HEALTH TIPS

2009-08-29T06:29:00.000-07:00

Foot care in diabetics is important

Wash feet daily with water and soap, dry thoroughly especially between toes and check for blisters, cuts and sores. Avoid walking barefoot, examine shoes for pebbles, cracks or nails and minimize any risk of injury.

For a healthy pregnancy

Keep an eye on weight gain during your pregnancy. It should be about 10-12kg. Have your blood pressure checked regularly. Don't forget to have your folic acid tablets from the very beginning and your TWO shots of the anti-tetanus injection. These are all very important so speak to your doctor about them from the first visit.

Get a good workout by climbing stairs

Climbing two steps at a time is good for building the quadriceps (thigh muscles) nd the gluteus. Going down steps builds strength in the quadriceps and to a lesser extent, the hamstrings (muscles at the back of the thigh). This can be done at home, your office, apartment building, or on stair-climbing

Getting a good night's sleep

Keep a regular schedule - regular times for getting up, eating meals, taking medicines, doing chores, or other activities that help to keep your inner clock running smoothly. Activities such as taking a warm bath, reading for ten minutes, or aving a light snack let your body know that bedtime is near. Go to bed only when sleepy and get out of bed if you are not sleeping. Exercise regularly and avoid affine, alcohol, and smoking around bedtime.

Good oral hygiene for children

It is never too early to begin good oral hygiene habits. It is important to begin cleaning your child's teeth as soon as the first one erupts. Even milk can cause tooth decay if not wiped off the baby's teeth. Start regular dental visits by your child's first birthday to learn how to take care of his teeth and gums. Give your child healthy snack foods and carrots. Sugar-free gum helps stimulate saliva and cleanse the teeth.

Hair loss blues

Do not get stressed if you feel bad about your hair loss. Just remember, other people do not look at you as closely as you do.

Healthy and safe food

Prevent food borne infections:

Wash your hands thoroughly
Remove jewelery from hands/wrists
Keep kitchen work surfaces clean
Rinse fruit and vegetables before eating
Throw away food that does not smell right, has fungus on it or is past its use-by date
Wash vegetables before cutting or chopping them to avoid the loss of water-soluble vitamins. Using a pressure cooker retains more vitamins than cooking in a pan.

Helping children get to sleep

A consistent bedtime routine is one of the keys to help your child establish good sleeping habits. Try to put your child to bed at the same time each night. Baths, teeth brushing, a diaper change, and a story can help your child adjust to the fact that it is time to go to sleep. Allow your child to hold a special blanket, stuffed animal or other favorite toy as part of the bedtime routine. Put your child in bed when s/he is awake so she learns to fall asleep on his/her own.

Hormone replacement therapy

Oestrogen relieves hot flashes, slows bone loss (osteoporosis), fractures, possibly prevents heart disease and Alzheimer's but increases risk of breast & uterine cancer, gallbladder disease and blood clotting. It often causes bloating, nausea, asthma and breast-tenderness.

NOT A STORY BUT A TRUE INCIDENT

An Indian man walks into a bank in
New York City and asks for the loan officer.
He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business
for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank
will need some form of security for the loan,
so the Indian man hands over the keys
and documents of new Ferrari parked
on the street in front of the bank.
he produces the title and everything checks out.
The loan officer agrees to accept
the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers
all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian
for using a $250,000 Ferrari
as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then
drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns,
repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says,
"Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
and this transaction has worked out very nicely,
but we are a little puzzled.
While you were away,
we
checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire.
What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ?

The Indian replies:
"Where else in New York City can I park my car
for two weeks for only $15.41
and expect it to be there when I return'"

Ah, the mind of the Indian...

This is why India is shining
Shining and shining
one day it will glow like moon!!!
