OMG.. See what 12yr old boy is suffering from..!!

The 12-year-old Mahendra Ahiwar from Madhya Pradesh is suffering from a serious medical condition. The boy cannot keep his head upright or walk. Due to lack of neck muscles, his head keeps hanging at 180 degrees and he can only crawl.

This is a rare medical condition and Mahendra always needs help to eat, wear clothes, use the washroom and most of the routine tasks. His parents Mukesh and Sumitra feel helpless as there has been no diagnosis of their child even after visiting nearly 50 doctors.

They say it is painful to watch their son in such situation and think it is better if he dies.
Mahendra has three siblings and all of them are healthy. According to his parents, he was born healthy as well but by the time he turned 3, his condition deteriorated.

Mukesh Ahiwar told that he can only move his neck in three directions and it is growing longer than average.

Mukesh said he has consulted several doctors and all of them have different opinions about the ailment but none is sure about it. While some say it is polio, others believe it is paralysis.

He told that he also went to AIIMS in Delhi, spending one year of savings, but the doctors failed to diagnose their son.

WORLD HEALTH DAY: Six Food Safety Tips you need while travelling.!

Most of us like travelling for one reason or the other... But while travelling, food is one thing that we should be careful about..

Do we give enough importance as to what is being served in our plate and how safe and hygienic it is?

The theme for World Health Day, which falls on April 7, is SAFE FOOD this year. So, here are a few food safety tips for a traveller:

1) Always try and go for hot and freshly prepared foods rather than choosing frozen meat, cheese and stale foods(in general) as they carry a lot of bacteria.

2) Eat at a place or restaurant that is well-known for good food hygiene practices to ensure safer food choice.

3) Always try and go for bottled water products while travelling, but you should always check the seal to ensure it is intact as not all packaged drinking water is safe.

4) Avoid eating cut fruits as they may carry a lot of infection, instead buy fresh ones and PEEL them yourself and eat.

5) Always wash and sanitise your hands properly while eating out to avoid getting inflicted with infections that may cause food poisoning.

6) Lastly, eat at a place that there are people in it..(Lol--- it speaks confidence).

And don't forget, 'Your Food is your first medicine, and your medicine your first Food...#WorldHealthDay #SafeFood

Doctors tell POPE that he must lose weight..!!

According to Daily Mail, doctors of the Vatican told Pope Francis to cut his pasta intake to two servings a week and take a daily walk, like his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI did.

They are concerned about the sedentary lifestyle of the 78-year-old Catholic leader – who spends much of his time hard at work at his desk or in meetings – as well as his considerable weight gain since he took office two years ago, sources told Italian news agency ANSA.

The Pope's weight is thought to be aggravating his sciatica, a nerve condition which causes back pain.

Francis himself has suggested that he does not expect to live to an old age. 

Two weeks ago he told Mexican TV he did not think his papacy would last long.

And on a plane back from South Korea last summer he said that his reign would only last 'a short time, two or three years and then… to the house of the Father.'

Now doctors have told the Catholic leader that he must shed a few pounds as the extra weight is making his sciatica worse, especially when combined with his intense travel schedule. 

But the pope who reacted by joking refers to himself as 'the undisciplined one' is taking little heed of their warning, continuing to tuck into a bowl of pasta every day.
