Cochin, the Queen of the Arabian Sea, is home to so many amazing places.

Depression is not a part of aging

The idea of old age as a time of relaxation, reflection, and opportunities to complete tasks postponed while raising families and pursuing jobs is common.   Unfortunately, aging is not always a happy process. An aging person's emotional health can suffer greatly from late-life occurrences including depression in seniors, mood swings in seniors, stress in seniors, loneliness in seniors and anxiety in seniors.   Although aging is a natural part of life, depression does not have to be. The mental and physical effects of depression can be mitigated and prevented by early learning the benefits of meditation.   Athulya Home Care offers the most comprehensive and evaluative solutions for seniors, as well as nursing care for seniors and all-inclusive geriatric counseling at home.   You may age gracefully by practicing meditation, which keeps your mind active and peaceful. Seniors looking for new ways to improve their health may be pleasantly surprised by the surprising hea...

Arise awake and stop not until the goal is reached. (World Disability Persons Day)

Certain things make a person become a child, no matter what age they are. One such thing is catching butterflies. More often you would have sat in a garden doing nothing. Your attention will be grabbed by a fluttering butterfly. The child in you won’t resist catching it in your fingers. The moment you catch it you will start admiring its beauty. Butterflies are beautiful right? But have you seen each stage of a butterfly’s metamorphosis? Egg, Larva, Pupil, Butterfly. If you contemplate whether the butterfly looks beautiful at each stage, the answer is, No! The eggs, larva, and pupil are not as beautiful as the final stage. But it fights against all the odds to come out beautifully as a butterfly. It’s the same with human beings too. Not everyone’s life will be pleasant. But with sheer willpower, confidence, and faith anyone can come out victoriously.  With World disability person day observed in December, I planned on writing this blog. And I couldn’t think of an apt and empoweri...

Fighting Cancer with hope

Hope.  “What does hope mean to you?” This was the question I asked my colleagues recently. There were so many interesting and unique answers I received from them. I don’t have any hesitations in admitting all their wide spectrum of answers gave me a broader perspective on hope. However, it gave me an insight that hope lies in different things for different people. No matter what, every human being will cling to something as a hope to face the world when everything falls apart.  As Lung cancer month was observed in the month of November, and the discussion on hope urged me to write this blog. This blog is focused to bring about some hope to the people fighting cancer and their family. There are many famous personalities who fought cancer with hope and have set an example that anything can be faced in life.   Yuvraj Singh:   “Six sixes in an over.”  You know whom I’m talking about. His T-20 world cup accomplishment in the year 2007 can never be forgotten. Yu...

Sun-downing syndrome - All you want to know

  Yesterday after a stomach full lunch at home, I took a nap. After a deep sleep, I woke up wondering which time of the day it is. I know I’m not the only one who has experienced this kind of confusion. Quite often you would have taken a nap during a random time of the day and when you wake up it might have taken you a while to figure out which time of the day it is.  But can you believe if we say that there is a syndrome that has a similar kind of confusion? Yes, this syndrome is called Sundowning Syndrome.  Sundowning syndrome otherwise called late-day confusion is a neurological phenomenon. Sundowning syndrome is a state of confusion that arises during the late afternoon and this state prolongs till the night. Though there are numerous studies conducted on sundowning syndrome no standard definition has been declared yet.  Sundowning syndrome is not a disease. It is a group of symptoms or behavior, thoughts, and feeling that is common in seniors with neurologic...
