If you have a weak immune system due to diabetes, that doesn’t mean you are doomed to a life of chronic illness. There are ways you can strengthen your immune system. One way is to exercise at home. Exercise is a drug-free money-free option, & isn’t just for those who have a poor immune system. It treats a variety of health problems and may bolster your health. Physical activity improves immunity.

The primary way physical activity strengthens the immune system is by getting individuals to engage in regular exercise, which promotes cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular health contributes to a healthy immune system. For example, Physical activity may help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. This may reduce your chance of getting a cold, flu, or other illness. The brief rise in body temperature during and right after exercise may prevent bacteria from growing. Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones. Some stress increases the chance of illness. Hence, we could say that lower stress hormones may protect against illness.

To optimize immunity, it is recommended that we have a healthy diet and proper sleep in addition to consistent physical activity. India is a nation with highly potent medicinal plants. The Western Ghat belt of India is blessed with rich soil and fertility. The dense forests with active wildlife has helped preserve and maintain it’s true value of richness.

Bed sores can affect people who spend a long time in one position, for example, because of paralysis, illness, old age, or frailty. Also known as pressure ulcers and pressure sores, bed sores can happen when there is friction or unrelieved pressure on one part of the body. People who cannot make even small movements are at risk of pressure sores. The sores can affect any part of the body, but the bony areas around the elbows, knees, heels, coccyx, and ankles are more susceptible. Bedsores are treatable, but, if treatment comes too late, they can lead to fatal complications. The prevalence of pressure sores in INDIA alone is estimated to range from 20.8% - 24% as per WHO.

I walked into our GoHeal Wound & Burn Care Center this morning, as I do everyday & immediately met with all our wound patients who had arrived to show themselves to our wound specialists at the center.

While I met with all and looked at every wound along with our doctors, a pattern hit my mind.

Wounds appeared similar. The odour from the wound was also quite similar, along with the edema oozing. We observed this pattern since the beginning of July 2019 and realised that history was repeating itself from what we saw last July 2018.

We then figured out that all wounds that the diabetics were coming in with, were due to the rising humidity levels in the air as well as rain water. So, folks please remember that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN FINDING A CURE. Ensure your feet are always well protected from wetness & from rain water. It is impossible to be a 100% safe for this, so I recommend each of us to dry our feet as soon as we can. Dry them well (after a thorough wash with clean water and a soap - any bathing soap should help if you don’t have an ongoing bacterial infection)

Husbands, please inspect your wives feet at the end of the day. Wives, do so with your husbands feet. Sons and daughters, Please ensure you don’t go to bed without inspecting your dad/ mom/ grandpa/ grandma’s feet at the end of each day. At the least observed cut, or skin color changes, take action to prevent aggravation.

This way, I am positive that we will see lesser wounded patients coming in to get treated with us, because you have taken better care of yourselves and your loved ones.
