Know more about all the COVID19 Vaccine-Pfizer (ingredients, side effect and how it work) Part 2
This is my second blog on COVID19 vaccine. In this one, I will give you more information about Pfizer-BioNTech
COVID-19 vaccine
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (Tozinameran or
BNT162b2) is used to protect against COVID-19. This disease is caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
The vaccine is approved for people who are 12 years of age and older. Its
safety and effectiveness in people younger than 12 years of age have not yet
been established.
Health Canada first authorized this vaccine with conditions
on December 9, 2020, under the Interim Order Respecting the Importation, Sale
and Advertising of Drugs for Use in Relation to COVID-19. On May 5, 2021, the
authorization was expanded to include individuals aged 12 to 15.
Find detailed technical information about the
Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, such as the product monograph and our regulatory
decision summary, in the COVID-19 vaccines and treatments regulatory portal.

How it
works
mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein that
will trigger an immune response without using the live virus that causes
COVID-19. Once triggered, our body then makes antibodies. These antibodies help
us fight the infection if the real virus does enter our body in the future.
‘RNA’ stands for ribonucleic acid, which is a molecule that
provides cells with instructions for making proteins. Messenger RNA (mRNA)
vaccines contain the genetic instructions for making the SARS-CoV-2 spike
protein, which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.
When a person is given the vaccine, their cells will read
the genetic instructions like a recipe and produce the spike protein. After the
protein piece is made, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of
them.
The cell then displays the protein piece on its surface.
Our immune system recognizes that the protein doesn’t belong there and begins
building an immune response and making antibodies.
How it
is given
The vaccine is given by an injection (0.3 mL) into the
muscle of the arm. For the vaccine to work best, you need to get 2 doses: a
single dose and then a second dose 21 days later.
Immunity develops over time. It takes about 2 weeks to
develop significant protection against COVID-19. For the greatest protection,
you will need the second dose.
Clinical studies showed that, beginning 1 week after the
second dose, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine was:
95% effective in protecting trial participants aged 16 and
above against COVID-19 and100% effective in participants 12 to 15 years old
Possible
side effects
In general, the side effects observed during the clinical
trials are similar to what you might have with other vaccines.
The side effects that followed vaccine administration in
clinical trials were mild or moderate. They included things like pain at the site
of injection, body chills, feeling tired and feeling feverish.
These are common side effects of vaccines and do not pose a
risk to health.
As with all vaccines, there is a chance that there will be
a serious side effect, but these are rare. A serious side effect might be
something like an allergic reaction. Speak with your health professional about
any serious allergies or other health conditions you may have before you
receive this vaccine.
Health Canada has conducted a rigorous scientific review of
the available medical evidence to assess the safety of the Pfizer-BioNTech
COVID-19 vaccine. No major safety concerns have been identify in the data that
we reviewed.

Strategies to Reduce the Health Risk of Daylight saving time Change (other home safety to do list)
Strategies to reduce the Health Risk of Daylight saving time Change (other home safety to do list)
On Sunday, March 10th, the clocks will be pushed forward one hour, which means everyone will lose an hour of sleep. According to experts, adjusting to the lost hour of sleep in the spring is harder than adjusting to the gained hour of sleep in the fall. With Daylight Savings approaching, some are excited for the start of longer and warmer days, while others are only thinking of the fact that this Sunday, Daylight Savings, they will lose an hour of sleep.
Aside from losing a precious hour of sleep, there are other health problems that seem to come after Daylight Savings Time. A study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, determined that after the Daylight Savings time change, risks of heart attacks actually rise.
Part1-Daylight saving and Health Issues
Many people say that daylight saving time affects their sleeping patterns and body clocks. Drowsiness, headaches and additional stress are among the complaints given by those who feel negatively affected by daylight saving time.
Heart Attack
Researcher found that incidences of heart attacks increased significantly for the first three week days after the transition to daylight saving time in the spring. In contrast, there were fewer incidences of heart attacks after the transition from daylight saving to standard time in the autumn. The study found that the most plausible explanation for the findings is the adverse effect of sleep deprivation on cardiovascular health.
