Everyone must have seen that add on TV about salt in your toothpaste? Though it a bit dramatically shown but that’s true. It is important to check out the salt content in the toothpaste which is good for your health!

Anything which includes health in it should be completely free from health hazards right? But that is not true. There are toothpastes which are not healthy for you but you still use it.

There are few chemicals in your toothpaste which you need to avoid at the earliest. Fluoride, sodium laureth sulphate and triclosan are those chemicals which should not be there in your tooth paste because they are toxic and also has traces which are linked to deadly cancer.

Everything in this world these days causes cancer. So where is the problem? In the ingredients or the kind of lifestyle which we are living? Why is the use of these toxic chemicals permitted?

Fluoride- This not only causes cancer but is a big risk too thyroid as well.

Triclosan- This chemical is there in almost all the products which acts as a disinfectant but there are researches which has been carried out and it is proved that this chemical interferes in the thyroid functioning as well.

BLOOD DONORS: ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

We all know that blood is required for transfusions and after accidents and surgeries and there is a major shoratge of blood in our country. There has been great emphasis on why blood donation is the need of the hour, but are we really working towards our goal? Most of us agree that blood donation is indeed a very noble, altruistic act and can save lives but when its our chance, do we really change our habits and contribute to it positively? Its time for us to roll up our sleeves (literally) and get that one unit of blood drawn.

A few years back, while organizing a blood donation camp, I came across a very shocking and disgraceful incident. The camp was a success but almost towards the end, an old lady rushed to us and begged for HH blood group (commonly known as Bombay blood group) for her son. It is one of the rarest blood groups in India and wasn't available in any of the nearby blood banks at that moment. She used all her contacts but all her efforts went futile and she was left with no other option other than reaching out to a blood donation camp. While we searched for a blood donor on the internet, the incident threw light on the importance of a platform which connects the needy directly to the donors.

Many healthcare servers have come up which provide the required platform for an effective blood donor search. MEDICOSA, an online networked healthcare system displays a list of all the blood donors arranged according to their blood groups. It also provides the much needed interface for the patients to connect and contact the donors directly.  By - Jessica
