HOW TO KEEP YOUR CHILDREN HEALTHY- FEW TIPS

How To Keep your Children Healthy – Few Tips

It is practically inevitable to keep children away from cold, cough and some little health problems. Here are some tips that you can try teaching your kids to keep them as healthy as possible.

1) Washing hands: Tell your kids to wash hands to fight BAC (fight bacteria!). Tell kids to wash hands –

  • With soap and warm water.
  • Before eating a snack or meal, after playing with pets, and after using the bathroom.
  • After playing or at friend’s house
  • After coming back from school
  • Before and after your breakfast, lunch and supper or dinner at home
    Hands before lunch at school.

Do not forget to ask your toddler’s baby sitter or day care person about hand wash policy.

2) Day care policy:

  • Check with day care about how they take care of sick kids and policy regarding sick kids
  • It is a requirement that kids who are suffering from eye infections, fever/flu, vomiting, diarrhea and severe cold should be home

3) Get flu shot or vaccination:

Be up to date on the vaccination of your toddler and young ones. It helps their immune system to fight back any germs, viruses and bacteria.

4) Good amount of sleep:

Make sure your kids get good amount of sleep. They should go to bed early. Babies and toddlers need 11 to 14 hours sleep. This helps their immune system to recover and brain will be rested.

5) Being active:

Regular exercise and outdoor activities with moderate exercise helps children to fight germs -this is what study shows. Do not introduce kids to video games at early stage. Breathing fresh air and exposing to sun light and outdoor activities helps them to be prepared for future allergies that their body might have to fight.

6) Drinking water:

Instead of soda and diet soda, give your kids good amount of drinking water – warm or room temperature. This cleanses their system and flushes any unwanted germs from the body. Children also loosed their body liquid very fast. Make sure to give them plenty of fluid in the form of water or juice to keep their body hydrating.

While most germs like winter viruses clear up on their own within few days, some can turn into more serious conditions that require medical attention. See the prevailing symptoms in your child and see your family doctor or paediatrician.

Vegetables Medu Vada - South Indian Style !

Vegetables Medu Vada – South Indian Style !

Recipe by : Ms. Kalyani Kutagolla

Looking for good recipe for this Deepavali (Diwali) ? Then, here is one tasty Medu (soft) vada recipe easy to make. This is kids friendly, as it requires vegetables and less spice. Try this recipe this Diwali day!

Ingredients:

  • Urd daal (split black gram) (1 cup)
  • White rice (1/4 cup)
  • Coconut pieces (1/4 cup)
  • Grated carrot (1/4 cup)
  • Green peas (1/4 cup)
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Green chilies – 4 to 5
  • Cooking soda – A pinch
  • Ginger – 2 inches ginger
  • Chopped coriander -1/4 cup
  • Curry leaves – 1 or 2 strings
  • Cut onions – 1/2 cup
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

* One can make 16 vadas from this suggested quantity

Preparation Method:

  1. Soak urd daal and rice for 3 hours.
  2. Coarse grind with less water (1/4 cup) – to get soft vadas grind the batter with just enough water to make soft but not watery dough. When you put the batter on your palm, batter should hold its shape.
  3. Add all ingredients – vegetables, curry leaves, coriander, salt, cumin, black pepper, coconut piece and start frying vadas.
  4. Do not ferment the dough as fermented dough takes more oil. Instead, after adding all the ingredients to dough fry the vadas.
  5. In a deep pan heat oil to medium high heat. (If oil is too hot vadas will turn brown soon but inside content will not cook).
  6. Grease a plastic sheet with oil. Take a bowl of water wet your hands and place a portion of dough over your palm. Make a hole in centre and flatten it to round shape. Then drop it slowly in heated oil, deep fry until vada turns to golden brown color on both sides.
  7. Place them over paper towel to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve hot vadas with coconut chutney.

*This vegetable medu vada can be a good appetizer too – decorate on dining table as it is shown in the image!

Tattoo Safety

Tattoo Safety

The word tattoo, or tattow in the 18th century, is a loanword from the Polynesian word tatau, meaning “correct, workmanlike”.

There are varieties of tattoos depending on the art- Black and Gray Tattoos, Color Tattoos, Portrait and Fine-line Tattoo, Tribal Tattoos, Freehand Custom Tattoos, Cover-up, Touch-up, and Rework Tattoos. Tattoo artists and parlors across the country follow a strict set of regulations in order to prevent infections and transmissions of diseases, such as HIV and hepatitis. Leger, however, believes that the tattoo inks artists use are not closely monitored. Tattoos can be allergic to many.

