The purpose of the study is to assess the health status of students at the School of Biomedicine of the Far Eastern Federal University. Material and methods. The health status of 184 medical students (147 young women and 37 young men) was assessed using a sociological survey (questionnaire) and a study of the component composition of the body using bioimpedancemetry. Results. The low physical activity, detected in 68% of students and bad habits (smoking tobacco) have been established to negatively affect students’ health. Among smokers, 75% of students live in dormitories on the university campus. According to the results of bioimpedancemetry, significant deviations from the age norm were noted in terms of body mass index (BMI) (50% of cases) and fat mass (FM) (71% of cases). Significant gender differences in the individual components of the body were not identified. Discussion. The most aggressive factors that significantly affect the health of students are unbalanced nutrition, lack of compliance with the regime of study and rest, lack of sleep and stay in the fresh air, lack of physical activity, lack of motivation for a healthy lifestyle. Significant deviations in BMI and FM, identified by bioimpedancemetry, indicate the risks of developing arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and nutritional status disorders. Medical students need to give recommendations for increasing motor activity and changing diet. Conclusion. The results of the study can be used in the future to determine the functional state of students and develop preventive measures to preserve the health of medical students.

Nutrition is a basic human need and a prerequisite to a healthy life. Since it is bonded with food, it is essential to advocate nutrition in terms of food. A proper diet is important from the very early stages (gestation period) of life for proper growth and development. Neuronutrition portrays how food affects the brain and its function. Brain is where the performances begin and end. It monitors and controls all the energy metabolism of the body and it never stops working. Neuronutrition is the nutrition needed to achieve healthy brain and good neurocognitive function. Dietary manipulations are a viable strategy for enhancing cognitive abilities and protecting the brain from damage. No single food is key to good brain health but rather a combination of food. Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, mental fatigue, and memory problems are prevalent across the world, and this opens the door to provide tailormade products which cater to consumer's desire for better neuronutrition.

THIS ARTICLE HAS NO ABSTRACT (FIRST 100 WORDS OF THE ARTICLE ARE DISPLAYED): Iodine deficiency is the world's most widespread, yet easily preventable, cause of brain damage. Iodine is an essential element that is needed for the production of thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) which are essential for the normal growth and development, and well being of all humans. Iodine was discovered by Courtois in 1811 as a violet vapor arising from seaweed ash while manufacturing gunpowder for Napoleon's army. Gay-Lussac identified it as a new element, and named it iodine, from the Greek for “violet.” Iodine was found in the thyroid gland by 1 Baumann in 1895. The body does. JMS 2012;15(1):1-3.

Therapeutic Properties

<p>Music has almost turned full circle in its application for people whose physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being needs to be addressed, particularly in palliative care. Music has been used for centuries to enhance everyday life, and offer therapeutic properties to heal the body and the soul. Since the development of palliative care as a specialised area of medicine and nursing in the 1970s there has been an increased awareness in providing total or holistic care. This acknowledges the patient as a whole person, and the multitude of difficulties that patients and their families may face. Music can be useful in helping individuals to cope with the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pain that accompanies dying. Because of music's non-threatening nature, it can often 'speak' where words are sometimes difficult. Music is tied closely to human emotions, and often music can be the catalyst to 'lift the lid' off these emotions in a safe, supportive environment. This qualitative study focuses on van Manen's theory of the 'lived experience' in relation to two families and asks the first thesis question. What is the value of music in the care of someone who is dying? Over the course of their loved one's illness these families provided music in the patients home as part of their care. The study also captures the experiences of two nurses who work in the palliative setting, and their use of music in providing holistic care to their patients. Their experiences relate to the second question. How can nurses be assisted in introducing music into their planned care of patients? The results demonstrate the effectiveness of using taped music for someone who is dying, and the reduction in symptoms, such as anxiety, and pain. It also highlights the importance of the individual's choice, and the special moments that can be achieved for both patient and families when music is used in a caring, supportive environment. This encourages communication, especially in the sharing of emotions. This study may be the first qualitative study in New Zealand, that addresses the value of music in palliative care, therefore there is a need for continued research into this therapy as a treatment modality as part of planned care in palliative nursing.</p>

A system for the growth and development of the human body from the “m” module to the age of the newborn and the age of the long-liver for the male and female figures has been created. Module “m” - a fertilized human egg with a double charge of energy is divided, multiplying the mass of the body and energy exponentially, forms in different quantities the growth formulas of the figures, turns into the shape of the human body. After laying the “m” module, the growth and development of the human body goes from the “Crotch” mark up and down, and up more intensively. At the age of 12-15 years, the human body enters the stage of "ripening". From this period, the “m” measurement (the distance between the skin fold on the upper nail phalanx of the little finger of the hand and the apical point of the skin of the little finger) on the human body remains unchanged until the end of life. Growth (length and body weight) lasts up to 18-25 years. After this, only cell renewal occurs due to redox reactions. The development of the body occurs throughout its life

Ayurveda imparts a great emphasis upon the maintenance of positive health of a person. According to WHO, health is a complete state of physical, mental, social, spiritual well being and not merely the absence of disease. Sushruthas quotation regarding Swastha is exactly same which was told many decades back. Healthy body is the outcome of healthy food and lifestyle and it is the basis for health and disease. Nutrient rich diet which is consumed in proper time and amount will help the body which contributes it to maintain the homeostasis. Food has to be properly digested for the nourishment and formation of healthy Dhathu. Digestion takes place in Mahakoshta and as a result of this, food is converted into Prasadamsa and Kittamsa. Dhatus are formed in a series from Rasa to Shukra from this Prasada portion. Dhatus after their Dhatuagni paka is divided into Sara and Kitta bhaga, and from this Kitta bhaga dhatu malas are formed. Malas represent a wide variety of substances produced by the body through different Pakas conducted in the body. Removal of metabolites and waste products are the basic physiological functions of body. Mala are the waste products that need to be eliminated from the body periodically. Scope of the experiment: Here in this article the physiological interpretation of Dhatumala and its need to be flushed out on regular basis is explained. Physiological view point of Dhathumala will help to understand what it is and how it is formed in the body in a better way to the present generation.
