How to Maintain Your Health

things that will stay with us through out our life. But it is very important to keep your body well protected from harm and this article is meant only for this purpose i.e. to inform you on how you can make proper health an everyday thing. no matter where you are, who you are or how old you are, this article will help you.

EditSteps

1
Know how our health can be harmed. There are mainly three factors that harm us, micro organisms[microbes], malnutrition and injuries. The microbes use our body for satisfying their needs. This eventually harms our body as it starts to run out of vital cells and nutrients, we fall sick. There are times when we might even receive a life long effect or damage. Our body has it's defence mechanism against diseases that consists of special cells that are assigned only in the destruction and disposal of such microbes. They require different nutrients. The second factor is malnutrition. Our body requires different substances for it's complete functioning. Apart from building cells, it also produces substances like gold. Scientists do not know how or why the body produces such substances. But it appears that they are vital. In order to produce these, the body needs the required nutrients that can be supplied only through a proper meal. The third factor is physical injuries which can only be avoided, not always prevented.

What you need. The basics that everybody says: "proper food and exercise." But this article is meant to give the details.
3
Get the food you need. It's absolutely correct that you are what you eat. which means that if you want to stay healthy then you must eat healthy. Eating healthy means eating proper food. Meals must be properly cooked and must supply the nutrients your body needs. Accordingly, the food must always be properly cooked in every form and salads should be thoroughly clean in order to avoid entry of harmful bacterias and fungus. The second thing is the nutritional value. Your food must contain calories but only to the amount you can burn. Your meals must also contain: green vegetables, nuts, onions, grains and yogurt. These must be had every day. The green vegetables enrich the blood and help the hemoglobin. They have large amounts of minerals and protect against diseases. The nuts are nothing but concentrated fats and minerals, making them the ideal breakfast munchies. Onions are not so tasty but they help in purification of the system. They protect against asthma and stomach cancer. The grains and yogurt help in the digestion as they provide fibres and enzymes for the body. The fruits are the second thing to keep in mind. Fruits are best had in the very season that they ripen in. - eg: oranges ripen in winters and provide vitamin C which prevents the damage to the skin that is caused by the cold and dry weather. -
4
Drink water. Water, water everywhere. Yes, water. and that though plenty of it. A recent scientific research has also stated that healthy people must drink at least 8 glasses[250ml] of water. This simple procedure purifies your immune system from all impurities and therefore helps fight pimples. It purifies by removing the toxins that trigger stress and other harmful emotions.
5
Exercise. After all that eating, you need to went it out. All this energy can get accumulated if not used properly and dieting can not control it. The only way is to exercise if you don't have a job that can drain your energy. This is important and the only solution to obesity. Apart from the gym, try doing exercises that strengthen the muscles. These can be learned from any body builder or wrestler. If you are unable to do any exercise, then certainly do start to walk. Don't jog or walk fast, simply walk at your comfort level. This will also help you mentally.
6
Get some sun. When they say that sunlight is important for all life forms, they mean that every life form requires sunlight even if they do not perform photosynthesis. Our body requires vitamin D which it will produce on it's own when the skin comes in contact with sunlight. The best time for sitting in the Sun is during the start and end of winter.
7
Reduce stress. This point does need a highlight. Some people who are prone to stress or have a tension filled life must stop. If you are one of them, then stop this schedule right now. All efforts will go waste[even this article] if you take stress. Stress can be curbed by the one hour walk suggested above. But the first step will be to take a leave for at least 2 days. Then you should start walking and during this break, forget work. Nice excuse but very important because stress can cause a lot of harm. A lot. If you really are stress prone, do consult a doctor.
8
No risk. When it comes to health, never take a risk. The value of health is most understood when you lose it. So don't risk it.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Internet

In the history of mankind, the Internet is the greatest development in the domain of communication industry. Similar to each and every invention, the Internet carries a number of advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, the advantages of the Internet are so huge in number that they outperform the disadvantages quite easily.

