Do you love a drink from time to time? A lot of us do, frequently when socializing with acquaintances and loved ones. Drinking might be beneficial or harmful, depending upon your age and health status, and, naturally, how much you drink.
Booze dependency is something that can't be formed in simple terms. Booze dependency in general refers to the condition that's an obsession to continue drinking even if it harms health. Alcohol addiction means you don’t have any control over intake despite being well aware of the damaging consequences. An alcoholic person drinks even if he happens to get into booze related troubles like drunk driving, losing his job, and so forth.
Not everybody who takes in booze is an alcoholic. A person who takes in booze in controlled quantities and is able to say no when he doesn't want to drink isn't termed booze-dependent. He or she is merely a social drinker.
For anyone who drinks, this book offers valuable, research-based info. What do you think of taking a look at your drinking habits and how they might affect your health? This may help you get started.

Keep your diet balanced
A balanced diet doesn’t mean not eating foods in a day; rather, it is minimizing your food to consume in a day. A food that has a variety of vitamins and minerals which your body needs including healthy fats. So, you must begin to fully understand nutrition and make sure that you eat the proper portions of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. If you are having a hard time calculating the suggested supplements into your daily diet routine, you could try taking vitamin tablets in order to ensure that your body is ingesting the nutrients it needs.
Exercise Daily
Making your body exercised everyday does not necessarily mean to keep you in shape; it is also for you to increase your morale. Your simple and short workout can have a massive impact on your morale and can make you feel happier about yourself, give you more confidence, and just make you feel positive in life. This doesn’t mean to spend hours in a day for exercise, just taking around 20 minutes to half an hour doing light exercise and not working up too much of sweat is enough for your healthy living lifestyle.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
2. Introduction
• So, you have successfully quit smoking and are
optimistic the ride will be smooth?
Congratulations! But the ride won’t be smooth if
you refuse to establish healthy habits to
permanently stay smoke-free. Developing healthy
habits such as, daily exercise and consumption of
a balanced diet, is key to permanent tobacco
cessation. Smoking cessation is tough for most
people but adopting healthy habits will help ex-
smokers stay smoke-free.
3. Physical Health and Longetivity
• Dr. Lester Breslow, a public health leader, lends
credence to this fact. Popularly known as “Mr.
Public Health”, Breslow was one of the first to
publish the relationship between healthy
behaviors and physical health and prolonged
existence.
• His 1972 research gave scientific proof to the idea
that people who cease smoking and take up
healthy habits of diet and sleep can live longer. It
proved with numbers that behavior indisputably
influenced longevity.
4. Physical Health and Longetivity(2)
• A former dean of the Fielding School of Public
Health, the University of California, Los Angeles,
Dr. Breslow’s most acclaimed feat was a study
involving 6,928 people in Alameda County,
California, that observed their behavior for a
space of up to 20 years. It used quantitative
investigation to confirm that a 45-year-old with at
least six of the seven healthy habits Dr. Breslow
picked as imperative would live 11 years longer
than someone with three or fewer.
5. Breslow’s 7 Healthy Habits
• Abstain from smoking totally.
• Drink with a lot of restraint. There is no significant
difference between those who don’t drink at all and
those who drink with self control.
• Everyday, sleep for exactly 7 to 8 hours, no more, no
less.
• Exercise or workout regularly.
• Make regular eating a habit but don’t eat between
meals.
• Watch your weight, a moderate weight is the best.
• Eat breakfast on a daily basis.
6. After Smoking Cessation, What Next?
• A quit smoking decision springs from the desire
to live a healthy life but once the step has been
taken, smokers often find themselves struggling
to take their minds off cigarettes.
• Their question usually is, “what should I do to get
cigarettes and smoking out of my mind?” The
answer usually lies in focusing on brand new and
healthy habits. With this, smokers are assured of
a successful quit.
7. Developing Healthy Habits to Assist
Quit Smoking
• Tip No 1: Make Exercise a Top Priority
• Physical workouts will prevent a lot of smokers
who drop off cigarettes from gaining weight. It’s
also a good and healthy substitute for smoking.
