MUMBAI: As many as 16 Mumbaikars, including seven children, tested positive for swine flu in the last 24 hours. Taking stock of the situation across the country, the Union health ministry advised states on Wednesday to vaccinate their healthcare workers, but did not recommend immunization for the general population.

Among the children who tested positive for the H1N1 virus on Wednesday, two, both 10 months old, from Nagpada and Andheri had to be admitted to different hospitals. The remaining five, including a three-month infant from Versova and four kids under 10 years from Goregaon, Mahalaxmi and Kandivli, were treated as outpatients. Around 17% of the H1N1-hit this year are very young children.

Leadwort is shrubby perennial herb with acid roots. It grows up to 2 meters high, with 10 to 20 stems growing directly from the root. The plant has smooth leaves and tiny, bright red flowers.

The herb contains an orange yellow pigment, plumbagin a sitosterol and a fatty alcohol. The proportion of the plumbagin varies within the limits according to the locality, growth, age condition of the soil and the reason. The older the plant and drier the soil, the greater is the quantity of active principle found in its root.

Vitamin A is clear yellow oil and one of the four fat-soluble vitamins, along with vitamins D, E and K. This means it dissolves in organic solvents, such as ether or cleaning fluid and, in the body, is absorbed and transported in a manner similar to that of fats, If you have problems absorbing fat in your intestines, you run a higher-than-normal risk of developing a vitamin A deficiency.

Q. If vitamin A is fat-soluble; does that mean it's found in foods that contain fat?
A. Yes. Vitamin A occurs naturally only in foods of animal origin, such as liver, which is the storage place for vitamin A in animals and humans; some seafood; butter; whole milk and egg yolks. This form of vitamin A is usually called pre-formed vitamin A, or retinol. Retinol is also added to skim and low-fat milk.

Henna is a middle-sized shrub with many branches. It has small white or pinkish fragrant flowers in large terminal bunches, and small round fruits. The trade name henna is based on the word hina which is the Arabic name of the drug.
The plant occurs in several parts of India, chiefly in the drier parts of the peninsula, and is usually cultivated in hedges. It is also cultivated for commercial purposes, in Punjab, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

The leaves contain a glucosidal coloring matter and hennotanic acid. On petroleum ether extraction, the seeds of the plant yield a viscous oil containing behenvc, arachidic, stearic, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids.

Fluorine is a non-metallic element which is toxic in its gaseous form. Fluorine is known to be beneficial to humans, specifically for its role in maintaining bones and tooth enamel, but it has not yet been proven to be essential for human health.

Q. I know that a compound of fluorine, called a fluoride, is often added to some brands of toothpaste, and even to some water supplies to help reduce cavities. Does it really work for that?
A. Yes. Tooth decay rates are much higher than average in areas in which the drinking water is naturally low in fluorine. When adequate amounts of fluoride are incorporated into tooth enamel, the rate of tooth decay is substantially reduced. Studies show that it works not only for children's teeth, but for adults, too.

As our climate changes, the risk of injury, illness, and death from the resulting heat waves, wildfires, intense storms, and floods rises.

Climate change poses a wide range of risks to population health - risks that will increase in future decades, often to critical levels, if global climate change continues on its current trajectory.

The majority of the adverse effects of climate change are experienced by poor and low-income communities around the world, who have much higher levels of vulnerability to environmental determinants of health, wealth and other factors, and much lower levels of capacity available for coping with environmental change.

Great natural herbs and infusions for better health

Tummy tea
If you are suffering digestive problems or diarrhea, try blackberry tea. As well as a fruit tea, you can buy black tea infused with blackberries. The tea is rich in iron as well as easing stomach aches and diarrhea and helping to control fevers.

Detox with lemon
Lemon juice is a great flavor enhancer and mixed with hot water is a really healthy (and detoxifying) alternative to heavily caffeinated hot drinks. Get twice as much juice out of your lemons by heating in the oven or hot water, or by rolling until slightly soft, before squeezing.
