An excerpt from the article 'A glimpse of HIV Statistics'
Started in 1981 and get widespread in whole world, number of AIDS patients increased tremendously in these years. From onset of this disease data was collected, at some point when it's of utmost importance to see this epidemic.
HIV patient numbers reported in December 2005:● Globally 40.3 million people were living with HIV/aids● New infections - 4.9 million.● Deaths due to HIV/AIDS - 3.1 million.
HIV patient numbers reported in 2018:● Globally 37.9 million people with HIV are there. Among 37.9 m, 36.2 m are adults and 1.7 m are children < 15 years of age.● Worldwide, 1.7 m people are there who newly get infected with HIV, but they are not diagnosed as such and hence are unaware that they have HIV.● Death due to HIV/AIDS - 0.77 million.
(Source: Data taken from UNAIDS/WHO)
This decline in the numbers was possible because of the following reasons:
1) Realization of the penetration of this epidemic at global level facilitating active research work towards development of a possible treatment.2) Spread of awareness among health professionals, research scientists, and policy makers that reached even common men, led to the understanding of the actual causes of this disease and how one can protect themselves.3) Precautionary measures have been the top priority of everyone.4) Improved measures in healthcare.5) Therapies (HART) and diagnosis became more accessible to people.

Why is it difficult to sleep when you are hungry?
Why is it difficult to sleep when you are hungry?
It's difficult to sleep when you're hungryWhen your stomach turn into a brick,And your eyes closesSlowly,Your brain just stop working,Till it reminds youthat you are hungry.All the voices says,A plate is there still there"Full of pizza and samosa"The voices says,"Nothing eaten all the day"And your eyes close,But they never let you sleepAll becauseIt's difficult to sleep when you're Hungry!

An excerpt from the story "Science will answer'
The tale was about siblings who always kept on arguing and opposing each other. The little brother loved watching his favourite cartoon show on TV whereas his elder sister was a nerd and believed that they've already spent quite a lot of time on TV and should most probably study now. Their mother always favoured his little son. No doubt parents favour their youngest child more. She agreed on watching TV and also brought their favourite chocolate cupcakes to munch upon.
Okay, now let's relate this story to the science it beholds.
Here Watching TV is related to feeding our body with food. The little brother is our hormone ghrelin. Ghrelin is a hormone secreted by the digestive system when there is little food in the stomach. It tells the brain to make the person hungry.
The sister is the hormone, leptin. Leptin says the body has plenty of energy in reserves and the brain should produce the feeling of fullness.
The mother is our neurotransmitter, orexin. Orexin keeps us awake and stimulates the hunting instinct or food gathering capability in us.Leptin and ghrelin are part of the body’s weight homeostasis mechanism. Ghrelin and leptin regulate the body’s energy balance, making the brain feel hungry or full.
When we run short of sleep, blood levels of leptin drop. Sleep deprivation also increases levels of the hormone ghrelin, which is known to stimulate the appetite. Sleep homeostasis and weight homeostasis thus interact.
He also told her about the complications it can have on her body. He ended his tale by some beautiful words of wisdom, " Not everyone is perfect and that is the beauty of imperfection. If everyone around us has a perfect nose, a perfect body or perfect hair, what makes their individuality stand out? Body confidence does not come from trying to achieve the perfect body, it comes from embracing the one you've already got!"

You and I (Parody)
I figured it out,I figured it out from black and white.Using the net,That's why it had to take some time.
I know some hormones,Like Ghrelin that increases hunger.Whereas leptin, with Insulin supresses our apetite.Did you even know or no??
You and I,Know that we can't sleep on diet,And I'll tell you the reason why,'cause no-one has ever told this toYou and IBut when Insulin entera the brain,It tells our brain to take some rest,But this doesn't happen when we Sleep on diet,Oh..... Sleep on diet
When stomach empties,Amount of Ghrelin increases.Alerts our brain,Makes it difficult to sleep,Metabolism.... Reduces andMuscle mass....breaksdownYour insomnia worsens, you know..
Do you even know or no??You and I,Know that we can't sleep on diet,And I'll tell you the reason why,'cause no-one has eber told this to You and IBut when Insulin enters our brain,It tells our brain to take some rest....
You and IKnow that we can't sleep on diet,And I'll tell you the reason why,'cause no-one has eber told this to You and IBut when Insulin enters our brain,It tells our brain to take some restBut this doesn't happen when weSleep on diet...Oh... You and I.
