Let’s Talk About Sex Health Benefits, Baby

1. Sex Relieves Stress

A study shows that sex reduces blood pressure, and therefore overall stress. Even the simple act of hugging has been shown to lower blood pressure in women.

2. Sex Boosts Immunity

Good sexual health equals good physical health. Even sex just once a week can help your body make antibodies (immunoglobulin) that keep your from getting colds and infections.

3. Sex Burns Calories

Half an hour of sex can burn 85 calories, sometimes even more. And you thought celery was good. Sex is a full body workout and daily sex is a great exercise routine, a sexologist confirms, since you will have to work in order to do perform it well.

4. Sex Improves Heart Health

Studies show that having sex at least twice a week can reduce heart attack risk by 50%. Imagine the benefits from daily sex. Older people may worry about the association of sex and stroke, but these claims have been proven untrue.

5. Sex Boosts Self-Esteem

Increased sex means increased desire, intimate time spent with someone else, and results in improved self-esteem. Some people, who aren’t necessarily lacking in self-esteem, claim to have sex because it makes them “feel better”. Well, of course it does!

6. Sex Improves Intimacy

Orgasms increase the level of oxytocin in your system, which is a hormone that makes you feel really good. Otherwise known as the love hormone, oxytocin helps to relax while building the bonds of trust. That means the more sex you have, the more love you will feel for your partner.

7. Sex Reduces Pain

Oxytocin isn’t the only hormone that your body releases during sex. Endorphins are feel-good hormones, effective in relieving pain. So, like I said earlier, pains like headache (and even PMS symptoms) can greatly improve after having sex.

8. Sex Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk

Older men and younger men alike can reduce the risk of prostate cancer by having more sex. Just 5 weekly ejaculations show that men in their 2os reduce their chances of getting prostate cancer by one-third; older men can reduce the risk by having 21 ejaculations a month.

9. Sex Strengthens Pelvic Floor Muscles

Pelvic floor muscle exercises (or Kegel exercises, as they’re commonly called) can really help increase sexual sensation, and overall health. Contracting these muscles during sex not only feels great, but can help reduce the possibility of incontinence later in life.

10. Sex Enhances Sleep

Oxytocin – what can’t it do? Not only does it make you more intimate, but it also helps relaxation and studies show it is easier to fall asleep after your body has released oxytocin.

So there you are. Get a couple candles, turn the lights down low, and make yourselves comfortable. You’re about to get healthy

All chats and calls are confidential - Mediczy App

Patients can chat with the doctor and also share pictures and reports of the ailment with the doctors privately. 

Mediczy App claims that their product has been designed to give the best experience to patients with complete privacy. So far majority of Mediczy users have come from major cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, ­NCR, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Dr Namrata Mishra (​MS Gynaecology, Mumbai) s​ays, “​People are still afraid to approach doctors to talk about their gynecological issues. I have seen that mobile consultations help people overcome this problem. In Gynecology, most of the problems can be handled through the app.​”
About their target audience Team mentioned that – busy folks who can’t visit doctors for minor ailments, users who want privacy when it comes to psychiatric or sexual inquiries and people living in smaller towns without easy access to doctors – form a major chunk of their user base.

This truly is the future of healthcare in India

If we look at all the industries that have been disrupted by e-start-ups, a few things stand out. First, of course, were the inefficiencies in the prevailing system—low penetration, a demand-supply imbalance, fragmentation of services, ill-informed customers and high costs. Second, and perhaps even more important, is changing the mind-set that governs consumption patterns in these industries.

It is this disruption that is more fundamental and transformational in nature. Before Amazon, no one would have dreamt of buying clothes or expensive gadgets without first trying them on. Similarly, before Airbnb and Uber changed our mind-set; staying in a stranger’s house or travelling in a stranger’s car would have been unthinkable!

Something similar has now started happening to healthcare in India. Consider this: 70% of the healthcare infrastructure is concentrated in the top 20 cities that account for only 28-30 % of the population in India. Additionally, the doctor to patient ratio in India is 1:1700, i.e. much below the standard WHO norm of 1:1000. Add to that, 76% of the population is not covered by a government, individual or privately sponsored health insurance thus, increasing out of pocket expenditure on healthcare for all strata of the society.

