Why Vitamin D is Important for Girls

Friday, March 9th, 2012

Participation of children in co-curricular activities has become very much common scene nowadays and there has been in fact good amount of encouragement and motivation given by the school administration and parents. With the increasing awareness and consideration of parents towards better body fitness and robustness of their school going children, schools are also becoming well equipped with sports facilities and set-up. The equally high enthusiasm and interest in physical activities is very much visible from children as well. The huge numbers of school boys and girls in action on the school grounds reinforce this greatly.
  
While sports and athletic activities becoming such popular is a good thing to have, increasing number of sports injuries in the children is certainly a big area of concern. The kids of adolescent age contributing the maximum number of such cases, percentage of girls is predominantly higher. The most common of sports injuries are typically called ‘stress injury’ in medical terminology. This is the repetitive use of particular body muscles making them feeble resulting in direct impact on the bones. The other factors like hormonal imbalance or bad eating habits increase the risk factors considerably.
 
 
There has been a good amount of perception already built in our mind towards the direct correlation of calcium and its impact on bone health. But a recent study however, brings out a contradictory fact opposite to this normal belief. It reveals a sensational fact that it is Vitamin D that is more important for bone health and building of more flexible and strong bones capable enough to bear the increased pressure of sports activities. On the other hand, there was no direct relation which could establish the fact that dairy and other high calcium intake reducing the risk of fractures. The initial findings rather indicate the relation in reverse manner however yet to be established with further study and statistical analysis.
 
The importance of vitamin D over calcium diet is being looked into by experts in a more detailed and structured way to confirm the fact statistically. There has been a good amount of association already been apparent in the studies so far. The girls taking high Vitamin D intake are at least 50% lower risk of getting repetitive stress bone fractures as compared to those who do not. The importance of calcium in better bone health and building bone density although should not be ruled out in any way. It needs to be equally contributed by a sufficient supply of Vitamin D to ensure the complete bone health.
Girls of adolescent age have their own needs and require specific dietary advice and counseling. Awareness towards high Vitamin D intake should take precedence ensuring better health conditions and lowered risk of them being injured during sport and other activities.

Love Makes People Blind – Is this True

Monday, March 5th, 2012

Have you ever fallen deeply in love? Then, you might have felt that you have become blinded because of it. People who have fallen tend to have a personal experience with it. In fact, Shakespeare had mentioned several times in his works that loving is blinding and that lovers cannot see. However, how true is it that blinded affection will lead to a lifetime of regrets and mistakes? If you want a logical point of view, this feeling can decide to be blind but the lovers should not. The idea behind the loving is blinding does not really exist and if it does it should benefit both man and woman who is feeling it.

This emotional outburst of the heart that is uncontrollable has surely been experience by each of us at one point in our lives. But here’s the question again, if this feeling is binding, should it also be blinding? So, why there are people who choose to closed their eyes on what the world wants them to see. There is no doubt many lovers choose to become blind. The simple reason behind it is that the four kinds of love— Agape, Eros, Philia and Storge. They are all considered natural impulses of man. Once this feeling exceeds the normal boundaries of self-control, people usually find themselves trap in unhealthy relationships.

If you think about it, if this kind of affection is really blind, then we wont be wasting time and effort to build a positive image. It is our first instinct to cover up our flaws. We aim not to show all these flaws until later. This is the point when ones feelings for the other turns blind. Perhaps, some can justify that a mothers affection to her child should be blind and unconditional. That is why revealing your true self to your loved one can be a difficult challenge. However, what if they accept everything about you? It means their feelings for you have been blinded at this point.

In some cases, people who have fallen to another do not become totally blinded. They know how to handle harsh truths, negative effect and to see signs of breaking relationships like betrayal and unfaithfulness. Perhaps, you will find this comforting especially if you want to see the positive side of loving. This is the situation where ones mind takes control of the hearts emotions and commanding it to take a stop. Some call it ones wake-up call to move on from a hopeless relationship.

What is the sense of all of these? People look for pure loving and walk away from imperfection. This feeling from the heart can have many meanings because of the existence of criteria or class one is looking for. The usual process is a man and woman become physically attracted before moving to the next more intimate phase. This is also one cause of many vulnerable relationships. Indeed, finding true love nowadays can be hard. A person you worship years ago seems to be unfitting to be with you after several years. But, shouldn’t you accept everything blindly? It appears that the blindness effect is better as time passes by. We cannot command our hearts what to do. It always tells us what to instinctively say and act. Just be reminded that, there are two hearts here that should be blind enough to accept each other wholeheartedly.
