Saturday 19th September 2009 New Delhi HCFI: In the forthcoming MTNL Perfect Health Mela being organized by Heart Care Foundation of India, jointly with Health Department, Government of Delhi, Lions District 321 A1, NDMC and World Fellowship of Religions, an All Dharm Seminar on Lifestyle will be organized on 12th October 9-12 noon.

Giving the details Dr. K.K. Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India and Dr. Acharya Sadhvi Sadhna Ji, Chairperson, World Fellowship of Religions said that in view of rising obesity epidemic in the society, it has become important for all Dharm Gurus to unite under one umbrella and spread the message of good lifestyle.

The culture of white rice, white maida, white salt and white sugar needs the attention of all  Dharm Gurus as traditional Dharma has been talking about brown sugar, brown rice.

This will be for the first time that all Dharm Gurus will be coming under one banner to talk about lifestyle. The seminar will be moderated by Dr. Acharya Sadhvi Sadhna.  

Swine flu will be the focus in them mela said Dr Aggarwal. MCD, NDMC, DHS and MAMC will have special OPD’s and exhibition on the      subject.

The tendency of swine flu is to strike young and relatively healthy people rather than the elderly and chronically ill, as is the typical infection pattern with seasonal flu.

With respect to the theory that older people have built immunity to the disease because of their exposure to a similar strain 50 years ago, Dr. Aggarwal said the pattern may be a reflection of the stronger immune response in younger people. If bodies overreact and release too many infection-fighting proteins called cytokines, the resulting 'cytokine storm' can cause severe inflammation that overwhelms the lungs and respiratory tract.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are examining the possibility that H1N1 and H5N1 influenza viruses could form a new, highly transmissible and highly deadly strain. H1N1 was recently observed in turkeys in Chile, demonstrating that the strain can move to birds. So far, H5N1 has not been shown to transmit readily from person to person.
