Overweight and knees

As people gain weight and reach overweight and obese levels, the load placed on the joints such as the knee also increases, which increases stress and could possibly hasten the breakdown of cartilage that cushions the joints more quickly.

"For every pound of body weight you gain, your knees gain three pounds of added stress; for hips, each pound translates into six times the pressure on the joints," an article on the Arthritis Today concurs.

Easing the pressure on joints by shedding extra pounds can also reduce pain in osteoarthritis-affected joints, which will help you feel and move much better.
Control your weight: lose one pound, and that’s four pounds of pressure off each knee….

Come on.......get going......................

Teenagers and junk

Teenagers and junk

1.Are you a good role model
Parents you need to introspect how are you performing are you in ideal role models are you the one who wants to eat junk at least once a day or week so you tend to go out, or oder food... I see most of the parents doing that.... So improve on your habits. ...remember did our parents practice this....

2 It is always good to start young....your efforts are less at this age then.

 3. Try to keep junk food out of Sight if you do not store junk food at home it is not easily accessible and I hope you are not giving the money to them to go out and buy it if you do, especially when you are not at home ....there you are initiating the thing.... Make arrangements them to eat healthy

4.Understand their bodies are undergoing a lot of change lot of hormonal ups and downs are taking place in their body so they may crave at times for some kind of junk food your duty is to sit with them explain them in a proper tone don't be rude don't try to scold them, don't judge them, try to make them understand as to if they eat junk at this time what can happen to them later and fix days -times when you will allow them to eat junk, make junk with a healthy twist at home.

5.Also moderation is the key, which is forgotten....even if they eat junk portion size matters..   If you are getting 25% extra burger.... At the same price... Think does your stomach have extra 25% capacity to digest that....

6.Take the help of your teenager's when you are designing your menus sit with them ask them what could be prepared as I always say meal planning is essential so sit with your teenager's ask them what they like and how it can be prepared take their help in wall them in kitchen

let your children help you when you meal plan, shop and cook meals.  This gives you lots of opportunity to discuss why certain foods are good for you and why others are not!

7.Peer pressure to eat junk food is rampant, and in fact much marketing of snack food is aimed right at this vulnerable age group.

Besides poor food choice, another problem for teenagers (particularly girls) is skipping meals and dieting.  Pressure to be thin (most models these days are dangerously underweight) and self-consciousness about their changing bodies drive many girls in this age group to dangerous diets.

See to eat that your teenager always has breakfast, does not skip meals and is well hydrated ....at times thirst is misunderstood For hunger.

8.Physical activity or cycling dancing... Or walking to school or classes is very important.... Which is generally lacking.

Don't take good health for granted

Don't take good health for granted

No one wants to be sick. But tell me very frankly when do we start to take notice and some action about our health, only after we fall sick or are in the process of losing our health. During this time, we make all sorts of promises and resolutions. But once we get it back, we often return to our old ways. Isn't this true??

Good health is one of those things that is usually taken for granted. Chronic, degenerative conditions usually takes years, even decades, to develop, nothing develops overnight.

For example, heart attack or a tumor on your body, do you think it developed overnight? No way. It took a long time to get to a size where it becomes visible. All your hardwork of abusing your body in the form of unhealthy lifestyle, stress, junk eating, toxic buildup, weakened immune system which had probably been around for years too showed it's effect. Do realize that, once a disease takes root, the decline usually starts gaining momentum.

Be positive don't binge

Be positive don't binge

 
Keep yourself in a positive frame of mind: Most of us tend to binge when we’re upset with something or have had a tiff with our spouse or a friend. Make it a point to not eat when upset as you will definitely eat more than you intended.

Our lifestyle

#Healthylifestyleawarenessmonth
Our lifestyle
Today, many children and even adults spend a lot of time being inactive and simultaneously overeating. “An average child spends about 2-3 hours a day with television, the internet, mobile phones or video games during which they often snack on fast food and gulp down a lot of sugary soft drinks, all of which can add up huge calories.”

However it is not junk food alone that is making them obese—it is the junk lifestyle we provide them.

With this kind of lifestyle……eating junk, no activity, smoking, drinking…where are we heading…..

Hey guys please give this a thought………

Eat Dinner at least two hours before bedtime

Eat Dinner at least two hours before bedtime

It is generally advised to stop eating two hours before bedtime as our body’s metabolism dips and it is preparing for sleep(rest). Furthermore, lying down to go to sleep after eating a late dinner or midnight snack makes it impossible for gravity to hold food and liquids in place so stomach acids can do their job.

Also lack of activity after dinner makes it difficult for the body to digest food, some researchers believe going to bed with a full stomach causes the food to turn to fat.

Regardless of which theory is correct, the bottom line is that eating before bed interferes with getting a good night's sleep.

So, however  healthy dinner you eat it does not serve its purpose.

Importance of Folic Acid during Pregnancy

Pregnancy Awareness Week –
12th feb to 16th feb 2018

The Importance of Folic Acid during Pregnancy

All nutrients are essential in preparing for pregnancy, but folate or folic acid merits special consideration.

Soon after conception, folate helps develop the baby’s neural tube, which becomes the spinal cord and brain. Women who consume enough folate, particularly in the weeks prior to conception and during the first six weeks of pregnancy, may reduce their babies’ risks of neural tube defects.

Eat a variety of foods rich in folate, such as citrus fruits and juices, dark-green leafy vegetables, beans and nuts. And women of childbearing age should consume 400 micrograms of folic acid (600 micrograms if pregnant) from fortified foods in grains, such as breads, cereals or pastas, vitamin supplements or both, in addition to the folate found naturally in other foods.