What is Internet?
According to the definition provided by Oxford dictionary, the Internet is an arrangement of connected computers, which lets the computer users all over the globe exchange data. At the present time, approximately 33% of the world population has accessibility to the Internet. The Internet is an extraordinary entertainment and learning tool that may be utilized in a number of modes to increase the ability of a user to collect information. The principal components of the Internet are the World Wide Web (WWW) and e-mail. With the passage of time, the Internet has become the most effective business tool in the contemporary world. It can be described as a global meeting place where people from every corner of the world can come simultaneously.

The advantages of Internet

Following are the advantages provided by the Internet:

1) Information The biggest benefit offered by the Internet is information. It functions as a valuable resource of information. You can find any type of information on any subject with the help of the search engines like Yahoo and Google.
2) Communication The primary goal of the Internet is communication. It has done extremely well in this field, however the development process is still going on to make it more dependable and quick. By sending an e-mail, we can contact a person who is physically present thousand miles away within the fraction of a second’s time.
3) Entertainment Internet functions as a popular medium of entertainment. A wide variety of entertainment including video games, music, movies, chat room, news and others can be accessed through the Internet.
4) E-commerce E-commerce is the idea that is implemented for any form of commercial strategy or business transactions that entails transmission of data from one corner of the world to another. E-commerce has become a fantastic option through which you can shop anything.
5) Formation of communities Internet helps in formation of communities or forums. Here a number of people can participate in different types of debates and discussions, express their views and gather valuable knowledge.
6) Services A variety of services are offered via Internet, for example job searching, online banking, buying movie tickets, hotel reservations and consultation services etc. When you avail these services offline, they become more expensive.

The disadvantages of Internet

Following are the disadvantages of Internet:

1) Spamming: Spamming denotes distribution of unsolicited e-mails in large numbers. They are meaningless and they unnecessarily block the whole system. These activities are treated as illegal.
2) Theft of personal details While using the Internet, there is high probability that your personal details like name, address and credit card number may be accessed by con artists and used for fraudulent purposes.
3) Pornography: Pornography is definitely harmful for your children. There are numerous pornographic sites available over the Internet and watching any of those can have very bad influence on the mental health of your children.
4) Virus threat Virus is a program that interrupts the usual operation of your personal computer system. PCs linked to the Internet have high probability of virus attacks and as a result of this your hard disk can crash, giving you a lot of trouble.

Unemployment Rate in Pakistan 2012

The percentage of people in economy who are eager and able to work but are not working is called unemployment. In Pakistan mostly unemployment arises when a person becomes indolent or unappreciated in the job other than this hiring and firing of companies also affect unemployment rate.

Changes in unemployment depend mostly on flows made up of non-employed people starting to look for jobs, and of employed people who lose their jobs and look for new ones and of people who stop looking for employment. Most common terms are the labour force, the participation rate and the employment rate.

People experience development through their work. It is not just about having a job. It is about the quality of employment that provides a sufficient income to keep workers and their families out of poverty. It is about basic rights at work and a voice in decisions that affect their lives and livelihoods. It is about having security in times of disaster. All these are key ingredients of a decent job which stands for dignity of work, promotes a sense of self worth and ensures family stability.

2" width="650" />

The analysis by Decent Work for both men and women show that while improvements have been achieved in Pakistan but some of the major challenges remain. In this context some of the key findings of the details are:

In line with a rising labour force contribution rate (from 50.4 percent in 1999-2000 to 52.5 percent in 2006-2007 and 53.4 percent in 2010-2011), the employment to population ratio has gradually increased over the last ten years (from 46.8 percent in 1999-2000 to 50.4 percent in 2010-2011), especially for women, (from 13.7 percent in 1999-2000 to 22.2 percent in 2010-2011) reflecting the Government’s efforts to create more employment opportunities for all.
At the same time, of anxiety is the still relatively high employment-to population ratio of almost 80 percent for men (15+) as they point towards a likely profusion of low quality jobs in the country.
Overall, men seem to benefit more from improvements in the labour market. In 2010-2011, the share of men with a pay and salaried job was at 41.2 percent; almost double that of females, at 21.6 percent, reflecting a situation in which the few wage and salaried jobs that are created tend to go to men rather than women.
Approximately six out of ten employed people in Pakistan (61.6 percent) in 2010-2011 were considered to be susceptible, meaning “at risk of lacking decent work”. The large share of female susceptibility (78.3 percent) needs special attention. Also of concern is the large share of youth susceptibility (60.9 percent). Although often better skilled than the rest of the labour force, young people seem to face similar labour market difficulties as adults.
Pakistan has seen very low labour productivity over the last decade. In addition the relatively low growth in labour productivity has not gone hand in hand with the rising labour force and employment growth. This development suggests that many new labour market entrants are taking on low-productivity, poorly salaried w

