7 Tips for Healthy Happy Long Life

         The super fast changing world and sedentary life style makes us often stressed up and we fall ill often. The Immunity level drops every time we fall ill. As the saying goes - "An ounce of prevention is always better than the pounds of cure".

Below are seven tips for healthy long life:

Get Enough Exercise:

            In the olden days people had to use their physical bodies for doing their routine normal work. In todays digital world everything is automatic right from eating, commuting and every task you do. There is hardly any physical exercise to your body. This physical inactivity is the main reason for all diseases. Sports, Running, walking and mild exercises added to our routine life will keep all illness at bay improving immunity.

Go to Sleep when you feel sleepy:

             Most people stay up late in the night even when their body says its time to sleep. Few people have the habit of staying active at the night and sleep all over the day. The students take coffee to stimulate their body to stay awake in the night. This habit takes toll on the health and is one of the main causes of developing diseases like Cancer etc.


Eat when you feel hungry:

            Appetite plays an important role in one persons health. Overeating against your body intake limits often leads to obesity or related diseases. Having an appetite is a sign of good health, however if you have no appetite, then forcibly eating is unhealthy always. Wait for sometime and then eat in small amounts.

Fasting on systematic Pattern:

            If your boss asks you to work for 365 days a year, you would get restless broken down and would ask for break to take rest. In the similar way, the digestive organs fail to work if you dont give some break for it. Periodic fasting is very much important for your digestive system to take rest and hence refrain from eating for one single day periodically. This will help digestive organs function better and eliminate all waste from body easily.


Wash with cool water before going to bed:

           As explained above, sleep is very important for overall health of your body. If you wash your important motor and sensory organs (hands, arms, eyes, legs etc) before sleep with cold water, will relax your body and help you in deep sleep.


Perform Meditation on regular basis:

           Your body is linked to your mind. Many of the diseases of this era are psychosomatic. Stress and anxiety take their toll on our physical health. Meditation is a mental exercise which, among other things, allows you to detach yourself from the worries of life. Learn a simple technique and do it regularly.


Get up Early every day:

          “Early to bed, early to rise makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.”  I don't know if it will make you wealthy but definitely healthy on the long run. Your body just needs enough sleep, not too much nor too less.


If everyone follows these above steps diligently, they would not have any major health issues in their lifetime.

Autism Behaviors - Dietary Concerns

     


 Autism is a disorder that doesn't have a effective way of cure, even though can b treated with different methods on case basis. One of the ways you can keep symptoms of Autism under control is by studying the diet. Parents of Autistic children have reported that diet control plays significant role in child's behavior. Two of the major dietary concerns are Glutton and Casein.

      


Glutton
is a substance found in main food products like Wheat, Rye and Oats. Casein in found in dairy products like Milk. If your autistic child consumes these foods like breads or cheese, you can better control the autistic behaviors by decreasing consumption of such foods.

Impacts of these Foods:

      The difficulty in digesting both Glutton and Casein comes from an inability to digestively handle the peptides present in these substances. Since they are not broken down as in a normal human body, these extra peptides are absorbed into the blood stream. These Elevated levels of peptides disrupt major brain functions, contributing to the effects of autism. By cutting down on these products in child's diet, you can help the body with the process of breaking down the peptides present in the body. To see if your child has high absorption rate of these peptides, your doctor can do a simple urine test.


 Things to Remember:

  •  Consult your doctor before making any major changes to your diet.
  •  Do not try to cut down Glutton and Casein all at once.
  •  Slowly begin reducing amounts of bread, grains  and milk products.
  •  Dietary Supplements need to be taken to get nutrients replacing Glutton and Casein.
  •  Maintain a Balanced Diet.
  •  Eat a very healthy diet.

Robotic Hugging - A real hug for Autistic Child

   

The Autistic people both child as well as adult, often seek pressure in a variety of ways to calm themselves as well as coping the sensory overloads. Oftentimes, hugs and squeezes from other people can cause more distress because autistic children or adults are often unable to communicate their needs by indicating a particular amount or length of pressure. This is both frustrating and ineffective for both the autistic person and whoever is hugging or squeezing them.



The hug machine was created to relive the frustration, leaving the autistic individuals in control of their situation. Both children and adults who suffer from autism sometimes crave pressure to help calm anxiety. This hug machine is also called HUG BOX or SQUEEZE MACHINE.


The HUG MACHINE consists of:

  • Two Padded Sideboards connected near bottom of the boards to for V Shape
  • A Lever to help push sideboards together to create pressure. Lever allows the autistic individual ability to control the amount and length of Pressure.




Affects of HUG MCHINE:

  • Heightened Sensory Perceptions of those with autism who often feels disruptive or distressing behavior
  • By Applying Pressure, the Autistic individual moves his or her focus to a single feeling-the pressure-which in turn produces a calming effect.


This may not be a cure to all your child’s problems, but it works well to help many autistic individuals cope with the world.
