    Most patients with high blood pressure hate the taste of bitter medicine.

    This apply the same theory for exercise, anything that is related to physical activities, people with high blood pressure are giving […]

    • thanks very much. I believed that exercise benefits for everyone, regardless with or without illness

    • Yes, there are many exercises for high blood pressure that may be done at home. If you already have hypertension, regular physical activity can bring your blood pressure down to safer levels. The best types of exercise for lowering blood pressure include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or dancing. Strength training also can help reduce blood pressure.

      Exercise in our culture may not “just happen.” When your daily routine includes hours of sitting at a desk using computers and browsing the internet, staying current with television shows and using countless labor-saving devices, you can easily fall into inactivity. But taking charge of your fitness may be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. The choice is yours.

      For overall health benefits to the heart, lungs and circulation, perform any moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity using the following guidelines:

      For most healthy people, get the equivalent of at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) per week of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking.
      If you need to lower your blood pressure or cholesterol, aim for 40 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity 3 to 4 times per week.
      You can incorporate your weekly physical activity with 30 minutes a day on at least 5 days a week.
      Physical activity should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and preferably, it should be spread throughout the week.
      Include flexibility and stretching exercises.
      Include muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days each week.

    • Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life. Exercise helps people lose weight and lower the risk of some diseases. Exercising to maintain a healthy weight decreases a person’s risk of developing certain diseases, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. These diseases, which used to be found mostly in adults, are becoming more common in teens.Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness. It is performed for various reasons, including strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance, and merely enjoyment.A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, 4 Tips How to Help Your Child When having Problem At School 8 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone has problems.

    Even school-age children and teenagers faced […]

    • I wouldn’t really know what to say about it as a parent because am not one. But let me speak as a child who has been there before and who has been there for my teenage nephews and nieces. Many are the times parents have a problem with their teenage kids, because maybe they’re too harsh or are you busy to listen to them. I remember when my nephew was in high school he had a hard time talking to his dad because he believed that what he said is what stays, but little did he know that he was pushing away his son without his knowledge. His mum died when he was still a young boy so he became so close to me and I became his “mum”.he would open up to me and I would advice him accordingly. So I felt that th3 dad did not give him time or an ear to hear what he had to say it share and that can be very dangerous in a growing child. So I agree with you on the 4 points and if parents could just spare some quality time with their kids they wouldn’t be having problems like saying that don’t wanna go to school.

    • Children face three types of problems at homes and schools: psychological, psychical and mental. Mental problem is genetically, physical problem is by birth and psychological problem starts with home atmosphere. First child is brought up st homes and after this children go children go schools to improve home education.

      If children face any type of problem at school its root lies at home and not at school. Parents are supposed to to bring up heir children in a peaceful atmosphere so that they could face any problem at school because its hinders the children’s educational progress.

      Ups and downs at school are part of life for many young people. A good relationship with your child’s school and teachers can help you head off problems. If school problems do come up, it’s important that you quickly recognise and address them.

      School problems can show up as poor academic performance, lack of motivation for school, loss of interest in school work, or poor relationships with peers or teachers.

      School difficulties range from minor to severe, might be very short-lived or last for longer. Even short-term school problems can have a negative impact on how young people feel about school – and themselves.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, 3 Ways to Enjoy your Work 8 years, 2 months ago

    When you wake up in the morning, do you feel lazy and reluctant to get out off bed?

    Do you feel dread towards getting ready to work at your office?

    Are you feeling unhappy with your full-time job or you do […]

    • That is really helpful but when you think of life, the hard life we are living, and we are working for a bread for a day, how can you enjoy your work. It also reminds you that you are not receiving high salary, you may not enjoy your work.

    • Lazy and reluctant? Nope. These days I’m happy every time I open my eyes. 🙂

      Dread going to the office? Used to! But I quit my job. No more dread. Wasn’t the easiest decision to make but I have absolutely no regrets.

