बच्चों की इम्युनिटी बढ़ाने के नुस्के और रेसिपीज
अक्सर माँओं को हम कहते हुए सुनते हैं कि मेरा बच्चा काफी जल्दी-जल्दी बीमार पड़ता है, मौसम या माहौल के बदलते ही बीमार हो जाता है। लगता है कि शायद मेरे बच्चे की रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता कम है या कम होती जा रही है।आखिर ऐसा क्या है इस इम्युनिटी सिस्टम (रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता) में जिससे हमें इसकी इतनी अधिक जरुरत बचपन से लेकर जीवनपर्यन्त तक पड़ती है।
कई बार हम खुद भी देखते हैं कि समान परिस्थिति में भी कुछ बच्चे अक्सर जल्दी बीमार हो जाते है तो वहीं कुछ बच्चे अच्छी रोग प्रतिरोधक शक्ति होने की वजह से लम्बे समय तक बीमार नहीं होते है।
इसके पीछे का कारण यह है कि हमारे शरीर के आस-पास हर समय बैक्टीरिया और वायरस मौजूद होते है और हमारे शरीर की मजबूत रोग प्रतिरोधक शक्ति (इम्युनिटी सिस्टम) इन खतरनाक बैक्टीरिया और वायरस से हमारे शरीर की रक्षा करती है। इसलिए रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता बढ़ाने के उपाय जानना बहुत जरुरी हो जाता है खासकर बच्चों में क्योंकि बच्चे शुरुआत से मजबूत बनेंगे, स्वस्थ रहेंगे तभी तो मजबूत देश व भविष्य का निर्माण होगा।
वैसे तो रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता (इम्युनिटी सिस्टम ) हर रोग के खिलाफ लड़ने में मदद करती है। लेकिन कभी कभी इसके कार्य करने की क्षमता कम होती चली जाती है जिस वजह से रोगाणु, बैक्टीरिया और वायरस पीड़ित बच्चे के शरीर में प्रवेश करने लगते है और वो गंभीर बीमारियों का शिकार होने लग जाते हैं।
हमारे शरीर की रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता कई चीजो पर निर्भर करती है जैसे कि हमारा खान-पान और हमारी जीवनशैली। आज हम आपको रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता बढ़ाने के उपाय और स्वस्थ जीवनशैली से संबंधित कुछ ज़रूरी जानकारी देने वाले हैं जिन्हे जानने के बाद आप सजग होकर बच्चों के इम्युनिटी सिस्टम का सही और संतुलित विकास कर पाएंगे:
इम्युनिटी सिस्टम मजबूत बनाने के लिए कुछ उपाय
१. स्तनपान कराने से बेहतर होती है रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता
मां का दूध जिसे बच्चे के लिए लगभग अमृत समान माना जाता है। यह बच्चे के इम्यून सिस्टम को मजबूत बनाने में काफी अहम भूमिका निभाता है। इसके अंदर इम्यूनिटी को चार्ज कर बच्चे को मजबूत बनाने के सारे गुण मौजूद होते हैं। साथ ही इससे बच्चे को संक्रमण, एलर्जी, निमोनिया, दिमागी बुखार, मूत्र मार्ग में संक्रमण की समस्य़ा और शिशु मृत्यु सिंड्रोम के खिलाफ लड़ने में मदद मिलती है।
साथ ही कई अध्ययनों में यह बात भी सामने आई है कि मां का दूध बच्चे के दिमाग की शक्ति को बढ़ाने और मधुमेह, कोलाइटिस और कैंसर तक से रक्षा करने में मदद करता है।
इसलिए हर मां को अपने बच्चे को करीब 6 माह तक अपने स्तनों से निकलने वाला गाढ़ा पीला दूध जरूर पिलाना चाहिए। इससे बच्चा काफी मजबूत बनता है और छोटी-मोटी बीमारियां अगर उसे होती भी हैं तो बहुत कम होती हैं और बहुत जल्दी ठीक भी हो जाती हैं ।
२. बच्चों को बाहर खेलने जरूर भेजें
छोटे बच्चों को पूरा दिन घर में ही न रखें हमेशा ऐसी या बंद घर में रहने से भी बच्चों की रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता पर बुरा असर पड़ता है क्योंकि कभी फिर उन्हें जब बाहरी वातावरण का सामना करना पड़ता है तो वो तुरंत बीमार पड़ जाते हैं। छोटे बच्चों को रोज़ पार्क में जरूर ले जाएँ,खुली हवा और मिट्टी में उन्हें खेलने दें अन्य बच्चों के साथ घुलने मिलने दें ये सब गतिविधियां भी बच्चे के इम्यून सिस्टम के विकास में अहम् भूमिका निभाती हैं। बच्चों को हर तरह के वातावरण में रहने की आदत होनी चाहिए इससे उनका शरीर और इम्युनिटी मजबूत बनते हैं।