The Status of Women in Pakistan:Women's rights in

The Status of Women right in pakistan

The Status of Women in Pakistan:

Women's rights in Pakistan' is a big question often raised in the West. It is believed that women have no rights or privileges in the male dominated society of Pakistan.
Before discussing whether women have rights in Pakistani society or not, first understand Pakistani society.
All citizens are equal before law and are entitled to equal protection of law.
There shall be no discrimination on the basis of sex alone"."No citizen otherwise qualified for appointment in the service of Pakistan shall be discriminated against in respect of any such appointment on the ground only of…sex…"

"Steps shall be taken to ensure full participation of women in all spheres of national life".
"The state shall protect the marriage, the family, the mother…"The state shall… [Ensure] that…women are not employed in vocations unsuited to their sex alone…"Constitution of PakistanArticles 25, 27, 35, 37
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person. Men and women of full age without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry or to have a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage and its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered in to only with the free and full consent of the attending spouses. The family is the natural and fundamental group, unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and state."
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 3 & 16.
According to Farkhanda Lodi; a spirited feminist writer and an ex-chief librarian at the Government College, Lahore says in an interview with The Daily Dawn, November 27, 2001:
"Man is a moment but woman is life."
All these beautifully constructed sentences take a180 degrees turn while considering the status of specifically 'women' in Pakistan. Our women still seem to be living in the dark ages. It is a matter of deep sorrow that being Muslims we have completely forgotten the status of women given by Islam. Annie Bessant in her book, 'The Life and Teachings of Mohammad (P.B.U.H)' says, "I often think that women are freer in Islam than in Christianity. Women are more respected by Islam then by the faith which preaches monogamy."

Islam was the first religion to recognize the equality of sexes and granted women rights unheard of 1400 years ago. Their other tragedy lies in the fact that what was highly progressive in those early days of Islam and which ought to have been kept in step with the changing of the realities of life through Ijtehad, was frozen in that position through retrogressive interpretation of religious edicts. In addition to that, male chauvinism and cultural taboos, some of them derived from the Hindu society have combined to keep our women down.

In Pakistan the story of a woman's deprivations start even before her birth, because the girl-child is not a particularly 'wanted' child. Her life is a journey of subordination. When she is young her father decides for her on matters ranging from whether she will get any education, to the all important matters of whom she would marry. After marriage, her husband and her in-laws get hold of her reins and decide matters on her behalf; like shall she or shall she not have a child every year, or whether she would produce only boys, or whether she can seek independent employment and so on. Finally when she becomes old and her husband gets weak or may have gone already, it is her son or sons who decide her fate in the declining years of her life. As if this is not enough, the whole society acts as an oppressor, browbeating her in to obedience. Thus, the word 'woman' in Pakistan is synonymous with 'endurance'. She is simply forced to accept certain bare facts of life once she grows up to be a woman. Be it on streets, or for that matter in restaurants, a woman is first and foremost required to be alert. It is best to try and not notice, women are told. According to Hina Jilani, Lawyer and Human Rights Activist, "the right to life of women in Pakistan is conditional on their obeying social norms and traditions."

