Medicine vs Supplements

Medicine vs Supplements

What Is a "Dietary Supplement"?

A dietary supplement is any product that contains a "dietary ingredient" intended to add to the diet. These ingredients may be any of the following substances:
a vitamin,
a mineral,
an herb or other botanical,
an amino acid, or
a substance such as an enzyme
The fact:
A lot of people don’t realize that herbal medicines, vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements are all medicines. 

Medicines: Drugs which treat any medical condition.

Supplements: Adds your nutritional requirement which you can’t get from contaminated food.

Ways to increase the Concentration Power

Ways to increase the Concentration Power
NEERAJ MEHTA

Get rid of worrying thoughts
Start taking deep breaths while staring and for a short time after you have finished with long hours of studies
Laughter is good for your brain

Try to get full sleep. Take at least six hour rest for refreshment and relaxation of your mind. A fresh mind can concentrate more easily.

Don’t take too much tea or coffee. Tea or coffee has caffeine that gives you more strength for sometime but soon leaves you sluggish.

Study in a place with no or less distractions. Your study place should be free from such things which may absorb your attention, i.e television, music, changing color bulbs, maps etc. Similarly study in quiet place free from sound distractions.

Take short breaks in long study. If you study for a long time, you get bore and can’t maintain concentration on work. You should refresh your mind by taking short breaks to maintain your concentration on study.

ANTIOXIDANTS. Vitamins C, E, and beta carotene are antioxidants and are also important vitamins for memory. Antioxidants protect brain tissue by breaking down free radicals, which are toxic forms of the oxygen molecule natually found in the bloodstream.

 OMEGA FATTY ACIDS. Omega-3 fatty acids are not really "vitamins" as such, but important fat molecules that enhance memory and brain function. So much is said about so-called bad fats, but the Omega-3 fatty acids are actually a class of good fats.

B VITAMINS. Research shows that B vitamins improve memory by creating a protective shield for the neurons in the brain.

Class X and XII Board exams are a month away and for most students the stress and anxiety levels are running high. So they need to break the monotony and sedentary style of study. NEERAJ MEHTAsays that following an exercise regime, eating a healthy diet, keeping a good posture during study hours and sleeping for eight hours daily not only keeps the body agile, it also boosts the brain
Exams bring with them a strong sense of foreboding for most students who are going to take them. This is particularly the case when students enter the dreaded board examination years. This is when they suddenly realise that exams are a big thing. Such intense competition and pressure of securing an excellent performance tagged result put many of these little minds on the brink of pass through toilsome stressful situation. As a result what follows is a heightened anxiety level for the children. It can be very distressing and sometimes debilitating.
With the Board exams round the corner, it is important to break the monotony and sedentary style of study. Students need to exercise and correct their diet to improve their studies, to regenerate energy levels and increase the level of physical activity. By doing this, a student will be able to rise the level of concentration.
