If you are wondering whether retinol is safe during pregnancy, the answer is no. Vitamin A plays a vital role in fetal development, which means high levels of retinol may interfere with this miraculous development. For the same reason, it is not advised to use retinol while breastfeeding.

What is the biological phenomenon responsible for the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength, and function as we age? This is known as Sarcopenia!
Sarcopenia refers to the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength due to aging. The impact of this condition can be severe, depending on the individual.
How to prevent Sarcopenia?
Stay Active: If you can stand, don’t sit—if you can sit, don’t lie down! Movement is key to preventing muscle loss.
Encourage Movement in the Elderly: When an elderly person is sick or hospitalized, avoid encouraging them to rest or remain in bed. Help them walk, unless they are too weak to do so. Lying in bed for just a week can cause a 5% loss in muscle mass, and seniors often cannot fully recover this loss.
Sarcopenia is more concerning than osteoporosis: With osteoporosis, the primary risk is falling, but sarcopenia not only affects quality of life but also contributes to high blood sugar due to reduced muscle mass.
Idle muscles lead to faster muscle loss: Muscles in the legs deteriorate quickly when not used. Sitting or lying down limits leg movement, weakening muscles. Activities like walking, running, and cycling are excellent ways to build and maintain muscle mass.
Aging Starts from the Feet Up! Keep your legs active and strong as you age. If you don’t move your legs for just two weeks, you’ll lose the strength of a decade! Regular exercises like walking and cycling are vital for maintaining muscle strength.
The feet support the entire body’s weight, making them critical for mobility. So, walk every day to maintain strength and mobility.

“If you hold a gun and I hold a gun, we can talk about the law. If you hold a knife and I hold a knife, we can talk about rules. If you come empty-handed, and I come empty-handed, we can talk about reason. But if you hold a gun and I only have a knife, then the truth lies in your hand. If you have a gun and I have nothing, then what you hold in your hands isn’t just a weapon, it’s my life."

"The concepts of law, rules, and morality only hold meaning if they are based on equality. The harsh truth of this world is that when money speaks, truth goes silent, and when power speaks, even money takes three steps backwards. Those who create the rules are often the first to break them for rules are chains for the weak and tools for the strong."

"In this world, anything good must be fought for… The masters of the game are fiercely competing for resources, while the weak sit idly waiting to be given a share.” ~ Author unknown

The development of the eye begins as an ectodermal diverticulum from the lateral aspect of the forebrain. Here are the key steps:

1. The diverticulum grows laterally, forming the optic vesicle and optic stalk.
2. Surface ectoderm thickens to create the lens placode, which invaginates to become the lens vesicle.
3. The optic vesicle invaginates to form the double-layered optic cup.
4. The inferior edge of the optic cup is deficient, creating the optic or choroidal fissure.
5. Vascular mesenchyme grows into the fissure, carrying the hyaloid artery.
6. The fissure narrows and eventually closes, forming the optic canal.
7. Failure to close completely can lead to coloboma formation, affecting structures like the pupil, ciliary body, and optic nerve.
