			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Drugs changes the behavior of the human being. It changes the body conditions and the functioning of the brain. These also have potential to improve human health. A prescription medicine improves the health and cures the diseases. There is no difference between the prescription (legal) and recreational (illegal) drugs. It is the amount of the dosage that makes actual difference; because drugs used for recreational purposes are also used for medicinal uses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Depending on the dosage they are classified into two types. They are: legal and the illegal. Legal dugs doesn&#8217;t mean that they are safe to use. A legal drug means which are not banned by the government. Some of them are to be used only through prescription of the physician for curing any ailment. But some of them like alcohol, nicotine which are not banned by the government and drugs that are not suggested by the physician are not safe for the health.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Illegal drugs are not prescribed by the physicians. The drugs which are being abused are called as the illegal drugs. Illegal drugs like depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, anesthetics, narcotics, steroids, Inhalants are being abused for recreational and for rapid increase of fitness. Each and every illegal drug has it own disadvantages which spoil the health, finally end up with loss of life. Most of the illegal drugs makes the person drowsy and calm, reduces tension for the short term cases and even increases the blood pressure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The addiction to the illegal drugs makes the person weak in both the cases of physical and psychological ways. In some cases some of the legal drugs also result in the same situation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A depressed person will have problem of moving. They cannot do regular exercises and will be  intolerable. But Yoga exercise, beginning with few three poses a day for few minutes and with correct breathing patterns, will be very comfortable will soon make a person to do more and more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yoga exercises will insert pressure on glands and organs, which helps them to producing the soothing, healing chemical balance that is required to feel better. Yoga exercises enhances circulation, stimulating oxygen to brain and to all muscles. The stretching and strengthening postures helps in expelling  toxins from the body.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The deep, stimulating breath techniques of Yoga will send huge amounts of fresh oxygen to the brain and other body parts. Oxygen is pumped through the entire system producing new light and strength to the idle parts of the body and mind where depression is remained unseen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Regular practice of Yoga will protect a person from depression and helps to stay bright-minded,  at the same time identifying the signals which depression generates.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even though practicing yoga is not a method to replace treatment recommended by medical doctor or therapist, it can be used in combination with any prescribed treatment to help in the process of recovery. Yoga is 100% natural and drug free, so there are no chances of drug interactions or harmful side effects. Yoga provides both physical and mental benefits.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The physical exercise of yoga helps in relieving the depression by eliminating the physiological indications of stress and by increasing the levels of particular chemicals in bodies which serve as major player in uplifting our mood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people are not aware of the benefits of drug addiction treatment and have wrong notions regarding drug addiction treatment. Few myths and facts regarding drug addiction treatment are:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Myth: If you&#8217;ve tried one doctor or treatment program, you&#8217;ve tried everything.</strong><br />
<strong>Fact: </strong>Every doctor or program may not be the correct fit for a person seeking treatment. For most of the people, recognizing a way which is personally efficient for treating their addiction can signify consulting many  different doctors and treatment centers before a correct match is acquired between patient and program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Myth: People don&#8217;t require treatment. They can terminate using drugs if they really desire to.<br />
</strong><strong>Fact:</strong> It is very difficult for people addicted to drugs to negotiate and maintain long-term avoidance. Research reveals that long-term drug use will alter a person&#8217;s brain function, making them to intensely desire the drug and making it extremely difficult to quit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Myth: Treatment just will not work.</strong><br />
<strong>Fact:</strong> Studies found that drug treatment decreases drug use by 40 to 60 percent and can extremely decline criminal actions during and after treatment. It was also found that drug addiction treatment decreases the risk of HIV infection.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Myth: You can&#8217;t force drug addict into treatment.<br />
</strong><strong>Fact: </strong>Treatment need not to be voluntary. People compelled into treatment by the legal system can be successful as those who take treatment voluntarily. Sometimes they preform better, because they are more likely to stay in treatment longer and to finish the program.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Myth: People abuse drugs after treatment are hopeless.<br />
</strong><strong>Fact: </strong>Drug addiction is like a chronic disorder and occasional relapse should not be considered as failure. Psychological stress caused by work or family problems, social acts, or their environment ( associated with drug use) can easily provoke relapse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Oral and injected steroids are medications, which are used to treat infection in the body. When they are taken in oral or injected forms, the course of regulation is referred as systemic. These medicines are widely used to treat variety of diseases, like systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other autoimmune diseases. Systemic steroids are also used for the treatment of asthma attacks, and sometimes, severe allergic rhinitis symptoms.</p>
