High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Maximizing Fitness in Busy Lives
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Maximizing Fitness in Busy Lives
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for Busy Lifestyles: In today's fast-paced world, finding time for regular exercise can be challenging. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has emerged as a popular and effective workout regimen for individuals with busy lifestyles. HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of rest or low-intensity activity, making it efficient and time-saving while delivering significant fitness benefits. Continental Hospital Hyderabad recognizes the importance of incorporating HIIT into busy schedules to improve overall health and fitness. Let's explore HIIT in detail and how it can benefit individuals with hectic lifestyles. Understanding High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a popular exercise technique that involves short bursts of intense activity followed by periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. It's known for being a time-efficient way to improve your fitness. Here's a breakdown: Intensity: During the high-intensity intervals, you push yourself to near maximum effort. This could be sprinting, jumping jacks, or intense cycling.Intervals: These intense periods are typically short, lasting between 20 seconds to 3 minutes.Recovery: In between the high-intensity bursts, you have rest periods where you recover at a lower intensity or take a complete break. These recovery periods can be similar or even slightly longer than the intense intervals.A typical HIIT workout includes a warm-up, several rounds of high-intensity intervals followed by recovery periods, and a cool-down. The entire workout can be as short as 10-30 minutes, making it ideal for busy schedules. Despite the short duration, HIIT can deliver similar health benefits as longer moderate-intensity workouts. The Core Principles of HIIT: Intensity: HIIT workouts involve working at near-maximal effort during intense intervals, pushing the heart rate to higher levels than steady-state cardio.Interval Structure: HIIT alternates between work intervals (high intensity) and rest or recovery intervals (low intensity or complete rest). The intervals can vary in duration depending on fitness levels and goals.Adaptability: HIIT workouts can be customized to suit individual fitness levels, preferences, and time constraints. They can be performed using various exercises, equipment, and intensity levels.Efficiency: Due to its high intensity and short duration, HIIT offers time-efficient workouts that deliver significant fitness benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased metabolism, and fat loss. The Benefits of HIIT for Busy Lifestyles: Time Efficiency: HIIT workouts can be completed in as little as 10-30 minutes, making them ideal for individuals with limited time for exercise.Calorie Burn: HIIT's intense intervals increase calorie expenditure during and after the workout, leading to enhanced fat burning and weight management.Cardiovascular Health: HIIT improves cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and heart health by challenging the cardiovascular system with intense intervals.Metabolic Boost: HIIT stimulates the metabolism, leading to increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation, even during periods of rest.Muscle Preservation: HIIT can help preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss, making it suitable for individuals aiming for a leaner physique.Variety and Fun: HIIT offers a variety of exercises and workout formats, keeping workouts engaging and enjoyable, which can increase adherence and motivation. Dos and Don'ts of HIIT: Dos:Start with a warm-up to prepare the body for intense exercise.Gradually increase intensity and duration as fitness improves.Stay hydrated and listen to your body's signals during workouts.Incorporate a mix of cardio and strength-based HIIT exercises for overall fitness.Include rest or active recovery periods between intense intervals to allow for recovery.Don'ts: Overdo it with too much intensity or frequency, especially for beginners.Neglect proper form and technique during exercises to avoid injury.Skip the cool-down and stretching after HIIT workouts, as they help with recovery.Ignore signs of fatigue or discomfort; modify exercises or take breaks as needed.Rely solely on HIIT; incorporate other forms of exercise for a well-rounded fitness routine. When to Seek Help: While HIIT is generally safe for most individuals, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider or fitness professional before starting a new exercise program, especially for those with underlying health conditions or injuries. Seek medical advice if you experience persistent pain, discomfort, or unusual symptoms during or after HIIT workouts. Treatment Options: The primary "treatment" for busy lifestyles incorporating HIIT is consistency and adherence to a regular workout schedule. Continuity in HIIT sessions, combined with proper nutrition, hydration, and adequate rest, can maximize the benefits of HIIT for overall health and fitness. Why Choose Continental Hospital Hyderabad for Fitness Guidance: Continental Hospital Hyderabad offers comprehensive fitness guidance and support for individuals seeking to incorporate HIIT into their busy lifestyles. Our team of experienced fitness trainers, physiotherapists, and wellness experts provides personalized workout plans, coaching, and education on HIIT techniques, ensuring safe and effective workouts tailored to individual goals and fitness levels.

