MaximsNewsNetwork: MALAWI: MALNUTRITION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (UNICEF)

MaximsNewsNetwork: MALAWI: MALNUTRITION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (UNICEF) MaximsNewsNetwork: 08 October 2010 -- UNICEF: Malawi -- In Malawi, where malnutrition rates are high and nearly half of the children suffer from stunted growth, theUnited Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) and its partners help provide thousands of childcare centers across the country care for the country's disadvantaged children; for many of these children the school lunch may be their only meal of the day. This center is one of thousands across Malawi aimed at making sure that the countries many AIDS orphans and disadvantaged children get off to the best possible start. Every month a health worker comes to weigh the children. They're all community projects so everyone including the teachers are volunteers. The centres are, in many ways, like nursery's and kindergartens around the world. It's a place to sing, dance and to make new friends. But to thrive in class the children need to be healthy and so vegetable gardens form an important part of the centres providing both extra food and a source of income. Born into poverty and with just one parent, five-year old Leviticus goes to Chiteta childcare center every morning.

Cdc Reinstates Travel Alert for Toronto

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reinstated a travel alert for Toronto, Canada, because of reports of new possible cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).





CDC lifted the travel alert on May 20, 2003, because more than 30 days (or three SARS incubation periods) had elapsed since the date of onset of symptoms for the last reported case. However, on May 22, Canadian health officials reported a cluster of five new probable SARS cases, which led to today’s reinstatement of CDC’s travel alert for Toronto.





In response to the outbreak of SARS, CDC has issued two types of notices to travelers: advisories and alerts. A travel advisory recommends that non-essential travel to an area be postponed. A travel alert does not advise against travel to a particular area, but informs travelers of a health concern and provides advice about precautions they can take to reduce their risk of exposure.





CDC is again recommending that U.S. travelers to Toronto take precautions to safeguard their health. These include avoiding settings where there has been evidence of transmission of SARS, such as health care settings. CDC does not recommend the routine use of masks or other personal protective equipment while in public areas.





Global Migration and Quarantine officials from CDC will again be distributing health alert cards to travelers returning to the United States from Toronto. The cards outline the symptoms of SARS and recommend that people returning from Toronto monitor their health for 10 days and alert their physician if they develop a fever or respiratory symptoms, such as a cough or shortness of breath.





CDC also recommends that travelers to Toronto practice careful hand hygiene – a first line of defense for reducing an individual’s risk of a variety of infectious diseases, such as SARS. As a general rule, CDC recommends frequent hand washing with soap and water. If hands are not visibly soiled, alcohol-based hand rubs may be used as an alternative.





Anyone planning travel to Toronto should be aware of the current SARS outbreak, stay informed daily about SARS through various Websites

The Importance of Good Facial Skin Care

We've all heard the statement "put your best face forward". While this refers to how we should act in times of adversity, it's also good advice for daily living. After all, isn't your face the first thing most people notice about you? The problem is that many of us use the wrong products as part of a facial skin care regimen and get less than optimal results, meaning we're often putting much less than our best face forward. And who wants that?

Natural Skin Care Solutions Are A Great Way To Save Face

Millions of Americans use various products to care for their face and skin but can actually be doing more harm than good unless they opt for natural skin care solutions. Over previous years more and more mainstream consumers have taken up an interest in more natural products. Natural products available today include flora based cleaning products, toothpastes, skin creams, and more. There are a variety of reasons why it is important to avoid toxic chemicals whenever possible.
Natural skin cream and other toxin free products have increased in popularity since people have taken interest in "going green." Everyone knows that aerosol cans are a tremendous problem for the environment. Aerosols and plastics are just a couple of the more obvious eco killers, but there are many more. The majority of the world is unaware of the thousands of other toxins in everyday products that can a have a devastating impact on the natural environment.
Triclosan, used in many products that claim to be antibacterial, is an example of one of the thousands of hazardous chemicals that we use in abundance. It is classified as a pesticide and is incredibly hazardous to humans in large deposits. This product is used so extensively in home and personal cleaning products that it has slowly began to infiltrate the environment, all the way down to showing up in our food sources. Spending a dollar more to get a natural skin cream seems like a pretty good deal when information like this is taken into consideration.
Of course, the fact that gallons of these chemicals pollute the world and its wildlife, including us, is just a part of the problem. Many chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate, mineral oil, and even rubbing alcohol can have terrible effects on the human body when used in large quantities. These chemicals are linked to a number of fatal diseases like cancer, and a lot of us use them every single day. This is the reason it is so important to check into all the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, skin moisturizer, and hand soap. The findings of such research can be quite shocking.
Thousands of common cleaning ingredients have been linked to cancer. Even more are linked to serious diseases of the major organs. We all need to do a bit of homework before settling for the most glamorous or cheapest thing on the shelf. Attractive labels or thrifty price stickers do not guarantee your safety and should not be the sole deciding factor in your purchase.
Some of these toxins are used so often and in so many products that unnatural amounts of them are showing up in our natural ecosystems. However, simply switching to a natural skin care product or a plant based cleaning solution can greatly reduce your interaction with these dangerous chemicals. Intelligent shopping can significantly reduce the amount of chemicals that you are exposing yourself and your family to each day.
