Addressing your mental health is important One of the primary reasons why people struggle through with mental health is because of the lack of potent awareness surrounding it. With so many impactful changes that we are experiencing time and time, it is necessary that one takes care of them mental health just as much as their physical health. The lack of the same is what primarily ends up making it harder for us to manage things around.

The stigma around mental health is one of the primary reasons people fail to address the problems that they are struggling through

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

on a daily basis. It is actually very important to ensure that one focuses on the subdued behavior and address that your mental health needs

tending to.

If you don’t acknowledge that you need help, there is absolutely nothing that 6

can set things straight for you. If not for more, just focus on getting better for yourself. Many people do have the misconception that they need to get better for others. This is where you need to draw the line.

Your mental health is your own priority. Getting better should always be for yourself and for no one else.

can be done to reverse the long term impacts. It is thus very important that the first step that you need to take is to address that you need help all along. The moment you do so, the rest of the problems will more likely fall into place.

When you know that you need help, it does become a lot easier for you to handle the shortcomings and seek the professional help that 7

The moment you realize that, breaking through the stigma does become a lot easier. The lack of awareness around mental health and seeking help is one of the primary reasons why people do fail to understand what they are feeling is wrong and how they can change that for the good. You need professional help, get it.

Don’t enclose your mind thinking that seeing a therapist is signs of “being crazy”. That is not the case, for the most part. If you need help, you need to get it before it starts affecting the people around you.

Focusing on your own mental health shouldn’t

come off as a secondary priority because that can in turn affect your own physical health as well, without you knowing and understanding.

This is the primary reason why majority of the people struggling with mental health issues tend to face difficulty in opening up about their struggles. If you are constantly facing issues with your own thoughts and demons, there is nothing wrong in talking it out with someone you trust, if not for a therapist. This can actually solve more than half of the problems.

Acknowledgement is the very first step to getting better.

Once you start your process of recovery, focus on spreading awareness surrounding the need for awareness so it’s a lot easier for you to handle the circumstances and be a pillar of hope for someone else in the same position as you.

COVER STORY

Time Pressure People Tell Us What We Want To Hear -

When people are asked things and questions under pressure, they are more likely going to answer something that’s predominantly socially acceptable and desirable than what they think is the actual truth or the honest answer for that.

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

22

In a conducted study by the researchers from the Association of Psychological Science, they found that when the people are asked something on impulse and out of the blue with projected pressure, they

23

are more likely going to end up answering something to please the other person rather than being honest.

The findings of the study raise salient questions against the prospects of the

time honoured experimental techniques as mentioned by John Protzko, a University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) cognitive scientist who is also the co-lead author of the study.

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

COVER STORY Protzko said that the method of nothing thinking and answering on the spot is one of the long staple when it comes to the psychological sciences. But, among them all, the one thing that it is definitely doing is making people lie about things and say desirable things to please the person opposite them.

What the results mean is the fact that the researchers do have to revisit the interpretation of a number of already existing findings under the “answer quickly� technique.

According to the researchers, they believe that we have a divided mind which comprises of three distinct parts, the intuitive one, the animalistic one and the rational one. The rational part of the mind is more subjected to the constraining lower order mind as well.

When we ask someone a question on the spot and on a random, they are more

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

likely going to end up gaining access to the lower order mind.

A group of researchers including Protzko, Zedelius and their UCSB colleague Jonathan Schooler wanted to test this out and they did so with the 10 simple yes or no questions. The respondents in the study were asked to take less than 11 seconds for each of the questions.

Following the completion of the test, the researchers found that the fast answering group was more likely to give some of the standard socially desirable answers in comparison to the slow answer givers.

The next step through with this study was to find whether or not the respondents are more likely to give socially desirable results because them find them to be genuine virtuous or is it because of the time pressure.

The researchers did have

another set group answer some of the questions under varying time restrictions instead of strict and standard one. Following that, the participants were also subjected to answering some of the social judgement task which have been specifically designed to assess the morally good and the bad behaviour of the individuals and their true self. The ones that scored a lesser value on the good true self bias scale was less likely to give socially desirable answers when subjected to time pressure.

On the contrary, the ones who scored high on the good true self bias scale were more likely to give socially desirable answers instead. In simple words, time pressure doesn’t bring out the actual answers and replies around from the people. It is thus important that people take time to first give time to sort things out and then find better ways to assess the replies included.

DIABETES

New non-invasive procedures for

Type-2 Diabetes

Diabetes is one of those hereditary diseases that does end up affecting one’s overall well being. With the increased successions of the risks of the diseases, researchers are working on better and improved treatment options for better recovery.

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

26

A new study conducted by the researchers from the King’s College, London has found a newly tested out medical device, Sleeveballoon which has beneficial impacts like that in the bariatric surgery, helping in managing one’s body weight, fatty liver and even the condition of management of diabetes.

