NEVER LET LOSE A STRAND OF YOUR PATIENCE

Have you ever experienced a day wherein nothing seems to go well, that no matter how you try to choose the right path, you keep making the wrong turn? Just like having a bad hair day, no matter how many times you comb your hair, it just would not budge.

Life can be challenging at times but there will always be a way to resolve these challenges and come out victorious. Having this in mind will be easy to keep your patience and continue to move forward.

Just like losing strands of your hair due to factors beyond your control, you too can do something.

Eat healthy – Eating the right food can alter your mood. Having low-level of folic acid in your body can cause anxiety, hence, food such as asparagus, avocado, salmon, and almond are recommended to fight stress hormones.

Stay calm – Listen to comforting music and reading feel-good stories can help switch you to a calm mood.

Exercise – Exercise releases endorphins that can relieve you from stress and anxiety.
Supplement –Taking in Vitamins such as B-complex can alter mood swings.

Don’t let your stress factors contribute to your hair loss. Letting yourself succumb to anxiety will definitely show up to your follicles and this can lead to more hair loss.

How to Maximize your child’s learning abilities

Early childhood is considered to be the most important developmental stage, when the foundation for core skills and mental abilities are built. During this stage, development is very rapid, and often requires proper attention and care to help achieve optimal mental, emotional and physical potential. Here are a few things that parents can do to help maximize their children’s ability to absorb new knowledge and skills.

Initiate an early habit and passion for reading
Exposing children to reading at a young age significantly improves their language skills and ability to learn later on. Parents should read aloud to their children on a regular basis, and they can make story time fun by using different voices and sounds, asking questions about the story, and pointing to images. Doing so exposes children to more words to expand their vocabulary.
