Health benefits of cereal

http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_health/~3/clPtOrBiE1w/index.html

        Hi everyone,I read an article about the health benefits of eating cereal.who would have imagine that cereal would be a meal that can prolong ones life.Although I usually take cereal but not every morning.However,I bought this cereal called ''roast flakes' which is full of sugar,I did not enjoy eating it,and I trashed the remaining cereal.Now that I have knowledge of its health benefits.I will start eating it every morning.Moreover,I will advice those who hate foods that contains high fiber to consider eating cereal because of some dreadful diseases such as cancers,inflammation and obesity.Additionally,if some of us can take bitter pills every morning due to illness then what stops us from taking cereal every day.Also think about this medical saying ''prevention is better than cure''.

Maternal Death

http://www.npr.org/blogs/goatsandsoda/2015/03/15/392886495/how-far-has-the-health-of-moms-come-since-1995?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=science                                             

   Hi everyone,I read this article about the rate at which women have lost their lives during child birth and it sounds alarming.I think women are also occupied with the whole house works such as cleaning,sweeping and cooking which could be very stressful.Moreover,the pain women go through child birth is beyond word description.In countries like Indian and Nigeria where the rate of maternal death are high,some certain measures should be put in place such as providing skilled attendants at birth,ensuring free maternal care for everybody and providing health care facilities in all the states.However,poverty rate in countries like Indian and Nigeria could also lead to child death during birth or maternal death.I could remember what happen to my friend in Nigeria;when she was in labour ready for child birth,her husband struggled to take her to a general hospital.When they got to the hospital,they were told that there is no bed so they can't take them in.Hence,the husband manage to get a taxi for the wife who was in pain but before they could get to another hospital due to the heavy traffic in the city of Lagos;the woman gave birth to a dead child inside the car.There are countless of stories of how women have either lost their child or their lives as a result of improper care.In addition,women should be given maternal health education both formal and informally on what to eat and do during the period of pregnancy.

The Risk of Hearing Loss

http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_health/~3/W7ZGmeec6Xg/index.html
                                                                                                                                                 
     Hi everyone,I read this article about how to listen to music in a safe way in order to protect your ear.What really caught my attention to read on was the statement in the article ''Once you lose your hearing, it won't come back''. I love listening to loud music but this piece of advice in this article will go a long way in changing my habit of listening to loud music.Most youth listen to loud music often despite the warning of its negative effect such as going deaf.I think educating the youth about the risk of loosing their hearing will go along way to minimize the rate at which many youth lost their hearing yearly.I could also imagine the pain most youth  may be going through now or later as they age.However,they say ''prevention is better than cure''.Listening to music and turning down the volume is better than listening to loud music and end up suffering from tinnitus, an illness in which you hear noises,especially ringing in your ear.

While Indian's girls are aborted,brides are wanted.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/03/world/asia/india-freedom-project/index.html
                                                                                                                                                                           
         Hi everyone,I read this article because I found the title ''While Indian's girls are aborted,brides are wanted'',so funny.I wonder why the Indian's northwestern states will keep on aborting innocent children.Meanwhile as I read through the lines of the article about a schoolteacher called Narinder,who could not find a bride because of two reasons;poverty and the outnumber of boys over girls.I think that he should have endured for a little while,work harder to make more money and move to another state in search of a bride; instead of contacting an agent to find him a bride from another state to help is family.On the other hand,most of these agents are involved in human trafficking.
       
      Furthermore,the increase rate of crime such as rape and human trafficking in Indian is clearly as a result of women being outnumbered by men.The painful stories of young Indian girls like Jaida, Halida who were rape and the two sisters;Tasleema and Akhleema who were sold out at a tender age, should have prompted the Indian government to have a more strict law about aborting babies, especially in the northwestern states where it is common.In addition,the rate of illiteracy in the northwestern states could also be linked to the idea of aborting babies because of their gender differences.I think the idea of aborting babies because of their gender differences will soon be a thing of the past if we as human being choose to accept babies the way they are and as a gift from God and not for our selfish reasons.
