Tips To Get Rid of Under Eye Wrinkles
Other than the quick remedies to get rid of under-eye wrinkles, these tips will ensure that wrinkles are kept at bay.
1. A Healthy Diet
A healthy diet is the key to longevity and good looks. Maintaining a balanced diet is the best way to ensure your body gets all the necessary nutrients. Consume lots of fruits and vegetables, especially fruits rich in Vitamin C. Plenty of protein is also needed for the growth and maintenance of skin tissue. Eat lean meats, fish and eggs for good protein.
2. Eye Exercises
Sit down, relax and close your eyes for 2 minutes. Open your eyes and move your eyeballs in a clockwise direction 5 times. Change direction and move them in an anti-clockwise direction 5 times.
Using the first two fingers of your hands, gently massage the eye muscles close to the temple on each side. Simultaneously, open and close the eyes quickly while counting to 10.
Settle down, relax and close your eyes. Without consciously opening your eyes, use your fingers to open and close both the upper and lower eyelids simultaneously as far as possible. Hold for 5 seconds and release. Repeat 5- 8 times.
3. Get Plenty of Sleep and Stay Hydrated
Getting an ample amount of sleep every day is a good way to avoid under eye wrinkles. Sleeping 7-8 hours a day ensures the eyes are properly rested and not strained. Hydration is key to keep the skin soft and elastic and avoid wrinkles. Have a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day to ensure there’s enough water in the body.
4. Avoid Too Much Sun and Air Pollution
Avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight and pollutants in the air. Both speed up the ageing process.
5. Quit Smoking
Quit smoking. Harmful chemicals in cigarettes can destroy collagen.
6. Pro-Collagen Creams
Pro-collagen creams are one of the most effective treatments for under eye wrinkles. The skin of babies is packed full of healthy collagen and hence their softness. As we get older, the rate and quality at which the skin produces collagen decreases. This occurs naturally with the ageing process but lifestyle factors are also a major contributor, for example, smoking and exposure to UV radiation can destroy collagen, leading to the formation of wrinkles. The labels of many anti-ageing creams have collagen mentioned on them for this reason. Although collagen cannot be directly absorbed into the skin due to its large molecular structure, pro-collagen creams keep the skin moisturised and enhance the rate at which natural collagen is produced. They take a while to show results but do make a significant difference.
Although ageing is a factor that is not under your control, living a healthy lifestyle with ample rest and nutrition can remove most of the causes of under eye wrinkles. Regularly using the remedies mentioned above should keep most of your wrinkles at bay.

How to Get a Birth Certificate for a Newborn Baby in India
If you are an Indian and are expecting a child soon, it is always important to know the procedure for getting a birth certificate for your baby. An official birth certificate will establish your baby’s date of birth and is usually needed for things like admission into schools, applying for a passport, and so on. Those children without a birth certificate run the risk of being denied the right to a name, official identity, and a nationality. Applying for a birth certificate right after your child is born is relatively simple, but may get complicated if you delay it. Let’s discuss some details that can help you easily register for a birth certificate for your little one.
Why is a Birth Certificate Important?
The birth certificate is very important for a child’s admission to schools or colleges, hospital benefits and in establishing inheritance and property claims. It is the first right of a child and establishes his or her identity. It becomes important for the following processes:
Establishing the age for insurance reasons
Proving parentage
Age proof for employment
Age proof for marriage
Admission to schools/colleges
Establishing age for enrolling in Electoral Rolls
Registering in NPR (National Population Register)
Application for a passport
Immigration requirements (like getting a green card)
Documents Required for a Birth Certificate
There are several must-have documents needed for you to apply for a birth certificate for your child. They include:
You and your husband’s (the parents') birth certificates
Proof of birth letter issued by the hospital where the birth took place
Identity proof of both parents (for verification purposes)
Marriage certificate of the parents
Who Can Register a Child’s Birth
There are many rules as to who can register the birth of a child, which include –
When the birth has happened in a house – The oldest person in the family, head of the house or closest relative to the baby.
When the birth has happened in a moving vehicle – The person in charge of the said vehicle
When the birth has happened in a boarding house or Dharamshala – The person in charge of the boarding house
If the baby is found abandoned in a public place – The local police in-charge or the village headman.
When the birth has happened in jail – The person in charge of the jail.
When the birth has happened in a nursing or maternity home – The medical officer in charge of the home
When the birth has happened at a Medical College Hospital/Sub-Division Hospital/Referral Hospital – The deputy superintendent who is in charge of the hospital or the officer in charge of the referral hospital.
