Good Health - Prerna Rathod

Health is the well being of our body physically, emotionally and mentally. But the definition of health is different for everybody. For some people, being healthy is just having an average weight, for some, it is like just proper functioning of the body, for others it may relate to having just no disease. 

In my opinion, this is based on the factor of how a body reacts. For example, if the body is surrounded by a happy environment, then it is happy, and positive energy is released, helping develop good health. Being happy and stable from mind makes you emotionally strong, mentally fit and motivates you to become physically fit and fine. 

Health is something which can be acquired just by having peace of our mind. If the body is surrounded by an unhappy environment, the case will be reversed, then it is unhappy, and negative energy is released, and we become unhealthy. We can also make some of the following steps as our daily routine to develop good health and stay fit.

1. Go for morning and evening walk.

2. Do yoga for having a fit body.

3. Do meditation for peace of mind as well as for inner peace.

4. Take a balanced diet which contains all basic nutrients that are necessary for our body.

5. Eat fruits regularly to protect yourself from diseases.  

Most importantly, one must have inner peace and happiness as it is a source from which our happiness germinates. So stay healthy to live a happier life.

Reading- A Thirst of Knowledge: Bharti Rao

What is Reading? Reading is a means for language, communication, sharing ideas and information. Reading books help you to increase your knowledge and look smarter. Reading helps you to grow mentally, emotionally and psychologically. Every book that we read gives us an opportunity to learn new things and explore new ideas.

Parents are a child’s first teacher. They can inculcate the habit of reading from home itself by using simple things and share the joy of reading. Language is no barrier to reading. To inculcate reading in a child we can start with their mother tongue. Listening helps a child to create an interest in reading. To create interest in reading in students you need to start by reading aloud. Children are always excited when they start reading and beginners are always eager to do anything themselves.

Start by reading aloud for that always affects a kids brain which will boost the child’s reading skills. Then help the student to read by finger point reading and always prompt the child when he gets stuck. Allow a child to read at his pace. Activities can be planned to identify letters, sounds and words in kids to create interest in Reading. Reading is important for kids because it will help them to enhance their reading skills which will help them to improve their communication skill. Reading helps us to build our vocabulary and enhances thinking and understanding skills. If you read you understand which helps you to know if you know something you learn something which helps you to achieve success.

A child who is fond of reading books and enjoys reading is not only good at languages but is good in all subjects. Reading leads to curiosity and so the kids start questioning. Schools give importance to reading and so they carry out various activities to strengthen and develop reading in students.