Conclusion: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a valuable fitness tool for busy individuals seeking efficient, effective, and enjoyable workouts. By understanding the core principles of HIIT, dos and don'ts, when to seek help, and the benefits it offers, individuals can harness the power of HIIT to improve cardiovascular health, boost metabolism, and achieve fitness goals even with hectic schedules. Continental Hospital Hyderabad's expertise in fitness guidance and HIIT coaching ensures safe, tailored workouts that promote overall health and well-being for individuals with busy lifestyles.

Exploring the Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation Practices
Exploring the Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation Practices
In today's fast-paced world, where stress and distractions abound, the practice of mindfulness meditation has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance well-being and promote inner peace. Rooted in ancient contemplative traditions, mindfulness meditation involves paying deliberate attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the profound benefits of mindfulness meditation practices, backed by scientific research and centuries of wisdom. Understanding Mindfulness Meditation Understanding mindfulness meditation begins with recognizing its fundamental principle: cultivating present-moment awareness with an attitude of openness and nonjudgment. At its essence, mindfulness meditation involves anchoring attention to the sensations of the breath, bodily experiences, or sensory perceptions, allowing thoughts and emotions to arise and pass without getting entangled in them. This practice fosters a deep sense of inner calm and clarity as individuals learn to observe the fluctuations of the mind with curiosity and compassion, rather than reacting impulsively or being swept away by automatic patterns of thought. By training the mind to be more present and attentive, mindfulness meditation offers a transformative path to self-awareness, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. Furthermore, mindfulness meditation is not limited to formal sitting practice but extends to everyday activities, such as eating, walking, or even washing dishes. By bringing mindful awareness to mundane tasks, individuals can infuse their daily lives with greater presence and intentionality, experiencing each moment with heightened clarity and appreciation. This integration of mindfulness into daily life fosters a deeper connection to oneself, others, and the world around us, enriching our experience of life and empowering us to navigate its challenges with greater resilience and equanimity. Benefits of Mindfulness Meditation 1.  Stress Reduction : One of the most well-documented benefits of mindfulness meditation is its ability to reduce stress. Studies have shown that regular meditation practice can lower levels of cortisol, the body's primary stress hormone, and promote relaxation responses. By training the mind to focus on the present moment and let go of worries, mindfulness meditation helps individuals navigate life's challenges with greater ease and equanimity. 2.  Improved Mental Health : Mindfulness meditation has been linked to numerous mental health benefits, including reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. By increasing self-awareness and acceptance, mindfulness helps individuals develop a more balanced relationship with their thoughts and emotions, reducing reactivity and rumination. 3.  Enhanced Emotional Regulation : Through mindfulness meditation, individuals learn to observe their emotions without becoming overwhelmed or reactive. This nonjudgmental awareness allows them to respond to emotional experiences with greater clarity and resilience, reducing the impact of negative emotions and promoting emotional well-being. 4.  Increased Focus and Concentration : Mindfulness meditation strengthens the brain's attentional circuits, improving focus, concentration, and cognitive performance. By training the mind to sustain attention on a chosen object, such as the breath or bodily sensations, individuals can enhance their ability to stay present and engaged in daily activities. 5.  Enhanced Self-Compassion : Mindfulness fosters a sense of kindness and compassion towards oneself and others. By cultivating an attitude of self-compassion, individuals can respond to their own suffering with kindness and understanding, reducing self-criticism and promoting emotional resilience. 6.  Improved Sleep Quality : Mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve sleep quality by reducing insomnia symptoms and enhancing relaxation. By calming the mind and body, mindfulness helps individuals unwind before bedtime and create conditions conducive to restful sleep. 7.  