Lot of priscriptions for health issues available in social media now. We call it home remedies , health bytes etc. but are they applicable for all the symptoms.?

Good information 👌
Excellent information & good to know thanks
Used AI audio for this ...
In an environment where there is no medical ethics ,money motive practice is happening ,AI should come as a parallel system in the third world.
That is an important point, medical ethics is very essential. Hope to see safety guidelines for AI applications in medical practice.
Useful information..

Excellent notes on music
Thank u dear Preeths for the research learning too
Appreciate this thorough info! Thank you
This is good information!
This information is incredibly valuable, especially for someone like me who works from home and often sits or stands for long hours. Staying in one position for extended periods can lead to fatigue and discomfort, making it essential to find ways to stay active and comfortable. Learning techniques to improve posture, incorporate movement, and use ergonomic setups can really help manage the physical challenges of remote work. I’m always looking for tips to enhance my workspace and support my well-being while working long hours at home.
Very informative
Very informative 👍
Relevent information 👍
Very informative! I agree these are all superfoods, but even nectar can become poison in excess. As you mentioned, a balanced diet is key to getting all the nutrients we need to stay healthy.
Useful information 👍👍
Hope we will become super humans after eating all the super foods! Informative video Preethy.
All your recommendations are valuable and scientific. Well done. 👍
Thanks Jilcy for always supporting my videos. Your comments are encouraging and you have lots of experience in treating people with various health conditions ❤
Avocado study : People who consciously eat avocado are likely to be very health conscious and follow a disciplined lifestyle including exercises, keeping off smoking, eating healthy food, weight control etc. which may make avocado look good. Just a thought. I may be wrong.
Thanks, I agree that is a challenge in researching food. Difficult to separate out the effect of avocado among so many other variables especially in an observational study.
Blueberries and cranberries contain vitamin K which interfere with vit K antagonist blood thinners such as phenprocoumon, warfarin, and acenocoumarol, decreasing their action, thereby increasing the dose requirement or predisposing to thrombosis when having berries with the medication.😮
Promogranate skin and tender leaves of the plant are used as green tea to treat gastroenteritis. It contains metronidazole, a compound used to treat amoebiasis and anaerobic infections.
Thanks, here the issue is we don't know how much is required for a therapeutic effect and to avoid side effects