The Sleeveballoon is a new non-invasive procedure which includes a balloon that’s combined to a sleeve that covers through the initial parts of the small intestine. The device is inserted into the stomach as well as the bowel with the help of a minimally invasive procedure performed under general anesthesia.

For this specific study, the researchers compared the impacts of the sleeveballoon along with the traditional bariatric surgery on 30 rodents who were kept on a high fat diet.

The same was also compared to that of the sham operated rats, it was found that the new device did end up reducing the food intake in the rodents by 60% which further resulted in reducing the overall fat mass by 57%.

The striking part was the fact

27

that this ended up affecting the blood glucose levels too, making the same drop by 65%.

Professor Geltrude Mingrone from King’s College London, who is the lead author of the study said that the gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective forms of treatment for obesity as well as the type-2 diabetes.

But, the problem is that only around 1% of those patients undergo the much needed surgery and often do opt for the less invasive procedures to be done on them.

The researchers also did find that the metabolic effects of the Sleeveballoon device are a lot similar to those of the gastric bypass surgery

but have been found to have a lot of more benefits in comparison to the traditional procedure.

In both the conditions, the insulin sensitivity as well as the heart functions improved. The one downside with the gastric surgery is the fact that the same ends up causing rapid rise in the blood glucose levels which can later lead to hypoglycemia.

The sleeveballoon on the other hand helps in slowing down the process of digestion, thus maintaining a steady impact on the blood glucose levels in the body.

This further helps manage the appetite and hunger and even ensuring that the person is satiated for a longer time period.

The only catch with this is that the device needs to be removed within six to twelve months of its installation.

The teams of researchers are finding better ways to test this device out to witness how well it implements on with the other available options. It also helps reduce weight which is yet another one of the best ways to manage Type-2 diabetes.

Guilt.

Stop Sulking!

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

38

None of us live in complete perfection and lead a life without committing sins. Isn’t it? So why feel terrible?

Conserve your energy and be easy with yourself!

It is a simple mantra to understand, the more we make mistakes the more we are learning. That said, it doesn’t mean that we get encouraged to repeat those mistakes time and again and end up in the same pitfall.

Have you been there feeling extremely guilty about your actions? Most of us go through that feeling at least once in a lifetime and it is terrible unless you learn how to cope up.

What Does Guilt Do? Do you realize that the guilt you carry in your

39

heart has a positive and negative impact on you. Reason being, it teaches you as well as disturbs your mind at the same time.

The good about guilt is that you see a reflection of your mistakes and get to acknowledge them. The bad about feeling guilty is that you end up beating yourself more than you deserve. Now you understand how it works.

Why does one feel guilty?

For the most part, we feel guilty when we end up performing actions that end up hurting our conscience, the people who

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

LIVE LIVEHAPPY HAPPY mean the world to us and the ones who are innocent.

That said, a lot of times we end up feeling guilty for not standing up to our own word or decisions that we make for ourselves.

For instance, you would have planned to wake up early and use your time productively but it turns out that you don’t wake up and your idea just remains that way.

Likewise, little guilty feelings can consume our minds too much and we need to figure out and work around it rather than feeling terrible.

Take a look at some tips to relieve you from the burden of guilt

Tip 1 - Don’t Prolong Feeling Bad

Tip 2 - Ask For Forgiveness

When you make a mistake and acknowledge within yourself, just go ahead and ask for forgiveness. It will make you feel better.

That said, don’t let your ego take over in this situation, confess your mistake and stay calm to be ready for the consequence.

You must explain as to why you performed the action but don’t get hurt if you are not forgiven immediately because the pain on the receiving end must not be easy either.

Tip 3 - Deal With Your Emotions One At A Time There is no exception or buttering to the mistakes you commit but you need to put an end to stop feeling bad.

Yes, you might have said hurtful things to your parents or broke a rule in your life.

But how long would you hold on to that painful emotion and stay stuck? At some point, you will need to breakthrough. Isn’t it?

When you are guilty there would be a turmoil in your heart and negative emotions oozing out. That being said, its already a tough phase so don’t rush into dealing with things. One by one sort out your issues.

Therefore, don’t stop yourself from feeling bad but don’t prolong how you feel.

Love can heal pain, even if you find it an insane idea at the moment you must just do it to get back to normal.

Tip 6 - Have An Outlet To The Struggle It is common for most of us to think bad about ourselves when we do something wrong.

However, it would not be right to judge and bad mouth your own-self. You know deep down you are not as bad as you think.

You should know yourself the best, making a couple of mistakes doesn’t give you a right to think ill of yourself. Beat yourself up only for the fault not for everything you do.

Tip 5 - Show Some Love To Yourself

While you might not be in a mood to be compassionate and loving with yourself, you got to do it to feel better.

