<h2>Summer Holidays – Ten tips to have a great time!</h2>
<p>Dr. Shajul George.</p>
<h3>Holiday Movie Marathon</h3>
<p>Have a holiday movie marathon with your friends. Collect some really good movies you have been dying to watch, make some snacks for everybody. Call all your friends and have a great time. This way you’ll get some out of school time to connect with friends.</p>
<p>You can even combine it (or host on another day <img src="http://www.shajul.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> ) an evening of some music and dance.  A contest can also be planned – housie being a popular choice.</p>
<h3>Start a summer project</h3>
<p>Start a project that you can complete within one or two weeks. It may be sewing a designer bag for yourself or creating a zine (old style or as a blog online).</p>
<h3>Tone up those muscles</h3>
<p>A holiday is a good time to do some structured exercise regularly. Some jogging, some walking around can be mixed with muscle building exercises – basically anything besides sleeping or hanging around the house. By the time the vacation is over, you’ll feel healthy and invigorated!</p>
<h3>Make your room your personal paradise</h3>
<p>First of all, turn up the music (tell your family beforehand). Take a photograph of your room before you start. Then plan on all the changes that you want in your room. Maybe, you can paint a portrait for yourself. Then clean up the room and make the changes you planned. Plan your major changes with your parents. You can plan some accessories like pictures, pin-board, bean bag cushion, study lamp, etc. and arrange them to your liking.</p>
<h3>Meditate and pray</h3>
<p>A vacation may be a good time to recharge your spiritual batteries. Meditation can give you deeper understanding of your inner self and your goals. You may plan to attend retreats, now that there are many retreats specifically aimed at young people.</p>
<h3>Join a hobby class</h3>
<p>Hobby classes in summer is a great way to have fun and learn something as you go. It may be computer classes (photoshop, animation, office etc.), cooking classes, martial arts classes are popular.</p>
<h3>Learn a new skill</h3>
<p>Make use of the holidays. Swimming is a popular summer-time sport. It is good to know swimming nowadays, and swimming coaching camps spring up during the summer vacation. Other popular sports to learn are skating, horse riding etc.</p>
<h3>Baking/Cooking</h3>
<p>Bake your own cake! Do the topping yourself. It is not that hard. Where do you get the recipe? There are lots of online recipe sites nowadays. Many have a rating system, hence the recipe will have been tried out and rated by other users, so you can’t go wrong! Home-made chocolate also tastes great and is easy to make.</p>
<h3>Read</h3>
<p>If you like reading, a vacation is the best time to catch up on reading non-school books. Old time fiction favorites like Hardy boys, Nancy Drew are still available in libraries, or you may graduate to something more mature. There are a lot of great fiction and non-fiction must read books, but I am not listing them here for lack of space.</p>
<h3>Reconnect with your family</h3>
<p>As you have much more time now, it would be rewarding to spend some quality time with your family. Have meals together, have a family picnic and recharge yourself. Also a great time to visit not-so-near relatives and strengthen your family bonds. If you have cousins of your age, invite them over, or plan a vacation with them. Hope you’ll have a great holiday!</p>

<h1>Health Tips for the Leaders of Tomorrow!</h1>
<h2>What is Health?</h2>
<p>Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (WHO)</p>
<h2>Where is the time to think about your health?</h2>
<p>Life is hectic. Yet healthy behaviors, like nutritious eating and regular physical activity, may help you meet the challenges of your life. In fact, healthy eating and regular exercise may help you feel energized, learn better, and stay alert in class. These healthy habits may also lower your risk for diseases such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and some forms of cancer.</p>
<h2>Obesity</h2>
<p>One of the non-communicable lifestyle diseases affecting mankind is obesity. Obesity can lead to Type-II Diabetes and Heart disease, leading to decreased quality of life.</p>
<p>Dieting is not the answer, and incorrect dieting can <em>cause</em> weight gain!! Many youngsters turn to unhealthy dieting methods to lose weight, including eating very little, cutting out whole groups of foods (like grain products), skipping meals, and fasting. These methods can leave out important foods. It also risks growth and emotional problems. Other weight-loss tactics such as smoking, self-induced vomiting, or using diet pills or laxatives can lead to health problems.</p>
<p>The best way deal with obesity is to eat healthfully and be physically active.</p>
<h2>Eating Healthy</h2>
<p>Eating healthfully means getting the right balance of nutrients your body needs to perform every day. This includes fruits and vegetables (eat everyday), fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts and whole grains, but <strong><em>low in</em></strong> saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, salt and added sugars.</p>
<h2>10 Food Tips</h2>
<h3>Moderation</h3>
<p>Any food can fit into a healthy diet as long as it is eaten in moderation. Many studies show that people will eat the quantity served. Hence, be careful of what portions you buy. Also, never eat in front of the TV as you will have no idea of how much you ate watching that favorite show!</p>
<h3>Never Skip Breakfast</h3>
<p>A healthy breakfast increases attention span and memory, makes you feel energetic and less irritable and restless. Studies show that eating breakfast may also help control body weight.</p>
<h3>Plenty of fuids</h3>
