Kids In Homebased Day Care Lack Exercise

2009-12-18T19:20:00.000-08:00

I was just done reading an article about kids home-based day care lack exercise. According to the article, most home-based child care providers meet nutrition standards but don't give children enough physical activity. I also agree that children aged 2 to 5 shouldn't watch more than two hours of TV a day. We always make sure that they don't watch violent movies, rated shows or something that isn't good for the kids.

Most home-based child-care providers meet nutrition standards but don't give children enough physical activity, allowing them to spend too much time in front of the TV, a new study contends.

Oregon State University researcher Stewart Trost surveyed about 300 home-based child-care providers who looked after children ages 2 to 5. Though 78 percent offered more than an hour a day of active play, 41 percent said children sat for extended periods during the day, and two-thirds said the TV was on most of the day, the study found.

Children aged 2 to 5 shouldn't watch more than two hours of TV a day, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Trost, an expert on obesity issues, said that another finding -- that 63 percent of child-care providers restricted active play or exercise as a form of punishment -- was alarming. - Yahoo News.

Using Aromatherapy And Homoeopathy As a Natural Path to Clear Skin

2009-10-15T21:14:00.000-07:00

As you know there are plenty of over-the-counter acne products out there (even good ones like Exposed Skin Care), but if you have ever had acne, then you know just how tough treating it can be. Acne that just will not go away, no matter what you do on the surface, usually means that there is an imbalance in your body that keeps causing the acne to stick around and over-the-counter products alone may not do the trick.

Treating the symptoms of the imbalance using conventional acne skin care products may offer temporary relief, but it will not treat the internal imbalance. In order to get rid of acne permanently, and heal the body itself from the inside out, less conventional methods of healing may be necessary. Two such methods are aromatherapy and homoeopathy, two of the oldest known methods of treating acne.

Since ancient times, aromatherapy has been used as an effective acne treatment. Aromatherapy incorporates a wide variety of essential oils, like lavender oil or jojoba oil, but one of the best oils used is tea tree oil, readily found in most natural health stores. The antiseptic and anti-fungal properties of tea tree oil make this essential oil a very successful acne treatment. Also, tea tree oil is capable of reducing or eliminating acne-causing bacteria with its antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Science has proven that tea tree oil is effective. The Australian Medical Journal concluded in a study conducted in the 1990's that a 5% concentration of tea tree oil on the face works as well as a 5% concentration of benzoyl peroxide. While tea tree oil may take a little more time to give you results, it does not have as many undesirable side effects - which is always a plus.

There are other oils out there that can also be useful and effective. These include sandalwood, myrrh, lavender, and ylang ylang, all of which are capable of fighting and treating acne. To make the most of the properties of these oils, simply take your favourite oil and release a few drops into a steamy bath or a sink full of hot water. By putting your face in the steam, you can expose your skin to the healing and anti-acne properties of the steam. Just be careful to avoid scalding your skin.

Homoeopathic methodology is now becoming more and more accepted and commonplace, even with medical personnel. This is due to the homoeopathic notion that acne, instead of being caused by superficial physical agents, is actually caused by internal imbalances within the body that have to be treated with homoeopathic remedies. Homoeopathy does not treat the symptom, but treats the cause of the symptom by giving a kick-start of sorts to the body's natural healing mechanisms. The skin may become broken out with acne when one initially starts homoeopathic treatment, but this is because the body is beginning to detoxify and cleanse itself. Following this initial period, one's complexion should become visibly improved.

You can use these natural methods as a part of a system that also incorporates more traditional acne fighting medicine like Exposed Skin Care to provide you with relief from your acne. As with any change in treatment, make sure you see a doctor or dermatologist before starting a new course of acne treatment.

2009-05-01T20:41:00.000-07:00

Like most parents, we also want our kids to have a healthy eating habits. Few minutes ago, I came across to an article which offer information on how to establish a healthy eating habits for your children.

Healthy eating means eating a variety of foods so that your child gets the nutrients (such as protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, and minerals) he or she needs for normal growth. If your child regularly eats a wide variety of basic foods, he or she will be well-nourished. You can help support your child's healthy eating habits and physical activity level by:

* Eating together as a family as often as possible. Keep family meals pleasant and positive. Avoid making comments about the amount or type of food your child eats. Pressure to eat actually reduces children's acceptance of new or different foods.
* Making healthy food choices for your family's meals. Children notice the choices you make and follow your example.
* Setting limits on your child's daily television and computer time. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a limit of 1 to 2 hours of screen time a day.2 Sit down with your child and plan out how he or she will use this time allowance.
* Making physical activity a part of your family's daily life. Some ways to do this include walking your child to and from school, and teaching your child how to skip, hop, dance, play catch, jump rope, and ride a bike.
* Taking a walk after dinner.
* Taking your child to all recommended well-child checkups. You can use this time to discuss your child's growth rate, activity level, and eating habits with a doctor.