“During 2003 and 2004, FDA became aware of more than 150 reports of adverse reactions in consumers to certain permanent makeup ink shades, and it is possible that the actual number of women affected was greater. The inks associated with this outbreak were voluntarily recalled by the company that marketed them in 2004. In the spring of 2012, FDA received reports of infections from contaminated inks, resulting in their recall and market withdrawal. In addition, concerns raised by the scientific community regarding the pigments used in tattoo inks have prompted FDA to investigate their safe use”.

Tattoo pigments & colors: The oldest pigments came from using ground up minerals and carbon black. Today’s pigments include the original mineral pigments, modern industrial organic pigments, a few vegetable-based pigments, and some plastic-based pigments. Allergic reactions, scarring, photo toxic reactions  and other adverse effects are possible with many pigments. The plastic-based pigments are very intensely colored, but many people have reported reactions to them. There are also pigments that glow in the dark or in response to black (ultraviolet) light. These pigments are notoriously risky – some may be safe, but others are radioactive or otherwise toxic.

Following are some reactions that can happen to people by tattoo.

Symptoms:

  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Flaking
  • Scaly appearance
  • Rash or bumps
  • Purple or red nodules around the tattoo

Reactions:

Acute Inflammatory Reaction: Most people who get a tattoo experience an acute inflammatory allergic reaction. This is when the skin becomes red, irritated and mildly swollen after coming into contact with the tattoo needle and the ink. This is not a serious allergy and will often subside after two to three weeks.

Dermatitis: Tattoos are also known to cause allergic and photo allergic contact dermatitis. Similar to an acute allergic reaction, dermatitis often starts out as an irritation and swelling of the skin, followed by severe itchiness. The allergies then develop into blisters and crusting or flaking of the skin. Dermatitis is often caused by red tattoo ink because it contains mercury sulfide.

Photo sensitivity: Tattoos created using yellow ink sometimes get irritated when exposed to direct sunlight. This is because of the cadmium sulfide used in most yellow and some red tattoo inks.

Granulomas: These are nodules that may form around material that the body perceives as foreign, such as particles of tattoo pigment that contains red, green, purple and blue inks.

Other severe reactions from tattooing:

  1. Allergic reactions: Red dye in particular can cause allergic skin reactions resulting in itchy rashes even years after getting a tattoo. It is true that some red inks used for permanent tattoos contain mercury, while other reds may contain different heavy metals like cadmium or iron oxide.
  2. Skin infections: Tattooing can lead to local bacterial infections characterized by redness, swelling, pain and a pus-like drainage.
  3. Blood-borne diseases: If the equipment used to create a tattoo is contaminated with infected blood, various blood-borne diseases including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV can be contracted. Unsterile tattooing equipment and needles can transmit infectious diseases, such as HIV, hepatitis, and skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (“staph”) and other bacteria
  4. Damage to nerves: There is a possibility of the loss of the sense of touch in the area pierced.
  5. Keloids: Thick scarring at the piercing site can cause keloids, which is nothing but raised scar tissue due to excessive skin damage.

Before getting a tattoo or piercing, make sure to check off the following safety measures:

  • Always find out whether the tattooing studio is trustworthy and has properly trained and certified employees.
  • Make sure the studio and staffs are very clean. If they have body piercing in their business, tattooing and body piercing should be in separate areas.
  • Make sure the studio uses an autoclave to sterilize the instruments.
  • Make sure the artist washes his or her hands and wears a fresh pair of protective gloves for each procedure.
  • Check whether the artist removes needles and tubes from sealed packages before your procedure begins and the needles should be opened from sealed packages and thrown away in a bio hazard container after the use and in front of you.
  • The ink used in tattooing should be taken in a disposable cup and be disposed after use. It should never be taken directly from the bottle or returned to that bottle.

Care for reactions:

Contact your physician immediately if you find any of above symptoms.

  1. If, your tattoo artist has given any instruction follow that carefully.
  2. Stop any bleeding: By putting pressure on the wound.
  3. Apply a cold pack to help reduce the swelling, bruising, or itching. Never apply ice directly to the skin. This can cause tissue damage.
  4. Take an antihistamine, to help treat hives and relieve itching. Be sure to read and follow any warning on the label. Do not use strong soaps, detergents, and other chemicals, which can make itching worse.
  5. Protect your tattoo with a bandage to avoid any further irritation.
  6. Apply an antibiotic ointment to avoid infection.
  7. Apply a clean bandage once a day and change the bandage if it gets wet
  8. Expose tattooed area to good air/ Sun so that the skin will breath fresh air and warm temperature to heal.

