In 2009 Sara E.Davis published a book titled “The politics of Global Health”. This book
was trying to portray the global politics of health which in turn results in the spread
of epidemics in third world countries. This was indeed an eye opener to the global Health
community.
“International responses to the outbreak of SARS, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and the
promotion of health as a human right all demonstrate how global politics have a profound
effect on the way we think about and respond to major health challenges. Despite a growing
interest in the relationship between health and international relations there has yet to
be a systematic study of the links between them. Global Health Issues aims to fill this
gap – ultimately showing how world politics can be good, or bad, for your health”,
the author commented.

Congratulation everybody! Now you can start dieting to look better in your
swimsuit. Tel Aviv-based company “Consumer Physics” has developed a SCiO app,
which pairs with a smart phone through Bluetooth LE, measures the calorie
content in your diet. This uses near infra-red spectroscopic technique to
analyse and give a real-time nutritional information on any food you wish to
have. The device is not much larger than a common USB drive.
It is very simple to use, once you pair up the SCiO app to your smartphone via
Bluetooth, hold the device an inch away from the food you like to analyse, and
press a button. It sends a beam of its blue light onto the food, in few
seconds, SCiO app will take the spectrometer reading, send it to SCiO servers,
analyzes it and displays the nutritional information on your smart phone
screen in an easy-to-understand manner. Additionally, this has a capacity to
identify some 'over the counter' drugs also.

There has been some concern that chicken meat has been contaminated with antibiotics.
The research study conducted by centre for sciences and environment in New Delhi
detected antibiotic traces in chicken meat. The samples were collected from Delhi area.
Cause of antibiotic in meat
When we consume such meat these antibiotics got absorbed to our body and consequently
some of the bacteria that live within our body can develop resistance to these
antibiotics.
Antibiotic resistance
It means that if we use a conventional antibiotic the bug does not get killed also,
it thrives without being killed. So if we have a disease which caused by bacteria
and when you use conventional antibiotic these smart resistant bacteria will not get
killed.
Doctors advised to keep cautious if you choose a non veg diet. So that we can keep
ourselves from the harms way.