<p>You need at least 8 glasses of fluid a day, more when it&#8217;s very hot or when you are exercising. Water is a good choice, but fresh juices are good occasionally. Aerated drinks should be kept at a minimum as they contain empty calories and artificial sweeteners. The benefits of moderate intake of both tea and coffee are proven, but those suffering from migraine may want to limit coffee intake.</p>
<h3>Snack Smart</h3>
<p>Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups &#8211; a bowl of cereal with milk, banana etc. If you eat smart at other meals, biscuits, sweets and chips are okay for occasional snacking.</p>
<h3>Count your calcium</h3>
<p>Calcium is required for growing bones and for muscles. The best sources of calcium are milk and dairy foods, such as cottage cheese, hard cheese, ice cream, yogurt, sesame seeds and green leafy vegetables.</p>
<h3>Fruits and Vegetables</h3>
<p>These supply carbohydrates for energy plus vitamins, minerals and fiber. A small glass of juice can substitute for one serving of fruit, but beware of juice sold at juice shops as they may be low in real juice, but high in sugar.</p>
<h3>Power up with protein</h3>
<p>Protein builds and repairs body tissue like muscles and organs. Eating enough protein can help you grow strong and sustain your energy levels.</p>
<h3>Whole grains</h3>
<p>Whole grains give energy and are more nutritious than refined flours. The fiber in them gives a feeling of fullness and adds bulk to your diet leading to better bowel movements.</p>
<h3>Know your fats</h3>
<p>Fats are an important food-group! They contain fat soluble vitamins and are required for cell growth and maintenance, skin, hair, growth etc. Less than 25-30% of total energy should come from fats, and it may be best to avoid saturated fats as compared to mono and poly-unsaturated fats. Avoid artery-clogging trans-fats at all costs. Trans-fats are not found in nature and are produced by hydrogenation of fats (done to increase shelf life).</p>

<h3>Iron</h3>
<p>In boys, iron supports rapid growth and in girls, it supports growth and replaces blood loss. Iron is found in fish and shellfish, lean beef, iron-fortified cereals, enriched and whole-grain breads, cooked dried beans and peas and spinach among other sources.</p>
<p>Physical Activity</p>
<p>Physical activity is a good way to feel great, look good and stay fit!</p>
<p>It can help control weight, build lean muscle &amp; reduce body fat, strengthen your bones, increase flexibility and balance and reduce risk for chronic diseases. Emotional and social benefits include improving your self-esteem and mood, decreasing feelings of anxiety and depression, helping you do better in studies and improving your teamwork skills through sports.</p>
<p>But how? Just make it part of your daily life. Play sports, exercise (warm-up, work-out, cool down). Try walking or bicycling to nearby places where you would usually go in your vehicle. Music and dance are a great way to get enough physical exercise. But first, turn off that TV. Young people should aim for 60 minutes or more each day of activity.</p>
<h2>Sleep</h2>
<p>Sleep is extremely important yet oft-ignored aspect of healthy living. Young people need enough sleep to excel in studies and other spheres of line.</p>
<p>It has been shown that short-term sleep deprivation causes decreased daytime alertness, impaired memory &amp; cognitive ability, doubles the risk of sustaining an occupational injury and causes impaired immune system leading to diseases. Long term sleep deprivation increases the risk of major illnesses like cancer, heart disease, diabetes &amp; obesity and causes psychiatric problems (depression, mood disorders). Loss of just one and half hours sleep can result in a 32% reduction in daytime alertness.</p>
<h2>Don’t Kill Yourself</h2>
<p>I am talking about smoking here. It is a very important cause of early morbidity and mortality.</p>
<p>Smoking is extremely addicting &#8211; 90% of those addicted get hooked to it before the age of19 years. The physical portion of the addiction is to nicotine. The psychological part of the addiction is to the relaxing, familiar sensation of handling the cigarette, watching its curling smoke, the deep and relaxing breathing associated with inhaling and exhaling, the taste, and so on.</p>
<p>Quitting is extremely difficult &#8211; 85 out of every 100 quitters using the nicotine patch or gum go back to smoking within a year. Once you are hooked, there&#8217;s just no easy way out. With no program, statistically smokers have only a 5% chance of success. With a program, the average quitter&#8217;s chances increase to 15%.</p>
<p>Smoking damages virtually every organ and eventually kills 4 out of 10 smokers.</p>
<p>So don’t fall for that advertisement, unless you want to give up lacs of rupees (no I am not joking) and 5-10 years of your life and health to the tobacco companies.</p>
<h2>Kerala’s Scourge</h2>
<p>Alcohol consumption has been Kerala’s scourge for long with the highest per capita consumption &#8211; over 8 liters/year.</p>
<p>The short-term effects include inappropriate behavior, loss of inhibitions (assaults, domestic violence &amp; fatal road accidents), coordination, vision, speech &amp; balance problems, unconsciousness and coma and increased choking hazard. The long term effects include liver/brain/heart damage, gastritis &amp; pancreatitis, high blood pressure, various forms of cancers, seizures and impotence/infertility.</p>
<p>Equally worrisome are the psychological and social effects. Psychological effects include increased anxiety, depression, memory loss and dementia, sleeping problems, mood-swings and tendency to violence &amp; suicide. Social ills include an increased likelihood of being divorced, domestic violence, unemployment and poverty and unhappy relationships.</p>
<h2>Meditate and Reflect</h2>
<p>Meditation reduces stress and brings peace of mind and happiness. It has numerous health benefits also. It helps control your thoughts, anger and gives time to reflect on the purpose and goals of life.</p>
<p>Enjoy a healthy life..</p></blockquote>
