The Dhaka Times Desk A smartwatch is essentially a smaller version of a smartphone. On the other hand, the function of fitness bands is almost the same. But which is better for whom?
How many steps did you walk throughout the day, what is your heart rate and blood oxygen levels? These are a few things. Whether it's a smart watch or a fitness band - both functions are almost the same. But nowadays many people wear smartwatches and fitness bands at the same time. So what is the meaning of having two kinds of instruments in both hands?
Many of us may not know that a smaller version of a smartphone is actually a smartwatch. Many times there is no way to take the phone out of the pocket in the crowded bus. Then this device is the only hope. Talking on the phone, viewing messages, Facebook or Instagram notifications are all possible through the smartwatch. Many people think that fitness bands are only for the health conscious. Everything from high blood pressure, heart rate to blood oxygen level can be measured by this device. How many steps you walk or how much exercise you do throughout the day can be understood by looking at the level of calorie burning.
Technology is improving day by day, many people don't want to spend money on separate devices. So the technicians try to combine several features of these two devices. Several companies cater to that need as well. However, it can be a bit troublesome to use. Connecting a fitness band with a phone is not a very easy task.
In what ways are fitness bands and smartwatches different?
Smartwatches also include a variety of fitness trackers. Including GPS. The facility of caloric measurement is provided individually according to the needs of each body. Also, music playlists, Bluetooth for wireless headsets, mic for hands-free talking are all there. This device is able to work independently even if you don't connect the smartwatch with the phone. The price of the smartwatch is a bit higher. Starting from 3 thousand rupees, the price of a smartwatch can be 50 thousand rupees or even lakhs.
But the fitness band is not that smart. Nevertheless, fitness bands are also in demand among the health conscious. The reason is that the display of the fitness bands is a little smaller than that of the smartwatch. There is no danger of running out of battery as quickly as a smartwatch. These types of bands will also wear off while sleeping. Best of all, fitness bands are also cheaper than smartwatches. There are various brands of fitness bands available in the market. Available at various prices starting from 2000 taka to 20000 taka.

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
