Ten ways to get your little ones to sleep tight

Thu, Mar 24, 2016

1. Set the scene for sleep. Children spend half their time in bed so it is important that their sleeping area is suitable. They will be more likely to want to go to bed if their bedroom is cosy and inviting. Aim to create a bright, cheerful and attractive space. A messy or cluttered room is not conducive to rest. Smaller children will need help to keep their rooms tidy but this guided cleaning will pay dividents in the long run.

Help them make their room into a mini home which they can fill with their own possessions. Make their beds as attractive as possible too as this will entice them to slip beneath the covers. Colourful duvets and cute pyjamas and nightdresses are well worth buying because they will make bedtime more pleasant. Leaving their bedroom door open at night may help ease the separation from parents and give them a means of communicating with you. Remember that many children are afraid of the dark so a small light or a dimmer switch will combat this fear. Some children find silence scary so it may be a good idea to have a music box or some soothing background sound to help them drift away to the land of nod.

Operation Educogym - goal was fifty-six pounds in 56 days...

Wed, Mar 16, 2016

"When I started eight weeks ago as a 36-year-old, father of two, with a demanding career and a diet that had mostly consisted of high sugar and high carbohydrate foods, I had allowed myself reach a whopping 22.8 stone.

With a reading of 40 per cent body fat, which on the chart placed me in the class of 'morbidly obese', this in simple terms means I would be considered to be in the very High risk category in relation to heart disease, metabolic syndrome, sleep apnea, lipid problems, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, dementia, cancer, and/or non alcoholic fatty kiver disease. Needless to say this statistic is a very scary thought for anyone who is told they are at 40 per cent body fat.
