Due to its interface with the environment, skin plays a key role in protecting the body against infectious diseases and germs. Currently, I am focusin...

All rice varieties contain starch and hence have a higher glycemic index as compared to other grains.

Cessation of menstrual cycles and end of reproductive phase of life are not the only highlights of menopause. It also has equally strong before and after math which influence women’s health for their lifetime. Philosophers  of Ayurveda have considered women’s physiology to be unique and much more complex than men due to the cyclical changes in their  Dosha  which take place every month from menarche (beginning of menses) to menopause. Due to the complexity of their physiology, maintaining balance of body tissues and  Dosha s is a indeed a tight rope walk for women.
