Do burqas stop women absorbing vitamin D? Expert controversially argues restrictive clothing blocks UV rays, but this can be overcome with 'sunshine supplements' Last month, UKIP leader Paul Nuttall said a burka ban would help women boost their vitamin D levels from sunlight. Yet an expert from the University of Aberdeen said diet and supplements are enough. 49 comments 23 shares Do burqas prevent women from absorbing vitamin D?
Health is the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental, psychological and social changes with environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value, the ambiguity in developing cohesive health strategies, and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete". Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health.
Genetics, or inherited traits from parents, also play a role in determining the health status of individuals and populations. This can encompass both the predisposition to certain diseases and health conditions, as well as the habits and behaviors individuals develop through the lifestyle of their families. For example, genetics may play a role in the manner in which people cope with stress, either mental, emotional or physical. For example, obesity is a very large problem in the United States that contributes to bad mental health and causes stress in a lot of people's lives. (One difficulty is the issue raised by the debate over the relative strengths of genetics and other factors; interactions between genetics and environment may be of particular importance.)

Women damaged by a mesh designed to treat post-childbirth incontinence have finally been offered a glimmer of hope after enduring years of misery. As Good Health has repeatedly reported, many have suffered as the plastic mesh disintegrated into fragments which slice like cheesewire into surrounding flesh, causing crippling pain and infection, worsened incontinence, difficulty walking and, for some, the end of their sex lives. Yet despite all this, the NHS has continued to give the implant a clean bill of health. And then earlier this year, a Scottish Government investigation rejected calls for the material to be banned.
Dylan Rosnick, 18, was born with a birth defect called Proteus syndrome, which causes his fingers to be grossly overgrown. The Virginia teen has three fingers on each hand that are abnormally long, with his his left fingers extending six inches and around an inch wide. Dylan's birth defect allows him to grip the baseball in a certain way and leads to an unhittable and truly unique pitch. Pictured: Dylan pitching in high school (left), Dylan in 2013 (top right) and Dylan in 2015 (bottom right).
It is better for patients and for the NHS if we keep people healthy in the first place, rather than just waiting until people develop illnesses and come for treatment, but 40% of NHS spending is on diseases that are preventable. We need to do more to promote healthy eating and exercise, making people aware of the dangers of smoking and excessive consumption of alcohol and other drugs, and helping to improve mental health and wellbeing. We will: Move towards a health and social care system that empowers and encourages people to better manage their own health and conditions and to live healthier lives. Publish a National Wellbeing Strategy, which puts better health and wellbeing for all at the heart of government policy. Implement the recommendations of the O'Neill report on antimicrobial resistance to ensure responsible prescribing and investment in diagnostics and innovation. Make Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention available on the NHS. Support effective public awareness campaigns like Be Clear on Cancer and learn from what works when designing new health promotion campaigns to change behaviour. Keep public health within local government, where it is effectively joined-up with preventive community services, and re-instate the funding cut from public health budgets by the Conservatives. Develop a strategy to tackle childhood obesity including restricting the marketing of junk food to children, restricting TV advertising before the 9pm watershed, and closing loopholes in the sugary drinks tax. Encourage the traffic light labelling system for food products and publication of information on calorie, fat, sugar and salt content in restaurants and takeaways. Introduce mandatory targets on sugar reduction for food and drink producers. Reduce smoking rates, introducing a levy on tobacco companies so they fairly contribute to the costs of health care and smoking cessation services. Implement the recommendations of the Keogh review to regulate cosmetic surgery and ensure that the NHS is not picking up the tab for private malpractice. Introduce minimum unit pricing for alcohol, subject to the final outcome of the legal challenge in Scotland. Develop a public health campaign promoting the steps people can take to improve their own mental resilience – the wellbeing equivalent of the ‘Five a Day’ campaign. Support good practice among employers in promoting wellbeing and ensure people with mental health problems get the help they need to stay in or find work, with a ‘Wellbeing Premium’ to reward employers who take clear action to measurably improve the health of their employees. We will develop a just settlement for haemophiliacs who were given contaminated blood, and for their families.

Public health has been described as "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals." It is concerned with threats to the overall health of a community based on population health analysis. The population in question can be as small as a handful of people or as large as all the inhabitants of several continents (for instance, in the case of a pandemic). Public health has many sub-fields, but typically includes the interdisciplinary categories of epidemiology, biostatistics and health services. Environmental health, community health, behavioral health, and occupational health are also important areas of public health.

Public health also takes various actions to limit the health disparities between different areas of the country and, in some cases, the continent or world. One issue is the access of individuals and communities to health care in terms of financial, geographical or socio-cultural constraints to accessing and using services. Applications of the public health system include the areas of maternal and child health, health services administration, emergency response, and prevention and control of infectious and chronic diseases.
Health Psychology Health psychologists use their knowledge of psychology and health to promote general well-being and understand physical illness. They are specially trained to help people deal with the psychological and emotional aspects of health and illness as well as supporting people who are chronically ill. Health psychologists promote healthier lifestyles and try to find ways to encourage people to improve their health. For example, they may help people to lose weight or stop smoking. Health psychologist also uses their skills to try to improve the healthcare system. For example, they may advise doctors about better ways to communicate with their patients.

Hanna Barrott (left and right), from Ooltewah in Tennessee, has lamellar ichthyosis - a genetic skin disorder that makes the skin cells rapidly generate and shed (inset). To prevent cracking, bleeding and getting potentially deadly infections, she has lotion rubbed onto her body twice a day. Her parents monitor her closely to ensure she doesn't overheat because her sweat glands are blocked by skin which can cause her to faint. Hannah can only wear 100 per cent cotton clothing to protect her skin, while her mother Megan and father Tyson, 30, have to vacuum the house each day.
Tres Johnson, from Missouri, US, has rare craniofacial duplication and is the only survivor of the congenital disorder. There are only 36 cases worldwide.

Boy, 9, who has a swollen belly the size of a BEACH BALL from a rare disease that causes poo to become stuck in the bowels will die without surgery Shah Gul Mazar, from Pakistan (pictured left and right), has life-threatening Hirschsprung's disease, which causes a build-up of faeces inside his bowel, making his belly swell. He has suffered with the condition since birth but his family cannot afford surgery. The lack of treatment is causing a severe infection of his large bowel. Without the operation soon, Shah has an 80% chance of dying from the disease. 'We are worried about his life as his belly is not stopping growing', he says. Hopes are raised after a good samaritan has offered to pay for the surgery 44 comments 1 video 46 shares Boy, 9, has swollen belly the size of a beach ball from rare disease

Some contributing factors to poor health are lifestyle choices. These include smoking cigarettes, and also can include a poor diet, whether it is overeating or an overly constrictive diet. Inactivity can also contribute to health issues and also a lack of sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, and neglect of oral hygiene . There are also genetic disorders that are inherited by the person and can vary in how much they affect the person and when they surface .
The NHS does an amazing job under enormous pressure. Most people get truly world-class care, but every single day patients suffer avoidable life-changing conditions and even die because they don’t get the right treatment in time. Nurses and doctors in the NHS and elsewhere simply don’t have the tools to instantly analyse each test result, determine the right treatment, and make sure that every single patient who needs complex or urgent care is escalated to the right specialist immediately.
