Fussy Eaters_kids

It is quite normal for kids to be fussy about food. Babies are born with reflex to suckle at breast and swallow milk. Everything else like drinking from cup, chewing and swallowing solids have to be learnt. So teaching a child to eat different types of food while he/she is growing n developing is no mean task.
Following are some guidelines which will help to incultate healthy eating habits n avoid fussiness.
1. Start early: Weaning should be started by 4-6mon. Small quantities of soft mashed solids should be given at regular times, no force should be used. Meal times should be fun. Talk or sing to baby while feeding. 6-12mon is a good time to introduce different types of semi-solid home cooked foods- cereals, pulses, veggies, fruits etc. Babies may not like new things in the first attempt but keep persisting. Eventually taste will develop n baby will start accepting new foods.
2. Timetable: Meal times should be regular n at fixed times. Baby should always be in sitting position n immobile. Using a high chair from 8-9mon onwards is a good idea. As soon as u place a baby in high chair it knows that it is going to be fed. Baby learns to eat while sitting in one place. Avoid running behind while feeding. If u want ur child to develop healthy eating habit a discipline of meal times has to be inculcated early on.
3. Distractions: Like TV, videos on phones are to be avoided. These r habit forming n child will not eat without it. Also such children dont know what they r eating, they just swallow. Too much noise n too many people around also distract the child. It is important that the child is calm n focused on eating. Eating along with family helps the child to learn to eat what his/her family eats.
4. Choices: Offering too many varities n choices confuses the child. Insist on eating the same food as rest of family. Giving too much milk or snacks keeps the child full who then refuses meals. Children imitate parents, so eating fruits, veggies in front of them encourages them to copy n eat the same.
5. Praises n Punishments: Praising on eating well is good. Hugs, kisses, stars r good enough, no need to bribe with sweets. As far as possible ignore bad behavior during meal times, dont smack or yell. Be firm n strict but calm. Too much pampering n independence is also not good, parents have to teach children to listen n follow them.

Cord Stem cell banking

Recently there was a query from an expectant mother whether she should opt for preservation of her baby's cord cells n is it really helpful!
Many companies solicit clients in corporate hospitals with claims that cord stem cells can cure 80 diseases if ur baby suffers from any of those in future.
Not really!
Cord stem cells are mainly blood forming cells, they can be used to cure leukemia but not of the baby but either of a sibling or parents that too only if cells match.
Genetic diseases also cannot be cured because the stem cells will have the same genes as baby's other cells.
Also use of cord stem cells in many other diseases like cerebral palsy, neurological or immunological diseases is only at experimental level currently. Many of these diseases occur in late adult life.
So the chances that the baby will need its own cord stem cells is very low about 0.06%. It is more useful for sibling or family 0.4%, that too if cells match.
There r many technical issues as well like cells collected may be very less, they may not be viable or useful after years of freezing, contamination etc
Private companies charge 50000 onwards and even yearly fees. This is very costly n not very useful as of now. So only if someone has money to spare n has a keen desire, they can opt for cord stem cell banking.
On the contrary, donating cord blood free of cost to public company (Jeevan, Chennai) is advisable. A database all such cord stem cells is formed and many people in need all over the country can benefit.

Summer time Fun time

Nowadays Parents are hell bent on their wards learning new skills all the time and even excelling them all. School, Tuitions, activity classes keep kids busy thru the year, leaving them exhausted. They have no time to run around n play. Vacation is the time for relaxation n rejuvination. Let the children just be themselves. There is no need to put them in summer camps or any other classes that teach them something new. Not doing anything also teaches them to have fun n relax.
So please all the moms let ur kids enjoy their much deserved break

💚An *Endocrinologist* has taken the effort to write this Post. It is quite intresting. Do read..

👉 *RIIINNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!*🛎
The alarm rings and the *brain starts to worry*:
"Its time to get up and we have *consumed the whole fuel"'*..............
It calls upon the *first neuron* it has handy to find out *how much glucose* is available in the blood. The *response arrives* on behalf of the blood: There is *sugar available* only enough for the *next 15 to 20 minutes*, that's it.

The brain, in its *doubtful gesture*, replies to the *neuron messenger*: 'Alright, go and *talk to the liver* to see what it has in reserve.' The *liver checks its savings* account and replies that the total funds will last 'for about 20 to 25 minutes'. In total there is about *290 grams of glucose, which means, it will last for about 45 minutes*, during this time the brain would be praying to the Lord to see if we *feel like having breakfast.*

If we are in a rush or it *feels unbearable* to eat in the morning, the *poor organ* will have to put up an emergency: *"Maximum alert:* we are getting an economy package."

*"Cortisone,* dear, *take out* whatever you can from the *muscle cells, the bone ligaments and from skin collagen"*.

The *cortisone puts to work* all the mechanisms so that the cells open up to *let out proteins*, just like a *mom's purse opens up* when buying items. These proteins pass through the *liver to convert them into blood glucose*. This process continues *until we get back to eating.*

As you can see, whoever thinks it is *ok not to eat breakfast*, is *actually fooling himself/herself*: that person is *eating his/her own muscles*, it is *auto devouring* himself/herself. Consequently, the person *loses muscle tone, and a brain*, which instead of *occupying on intellectual functions*, spends all morning *activating the emergency system* in order to *obtain fuel and food*.

*How does this affect our weight?*
When a person starts the *day fasting*, he/she starts up an *energy saving strategy*, because of which the *metabolism reduces*. The brain does not know *how long the fasting* will last, whether a few hours or a few days, so it *takes upon* the most *severe restrictive measures*.

Thats why if the person decides to *have lunch later,* the food shall be *accepted as an excess*, it will be *deviated towards the "fat reserve*" bank and the person will *gain weight*.

The reason behind which the *muscles are the first ones* to be *used as fuel* bank during the morning fast is because of the *cortisol hormone* which is *predominant during the morning,* stimulating the *destruction of muscular proteins* to *convert it into glucose*.
SO NOW YOU KNOW...NEVER EVER LEAVE WITHOUT BREAKFAST, YOUR BODY WILL APPRECIATE IT AND WILL COMPENSATE YOU WITH BETTER HEALTH, WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU WILL ENJOY, LIVE A LONGER AND HEALTHIER LIFE WITH YOUR LOVED ONES...BY HAVING AN EARLY BREAKFAST, YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY, WHICH WILL HELP YOUR MIND WORK FASTER, YOUR THOUGHTS BECOME MORE SPONTANEOUS, YOUR BODY RELAXED, WITH BETTER MOVEMENT CAPABILITIES AND LOGICALLY...YOUR STRESS WILL REDUCE.

👍 take care your health 👍