SMART PHONES & ONE SIDED RELATIONSHIP

Smartphone & One Sided Relationship

.

“Whether we admit it or not, we’re in a serious relationship with our smartphones. That relationship, however, is often one-sided,” according to Motorola.

Recently a story was going around on Social media. An old man takes his mobile to repair shop and request the person in the shop to look at the phone saying, “why it is not working”? Shopkeeper checks the phone and says, “It is absolutely fine and is working”. Then the old person asks, “Then why I am not able to receive any calls from my children?” This story was about a basic phone. Other day my friend was asking me – can I text you? I said no. She was like – why not? I told her that I prefer talking with you than texting and when I hear your voice, it makes me feel better! We are in the century where we cannot live without smart phones. If a person uses basic mobile phone in public, people look at him/her differently and in addition, many prefer sending text or messages rather calling. This puts pressure on the person and eventually he /she will end up buying a smart phone.

“We compare ourselves to the people around us. Even when we are reasonably happy with what we have, we become unhappy when we see devices, tools or the so-called better life that someone in our social circle has”.

Because of technology, everybody is connecting so fast through text and messages but … talking! Texting is considered efficient and if someone has to say Thank you -they just use TY ! Reason is, there is not time to acknowledge with “long sentences”. That means we are also moving (fast) away from relationships. We do not want to talk to our elders on dinner table, do not want to communicate with the person who is sitting next to us and do not want to see a vehicle that is approaching us while walking ! We have our smart phones in our hand 24/7 all-time and even while in toilet!

What is happening here? Let us see.

A smart phone is a simple little device that is supposed to make life easier. But convenience is not always the shortest route to happiness. It turns out; cell phone might be increasing your anxiety and decreasing your happiness. We all in different occasions talk about how smart phones making us dumb and less connected. This is not a joke anymore. Research shows that (as if we do not know) that little phone may have lasting consequences on our emotional well-being.

Mobile phones can be a source of great disruption in workplaces and classrooms, as they provide individuals with access to texting, games, social media and the Internet. Research conducted on Kent State University students showed that students who are continuously on phone ended in getting lower GPA and are always anxious and unhappy. Cell phone addiction is such that, recently in New Jersey, USA a student beat up a senior teacher because the teacher tried to take the phone away from the student during class hours! There are several reports showing how smart phone usage can cost your life. People forget to switch off the phone during meeting or during important discussion with boss or continuous browsing on phone while at work. This kind of behavior can cost you your job before you notice.

Talk about relationships – there are many stories about increasing divorce and breakups. While it helps to track and understand what your kids are doing, smart phone also makes kids move away from the parents. You will notice change in kid’s behavior once they get smart phones. They will not receive phone calls, always browsing, taking endless selfie, eating less, no interest in outdoor sports or not ready to take any advice as they have online advisors namely friends! Similarly, relationship between couples will suffer too due to less and less interactions.

Danger while driving – There are many incidents where many teenagers, young adults and parents lost their loved ones, infants or became victim of cell phone texting. There are several stories about -while on phone, people pass through red light (texting or talking) and colliding with upcoming vehicles causing deaths of infants. Things can wait but people are not ready to wait. With increasing awareness hand held phones are banned from many states and countries.

Medical experts at Pennsylvania State University say that everyone should stop using electronic devices such as smart phones at least an hour before bedtime so the glow emitted by the devices does not disturb the ability to produce melatonin, a natural hormone that’s vital to regulating our sleep cycles.

How are we going to solve these growing problems?

  • Do not allow smart phones to take over your life. Take control of your life. Here are few tips to disconnect with technology and to connect with life:
  • While sleeping turn off the phone or keep your ringer low -this will reduce your anxiety
  • While at work – keep your phone away in the bag or inside desk. Stick a note for yourself to take the phone when you head home.
    Leave your phone behind when you are going for a walk, while discussing with friends, while dining, in library and during family vacation.
  • Call your parents, grandparents and friends instead of texting and trying to send messages. Hearing to your voice will make them happy.
  • Minimize texting – have a limit – how many times you want to text in a day.
  • Things can wait – if you do not get updates about friend’s life for few seconds or minutes -it is okay.
  • Get a phone plan that has minimum browsing data or texting plan. This will also help you to take control of overshooting bills.
  • If you are a professional and have to be in contact with your clients – allot contact timings for customers and clients. They should contact you only during emergency.
  • Do not chase people- what is yours it will come to you.

