Nutrition is a basic human necessity as well as a requirement for a healthy lifestyle. Especially in elderly people, nutrition is an essential modulator of health and well-being. Nutritional intake in older people is sometimes hampered by a variety of circumstances like isolation depression, weak muscles etc. which increases the risk of various diseases. An effective Food Assessment system that classifies and estimates calorie requirements from a cooked food image is highly recommended, allowing a person to discover what foods contain and how healthy it can be. In this paper a dietary assessment system is developed which classifies the given Indian cooked food image and further estimates its Calories and nutrients by obtaining food region. The proposed method was tested on certain fruits and cooked foods, yielding an average error rate of 8.31, which is highly acceptable.
The Woman is a God-given boon to mankind. She is the most lively and endearing personality on the earth because of her never-ending compassion and her care for fellow human beings. She is such a protective shield for humanity that tolerates everything with a smile. But ironically this male-dominated society has been harming, crushing, and suppressing its armor for centuries. The status of a woman in our society is still debatable. A woman sacrifices her desires, aspirations, and ambitions at every phase of her life sometimes by being a daughter, a wife, a sister, or a mother. From time to time woman finds herself in such an odd and precarious situation that later causes her plight. The present paper attempts to explain the plight of the female protagonist, Mary Turner in the novel The Grass Is Singing written by Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing.
Snehapan is well stated in the textGiving Panchakarma without appropriate sneha can damage the body like bending dry wood without smearing it with oil. When using Snehapan as a shodhana therapy, all of the SamyakaLakshana (symptoms) of Snehapan must be noted on a daily basis in order to obtain the accurate results described in the text. The number of days for snehapana are already giveni.e.,3, 5, or maximum 7 days, but how can we calculate these days if we are not evaluating Snehapansymptoms? Through this review, we intend to have a better understanding of changes appear in our body during the procedure and how these symptoms equipped us in determining the days of Snehapan.
Spondylitis is a type of arthritis caused by spinal wear and tear. It can impair the spines movement and affects the nerves and other functions. Spondylolysis affects 6-10% of the general population and 25-60% of athletes. The most prevalent form of spine dysfunction in the elderly is scoliosis. The Sthanika (External)basti therapy is a localized form of svedana procedure. Warm medicated oil is pooled over specific parts of body by a special arrangement for local pain relief. Svedana is a pain-relieving therapy in and of itself. It is proved to be effective in disease like, lumbar spondylitis, ankylosing. Spondylosis, sacroiliitis, disc prolapse (IVDP).
Various nutrients are necessary for humans to remain healthy and active. Maintaining a high quality of life now depends on keeping track of everyday eating habits to prevent consuming too many calories and incorrect nutrients. Computerized applications can help Indian elderly people maintain and improve their overall health by providing pertinent information such as calories and nutritional details and following a strict diet plan suited to their ailments. In order to create optimized diet plans that take disease prevalence, food availability, and user preferences into account, the paper offers the Multi Constraint Metaheuristic integrated with the Knapsack approach. The solution's quality is attained by applying a dynamic, personalized set of food items. The average error percentage obtained by the suggested algorithm is 4.15.