Go for a movie, sit at the beach or lake, go for a vacation or maybe push yourself out and have a cup of coffee. You deserve this kind of self-love after going through too much.

41

When you are going through too much on your plate it is best to just let it out. You either write it down in a diary or talk to your friend about everything you feel.

It is necessary to do this so that you don’t feel suppressed and suffocated with bottled up painful emotions.

While you are penning down or sharing it with a friend, be sure to say it all out. Don’t hide anything that you feel.

Tip 7 - Cultivate Positive Thoughts

You need to start thinking positive even if you have had your bit of roller coaster.

Feeling negative about yourself and holding on to the guilt will do no good to you. Snap away from bad thoughts.

Tip 8 - Be Kind To Forgive Yourself

Think about what’s holding you from forgiving yourself? You cannot take forever to forgive yourself, isn’t it? So don’t do that mistake.

53

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

LOVE & SEX

Now ask yourself if you are your partner’s good friend?

NO 3 LET THE RESPECT LAST It so happens that most of us in a relationship forget the respect aspect. Now respect just doesn’t mean speaking sweet words and not using foul language. It means much more and has a deeper meaning.

Try and introspect if the two of you have long-lasting respect for each other from the impressing day and until now.

Example of respecting each other is not bad-mouthing, agreeing to disagreements, respecting each other’s priorities, watching out for one another and many more gestures.

Build enough respect that even if love fades away, the two of you have respect for each other.

NO 4 CONFESSION IS A

MUST We are all human beings and we are prone to make mistakes. At times we intentionally don’t mean to wrong our partner but we intentionally end up hurting them, have you been there

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

ever? Think about it!

There is always a risk in a confession, you either lose your partner forever or you will be forgiven but taunted forever.

That being said, it is always for the best of the two of you to confess every small and big mistake so that you know for yourself that you are not doing wrong to your partner or yourself.

NO 5 THE SOONER YOU

ACCEPT THE BETTER How long will you fight with your partner about his/ her flaws or for that matter on things that you dislike about your partner? Think about how much peace and happiness it is stealing from the two of you.

If you love your partner and want to go a long way just stop expecting them to be the one you want them to be and make peace with the fact that they will not change as it is a part of them. Smile about it and let it go peacefully.

Acceptance is the most sensible gesture and shows your level of maturity in the relationship. Although it is easier said than done, you

need to accept your partner just the way he or she is.

NO 6 DON’T GIVE UP

DURING TESTING TIMES

This is where most of us fail in the relationship, we either fall in love with ourselves too much or forget the love we have for our partner that in the toughest of times we tend to give up instead of fighting it together.

You know the true colors of a person only when you see how they behave with you in their worst time, isn’t it?

If you can sail through with your partner at this point in life you are being the world’s best partner.

That said, you could be the one going through the bad patch in your life and how good would it make you feel to have your partner supporting you.

Don’t give up when it is hard, hang in there with your partner and fight till the end.

All one needs is a shoulder to lean on and a hand to hold.

NO 7 BE UPFRONT IN A

GOOD WAY Transparency builds the relationship and over time

54

more because we end up craving for what we want no matter how much we try and disagree that we don’t expect.

That said, it is necessary to understand and listen to what your partner expects from you and even you must let your partner know about what you feel. This discussion is necessary so that the two of you know where to set the bar. you will realize it. For now, you might not quite like the person being upfront, it works for the relationship in the long run.

If you want to see your relationship genuinely healthy you need to discuss problems and let your partner know about everything you feel.

Sharing details is your choice.

However, you got to be vocal about things that have to be told to your partner and this way your partner will trust you even better.

NO 8 DISCUSS YOUR

EXPECTATIONS Every human has a desire to expect from people they love, expectations can never be quantified as less or 55

Another good thing about discussions is that you get to talk about your disappointments and you know where to draw the line between your expectations and what your partner feels.

NO 9 BE A PART OF YOUR PARTNER’S WORLD You might ponder about what is it to be a part of your partner’s world when you already are. Right?

That being said, being a part of your partner’s world is dong things like hearing him/her out, participating or accompanying your partner in activities that he/she loves the most and genuinely being a part of the important decisions your partner makes.

While this might seem to be a minor aspect it portrays that you have care and respect for everything that is important to your partner.

This is truly a bonus point and your partner would be extremely happy about spending moments of his life with you.

NO 10 ALWAYS EXPRESS

SLOVE The whole point about being in love is to show it to each other. Will you agree to that? It is never too early or late to show him or her what you feel. Having said, it is healthy and necessary to express how you feel for your partner.

There are different ways of expressing love. Mental, physical and emotional.

Express all shades of love to your partner, it would make him/her feel loved and cared for and that’s exactly what the two of you need from each other.

All in all, among all aspects in a relationship it is necessary for the two of you to be honest and understanding with each other. If you both can manage with this it simply says that you are in a healthy relationship.

