Exercise
Preschoolers need opportunities to exercise. To learn to
control and coordinate the large muscles in his arms and legs,
your child needs to throw and catch balls, run, jump, climb
and dance to music.
To learn to control and coordinate the small muscles in his
hands and fingers, he needs to color with crayons, put together
puzzles, use blunt-tipped-- safety--scissors, zip his jacket and
grasp small objects such as coins.
If you suspect that your child has a disability, see a doctor as

develop to his full potential
Medical Care
Preschoolers require regular medical checkups, immunizations
and dental cre. It's important for you to find a doctor or a clinic

diseasesincluding measles, mumps, German measles (rubella),
diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hib (Haemophilus
influenzae type b), polio and tuberculosis. These diseases
can have serious effects on your child's physical and
mental development. Talk to your doctor about the

Alopecia - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Alopecia areata is a form of hair loss from areas of the body, usually from the scalp . Because it causes bald spots on the head, especially in the first stages, it is sometimes called spot baldness. Alopecia areata affects both males and females. This type of hair loss is different than male pattern baldness, an inherited condition. Alopecia areata is one type of hair loss. The exact number of people affected by alopecia areata is not known. Estimates vary between 1 in 1000 to 2 in 100 people being affected at some point in their life. Alopecia areata can occur at any age but most cases first develop in teenagers and children. In about 6 in 10 cases the first patch of hair loss develops before the age of 20 years. Alopecia areata is an unpredictable disease. In some people, hair grows back but falls out again later. In others, hair grows back and remains. Each case is unique. Even if someone loses all of his or her hair, there is a chance that it will grow back.
Alopecia areata is a disease that affects the hair follicles, which are part of the skin from which hairs grow. In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. The extent of the hair loss varies; in some cases, it is only in a few spots. In others, the hair loss can be greater. Occasionally it can involve the whole scalp (alopecia totalis) or even all the body and scalp (alopecia universalis). It is not possible to predict how much hair will be lost. Regrowth of hair in typical alopecia areata is usual over a period of months or, sometimes, years, but cannot be guaranteed. The hair sometimes regrows white at least in the first instance. Further hair loss is not uncommon. In alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis the likelihood of total regrowth is less.
Causes of Alopecia
The specific cause of alopecia areata is unknown. A family history of alopecia is present in about a fifth of all cases. Alopecia areata is occasionally associated with autoimmune diseases . --Normally the immune system protects the body against infection and disease. In an autoimmune disease, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks some part of your own body. In alopecia areata, the immune system attacks the hair follicles. For people whose genes put them at risk for the disease, some type of trigger starts the attack on the hair follicles. The triggers may be a virus or something in the person's environment.
Symptoms of Alopecia
The primary symptom of alopecia areata is roundish patches of hair loss on the head, with smooth, hairless scalp in the affected areas. Alopecia totalis involves the complete loss of all scalp hair, and alopecia universalis is characterized by the complete loss of all scalp and body hair. Treatment of Alopecia
1. Certain medications to promote hair growth (such as minoxidil and finasteride).
2. Treating any underlying condition or disease.
3. Corticosteroid injections (when treating alopecia areata).
4. Scalp reduction.

