HEALTH PILLAR III

PREPARE PHYSICALLY STRONG

These days parents are so busy with their official works and slowly started ignoring basic needs for their children. They don't have much time to spend with the children around the table for breakfast or to play with them or tell them some stories. Especially mothers we are all in one but none of master. We are a physician, nurse, baby sitter, nutritionist, a good chief cook, beautician, singer, etc of course a good mother and wife. So shall we not forget our responsibility as all in one that we are building and maintaining our family's health . When children are healthy credits goes to father where else when children is sick credit goes to mother. So let's try to make more credits to our husband.

The serious situation is, most of the problem (illness) starts from imbalance diets which is placed on the table for our children to eat. Knowingly or unknowingly we do the same mistakes. It's a high time to reform your family's table. Set a proper timing for food (breakfast, lunch, dinner), playing, watching T.V, study, sleep, rest, work etc. Don't make many varieties of dishes at one meal. Avoid mixing many vegetables in a dish. Make in such a way that you don't repeatedly cook the same item day after days. Daily make them to have curd, fresh salads such a carrot, cabbage, tomato, radish, onion, cucumber, lettuce, colander leaves, mint, and sprouted grams etc. Dishes should be simple and palatable. Avoid over cooked foods, highly seasoning with hot capsicum, spices, oily, deep fried, ghee etc. Bring up your children with less non-veg items or best is not at all. Don't give much space to eatables like cake, sweets, biscuits, chips, ice-cream and artificial drinks, tea, coffee etc. Daily give them fresh fruits (not over ripe), dried fruits nuts, 2-3 glasses of milk without sugar(for sweetening you can add jaggery or honey), lots of greenly leaves.

Another important part is that don't let them see T.V while eating food. Gather all your children and eat together happily with thanks giving. Teach them to eat cheerfully and let them chew their food properly. Avoid over eating, eating hurriedly but slowly. Give them plenty water to drink avoid while eating food just a mouthful after meals. Teach them to have 30 minutes before and 1 hour after the meals.

Take them for morning and evening walk. Take them out near the country side to view the nature. Teach them a good posture to sit. Give time to play around. Children are happy if we mother or father play with them. Keep children always warm provided with comfortable outfits and avoid sleeveless clothing and long pants for girls. Depend upon natural treatment for acute diseases. Message whole body and head under the sunlight thrice a week with mild baby oil. Brush teeth daily after each meal and also change the brush every four months. Keep their nails short and tidy. Dear mother, suppose if those things are maintain, really you are a good mother in this world and she or he is very lucky to have such a caring mother like you. I am sure your kids will be very healthy and wise.

PREPARE SPIRITUALLY STRONG

Spiritual strong children can overcome with any worldly BAD TEMPTATION like bad habits (smoking, drinking alcohol, drug addiction, chewing pan), bad moral characters, adulteration, thieves, hatred, anger, fights, covetous, intemperance, etc Romans 8:6 tells "...spiritually minded is life and peace." And also in Proverbs 25:28 admits "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Spiritual strong is the main root foundation of each individual human being. When the sown seeds are not nourished on time with proper sufficient natural sources like water, sunlight, soil etc it is sure to die, but with well services to the plant in return gives fruitful harvest. Likewise children are dependent on natural spiritual sources from Godly parents for their fruitful healthy living. Parents or elders have to guide them by unfolding the true way of life. Direct them what are good and bad ways that will prosper or hinder their life respectively. Make them to understand the purpose of living in truth. Far more let them know how preciously God had design our body with various organs, its functioning systems and if we don't take care of it there will be a grievous consequences. Teach them our body is very important to be defile with unwanted bad things and for God dwells in us. The Bible questions us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

Foundation is a great word to be considered for children. After all selection of education location should be well choosed. School be such a place that your children has an opportunity to learn not only worldly knowledge but also the word of God. Beside when they are small teach them how to pray, sing, tell them Bible stories rather than fiction fairy tales, make them to memorize short Bible verses and write them in their own diary or book for child's interest. If your children likes reading books choose for them that is useful for them and books which gives them moral lessons. Regarding music that you play at home is another topic to be thought off by parents. Things to be thought off regarding your music is that when you play noisy, romantic, sentimental, any securial songs, religious songs what will our children's influence running in their mind. Take them to church every Saturday and let them take part in children kindred garden class. In church they will learn many things like manner, discipline, respect, moral character, humble, love themselves and their neighbours, truth, health/body concern, more about God and His love etc.

Dear parents once again let me repeat the verse "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Speaking the fact as a child grew up to attend adulthood. There are many satanic culprits that spoil their life. Unfortunately some dies of due to threatening illness, like cancer, diabetes, hypertension, AIDS etc. Some gets addiction to drugs like morphine, heroin, poisoning, due to over dose they have to scarifies their life. Some are taped in bad habits like strong drinks like alcohol, beer, tobacco products etc, and above all some falls in moral less character having many life partners, adulteration at last they end up their life by getting sexual transmitted disease like AIDS. Depression is also another satanic culprit which leads many youngsters and old men to suicide. Some end up their life in jail , everyone knows the reason why? Some died due to natural calamities. Dear parents it's a very difficult task to bring a child unless you don't rely on God who has created them.

Proverbs 22:6. Let us seek Gods wisdom, James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
