Enuresis :: Homoeopathy in Enuresis – Bed Wetting

A very commonly seen problem in the clinic for which parents seek treatment and get concerned out of proportion. Children vary in the age at which they gain nocturnal continence of urine. About 10-15% of normal children at the age of 5 years still wet the bed at night. Boys slightly predominate over girls (as girls generally attain nocturnal bladder control early than boys), and there is increased incidence in some families. The factors leading to gaining in the bladder control are complex and involve maturation of the necessary neurological pathways as well as emotional factors.

Nutrition :: Soy food products and Heart Disease

Many soy food products carry health claims stating that they reduce the risk of heart disease. A review of the evidence, however, suggests that soy?s cardiovascular benefits may have been overestimated by the early studies that formed the basis for its health claim.

Baby Care :: Nutrition for infants – Elementary School-Aged Children

Nutrition for children ages six, seven, and eight is best examined from the individual rather than the age perspective. While eight-year-olds have a better sense of future than younger children, some eight-year-olds will complain when their lunch or snack is delayed or changed without notice. All three ages are deep into skill development and can be encouraged to help prepare food (creatively) for the other children. Sevens and eights are more likely to respond to requests to model good manners than a six-year-old will be. Six-year-olds who come to day care after school will tend to be tired and need a nutritious snack that rejuvenates their energy. Snacks for seven- and eight-year-olds can be a time of talking and relaxing.

Baby Care :: Nutritional Needs – How Much Food Is Best?

Obesity is often caused by overeating. Children can learn to overeat by watching their parents or other adults. They may learn that food is a reward for good behavior. For example, adults may say: ‘Here?s a piece of candy for being such a good girl or boy.’ Or they may learn that food can fill needs other than hunger, such as when they miss mommy, they suck on a bottle or eat a cookie.