Reduced Symptoms of Chronic Pain : Mindfulness meditation has been found to be effective in managing chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia, back pain, and migraines. By increasing awareness of bodily sensations and cultivating acceptance, individuals can reduce the intensity of pain and improve their quality of life. 8.  Enhanced Relationship Satisfaction : Mindfulness meditation promotes greater empathy, communication, and emotional intimacy in relationships. By developing present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental listening skills, individuals can cultivate deeper connections with their partners, friends, and family members. Practical Tips for Mindfulness Meditation Practice 1.  Start Small : Begin with short meditation sessions, gradually increasing the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice. Even just a few minutes of mindfulness meditation each day can yield significant benefits over time. 2.  Find a Quiet Space : Choose a quiet and comfortable space for meditation, free from distractions and interruptions. You can sit on a cushion or chair with your back straight and your hands resting on your lap or knees. 3.  Focus on the Breath : Use the breath as an anchor for your attention, noticing the sensations of each inhale and exhale. Whenever your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to the breath, without judgment or frustration. 4.  Practice Nonjudgmental Awareness : Allow thoughts, emotions, and sensations to arise and pass without trying to control or suppress them. Practice observing them with curiosity and acceptance, as if watching clouds passing through the sky. 5.  Be Patient and Persistent : Like any skill, mindfulness meditation requires practice and patience. Be kind to yourself and recognize that your mind will wander at times this is natural. Simply return to the present moment with gentleness and compassion. Conclusion Mindfulness meditation is a powerful practice with far-reaching benefits for mental, emotional, and physical well-being. By cultivating present-moment awareness and acceptance, individuals can reduce stress, enhance resilience, and live with greater clarity and compassion. Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or simply looking to enhance your overall quality of life, mindfulness meditation offers a profound path to healing and transformation. Start your journey today, and discover the profound benefits of mindfulness for yourself.

Mastering Anxiety: Practical Strategies for Conquering
Mastering Anxiety: Practical Strategies for Conquering
Anxiety is a common human experience that can manifest in various forms, from everyday worries to debilitating panic attacks. In today's fast-paced world, managing anxiety has become essential for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. Fortunately, there are practical strategies and coping techniques that can help individuals conquer stress and thrive in their daily lives. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore effective ways to master anxiety and regain control over your mental health. Understanding Anxiety Before diving into strategies for managing anxiety, it's crucial to understand what anxiety is and how it affects our lives. Anxiety is a natural response to stress or perceived threats, but when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can interfere with our ability to function effectively. Common symptoms of anxiety include excessive worry, restlessness, irritability, muscle tension, and difficulty concentrating. By recognizing the signs of anxiety, individuals can take proactive steps to address their mental health concerns. Practical Strategies for Conquering Anxiety 1. Deep Breathing and Relaxation Techniques:   Deep breathing and relaxation techniques are essential tools for managing anxiety and promoting overall well-being. Incorporating these practices into your daily routine can help you reduce stress, calm your mind, and improve your physical health. Here are some effective techniques to try: Diaphragmatic Breathing: Also known as "belly breathing," diaphragmatic breathing involves taking deep breaths to fully expand your diaphragm and fill your lungs with air. Start by inhaling deeply through your nose, allowing your abdomen to rise as you fill your lungs with air. Then exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing tension and stress with each breath. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR): PMR is a technique that involves systematically tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups in your body. Start by tensing a muscle group, such as your shoulders or fists, for a few seconds, then release the tension and allow the muscles to relax completely. Move through each muscle group, from your toes to your head, to promote overall relaxation. 