Sleep pattern
Moreover, the study reported that transitions into daylight saving time could disrupt chronobiologic rhythms and influence the duration and quality of sleep, which lasts for many days after the shifts. According to the researchers, the study also provides a possible explanation for heart attacks most commonly occurring on Mondays. This study, titled Shifts to and from Daylight Saving Time and Incidence of Myocardial Infarction, was conducted by Imre Janszky and Rickard Ljungand and was published in The New England Journal of Medicine on October 30, 2008.
Another study, printed in Current Biology in 2007 and titled The Human Circadian Clock's Seasonal Adjustment Is Disrupted by Daylight Saving Time, indicates that the human circadian system does not adjust to daylight saving time and that its seasonal adaptation to the changing photoperiods is disrupted by the introduction of summer time. This disruption may extend to other aspects of seasonal biology in humans.
Mental health/suicides
Two studies give a different light to the impact of daylight saving time on the human condition, particularly regarding mental health. Both studies were published in 2008. One study linked daylight saving time with suicide rates, while the other study found that it had no effect on manic episodes.
The first study, titled Small shifts in diurnal rhythms are associated with an increase in suicide: The effect of daylight saving, used Australian suicide data from 1971 to 2001 to determine the impact on the number of suicides of a one-hour time shift due to daylight saving. The results confirm that male suicide rates rise in the weeks following the commencement of daylight saving compared to the weeks following the return to Eastern Standard Time (EST) and for the rest of the year. After adjusting for the season, prior to 1986 suicide rates in the weeks following the end of daylight saving remained significantly increased compared to the rest of autumn. This study suggests that small changes in Chrono biological rhythms are potentially destabilizing in vulnerable individuals.
Manic episodes
The other study, called Daylight saving time transitions and hospital treatments due to accidents or manic episodes, found that transitions into or out of daylight saving time had no significant effect on the incidence of accidents or manic episodes. The study explored transitions in and out of daylight saving time and its effect on accidents and manic episodes in Finland during 1987 to 2003.
Part 2-What are Health Solutions?
1. Brisk walk
Exercise in form of a brisk walk or run can help people adjust to the advanced clocks. Biologist David Glass of Kent State University (cited in ABC News) suggests that a brisk walk or run stimulates the serotonin release in the brain and other types of neurotransmitters that will phase-advance the clock.
2. Exposure to bright natural light
Another suggestion is to gain exposure to bright natural light for an hour or two. According to Harvard University Gazette, people can adjust their daily rhythms by sitting in front of "light boxes", which are banks of fluorescent bulbs that emit two to three times more light than found in a typical room at home. This type of light is bright white light.
3. Low dosage melatonin
Researcher suggest that to take low dosage melatonin supplements to boost melatonin levels, as melatonin regulates cycles of sleep and wakefulness (although it is best to consult with a qualified health care professional on this matter); and to eat earlier – tricking the body to think it is later by eating dinner early (and avoiding caffeine and alcohol) may help to fall asleep sooner.
4. Using medical devices
On another health note, in March 2008 Health Canada reminded people using medical devices or systems with internal clocks to check that they continued to worked properly during the daylight saving switch. Examples of medical devices that could be affected by the change include (but are not limited to): implanted pacemakers/defibrillators with sleep modes that can only be adjusted by physicians; halter monitors, used to continuously record heartbeat; and glucose monitors that store data on glucose levels. Though users of these devices may be inconvenienced by the need to reset equipment timers, there is no safety risk to users of these devices, according to Health Canada.
5. Stick to your normal routine. Go to bed at the same time you normally would, and wake up at the same time.
6. Children should go about their routines normally as well, including eating and nap times.
7. Drive carefully to work Monday morning because your internal clock may be off, even if you feel fine.
8. Expose yourself and your family to sunlight - it encourages energy and makes you feel awake.
All year long, make sure you are getting the adequate amount of sleep, not just during Daylight Savings Time.
Expert says
If you regularly are getting seven to eight hours of sleep, you're likely to have fewer problems adjusting to the time change. However, if you are sleep-deprived already, getting by on just six or seven hours of sleep a night, you'll probably feel more fatigued than usual on Sunday morning.
