Fast food, ready-prepared food and balanced diet

Scientific studies have shown that burgers and pizzas can lack essential minerals and vitamins which are essential for health and growth. They contain large amounts of fat and carbohydrates which can result in obesity and heart problems. Many children end up suffering from malnutrition since they eat too much of the wrong sort of food. In many areas of the developed world, a lot of children show similar symptoms to those in poorer developing countries.
According to Dieticians, we must eat a balanced diet. We should eat more fibre and fewer foods which are high in cholesterol which can block the walls of arteries and lead to heart problems. Many of the ready-prepared foods we buy from supermarkets are high in calories giving us more energy than we actually need.

Glossary:

• Fast food: food that requires little preparation before being served
  
• Burger: a bread roll served with minced beef/ cheese/ vegetable
  
• Pizza: baked dough covered with cheese, tomatoes, etc.
  
• Obesity: being excessively fat

Snoring

Snoring is a noisy breathing in sleep, also called sawing logs or stertor. It’s common for a man to snore. Many are occasional snorers. A few are habitual snorers. Since it is an indication of obstructed breathing, it should not be taken lightly.
An ENT specialist (ear, nose and throat) (otolaryngologist) may be consulted.


Snoring occurs if the free flow of breathing air is obstructed due to the vibration of relaxed tissues in the throat while sleeping. Vibration of the muscles of the roof of mouth (soft palate), tongue and throat will be more if the airway is narrowed more due to more relaxation.

Snoring is also caused by nasal allergy, infection or deformity.

Snoring can also be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder. A person with this problem stops breathing for about ten seconds many times while sleeping.

Tips to reduce snoring:

• Slightly elevate the head side of your bed.
  
• Sleep on your side. Avoid sleeping on your back.
  
• Avoid drinking alcohol.
  
• Avoid overeating.
  
• Avoid sleeping pills and tranquilizers before going to bed.
  
• Take regular exercise.
  
• Lose weight if you are obese.
  
• Nasal strip may be applied to increase the area of nasal passage.