३. बच्चों के साथ कसरत करें उन्हें सक्रिय रखें
हमेशा के लिए अपने बच्चे को फिट बनाना है तो हमें भी उसके लिए सक्रिय होना होगा। उसके लिए सबसे जरूरी है कि हम बच्चों के लिए उनके रोल मॉडल बनें। पहले खुद व्यायाम करें और बच्चों को भी अपने साथ खेल-खेल में कसरत शुरू करवाएं। इससे बच्चों में एक अच्छी आदत तो पड़ेगी ही जिससे वह हमेशा तंदरुस्त बने रहेंगे।
इसके अलावा कई शोधो में ये बात सामने आई है कि नियमित कसरत करने से कोशिकाओं की संख्या में भी इजाफा होता है। वैसे आप चाहें तो एक्सरसाइज की जगह पर अपने बच्चे को साथ टहलने , स्केटिंग, बास्केट बॉल और टेनिस आदि में भी शामिल कर सकते हैं।कसरत और खेलकूद से बच्चों की रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता पर बहुत सकारात्मक असर पड़ता है।
४. बच्चों में साफ़-सफाई से रहने की आदत शुरू से डालें
जब भी बाहर से खेल कर या घूम कर आयें तो बच्चों में हाथ-मुँह-पैर धोकर कपडे बदलने की आदत जरूर डालें और पहले ये आप स्वयं करें क्योंकि बच्चे आपको देखकर सीखते हैं इसलिए जब आप ये नियमित रूप से करेंगे तो वो भी जरूर सीखेंगे।उन्हें खेलने-कूदने दीजिये पर घर आकर हाथ धोने को कहना मत भूलिए, इसी तरह से टॉयलेट के बाद, खाना खाने के पहले और बाद में भी अच्छी तरह से हाथ धोने की आदत भी बच्चों को अवश्य सिखाएं।ये साफ़-सफाई की आदतें भी बच्चों को स्वस्थ रहने में मददगार होती हैं और जो भी कीटाणु ,बैक्टीरिया आदि वो अपने साथ खेलने-घूमने के दौरान ले आए थे वो सब धोने से ख़त्म हो जाते हैं।
५. बच्चे की नींद पूरी हो इस बात का ध्यान रखें
छोटे बच्चों को ज्यादा से ज्यादा नींद की जरूरत होती है। आपका बच्चा ज्यादा छोटा है तो उसे ज्यादा नींद की जरूरत है । वहीं अगर थोड़ा सा बड़ा है तो उसे 10 से 12 घंटे की नींद लेना बहुत जरूरी है। अक्सर देखा गया है कि नींद ना पूरे होने के कारण बच्चों की इम्युनिटी पर असर जरूर पड़ता है ।वो कमजोर हो जाते है और फिर ज्यादा बीमार पड़ते हैं। ऐसे में बच्चे के इम्यून सिस्टम को मजबूत बनाने के लिए उनकी नींद का पूरा ख्याल रखें। अगर बच्चा दिन में नहीं सो रहा है तो उसे रात में जल्दी सुला दें।
६. बच्चों को सही और संतुलित आहार दें
शुरूआत से ही बच्चे को फल और सब्जियां खिलाने की आदत डालें। याद रखें कि छोटे बच्चे ज्यादा सक्रिय होते हैं इसलिए बच्चों को ज्यादा से ज्यादा फल और सब्जियां और तरह-तरह के पौष्टिक आहार खाने के लिए देने चाहिए । क्योंकि फल और हरी सब्जिय़ों जैसे गाजर, हरी बीन्स, संतरे, स्ट्रॉबेरी में विटामिन सी होता है और ये कैरोटीन युक्त भी होते हैं। इनमे बच्चे की इम्युनिटी को बढ़ाने वाला तत्त्व होते हैं।
कई शोधों के अनुसार ये बात सामने आई है कि हरी सब्जियां और फलों में रोगों के खिलाफ हमारी रक्षा करने की ताकत होती है। इसलिए एक दिन में अपने बच्चो को कई बार में फलों और सब्जियों,दूध,दही,मीट,हरी सब्जियां,अंडे को उनकी भूख के अनुसार खिलाने का प्रयास करना चाहिए। क्योंकि ये सभी बच्चे की इम्युनिटी को संक्रमण से लड़ने के लिए मजबूत बना सकते है।
७. टीकाकरण(वैक्सीनेशन)
