Are vitamin E supplements beneficial for eye, skin, and hair health? A specialist offers insights

The benefits of vitamin E capsules for skin, hair, and eyes are well-known. However, what is their effectiveness? A dermatologist discusses this well-liked vitamin.The use of vitamin E to enhance the health of the skin and hair came about as a result of the ongoing hunt for the next big thing in the world of strong, healthy hair. For a long time, vitamin E supplements have been heralded as a potent treatment for a wide range of aesthetic and medical conditions, from boosting skin brightness to encouraging hair growth and strengthening eye health. With so many promises made about their advantages, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. Let's explore the science of vitamin E, its possible benefits, and any risks you should know about before adding these pills to your daily regimen for health and beauty.What is the vitamin E content? Alpha-tocopherol, another name for vitamin E, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is well-known for its potent antioxidant properties. These properties are crucial in averting free radical damage and safeguarding the body's cells. In addition to its anti-oxidant qualities, Vitamin E is crucial for preserving the health of the skin, particularly by preserving the natural lipids under the skin's surface, which, when used consistently, reduces the appearance of fine lines and delays the signs of ageing "said Dr. Madhu Chopra, MBBS, DORL, a Mumbai-based cosmetologist and managing director of Studio Aesthetique. Vitamin E's advantages for healthy skin "When you consume Vitamin E, its antioxidant qualities diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, battle oxidative stress, which is a major cause of premature ageing, and promote a more radiant and youthful skin," Dr. Madhu continued in her interview with HT Lifestyle. Moreover, vitamin E actively contributes to the creation of collagen, strengthening the protein that gives skin its structure, elasticity, and firmness and enhancing its anti-aging properties."

Why Is There A Red Line Applied to Certain Medicines?

Why Is There A Red Line Applied to Certain Medicines?

Have you ever noticed the red stripe on some prescription labels? It's not only ornamental! This seemingly insignificant detail conveys important information about the medication inside. The issue? A lot of people overlook this important hint, which may result in taking medication without a prescription. Furthermore, self-medication can be dangerous—sometimes even fatal, as we all know.   In an advisory released on Sunday, the Ministry of Health addressed this problem by stressing the significance of focusing on a particular detail found on the back label. This detail has the potential to affect the safety and efficacy of your medication. According to the ministry, pharmacies are only permitted to dispense these medications in conjunction with a legitimate medical prescription.Antibiotic resistance is avoidable! The Ministry of Health stated on X that a RED LINE on the medication strip suggests that the medication should not be taken without a prescription. Therefore, it is equally important to note whether the medicine's packet has a red stripe on it as it is to check the medicine's expiration date. In the meantime, the health ministry announced on Friday that India has won the coveted Measles and Rubella Champion Award in honor of the nation's valiant efforts to fight these infectious diseases.

Unbelievably High Increase in STDs Throughout Europe

Unbelievably High Increase in STDs Throughout Europe

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise throughout Europe, according to the EU's health agency, which stated on Thursday that these cases are "troubling" and may only represent "the tip of the iceberg". The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) reports that in 2022, the number of syphilis cases increased by 34% to over 35,391, while the number of gonorrhoea cases increased by 48% to 70,881 in the EU and EEA region.Chlamydia cases increased by 16 percent to 216,508 in the 27 nations the organization covers.Both startling and concerning is this increase, according to ECDC director Andrea Ammon at a press conference. Ammon explained that this was because different countries had different testing policies and access to sexual health care. "These numbers, as big as they are, most likely only represent the tip of the iceberg because surveillance data may underestimate the true burden," he said. In a statement, the organization cautioned that even though syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia are curable, untreated cases can still result in major health issues.These increases raise serious health concerns and show how urgently preventative measures and thorough health education need to be strengthened, according to Ammon. In order to meet the surge, Ammon emphasized that "testing, treatment, and prevention" were essential. The STI rates that are on the rise in Europe necessitate our quick attention and coordinated response. We can reverse the trend by giving testing, treatment, and prevention initiatives top priority, according to Ammon.

"Why is everyone trying to....?" A viral post sparks intense controversy as an NRI in Canada claims that India's lifestyle is superior.

