Defeating Diseases By Designs
What are the exact reasons of health problems and body disorders. If any thing wrong with our style of living. In the modern scientific world of today we have to investigate all possibilities.
In most systems of medicine it is stated , a disease is caused by faulty food intake or disturbance of mind besides unhygienic habits.
A system of treatment called Osteopathy , is based on the idea that mis aligned spinal vertebra is the cause of most illness and this type of treatment is well accepted by people.
Standing for long hours and long queues put too much strain on spinal vertebra. According to age the damage done to ones health can be of any magnitude due to standing very long.
Pollution of the environment causes diseases, increases susceptibility to diseases and reduces the physical capabilities of the people.
Now a days we find health centres teach things like millions of disease causing germs stick in our hands during working hours. They get into our body along with eatables. To prevent this the hands should always be washed before consuming food. Food items sold in the market uncovered get disease causing bacteria from dust particles.
Growing industries and population are adding waste , garbage, smoke and many other unwanted things continuously into the environment , thereby contaminating the air we breath , the water we drink and the food we eat.
Washing hand, covering food items sold , are simple to follow and people follow. But suppose you are in a public place. Like a new year party arranged in a ground. Eating stalls arranged in a puja pendal. Some one invited you for a marriage party. There you are forced to adjust with the arrangements.
Few things you can observe like this:
After eating ,the plates which people loved so much till they finish their food being left here and there on the ground or inside few dustbins kept on the ground. Sometimes due to less number of dustbins plates getting overflowed. Sometimes due to very tall high capacity dustbins you find your hands/coat everything getting dirty.
If you stay for a longer time and watch , you will see stray dogs and cats putting their mouth and eating leftovers from the plates and dustbins. Same plates are cleaned and again used. If the eating arrangement is in a closed hall these dogs manage to get upto the dustbins for a short time even if you employ security to keep a watch.
Several kinds of bacteria and virus grow in polluted water and spread diseases like cholera, typhoid, jaundice, diarrhoea, tuberculosis, stomach ailments and liver disorder. Garbage etc give birth to disease causing bacteria which attack human beings as well as animals. Allergic diseases like asthma, eczema are due to pollen of flowers, grasses, weeds, animal hairs.
Incubation period of a disease ( the period between the entry of germ into the body and appearance of actual symptoms of the disease) varies widely for different diseases. For example for typhoid it is 10-14 days ,for leprosy it is 2 to 4 years. The diseases for which incubation period is high are difficult to detect till some symptoms appear on the body and difficult to treat if can not be detected early.
Toilets which are visited by too many people are more probable of transmitting diseases due to urine infection and other skin diseases.
Different simple designs have been found used by people at different places and showing good results.
1 Dustbins can be of size such that it holds six to ten plates and these can be kept at a height of three feet. With this height it has been found stray dogs can not reach upto the plates whether the party is in open ground or a closed hall.
Suppose you invite 600 guests then you put 100 dustbins. You can place 50/50 numbers in two rows in both sides of the hall/ground. You may find uneasy with this number. But put these as decorative items in the hall like you put so many tube lights in a function. Then everybody finds very easy to put his plates and glasses in the dustbin. And mentally you feel very good.
2 When your office is having a auditorium of 300 seats and you expect more audience than the seating capacity for a function then make two shows of the function instead of keeping people standing .In many official programs it is found the employees are kept waiting too long for a senior officer and when the senior officer arrives, starts discussing with some groups at some other place. This type of sequencing of programs should be changed. The longer people wait the toilets are used by more people. Where number of people are more you have to see these points.
3 Make more counters to avoid long queues. And keep nearby enough chairs for people to seat when they wish.
4 In very old towns the construction of lanes are very narrow in certain areas and it becomes top for the people to move in such places using the rickshaw /autorickshaw normaly available/used. Special narrow vehicles, half the width of the normal rickshaw /autorickshaw can make these areas improve in all respects.
5 People of the area who love their area and capable of trying ,can take such attempts by searching and getting the correct vehicles from the market. Good transportation facilities inside an area is very important to keep the place clean and improves life of the people residing.