बच्चों को उनके जन्म के तुरंत बाद से टीकाकरण करवाना आवश्यक है ये टीके बच्चों की रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता तो बढ़ाते ही हैं साथ ही में कई रोगों से बच्चों की रक्षा भी करते हैं। इन टीकों में से प्रमुख टीके हैं जिन्हे हर बच्चे को लगवाया जाना जरूरी है और उनमे से कुछ प्रमुख है : बीसीजी(BCG) , टीटी ( TT ) , हेपेटाइटिस-बी ( hepetitis - B ), मीसल्स ( Measles ), ओरल पोलियो वैक्सीन (Oral Polio Vaccine ) इत्यादि।
छोटे बच्चों के लिए आसान एवं स्वास्थ्यवर्धक रेसिपीज़

My Story of Bonding With My Baby for the First Time
For the first time I was holding my baby ...the moment was something which I could never express in words, a feeling which was very special though I was very careful while holding her because I was afraid as I didn't wanted to hurt her. I slightly bent down to her ears and made a promise to her that she will never be alone till am alive. I promised her that let it be any situation I will always be there for her. I was recovering from c-section as well. And a new phase was starting for both of us.. everything went well. We came to home and celebrated her homecoming ceremony with friends and family. Then the day came when she was about to get her first vaccine, and I was very nervous about that. I went to the hospital with her waiting for my turn. When the nurse called my name my heart skipped a beat. I was afraid..tensed and worried at the same time. This was something very new feeling for me. I want inside and the nurse took away her from my hands. That very moment I started feeling incomplete without her. Then the doctor went to another room for her vaccination, I heard her cry and I too started to cry with her. I went to the room and was about to take her again in my arms but the doctor asked me to wait and he started discussing something with the other doctor. I was not able to listen to what they were saying as I desperately wanted my baby in my arms again. Then the doctor came to me and said that they need a blood test to be done for knowing the bilirubin level in my baby's body. I didn't know what this was for but it shattered me. I was wondering what are they exactly going to do with her. Are they really going to draw blood from her tiny little body? And what if she will be diagnosed with something? Again I was sent outside the room and again I heard her crying. But this time I was just praying to God that she should be well. The bilirubin level was high in her blood so the doctor asked us to get admitted in a hospital for three days. And they started the phototherapy with her. For three days my eyes didn't close even for a moment. I was just sitting next to that machine (or whatever it is called) continuously watching her sleeping in that thing. I do remember my mother scolding me and asking me to take rest as it was just sixth day of c-section. But I could not think anything except her. That day I felt a bond with her which I had never felt in my whole life. The love for her was felt and it was immense. That day I realised why people say that being a mother changes your life completely and you forget who you were before this but you just have your baby in your priorities list.

