According to the World Health Organization, Health Literacy (HL) corresponds to the cognitive and social abilities that determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access, to understand, and to use information in ways that provide and maintain good health. The development of HL in dentistry came late, and only in the last decade did it reach a level similar to that in the medical area. In dentistry, HL centered on the concept of Oral Health Literacy (OHL), defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic information on oral health and services that is necessary to make appropriate health decisions. The evidence suggests that people with low HL have worse health status and greater use of medical resources, which results in an increase in costs in the general population. Determinants of the level of OHL include age, level of education, and socioeconomic level. These determinants are reflected in low oral health and in less access to information or less understanding regarding care, pathologies, or dental treatments. The instruments for measuring HL and OHL are mainly aimed at recognizing arithmetic and reading skills, which are not fully related to the ability of the people surveyed to find, understand and use information related to health. OHL is an important issue at the level of health programs, because knowledge of OHL helps in medical practice, in disease prevention and in health promotion. OHL instruments must have validated and demonstrate adequate psychometric properties.

The subject of this article is the social stigmatization. The goal consists in determination and analysis of the forms of social stigmatization in particular conditions of the spread of pandemic. The authors underline that the persons who got affected by coronavirus, as well as their family members and close friends, are being stigmatized. Aggressive and inadequate behavior of the public often manifests with regards to medical personnel who deals directly with the virus. Identification of the factors affecting the process of social stigmatization in the conditions of pandemic would allow reducing the level of psychological tension in the society. The following methods were applied in the course of this research observation and analysis of theoretical sources, news and other broadcasting throughout the 4 weeks of self-isolation regime, analysis of publication in social networks, online survey involving 594 respondents. The empirical base is comprised of statistical data provided by the World Health Organization. The scientific novelty and relevance consist in the fact that Russian sociology does not give due attention to the problems of stigmatization. A particular social situation of pandemic represents a specific social background and field for stigma. In the conditions of pandemic, stigmatization intensifies and takes specific forms: it affects not only the people who differs by social role, appearance or lifestyle, but even those who have mild symptoms of cold. Stigmatization is accompanied by aggression, fear, anxiety, which are often generated by prejudices, stereotypes and rumors.

Food organised by proper diet may maintain the physical and mental health of the individual. Ayurveda aims to promote and preserve the health, strength and the longevity of the healthy person and to cure the disease by properly channelling with and without Ahara. In Ayurveda, diet (Ahara) is considered as one of the critical pillars of life, and Langhana plays an important role too.
