Obesity is an excessive accumulation of body fat caused by lack of exercise and poor nutrition. It is commonly diagnosed in teenagers who are 20% heavier than their ideal weight. The rise in obesity rates among teens is linked to larger portion sizes, sugary drinks and snacks, and less time spent being physically active. If obesity continues into adulthood, it can decrease life expectancy and increase health risks. While genetics play a role, individuals can fight obesity by limiting junk food, getting moderate exercise daily, and developing a healthy self-image and lifestyle habits. Education programs are needed to help motivate teens towards healthier choices.

Obesity
Obesity in teenagers is a growing problem in the United States, with over 33% of teenagers now obese. Being overweight or obese increases teenagers' risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and early death. Research shows that teenagers aged 10-13 who are obese have an 80% chance of being obese as adults. Some of the key causes of teenage obesity include family history of obesity, unhealthy eating habits like fast food consumption, stress, lack of exercise, and medical conditions requiring steroid medications. To address teenage obesity, experts recommend making long-term changes to diet and exercise habits, including eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and receiving family support.

Obesity is defined as having excessive body fat that increases health risks. It is caused by consuming more calories than burned through diet and lack of physical activity. Obesity contributes to health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers, and heart disease. To encourage healthy habits in students, schools should provide nutritious lunch options, teach the food pyramid, require daily exercise, and limit fast food and sugary vending machine snacks. Developing healthy attitudes and lifestyle habits early can help prevent obesity and related diseases.
HFA Magazine Article
Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic, with over 1 billion adults overweight globally. Our generation has contributed to this issue by adopting unhealthy habits like poor diets, lack of exercise, and neglecting our health. These behaviors are passed down to children and continue the cycle. Obesity increases the risk of serious diseases and death by negatively impacting organ function and blood flow. To reverse this trend, we must educate ourselves and future generations on healthy eating, regular exercise, and the importance of overall wellness.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Efficacy of Avartana Sneha in Ayurveda

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