Smart devices have taught us something good in life…. (Anonymus)
Whatever makes you happy — save it…save contact… Keep up relationship live.
Whatever makes others happy — forward it… spread the love… be available
Whatever will make no one happy — Delete it or minimize its use….!
Enjoy the journey called life…

TRADITIONAL DAL MAKHANI

Traditional Dal Makhani

Dal makhani (“Buttery Lentil”) is a popular dish originating from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. The primary ingredients in dal makhani are whole black lentil (urad) with red kidney beans (rajma), butter and cream.

Dal makhani is now universally recognized as a quintessentially Indian dish, and variations of the fare are served in a wide variety of eateries and restaurants internationally.

Dal Makhani’s popularity is due in part to its versatility and the rich vegetarian dish can be served as a main meal, included in a buffet (thali) or as an accompaniment to a principal meal (Wikipedia)

Ingredients:

  • Serving size: 1/2 cup =113 grams =120 cal
  • 1 cup whole black urad dal
  • 1/4 cup split Bengal gram (Chenna)
  • 1/2 cup rajma (kidney benas)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-2 tsp green chillies, sliced thinly
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp cumin-coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp dried Kasuri Methi powder (fenugreek leaf powder)
  • 2 tsp of vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp of butter
  • 2-3 cloves
  • 2inch cinnamon stick
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 1 milk
  • Salt to taste and cilantro to garnish

Method

1. Soak the dal and rajma overnight.

2. Rinse and cook both dal and rajma together in a pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles. Mash using masher after it cooled.

3. In a saucepan, heat oil and add cloves, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, cumin-coriander powder, bay leaf, ginger-garlic paste, and chillies.Add the tomato puree, close the lid and cook for 5 min until the raw tomato smell disappears. Add dal, reduce the heat to simmer, add salt, then close the lid and slow cook for 15 minutes under low flame.

4. Add the kasuri methi powder along with cardamom powder, stir and then add milk and butter for flavor.

5. Cook for 5 more minutes and garnish with dhania leaves. Serve with naan, chapatti, roti or white basmati jeera rice.

*Black urad dal and rajma are full of fiber, protein, calcium and minerals. Why people hesitate make this dish is because of butter. The secret to make dal makhani without having to add too much butter, is the number of hours you cook the lentils.

85% Of Feminine Products Are Contaminated With Cancer-Causing Glyphosate

85% Of Feminine Products Are Contaminated With Cancer-Causing Glyphosate

October 26, 2015 by Amanda Froelich,  http://www.trueactivist.com

The vast majority ‒ 85 percent ‒ of tampons, cotton and sanitary products tested in a new Argentinian study contained glyphosate.

Earlier this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s best-selling Roundup herbicide, to be “probably carcinogenic.”

While a number of countries scrambled to ban the sale and importation of glyphosate-containing products, few thought to consider what other items should be removed from store shelves to protect consumers.

Because cotton is one of the top four GMO crops produced in the world and is heavily treated with pesticides, there is reason to be concerned about the safety of products it is used in. This suspicion was confirmed recently in an Argentian study which found that the vast majority – 85% – of tampons, cotton, and sanitary products tested contained glyphosate.

Reuters reports that 62% of the samples also tested positive for AMPA, glyphosate’s metabolite. The study was conducted by researchers at the Socio-Environmental Interaction Space (EMISA) of the University of La Plata in Argentina.

According to Dr. Damian Marino, the study’s head researcher, ALL of the raw and sterile cotton gauze analyzed in the study showed evidence of glyphosate. This is very concerning for a number of reasons.

Not only are gauze pads often reached for in a case of an emergency to help heal wounds, billions of women use tampons and pads during their monthly menstruation cycle. Women, especially, are exposing themselves to the carcinogenic compound every time they insert a tampon or use a pad.

“Eighty-five percent of all samples tested positive for glyphosate and 62 percent for AMPA, which is the environmental metabolite, but in the case of cotton and sterile cotton gauze the figure was 100 percent,” Marino told Télam news agency. “In terms of concentrations, what we saw is that in raw cotton AMPA dominates (39 parts per billion, or PPB, and 13 PPB of glyphosate), while the gauze is absent of AMPA, but contained glyphosate at 17 PPB.”
An English translation of the Télam report can be found here. The products tested were acquired at local stores in Argentina

The public received word of the study last week when doctors convened at the 3rd National Congress of Doctors for Fumigated Communities in Buenos Aires.

