Health is wealth! We have known this for ages. But in the present “super fast age”, there is hardly any time to pay attention to health. Be it exercising or eating healthy – we tend to ignore both due to other engagements.

How about having some fun time outdoors with friends and family and at the same time burning a few calories! Any sort of outdoor sports will help you stay fit and at the same time will allow you spend some quality time with your loved ones.

You do not have to be an expert in any of these games. You could just play football or baseball or even do a small race on your cycle. All of these will help you sweat out a bit and are great to keep you in shape and take care of your heart.

Make sure you do not go for the ones that stress you out or are a bit too much for your physical endurance.

Lower back pain is one of the most common complain of people irrespective of age and sex. There is no specific cause, but arises due to muscle strain that lead to chronic pain making walking and even standing difficult.

Instead of allowing it to aggravate, make life simple by doing regular exercises rather than just bed rest. You may apply relief sprays and gels for minor pains. Avoid lifting heavy objects and lie with a pillow under your knees. You may try heating pads or ice pack. Consult a doctor before it is too late because individual treatment is required depending on your lifestyle and medical history. Such pain generally reduces within weeks or few months if it is nerve damage or a herniated disc and surgery is rarely required. Take painkillers only on doctor’s recommendation. Acupuncture or therapeutic massage also reduces such pains.

Most importantly don’t feel depressed but be positive.

The protein in the red blood cells is called Rh and the Rh factor implies the protein presence or absence in blood. Rh positive is present in most of people’s bodies which is a good sign but there are many times when Rh incompatibility occurs mainly during pregnancy, when there is a mismatch in the blood Rh factor of the mother and the child.

If the mother’s blood has Rh negative and the soon to be born baby is Rh positive then complications occur. The baby inherits Rh positive from the father if the father has the same. In this case there are chances that the mother’s immune system might try to produce antibodies to destroy toxic substances in the baby’s blood thus leading to complications.

However this can be prevented. Proper diagnosis of this Rh incompatibility is essential by getting regular prenatal care once the woman is pregnant. The doctor should take all blood and other related tests to check for any complications, it is easier to cure these at an early stage.
