HOW PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS WORK TOGETHER?
We have always considered bacteria as the invisible enemies of our bodies. The thought that bacteria can be beneficial for our bodies is difficult to understand. But the fact is, the wrong bacteria in the wrong place can lead to problems but the right bacteria in the right place can be extremely beneficial. These good bacteria team up with our bodies to improve our health. They are the gut bacteria that live in our gastrointestinal tract and help break down and digest food and build our immune system. These are the probiotics. What are probiotics? The word probiotics is derived from the Greek word ‘pro’ means promotes and ‘bio’ means…

THIS WOMEN’S DAY, LET’S EMPOWER MEN!
Empowering Men??? Yes, that’s right. I know most women out there would be shouting “They are already empowered since ages, why would you want to empower them?” Well, you are right. But empowering men, not in the conventional sense of giving more power to them. But to challenge old beliefs & practices, institutions and structures that drive inequality between men and women. While there has been considerable progress in empowering women, it is still a work in progress. We have adopted multiple ways for achieving the goal of gender equality by keeping women at the forefront and completely forgot the other half of the equation. Boys seem to be completely…

WALK YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
Can something as mundane as walking be of large importance to our health? The answer is yes, definitely YES! Walking doesn’t get the respect it deserves, neither for its health benefits nor for its value for transportation, or its role in recreation. It is the most overlooked form of exercise. Walking is the most universal form of physical activity that is appropriate for everyone regardless of gender, age, ethnic group, education, or income level. It does not require expensive equipment, special skill, or special facilities. It can be done indoors (e.g., mall walking or treadmill walking) and outdoors. Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier. Benefits of Walking: There…

THE PHENOMENON OF MIRROR WRITING
Mirror-writing or reverse writing is the production of letters, words or sentences in reverse direction so that they look normal when viewed in a mirror. This writing is seen amongst healthy individuals; it is also associated with various focal lesions that most commonly involve the left hemisphere of the brain, as well as with certain diffuse cerebral disorders. Some people may mirror-write intentionally, but unintentional mirror-writing is surprisingly common amongst young kids and in brain-damaged adults. Unintentional mirror-writing indicates a tension between a tendency for our brains to treat mirror-images as equivalent. This article delves the various manifestations of mirror-writing, and the concepts put forward to account for it. The…

TODDLER TANTRUMS V/S SENSORY MELTDOWN
It’s important to note that while they may look similar, temper tantrums and sensory meltdowns are fundamentally different. As parents, we can usually recognize when our kid is throwing a temper tantrum. Something that usually starts on hearing the word “no,” will trigger them. And suddenly their faces turn red with wild, wide eyes. And there is something else that could have them acting similarly, a sensory meltdown. Meltdowns usually come from a less direct source. But how do you tell the difference? There are a few key indicators. It is very difficult for parents and many professionals to differentiate between a sensory meltdown and a temper tantrum. A temper…

WHAT IS YOUR PARENTING STYLE?
We all believe in disciplining our kids. But the disciplinary method is just one aspect of the parent-child relationship. There are many other dimensions of parent behaviour that influence the child’s personality. Each parent has a distinct parenting style. S0me parents are loving and affectionate while some are hostile and rejecting and yet others, indifferent. Some parents are firm about rules, some are lax, and others are strict about them. By and large, the parenting style adopted by a parent is fairly stable over time and across situations. But this does not mean that the parent is inflexible. A parent who is usually strict about enforcing rules may, in some…

SIMPLE WAYS TO KEEP PIMPLES AWAY
One of the most common problems faced during puberty and teen years are PIMPLES or Acne as we medically call it. Acne affects about 80% of people from puberty to 25 years of age. During puberty, the human body produces hormones that are new to the system of both boys and girls. This hormonal influx then leads to the production of large quantities of sebum. Sebum is an oily secretion from the sebaceous glands that can clog the pores and form a pimple which may become infected and form a pustule. Though pimples are common amongst teenagers, about 50% of people continue to have acne in their 30’s and about…