Along with these ills are the parochial mind-sets governing healthcare. The approach towards healthcare is very episodic in nature, to the extent that one consults a doctor only when one falls ill. India, infact most countries across the world, lack infrastructure that allows regular monitoring and instant detection of diseases, consequently increasing costs, as patients are charged on a fee-for-service basis, irrespective of the clinical outcomes.

India requires an all- inclusive long-term strategy to strengthen the foundation of healthcare. There is an immediate need to instil a preventive care mind-set across the eco-system comprising of healthcare providers, insurance companies, patients, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, the broken linkages within the eco-system need to be connected for capturing comprehensive patient data required for continuity of care.

But e-healthcare start-ups in India are now starting to change these mind-sets. In the process, they have started a revolution that will not only transform the industry, but make healthcare more accessible and affordable.

Some of this process is well documented by the media, especially when it comes to e-healthcare start-ups that provide information aggregation and e-Consultation, aswell as door-step service to patients. While many platforms offer patients greater choice, they don't address issues of time, travel and costs, at this stage.

However, three of the most disruptive and transformational processes initiated by newer e-healthcare start-ups are less known.

Patient-centric care

What is most interesting is the virtuous cycle that the combination of technology and Big Data has set in motion. Greater usage of digitised services results in capturing more data—structured and unstructured—which, in turn, helps in enhanced analytics and predictive healthcare.

This is allowing patient-centric care to truly emerge. The ability to collect and analyse data in real time and act upon it makes for timely interventions. These, technology enabled, interventions are customised as per a patient’s past / family medical history, lifestyle, economic situation and other circumstances unique to each.

The emerging model of patient-centric care is therefore a hybrid model—Hi-Tech as well as Hi-Touch. The use of technology allows it to provide for care that is personalised, enabling, and co-ordinated and that treats people with compassion and respect across the entire spectrum of wellness, prevention, cure and care.

Preventive healthcare

Perhaps the biggest benefit e-healthcare providers can offer is in the area of preventive health—an aspect almost completely ignored by the traditional healthcare systems around the world. It would perhaps not be unfair to say that while India has been able to establish a medical response system of sorts, it has failed to create a coherent, affordable and sustainable healthcare system.

Traditionally, our focus has been on treating illness when it occurs. This is evident from the alarming rise in preventable diseases such as diabetes, IHD – ischemic heart diseases which, prevented or detected early could shave off a significant portion of India’s disease burden.

This is a focus area for new-age healthcare start-ups. From EHRs as well as tracking the dietary, exercise and sleeping patterns of customers, they can build an information base and then, through technology facilitated Doctor Consultations, counsel customers to adopt healthier lifestyles.

Predictive interventions

By using the latest technologies, e-healthcare start-ups are venturing into realms that were impossible for traditional service providers. Wearables or implanted devices allow start-ups to continuously monitor patients’ health data, also giving these companies a better view of their customers’ lifestyle and health.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) helps structure and analyse the stream of data captured in the cloud by Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and do predictive analytics after comparing it to the patients’ medical and family history as captured in Electronic Health Records (EHRs). This mechanism enables the e-healthcare provider to nip a medical emergency in the bud, often even before it happens—with obvious savings on costs of emergency care and attendant escalations.

With devices, which can monitor and transmit vital data, getting cheaper patients now have a healthcare providers who remotely monitor their health on a continuous basis, rather than the episodic manner of traditional providers.

Tailored insurance services

While it is true that insurance penetration in India is low, it is also growing at a fast clip, especially among the middle-class. Since e-healthcare providers have easy access to patient data and the ability to analyse this data, using cloud services and AI technologies, they are able to recommend insurance plans that are tailored to customer’s needs and circumstances.

We now see the emergence of dynamic and usage based pricing in health insurance that are similar to pricing models that telcos have successfully adopted for reducing complexities.

In fact, traditional insurance companies are increasingly depending on new-age healthcare providers to create viable and helpful insurance schemes for their customers.

This truly is the future of healthcare in India.

How to solve Physics Problems in NEET

In this article, we are sharing the most important things required while solving any numerical based problem.

As we know, Physics has always been considered to be the most complicated subject. Physics, especially for NEET requires a very keen conceptual approach along with basic theoretical knowledge to the problems. Moreover, there are many derivations and Formulas which requires a good level of Mathematical approach to get to the final result or answers.

In order to crack the questions and scoring good marks in physics, a proper strategy and planning are required. In this article, we emphasize that how the student should ride the ladder from the basic Physics to the Complex topics which will be useful from the examinations point of view!!