What is the Fee for Birth Certificate Registration?
The registration fee for a birth certificate is 20 INR with a late fee added if you are applying after 21 days of the child’s birth.
Who Will Issue a Birth Certificate for Your Child and Where?
In India, under the rule of Section 7 of the RBD Act, there is a Registrar deployed by the Government in each local Municipal Corporation called the Nagar Nigam. If it is a smaller region or district, usually a local authority or the Panchayat would be given this responsibility. The rule of Section 7 (5) of the Act directs to appoint a Sub-registrar as well, who would enjoy the same rights and power as the Registrar. This is who mainly can issue your child’s birth certificate.
1. For Rural Regions
The Panchayat secretaries can issue the birth certificate. This is done in 3 Union Territories (Daman and Diu, Goa and Puducherry) and 15 States (Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli, Maharashtra, Tripura, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand.
Para-Medical Staff Officer or Medical In-charge or equivalent can issue a birth certificate in Haryana, Assam, Meghalaya, Orissa, Manipur, Sikkim, Punjab, Andaman and the Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, and Delhi.
Village Level Workers or Circle Officers in Arunachal Pradesh and school teachers in Nagaland and Mizoram have the authority the issue a birth certificate.
Police officers in Jammu and Kashmir and Chandigarh also have the authority.
Village accountants or administrative officers in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka can do the same.
2. For Urban Regions
In urban cities, the Registrar or Sub-registrar of the Municipal Corporation or the appointed Health Officer or the Para-Medical Staff In-Charge has the power to issue a birth certificate.
When Will You Get Free Birth Proof?
If you apply for a birth certificate within 21 days of your child being born, you can get any one of the authorities mentioned above to sign your birth certificate application. If you are past the deadline of 21 days, you will have to pay a certain late fee, which varies according to place and time.
How to Apply for a Birth Certificate in India
As the Indian Government has now majorly made a foray into the digital space, obtaining a birth certificate using the old way might be very slow. Now, a few urban cities have a handy online registration tool to apply for a birth certificate. You can go online and check whether your city or town falls into that category.
1. Online Registration Process
Below is the birth certificate process in India through an online website:
Visit the website crsorgi.gov.in
Look on the left where you will find a Sign-Up button
To register, click on the sign up for ‘General Public.’
The Signup box will appear as a pop-up. Fill all your valid details in this box, like username, user ID, district or town/village, your mobile number, place of birth and so on.
If the field of the Registration Unit shows the username and is active, it means that your area is valid for online registration.
Enter the verification code and click on the Register tab.
After registration, a Thank You message will pop up along with a prompt to check your email ID to confirm the registration.
Check your email inbox. It will tell you to set up a new password to login.
Set it, and sign in once again.
A form will pop up to fill in the name of your child, his or her parents, and the location of the birth.
Fill it and submit within 24 hours.
Take a print out and download a soft copy on your computer
Visit the office of the Registrar of your region
Get the form attested either by him or the Sub-Registrar
2. Offline Registration Process
To register a birth certificate in India through an offline process, below are the steps on how to issue a birth certificate from municipal authorities:
Get a birth certificate registration form by visiting your municipal corporation office.
Submit the letter that was given by the hospital at the time of your baby’s birth by the medical in-charge.
Now you will have to fill the form within 21 days of your baby’s birth
Post that, the office will verify details such as place and time of birth, parents name, gender, address, nursing home/hospital etc.
If the verification is all in place, you will get the birth certificate sent to your address after 7-15 days.
Just to be sure, follow up with the office after 7 days.
If there is any urgency, you can, in some cases, get the birth certificate sent to you within a week by providing a self-addressed envelope.
In case your baby’s birth is not registered within 21 days, police verification will take place in order to issue it, directed by the revenue authorities. This usually tends to take a longer time, and, hence, you should register for your baby’s birth certificate as soon as your little one is born.
How Long Does it Take to Get the Birth Certification Once You Register?
It will usually take between 7 days to 3 weeks to get the birth certificate after it is duly processed. If you opt to do it offline, it may be a long process. However, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) usually prefer this way, as the passport office accepts the proof given by the Municipal Corporation.
An important question is what will happen if someone does not have a birth certificate. The answer is that he or she will not be recognised as an Indian citizen and hence will not be able to avail the rights and benefits. They will not be able to get a passport or admission into schools. A birth certificate is a stamp of your existence on this earth and hence is extremely essential to every human being. So parents, always get your child’s birth certificate done as soon as possible – within 21 days of the birth to avoid complications, late fees or tedious processes.

