The first five years of life are the most critical for building the foundations for life-long learning, well-being, and health, and it is critical we have policy reform and investment in quality early childhood education.
The science of early development, has clearly established the first five years of life as the most critical for building the foundations for life-long learning, well-being, and health.
Main purpose of Education are :-
Education exposes children to new ideas and helps them to make a path to a career.
The goal of children education is to develops skills, the spirit of competition and enhances personality development.
Education decides a child’s behaviour, how he/she faces obstacles and challenges, aspirations, intro-spections, and learning to achieve success.
Research demonstrates the important role of high-quality early childhood learning experiences on children’s development, particularly in the very early years and especially for disadvantaged children who are more likely to be developmentally vulnerable in language and cognitive skills when they enter school.
Early childhood education programs are most effective when they are play-based and developmentally appropriate.
FASHION IS ALWAYS CHANGING FROM ONE MINUTE TO THE NEXT, TEENAGERS ESPECIALLY HAVE TO HAVE THE LATEST TRENDS…NAME BRANDS ARE VERY POPULAR AND ARE GENERALLY MORE EXPENSIVE, THAN A LABEL THAT IS NOT WELL KNOWN. I LOVE THE NEW FASHION TRENDS.. WHO DOES’NT ?
create your own fashion
Experts say Fashion is a form of self-expression and autonomy at a particular period and place and in a specific context, of clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body posture. In its everyday use, the term implies a look defined by the fashion industry as that which is trending. Everything that is considered fashion is available and popular by the fashion system.
Fashion is a distinctive and often habitual trend in the style in which a person dresses. It is the prevailing styles in behaviour and the newest creations of textile designers.[1] Because the more technical term costume is regularly linked to the term “fashion”, the use of the former has been relegated to special senses like fancy dress or masquerade wear, while “fashion” generally means clothing, including the study of it. Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.
Today’s Fashion
This term does not just define all the latest or the most popular or the most famous clothes. In reality this social phenomenon involves more importance. In some way fashion helps us to show who we are and depict our personality in the terms of visual information. In the way we choosing clothes we show our attitude to world and other people. It is also some kind of communication. We put some of our personality at everything, how we behave at different situations, what we eat and which style of clothes we choose at shops. All the parts of it build the main stream of fashion. But in spite of our personality every person at the world have something in common. Even if it’s the smallest thing.
Feel Great with what you wear
All over the world there are a lot of people who have the same tastes, who choose the same food and trousers of the same kind. There are a lot of traits which build the fashion of today. ………
Fashion for Men
Would you believe that the knitted cardigan has made a comeback with a huge spike in sales for sexy take on the wardrobe staple. Now, demand is surging globally and in Australia, where searches for cardigans are up by 50 per cent. ..Searches for cardigans were up 34 per cent month-on-month globally, according to trend forecaster and shopping platform List.
Poorly planned vegan diets may not provide sufficient amounts of essential fatty acids, vitamin B12, niacin, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin D, calcium, iodine, selenium, or zinc…….Several studies have reported that vegan diets tend to provide more fiber, antioxidants, and beneficial plant compounds. They also appear to be richer in potassium, magnesium, folate, and vitamins A, C, and E.
In one 2009 study, 43% of participants following a vegan diet were able to reduce their dosage of blood sugar-lowering medication, compared with only 26% of participants who followed an ADA-recommended diet.
Research also suggests that people with diabetes who substitute Plant protein for meat may reduce their risk of poor kidney function.
An increasing number of people are turning to plant-based diets in hopes of shedding excess weight..a small study comparing the weight loss effects of five different diets concluded that vegetarian and vegan diets, were just as well-accepted as semi-vegetarian and standard Western diets.
Vegan diets naturally tend to reduce your calorie intake. This makes them effective at promoting weight loss without the need to actively focus on cutting calories.
Vegans generally eat considerably more legumes, fruits, and vegetables than non-vegans. This may explain why a review of 96 studies found that vegans may benefit from a 15% lower risk of developing or dying from cancer…vegan diets generally contain more soy products, which may offer some protection against breast cancer.
Research show’s that avoiding certain animal products may also help reduce the risk of prostate, breast, and colon cancers.
Vegans also avoid dairy products, which some studies suggest may slightly increase the risk of Prostrate cancer.
