Parents & Children

Hi Everyone!

It’s now approaching 1st June: Children’s Day. On the occasion of this holiday I would like to pay attention to today’s upbringing. In my point of view, now children are currently attempting to dominate their parents. What’s more they think they are the cat's whiskers and require to fulfill their desires. Unfortunately, as they get older, these wishes are increasingly sophisticated. 

According to experts, we should remember that, in the end, the deciding factor is consistency. As regards disciplining children, it takes also patience. It turns out that children naturally emulate their parents: it is necessary to set them a good example. I believe that be parent is the most difficult role in the world. Why? It require tremendous dedication, involvement, availability… It’s worth making it clear where the boundaries lie. In my point of view, mutual respect and tolerance are the most important factors for success.  

Do not forget about reward for the effort put in. What really makes children happy? Obviously they are big fans of suprises. However, it is also vitally important to galvanize them into action. 
What about you? Do you agree with me?

The whole world runs!

Today I would like to say a few words about really popular form of physical activity. Do you go jogging? I know a lot of people who are fascinated by this type of excercise. But... What's the trick that makes it so much trending? 

At first, it's worth realising that jogging differs greatly from running. According to web portal chron.com:

You might think running and jogging mean the same thing, but in fact they are actually different. The obvious difference between the two is the pace. Jogging is defined as going at a pace of less than 6 mph, while running is defined as anything faster than 6 mph. Other differences, including how your body burns calories and how your muscles react to the two exercises, define jogging and running.

Well, the diference between jogging and running is just intensity. If we go jogging regulary we have a lot to gain. It doen't refer only to this activity. In general, physical excercise and some changes to our diet have an important impact on frame of mind and healthiness. It has been scientifically demonstrated that physical activity helps to release endorphins: hapiness hormones. What conclusion would we draw from that? We should do excercise :)

Coming back to jogging, it offers us many benefits.That is why many people are  fervent runners. If you want to lose weight it's something for you. According to cardiologists, this type of exercise has a positive effect on circulation. What about persons who feel stressed and frustrated? Jogging permits them to relieve tension. Furthermore, it boosts our immune system, thus avoiding cold or flu.

Eat breakfast!

Hi Everyone!

The Harvard Medical School conducted a study which found that people who ate breakfast every day were 35% less likely to be obese. It needs to be recognised that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Unfortunately, many people, especially younger people, forget about benefits which breakfast provides. Not only does it give you nutrients you need in the morning, but it also is an excellent occasion to spend a few minutes with your family.

If you want to start your day off right I recommend you to eat a nutritional meal (e.g. a bowl of whole grain cereals with buttermilk or porridge with fruits and nuts). According to experts, when you eat a healthy breakfast, it can help lower your cholesterol levels and lose weight. What's more, they affirm that this meal provides you impoved concentration. You know that people who normally eat eggs for breakfast overweight than those who choose high fiber bread?

I believe that we should adopt some healthy and simple habits: one of these is eating breakfast. Today you have a wide range of breakfast possibilities and, furthermore, it isn't very difficult activity. So let's do it :)

Do you like grilling sausages? However, grilled chicken poses a hidden danger :) For Polish people eating is not a routine, it is something special. We take pleasure in grilling out and spending time with our friends and family. Unfortunately, this year the weather was very changeable with rain and humidity. Thereby, we had a chance to spend a few moments in the privancy of our own house. How can we use this opportunity?

I recommend you to read some inspiring and educational book, such a history or biography. I choose works which not only grab my attention from the start, but also teach me something about life.What is more, powerful message is a crucial factor in terms of the selection of an appropriate book.

You have a range of opportunities: the best use of your leisure time really depends on you. I encourage you to fill your free time with useful things. For instance, you can indulge your hobby: it's gives you a chance to expand knowledge and improve skills.