Can Assisted Hatching Improve the Chances of IVF Success?
Couples who have considered IVF would have been introduced to the term assisted hatching. Many clinics offer assisted hatching as a part of their IVF treatment at a certain cost or include it as a free option if they believe that it can be beneficial. Although the procedure hasn’t shown to increase the rates of live birth, it is recommended by many clinics. If your doctor has suggested it to you, here is some information about assisted hatching that you should know.
What is Assisted Hatching?
The embryo before fertilisation starts as an egg or an oocyte. All eggs are surrounded by a protein shell that is known as the zona pellucida. Before the egg becomes an embryo, a fusion of the zona pellucida with a sperm cell at the beginning of the fertilisation process needs to occur. After the first sperm cell gets through the zona pellucida to fertilise the egg, the shell becomes hard and impenetrable to prevent the rest of the sperm cells from penetrating to the fertilised zygote. The shell hardening also ensures the embryo doesn’t implant in the fallopian tube prematurely. It also keeps the dividing blastocyst cells safe as they make their way to the uterus.
The zygote continues to develop into a mass of cells called a blastocyst as it travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Throughout this process, the zona pellucida continues to thin out and expand, and eventually deteriorates. Around the fourth day of travel, the deteriorated shells crack open similar to an egg so the blastocyst or embryo can emerge. The thin zona pellucida is left behind completing the hatching process of the embryo. A few days after hatching, the blastocyst proceeds to implant itself to the uterine wall or endometrium. Without the hatching process, blastocysts cannot implant themselves into the uterine wall. This may result in failure of the pregnancy.
Fertilisation in IVF treatments occurs inside a lab and women who have undergone IVF treatment know that having a fertilised embryo doesn’t mean pregnancy is guaranteed. The transferred embryo has to implant or “stick” successfully into the endometrium for them to get pregnant. It is seen that about 85% of transferred embryos do not implant. One of the reasons for this is that the embryos do not hatch properly, hence fail to implant. It could happen due to various other factors such as the shell being unusually hard, or factors like the cultures for the embryos or the cryopreservation chemicals could have interfered with the hatching.
The role of assisted hatching during IVF treatments is to aid in the process of embryo hatching, so the chances of implantation are increased.
Who Can Benefit from Assisted Hatching?
Assisted hatching was developed when it was observed that embryos with a thinner zona pellucida had higher rates of implantation in IVF treatments. Keeping that in mind, the procedure is useful for:
Women over 35 undergoing IVF treatment.
Couples who have had repeated failures at pregnancy after a few IVF cycles.
Embryos where a distinctively thick zona is observed by the embryologist.
What Are the Methods of Assisted Hatching?
The main idea behind assisted hatching is to make a tear or breach in the zona pellucida. Several methods are employed to do this that are mentioned below:
1. Mechanical Hatching
This is the most basic of all procedures where the embryo is kept steady using a pipette. A micro-needle is used to puncture the zona pellucida. The puncture is done in a way that the needle goes through the shell tangentially beneath the shell to make an opening. The region between one end of the puncture and the other is carefully stroked until a small tear occurs. Although the procedure is simple, controlling the tear in this method is difficult.
2. Physical Expansion of the Zona Pellucida
In this procedure, the shell of the embryo is not torn or ruptured mechanically. It is manipulated to undergo a process of expansion which would occur in all shells naturally. The expansion is done through the introduction of a hydrostatic pressure under the shell using a fine needle which causes the zona pellucida to expand.
3. Chemical Hatching
Chemical hatching is a procedure slightly different from the mechanical methods of rupturing the zona pellucida. In this procedure, small amounts of a chemical called Tyrode’s acid is introduced over the shell until it is breached. The embryo is then quickly cleaned to remove the acid to avoid any unnecessary exposure.
4. Drilling
With the drilling technique, microscopic vibrations are focused on the shell to make a conical opening. Vibrations are generated using a method derived from Piezo technology.