Sex Drive, Sex Addiction And Anger
In psychiatry, we do a mental state examination that is quite like a physical examination. In it one of the questions we ask of every patient is- How is your sexual appetite? In many parts of the world this question can be considered offensive especially when asked by the member of the opposite sex. But in the western world, people can talk freely about it. So in psychiatry, one has to be respectful of the culture one is working in.
The importance of this question is that sexual drive determines the mental health of a person. In most psychiatric conditions, the drive is reduced. This happens in depression and anxiety conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder. In certain conditions like mania, it increases. In a person who is not manic, but has an unhealthy, elevated sexual drive, it is considered to be a sign of an addiction. An addiction has the quality of being compulsive and it is in excess to the norm. This excess starts damaging the persons financial, social and personal condition. In such situations, it is a sign of ill health.
In my experience, sex drive is the indicator of the physical and mental tension a person carries. When the tension increases to the extent that the body and the nervous system start getting tired, the drive reduces. If the tension is reduced, the drive comes back. In my experience, this happens typically in people who suffer with depression. Depression, is suppressed anger. When a depressed person, having low sex drive, starts releasing anger, the nervous system experiences a release and the sex drive or libido is increased as a result.
Excessive sexual drive is the result of excessive tension or stress being produced in the body. The fact that regular physical exercise produces a healthy sex drive is a clinically known fact. When the tension is increased in the body, as happens in anger and following physical exercise, there is an upsurge in sex hormones. At that stage, the drive can become excessive. Despite having regular sexual partners, such people will feel the need to masturbate frequently to reduce their nervous tension. Such people are usually normal individuals except that they are torn inside with guilt about masturbation. If such people were to do nothing about their sex addiction, they would end up being depressed. This is because the body has a limit to tolerate tension. When the limit is reached, the nervous system gets fatigued and features of depression kick in.
In medical practice, medicines can be prescribed to control the excessive sexual drive. In my work, I have used meditation and imagery exercises to help the patients reduce their anger. The reduction in their sexual drive is a natural spontaneous follow up.
Many years ago, there was an earthquake in the region of California. In the studies done at that time, scientists were perplexed to learn that immediately after the earthquake, the survivors reported a surge in their sexual drives. The reason for this, as I understand is this. Sex is an activity that is gift from nature to the animal world to continue with the progeny. During times of danger, the survival of the species or individual is threatened. This causes an anger drive that is necessary to undo the effects of the danger. Testosterone is a typical male hormone that increases muscle tension and produces energy in the body. Its secretion is increased at such times too. In order for the progeny to continue, reproductive activity has to take place. So there is a consequent increase in sexual drive.
On the other hand, what would happen, if the anger tension is considerably reduced in the body? In all kinds of spiritual literature, there is emphasis on celibacy. Some religions enforce it on their followers. This is so because if you meditate regularly, the bodys physical and mental needs reduce considerably. There is also a reduction in anger levels and the bodys tension. The sexual drive reduces as a result. In such cases reduction in sexual drive is a sign of excellent mental health rather than the sign of mental illness. In spiritual literatures, sex is not a weakness because it provides pleasure, but because it is a sign of tension. Spiritual practices, like meditation, reduce this tension. Engaging in sex is a weakness from anger/tension perspective in spirituality. It has nothing to do with denial of pleasure.

Several Useful Methods Help You To Sleep Better
Nowadays , insomnia become a popular and dangerous disease in the world . It effects people's health and life so much . In fact , in the United States alone, more than 50 million people are suffering from insomnia every year. Individuals who are known to have this type of sleeping problem generally complain about their inability to rest their minds and even close their eyes in just a few minutes.
Insomnia has three types; these are transient, chronic, and acute. The simplest type is the transient insomnia, which only lasts from one day to a couple of weeks. Acute insomnia is characterize as the inability to have a consistent sleep within three weeks to six months. On the other hand, chronic insomnia is considered to be the most serious type of insomnia as this can continue nightly for one month.
The following are the known causes of insomnia:
1. Hormonal shifts 2. Mental illness 3. Psychoactive stimulants and drugs 4. Poor sleeping hygiene 5. Disruptive sleeping events such as sleepwalking and nightmares
Since almost all cases of insomnia are symptoms to more complicated illnesses and psychological imbalances, treatments and medications are required to be taken by insomniacs. However, there are some alternative treatments for insomnia that do not really require one to consult a doctor or take medications.
The following are seven simple techniques that can surely help beat insomnia:
1. Enjoy a leisurely warm bath.
Taking the time to enjoy a warm bath is a perfect way to relax the body. To have a more relaxing bath, it is best to throw in baking soda and bath salt into the warm water.
2. Listen to soothing music.

