Innocent Love

          A 6 yr old boy was in the market with his 4 yr old sister. Suddenly the boy found that his sister was lagging behind. He stopped and looked back. His sister was standing in front of a toy shop and was watching something with great interest. The boy went back to her and asked, “Do you want something?” The sister pointed at the doll. The boy held her hand and like a responsible elder brother, gave that doll to her. The sister was very very happy… The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matur behaviour of the boy… Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “What is the cost of this Doll, Sir? !” The shopkeeper was a cool man and had experienced the odds of life. So he asked the boy with a lot of love & affection, “Well, What can you pay? The boy took out all the shells that he had collected from sea shore from his pocket and gave them to the shopkeeper.

HealthProblems

 Many people tend to sit in front of their computers for long hours without taking a break. That could lead to numerous health problems, including chronic diseases like obesity, and joint issues especially in the back, neck, spine which affects overall strength. Blame it on the pandemic or otherwise, “leading an inactive lifestyle can lead to poor quality of life, and increased morbidity and mortality rates”.

According to Heart Research Institute (HRI), global recommendations for adults are to take part in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week, as well as muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days per week. Those who do not get the recommended level of regular physical activity are considered ‘inactive’, as they experience a lack of exercise and movement.

As per HRI, the body and its systems – including the heart and cardiovascular system – are built to work more effectively when upright. Inactivity, however, means fewer calories are burnt, making weight gain more likely.

“A sedentary lifestyle can triple your chances of suffering from notorious cardiovascular diseases, obesity, hypertension, hormonal imbalance, a sluggish metabolism, poor blood circulation, colon cancer, inflammation in the body as people tend to spend long hours relaxing, and there is increased screen time, binge eating and immobility. This is when obesity strikes in and furthermore, it can also invite other worrisome health issues such as sleep apnoea, joint pain, and even stroke,” said Dr Rakesh Nair, consultant knee replacement surgeon at Zen Multispeciality Hospital, Chembur.

HealthyEatingTips

 We all need a balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in our diets to sustain a healthy body. You don’t need to eliminate certain categories of food from your diet, but rather select the healthiest options from each category. Protein  gives you the energy to get up and go—and keep going—while also supporting mood and cognitive function. Too much protein can be harmful to people with kidney disease, but the latest research suggests that many of us need more high-quality protein, especially as we age. That doesn’t mean you have to eat more animal products—a variety of plant-based sources of protein each day can ensure your body gets all the essential protein it needs. Fat .