      Work is what you do to earn money to pay the bills. But it should involve doing something you like. However, if you’re not fortunate enough to land the job of your dreams, be positive about the way you approach your tasks and be thankful you have a job. A lot of people are unemployed. 🙂

    • Those facts are all true, we all need to eat about 3 times at least and have a good rest to be able to better focus on work every day. And I also agree to that fact – Life is more important than Work. So true. I guess that not everyone thinking like that.

    • How can someone enjoy his job when there are colleagues that are putting pressure on you? making you always stressed up, you wake up in the morning knowing that you have to go through it all over again for a new day, it kills my mood.

    • So true. I agree with your sentiments. The only way to enjoy your job is by no ing what you do, without that it will be impossible to enjoy your job. I remember one time I was in such a situation where I used to struggle every single day, when I wake up I just want to get back to my blankets shut my eyes and tell myself that this is just a bad dream. But the reality of the matter was that I had no choice, but to wake up bathe dress up ha e a cup of tea and hit the road. It really made me sad soetimes just thinking about it. So this can also be very disappointing to you and your employer because you don’t even focus on your work you have no passion to do yourbest and get your company to the place that you would want it to be. So I would suggest to anyone that is not happy in their job to start looking for another job and leave where you are for th3 sake of being sana and healthy. It’s really not worth it to stick there and be frustrated throughout your life in the name of securing a job.

    • Work is a source of pleasure if no work life is dull doing something is better than doing nothing. Work may be irksome but its end is better on the contrary negative work start is sweet but its end is bitter. Therefore work according to choice brings happiness to the worker if not may have benefit and lies in it fame without cast.

      Because work comprises such a large part of our life, perhaps we should take a closer look at some simple ways to enjoy work more. Because we all have the ability to change our perspective, we also have the ability to change the way we feel about different aspects of our lives. Work is an area of life that is often ripe for a little perspective modification.

      What would it take for your work to feel more enjoyable and rewarding? Is there a way to create a mental shift that would allow you to start looking forward to working?

      We spend a lot of time trying to find ways to be more productive, and I am all for productivity to a point. There’s nothing wrong with finding ways to spend our time more effectively. But instead of just doing more work in less time, it is also important to find ways to enjoy the work we are doing.

      Whether you are an employee who needs to develop a more positive attitude toward work, or an employer in search of HR software to make your job less stressful, their are things you can do to make work more enjoyable.

    • You have the point with your blogs. But I must add this “We often miss opportunity because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.” ― Thomas A. Edison

      A 7-Step Path to Enjoying Work

      1. Realize you were designed to work.
      2. Understand work takes place in an imperfect world.
      3. Use work to supply provisions for yourself and your family.
      4. Notice how your work contributes to the common good.
      5. Work ethically.
      6. Humbly and proudly accept honest compensation.
      7. Remove the pursuit of riches.

    • Best way for me to enjoy my work? Keep the coffee flowing. 🙂

    • After childhood middle age starts with new ideas and emotion and man and woman wants sex according to day and night need to satisfy their emotions and the fume of the soul.

      Daily life during the Middle Ages is sometimes hard to fathom. Pop culture loves to focus on exciting medieval moments-heroic knights charging into battle; romantic liaisons between royalty and commoner; breakthroughs and discoveries made. But life for your average person during the Dark Ages was very routine, and activities revolved around an agrarian calendar.

      Most of the time was spent working the land, and trying to grow enough food to survive another year. Church feasts marked sowing and reaping days, and occasions when peasant and lord could rest from their labors.

      Social activities were important, and every citizen in a medieval town would be expected to attend. Fairs with troubadours and acrobats performing in the street¦merchants selling goods in the town square€¦games of chance held at the local tavern

      tournaments featuring knights from near and abroad¦these were just some of the ways medieval peasants spent their leisure time. Medieval weddings were cause for the entire town to celebrate.

