Students are young and their behavior can reflect the health status of the society they are going to live in the coming years. Lifestyle reflects social values, attitudes and activities of a person. Personal health is a function of lifestyle and behavior, which can be altered through medical device. The unhealthy lifestyle, common in modern societies, accounts for a high number of mortalities secondary to preventable diseases. The aim of the current study was to explore the students’ lifestyle in order to formulate policies and educational and behavioral programs to promote their overall wellbeing. Data were collected by mailed questionnaires in 2011 Jan–March from a Local sample of Bhilai City, State-Chhattisgarh having age group of , 18-21 years old. In this, only the 18 year old & above considered, however, there are no means to assess representativeness according to college performance. It has been found that in health-related surveys the response rate is lower in young boy than in young girl, and that reluctance to respond is associated with negative health behavior and poor college performance. If active responding were selective in that direction also here, the associations found would be weak as compared to the situation where everyone would have responded. We have found that addiction of pan was more in college A as compared to college B, C, and D and also B+ blood group of college A was more as compared to college B,C and D. Disease history of cancer in college C was more as compared to college A and B.Keywords

Drug addiction is a therapeutic condition, a chronic relapsing disease. As in other domains of experimental medicine, appropriate experimental investigations are needed in order to better understand the disease. People with an addiction do not have control over what they are doing, taking or using. Their addiction may reach a point at which it is harmful. Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol, but may include virtually anything, such abstract things as gambling to seemingly harmless products, such as chocolate - in other words, addiction may refer to a substance dependence (e.g. drug addiction) or behavioural addiction (e.g. gambling addiction).However, to understand the diverse facets of drug effects and of the underlying pathophysiology it is necessary to keep in mind the complexity of the psychopathological processes. The main symptoms that characterize addiction correspond to expressions of dysfunctions within specific circuits and regions. Pathways to addiction are numerous and comorbidity and in the real world poly-drug use are common.The study show that so many molecules and formulations are present in the market that used as drug addiction like codein phasphte syrup, alprazolam tablet, pentazocine injection, combination of gandapuro tel and turpine tel ointment, lorazepam tablet, pheniramine maleate, nitrazepam tablet.Keywords

Our skin is our body's largest organ and barrier from the outside world. When our skin is constantly exposed to pollutants and UV damaging rays over an extended period of time, it becomes more vulnerable to free radical damage. Excessive free radical exposure through a toxic diet and environmental pollutants harm the skin by damaging DNA and cell membranes that keep the skin plump and firm. As we all know, some of our illnesses are caused by having insufficient nutrients in our body. These illnesses are just the symptoms to show us that we may be lacking in some nutrients. If we replenish these nutrients in time, the symptoms usually disappearWith over 100 nutrients, Spirulina is often described as the most complete food source in the world. The American National Aeronautical and Space Agency includes it in their astronauts diet and plans to grow Spirulina in it's space station.Japan has some good examples of some Japanese seniors who have only relied on Spirulina and water for more than 20 years showing how good is Spirulina for the human body. Spirulina is effective in treating dark circles dry eye symptoms,detoxifies skin,dandruff,aging skin,rinkle and hair fall.- Herbal Significance and Home Remedies to Treat Conjunctivitis:An overview

Ayurveda is known as the oldest healing science. Ashwagandhadi Churna is important in management of digestive and respiratory disturbances of all body types. It is useful for any imbalance in the muscles as it both reduces inflammation and strengthens muscle tone. It is having different ingredient which are having a wide range of uses in health maintenance. The quality control of Ashwagandhadi Churna which will assist the regulatory authorities, scientific organizations and manufacturer in developing standards.
Ashwagandhadi Churna (AC1) is consist of the fine powders of Ashwagandha and Vidhara in the ratio of 1:1. It is best remedy in tissues Debility, low body weight, emaciation, deficient haemoglobin, anaemia, post-convalescent weakness, athletic exertion. Ashwagandhadi Churna sample was prepared in laboratory according to Ayurvedic formulary.
This was evaluated by comparative analysis with the marketed formulations (AC2 and AC3) for their extractive values (ethanol and distilled water), Micromeritic parameters (bulk density, true density, angle of repose and Carr's Index) and Phytochemical evaluation. We also found the extractive values of Ashwagandhadi Churna (AC1, AC2 and AC3) in water and ethanol respectively indicating the presence of almost polar and semi polar constituents in Ashwagandhadi Churna. These analytical findings and data analysis revels that parameters like extractive values, presence of phytoconstituents and micromeritic parameters all remains in close proximity for each batch of the Ashwagandhadi Churna.

A novel 5(4-(4-substituted)Aminobenzylidine)thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR and H-NMR spectral analysis. Antibacterial and antifungal activities of the compounds were assessed by in vitro growth inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Asperigillus niger, Candida albicans by using the disc diffusion method. Most of all compounds exhibited significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while weak antifungal activity against Asperigillus niger and Candida albicans.
