How rich you are, how much of wealth you have, but do you have health? If you
don’t have health then there is no use of your wealth, luxuries, highly
professional degrees and so on… everything will be vain.. If you have health
then you have the world’s precious wealth.
You think that by having a quality lifestyle
you will be healthy but, you may don’t know that some of your habits may have
bad effects on your health and can make you fall sick. But probably your
immunity can protect you from common infections and diseases , but think about
your children whi have the same lifestyle .They are growing, their immunity is
still developing and not that developed which is enough to protect
them.
Only a quality life style is not enough to stay healthy and protective from getting ill because the environment in which we are living is not pure enough, we have used it as much we could and still using the environment for our daily necessities and self-benefits, as a result our necessities has affected the environment very badly. The rain is infected , the air is full of germs and harmful substances, the soil has loosed its fertility and mixed with non-biodegradable substances and much more. Every day we breathe lots of harmful things like Smoke, leads, dusts, floating germs and more harmful particles. The air is not pure anymore like before and we can’t imagine that how much our body fights and defend from such things. We cannot stop these external vulnerability , but we can protect ourselves from them by strengthen the immunity inside us. It’s all our immune system that fights for us to defend from getting sick. To make it more clear I have described all the facts in different paragraphs below.

Parents behaviour:
Children comes into this world without knowing anything they learn to eat , speak, walk, run , play , read, etc. from their parents. Always be beware about what you speak, eat, drink and do in front of them because almost everything they learns from you and if it will have bad effect on them it will tamper their growth.
Very old proverb “Smoking is injurious to health”. But if you can’t stop smoking then, please don’t smoke in front of your child. The smoke exhale out of your lungs is more dangerous for the people around you and children learn most of the activities from their parents and they will grow up into addicted smoker. So beware.
Special Note for Newbie Mommy: If you are breast feeding mom then you must stop smoking and drinking for the period you feed your baby, the nutrition in the milk depend on what you eat and drink . Add lots of healthy foods like fruits and green vegetables , get some good health drink , it will be beneficial for both of you and your baby too.
Daily Exercise:
Daily Exercise doesn’t mean to let your child join daily gym. It is to keep your child’s physical activities updated. Minimize the usage of joysticks and PlayStations, let them go out and play with their friends. Get them a kids’ bicycle , bicycle riding is best exercise can be done by anyone. Do a family exercise regularly let your kids join you and encourage them to follow what you do like rope jumping, skipping, play merry round, basketball, tennis and so on… This will boost their metabolism, immunity, intake of more oxygen, and make them feel fresh and active.

Polio Vaccine:
It is one of the most important vaccine must be given to every child from birth to five years of age. It is recommended by W.H.O (World Health Organization) for immunization against polio virus. Polio is incurable but it can be prevented by immunizing the body. Follow the polio vaccination schedule which are generally advertise in Television Channels, Newspapers , Magazines and sometime the local health department also comes around streets to announce the date and time of polio vaccine.
Balanced Diet:
Proper nutrition is an important fact for adequate growth and immunization . All essential nutrients are required by body in adequate quantity to boost immunity, antioxidants to fight infections, and all necessary vitamins and minerals like vitamin C, E , Zinc etc. Avoid packaged and processed foods they can be cooked quickly but they contain more sugar, and less in required nutrients. Serve freshly made foods to your child and add more amount of fresh fruits and green vegetables and pulses in their plates. Fruits are rich source of vitamins and antioxidants and green vegetables and pulses are good source of minerals, & protein . Always change the meal twice or thrice a week, as children feel bored by chewing same type of foods in their mouth, try something different on every alternate day.

Cleanness and
hygienic:
How does it look when we see our surroundings are clean and green, its seems like a healthy environment. To have a healthy life we have to main cleanness both our environment as well as our body. We adults know that how to keep ourselves clean but our kids don’t know, sometime they stay out of our eyesight and we can’t know what they are doing and eating outside . Teach them wash hands properly before going to eat anything, put a sanitizer or dry hand wash in their school bag , it will be handy and keep them away from germs that can make them fall sick .
Apart from these keep in mind what your kids eat and wear everyday, make them wear clean and washed clothes everyday, change their bed sheets regularly with a clean one and must have regular bath with lukewarm water.
Eat to be alive , don’t be alive to eat :
Eat that much which is required by your body to perform your daily activities , don’t eat too much unnecessarily , it will turn your body in obesity and it is the key to many type of disease like Diabetes, heart diseases, High Blood pressure, and so on. Also you should keep in mind that what and how much you are feeding your child, don’t feed them when they say that “can’t eat more”.

If you have left too much of food in your kitchen, don’t
throw them away, give the foods to those children who don’t get proper meal every
day, stand outside for a while you will
see a lots of child like this, give them they will be very happy.
Adopt the natural amenities:
It is good to stay in natural environment as much as possible rather than in a man made surroundings. Make your child a habit to into bed and get out of bed early, make them breath in fresh air of early morning, let the drops of dew touch their feet. I heard that morning has an amazing power of healing so many things inside our body.
If you or your child fall sick , don’t ask your doctor every time to prescribe antibiotics, ask your doctor if he/she have any natural remedies. Natural remedies work together with our immune system to heal out the disease where as the antibiotics are chemically processed substances work of their own and doesn’t allow our immune system to work.
Family health check-up:
Go for a health check-up along with your children at least twice a year. Its is very important and helpful to secure your family with a good health. And take a protective vaccination for tetanus etc. once a year.
