Today, we
unearth for you the top 5 fashion factors, which affect your health. Here we
go.
The health risks of skinny and tight jeans. Wearing ridiculously tight or skinny jeans is often linked to nerve impairments and yeast infections. The butt-squeezing, thigh-hugging denim favored by hipsters across the city can cause nerve damage if too tight. Tingling and numbness are symptoms of the condition meralgia paresthetica that occurs when the nerve that runs down the front of the thigh is compressed.
Not only this, wearing very tight jeans or underwear can also lead to urinary tract infections.
High heels and health risks. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology revealed that women who habitually wear high heels are at risk of permanent physiological damage to their knees, hips, back and tendons -- and damage can be seen in women as young as 25 years of age.
Other than this, women who wear high heels often complain of acute lower back pain, along with other muscular deformities and sprains
Hair colour and its health effects. Colouring your hair with a bad quality hair dye can have detrimental effects on your hair. Signs of a mild reaction can be irritation to the upper eyelids or the rims of ears and in some unfortunate and extreme cases, it can affect the whole head or body.
Accessories
can be unhealthy too. Wearing mini-pancake sized earrings
can harm you in more ways than one. Wearing jumbo jet-sized earrings can
actually tear through your ear lobe, which can only be reversed by cosmetic
surgery. On the other hand, carrying spacious bags can also be harmful as it
can lead to bad posture, stiffening of the neck severe headaches and also
muscular tension.
Extreme eye makeup and its health effects. Kajal and Surma are traditional Indian ingredients used to enhance the shape of the eyes. However, using a bad quality or brand Kajal can lead to conjunctivitis - chemical, toxic and infective, allergy, toxicity / chemical reaction, meibomitis, corneal ulcer - which can potentially lead to blindness, uveitis - certain chemicals in kajal can incite inflammation inside the eye, glaucoma - some constituents can increase eye pressure leading to glaucoma and conjunctival discoloration.

Physicians
of Indian origin seek more opportunities in the US
The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin
(AAPI) has taken a firm step towards giving back to the community. The AAPI is
developing a sustained strategy to take the organisation forward with a renewed
commitment of giving back to the community. The new executive team is also
working on plans to enhance opportunities for the professional growth of its
members. The AAPI members comprise of over 65,000 Indian origin physicians,
25,000 fellows and residents. “The slate of officers for AAPI 2012-13 comprise
of individuals who are dedicated, industrious, experienced and very aware of
the challenges that lie ahead,” said Kumar. “AAPI has become a force to reckon
with; we will all work together, stay focused and make you proud of our
organization,” added Kumar, who has been practicing otolaryngology – head &
neck surgery – in Saginaw, Michigan since 1988.
Shah, an internationally recognised clinician in wound
management and hyperbaric medicine and a two-time recipient of Jefferson C
Davis Memorial Award at the Gulf Coast Chapter, has pioneered the formation of
Hyperbaric Medical Society in India. “With its extensive knowledge network,
AAPI could advance the science of healing all over the world,” said Shah, the
youngest president-elect of AAPI.
He wants AAPI to reach locations where it has never gone
before. “I am looking forward to AAPI having an administrative office in
Chicago, a legislative office in Washington and an India liaison office in New
Delhi.” Jahagirdar, one of the pioneers of robotic surgery in his field has a
special interest in obtaining industry liaison and corporate sponsorship for
conditions unique to the Indian Diaspora. Jain, a practicing psychiatrist in
New Jersey, sees her role as a woman leader in AAPI to take up women’s health
issues in society. Treasurer Lodha wants AAPI “to be a platform in helping our
young physicians coming from India to seek residencies and to help them in
settlement and to get jobs”.
