The body is the outcome of food. Even so, the disease is the outcome of food. The distinction between ease and disease arises on account of wholesome nutrition or the lack of it respectively. Food is the factor that sustains and supports the Deha Dhatus, Ojas, Bala and Varna. Ayurved is mainly based on preventive aspects first than cura- tive. Food is considered as the first pillar among the Nidra(Sleep) and Brahmacharya being the other two. Food is important as a nutritional source, also with therapeutic value. It also plays a very important role during the post- treatment period in regaining the diminished strength due to the harmful effect of the disease. Ayurveda gives immense importance to Pathya Ahar in the words" without the use of Pathyakar Ahar medicines is of no use and if Pathyakar Ahar is taken there is no need of other medicines." This food depends upon Agni to contribute to the nourishment of the body. The body elements or Sharira Dhatus cannot be nourished and developed when food is not properly digested by Agni. Ayurveda considers Dehagni as a cause of life, complexion, strength, health, lus- tre, Oja, Teja, nourishment and Prana. As per Acharya Charak, Agni is divided into 13 types i.e. one Jatharagni, five Bhutagni and seven Dhatvagni. Jatharagni (Digestive power) is directly related to Dhatvagni or bioenergy in the cells and their metabolic processes, with ultimate tissue metabolism or Dhatu Nirmana Processes. All thenormal functions of Dhatu, Upadhatu and Mala in the body all are directly dependent on the health status of Agni. Thus, Pathyakar Ahar and Agni play an important role in the maintenance of healthy life. Keywords: Ahar, Agni, Jatharagnii, Hair, Kesha

Ayurveda the science of health always aimed to maintain health status of society. The good conduction of daily regimen not only maintains healthy lifestyle but also help to avoid medication for the treatment of diseases. To make the body healthy and strong, there are three sub pillars mentioned in Ayurveda. Ahara (food) is the basic need for an individual and an important tool in Ayurveda. Ahara acts as Aushadha (medicine). Shimbhi Dhanya Varga (Pulses) in daily diet plays an important role in maintaining muscle and bone strength. Health promotion can be done by pearl knowledge of Ayurveda, the science for the achievement of long, happy and healthy life. One among them is the varieties of pulses such as Mudga (green gram), Masha (Black gram), Adhaki (Red gram) and Makushtha (lentil), Rajashimbi (Soyabean), Satina (peas), etc. These three things help in balancing your Dosha. Diet means your food, and it is one of the most important things for our survival. The 12 groups men- tioned by Charaka Samhita. Shimbhi Varga (pulses) is one of them. They are also called Vaidala (dicotyledons). Bhavamishra has also explained 23 vargas one of which is Dhanya varga. Dhanya varga is divided into five sub types which are as follows: 1. Shali Dhanya, 2. Vrihi Dhanya, 3. Shuka Dhanya, 4. Shimbi Dhanya, 5. Shudra Dhanya. Shimbhidhanya Varga (pulses) is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The pulses are main source of protein except non vegetarians. Also, for the promotion of health seasonal regimen is given prime importance in our Ayurvedic texts. Ahara when used in an appropriate way can be used as a medicine in various diseases. The main objective of this article is to understand the use of Shimbhidhanya Varga in different Ritus andvarious diseases. An attempt has been made to explain eases based on Ayurvedic and modern pharmacology. Keywords: Shimbhidhanya, Ritus, Diseases

The study aimed to evaluate silymarin material (SM) in reducing the damage in the body caused by residual aflatoxin as well as to improve the health status and quality of the produced eggs in laying hens which were fed on a contaminated diet with aflatoxin. The experiment was conducted on 120 layer chickens (ISA Brown” strain) aged 240-day were randomly divided into three equal groups (40 hens). The first group was fed a basal diet free of aflatoxin. The 2nd group fed on contaminated diet with aflatoxin (14.6 ppb) while the 3rd group fed on the same diet (in 2nd group) with 0.5% of silymarin/kg feed. Ten hens from each group were slaughtered at the end of the experiment for the histopathological examination to evaluate the harmful effect of aflatoxin in tissues (liver, spleen and intestine) as well as, estimated the production and quality of the produced eggs during experiment study. Abnormal visible symptoms observed on 2nd group include decreased in feed intake and body weight, as well as, in some there was abnormal pigmentation (comb and wattles). The most frequent effects on eggs were poor egg quality as decreased egg production, reduced egg size, thin or rough egg shell. The most common pathological lesions associated with aflatoxin residue in chickens were found in liver, spleen and intestine organs. In advanced cases, these organs become enlarged, swollen and changed colour into yellowish. While in the 3rd group, the macroscopic examination of the same organs was less pronounced and almost invisible. We conclude that silymarin has a significant effect and is highly effective in repairing the damage caused by aflatoxin to the body tissues of laying hens. The production in terms of the quantity and quality of eggs was not affected as well as, improving the health status.

SUMMARYIn determining the milk yield of the sow by weighing the litter before and after suckling, loss of weight due to metabolic processes must be considered.An experiment is described to investigate the loss of weight of piglets caused by metabolic processes between two consecutive weighings, and to investigate the relationship between this loss on the one hand and the body weight and the age of the piglets on the other. Weight changes of 15 litters of average 9·8 piglets were studied during 66 weighing periods of 16 minutes, by putting the pigs in a cage, fixed on a differential balance. Each weighing period consisted of 8 periods of 2 minutes, so that in all, loss of weight was studied during 528 2-minute periods.