For many years, thousands of Indians were drawn to nations like Canada by the promise of a better life overseas, complete with better education, greater wages, and a more pleasant way of life. However, a subtle reversal is in progress. Due to changing ground realities and personal priorities, an increasing number of non-resident Indians (NRIs) are reconsidering the international dream and moving back home. In one such tale, a professional from Canada explained why, only a year after relocating, he is prepared to return to India. The user claimed he no longer sees "big benefits staying in Canada" after moving here with his wife and child last year while on a closed work permit. "I entered Canada last year with a closed work permit, accompanied by my spouse and child. While we were both employed in India, we managed to save 30 LPA, or $50,000 CAD. I think India offers a better lifestyle than here, after a year in Canada," he wrote. Please understand that even if we both work, we will still be able to save $100,000 CAD. I can't think of a compelling reason why my friends and coworkers chose to settle here. He outlined his reasons after weighing the advantages and disadvantages:Canada's advantages Free medical treatment (but he thinks Indian insurance can cover this as well) The only obvious benefit is free schooling. bigger automobiles and residences (which he believes are superfluous) Respect from family members (something he doesn't appreciate) Potential wealth following seven to eight years of a typical 9–5 workdayAdvantages in India The weather is pleasant.

On being a homebody, food, and lifestyle, Gautami Kapoor says, "Our daughter Sia inspired Ram's weight loss."

"Anyone in his position would become irate, outraged, or furious. Regarding videos and memes about Ram Kapoor's approach to weight loss, Gautami remarked, "But he is the type of person who loves to laugh at himself."Actor and husband Ram Kapoor's spectacular reaction to Gautami Kapoor's recreation of his weight reduction video had everyone in stitches. "I shot it in a matter of seconds; I didn't give it any attention. I didn't anticipate Ram to respond because he wasn't in the country. However, I suspected something was coming since he's a prankster, and everyone enjoyed it," she said.Gautami praised Ram's capacity for self-satire, saying, "Many made memes and videos about his transformation." Ram enjoys making fun of himself, even though anyone else in his position might have been offended. That is an uncommon quality. In an exclusive interview with indianexpress.com, she expressed gratitude for Ram's weight loss efforts, saying, "People only see the end result; they don't see the tough side of it." For doing it, I am proud of him. He has experienced a great deal on a mental, emotional, and physical level. Sia, our daughter, also shed a lot of pounds. She actually began her fitness journey before Ram, and I believe she encouraged him to begin his own somewhere," Gautami remarked.

This is what occurs to the body when exposed to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in the environment.

There are two types of electromagnetic fields: low-frequency EMFs, which come from electrical wiring, and high-frequency EMFs, which come from things like cell phones and Wi-Fi routers.Concerns about electromagnetic fields (EMF) of various frequencies have been brought up time and time again by the World Health Organization (WHO), which has stated that "all populations are now exposed to varying degrees of EMF, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances." It went on to say that everyone is exposed to a "complex mix of weak electric and magnetic fields, both at home and at work, from telecommunications and broadcasting to the generation and transmission of electricity, domestic appliances, and industrial equipment."In light of these worries, we were curious to learn more when we saw an Instagram post advising against using computers while they were charging. Another unnatural, man-made pollution that is interfering with human biology is electromagnetic fields (EMFs). It is without a doubt the most significant alteration to our environment in the past century.

Together, mat work and reformer work provide a comprehensive approach to movement, strength, and well-being, and both are equally important parts of a full Pilates practice.We are well into the new year, and just like everyone else, celebs are getting back on track and working out hard. Namrata Purohit, a fitness specialist, recently posted a photo of her client Mira Kapoor working out hard on a Pilates reformer. The bulky equipment that fitness aficionados frequently display in their gym selfies may frighten those who are new to Pilates, leading them to believe that workout mats are a safer option.Both mat practice and equipment-based exercises were equally important in the original classical Pilates approach, according to Kavita Prakash, founder of Pilates for Wellbeing.The method's creator, Joseph Pilates, recognized the importance of both strategies for a well-rounded and successful practice. "Equipment-based exercises, like those done on the Reformer, use springs to provide support and resistance, while mat work pushes practitioners to use their own body weight for resistance." Originally known as Contrology, this movement technique was developed by Joseph Pilates as a means of rehabilitation for wounded POWs. Restoring strength, stability, and mobility in addition to healing was the aim, she stated.