It was specifically quite evident in the men above the age of 50.

The participants in the study who consumed mushroom on a daily basis were found to have a 8% lowered risk of developing prostate cancer. It was in comparison to the ones who ate mushroom once a week. In addition to that, the participants who consumed the mushrooms 3-4 times in a week experienced 17% prevention in comparison to the ones who consumed once a week.

and the prostate cancer haven’t been analysed before. This is the very first study which highlights the preventive properties that mushrooms have on the condition of prostate cancer.

For the study, the researchers focused on two groups of men. There were a total of 36,499 men in the study in between the age of 40-79 years of age. The group of men were analysed between the time frame of 1990 to 1994 and the follow up for the study was later done from June 1, 1990 to December 31, 2014.

All of the men involved in this study were asked to fill out a questionnaire related to the kind of lifestyle choices that they make, including the mushroom and other food consumption, smoking, the degree of 57

Mushrooms are actually an amazing source of vitamins, minerals as well as the much needed antioxidants.

These end up causing chronic inflammation and other health issues which further enhance the risks of prostate cancer in men.

Having a partner

may reduce pain, new study unveils When it comes to home and family, many people tend to rely on the family that god has blessed them with, thinking that they don’t need a partner to get them along in life. A new study seems to counteract with that statement because they believe that single people tend to suffer more in comparison to the ones who aren’t.

A new study conducted by the researchers from the De Gruyter suggest that there are certain analgesic properties which comes with a partner and companionship even when it doesn’t include any kind of verbal or the physical support.

The study has been titled as “Dispositional empathy is associated with experimental pain reduction during provision of social support by romantic partners” and has been conducted by a group of researchers including Stefan Duschek, Angela Bair, Casandra I. Montoro, Lena Nassauer, and Pedro Montoya.

To conduct the study, the authors assessed the pressure pain on 48 of the heterosexual couples. Each of the participant were first tested alone and then in the presence of their partner. The prospect of the dispositional empathy was then coined with the help of a questionnaire.

In the presence of the partner, the participants were found to withstand a better pain threshold as well as tolerance along with lower sensory and affective pain ratings when given a constant pain stimuli.

The researchers noticed that the partner empathy did play a crucial role when it came around to the pain tolerance and was inversely associated with the sensory pain experience.

The study has been conducted under the instructions under the University of Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology (UMIT, Hall, Austria) and the University of the Balearic Islands (Palma de Mallorca, Spain).

Professor Stefan Duschek of UMIT said that the talking and the touching have been found to reduce the pain but this specific study coins the fact that even the passive presence of one’s partner does have positive impacts on buffering through the pain, distress and the overall problems in general which is definitely an amazing breakthrough in findings.

DISEASE

New test diagnoses Lyme Disease within 15 minutes

For those who aren’t aware, Lyme disease is a tick borne disease which is caused because of the infestation of the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.

The condition can negatively affect one’s overall well being, making them constantly feel tired and fatigued and make them experience flu like symptoms through and through.

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | OCTOBER 2019

Addressing the kind of increase in the rate of Lyme disease across the world, need for better diagnosis and treatment is a necessity more than anything else. Leading to this, a group of biomedical researchers have assessed a rapid microfluidic test which can effectively help diagnose the condition of Lyme disease in an individual in a matter of 15 minutes which is ground breaking.

The current mode of diagnosis is done via the standard 2-tiered testing, otherwise known as the STT which runs through two distinct assays to detect the levels of antibodies for the bacterial infection happening in the body.

Sam Sia, professor of biomedical engineering at Columbia Engineering, along with her team worked to develop a mode of testing that is faster and a lot more arranged in comparison to the STT.

Sia suggested saying that their lab is focusing on bringing out to the world that the diagnosis for the Lyme disease can be made via the microfluidic approach for better quantitative results. What this means is that the test can be directly used around in the doctor’s office without imposing much hassles. This can get rid of the problems of sending in the samples to the lab for testing which often takes hours, if not days.

For better analysis of the procedure, the researchers did analyse a total of 142 samples including that of the people suffering from the early stages of the Lyme disease. To initiate, the researchers focused on screening some of the biomarkers associated with the Lyme disease that can be able to detect the infection caused. The top three biomarkers for this condition was then assessed with three of the biomarkers including enzyme immunoassay, mChip LD as well as the microfluidic procedure.

When these tests were compared to the standard form of assessment, the researchers found that the biomarkers were actually a lot more sensitive in comparison to the other Lyme disease tests. It is important and very effective if one gets their understanding for the diagnosis at an early stage rather than the later stages.

The main impacts with this specific study were the fact that one can get through with the better and faster diagnosis of the Lyme disease without much of an obstruction through the process. It will also get a better judgement of the state of the condition which is further an added bonus because early diagnosis means better treatment options for faster recovery as well 73
