10 Tips On Preventing Overweight In Children
1. Get in shape prior to pregnancy, and go over your weight and diet very carefully with your doctor. There have been some indications that children of obese parents are generally three times as fat, by the age of seventeen, as children of lean parents. The study seems to indicate that this is due to the home environment rather than hereditary factors.
2. Let your baby decide when it's had enough to eat. Your doctor will monitor your child's growth rate, and you'll find the baby won't be malnourished if it doesn't finish all its formula at one sitting.
3. Feed your child only at regular mealtimes. A crying baby is not necessarily a hungry one. It might need burping, a diaper change, or even just be cranky. Also during the first few months the need to suckle can be very strong, but it doesn't necessarily indicate hunger, and can be met with a pacifier. Remember, if the child has eaten a meal, it will take about three hours for its stomach to empty, and hunger to set in.
4. Don't feed solid foods to your infant too early. Check with your pediatrician, but most feel that four months is early enough to start.
5. Using food as a bribe, reward, or comfort too often teaches children inappropriate responses to food.
6. Keep the house free of junk food. If snacks are wanted, treat your child to fruits or have them nibble on vegetables rather than candy or cookies.
7. Create a positive environment for exercise.
8. Try not to give in to a child's tyrannical demands for sweets. A child needs discipline, and this is an important one.
9. If you have a child already overweight, talk to your pediatrician about a weight control program. A youngster can diet safely with a sensible regimen of nutritionally balanced meals, and a behavior modification program to retrain poor eating habits. The sooner the problem is dealt with, the easier it will be.
10. Remember, food is not another word for love. Hugs, kisses, discipline, and attention are the healthiest signs of affection of all.

9 Tips For People With High Blood Pressure
1. On the stairways of high-rise buildings----always walk, never run.
2. Try to get a nap twice a day, even if it is a short one.
3. Take five light meals a day, instead of three regular ones.
4. Remember to quit before you become tired.
5. Reduce to a minimum your daily coffee and cigarette consumption.
6. Avoid heated arguments.
7. Try to go to bed before midnight as regularly as possible.
8. A little light outdoor exercise daily will be beneficial.
9. Be weight-conscious, reduce your weight.
Medically known as hypertension, high blood pressure is a disease or condition which is directly caused by a spasm----or narrowing----of small blood vessels throughout the body. This narrowing makes the heart work harder to push the blood vessels; hence, the pressure of the blood to get through the blood vessels must rise in proportion to the work increase. If high blood pressure persists and if the increased work is great enough, the result would be a gradual enlargement of the heart.
The following will help prevent heart disease:
1. Weight control.
2. Proper diet.
3. Control of undue emotional stress or strain.
4. Reduced salt consumption.
5. Judicious and intelligent use of both proper and individually calibrated exercise, and the amount of rest and frequency of rest periods needed, plus the correction of body defects.

10 Tips On How To Exercise Properly(For Women Only)
1. Vigorous exercise will not hurt a pregnant woman. Exercise, in fact, can help a woman prepare for a more normal birth by strengthening those muscles she must use to help with the birth of her baby. Squatting and stooping exercises are especially helpful.
2. Strenuous sports will not hurt a woman. With few exceptions, women can condition themselves for almost any sport there is. And we may be surprised to find women excelling in competition with men in certain sports.
3. Exercise during menstruation is not harmful. In fact, exercises are often helpful in relieving menstrual cramps and backache. In general, bending and stooping exercises are most helpful to relieve discomfort.
4. Exercises shortly after having a baby will not make the female organs "drop". In fact, the sooner a woman can resume exercises after having a baby, the better her muscle support will be.
5. Exercise will help some women regain bladder control. Many women have delayed "lazy" muscles around the bladder neck that prevent adequate control of their bladder. When they cough, sneeze, laugh or strain, they lose urine involuntarily.
Not every woman with this problem can be cured, but most can be helped. Those whose loss of support is not great enough to require surgery will find definite improvement with specific exercises designed to strengthen these muscles. Ask your doctor to explain these exercises to you.
6. Exercise will help you lose weight, but this is only an adjunct to dieting. A woman cannot depend upon exercises alone to cause weight reduction. If she diets and exercises, her muscles will remain firm and she can avoid the flabbiness that could result from dieting alone.
7. Exercise is especially good for tall women. In addition to giving them the appearance of "radiant health", it will help them to improve their posture, which is often their greatest problem. It helps to prevent "slouching".
8. Exercise does increase the appetite, but it will not increase the weight unless a woman ignores all rules of eating.
9. Exercise will not cause you to "spot-lose" weight. In other words, you cannot lose weight only in one place,whether in diet or exercise. But dieting will help you to lose weight and exercises will help you to build up support and improve posture. Both combine to improve your appearance.
10. Finally, almost anyone can exercise. But make sure you are not the exception by checking with your doctor.
