your breakfast. Not having breakfast causes lots of health problems for you in the future.

That's the way to start your day

There you are... the most ideal way to start your day. After fully detoxifying your blood during your sleep, you wake up fresh to inhale beneficial energy. Then you pass out unwanted poop from your large intestine. After that, you take in balanced nutrients to prepare your body for a new day.

No wonder people living in villages or farms is healthier. They sleep early and wake up early. They follow their natural biological clock.

Living in city, we have more difficulty in following this sleeping schedule. We have good lightning, TV and internet to delay our precious sleeping time.

Following your natural timetable

Once I know the importance of our biological clock, I try my best to follow it. If I wake up early, I usually start my day on the computer. But when I see the clock shows 7am, I know it's the best time for breakfast. So I'll try to have my breakfast before 9am for best absorption.

What if you're offered a night shift job? I recommend you to reject it even the salary is higher. For long term, you may need to spend more money for your health problems.

What if you have assignment to do until late at night? Well, why not sleep early and wake up earlier to do it? Just shift your work time from late night to early morning. You get the same time. But your body will appreciate it.

With this, try to follow this timing as close as possible. Make it your daily routine. I'm sure you will feel fresher and more energetic all day long.
