The current dominant model of sickness employed in most Western hospital environments is the scientific theory of healthcare, which is based on the idea that health is measured only in terms of the absence of sickness. When contrasted with social training sets, the biological paradigm is often linked with worse results and higher health inequalities. Hippocrates, the "greek physician, " advocated for physiological symptoms suggestive of sickness. Hence a version of the biological paradigm already existed before 300 BC. Nevertheless, in the Modern Science of the 1700s, this concept became the standard understanding of health. This paradigm is sometimes criticized ... Read More

An interdisciplinary subject, "bio-behavioral variables in health, " focuses on integrating lifestyle choices, psychological functioning, and biomedical science to improve illness prevention, treatment, and mechanistic comprehension. Across a wide range of health conditions, including cardiometabolic diseases, cancer, chronic pain, insomnia, pulmonary disease, sleep apnea, solid organ transplantation, cardiothoracic surgery, and among older adults with cognitive impairment, changes in lifestyle behaviors and health habits can improve quality of life, mitigate disease progression, and reduce symptom burden.

In this stressful world, people’s mental and physical health are highly vulnerable; a small failure, dispute in a relationship, or any sort of dissatisfaction leads to anxiety and stress. And, if such anxiety and stress are not addressed properly, it may lead to serious mental disorders. One of the major reasons for such health-related vulnerability is "low health awareness or literacy." Because of not having proper knowledge of well-being, people keep committing mistakes. Health literacy is a specific skill, strategically defined to locate, comprehend, convey, and apply knowledge in humans' everyday behaviors and helps to improve and maintain health. But ...

When a person visits a hospital or a physician, it’s usually for physical symptoms. During an examination, a physician realizes that some of the problems are predominantly physical in nature and can be treated after proper diagnosis. But in certain cases, a patient's suffering is not limited to physical symptoms only; along with that, his behavior and state of mind are also very important if he wants to cure that patient. These kinds of diseases help us establish the role of mind-body connection in a more concrete manner. Later, we will study how mind-body connection plays a vital role in ... Read More