Considering the widespread use of cotton for everything from basic hygienic needs to hospital gauze and pads, this research should be taken very seriously.

“[People are] thinking they are sterilized products, and the results show that they are contaminated with a probably carcinogenic substance,” said Dr. Medardo Avila Vazquez, president of the congress. “The report left us shocked.”

Dr. Vazquez believes the results of the study are serious enough authorities should get involved.

Alternatives to glyphosate-containing tampons and pads:

Ladies, keep Monsanto out of your vagina. Opt to use organic tampons and pads, a menstrual cup, a sea sponge, or another method of your choice during your monthly cycle.

Organic Cotton Pads & Tampons

If you prefer to use pads and tampons, opt to purchase and use only organic, natural feminine products. Most health food stores carry organic brands like Natracare.

Menstrual Cup

Just like it sounds, a menstrual cup is a reusable soft sided cup that fits inside the vagina to collect menstrual flow. It is reusable, leak-proof, and much more comfortable than regular tampons.
It can also be reused, does not need to be changed as often, and is much more eco-friendly than tampons and pads. The DivaCup is a popular product.

Sea Sponge

Sea sponges are the only menstrual product for insertion that is 100% natural. They come from the ocean and return the earth (they can be composted!). The resource does not have toxic cancer-causing ingredients like dioxins, furans, pesticides, and who-knows-what-else.

Cloth Pads

Reusable pads are another great option. They are more comfortable than plastic based pads and have a waterproof liner so they don’t leak through onto clothing.
Many work even better than disposable options. The only downside is that you do have to wash them, but this is a minimal inconvenience to avoid chemicals and keep plastics out of the landfill.

RELIEF FROM THE BODY STRESS- INFLAMMATION

Relief From The Body Stress Inflammation

What is “body inflammation” and how can we stop it from causing all kinds of problems ranging from weight gain to severe diseases like diabetes, hypertension arthritis, cancer, heart conditions and many more? Inflammation is response of our body immune system to foreign invaders -when the immune system becomes active and switches the gear. The familiar signs of normal inflammation — heat, pain, redness, and swelling — are the first signals that our immune system is being called into action. Body undergoes too much stress when inflammation kicks in. Some of the simple methods we can use to bring down the body stress and thus inflammation discussed below.

1. Simple exercises:

Simple exercises can help to relieve the inflammation. Those stressed muscles need to be stretched and relaxed. This can be done by yoga, Pilates and walking. People who suffer from inflammation should remember that too much exercise is not good for your body as it aggravates the condition.

2. Stay away from processed foods:

Additives, preservatives and other chemicals that are present in processed foods can only harm your body more. Consume fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Make time to cook -simple meals will help. If you get organic food it is much better ! Avoiding processed foods for few days will help you to gain the strength and energy that you almost lost.

3. Good amount of sleep:

Sleep is an important factor. The more body is suffering from inflammation the more you will feel fatigue and loss of energy. Body needs good rest to get out of that swelling. Research findings shows that sleeping little extra -20 to 30 minutes makes body feel better. Go to bed early and get good sleep. You will feel better in a day, but continue this routine!

4. Food as medicine:

Instead of supplements, try leafy vegetables, orange juice and other fresh vegetables and fruits that have good amount of vitamins. When we eat these vitamins they also supply dietary soluble fiber for the body and body naturally gets rid of those toxins which are sitting in our system. Try eating raw organic carrots and your stomach will feel much lighter but filled and you will feel happy. Include a small handful of nuts and seeds in your diet daily, especially walnuts and freshly ground flaxseed, which are good sources of omega–3s. Include ginger, garlic, cinnamon and turmeric in your food. Eat anti-oxidant rich foods like papaya, strawberry, cherries, watermelons etc.

5. Microbes in our system:

We have good bacteria in our system, which are essential for our body digestion and other processes. They live with an understanding called “symbiotic association”. Do not consume too much of antibiotics that can harm these bacterial population. Look for alternatives; consume some amount of fermented food and probiotics.

6. Drinking water:

Keeping body hydrated helps a lot during inflammation. Drink recommended amount of water per day and sometimes one may need to drink more or less depending on condition. Drinking tender coconut water also is helpful as it has good benefits. Water removes the toxins from body by flushing toxins through kidney.

7. Meditation:

Practice meditation and Yoga mudras. Certain mudra poses helps the body to recover. Meditation helps the mind to calm and relieves the stress. When stress is relieved body feels much better.