Before going to bed, ask someone (this can be your spouse, family member, or friend) for a massage. A slow yet firm strokes can relieve an insomniacs body tensions, thus, making it easier to fall asleep.
4. Try to avoid tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine.
Caffeine prevents one from having an uninterrupted sleep. Hence, insomniacs should avoid drinking coffee, cola, and other liquids containing caffeine before hitting the covers. Alcohol, on the other hand, also upsets a persons sleep patterns.
5. Try to avoid taking naps.
While naps are nice to have anytime during the day, these can prevent an insomniac from having a good night sleep. As such, skipping naps is best so one will be more tired at night and uninterrupted sleep is inevitable.
6. Drink herb tea or warm milk before bedtime.
Studies claim that drinking herb tea or warm milk a few minutes before bedtime soothes the nervous system of a person. This will also help one relax, thus, ensuring a good night sleep.

Healthy and Safe Exercises for Children
It's important that children get a lot of exercise. While it is easy to keep them occupied with television, DVDs, video games, and a playroom full of toys, it is not always so easy to get them moving. Varying the types of exercises you want the children to do and treating exercise as play time will help get them up in motion. Make sure that the exercises you choose are age appropriate and that safety is always a priority when exercising.
Here are some healthy and safe exercises for children that any adult can join in on:
Bicycle riding - Whether on a tricycle or a mountain bike, children love to hop on their bikes and take off. Bicycle riding is good cardiovascular exercise and also works several muscle groups.
Keeping it safe: Children should always wear a proper fitting helmet when riding, and young children should ride on sidewalks or bicycle paths, not in the street. Teach older children the rules of the road when they begin to ride on the streets and do not allow them to ride at night without reflectors on their bike and proper reflective clothing.
Dancing - Children love to dance, and it is a great form of exercise. It takes no special equipment, just some music with a great beat. As long as there is a radio or CD player available, it's easy to get kids moving to the music.
Keeping it safe: There are few things you need to do keep dancing safe. Give children a large enough space to move in so they don't bump into things and hurt themselves and let them go wild.
Yoga - Here is an exercise that seems very adult to children, and since kids love to feel grown up, they like to do yoga. It is a simple exercise to do in the home and there is no need for any special equipment or clothing. Most libraries will have yoga for kids' books or DVD's so it's not even necessary to spend any money. This is an especially good exercise for kids who have trouble calming down or falling to sleep. A little yoga right before bedtime can calm them down and help them fall asleep more easily while giving them some much needed exercise.
Keeping it safe: Make sure that the children are doing yoga exercises that are specifically designed for kids. Sure, many kids are flexible, but some of the more advanced yoga poses can be harmful for children.
Walking - Another fabulous exercise that almost anyone can do that costs almost nothing. This is a great exercise for children that are struggling with weight problems. For children who are severely overweight and struggle with other exercises, walking can be the perfect solution. They can start out with a short walk around the block and work their way up to longer walks each day as they become more fit.
Keeping it safe: Proper walking shoes with good support should be worn. Also, children should be taught to stick to the sidewalk or a walking path and never to walk in the street. Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult and older children who are ready to go out for a walk by themselves should stick to an agreed upon route.
Playing Ball - Kicking a soccer ball, throwing a Frisbee, taking shots on the basketball court, or running the bases in a kickball game are all forms of exercise. Grab a ball (or Frisbee) and take children in the backyard or to a park for some games that also double as excellent exercise.
Keeping it safe: If you have got children of different ages playing together, keep it well supervised to make sure that the older children don not hurt the younger ones. Also, try to make sure that everyone is getting a fair turn.
Jump Ropes and Hula Hoops - These are great exercises that really get children's hearts pumping and improve their coordination all at the same time. The cost for equipment is very minimal and these exercises can be done outdoors or indoors if space permits. They are also very fun games and activities involving jump rope and hula hoops that most children enjoy.
Keeping it safe: Keep a safe distance between children as they jump rope or hula-hoop to ensure that they do not bump into each other and get hurt.
Children who get regular exercise have advantages over those who do not. They have more stamina, fewer health problems, better self-esteem, and an ability to control their weight more easily. So turn off the television, power down the computer, hide the handheld gaming devices, and then encourage children to get more exercise while providing them with a safe and fun environment in which to do so.

