The Dhaka Times Desk Basically calcium takes care of bones. Therefore, calcium deficiency affects the bones. What problems arise in that case?
There are also several ways to stay healthy. One of which is eating healthy food.

As the age increases, calcium deficiency is also seen in the body. Many also take calcium supplements. However, there is no special benefit. However, calcium deficiency is not always obvious from the outside. Calcium mainly takes care of bones. Therefore, calcium deficiency affects the bones. What problems arise in this case?
# Calcium deficiency can cause muscle pain, cramps and spasms. In addition to pain in the thighs and arms while walking or moving, numbness around the hands, feet, and face may also occur. In case of such problems, it is wise to consult a doctor.
# Calcium deficiency can cause severe fatigue. May also feel sluggish all the time. Insomnia can also occur due to its effect. There may also be lightheadedness, dizziness and 'brain fog', which can lead to lack of concentration, forgetfulness and confusion.
# In general, when the level of calcium in the body decreases, the teeth suffer from various problems. This can lead to problems like tooth decay, brittle teeth, bleeding gums and weakened tooth roots.
# Normally, the body absorbs calcium from the bones when the overall level of calcium in the body is low. Because of that the bones become brittle. And then osteoporosis disease nests in the body. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