However, until researchers know more, it seems wise to focus on increasing the amounts of fresh fruits, vegetables, and legumes you eat each day while limiting your consumption of processed, smoked, and overcooked meats.
What is Healthcare ? Health care is delivered by health professionals and allied health fields. Medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, midwifery, nursing, optometry, audiology, psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, athletic training and other health professions are all part of health care.
Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, or cure of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in people.
Here are some surprising and interesting facts about your body….
Research has shown that on a hot day, drinking a hot beverage may help your body stay cool. The reason being that when you drink a hot drink, your body produces sweat to cool down your body temperature. Initially you may be adding heat by drinking the hot liquid, but the amount of sweat that your body produces to cool down more than makes up for the added heat from the liquid. The increased perspiration is key; when the sweat evaporates from your skin, it is able to cool down your body temperature.
More than half your bones are located in your hands and feet
We are born with approximately 300 bones and cartilage which eventually fuse together by the time we reach adulthood. The adult human body consists of 206 of these bones, 106 of them are located in our hands and feet. Bones in the arms are among the most commonly broken bones and account for almost half of all adults’ bone injuries.
Feeling Tired …..If you are physically tired, the best thing to do is exercise as it will give you more energy than sitting. Research has found that the blood and oxygen flow through the body will give you more energy and improve your mood. The increase in endorphin levels can contribute to a feeling of well-being.
Did you know that colder temperatures may help reduce allergies and inflammation and research has shown that it can help you think more clearly and perform daily tasks better. The cold can also help lower the risk of disease.
Bananas can help improve your mood..
A banana has approximately 30% of your daily recommended intake of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps the brain produce serotonin, which is considered a mood stabilizer. Serotonin impacts your motor skills and emotions. It is also the chemical that helps you sleep and digest food. Eating a banana can help relieve depression and anxiety by stimulating the serotonin levels in your body.
People often believe that happiness will be achieved once they reach a certain milestone, such as finding the perfect partner or landing a particular salary.
Humans, however, are excellent at adapting to new circumstances, which means that people will habituate to their new relationship or wealth, return to a baseline level of happiness, and seek out the next milestone. Fortunately, the same principle applies to setbacks—we are resilient and will most likely find happiness again.
Happy people live with purpose. They find joy in lasting relationships, working toward their goals, and living according to their values. The happy person is not enamored with material goods or luxury vacations. This person is fine with the simple pleasures of life—petting a dog, sitting under a tree, enjoying a cup of tea.
Commit to your goals.Pick one, two, or three significant goals that are meaningful to you, and devote time and effort to pursuing them, we get satisfaction from achieving goals in life, especially things we love doing.
Some key signs of happiness include:
Feeling like you are living the life you wanted
Feeling that the conditions of your life are good
Feeling that you have accomplished (or will accomplish) what you want in life
Feeling satisfied with your life
Feeling positive more than negative.
FAMILY HAPPINESS GIVES US CALM AND PEACE IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Health and happiness are completely intertwined. That’s not to say that people with illnesses can’t be happy, but that attending to one’s health is an important—and perhaps under appreciated—component of well-being….. Happiness in the home gives us that sense of calm and well-being. Children feel loved and brings them happiness.
Researchers have identified many links between health and happiness—including a longer lifespan—but it’s difficult to distinguish which factor causes the other. Making changes to diet, exercise, sleep, and more can help everyone feel more content.
What is your idea of beauty? That is a complicated question, and everybody has their own version of it. Someone says, it is an inner world treatment, to other people and nature; others say, it is an attractive appearance and lovely cover.
Beauty is described as: “the quality or combination of qualities in a person or object that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit.” In other words, everyone can see the beauty in everything. The uniqueness in someone’s body or face doesn’t just have to be.
Makeup is a tool that helps to correct some flaw on the face and to look fresher. There is also another definition of beauty of nature — it is sincerity, first of all. When you are not ashamed of how you look, you make yourself your own. When it does not depend on makeup and clothes. The beauty of nature is about doing something with all heart, working with your body and improving your personality…..Inner beauty is an essential quality in a person. All the actions that we do in life, mainly come from the inside. It depends on our inside world, values of life and moral qualities. It is a harmony that a person should feel from inside.
True beauty comes from the heart. Nobody commands us what to do, we realize it, and we are sure that all we are doing is correct and right. We can say it is a sign of a good upbringing since childhood. True beauty is honesty and responsibility. When you are not ashamed of your actions.
