Does our age change the context of understanding this word? Yes, it does, to know more about it, read further.

Childhood: When you are in schooling, you might have never gave one second time for health as you probably don’t require because most of the kids play and burn the calories more than what they intake and hence you will be fit all the time during childhood with an exception to the diseases incurred due to hereditary or accidents. You will be happy when you win anything how small it might be against your competitor.

Youth: When you are in the age of 16-26, your thoughts go around external pleasures and happiness. This is the age where you give importance to your relations and where you experience physical changes which may end you into a better person or a bitter person depending on your physical fitness and mental stability. This is the age where people neglect their health and get into troubles in later stage. I earnestly request all the youth to have fun filled and bright life and also try to spend sometime of your busy day in keeping your body fit and healthy.

Middle age [responsible family member]: You will be starting your family around the age of 28 and from this age your priorities change. You think of your family than yourself.

Old age: This is the most miserable age when seen from the view of human being’s health. If you want lead your life happy and peaceful at this age and then you take care of your health and fitness in previous stages. If you have neglected your health in your youth and in middle age, then you be prepared to face serious consequences and miserable pains and mourns that keep you busy in this age.

Some of the habits that people have do not only damage their own career but also the career of the other persons who are around them. Many of these habits can be broken or avoided but the first step to understand why this problem should be removed.

If alcohol has brought much enjoy to a man, it has also brought much suffering to the other family members as both economically as well as socially. This degrades the social status of the person and makes him socially irresponsible.

Drinking small amount now and then is not a big problem but addicting to that is a big problem. But generally small leads to large amounts and becomes an addiction. Drinking makes our life almost to half and affects all parts of the body like heart, kidneys, liver etc. This is one of the biggest problems in most of the poor countries and leads to unhappiness, violence and waste of all the money and life. When we are addicted to this problem we don’t care about anything and forget about all our responsibilities of our family. Once a person realizes that alcohol is harming the health and happiness of those around him, first he recognize that it is the reason for all the problems and he should take some bold step not to drink anymore and practice the ways in which he can control drinking and how to deviate from this on to other. He should interact with people of his community and get involved with the people who are not addicted and always try to make good friendship only which is the major reasons for starting of drinking.

We should also change the mindset of the people who think that drinking is not a big problem and try to convince them with the problems of that they have to face afterwards and always give good support for those who want to get out of this addiction.

In small children common causes of fits are high fever and severe dehydration. In very ill persons, the cause may be due to meningitis, cerebral malaria, or poisoning. A person who often suffers from fits may have epilepsy.

Epilepsy causes fits in people who otherwise seem fairly healthy. Fits may come hours, days, weeks or months apart. In some persons they cause loss of consciousness and violent movements. The eyes roll back. In mild types, the person may suddenly blank and behave oddly. It’s the common disease that children get in some inherited families or it may come from damage of the brain, high fever or tapeworms in the brain.

When a person gets fits:

Place a bit of wood, a key or a similar object covered with a clean cloth between his teeth, so he doesn’t bite his tongue.

Do not try to restrain him during a fit. Protect him from any danger like fire or hitting himself with something.

Clear the people around and make some around him to get him the fresh air.

If he vomits or splits, turn his head to one side so that he doesn’t choke.

After he recovers from fit, give him hot tea with plenty of sugar.
