Sprint in diapers

What you'll realize when your dearest "energy bombs" will begin to teleport anywhere in your home, is that being a parent is more or less a sport. We should stimulate their physical development and follow their progress in order to encourage the formation of a healthy and energetic person.

 

Physical development from 2 to 3 years
Walking up and down is already an everyday experience; your child will start running, throwing a ball with hands overhead and thus maintain the balance, kick balls, jumping on one leg, etc.. It will also begin to sit independently on a chair, and it will start using a fork and a spoon while eating. Urge him to make a few steps on toes or to skip obstacle without losing balance, that way you will stimulate and encourage the development of its balance. You can sit your child on a bike and encourage it to turn the pedals.

Physical development from 3 to 4 years
At this age a child can ride a tricycle or a bicycle with training wheels. It also maintains balance while running, so engage it in running and various pursuit games because at this age children move both
 forward and backward without difficulty. Add also ball games with other children included. Therefore, provide enough space for your child where it can enjoy playing soccer, tennis and various other individual and group activities.

Physical development from 4 to 6 years
At this age, running is stable and fast and with rare falls. Children can jump backwards on one foot and they find easier coordinating complex movements even when they climb on various devices and obstacles. They are able to use various seesaws, different devices, ropes, drive roller skates, etc.

With the help of physical activities, children easily accept new challenges, make new friends and learn how to set goals. They learn about their own responsibility and how to be responsible towards others also.

5 health benefits of stopping smoking

Smoking’s bad for your health, but exactly how does quitting make life better? Here are 10 ways your health will improve when you stop smoking.

Better sex

Stopping smoking improves the body’s bloodflow, so improves sensitivity. Men who stop smoking may get better erections. Women may find that their orgasms improve and they become aroused more easily. It’s also been found that non-smokers are three times more apealling to prospective partners than smokers (one of the advantages, perhaps, of smelling fresh).

Improved fertility

Non-smokers find it easier to get pregnant. Quitting smoking improves the lining of the womb and can make men’s sperm more potent. Becoming a non-smoker increases the possibility of conceiving through IVF and reduces the likelihood of having a miscarriage. Most importantly, it improves the chances of giving birth to a healthy baby.

Younger looking skin

Stopping smoking has been found to slow facial ageing and delay the appearance of wrinkles. The skin of a non-smoker gets more nutrients, including oxygen, and can reverse the sallow, lined complexion that smokers often have.

Whiter teeth

Giving up tobacco stops teeth becoming stained, and you'll have fresher breath. Ex-smokers are less likely than smokers to get gum disease and lose their teeth prematurely.

Longer life

Half of all long-term smokers die early from smoking-related diseases, including heart disease, lung cancer and chronic bronchitis. Men who quit smoking by 30 add 10 years to their life. People who kick the habit at 60 add three years to their life. In other words, it’s never too late to benefit from stopping. Quitting not only adds years to your life, but it also greatly improves the chance of a disease-free, mobile, happier old age

Different sport shoes and trainers for different sports !

Sports shoes are probably the most important piece of fitness equipment you’ll buy, so it's vital to pick the right pair.



There are big differences in the way various sports shoes support your feet.

Football boots

Football can put a lot of stress on the feet, especially when you're playing on hard surfaces such as artificial turf.  A good, well-fitting pair of boots is essential. There shouldn’t be any signs of pressure on the foot after a game or the training.

Tennis shoes

It is important when playing tennis based sports, to choose shoes specifically designed for the purpose. There are a lot of side-to-side movements and running shoes won’t offer the right stability. Racquet-sport shoes are heavier and stiffer than running shoes, as their toes are built for stop-and-go action. Comfort should be your number one priority and it’s important to replace your sports shoes frequently.

Aerobics trainers

Fitness shoes are ideal for aerobics because they combine flexibility, support and cushioning to absorb impact and lessen shock to the feet.

Running shoes

Running shoes are great for running, and only running. They’re very flexible, allowing the foot to bend and flex through each step, but they’re not suitable for sports such as tennis that involve sideways stepping.

Basketball and netball shoes

Shoes for court games such as basketball  give a combination of flexibility and sideways support. Cross-trainers are stiffer, provide more support for side-to-side movements, and can be used across a range of activities.