Part 3-Home safety to do list- SPRING FORWARD
The weekend most Canadians spring forward one hour is also the ideal time to tackle seasonal safety projects. A lot of the routine maintenance on your home and car should be done twice a year, so what better times to start checking items off your "to-do" list?
AROUND THE HOUSE
• Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and test both devices to make sure they are in working order. Tip: Don't toss the batteries; there may still be juice in them. They can be used in children's toys, media players or electronic devices. Squeeze out every drop of power, then recycle them.
• Clean gutters and downspouts to remove debris that may have accumulated during the winter. If clogged, spring showers can wreak havoc and possibly cause leaks.
• Hopefully you'll soon be using your BBQ. Check the tank and hose for leaks or cracks and replace if necessary. Don't forget to fill the tank up while you're at it because you never know when the weather might be ideal for the first BBQ of the season!
• Go through your medicine cabinet for expired medication. Your pharmacist should be able to either take your old medications or provide you with information about where to dispose of them.
• Inventory your home's first aid kit and replace items that are expired, or replenish items like bandages that may be running low.
• Switch your incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). Although initially more expensive, CFLs save you money in the long run because they use 75% less electricity and can last up to 10 times longer.
IN YOUR CAR
• Do not remove your car safety kit! Keep it in your car for the whole year. You never know when you might need that flashlight or those jumper cables.
• Change your wiper blades. They should be replaced every six months.
• A change of season equals a change of oil. This will help to ensure your car operates at peak efficiency.
• Your car's belts and hoses have dealt with extreme cold, snow, salt and sand in the last few months. Get them checked to make sure everything is connected properly and running smoothly.
• If you change your tires seasonally, you'll want to soon consider putting your summer tires on. A good rule of thumb is to put your summer tires on when the temperature is consistently above 7°C. Reside in Quebec? Don't switch your tires until after March 15th; otherwise you could face fines ranging from $200 to $300.
• If you don't change your tires seasonally, check your tire pressure and treads. If your tire pressure is off you'll notice irregular and uneven wear on your treads, reduced vehicle handling or decreased gas mileage.

One more cool idea to which Leads to more Love in your life
First of all I want to wish you all a happy valentine day. This is my 5th blog on Valentine. I hope you have enjoyed all other blogs. In this one you will how a exercising with your Valentine leads to more Love in your life.
If you’re not comfortable with talking to loved ones about the touchy subjects of health and weight loss, you can still help them lead healthier lives by practicing “random acts of fitness.” There are dozens of small things you can do every day to make healthy living as easy as possible. Sometimes, you end up helping create good habits without them even realizing it. And in the true spirit of being a positive force, when you give your time and energy with any of these random acts, you get just as much in return. With these workout ideas for couples, you and your partner can spend quality time together while you stay on track to reaching your goals.
The two of you may be at different fitness levels and have different goals, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t exercise together. There are plenty of reasons to give it a try:
Couples spend most of their time apart due to careers and other responsibilities. Instead of hitting the gym alone, plan a workout time that fits both of your schedules. You’ll reach your fitness goals, without sacrificing that one-on-one time that every partnership needs.
Exercise produces chemicals in the brain that evoke feelings of happiness, reduce stress, and also increase arousal and libido. Several studies show that men and women who exercise regularly report better (and more frequent) sex with their partners
With someone else watching your form and being there to spot you when you need it, you’ll exercise more safely than if you were alone. Besides, who cares more about your safety than your soulmate?
Add exercise to your list of shared interests and hobbies. The possibility for new, unique activities is endless and keeps things exciting. You can never have too much in common.
Getting encouragement and praise from your partner is one of the best motivators. It’ll help both of you remain consistent and take care of one another.
.
Taking care of your body and your health shows the person you care about that you want to be your best for them—and that you want to be around for years to come.
In many couples, one partner tends to favor cardio (typically women) while the other tends to favor strength training (typically men). By working out together you can balance your workout program to include more of both. Let your partner teach you about the areas of fitness you’re unsure of and be open to new fitness experiences.