In addition to that, women in Pakistan face all kinds of gross violence and abuse at the hands of the male perpetuators, family members and state agents. Multiple forms of violence include rape; domestic abuse as spousal murder, mutilation, burning and disfiguring faces by acid, beatings; ritual honour-killings and custodial abuse and torture. According to a report by Amnesty International released on June 15, 2000, several hundred women and girls die each year in so-called 'honor-killings' in Pakistan, in a backdrop to government inaction. She is killed like a bird in family feuds to create evidence of "illicit" connections and cover them under the garb of "grave and sudden provocation" to escape severe punishment. The practice of Summary-killing of a woman suspected of an illicit liaison, known as 'Karo Kari' in Sindh and Balochistan, is known to occur in all parts of the country. Kari's (the females suspected of illicit relationships) remain dishonored even after death. Their bodies are thrown in rivers or buried in special hidden Kari graveyards. Nobody mourns for them or honors their memory by performing their relevant rights. Karo's (the males suspected of illicit relationships) by contrast are reportedly buried in the communal graveyards. The promise made by the country's Chief Executive in April 2000, that all 'honor' killings would be treated as murders has yet to be converted into anything nearing reality.

Women who report rape or sexual harassment encounter a series of obstacles. These include not only the police, who resist filing their claims and misreport their statements but also the medico-legal doctors, who focus more on their virginity status and lack the training and expertise to conduct adequate examinations. Furthermore, women who file charges open themselves up to the possibility of being prosecuted for illicit sex if they fail to 'prove' rape under the 1979 Hudood Ordinance which criminalizes adultery and fornication. As a result, when women victims of violence resort to the judicial system for redress, they are more likely to find further abuse and victimization. As far as domestic violence is concerned, it is the most under-reported crime because it is generally condoned by social customs and considered as a private family matter.

A documentary titled 'Murder in Purdah'; a 28 minutes B.B.C production (1999) very effectively highlights the status of women in Pakistan, which is considered the citadel of Islam. It discusses candidly the forms of violence against women. The two main kinds of violence discussed are domestic violence, including burnings and disfiguring bodies by acid and ritual honor-killings. It also pinpoints the double standards of our police as majority of the women are put behind the bars under the Zina Ordinance. In this documentary when a question was put to a group of males of one of the Katchi Abadis of Mardan, that why do not they let their women go outside? The answers they gave reflected their myopic and narrow-minded ideas about women. The first respondent said that the Islamic teachings restrict them to do so and there are various dangers attached to a woman's life if she goes outside. The second respondent said that a woman's mind is weak and she can easily be swayed unlike a man. The third respondent interestingly was of the view that it will become a common habit if he will not stop his sister from going outside. These male chauvinistic answers emphasize the 'COM modification' of women whose role is limited to the four walls of her home and is not eligible to perform any fruitful task that might be of use in the development of the society.

The most emotional and sensitive portion of the documentary are the burnt women shown in hospitals. They are there as a result of the wrath of their husbands or the in-laws. The statistics of such reported cases were alarming. In a hospital whose name was not disclosed, seven to eight such cases per week were reported. The doctors were of the view that these women become easy victims at the hands of the males without any solid reason and only one out of ten women is fortunate enough to survive.

The documentary also stresses the fact that the principle reason as to why women become easy prey to the wrath of males is due to their low literacy rate. This low level of education in women is justified by the masses as being in accordance to the Islamic teachings. However, Islam gives equal right to both men and women to attain education. It is a sorrowful affair that our neighboring Muslim countries, especially Iran has excelled as a nation by giving equal opportunities to women in the sphere of education while remaining in their socio-cultural-religious parameters.
In a documentary titled 'Cyberspaces and Cultural Boundaries' (2000), ambitious women leaders from the Middle East and some parts of Africa have given their viewpoints about the new information technology at the turn of the 21st century, that has brought about immense opportunities for not only men but also women (especially for Muslim women) in their communities according to their cultural constraints. The idea promoted in this documentary by the Muslim women is not to change the culture of their countries to empower themselves but to be proud of what they have and bring some modifications in it by connecting to the developed cosmopolitan world. Bushra Jabre of Lebanon; proud of being an Arab Muslim in the documentary is shown using videos in her advocacy and training project to empower Arab women. She asks them to do their analysis in relation to the video shown of women who have reached to the top remaining within their cultural boundaries. She focuses not on women development alone like in the West. In every video a husband is shown as a believer and supporter. The idea is not to empower women over men but empowering women equal to that of men. Here the women are not asking for the impossible as the change is positive where both men and women have an equal role to play and work collectively towards socio-economic development.

