  “Eyes are a priceless blessing — if they shine, the world shines.” Staring at smartphones and tablets for hours without blinking reduces moisture in the eyes. Eyes are a delicate and highly sensitive part of the human body. Due to accidents, negligence, or ageing, a person can suffer from various eye problems.

Some eye conditions require immediate medical examination and treatment, while even minor or common complaints should be checked by a doctor, because even a little carelessness can lead to darkness.

Bones and joints are essential for maintaining physical structure and movement. Taking care of them is extremely important, as any damage to their health can lead to bone- and joint-related diseases.

  Longer life, more plant oils, and less butter? Increasing plant-based fats and decreasing butter consumption may help people live longer. Unfortunately for butter enthusiasts like me, a recent Harvard study that was published in JAMA Internal Medicine gave a strong push to the seesawing studies on whether butter is healthful or unhealthy.

Based on the amount of butter and plant oils that individuals reported using on dietary questionnaires, the researchers split the part...
