HEALTH

Health and peace of mind are among life's greatest treasures. Must of us may enjoy a fuller degree of physical health and none need lack of mental peace. The fact is obvious that on every hand we find suffering and disease, people are afflicted with all kinds of ailments, among which cancer, diabetes and diseases of the heart and blood vessels rank high. Increasing demand is made on the hospital services. As we become aware of the prevailing condition, we might well ask how can we avoid serious illness?
    A disease condition developes when we do not maintain health, disease is the absence of health. Thus, the physician combats disease, not so much by concentrating on the disease itself, as by seeking to restore health. It is recognized that the right approach to the problem of curing or avoiding disease, is to concentrate on restoring or maintaining positive health. Generally speaking, the same rules she follows in order to maintain health, her patients must follow in order to regain health though they will need to adhere even more strictly to nature's rules during the period of restoration. Any injurious habits should be corrected, so that bodily health is restored to the point where disease germs are simply unable to flourish.
     But we can build our health, with proper nutrition. The greatest single factor in promoting and maintaining health is proper nutrition. Without that disease is sure to appear. Right food forms the foundation for health while poor food forms poor nutrition.
There are many other factors to be considered, which includes exercise, fresh air, proper clothing, personal hygiene, and mental peace,but good is the greatest single factor.

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away.

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

A good sign is that swelling increases, initially it can be pushed back manually into the body. Later on, it gets bigger still and lies almost permanently outside the body, especi...