Considering the present condition of Pakistani women even such positive development for them seems to be a far-off cry, as women there do not even have the right to own their bodies, being exposed to the traditional male control over every aspect of their bodies, speech and behavior with stoicism, as part of their Kismat (fate). Defiance of any sort translates into undermining male honor and ultimately family and community honor. Severe punishments are reported for bringing food late, for answering back or for undertaking forbidden trips etc. According to Sajida; a journalist in Lark Ana, Feb 1999, "women in Pakistan are killed like hens; they have no way to escape and no say in what happens to them."Information technology, which has been supported to a great extent by our present regime for the economic uplift of our country has the potential to improve the status of women as this is a kind of technology that is making it easier to be a woman at home than a man. Men, as we all know love to spend time outside the home, generally bragging about their feats, which may be little enough- but who cares? By contrast women are supposed to sit at home, taking care of it and tending to the children. The information technology however, is changing all that. Since it allows people to log on to their work while sitting at home and only coming in to their offices for meetings or for using confidential data that cannot be allowed to leave the office premises. This means that a woman may sit at home and take care of their children and between the naps, feeding and diapers, take breaks to get work done. But this is only possible when the women in Pakistan have the skills and the necessary expertise to use it. This needs to be started from the grassroots level, as two percent of the country's elite using this technology would not make much of a difference. The 'difference' is badly required in this age of global communication and the competitive 21st century, as who ever will have the access to this knowledge will be the winner. Unless and until women are given formal education, not only there would be no change in their status but also the country would suffer in terms of social and economic development. Women no doubt are the backbone of any society and according to Amartya Sen.; Nobel Laureate Economist, "Sustainable development cannot take place until women of a country get their due rights."

The role of media in Pakistan has also been lethargic in terms of improving the status of women. Pakistan television (PTV) plays have a crosscutting viewer ship, especially among women. However, plays mostly revolve around formula-based story lines, which cast women in either submissive roles or at the other extreme as westernized glamour girls. A recently conducted survey (2001) by a United Nations Development Programmed on 'Portrayal of women in media' indicates that the viewers' preferences are now tilting in favor of more gender-balanced portraying of women. The respondents of the survey feel that the negative stereotypical images of highly emotional and suppressed women should be reduced and downplayed. This is a sure sign of improvement in women's status, as it would leave a positive impact on the male members of our society regarding the productive role of women and who might then stop considering them as mere vegetables who have no say of their own. Thus, revolution is required in the thinking pattern of the male members to change the existing notion of power. The requirement in the present scenario is not to empower one gender over the other but a balance between the two genders towards achievement of joint goals, better society and better future for the upcoming generations by being proud of one's own culture.

The two ways through which this target can be achieved is firstly through proper commitment of our home media (TV, Radio Newspapers and Films) that has the power to mould public opinion and here the government's support has to be unconditional. The second way is the evolutionary process through which the mothers by being independent of religion, caste or creed can instill in their children from the very beginning that both the genders are important and 'honorable' and have a key role to play in the society. But the problem is that this is only possible when women are educated and supported by the government as equal and feeling beings to benefit from the latest technology and contribute efficiently to the country's uplift

How to Hit a Home Run

  Stay inward on the ball. In other words, keep your body weight leaning in toward the plate.
- 4
  
  Rotate your body instead of your head when you swing. As you swing, pivot on your back foot, transferring your weight steadily from back foot to front, and follow through with the bat. It should end up in the middle of your back. Remember that it's the speed of your swing and the muscle behind it that will send the ball over the fence.

This advice is inaccurate. First of all, hitting a homerun requires bat speed and the correct swing, not just strength, after all, a homerun is nothing more than a hard line drive that the hitter got under a fraction of an inch. This is done by getting your bat on the plain of the pitch and hitting the bottom half of the ball. Doing this supplys the necessary backspin needed to keep the ball in the air long enough to leave the yard. The best thing to do is to try and hit the ball hard and the homeruns will happen.

There are alot of good med's out there to "bulk up" that should help you attain the power to hit homeruns. Some people prefer female fertility drugs, but I suggest something like Turkish primo which is realatively inexpensive.