Winter Fitness Exercises and Activities
This winter season don't let your family hibernate inside. Why not put all that fresh snow to good use? Bundle everyone up and participate in some fun activities the whole family will enjoy. There is no need to sit around and gain that winter time weight. Get off the couch and head outside. Here are all kinds of ways for kids and parents to enjoy the outdoors together in the winter. Along with the typical winter sports, there are also games and creative projects that children really enjoy -- and the exercise is good for them too.
Get outdoors for a good jogging or power walking session. Jog around the block or walk a mile or two. You can add light hand weights to work your arms while you're walking. Put on your headphones and jog to some good music. You have a tendency to get your metabolism boosted when listening to some really upbeat music.
Ice skating makes for a fun winter exercise. When lakes are frozen, ice skaters come out of hiding and get out on the ice for lots of fun. You may even have some outdoor ice-skating rings in your area. Most kids really enjoy ice skating too, making this a great winter fitness activity for the whole family. Grab a couple of brooms and a pop can; make a couple of goals then start a game of hockey. What a better way to burn calories than a little fun competition among friends and family.
If you are living in an area with plenty of the white fluffy stuff in the winter months, trade your sneakers or boots for snow shoes. Snowshoeing works your leg muscles even more than your usual walking workout, because you have to really lift your legs to be able to walk around. Add some poles and you get a great upper body workout as well. Take a long scenic walk on your snowshoes. Enjoy the outdoors while burning up the calories.
Hiking isn't just a great workout for summer and spring. Winter hiking is a totally exhilarating fitness activity that gets you out in the cool crisp air. Bring along your digital camera to take pictures of the beautiful winter scenery as you explore the trails. Even the trails that you are very familiar hiking in the summer become new and interesting again with a layer of snow. While you are outside have a snowball fight. The running and throwing in a snowball fight is about the best overall work out that you can do.
Thirty minutes of exercise daily will help keep that wintertime weight off. Not a walk in the park either, although you can do that on the side. It has to be at least 30 minutes (up to 60) of pushing your body beyond what it's used to doing. Even though it sounds like more exercise than you have done in awhile just imagine how good you are going to feel when you are done. Getting in a routine is the best thing that you can do. It will help you keep up with your daily exercises if you have a routine that you adhere to.
The next thing that you have to do winter, spring, summer, fall and that is drink water, water and more water. Always drink at least 64 oz of water everyday. Drink more if you are able to.

Get outdoors for a good jogging or power walking session. Jog around the block or walk a mile or two. You can add light hand weights to work your arms while you're walking. Put on your headphones and jog to some good music. You have a tendency to get your metabolism boosted when listening to some really upbeat music.
Ice skating makes for a fun winter exercise. When lakes are frozen, ice skaters come out of hiding and get out on the ice for lots of fun. You may even have some outdoor ice-skating rings in your area. Most kids really enjoy ice skating too, making this a great winter fitness activity for the whole family. Grab a couple of brooms and a pop can; make a couple of goals then start a game of hockey. What a better way to burn calories than a little fun competition among friends and family.
If you are living in an area with plenty of the white fluffy stuff in the winter months, trade your sneakers or boots for snow shoes. Snowshoeing works your leg muscles even more than your usual walking workout, because you have to really lift your legs to be able to walk around. Add some poles and you get a great upper body workout as well. Take a long scenic walk on your snowshoes. Enjoy the outdoors while burning up the calories.
Hiking isn't just a great workout for summer and spring. Winter hiking is a totally exhilarating fitness activity that gets you out in the cool crisp air. Bring along your digital camera to take pictures of the beautiful winter scenery as you explore the trails. Even the trails that you are very familiar hiking in the summer become new and interesting again with a layer of snow. While you are outside have a snowball fight. The running and throwing in a snowball fight is about the best overall work out that you can do.
Thirty minutes of exercise daily will help keep that wintertime weight off. Not a walk in the park either, although you can do that on the side. It has to be at least 30 minutes (up to 60) of pushing your body beyond what it's used to doing. Even though it sounds like more exercise than you have done in awhile just imagine how good you are going to feel when you are done. Getting in a routine is the best thing that you can do. It will help you keep up with your daily exercises if you have a routine that you adhere to.
