In the later part of 20th Century Dr. Phenfield was once experimenting over brains of different epileptic patients. He found that when specific area of brain is electrically stimulated, its reaction is seen at a specific organ. He continued experiments and made calculations regarding how much part of brain is reserved for a specific organ and came to conclusion that most of it is reserved for arms then legs and then mouth. He also interpreted that more importance is given to arms and legs because they convey huge amount of information about external environment to brain.
Skin - Skin of your baby is not just an external covering, it is the largest organ of his body with immense functioning ability. It contains about 4 million pain sensors, 0.5 million touch sensors and about 0.2 million temperature sensors. It can identify and differentiate millions of textures. What one can see with eyes can be equally sensed with skin. This skin plays a vital role in brain development of your child. So what you can do to get the maximum benefit -
1. Once your child is old enough, let him wander almost naked. Let him sense cold, warm, lukewarm naturally.
2. Allow him to handle objects of different texture. eg. cotton, wood, steel, animal skin etc
3. To get good amount of oxygen supply to his skin make him exercise regularly.
4. Massaging and Caressing do help a lot.
5. Pay attention to general health of skin. If you observe any patches, rash - consult physician.
6. Diet containing all the essential vitamins especially vit.A, vit.C, vit.E and trace elements like Zinc are equally essential for maintaining the skin healthy.
Though Skin is external and most superficial organ, its roots are deep in the developing brain.01. Plan your health : Revealing the concept

Though one third of our life goes on sleeping only, yet a question which arises frequently in our mind is, how much sleep we really need? Commonly we see that young babies sleep for 17-18 hrs, children 9-10 hrs and adults 7-8 hrs. But really speaking not only the quantity but quality of sleep is important. Because we see many people around who are fresh and active with 5-6 hrs sleep, while many feel tired even after 9-10 hrs sleep.
How much sleep one needs depends on several factors including inherited genetic need, sleep hygiene, occupation etc.
There is no doubt that sleep is indispensable and essential for -
1) Performance - As intellectually challenging tasks are learned more effectively after a good sleep.
2) Mood - Inadequate sleep is frequently associated with irritability.
3) Health - Sleep deprivation, in future may lead to various health problems like hypertension, obesity etc.
Normal sleep also enhances normal growth in children as well as repairing cells and tissues.So are there any ways to improve quality of our sleep?
- Stick to the daily schedule of going to bed as far as possible.
- Do relaxing activities like listening music before going to bed.
- Avoid smoking, alcohol and heavy meal before bed time.
- Avoid strenuous exercise 5-6 hrs before sleep.
- Avoid reading or watching T.V. while in bed.
- Taking a hot bath which reduces body temperature is a good idea.

Do you recall ten of your favorite personalities and why they are so? Probably the most common answer will be, there was something in their nature which made you feel close to your heart. We all know beautiful body is only for the time being, it is the beautiful mind which is everlasting. Do you really wish to cultivate the same in you - just think over these things....
Understand emotions - Many a times it happens that we are frustrated or sad and absolutely speechless, still our dearest one recognizes that something is wrong with us. Stalwarts say, before reacting imagine yourself in other person's place. And for that you will have to keep aside your ego.
Be a good listener - For a good and healthy communication listening is as important as speaking. Contrary to common belief, listening should be an active process where you not only pay attention to others but also take interest in what he is saying.
Flexible thoughts - We all have our own beliefs and principles. But it does not mean, we should shut down doors of our mind. By keeping them open we can allow fresh breeze of new ideas to flow through and through which will keep our mind ever young.
Sense of humor - It is quite easy and natural to comment on and make fun of others. But if you see qualities of great people, most of them are able to laugh at themselves even in public. Such thing will keep our face and mind always smiling.
Respect space of others - Life is not always about making merry. Introspection at regular intervals is very necessary and for that you need a bit loneliness - space and so does others.
Be sensible - There are persons who make others happy just by virtue of their company. For that, first you have to be sensible enough. Then people in your vicinity will get attracted to you, as such persons are always wanting and being loved!

Is there any difference between muscular body and strong body? A person with good economic condition but little knowledge of dietics is likely to eat so called nutritious food which probably makes him muscular but not strong enough.
Besides balanced diet Yoga and Exercise are the two basic things which makes a strong and thereby healthy. But we people even after understanding importance of exercise, always give excuses of not having time, stress and strain at work, at house, festivals etc. But if we look at those persons who daily make fixed time for minimum exercise, then a question arises whether they were not having these problems? So to keep equilibrium among Mind, Body and Soul there cannot be excuses, all we need is a very strong determination.
It's a myth and absolutely false conception that, to make body strong we have to go to gym and spend thousands of bucks. There are ample of options available regarding exercise, right from Suryanamaskar upto Pranayam which will not cost you a single penny. Only thing is that, there should be consistency in whatever you do. Brisk walking is one such option and can be tried by everybody.
As exercise is superior to diet, so the mind is to body. We should provide appropriate exercises to our mind and cultivate rich values like selflessness, honesty and optimism. Being social, having good friend circle, participating in festivals do nurture our mind. Music, Dance and Sports do help a lot. Meditation and Introspection are really good exercises for mind.
A person with sound body and sound mind will not only be healthy but also successful in life. Society needs such people who will also make the nation strong.

In today's era of rat race pure healthy life has become a rarity; from coryza to cancer and from anxiety to depression, problems are increasing day by day.Every now and then we are running from post to pillars, from doctor to doctors in search of the perfect solution for our disease.
