Calorie Counting
Calories are a measure of the amount of energy in food. If we know how many calories are there in our food, we can help balance the energy we put into our bodies with the energy we use. And that’s the key to a healthy weight.

When Birth Control Goes Wrong
The prevalence of birth control products in Bangladesh especially among the upper classes might be considered to be a positive change in our overpopulated nation, however the lack of information and the frequent wrong application of such products is startling and terrifying. As a medical student, I often face strange cases in the emergency room. The worst kind is when young women come to the ER with incomplete abortions or who are so severely ill that their ill informed decision can mean a lifetime of suffering.