1. Stay Calm, No need to Panic

I know it would be easy in words but it's tough to follow. Usually, when we face a question, our mind automatically create a certain framework that whether it is a tough question or an easy one. But hold on, the moment you put a tag to a question that it is a difficult one, then I'm quite sure you would not be able to solve it, even though it won't be that difficult. This state of mind does more harm than help you. It acts as a trigger to rush down negativity in your entire blood!!

That’s the time where you need to act smart and stay calm. Take a deep breath and then just go on!!

Try to apply the basic approach to that particular problem as there are many questions which are easy but asked in a tricky manner due to which students get confused. If you know all the important formula and rest basic tricks then, surely you will get the answer. The main strategy here is that you just have to stay calm and be composed all the time while doing numerical, recall the concept and formulas, apply them confidently and gradually will lead to the perfect answer!!

2. Identify the topic of the problem.

What exactly is the question saying and what they want in the answer is also an important aspect in the section of physics. Whether the question is about wave optics or Ray optics? Figure out the context first. There is no need to understand all the textual part in the question if it’s a simple numerical. Read the entire problem with focusing on the main points and parallel you should start the question with a very basic approach.

3. Read the Question Properly

By identifying the problem, you now know what exactly the question is all about. Many times, the students read the question once and start directly putting the formula due to which they miss the important content that could be a major aspect of that particular problem. The students are advised to read the question more than one time as it will be beneficial to reach the exact correct answer.

There are many problems in which the statement like “Car is starting from the rest” The initial time will be zero in that case and the initial velocity will also be zero!

4. Organize the Information

Theoretically, a problem contains a lot of words which are sometimes irrelevant to the questions but also in many cases you get to know the effect of that word in the problem later. Just For example, if the question says “ A bus that starts moving from rest and takes 7 min to reach a speed of 25 km/hr, then you should surely note down the basic variable quantities like:

Initial velocity(u) = 0 km/hr

Time(final) = 7 min

Final Velocity(v) = 25 km/hr

Acceleration (a) = ?

This problem does not require any extra approach. All you need is to focus on the important points and make a linear equation using Laws of Motion which will be easy for you to solve.

5. Make a proper figure for the Problem

Preparing a proper figure for the question in Physics reduces half of the difficulty of any problem. All you need is to make a rough layout and keep drawing as the question says. If the question is from Force, Mechanics, Gravitation then you need to just resolve the force acting in its Sine and Cosine resolves.

You don't need to be in good in drawing but should draw a neat diagram and keep on solving as the question says.

6. Units and Dimension

The units and dimensions are the bases of any Answer or the Variable. The questions in NEET and all Other Exams consist of problems where the entire information is given in the different units and the answer is asked in some other specific units.

The easiest way is to learn the conversions. Also, always figure out the units of the questions. Sometimes, in question the units are given in MKS system and answer is asked in SI. So make sure you are able to figure this out.

If we continue our last example where time was 7 min then we can convert it in Hour by dividing it by 60 min.

7. Formula Should be right!

If you are in confusion, write down all the related formulas in front of you and then by using variables given in questions, you can easily deduce which particular formula to be used. I would suggest you write down the formulas in the blank area rather than on the question as it's prohibited.

8. Solve

Using the above formulas, solve the entire questions. If there are more than one equations then you should solve it simultaneously. Also, try not to do excessive calculations and making a normal solution complex.

9. Match your Answer

After doing the solution, match your final result to the answer given in the option. Many times there are many answers approximately closer to the resulting value of the final answer so in such case we should choose the nearest value to that particular result.

10. Practice as much as you can

For scoring good in the entire section of Physics you need to practice as many questions you can.

How to prepare for NEET 2018 in One Year: Tips and Tricks for Dropper!

How to prepare for NEET 2018 in One Year: Tips and Tricks for Dropper!

National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) is one of the toughest competitive medical tests for students who wish to pursue medical courses, MBBS and BDS (dental course). The number of attempts allowed to any aspirant appearing for NEET is limited to three and consequently, the pressure to score well in NEET increases with each failing attempt. Thus, it becomes very important to prepare for NEET properly in order to crack it. In this article, you will learn how to prepare for NEET 2018 in One year from a Dropper, Russaal Singh Mann (AIR 60, NEET 2017 and AIR 139, AIIMS 2017). He understood the challenge of being a dropper and with immense hard work and focus was able to excel in all Medical Entrance Exam with flying colors. He has shared some very valuable tips and tricks from his dropping year.