2. Mindfulness Meditation:   Mindfulness meditation is a practice that involves paying deliberate attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. By cultivating mindfulness, you can develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and sensations, allowing you to respond to life's challenges with clarity and resilience. Here's how to incorporate mindfulness meditation into your daily routine: Breath Awareness: Start by focusing your attention on your breath, noticing the sensation of each inhale and exhale. Whenever your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your breath, anchoring yourself in the present moment. Body Scan: Practice a body scan meditation by systematically bringing your awareness to different parts of your body, starting from your toes and moving up to your head. Notice any sensations, tensions, or areas of discomfort without judgment, allowing yourself to relax and let go of tension.Mindful Movement: Engage in activities such as yoga, tai chi, or walking meditation, where you can bring mindful awareness to the movements of your body. Notice the sensations, rhythm, and flow of each movement, staying present in the moment and letting go of distractions. 3. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and other mental health issues. By learning new coping skills and strategies, you can effectively manage anxiety and improve your quality of life. Here's how CBT can help: Understanding Thought Patterns: In CBT, you'll learn to recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, such as catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, and mind reading. By identifying these patterns, you can develop more balanced and realistic ways of thinking. Behavioral Experiments: CBT often involves conducting behavioral experiments to test the accuracy of your thoughts and beliefs. By gathering evidence and challenging your assumptions, you can gain a more objective perspective and reduce the power of anxiety-provoking thoughts. 4. Healthy Lifestyle Habits:   Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for managing anxiety and promoting overall well-being. By prioritizing self-care and adopting healthy habits, you can improve your physical and mental health, reduce stress, and enhance your resilience to life's challenges. Here are some lifestyle habits to consider: Regular Exercise: Physical activity is a powerful antidote to stress and anxiety, as it releases endorphins and promotes relaxation. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week, choosing activities you enjoy, such as walking, cycling, swimming, or yoga. Balanced Diet: Eating a nutritious and balanced diet can support your overall health and mood. Focus on incorporating whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats, while limiting processed foods, sugar, and caffeine. 5. Social Support:   Social support is a crucial factor in managing anxiety and promoting mental health and well-being. By connecting with others and seeking support from friends, family, or support groups, you can feel validated, understood, and less alone in your struggles. Here's how social support can help you manage anxiety: Emotional Validation: Sharing your thoughts and feelings with trusted individuals can provide emotional validation and reassurance, helping you feel understood and accepted. Practical Assistance: Friends and family members can offer practical assistance and support, such as helping with daily tasks, providing transportation, or offering childcare, which can reduce stress and overwhelm. 6. Time Management and Stress Reduction:   Effective time management and stress reduction techniques are essential for managing anxiety and maintaining a sense of balance and well-being in your life. By prioritizing tasks, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care, you can reduce overwhelm and improve your ability to cope with stress. Here are some strategies to help you manage your time and reduce stress: Prioritize Tasks: Identify your most important tasks and prioritize them based on urgency and importance. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps, and tackle them one at a time, focusing on completing each task before moving on to the next. Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries in your personal and professional life to protect your time and energy. Learn to say no to requests that are not aligned with your priorities or values, and communicate your boundaries assertively and respectfully. 7. Professional Support: Seeking professional support from a mental health professional, such as a therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist, can be an invaluable resource for managing anxiety and promoting mental health and well-being. Whether you're experiencing mild anxiety symptoms or struggling with a more severe anxiety disorder, professional support can provide you with personalized guidance, tools, and strategies to cope effectively. Here's how professional support can help: Assessment and Diagnosis: A mental health professional can conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your symptoms, concerns, and challenges, and provide an accurate diagnosis if necessary.

