ARE MY KIDS WATCHING TOO MUCH TV? By Brianna Siciliano Television is a great source of learning and entertainment for children, but too much television may not be healthy. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under the age of 2 do not watch television, and that children around the ages 2 through 6 only watch one to two hours of television a day. Is this realistic? Yes. Do most families fol low this recommendation? Probably not. Media sources are everywhere today. No matter where you are, you most likely have a television, tablet, or smart phone handy, and with those sources of electricity come games, videos, and more. Past generations grew up without all of these media sources, keeping busy with building blocks and their imaginations, and they turned out fine. Limiting television time is not a terrible course of action to take. In some cases, limiting the television shows your child watches is a better solution than limiting the time your son or daughter watches TV. While there are television shows that represent great messages like shar ing with others and learning educational lessons in a fun way, there are also dangerous shows that promote fighting and violence. Research shows that children who are entertained by violence and fighting become desen sitized over time, causing them to brush off the seriousness of bullying. Other outcomes of watching violence are increased anxiety, fear, aggres sive behavior, sleep deprivation, and attention and academic problems. If your child is using his or her limited television time to watch violent shows, than there is no benefit of limiting his or her TV time. Instead, it might be best for you to add child blocks to your television and make it impossible for young ones to watch harmful shows. Spice Recovery Spices can do a lot more than add pizzazz to your cooking. They offer many health benefits and help in healing. By Mia Ingui Cinnamon Cinnamon is actually one of the most powerful healing spices, and has become most famous for its ability to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. As little as 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon a day could cut triglycerides and total cholesterol levels by 12 to 30 percent. Cinnamon can even help prevent blood clots, making it especially heart smart. Cinnamon has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It's been shown to conquer E. coli and other types of bacteria. Cloves Have a toothache? Put a couple of whole cloves in your mouth. Let them soften a bit, then bite on them gently with good molars to release their oil. Then move them next to the painful tooth and keep them there for up to half an hour. Clove oil has a numbing effect in addition to bacteria-fighting powers. Coriander The herb can be helpful for some people with irritable bowel syndrome, as it calms intestinal spasms that can lead to diarrhea. Preliminary studies in animals support another traditional use for coriander—as an anti-anxiety herb. Its essential oil appears to fight bacteria, including E. coli and salmonella. It's also being studied for its potential cholesterol-reducing benefits and has been shown to lower cholesterol in animals.