Along with healthy eating, physical activity is important. Be as active as possible,in as many different ways as possible. Aim to do at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, if not all days of the week. A regular half-hour of physical activity can help to:
If your goal is weight loss, aim to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. If 30–60 minutes of physical activity seems like too much to start with, you can break this up into smaller blocks of 10–15 minutes, spread out across the day.
Resistance activity is also highly recommended for all people and especially people with diabetes. An exercise physiologist can help you, to create a safe resistance activity program. Aim to do resistance type activities at least twice per week.
This could include:
body weight exercises like push-ups, squats or lunges at home
using dumbbells and resistance bands (such as Thera-Bands™) to do resistance exercises at home
doing tasks around the home that involve lifting, carrying or digging
joining a gym and doing weights or other resistance exercises.
Also try to reduce the amount of time you spend sitting down, either at work, at home or both. Some small activities you can do to help reduce the amount of time you spend sitting throughout the day include:
Take the stairs rather than the lift.
Park further away from your destination and walk.
Get off public transport one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way.
Get up to get a drink of water on a regular basis, at least once every hour.
Do some chores, such as ironing, while watching TV.
Play with your children or grandchildren in the park.
Get up and talk to your work colleagues rather than emailing them.
Sugar intake and diabetes
People with diabetes who follow a healthy eating pattern, can include a small amount of sugar in their diet. However, the sugar should be eaten as part of a nutritious meal. For example, one teaspoon of honey with plain porridge, tinned fruit in natural juice and some types of high fibre breakfast cereals with dried fruit, such as natural muesli.

Involving children in planning and preparing their own lunchboxes gives them the opportunity to learn about healthy eating, and also gives them a chance to make autonomous decisions about what they will be eating during the day.
Talk to your children about what they would like to have in their lunchbox. Discuss healthier food and drink choices and decide what will be in the lunchbox together.
Write a shopping list together. Take your children shopping with you and let them choose foods and drinks from the shopping list.
Encourage your children help prepare their lunchboxes. Older children may be able to prepare most of their lunch themselves, and younger children can help with making sandwiches or cutting up soft fruit. It is a good idea to prepare lunchboxes the evening before to allow children to participate.
Try planning a healthy lunch box to start the school year. Talk to your children and discuss what they would be happy to have included.
The six key parts to a healthy lunchbox include:
fresh fruit
fresh crunchy vegetables
milk, yoghurt or cheese (you can use reduced-fat options for children over the age of two years). For children who cannot tolerate milk products, offer appropriate alternatives like calcium fortified soy or rice drink or soy yoghurt
a meat or meat alternative food like some lean meat (e.g. chicken strips), hard-boiled egg or peanut butter. If your school has a nut-free policy, peanut butter and other nuts should not be included in your child’s lunchbox
a grain or cereal food like bread, a roll, flat bread, fruit bread or crackers (wholegrain or wholemeal choices are best)
tap water.
Tips for healthy lunchboxes include:
Cut up large pieces of fruit and put them in a container – this makes it easier to eat, especially if your child has wobbly teeth or if they have less time to eat than they are used to. Send a damp face washer to help with extra juicy fruit.
Consider giving half a sandwich or roll for morning recess, as this is an easy way to get a healthy fill.
In the hot weather, send frozen milk, yoghurt or water, or even frozen orange segments. This makes a great refreshing snack and helps to keep the lunch box cool.
Go for colour and crunch in the lunch box by offering a variety of colourful vegetables and fruit.
Food is usually stored in lunchboxes for several hours and it is important to keep the lunchbox cool so that the food stays fresh. Some tips to help keep lunchboxes
Choose an insulated lunch box or one with a freezer pack.
Pack a wrapped frozen water bottle or freezer brick next to foods that should be kept cold (for example cheeses, yoghurts, meats and salads).
Perishable foods such as dairy products, eggs and sliced meats should be kept cool, and eaten within about four hours of preparation. Don’t pack these foods if just cooked. First cool in the refrigerator overnight.
If making lunches ahead of time, keep them in the fridge until leaving for school or freeze them in advance.
If you include leftover meals such as meats, pasta and rice dishes, make sure you pack a frozen ice block in the lunch box.
Ask children to keep packed lunches in their school bag and to keep their bag out of direct sunlight and away from heat, ideally in a cool, dark place such as a locker.
