Teach kids proper posture

Proper posture is very important.  I for one was not trained to maintain proper posture so up to now, I still struggle with my own posture.  Since what’s done is done, now my aim is to make sure my son will have all the training and information he needs for him to maintain good posture as he grows old.

Hear is how I intend to teach my kid proper posture:

- Set an example, exemplify good posture

- Teach your kid how to sit properly,

- Teach your kid how to stand straight

- Teach your kid how to walk and move with confidence

- Show the difference between good and bad posture

- Compliment good posture

- Explain the muscle strain caused by good posture and how it will get better and how it will make your kid stronger with time

- Monitor progress and make your kid aware of mistakes

- Reward long term good posture

Hopefully when these steps will help you as it helped our family. Next time my son stands for a stadiometer measurement, we hope to see improvements in his good posture.  If you have anything to add or you feel I was wrong at some points, let me know through the comments.

Kurt Cobain Jaguar

Nirvana was a very strong cultural phenomenon back in my younger years so everyone my age was either influenced by their songs directly or indirectly.

Now Fender is giving fans a chance to try the guitar that Kurt Cobain was using. Even with it’s above average price, I have a feeling that a lot of young people will still get this guitar for simply being a replica of what Kurt Cobain used. Read more about this tribute guitar at Guitarsite.com

Physical Education

Since we started homeschooling, we have taken upon ourselves the duty of educating our son about physical activities, i.e. physical education. We know the dangers of having minimal physical activities, and we wouldn’t want our son to be worrying about weight loss pills in the future. I have been teaching my son the basics of basketball – and we will be starting off there. We are still looking for other methods – like enrolling our son to a martial arts club, or for swimming lessons. We will see first what catches his attention and go from there. Cheers for a healthier and sportier son!

Highly Recommended Weight Loss Pills

There has been considerable debate among physical fitness enthusiasts on which are the best weight loss pills in the market today.

However, the choice of a weight loss pill is purely subjective. While one supplement may result in loss of excess pounds in an individual, in others they may not lose weight at all and some may even develop untoward side effects.

It is because of the various outcomes of the weight loss products per individual that supplement websites have been compiling both scientific data and testimonials from users. Some staffers of these sites have gone the extra mile of trying these products out for themselves.

A review of these weight loss supplement sites has revealed these products to be the most highly recommended…

1. Lipofuze = The natural ingredients in this product have been found to be effective in improving fat metabolism and reducing appetite.

2. Nuphedragen = This product inhibits the effects of Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a neurotransmitter that stimulates the hunger center of the brain. Despite its positive effects, caution is advised with regards to intake as Nuphedragen is rumored to contain phenylethylamine (which can increase risk for heart attacks and strokes).

3. Noxycut = The most expensive of all the weight loss pills, Noxycut promotes weight reduction and muscle build up.

4. 7-DFBX = The ingredients of this product hasten detoxification and help in maintaining the pH levels of the body. Because of reported side effects with over dosage of 7-DFBX, intake instructions must be strictly followed.

5. CurvaTrim = The only diet product strictly formulated for women, CurvaTrim not only promotes weight loss, it also enhances the breasts, treats acne, and improves the libido.

Term Life Insurance vs Whole Life

We are thinking of getting a  life insurance this January.  Life Insurance is a must especially for a family like ours with two very young children.  We are still unsure if we’ll get a term life insurance or a whole life insurance.  A term life insurance is much cheaper but has some disadvantages.  For one, it doesn’t have any cash value.  It will expire after a certain period if not used.  On the other hand, it serves its purpose.  If something happens to me it will ensure that my wife and children will receive a small amount of money to help them back on their feet.

Whole life insurance is more expensive than term life but you are covered for life.  You can also get some cash back if ever you need emergency money in the future.  If you cancel the policy at one point, you can still get some cash out of it.

Right now, we’re leaning towards whole life insurance.  If we can afford the premiums then we’ll surely go for it, otherwise we’ll just settle for the term life.  This is one of the most important insurance and every family must have at least one.

Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss, a condition that affects thousands of UK residents in one way or another, is caused by a limited number of things. Almost all cases of pattern baldness are the results of the over production or mutation of a single male hormone – testosterone, which morphs into the androgen DHT, or dihydrotestosterone. DHT prevents the human scalp from forming new hairs to replace the old ones, which fall out on an average life cycle of anything between a few days and six months. So – if hair loss is so common, and so simply caused, how can it be so difficult to reverse or treat? Well, the good news is this: it isn’t. It used to be but now it’s not. (more…)

Christmas Celebration

Christmas is over but we still couldn’t get over it.  I’m glad I got what I wanted.  I initially wanted born shoes from Zappos but finally I decided on replacing my old guitar effects which I really need.  I gave my son a beyblade toy which he really liked and my wife some nice dress also from Zappos.com.  After the gift giving we went over at my mother’s house to celebrate Christmas.

Of course, no Christmas party would be complete without mouth-watering Christmas party food. Unfortunately, the most common problem that party throwers have is planning the menu.

Basically, the decision on what party foods to serve is dependent upon the guests that you’ll be having. If you’re planning a Christmas party for the kids, then have food items that children are sure to love. Good examples are spaghetti or baked macaroni, hotdogs, and chicken lollipops. A favorite among kids are yummy pastries. Those who know how to bake cupcakes and cookies can make these delights in the shape of popular Christmas figures such as Christmas trees, Santa Claus or Frosty the Snowman. For drinks, you can serve colas or healthy fruit juices.

The menu for adult Christmas parties can be tricky. It may be necessary for you to know in advance if certain guests have food preferences, such as if you have a close friend who is a vegetarian. The safest way to plan Christmas parties is to have a little of everything – meats, seafood, and vegetable dishes – so that your guests can have several options to choose from. You can start an adult Christmas party by serving appetizers like hors d’oeuvres, chips and nuts together with light wine or beer. For the main course, you can have lechon or roast pig, turkey, pancit or other noodle dishes, pinakbet, baked tahong or mussels, and shrimps. Complement this with drinks such as sodas or fruit juices. For dessert, you can serve cakes and pastries. Don’t forget the coffee for after the party.

For those who don’t have the time to cook, you can simply order Christmas feast meals from your favorite restaurants if it’s only a traditional get-together/reunion with family or you can get a catering service to do all the cooking and serving for you via a buffet style presentation.

Having that Christmas party need not be a problem. Just remember that rule of thumb – know your guests and the menu will follow.