Hand Sanitizers and your Baby: Safe or Dangerous?
Hand sanitizers have become a popular alternative for keeping hands clean when there's no water and soap. And why not? All you have to do is just squeeze a little out, rub it on your hands and you're good to go. But do hand sanitizers and babies mix?
Hand sanitizers claim to keep your hands 99.9 percent bacteria-free. However, while killing germs, they may also bring in some health issues if you make the wrong product choices. This is why you need to make an informed decision as a mom.
Think Before Buying Hand Sanitizers for Babies
1. Do Hand Sanitizers Contain Alcohol?
Yes. Most hand sanitizers contain 60 percent or higher alcohol content to make effective germ-killers. While most of the alcohol evaporates when rubbed on the hands, some is absorbed through the skin and gets into the bloodstream. Even if you use it and your toddler doesn’t, he can ingest it if he licks your hands or puts your fingers in his mouth. You can work around this by using only alcohol-free sanitizers for your children.
2. Can Hand Sanitizers Weaken Your Child's Immunity?
While an ultra-clean environment seems a sound option for your baby, it doesn’t exercise his immune system at all. Even though your child gets some immunity from breast milk in case you are breastfeeding, you need to encourage his immunity to build up further. This can only happen with some exposure to environmental pathogens. Our advice would be to use sanitizers in moderation.
3. Can They Cause Allergies?
No, sanitizers haven't been linked to allergies in children. However, since babies put almost everything into their mouths, you don’t want them inadvertently ingesting trace amounts of chemicals and alcohol. It is always a good idea to opt for organic and natural sanitizers that are free from harmful ingredients.
4. Keep the Sweet Smell in Check
Some sanitizers may have ingredients/chemicals that trigger asthma in kids. Consult with your paediatrician if it is okay for your child to use sanitizers in this case.
5. Pick a Fragrance-free Sanitizer
Hand sanitizers may work when there’s no access to soap and water. But using one every day to clean hands and toys is not safe. It's also unnecessary to use a hand sanitizer every time your baby comes in contact with dust. On those rare times when you do have to use it, go for a fragrance-free sanitizer so your little one isn’t tempted to lick it.
Don't be a germ-freak mom. Yes, keeping surroundings clean is important. Just remember to use sanitizers in moderation; they are very effective in germ killing if used discriminately. Remember, your baby needs to be exposed to some things to make his immunity stronger. Read more

Are You Pregnant? Here's What You Should Know About Your Oral Health During Pregnancy
Pregnancy itself does not cause any inflammation of the gums or gingiva. However, for some pregnant women with already inflamed gums, along with the presence of local factors like plaque and calculus, it definitely can deteriorate their dental condition.
Studies have shown that pregnancy does not alter healthy gums, but in some cases, acute inflammation of gums occurs, which is accompanied by an increase in steroid hormones in the crevicular fluid.
Changes that occur in the gums during pregnancy are generally painless unless any acute inflammation occurs. Inflammation during the whole term of pregnancy occurs during two peaks.
During the first trimester, when there is an overproduction of gonadotropins.
During the third trimester, when oestrogen and progesterone levels are at their highest.
During this period, the gums become more inflamed and red. Bleeding while brushing or eating is also a striking feature during this period. Dryness of the mouth and bad odour are frequent complaints faced.
The main reason for inflammation in gums is basically hormonal changes, and also because the maternal immune system is thought to be suppressed during pregnancy. So after delivery, inflammation gradually decreases on its own.
Care to Be Taken During Pregnancy
Before proceeding towards any dental treatment, consent from your gynaecologist is very important.
The second trimester is considered the safest period for seeking any routine dental treatment.
It is better to avoid any elective dental care in the first and third trimester because the first trimester is the period of organogenesis, when the foetus is highly susceptible to environmental influences, whereas, in the last half of the third trimester, the risk of premature delivery exists as the uterus is very sensitive to external stimuli.
Adequate oral hygiene measures and scaling reduces the intensity of inflammation. Scaling can be performed whenever required.
Avoid being exposed to any radiation during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester.
Avoid the use of mouthwash with alcoholic content during your pregnancy.
Have a safe and happy pregnancy!

A. I think it would be advisable for you to get an ultrasound done with your doctor that’s going to give you a clarity because if there is a pregnancy it would be visible at least at least that sack is visible if it’s a regular pregnancy so it would be advisable to have a test with your doctor