4. Laser-assisted Hatching
Laser-assisted hatching involves the usage of a laser device to make an extremely precise opening in the zona pellucida. Since lasers are used, it is possible to have extremely precise control over the size of the breach in the shell. It is the most effective and safest method as compared to all the above procedures. However, many clinics are not equipped with this technology.
Assisted Hatching Procedure
Here is what you need to know more about the assisted hatching procedure:
Assisted hatching came about around 1990 as a way to improve the chances of implantation during IVF treatments.
The procedure is performed three days after fertilisation when the embryo has had a few days to develop.
Assisted hatching involves opening up the zona pellucida which covers the embryo by thinning or rupturing it.
Various techniques are used in the hatching, and some procedures involve dissolving the shell using an acid mixture. A fine needle or laser technique is used to break open the shell.
The procedure involves the use of advanced instruments such as microscopes, microscopic tools, and robotic assistance for the micromanipulation of the minuscule embryo.
The hatched embryo is transferred into the woman’s uterus a day after the procedure.
Antibiotics and steroids may be administered to reduce complications.
Possible Risks
Since the procedure involves manipulation of the embryo and interference with its natural developmental process, there are some assisted hatching ivf risks involved with the procedure. The major risk factor associated with the procedure is that the embryo could sustain lethal damage. It could occur at any time before or after the embryo transfer, the result of either case being a failure of pregnancy.
Twinning is another risk associated with assisted hatching, specifically the monozygotic type. Monozygotic twins, most commonly referred to as identical twins are born out of single egg and sperm. IVF treatments typically have an increased chance of twinning and added to that, hatching might elevate that risk further. Although most multiple pregnancies are risky, pregnancies with monozygotic twins have a greater risk to both the mother and the baby.
Birth defects are another risk factor tied to assisted hatching and many wonder if it increases the chances of the defects. Studies have shown that assisted reproductive technologies carry with them an increased risk for nonchromosomal birth defects. However, the risk of congenital disabilities did not significantly increase in embryos which had procedures such as assisted hatching performed on them, in comparison to other IVF treatments that did not use assisted hatching.
What Is the Cost of Assisted Hatching in India?
Being one of the most commonly used procedures, the cost of laser-assisted hatching in India can range from INR 15,000 to INR 30,000 depending on the fertility clinic.
Although assisted hatching is a procedure that was developed as a way to improve the chances of implantation, nothing can be said about its efficacy. Several factors go into the success of the procedure such as the method used by the clinic, experience level of the embryologist, and the conditions of the embryo.

PCOD and Depression - Not the End of the World, My Life Then and Now
Hi everyone.
Today I wish to write about how my life changed before and after discovering that I had PCOD.
Let me tell you that PCOD is not the end of your life. In fact, I struggled and came out of the depression that comes along with PCOD.
As you must be aware that polycystic ovarian disease can sometimes change your life for the worse.
Let me start from the time when I was in school. I had very shiny, smooth and clear skin. No pimples, no health issues. A very healthy teenager.
One day I noticed very minute pimples all over my forehead. I applied many anti allergic and antifungal ointments. Nothing happened. Day by day those minute pimples kept spreading all over my face, back and neck. Pimples were so many and extreme that my skin was barely visible. I did visit n number of doctors. Kept having medicines too.
None of the renowned doctors suggested a hormonal imbalance. Three years passed and I visited a doc in Lady Harding college. I took a few tests and medicines for a year. Everything changed. My pimples were gone.
I got married at 30. Planned baby at 31 but failed to conceive. Started having problems with periods so I visited a gynaecologist.
I was told that I had PCOD.
As a teenager when I was having acne issues, that was the first symptom of having PCOD.
I was slender always. No other symptom I ever noticed. Regular cycles.
Second symptom was at 31 when I had a bulging tummy and gastric issues.
Nobody ever bothered to get me tested when I was young. We must look for symptoms and visit doc in case there are some noticeable changes in the body.
In my case, people thought that acne is just a phase and nothing serious.
