Hair loss is the first sign of distress within the body; so, it needs to be taken seriously. This is because the health of your hair and your scalp provide insightful cues into a host of latent disorders – such as thyroid problems, diabetes and heart diseases – much before a clinical diagnosis is established.

Acne is a skin condition that is commonly referred to as ‘pimples’ or ‘zits’. Though it is a skin condition, it probably causes more damage to the patient's psyche than to the skin.

Allergic rhinitis, also known as nasal allergy, is not considered to be life-threatening. However, it can drastically affect a patient's quality of life.

Therefore, early therapeutic help is necessary to avoid health consequences.

Obesity refers to an excess amount of body fat. It is a common occurrence in adults because of a sedentary lifestyle. However, the sudden and sharp rise of obesity in children and adolescents is concerning; it has shockingly gone up by 400% over the past 30 years. Childhood obesity adversely affects a child’s health in the short as well as long run. The extra kilos of weight give children health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which are usually more common among adults and the elderly. This condition also increases the risk of early onset adult health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, reproductive problems, joint pains, etc. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression. As most children do what they see, one of the best strategies to prevent childhood obesity is to improve the diet and exercise habits of the entire family. If a child or teenager is overweight, further weight gain can be prevented. Breastfeeding and delaying the introduction of solid foods during infancy may help prevent obesity. From early childhood, children should be given healthy, low-fat snacks and encouraged to take part in moderate to vigorous physical activities every day. Their television viewing should be limited to no more than one hour per day. Older children can be taught to select healthy, nutritious foods and develop good exercise habits.

Parents' concerns about their children’s slow development in height and weight are commonplace. Many even wonder about their children’s poor appetite, despite providing them with tasty, nutritious foods at home.

Moreover, some children suffer from frequent stomach pains, bloating, vomiting after consuming certain foods that contain wheat, proteins, milk, etc. - indicating food sensitivity.
