INTERVIEW

Dr.Saranjit Singh

(Physiotherapist)

Question:Why did you choose to become a doctor?

Answer:I respect human life and would like to dedicate my life in serving them. I want to save people from suffering both mentally and physically.

Question: Why did you choose your sector within health care ?

Answer: “My father was terribly sick when I was a teenager, and most of my free time was spent in a caregiving role. I admit I surprised myself by how fulfilling I found it. Even though I missed a lot of social events, it instilled in me a drive to provide that level of care to others, which I’ve done throughout my career.

Question: What do you see as the future of health care?

Answer: “With a wider variety of providers on care teams operating at the top of their licenses, I think it will be vital to pay attention to every perspective. Collaborative and connectivity apps will help providers build a cohesive team in patient care.”

Question:What are the unique and different skills you have, as a doctor?

Answer: as a doctor when there is a sick person who visits us, then we after diagnosing the patient give the list of prescribed tests and only then we give the required medicines. We shall explain the interviewers that prescribing medicines without any test is not your way of treating the patients.

Question:Your way of handling emergencies and the workload:

Answer: In case there is a medical emergency in the hospital , our first step will be to save the patient rather than getting engaged in the formalities. As a doctor we know our duties and will try our best in doing them. We will try to arrange all the specialists if required. Informing the police after taking care of the patients will be our duty.

Malnutrition In India

Malnutrition is India’s silent emergency and among India’s greatest human development challenges. Although India has seen strong economic growth over the past 20 years, malnutrition in children under five years of age continues to be among the highest in the world. Malnutrition affects children’s chances of survival, increases their susceptibility to illness, reduces their ability to learn, increases their chances of dropping out early from school, and makes them less productive in later life. Much of this undernourishment happens during pregnancy and in the first two years of a child’s life and, without appropriate interventions, the damage to brain development and future economic productivity is largely irreversible.

Effects-

·         It has long-ranging effects on health, learning ability and productivity and has high social and public costs leading to reduced work capacity due to high rates of illness and disability.

·         In children, malnutrition tends to lower IQ and impairs cognitive ability, thus, affecting their school performance and productivity in later life.

·         Low-birth weight babies have impaired immune function but are at a greater risk of non-communicable diseases during their adulthood also.

Malnutrition negatively effects brain development causing delays in motor and cognitive development, such as:

• Attention deficit disorder
• Decreased IQ scores
• Memory deficiency
• Learning disabilities
• Reduced social skills
• Reduced language development
• Reduced problem-solving abilities

The causes of malnutrition in India can be categorised under the following headings:

The lack of knowledge of appropriate dietary practices and high incidence of infectious diseases are other key factors apart from lack of access to a variety of foods. On the other hand, with increasing level of disposable income among the urban population, there is increasing consumption of junk food and packaged food which is leading to malnutrition in urban areas as well.

Steps taken by Indian Government:

·         The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme was launched in 1975. ICDS is one of the world’s largest and most unique outreach programme for early childhood care and development and covers all the districts and blocks in the country.

• Mid- Day Meal Scheme was universalized in 1995.

Under Swatchh Bharat Mission, constructing toilets and providing clean drinking water are being taken up by the Government on a war footing to provide clean living conditions and good health to one and all

Health and Fitness

If you just want to learn more about strength training and nutrition to build a better body then your first step is to figure out your “maintenance level” i.e, Health and fitness of your body

How you eat and move your body — is about empowerment; becoming the best version of yourself. Health and fitness should reduce your stress, build you up, and make your life better. It should show you the incredible things your body can do, and then leave you wanting to discover what else it is capable of.

NUTRITION IS MUST…

Nutrition is about eating well, simply.

·         Not dieting.

·         Not avoiding foods (because that leads to obsessive, disordered, and binge eating habits).

·         Not feeling guilty when you indulge in your favorite dessert (or pizza, or whatever you love).

Health and fitness is not about “earning your food” or punishing yourself for eating. It’s about moving your body in ways you enjoy — getting stronger, and becoming more awesome.

How to Build Muscle on a Vegetarian Diet

Protein is important for building muscle (and losing fat). But what do you do on a vegetarian diet?

A vegetarian diet is a common approach for most people looking to follow a healthier lifestyle. It can feel difficult to fill the gaps on a meatless diet, especially when it comes to protein, which is a key to building muscle and losing fat. Ok, you reflected on what you want and decided to follow a vegetarian lifestyle. But you’re also interested in building muscle (or making sure you don’t lose the muscle you’ve already earned). How do you do it?

Vegetarian Diet Muscle: Start with Calories

Your first step is to figure out your “maintenance level,” or the number of calories you must eat to keep your weight consistent.

If you’re losing weight,you can bump up calories. Add about 100 per day across a week — so, if you were eating 2000 calories per day last week, you’d bump up to 2100 calories per day this week.

If you find you’re gaining weight, do the opposite. Drop a hundred calories per day.

When you reach a number that keeps your weight consistent, then You’re at the maintenance level.But if your goal is to add muscle, you can’t just stop there. To gain muscle, you need to eat more calories than you burn.

How Much Protein, Fat, and Carbs Do Vegetarians Need?

Your protein intake will not actually be based on your total energy intake. Your target protein number should be based on how much lean body mass you have.You can eat more than that, but you don’t need to. The times when you might want to consume more protein would be if you are gaining weight too quickly because you are hungry all the time. Protein is pretty filling, and going above your bodyweight-based target may help you feel fuller longer.

You also have to live in the body you’re building every day. So create a rating scale for yourself, say, from 1 to 5. Each day, rate how you feel on the qualitative aspects of your life. These include:

• sleep
• energy
• hunger
• mood
• mental clarity
• workout quality or enjoyment