Finding Peace Within: Yoga Poses for Soothing Stress and Promoting Relaxation
Introduction:In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety have become common challenges affecting our mental and physical well-being. Continental Hospital Hyderabad recognizes the therapeutic benefits of yoga in alleviating stress, promoting relaxation, and enhancing overall health. In this guide, we will explore yoga poses specifically designed to soothe stress, calm the mind, and rejuvenate the body. With Continental Hospital Hyderabad's expert guidance, individuals can embrace yoga as a powerful tool for managing stress and cultivating inner peace. Understanding the Core of Yoga for Stress Relief:Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and mindfulness to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Its holistic approach addresses stress at both the physical and mental levels, promoting relaxation, reducing tension, and improving overall well-being. Yoga encourages self-awareness, mindfulness, and acceptance, allowing individuals to connect with their inner selves and find inner peace amidst life's challenges. Yoga's Core for Stress Relief:Yoga's essence lies in its holistic approach to wellness, focusing on the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. Through a combination of physical postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), and mental focus (dhyana), yoga creates a harmonious balance that can alleviate stress and promote relaxation. Physical Postures (Asanas): Yoga postures are designed to stretch, strengthen, and align the body, releasing physical tension and promoting relaxation. Asanas such as forward bends, twists and gentle backbends help to release tight muscles, improve flexibility, and stimulate the body's relaxation response. Breathing Techniques (Pranayama): Pranayama involves various breathing exercises that help regulate the breath, calm the mind, and reduce stress. Techniques like deep belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing), alternate nostril breathing (nadi shodhana), and calming breath (sitali pranayama) can soothe the nervous system, lower heart rate, and induce a sense of calmness. Mindfulness and Meditation (Dhyana): Yoga encourages mindfulness, which involves being fully present in the moment without judgment. Through meditation practices, individuals can cultivate mental clarity, emotional balance, and resilience to stress. Mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation (metta), and guided relaxation techniques can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. The holistic nature of yoga means that it not only addresses physical tension but also addresses the underlying mental and emotional aspects of stress. By cultivating self-awareness, mindfulness, and acceptance, individuals can develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve stress resilience, and experience greater inner peace. The Importance of Yoga for Stress Management:Yoga offers numerous benefits for stress relief and relaxation: Reduces Cortisol Levels: Yoga practices like deep breathing and gentle stretches help lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone responsible for triggering the body's fight-or-flight response.Promotes Relaxation Response: Yoga stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a relaxation response that counteracts the effects of stress and promotes calmness.Improves Emotional Balance: Regular yoga practice enhances emotional resilience, reduces anxiety, and fosters a positive outlook on life.Enhances Mind-Body Connection: Yoga encourages mindful movement, body awareness, and conscious breathing, fostering a deeper connection between the body, mind, and breath.Cultivates Stress Coping Skills: Yoga teaches coping mechanisms such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and stress-reducing techniques that individuals can apply in daily life.Yoga Poses for Soothing Stress and Promoting Relaxation: Child's Pose (Balasana): Kneel on the mat, sit back on your heels, and stretch your arms forward with your forehead resting on the ground. This pose gently stretches the spine, hips, and shoulders, promoting relaxation and calming the mind.Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): Start on all fours with a neutral spine. Inhale, arch your back, lift your head and tailbone (Cow Pose). Exhale, round your back, tuck your chin, and draw your belly in (Cat Pose). Repeat to release tension in the spine and improve flexibility.Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana): Stand with feet hip-width apart, hinge at the hips, and fold forward, letting your head and arms hang loose. This pose releases tension in the back, hamstrings, and neck, promoting relaxation and calming the mind.Legs Up the Wall (Viparita Karani): Lie on your back with legs extended up against a wall. This pose improves circulation, relieves leg fatigue, and induces a sense of relaxation and calmness.Corpse Pose (Savasana): Lie flat on your back with legs extended and arms by your sides, palms facing up. Close your eyes and focus on deep, slow breaths. This pose allows for complete relaxation, releasing tension throughout the body and calming the mind.Do's and Don'ts for Yoga Practice:Do start with gentle, beginner-friendly yoga poses and gradually progress as you become more comfortable.Do listen to your body and modify poses as needed to avoid strain or discomfort.Do practice deep, mindful breathing throughout your yoga session to enhance relaxation and stress relief.Don't force yourself into poses; honor your body's limits and practice self-compassion.Don't compare yourself to others; yoga is a personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

