We are constantly exposed to various types of infections as humans. From the common cold to more serious infections like pneumonia or sepsis, these illnesses can be fatal if not treated properly. There are, however, ways to prevent and avoid contracting these common infections. Here are some pointers on how to avoid dying from a common infection. Wash your hands One of the easiest and most effective ways to stop the spread of infections is to wash your hands often. This simple act can help remove germs and bacteria from your hands, which can lead to infections. Wash your hands before and after eating, use the restroom, and do not come into contact with someone who is sick. Get Vaccinated Vaccines are an important tool in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases.

Health, wellness, physical activity, and fitness are all related ideas, but we can't use them all the same way. Each of these terms has its own unique definition and purpose. We can make conscious decisions about how to best care for our overall well-being when we have a thorough understanding of the distinctions between these concepts.   A person is said to be healthy when they are in a state of complete mental, physical, and social well-being. It is not simply the absence of disease or infirmity; rather, it is a state of optimal functioning in every aspect of one's life. You can live a healthy life by making a number of healthy choices every day. These choices include eating a diet that is balanced, getting enough sleep, effectively managing stress, and avoiding harmful behaviours such as smoking.   The concept of W ellness refers to more than just one's physical health; rather, it emphasises one's overall sense of balance and harmony. In addition to one's p

"Over the past century, the death rate per person from infectious diseases has dropped sharply, but the death rate per person from non-communicable diseases has stayed about the same." (Kostoff) Every year, chronic "noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) " claim the lives of 41 million people, or 71% of all fatalities worldwide. Disease reversal has become a topic in and of itself due to the lack of definitive treatments. New research has shown that certain diseases can be reversed under the right conditions. Many chronic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers, can be reversed or controlled by modifying one's lifestyle and diet. Diabetes is one of the world's most common health problems. It has been discovered that reducing calorie intake and making lifestyle changes, such as engaging in regular physical activity, can reverse the disease and reduce reliance on medication. Both Harvard and Los Angeles County research studies were able t

    Over the past few years, there has been an increasing emphasis placed on overall medical wellness, which is the practice of combining medical treatments with wellness programmes to promote overall health and well-being in different parts of the world. This approach has gained popularity due to its ability to address the root causes of health issues and improve patients' quality of life. As a result, many healthcare providers are incorporating wellness programmes into their medical practices.   we welcome the initiative of NMC for including this aspect of health in its new amendment of medical curriculum.   This way of thinking about health care is based on the idea that physical, emotional, and spiritual health are all connected and that taking care of all three can lead to better health. Medical wellness is not just about treating illnesses, but also about preventing them. By adopting a holistic approach to health care, individuals can improve their quality of life and reduce
