Parenting / By / Leave a Comment / ,

As threat of corona is increasing day by day in every country all over the world, People are locked down in their home. In such worst condition who are most suffering, that are kids below 10 years and aged people who are more than 60 years. Small kids who are unaware of their well-being and can’t follow social distancing as well as sanitization and all they don’t want to listen why they are kept away from their favorite places like garden, malls etc. In such panic condition their mental as well as physical health will be affected for longer time. At this time almost every school has started online classes. Work from home is going on already so far, so it is tougher for parents to give quality time to their kids because domestic help is also closed. Then what is necessary to all parents:-

1- Whatever you are doing but always keep eyes on your little ones.

2- Try to give some quality time to them, it may be in form of indoor games or may be story telling.

3- Don’t shout or overreact on children as it is very tough situation for all of us.

4. Try to engage your kids in some fruitful work which they enjoy like art and craft, some toy making or take help from them in kitchen.

5. Handle kids very softly, because after lock down studies will be completed if child is mentally stable.

 

 

Everything good found in ginger

Indian spices / By / 1 Comment / , ,

Ginger is a well known spice from our Indian kitchen. It is used in very small quantities but its presence is very necessary at least in our morning tea.

Ginger (Adarak) belongs to the same family of turmeric and cardamom, which is zingiberaceae. It’s a rhizome, a thick underground stem that sprouts roots and shoots.

Its uses

1. Ginger is commonly used for many types of nausea and vomiting like pregnancy nausea and surgical nausea.

2. Ginger is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant in nature. Consumption of ginger may help to decrease muscle soreness, inflammation and relieve osteoarthritis pain.

3. Ginger works by inhibiting serotonin receptors, exerting anti- nausea effects at both the brain and gut level.

4. It also contains an enzyme called zingibain that may assist in protein digestion.

5. On animal research, studies have shown that ginger might help to control high blood pressure.

Consumption of anything in high dose is harmful always. High dose of ginger may cause burning sensation and indigestion, diarrhea etc.
