Allergy: A Disorder of Immune System
As I written in last post that I will start posts (information) about the treatment & various techniques, which were used in home, against to the diseases. NOT against to severe diseases but if we don't look out on these diseases it will become severe one. Topic of today is Allergy, very common and simple disorder of our immune system against allergens (present in environment). Now question arises what are these,.... allergens??? Before this we have to know about brief knowledge about Allergy.
Allergy: - It is a disorder of our immune system against those environmental substances which are non-acceptable by our immune system like odour/smell (odour/smell of flower), allergy against food materials etc... (A simple definition)Biologically: - Allergy is one of four forms of hypersensitivity and is called type I (or immediate) hypersensitivity. It is characterized by excessive activation of certain white blood cells called mast cells and basophils by a type of antibody known as IgE, resulting in an extreme inflammatory response. Common allergic reactions include eczema, hives, hay fever, asthma, food allergies, and reactions to the venom of stinging insects such as wasps and bees.
Our body's immune system is familiar to many environmental substances, if un-familiar substances are faced by our immune system then Allergy may occur.In condition of Allergy, if our body comes in contact of foreign substance, our body release chemical like Histamin etc, which are responsible to the changes in our immune system.

YOGA : Iyengar yoga
A specific type of yoga may help improve stability and balance in women over age 65, possibly helping them to avoid falls, a preliminary study reports. After nine weeks of participating in an Iyengar yoga program designed for senior citizens, 24 elderly females had a faster stride, an increased flexibility in the lower extremities, an improved single-leg stance and increased confidence in walking and balance. Improving balance and stability through yoga could help reduce the risk of falling.
Subjects demonstrated improved muscle strength in lower extremities, which helps with stability. There was also a pronounced difference in how pressure was distributed on the bottom of the foot, which helps to maintain balance.In other report it has been cleared that falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma among people aged 65 and older. Almost a third of older adults suffer some type of fall each year.
The program was crafted specifically for elderly people who have had little or no yoga experience. The Iyengar technique, which is known for the use of props such as belts and blocks, was chosen to help participants gradually master the poses while building their confidence.Researchers also found that some participants who had unrelated back and knee pain were pain-free by the end of this course. Iyengar yoga affects the function of the foot to improve balance and stability and prevent falls.
