We often find ourselves too shy to clarify things straight up with our doctors, especially with our gynaecologist, because the topic is very sensitive. We hesitate because we have been discouraged from having an open discussion about s*xual health, needs, and situations. However, it's essential to break the taboo and step forward so that awareness and prevention measures can come in handy. It can save lives in critical ways. No question is stupid. No health inquiry is irrelevant. So raise your voices with the right questions, and feel free to ask away!

Here are some preventive measures you can take to control malaria and stop it from spreading further.
1. Wear full sleeve protective clothing.
2. Spray mosquito repellents.

Blazing heat and energy-sapping humidity can spell doom on your health in summer. So make sure you are correctly armed with a nutritious diet to fight off summer meltdown!
Include water-rich fruits in your diet. One of our seasonal favourites is Watermelon. Being a rich source of Vitamin A, it is good for your eyes and immunity. In addition, citrulline plays an important role in the synthesis of nitric oxide, which helps lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. Potassium aids in crucial heart functions, improves muscle work, and strengthens bones.

Arguably, the period sync-up hypothesis divides social beliefs into two categories - some believe pheromones cause period sync-up. Pheromones are similar to hormones but work outside of the body. They induce activity in other individuals, such as s*xual arousal. Therefore, when a female having a period lives with another female, due to pheromone interaction, periods can sync up. Interestingly insects secrete pheromones to communicate. However, medical researchers have not established a significant communicative response between human pheromones, which is why this belief is shunned by many. The other group offers a straight logic that periods are a 27 days recurring event whereby the natural tendency of two women's menstrual cycles is bound to coincide.