Don't give up:

It doesn't matter if you qualified last year, or what your marks were. These things don't matter at all as soon as you have decided that you will study really hard this time and are highly motivated to get your desired college. I agree that it may require an insane amount of hard work and focus but if you are determined, you can get top 10 rank this time regardless of your last year's performance. I got AIR 3436 in the year 2016 and got Goa Medical College, but my goal was always Delhi. So I left the college under heavy criticism from teachers, friends and lot of other people.

They say that a dropper usually doesn’t make it in the top 100 and those who do its sheer out of luck. Don’t listen to them.

Be Proud:

Take pride in being a dropper because you have decided to make yourself successful whereas others have given up already and are studying things they hate. It may take 1 year, 2 years or even 3 but as long as you get to fulfill your dream it's worth the risk, the time and the effort.

Accept the Challenge:

Taking a drop is nothing to be ashamed of but whether you succeed or not depends on you and no one else. You can have the best coaching, the best teachers, the best notes, but if you don't put in the hours, it is worthless. Every year there are people who have more privileges as compared to others. Yes, I m talking about those who are children of Doctors and those who have lot of money to get them to the best coaching, but where is your competitive edge? It’s for you to muster it up and out-think them, out-smart them, out-work them. But I won’t be out-worked. You must be willing to challenge yourself by putting yourself in the perpetual state of discomfort.

Stay Motivated:

I want to ask you one question: What do you want to be remembered for? I hope you want to be remembered as a grinder who fights his/her way through all the problems and negativity. Do not give up on yours goals and your dreams. Wake up early and stay up late. Stay focused and try to finish every single goal every single day. Nobody can give you the effort that you need. Nobody can tell you when you are successful. You know when you are successful.

Join a Test Series:

Joining a test Series is a great way to stick to the right path and evaluate your performance. Don’t forget one thing - some say that if you don't score well in the mock tests, you may not get a top rank, which is completely untrue. I used to get only around 500+ marks in these tests whereas there were students in my batch who used to get 650+. I personally believe, that the difficulty level of these tests is too high and may sometimes mislead the aspirant and make them depressed. I’ll urge candidates to think of these test as guidelines.

If you are scoring 480+ then all is well, just study regularly and the you will be surprised by your final result like I was.

The other thing that I would like to clarify about the test series is that I see students joining 3-4 test series having different syllabus at different periods of times which makes it difficult for the student to focus on one chapter. So I will suggest that join only one test series and follow it religiously.

In my case I joined Mediczy, and focused on only simple tests, My friends used to top the test series with 650+ marks and I was a student who used to get around 500+ marks only.The purpose of NEET and AIIMS is that even a child from a village who can only afford to have NCERT can become a doctor. For the same reason, these exams are much easier and comparatively less calculative. Even in AIIMS the physics questions were easy. I found that some of them were just copied and pasted from NCERT and NCERT exemplar. People from very humble backgrounds have top 100 rank just by Self Study. So, I think if you have determination and motivation you too can get the top rank.

Stick to the routine:

About my routine, the classes for boys were in the afternoon. So, from a day bird, I had to become a night owl. I used to wake up around 11:30-12:00 am and then quickly used to go to attend physics/ chemistry lectures in the afternoon and after coming back, I used to study till 6 am in the morning. I am glad that I never used to study continuously and instead take a lot of short breaks in between. I wasn’t a topper but anyone can get top 100 rank if he/she sticks to the syllabus and studies continuously everyday. In my case, apart from sleeping and eating, the rest of my time was only devoted to studies for this one year duration.

Join a Coaching Institute:

Teachers in coaching institutes will help you a lot. They will tell you the ways to remember things. They will tell you to solve paper faster, solve physics problems faster. You can’t do that by seeing any youtube videos or self-study.I took a drop at ALLEN Kota for a simple reason that they were giving 90% off to students who had scored under 3500 rank in NEET 2016. Mediczy Providing Online Training individually and something Good for Home preparation.

Set your Priorities:

I was serious about AIIMS in 11 and 12 but while during my Drop Year, my focus completely shifted towards NEET because MBBS degree doesn’t have much value now. It has been observed that a PG degree is a must if one wants to excel in this field. So I totally gave my attention to NEET and focused myself on getting a college in Delhi so that I can avail 50% reservation during PG.