Listening to music helps improve cognitive skills
Listening to music helps improve cognitive skills
Enjoy the melody, without damaging your ears Music inspires us to do many new things in life and motivates us to overcome challenges! Music improves other senses of a human body, like gaining better vision and improved response to touch. Overall music even helps in improving the ability to paint a better and complete picture of the world at large. However, one important caution is to avoid listening to loud music to ensure it does not damage the ears. Music is present in every aspect of our life and we voluntarily or involuntarily are exposed to music daily. It is important that one is exposed to the right kind of music, which is soothing in nature in the longer term, instead of loud/brash sounds. Intermittent bouts of rap or rock-n-roll are fine, but this cannot be a mainstay in one’s life to stay healthy for a long period of time. 5-Tips: Listen to Music, Responsibly Use Music Players at 60% of the Maximum Volume Use Your Music Player For 60 Minutes A Day Only Commenting on the impact of music, Dr. Ashok Kumar Singh, Consultant ENT Surgeon, Continental Hospitals said, “According to some research reports on the impact of music on education, it has been found that those students who listening to good quality music daily turn out to be good in science and mathematics, especially ‘algebra’. Music is believed to play the role of ‘social glue’, and young minds exposed to music emerge into good Samaritans as they grow.” “A 2014 research report by the Department of Education in the United States indicated that over 93% of students exposed to good music graduated with merit, and music also removes barriers between students coming from various ethnic and social backgrounds. Music also helps adolescents release or control emotions and helps them cope with difficult situations such as peer pressure, substance abuse, pressures of study and family, the dynamics of friendships and social life, and the pain of loss or abuse.” It is widely believed that rhythm abilities, such as tapping to a beat, relate with reading skills, and available initial evidence of how both abilities may rely on common underlying neural mechanisms of sound processing reiterates the importance of music in a student’s life. Not just these, teenagers associate playing music with music literacy, listening skills, motor ability, eye-hand coordination, and heightened intellectual capabilities, etc. Read More
Take care of your kidney”s health
Take care of your kidney”s health
Hyderabad, March 11 (IANS) At a time when the world is worried about coronavirus pandemic, the World Kidney Day on March 12 may pass as another annual event. But the kidney-related ailments are silent killer. The day aims to raise awareness about kidney”s importance to overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health issues worldwide. Diabetes, hypertension and obesity are some of the high-risk factors that result in kidney ailments and at times are life-threatening in nature, according to Dr Dhananjaya K.L., consultant nephrologist at Continental Hospitals, here. Undergoing tests is the only and best way to know the health of kidneys. A person with symptoms, like fatigue, high blood pressure and swelling of feet, must be careful of his kidneys; and ideally undergo regular health check-up for blood sugar, creatinine and eGFR to assess its filtration rate. India is estimated to have over 50 million people with diabetes. They are at a high risk of chronic kidney ailments. The diseases become prevalent, mainly due to poor lifestyle choices of people. Hence, it”s important to realise importance of leading an active and energised life to prevent the possibility of diabetes that could lead to kidney-related complications. “In a human body, kidneys are among the most amazing organs, which ensure wellbeing of the person. These bean-shaped organs filter 1,200 ml of blood per minute (1,700 litres a day) to keep the person healthy. It also helps remove waste and maintain a balance of chemicals and minerals in the body. It”s the process that happens in a kidney that keeps bones and teeth strong,” said Dr Dhananjaya. “While dialysis is the most common available treatment to support failing kidneys, at an advanced stage, often considered as renal failure, the only option left is to undergo a transplant,” he said. Hyderabad, considered a major healthcare destination, offers world-class kidney transplant facilities from a variety of sources, like live and cadaveric transplant. Chief Transplant Urologist and a Padmasri Awardee Sarbeswar Sahariah, who recently completed 1,000 kidney transplant surgeries, believes transplantation is a safe and best approach for individuals suffering kidney failure to lead an active life.

