5 most important nutrients for your child’s immunity.

Image
Being passionate about health, nutrition and fitness, I research and find out a lot about healthy eating, supplements, nutrients, etc. Recently, I picked up a product during Yes Mom campaign. I got excited, intrigued and curious to know more about it. Slowly I started asking mothers around me, started reading more about important nutrients for the child’s immunity and even researched with the paediatrician. Today we live in an age where there are so many toxic elements in the environment around us. The food that we eat is also contaminated with chemicals. In these times, the immunity of small children is getting affected. It is the need of the hour to provide not just important nutrients to young children but also give them immunity boosters. Instead of taking their immunity for granted, we should aim at building it. We should provide them with a diet that makes them stronger in an environment outside the home. They should be able to take their immunity to school. Imm...

Should children go to fitness centres?

Image
Generally people believe that if children go to gym, their height growth will stop and they will not gain height. Children are generally dissuaded from going to a gym. Yet, in my fitness center, I cater to children from 6 years of age. How do I do that? Let me clarify few things and doubts here. Yes, it is true that small children should not be lifting weights (heavy weights and lots of reps). That it can reduce their height growth. But there are exercises that children should do that will help them to increase height, improve posture, increase stamina and concentration. These exercises are yoga, pilates, stretching, aerial silk, swimming, aqua aerobics, dancing, etc. So, yes, children should not be going to gym to lift weights but should be indulging in other activities as stated that can be very helpful for them.

14 reasons why Massis/Aunts have special bonding with nieces and nephews

Image
Aunty, known in India as Massi or in other countries as Godmother is very special. Ma si, translated in Hindi means, “like a mother”. Aunts are not mothers and not friends. They are amalgamation of the two. They provide qual(aun)ty time and cute childhood experiences. They are confid(aunt) of their nephew and niece. They are always benevol(aunts). Here are few reasons why there is such a strong bonding of aunts with her nephew and niece: 1.            She has held the newborn in her arms when her mother is super exhausted after the labor. 2.          She generally have special nicknames for the little ones. 3.          She hears the little one scream, “massi lets go faster” or “massi this is our adventure” or “massi this is secret”. 4.          When massi and her nephew/niece m...
