A New Paradigm: From “Sick Care” to Preventative Healthcare

Image
  The unfortunate reality is that most people don’t start properly taking care of their health until something goes wrong with it. This is reinforced by the traditional Western medical model, which only treats patients after they have health issues. The current healthcare model is undoubtedly lifesaving, however, it puts little emphasis on prevention. In this article, we will explore the problems with the current paradigm of “sick care” in the United States and the importance of shifting from a reactive to proactive health care approach. The Current Model of “ Sick Care ” The U.S. is facing widening epidemics of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. Chronic diseases, which are the leading cause of disability and death in the U.S., are responsible for a whopping 70% of deaths each year and account for nearly 75% of health care expenditures. [*][*]   Unfortunately, many modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases are not being adequately addr...

The Science of Aging: Why Do We Age?

Image
  While many people search for the proverbial fountain of youth, you may be wondering why, do we age in the first place? For centuries, scientists, philosophers, and even laypeople have been debating the reasons behind aging. Is it simply wear and tear? Is it programmed into our cells? Are we just victims of bad luck? Well, not quite. Animals age, plants age, and even rocks age. So, we know that it’s not just a human condition. But why? Why do we grow old? Why do our bodies age? Why do we have to age? They are all “age” old questions, aren’t they? Bad puns aside, there are a few theories as to why we age. And, while scientists are still trying to figure out the answer to all of the above questions and more, the last few years have seen some pretty significant breakthroughs in the field of aging research. So, let’s take a look at some of the most popular theories on why we age and explore the science behind each one. We’ll also dive into some of the latest research on aging and long...

As Mumbai battle Royals in IPL 2022, the Royals hope to maintain their winning momentum

  On a three-match series of wins,   Rajasthan Royals   have the energy as well as wellspring of motivation when they face base set and out-of-retribution Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League match here on Saturday. The Royals will praise the remarkable existence of their solitary IPL title-winning commander Shane Warne, who passed on last month in Thailand, during this game. A success would give an ideal recognition for the incredible Australian spinner under whose helpful authority, the Royals had brought home the 2008 championship. While Rajasthan, set second in the standings, have lost just two games and dominated six, Mumbai are now out of dispute for a play-off billet, having lost all their eight matches up until this point. In the wake of marshaling only 144 runs in their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the Royals would expect an improvement from their players. IPL 2022 NEWS Their openers Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal have been among the run...

Titans look to continue 'Golden Touch', RCB expect Kohli to return to form

  Batting stalwart Virat Kohli's wretched form would once again come under scrutiny when Royal Challengers Bangalore face table-toppers Gujarat Titans in an Indian Indian Premier League match here on Saturday. In their previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, the Titans were struggling in a stiff chase of 196 but Rashid Khan, known more for his leg-spin exploits, and proven finisher Rahul Tewatia struck four sixes in the last over to steal the match from their opponents. For the Titans, Pandya has been the top scorer with 305 runs from seven matches and under his "relaxed" approach the team seems to be flourishing. It can be an interesting match-up in the bowling front as both sides have some of the best performers this season. If they do that, and the maestro Kohli clicks with the bat, it can be anybody's game on Saturday.

RCB hopes Kohli can return to form, Titans seek continuation of 'Golden Touch'

Image
  Batting sturdy Virat Kohli's pitiable structure would indeed go under investigation when Royal Challengers Bangalore face table-clinchers Gujarat Titans in an Indian Premier League match here on Saturday. Kohli has scored a simple 128 runs in nine counterparts for RCB this season with 48 being his most elevated score. His advancement to opening space in  RCB's  past match subsequent to scoring consecutive ducks also didn't yield results as he was out for 9. Kohli's structure has been one reason for the conflicting demonstration of RCB who are at present at fifth spot with five successes from nine matches. The Bengaluru-based group, however, is trusting that the previous India chief would get back to shape soon with commander Faf du Plessis backing him after their last match. Then again, the Titans have been the side to watch this IPL. Anything that they have contacted have gone to gold with far-fetched match victors arising each time they were in a difficult situation...