How to stay stress-free during COVID-19 lockdown
How to stay stress-free during COVID-19 lockdown
People are suggested to main ‘social distance’ to ensure the menace of coronavirus does not find a breeding groundin the form of easy transmission between people. HYDERABAD: Unforeseen circumstances require unprecedented measures! And today India is under an unprecedented “lockdown” for 21-days to fight the global pandemic coronavirus. The lockdown would mean people would not be allowed to step out of their homes freely and will have restricted access to even everyday essential commodities. People are suggested to main ‘social distance’ to ensure the menace of coronavirus does not find a breeding groundin the form of easy transmission between people. However, for a large section of people in Indian society, thisis unacceptable! It has been noticed that people are not just worried about their economic prospects; but alsoexpressing anguish over getting restricted to their residences. Risk factors : Commenting on the risks, Dr. Jyotirmayi K, Consultant Psychiatrist, Continental Hospitals said,“Lockdown or other restrictions to daily routine will be stressful and there surely are going to be some psychological impacts on people. To avoid greater damage from happening time and again, we humans need to work harder enduring some levels of stress; and must realize that this phase too will pass soon.” To keep yourself active Remind yourself that this is a temporary phase Remember that you are a hero, and doing this for the community Stay connected with near & dear via phone, email, social media Sleep at regular routines to find each passing day relaxing Stay physically active to ensure mental agility Maintain balance by allocating specific work hours, and take regular breaks Focus on doing household chores and share burden with family members Avoid news and social media if you find it distressing “On an everyday basis, most people state they do not find time for themselves for their wellbeing. This 21-daylockdown has provided the perfect opportunity for people to spend time on themselves. Doing Yoga, speaking tofamily members, remembering past/childhood memories, speaking to old friends and reminiscing past memories couldbe a perfect way to keep oneself active and keep off from anxiety,” concluded Dr. Jyotirmayi. Another risk associated with this lockdown is the possibility of one retreating into a sedentary lifestyle, and thus adding many kilograms to the bodyweight. Commenting on this, Zeenath Fatima, Consultant Dietician, Continental Hospitals said, “During normal days manypeople tend to eat at restaurants or foods prepared not at home, doing no great favor to the human body. Put underrestrictions, now people are forced to opt for home-cooked food, which is the best and healthiest option any day.Eating green-leafy and other regular vegetables will not increase weight and during these stressful times, avoidingmeat or meat-based foods could be a better idea.” Life under a lockdown situation can negatively affect mental health, causing post-traumatic stress, confusion and even anger. But by keeping your active life going and maintaining peace in life is the best solution to ensure you wade through these difficult times with ease. Read More
What Covid? Birth date still matters
What Covid? Birth date still matters
In the times of Covid-19, what has not changed are the date and time when a newborn infant is born and doctors cannot argue about it as the pregnant woman is their major concern. These dictates are still being noted in maternity hospitals as the time and day of birthing is a priority for families and their astrological calendars. A C-Section delivery, very high in both Telugu-speaking states, is still a preference during these times too. Only corporate and big nursing homes are operational and all the load of affluent patients is on them. A senior doctor, on condition of anonymity, explained, “We have a virus around us but that does not stop people from arguing over the time and day of the delivery. These beliefs are strong and with a newborn baby, no risks in astrology are to be taken.” Doctors are keen that pregnant women are safe and for that reason normal delivery is carried out by junior doctors and senior doctors are around for supervision. Earlier, they would all crowd around the patient along with the nurses but now social distance is maintained. “It is like going back to old times where the woman has to push the baby down and from far, we would give instructions,” explained a senior doctor. C-sections are done by wearing personal protective equipment as due to Covid-19 these extra precautionary measures have to be taken during the birthing process. The biggest challenge stated doctors are the scans as they are not being carried out for all pregnant women. “We are going back to times when there were no ultrasound scans. This is because it would unnecessarily expose a pregnant woman to risk. Hence only if there is a clinical indication of anomaly in foetal movement then scans are being done. It is one in 2000 cases and, mostly, not required.” Scanning was a major part of all the three trimesters but doctors now do not want to risk their patients. The husband was a part of the birthing process but that also is not allowed as it is not safe. Similarly, those in the first and second trimesters of the pregnancy are not called to hospitals for routine checks but video conferencing is provided to clear their doubts. Tele-medicine and email are also used by patients to check on substitutes for medicines as there is a crisis of brands. Dr Sri Latha Gorthi, gynaecologist, explained, “So far we have dealt with patients who have been seeing us from first day. Hence we know their history. Yet we check with them if they have come in contact with anyone who has travelled from abroad. There has not been a single case so far but precautions of checking travel history are mandatory for us too.” Pregnant women are already immune-compromised and hence precautions in terms of social distancing, hygiene, avoiding contact with people from Covid-19-affected countries and also within the community is important, stated Dr Kavitha Naragoni, senior gynecologist and infertility specialist at Continental Hospitals.