Anyway.
I read about it. Searched every website. I was devastated when I realised that having a baby will be a 50-50 chance. And some never have that chance at all.
I used to cry myself to sleep. Fights every day with husband. And family pressure was bad. People were talking things about us. I changed my eating habits. Nothing seemed to work. Praying to God helped in maintaining peace of mind.
Now What I Did Learn in That Phase
Stop eating junk food. Two or three morsels once in a blue moon won't hurt though.
Discard non-stick utensils. No plastic in everyday use. Use steel utensils. No microwave.
Eat healthy. Vegetables and fruits.
Lots of moong daal. Soup also helps.
Two bananas everyday.
Coco water everyday on an empty stomach.
Sesame seeds and walnuts do wonders. Eat everyday.
Wash cereals a lot than pressure cook.
Include lots of turmeric powder.
Flax seeds and various nuts and berries are a must to eat.
Eat preservative-free food. No canned food. No packaged juices.
Kiwi and strawberry are "power fruits".
Dates and figs should be included in your daily diet.
No curd and pickles at night.
Do pranayam and butterfly asan daily. Walk for 30 minutes daily.
Pray.
Take ur medicines religiously.
It helped me in getting rid of PCOD and a stressful personal life. I was able to conceive after 7 months.
I have a charming little boy of 8 months now.
I wish you all good luck. PCOD Is not the end of life.

Here's What You Can Do for Healthy and Glowing Skin
I had dry and sensitive skin. Although I used a lot of skincare products on my face, nothing helped. After a lot of experimentation and trying out different products, and listening to the suggestions of my friends and relatives, I realised how important it was to stick to the basics. By following a few simple tips, I noticed changes in my skin. Below are some tips you should follow if you want glowing skin.
Choose the Products According to Your Skin Type
Market is flooded with different types of skin care products. You will find different beauty products for different skin types, and that might leave you confused. You must select wisely. I love herbal products as they are natural and don't have side effects. So opt for the products that are good for your skin type.
Limit the Use of Face Wash
Using face wash does remove dirt and excess oil from the face, but frequent use of face wash may irritate your skin and make it dry. So, avoid using face wash excessively. If you want to wash your face, use plain water.
Don't Forget to Moisturise
A skincare routine is incomplete without moisturising. So, do not skip it. A good moisturiser will keep your skin hydrated and keep the skin hydrated. It improves the texture of the skin, reduces fine lines and keeps it glowing.
Use Sunscreen and Carry an Umbrella
To prevent the damaging effect of sun it's important to protect your skin with sunscreen and umbrella. Use sunscreen with an SPF value of 30 or more. Sunscreen can help protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
Drink Plenty of Water
Water keeps you hydrated and can remove toxins from your body. Our body is made of around 50% to 70% of water. Loss of water can cause constipation and other health issues as well. So stay hydrated! These tips will help you get glowing skin. Just by following basic steps you can get healthy skin. Go for the products that suit your skin type. I hope these tips will help!\

I used to read to the little one sometimes and made listen to soothing music. I even danced which was relaxing and enjoyable. Being a health coach, eating healthy was my first priority and I did follow the same. Excercise and yoga were part of my everyday activity and I didn't skip even one day without doing. Walking and talking was our routine, too. I had two small and sweet baby showers. Me and my husband loved our baby when it was inside my tummy and continue to shower with loads of love after the baby is out too ❤️
Shopping, preparing hospital bag, thinking of cute names ( of course we kept guddu as pet name so we were communicating through that name), preparing for post delivery..Ahhh..9 months got over and tada we were blessed with little princess ❤️🥰💞 I must say she dint trouble me when in tummy and not much during delivery too !
The pregnancy journey is only for 9 months but the journey as a mother is forever, the journey that never ends !💛💙💛
I have gone through so many ups and downs for the 9 months but the joy of the little one's growth inside me overcame everything !!🤩
I have always enjoyed music, dance and reading books which has helped me throughout my pregnancy !!
