Seven simple habits for a Happier and Positive Life:- In the midst of our hectic lives, where we juggle work, family, and a multitude of tasks, we often find ourselves unable to partake in the activities we truly enjoy. This leads to a sense of irritability and negativity that permeates our days. It is crucial, then, to pause and take a moment to prioritize our own happiness. By incorporating positive daily habits into our routines, we can transform our dull existence into one that is more fulfilling and joyful. If you are someone who is seeking to enhance your overall well-being, take a moment to explore the following daily habits that have the power to bring more happiness into your life: Start your day with a smile: What better way to begin your day than with a smile? Instead of reaching for your phone as soon as you wake up, take a moment to smile at yourself in the mirror. Though it may feel a bit strange at first, this simple act sets a positive tone for the rest of your day. Keep a gratitude journal: One highly effective habit is keeping a gratitude journal. Before going to bed each night, take a few minutes to jot down three things that you are thankful for that day. These can be anything from a delicious meal, a kind word from a colleague, or even the beauty of a sunset. By focusing on the small things that bring a smile to your face, you can cultivate a sense of appreciation for the little moments of beauty that surround you. This practice will bring contentment and happiness to your life. By celebrating the good in life, we can shift our perspective and cultivate a positive mindset. Instead of fixating on perfection, which only adds stress and unhappiness, learn to embrace imperfections in yourself and others. Recognize that mistakes are a natural part of growth and that life's beauty lies in its flaws. By accepting imperfections, you release yourself from unnecessary pressure and invite positivity into your life. Connect with the natural world to uplift your spirits and foster a sense of connection. Take a break from technology and spend time outdoors, whether it's a leisurely stroll in the park or simply sitting in your backyard. Even just a few minutes a day can rejuvenate your mind and remind you of the simple pleasures that nature offers. Remember, it is often the simplest things, like the beauty of the natural world, that bring us the greatest joy. Make kindness a daily practice by offering kind words, lending a helping hand, or holding the door for someone. These small acts of kindness not only bring happiness to others but also elevate your own spirits. By making kindness a habit, you not only contribute to the well-being of those around you but also cultivate a sense of fulfillment and contentment within yourself. Treat someone to a cup of coffee. Reduced usage on Mobile Devices: In today's era, individuals spend countless hours fixated on their mobile screens. This often results in strained relationships with those around them. Excessive usage can also lead to stress, negativity, and comparisons. To combat this, limit your social media consumption. Set specific times to check your phone and disable notifications to minimize interruptions. By doing so, you will have more time to focus on the things that truly matter in your life. Self-Nurturing: The importance of prioritizing self-care cannot be overstated. Even in the midst of a hectic schedule, it is crucial to make time for yourself. Make your physical, emotional, and mental well-being a priority, as it directly impacts your overall happiness. Set aside a portion of your day for activities that bring you pure joy and relaxation. Whether it's reading a book, taking a leisurely bath, or going for a stroll, discover what rejuvenates you and makes you feel content. By doing this, you will be able to lead a more fulfilling and healthier life.

The smaller particles enter into the pharynx where the mucus can trap them. It is either through the spat out in the form of sputum and they get digested by stomach juices. Some of the inhalations of the air is also taken by mouth and this too travels through the pharynx which comes with a protective mucosal layer. Mucus has antibodies and it also consists of lysozymes and they help in degrading pathogenic microbes. Some of the particles still make it to the alveoli.

Over 90% Of World's Children Open To Toxic Air, Says WHO November 01, 2018 12:45

Over 90% Of World's Children Open To Toxic Air, Says WHO:- Day-after-day around 93 percent of the world's children under the age of 15 (1.8 billion children) breathe contaminated air that puts their health and growth at serious risk, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a new report that puts into numbers the annihilating impact that air pollution is having on the global population's health. According to WHO's report, tragically, many of these children die, with as many as six lakh estimated to have perished in 2016 alone due to complications from acute lower respiratory infections caused by dirty air. The report on air pollution and child health released on the eve of the WHO's first-ever global conference on Air Pollution and Health on Tuesday unveils that when expectant women are open to the polluted air, they are more probable to give birth prematurely, and have small, low birth-weight children. Air pollution as well as impacts neurodevelopment and cognitive ability and can trigger asthma, and childhood cancer. Children unprotected to high levels of air pollution may be at greater risk for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease later in life, the WHO said. "Polluted air is poisoning millions of children and ruining their lives," said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. "This is inexcusable. Every child should be able to breathe clean air so they can grow and fulfill their full potential." One reason why children are in particular vulnerable to the effects of air pollution is that they breathe more rapidly than adults and so absorb more pollutants. They also live close to the ground, where some pollutants reach peak concentrations - at a time when their brains and bodies are still developing. Additionally, newborns and small children are frequently at home. If the family is burning fuels like wood and kerosene for cooking, heating, and lighting, they would be exposed to higher levels of pollution. "Air pollution is stunting our children's brains, affecting their health in more ways than we suspected," Dr. Maria Neira, director, Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health at WHO, said in a release accompanying the report. "WHO is supporting the implementation of health-wise policy measures like accelerating the switch to clean cooking and heating fuels and technologies, promoting the use of cleaner transport, energy-efficient housing and urban planning. We are preparing the ground for low emission power generation, cleaner, safer industrial technologies, and better municipal waste management," Dr. Neira added.
