CHILDREN AND EXERCISE

Children feel tired mostly after a very long day at school thereby they may not want to participate in after - school activities.
But in this era that both children and adults spend more hours each day infront of the television and computers, exercise is a must.
Children can have time to run outside or play an unorganized sport, running  on a soft surface such as grass or mat, climbing small trees and monkey bars are great exercises for children but they should be supervised.
     With exercise :
 1. Children develop coordination and      creativity.
 2. Have healthy growth and development.
 3. Have stronger muscles and bones.
 4. Have leaner body because exercise helps control body fat thereby giving them a healthier range weight.
5. Children have a decrease in the risk of developing diabetes
6. Have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels .
7. Are able to sleep better.
8.Have a better outlook in life.
9. Have a better self esteem
10. Are able to handle physical and emotional challenges - from racing to studying for a test.

I WILL TELL YOU MY STORY TODAY..... JUST READ IT!

I was diagnosed of hypertension at the age of 28yrs when I was expecting my second child.Although my mum was hypertensive and I was at risk developing hypertension,I didnt know it could be that early.I was also obese(100kg) and was going through alot of stress at that period too.But I still didnt think of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension at that age.During my 8th month of pregnancy,I was rushed to the maternity OPD due to high blood pressure(150/100).I was seen by the doctors but all attempt to control my blood pressure proved futile.My blood pressure was just escalating(164/102) and they had no other choice than to perform an urgent caesarean section to save me and my baby at the 8month.It was a very terrible period for me.I thought my blood pressure could be controlled so that I go through normal delivery as my first child when the time is due.Hmmm....