    These educational centres are earning huge

     and  […]

    • You took the picture on your children ‘s exercise books? How old is he/she?

      My daughter is Standard One. I don’t send her to any tuition center as the homework already taken some many time from her leisure time after school.

      She did complain on not enough leisure time which she loves to read stories books.
      She did read the whole day before she entered the primary school when she was 5 or 6 years old.

      For your knowledge, she didn’t go to nursery or kinde, she stayed at home and read the stories books by her own and learnt from reading.

      Moreover, I prefer she allocates some time for cycling, playing games rather than sitting in the tuition center as she already sit for 5 hours continuously in the school.

      For alternative, we sent her to a small size primary school which only 10+ students in a class, I believe the teachers able to teach the student in the small size group.

      She did it! She managed to score the second position in the mid year examination earlier.

    • If it’s a cheat or a scam and it’s being allowed then shame on the scammers and cheaters, shame on the people “in charge” who are allowing it to happen. Any country that does not want to ensure that its citizens receive a proper education is just bringing down the whole country! The minds of the citizens of a country are the country’s best natural resource and best defense against aggressors and oppressors, i.e. countries coming in and taking over! I don’t know why every nation doesn’t get that!

    • I remember during my school days we had tuition that was being run by individuals in their homes, and that was very convenient for most kids who wanted more tutoring in certain subjects, probably those that they are weak at. I like the idea of tuition because it gets kids to be at a very good standing in class. I think it’s a good idea for tuition to be introduced in school

    • You mean tuition to tutor, this is what I understand from your post. If a parent can afford to have tutor for their child, I see nothing wrong with it for the the benefit of the child. But when a parent cannot afford the too high rates, a parent is always the best teacher for a child to learn. Hands on is really the best way to guide a child.

    • I think that guidance is must for green students but for all persons as old men of our societies provide us guidance in all walk of life I think it is just like tuition but free of cast. I think tuition means while reading or studying the books if the students fall prey to trouble the tutor will help the students at the spot.

      The other meaning of tuition is that some children are weak cannot understand at school properly to provide them guideline at home the teacher is hired is call tuition.

      tuition is an extra benefit for the students to clear the doubtful concepts about any subjects.

    • Your trick is so awesome, my old people thought us to put the mangoes into the rick pile in order to get them ripe.This technique was work in the old time.

      It’s a good idea to fry rice with mango slides, it must be very delicious and again, make my mouth watering. I tried to fry rice with pineapple but never with mango. Maybe, should give a try if able to get some free mangoes, haha!

      This dish can be called :Tomyam fried rice, right? My kids still not get used to take chili, unfortunately. If not, Tomyam would be served very often in my kitchen as my spouse and me love Tomyam soup very much.

      I do buy a bottle ready made Tomyam paste with my in my kitchen, but yet fully utilized in my daily dishes yet.
      I hope it still yet reached it’s expiry date . I got to make few Tomyam dishes in order to finish it before the expiry date.

    • Whoa! Mango fried rice? Sounds wonderfully delicious!! 🙂

    • Wow! Sounds interesting! I never tried friend rice with mango. I usually make a friend rice mix with egg, hot dog, green peas with carrots and a lots of garlic. The traditional friend rice i also do for my breakfast.

    • I never knew mangoes have so many uses. I also like the idea of using lime leaves. I have a lime tree. I must use it for flavour as I am allergic to lime juice. Atleast this will give me the flavour. Lime flavour enhances the taste of any dish.

    • This recipe sounds really sweet but for me i might not like it that much. I love mangoes and I love rice but having the two mixed am trying to imagine what it would taste like. You say it can’t taste sour really? With themango there has to be some kind of sourtaste in it. And then I also don’t eat shrimps those are two ingredients that would not work for me. I like when am eating a meal for it to have a certain taste if it is salty so be it or ifits sweet then let it be so,but the sweet sour taste has never worked for me but thanks for sharing the recipe

    • Why have I not thought of this, a fried rice with the twist of ripe mango. I sometimes have fried rice at home but never tried putting some mangoes on it. Then again, if mango is a good ingredient, maybe a ripe red dragonfruit can also be a good twist to the fried rice.

