Balance the hormones right !<br />

Do men also suffer from<br />

hormonal imbalance?<br />

Yes they do. Recent<br />

research indicates<br />

that male hormone –<br />

Testosterone deficiency<br />

is much more common<br />

than previously<br />

recognized and does<br />

cause a lot of discomfort<br />

to both younger and<br />

older men<br />

What are the disorders<br />

affecting testosterone<br />

level?<br />

Weight gain along with<br />

sedentary work (sitting<br />

work) and work stress can<br />

reduce the levels of male<br />

hormone -testosterone<br />

. This mainly manifests<br />

as unexplained fatigue,<br />

loss of energy and<br />

libido(sexual desire)<br />

and loss of muscularity.<br />

When the deficiency of<br />

male hormone is more<br />

it can lead to poor<br />

erections and even<br />

difficulty fathering<br />

a child. Obstructive<br />

sleep apnea(OSA)- a<br />

phenomenon where<br />

excess fat accumulation<br />

in the neck region<br />

obstructs breathing<br />

at night - can also<br />

reduce testosterone<br />

levels. Recent research<br />

is showing that men<br />

with these symptoms<br />

do well with hormone<br />

supplementation. Some<br />

problems with the<br />

pituitary gland, and long<br />

standing diseases of other<br />

organs can also decrease<br />

testosterone, which needs<br />

to be supplemented<br />

after consulting the<br />

endocrinologist<br />

What possible<br />

hormonal imbalances<br />

occur<br />

after<br />

menopause?<br />

Menopause is a state<br />

wherein there is a<br />

sudden decrease in<br />

female hormones.<br />

Theses may cause<br />

a lot of hot flashes<br />

and psychological<br />

imbalances. While<br />

hormone replacement<br />

was initially thought<br />

necessary, it causes<br />

more harm if all<br />

menopausal women<br />

use it in general.<br />

Hormone replacement<br />

GOLDEN HOUR!!<br />

What is golden hour?<br />

It's not sinking in gold<br />

for an hour. Saving<br />

a person's life at the<br />

last moment is called<br />

GOLDEN HOUR!!<br />

We all see accidents<br />

happening on d road<br />

and we are ready to<br />

take a photo but have<br />

we ever thought what<br />

will be the 1st step to<br />

save their life? We need<br />

not necessarily be a<br />

doctor to save them.<br />

Even we can save them<br />

by at least 10% getting<br />

them immediate AID<br />

when you see they are<br />

critical (accident or<br />

natural). Saving them<br />

at the right time will<br />

save their family for<br />

ever.<br />

Thozhan is going to<br />

conduct a workshop to<br />

make people learn all<br />

this AIDS. Thozhan is<br />

ready to bring ALERT<br />

to you and your family<br />

This is 1st step<br />

towards ACCIDENT<br />

FREE NATION. The<br />

one and only main<br />

goal for Thozhan. Join<br />

hands to make our<br />

has to be done only<br />

after consultation with<br />

endocrinologist and a<br />

gynaecologist<br />

What are the possibility<br />

of developing weak<br />

bones after menopause?<br />

Female hormones<br />

prevent leakage of<br />

calcium from bones.<br />

After menopause,<br />

calcium doesn’t get<br />

retained easily in<br />

the bones. This is<br />

called osteoporosis.<br />

Osteoporosis increases<br />

the risk of f racture<br />

highly, leading<br />

to unnecessary<br />

hospitalization and<br />

loss of mobility. A team<br />

of a gynaecologist,<br />

endocrinologist<br />

and if necessary<br />

orthopaedician can go a<br />

long way in preventing<br />

fractures.<br />

Raft is a public<br />

transport mobile app<br />

for Chennai. Raft gives<br />

you the best routes<br />

to take between two<br />

points in the city, using<br />

up to date timings of<br />

Chennai MTC Buses<br />

and Local Trains.<br />

Currently, there are<br />

several apps (including<br />

Google Maps) which<br />

give information on<br />

bus and train routes<br />

in Chennai. But<br />

the accuracy of the<br />

information is not<br />

reliable. When we<br />

started working on this<br />

app, we realised that<br />

most of the information<br />

(such as stop locations,<br />

route numbers and<br />

schedules) has not<br />

been either captured or<br />

digitized.<br />

In the last six months,<br />

we mapped the entire<br />

made using Panner,<br />

Spinach, Mushroom,<br />

Capsicum, Corn,<br />

Cucumber, Mixed<br />

Fruits etc., in different<br />

Public transport mobile app<br />

network of MTC<br />

Buses and Local<br />

Trains in Chennai. We<br />

meticulously located<br />

over 6000 bus stops of<br />

our city and mapped<br />

more than 1500 route<br />

numbers.<br />

We launched Raft in<br />

the last week of Dec’<br />

combinations are<br />

all time favourite for<br />

have more than 9000<br />

downloads on Google<br />

Play Store, which is<br />

rising steadily. We<br />

have a team dedicated<br />

to collect information<br />

on the ground. This<br />

has helped us provide<br />

the best information<br />

available to the<br />

Chennai commuters.<br />

As an example, MTC<br />

changed route numbers<br />

few weeks ago. We<br />

were able to capture<br />

it immediately in the<br />

application. Google<br />

Maps is still showing<br />

the old numbers.<br />

Raft strives to give<br />

the latest and most<br />

accurate info to the bus<br />

and train commuters of<br />

Chennai. It is a simple<br />

and easy to use mobile<br />

app with seamless user<br />

experience.