Interestingly, smoking and exercise are stark
opposites. They both can’t co-habit. In fact,
medical personnel say if you smoke and exercise,
you’re likely to become sick of smoking. This is
because exercise gives you exactly what smoking
does and healthily too.
8. Tip No 1: Make Exercise a Top
Priority(2)
• Even though walking briskly or running for half an
hour daily can help your overall fitness, you can
consider taking a fitness class. Meeting other
non-smokers in such a class will reinforce your
new healthy habits and give you a greater chance
of quit smoking for good.
• Drinking water is also beneficial to preventing
weight gain, curbing smoking
cravings and flushing cigarette toxins out of the
body.
9. Exercise Is Beneficial
• Exercise is thoroughly advantageous to
smoking cessation but you can only
experience the benefits when you take up an
exercise regimen today. Do so without fail. It’s
even advised you start your physical
workouts (and commit to it daily) before
kicking the smoking habit.
10. Tip No 2: Learn a New Hobby
• Learning a new hobby can be an excellent way
to get your mind of cigarettes. Hobbies like
knitting, painting, playing the piano or other
crafts will keep smokers’ hands busy and
anything that keeps the hands occupied will
definitely keep the mind busy. What’s more,
these handicrafts give smokers a sense of
accomplishment of creating a finished project.
11. Tip No 2: Learn a New Hobby(2)
• Learning a new language, visiting or spending
time with loved ones, and volunteering for a
laudable cause are all healthy habits that can
help take the place of cigarettes in a smokers’
life. Smokers may also try keeping a diary to
help them identify what triggers them to
desire a cigarette. This will help them avoid
such triggers and ultimately prevent a relapse.
12. Tip No 3: Consider Healthy Snacking
• If you quit smoking and constantly have the urge
to substitute cigarettes with food, consider
healthy snacks, to prevent weight gain. Luckily,
there are many healthy snack options available,
including but not limited to:
• chewing sugar-free gum and candy
• licking sugar-free mints
• consuming a limited amount of nuts such as
almonds, pistachios, walnuts or peanuts which
are all healthy snacks
13. Tip No 3: Consider Healthy Snacking
• fresh vegetables and fruits like carrot sticks,
pieces of celery and apples are low-priced and
provide a satisfying crunch
• sipping herbal teas is also helpful
• chewing on cinnamon sticks
• Consuming broccoli florets, pepper,
mushrooms or tomatoes plain or with a low-
fat addition such as vinegar dressing or skim
cheese.
14. Tip No 3: Consider Healthy
Snacking(2)
• Taking up healthy eating habits like eating on
time (never skip meals), drinking a lot of water,
not skipping breakfast, varying the type of foods
you eat can naturally supercharge your
metabolism when dropping off cigarettes. Reduce
your consumption of caffeinated drinks and other
beverages that contain sugar. Caffeine can
contribute to nervousness and anxiety in smokers
who recently quit. Make sure the tea you drink is
also decaffeinated.
15. Tip No 4: Pamper and Reward
Yourself
• Rewarding yourself for taking a quit smoking
decision is an integral part of staying smoke-
free after dropping off cigarettes. Convert the
money you would have used to buy cigarettes
to pamper and distract yourself. Taking time at
home to relax and indulge yourself can
thoroughly weaken your nicotine cravings or
urges.
16. Tip No 4: Pamper and Reward
Yourself(2)
• Whether you choose going to the movies, home
spa treatments, your favourite restaurant treat, a
relaxing bubble bath, or a manicure/pedicure
with the money you’ve saved on cigarettes,
pampering yourself will strengthen your resolve
to quit smoking.
• Teeth brushing can also keep off cigarette
cravings, so, focus on your oral health now that
you have successfully quit.
17. Conclusion
• One thing you should know is; adopting these
healthy habits will take time. You can start small
at first, or go the whole hog. The changes you
make will depend on how ready you feel, but it is
important to know that any change will start you
on your way to being smoke-free, healthier and
happier.
• Allen Carr talks more about adopting healthy
habits for smoking cessation in his book
titled: Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Check it out
today. You’ll be glad you did!