Abstract The snake shed skin has long been used in folk as ethnomedicine for the treatment of various therapeutic purposes. The present study investigates the effects of the shed skin aqueous extract (SSAE) of the nonpoisonous snake Ptyas mucosus on the development of the ovotestis of the hermaphrodite slug, Onchidium tigrinum. The ovotestis consists of numerous ovoid-shaped acini, include both spermatogenesis and oogenesis. It is observed that the nonpoisonous SSAE has some significant detrimental effects on the gametogenesis of the slug only on direct contact into the body fluid of the individuals, otherwise, the SSAE has no significant harmful effect on the ovotestis constituents. The most noticeable pathological effects in spermatogenesis are - the arrangement of developing sperm bundles and their typical twisting pattern have deteriorated, the head of the sperm become a small bead-like structure, the pyramidal development of the spermatogenic cells is lower in number in the acini. On the other hand, the oocyte lost its basal integrity with the acinar boundary. The oolemma of the oocytes becomes irregularly shrank. Some small ooplasmic blebbing have commonly been found near the oolemma. The cell membrane of most of the cells in the acini has been damaged and several bare nuclei have frequently been observed in the acinar space. The somatic cells such as Sertoli cells, follicle cells, etc. in the acini appeared as the cellular remnants. It advocates that the SSAE has more detrimental effects on the oogenic cells than that of the spermatogenic cells in the mollusc.

The Relationship

What is the relationship between longevity and health? Health expectancies were developed more than 30 years ago specifically to answer this question. It may therefore be the time to try to answer this question, though it is worth noting that the question implies a unidirectional relationship. Almost no one questions the positive association between health and longevity. It is expected that healthy, robust people will live, on average, longer than frail people. This heterogeneity in terms of robustness/frailty may explain the shape of the mortality trajectory with age, ie. the oldest old seem to follow a lower mortality schedule (Vaupel et al, 1979). On the other hand, many people wonder about the relationship between longevity and health. Are we living longer because we are in better health? Are we living longer in good health? Or are we merely surviving longer whatever our health status? In other words, can we live in good health as long as we can survive? And this is exactly the purpose of health expectancies: monitoring how long people live in various health statuses (Sanders, 1964; Sullivan, 1971; Robine et al, 2003a).

The experiment was carried out in 2007-2012 in a sour cherry orchard with three cultivars – ‘Oblachinska’, ‘Schattenmorelle’ and ‘Heiman Ruby’- established in the region of the town of Hisar. In 2007 the control of cherryleafspot(Blumeriellajaapii) was conducted at improper time and inaccurate rates. That induced leaf defoliation in August. In the next vegetation periods (2008-2012) the control of cherry leaf spot was carried out by applying fungicides at definite rates at the most critical time for the host-pathogen system. During the next years (2009-2012) the trees of ‘Oblachinska’ cultivar yielded normally – 1300 kg/dekar, while the trees of the other two cultivars started improving their health status and the yield gradually increased, reaching up to 1600 kg/dekar(da) for ‘Heiman Ruby’ and 1100 kg/da for ‘Schattenmorelle’.

ABSTRACT Twenty-two fertile women were treated cyclically in from 4–30 cycles (mean 15.5) with a total of 341 injections of Deladroxate®, an injectable, long-acting oestrogen-progestogen. The injections were administered on the 8th (7th–9th) day of each cycle. Before treatment, the last pre-treatment cycle was controlled by means of daily recordings of the basal body temperature (BBT), urinary excretion of pregnanediol and total pituitary gonadotrophins at certain intervals, and by endometrial biopsies obtained late in the cycle. The effects of Deladroxate® on ovulation, on pituitary gonadotrophic function, and on the endometrium were controlled by the above mentioned parameters during cycles 1, 3, and 6, and all assessments were repeated after discontinuation of treatment. During treatment, there was a statistically significant fall in gonadotrophin excretion values (as compared with the pre-treatment values), and the fall was found to be gradually progressive during treatment. After discontinuation of treatment, there seemed to be a tendency towards an increase in the excretion values. Suppression of ovulation as determined by means of the pregnanediol excretion during treatment, was effective in nearly all of the treatment cycles checked. The fall in pregnanediol excretion was also gradually progressive during treatment, while there was a slight increase in excretion values in the post-treatment period. During treatment, 79 BBT curves were recorded. Nearly 50 % were monophasic, indicating anovulatory cycles, 17 curves were biphasic, but with the rise in temperature occurring at non-characteristic times in the cycles, 18 curves were classified as thermogenic because of a rise in temperature occurring within 24 hours after the injection, and 5 curves were not assessable. During the first month after discontinuation of treatment, 8 out of 10 recorded curves were monophasic. Out of 53 endometrial biopsies obtained around the 23rd day of the cycle, 31 were of the mixed phase type, but showing a predominance of proliferative patterns, 15 were of the secretory type, and 7 were purely proliferative. Out of 15 biopsies obtained in the post-treatment period, only two were of the mixed phase type, 12 were proliferative and one was purely secretory.

The aims of this paper is to explain the use of high heels as an agency for a woman's body. Agency context refers to pain in the body but pain is perceived as something positive. In this paper, the method used is a literature review by reviewing writings related to the use of high heels. The findings in this paper that women experience body image disturbance or anxiety because they feel themselves are not beautiful or not attractive. The use of high heels, makes women more attractive and more confident, on the other hand the use of high heels actually makes women feel pain and discomfort. However, for the achievement of beauty standards, women voluntarily allow their bodies to experience pain. However, the agency's willingness to beauty standards here is meaningless without filtering and directly accepted. Instead women keep negotiating with themselves so as to make a decision why use high heels.
