The incidence of kidney stones is increasing day by day due to various reasons like lack of restraint in normal life, professional stress, drinking less water, not urinating for a long time. A statistic says that the problem of kidney stones among people has been on the rise for the past 5 years. Doctors, however, say that there is a considerable lack of awareness among the general public. So it is too late to start treatment. In the end there is no other way to remove the stone except surgery. But with early warning, a few lifestyle changes can prevent kidney stones.
Drink enough water
The main function of the kidneys is to filter waste from the body and remove harmful toxins. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the kidney to do its work without drinking water according to the body's needs. Due to which the accumulation of those wastes increases the chances of turning into stones.
The habit of eating salt on rice leaves
If you have a habit of eating too much salt, especially raw salt, change it today. Kidneys cannot excrete sodium from salt. So if the level of sodium-rich food increases, stones accumulate in the kidney.
Being overweight
Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of kidney stones. The formation of stones becomes easier due to changes in the composition of urine and hormones. So if you want to avoid this risk, you must control your weight.
Taking painkillers
Many people have a habit of taking painkillers frequently. One of the side effects of this drug is to cause kidney problems. So if you are in the habit of taking these painkillers frequently, change it.
Frequent coffee consumption habit
Caffeine is the main ingredient of coffee. If the level of caffeine in the body is more than necessary, it is very dangerous for the kidneys. Caffeine increases the risk of kidney stones, so be careful with timing. 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