    • Its ingredients are the best but I have not eaten more time but once at my friends’ home and his sister prepared it because she was doing cooking course in the university. Really very tasty in eating and looking.

      In this healthy fried rice recipe, bell peppers, mango and basil are tossed with savory fish sauce and fresh basil for a delicious one-bowl dinner. If you don’t have leftover cooked rice on hand, be sure to thoroughly cool your rice before adding it to the wok—

      if it’s too warm, it creates too much steam and sticks to the wok. To quickly cool warm rice, spread out on a large baking sheet and refrigerate while you prep the rest of your ingredients, about 15 minutes.

      Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large flat-bottomed carbon-steel wok or large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, until fully cooked on one side, about 30 seconds. Flip and cook until just cooked through, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

      Add 1 tablespoon oil to the wok along with scallions, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until scallions have softened, about 30 seconds. Add steak and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add red and green bell peppers; cook, stirring, until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the contents of the wok to a large plate.

      Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the wok; add rice and stir until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. As you stir, pull the rice from the bottom to the top so it all gets coated with oil and evenly cooked. Return the steak, vegetables and eggs to the wok; add mango, lime juice, fish sauce and basil and stir until well combined.

      Give grains a cooldown: To cool grains down quickly, spread them out on a foil-lined baking sheet. The surface area helps speed cooling, while the foil prevents any residual flavors on the pan from seeping in.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Parenting Skills- Reasons for Language/Speech Delay Toddlers 8 years, 2 months ago

    Toddlers usually started to talk at age 1.5 or 2 and above.

    First words are important to eager waiting parents and grandparents but not all toddlers could talk early.

    Language delay often occurs in toddlers […]

    • I was among the kids that speak late. I developed the speaking capacity around the age of 2…much later than other kids

    • When one of my children was in elementary school, we all thought she had a speech impediment. When she grew up a doctor finally told her she had a problem with her hearing. Glad it all got straightened out eventually.

    • I have always believed that kids who are born into a family where people are constantly speaking to one another is most likey to speak earlier in life. The only thing I didn’t know is the fact that gender has a role to play in all this. I never knew that parents prefer speaking to their daughter’s more often than the boys. One thing I know is that boys are usually very stubborn and trying to teach them something really needs a lot of patience. Though I can recall when my nephew was born I think that boy was to rather to start talking he started a little earlier than some kids he was already uttering small small words like mama and dada meaning daddy at the young age of 1 year and in no time he was even able to ask for things especially when he is hungry he will Uttar a word like ik which meant milk of course with kids that will always leave out the main letter. But kids are awesome as much as they get on their parents nerves they are a precious lot.

    • Speaking is an art from the cradle to grave but everyone speak but a few talk sensible because speech is made on the basis of images and images are given by God on which the whole world foundation is built. Think God just say, let it be done it is done no speech, no use of words just a strong and might intention works.

      Learning doesn’t begin and end in the classroom. Once your child starts school, you might think teachers take charge, but your child is learning nearly every minute. And you have an important role to play in the process.

      Children and teenagers learn by observing, listening, exploring, experimenting and asking questions.

      Being interested, motivated and engaged in learning is important for children once they start school. It can also help if they understand why they’re learning something.

      And as your child gets older, he’ll enjoy taking more responsibility for his learning, and getting more involved in making decisions about learning and organising activities.

      Your role in your child’s learning
      Even if you think you don’t know much about learning and teaching, you’re your child’s first teacher. Your child will keep learning from you over the years.

      And even if you had a bad experience at school, it might help to remember that approaches to learning in schools have changed. Your child’s experience at school will be different from yours, so try to be positive. This will help your child feel positive about school too.
