Paki Friendship - Talk to your father to be happy

Do you want to know the secret to happiness? Well kids, just talk to your dad, said a research study.

Researchers at the University of York have found that children who regularly talk to their fathers are happier than those who do not -- the findings are based on an analysis of the British Household Panel survey into 1,200 young people all aged between 11 and 15 years.

Young people who said they talked seriously to their dads "most days" gave themselves an 87 per cent score on a happiness scale compared with 79 per cent for those who said they hardly ever spoke to their fathers in this way.

Nearly half of young people -- 46 per cent -- said that they "hardly ever" spoke to their fathers about important topics compared with 28 per cent who hardly ever spoke to their mothers about the things that matter most.

Only 13 per cent confided in their father "most days", 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.

The study, commissioned by Children's Society, showed that young people talk less to their fathers about important issues, as they get older. The data showed 42 per cent of 11-year-olds did so more than once a week compared with 16 per cent of 15-year-olds.

The analysis suggested there has been little change over the years with the same proportion -- 30 per cent -- of young people talking to their fathers about something that mattered to them more than once a week in 2007-08 as in 2002-03.

Paki Friendship - Filthy utensils putting people’s lives at risk

Filthy and unclean utensils have put the health of scores of people at risk, especially those consuming food from different outlets, including hotels and kiosks.

There is a need to introduce a new law that should force vendors and owners of hotels to use disposable pots in their food outlets and temporary stalls in the twin cities.

According to a survey conducted, most of the juice centres and outlets serving common food items in markets lack proper arrangement to wash utensils thus making customers quite vulnerable to viral diseases.

“The vendors selling fruit chat have only one bucket full of water and they dips and rinses used utensils into it and even do not bother to think how it would pose health risks to his customers, the survey report said.

It is quite ironic that food outlets being run on temporary or permanent basis are mushrooming in every nook and corner across the country, but number of health officers and food inspectors are gradually decreasing, as there are only two food inspectors in the capital city to keep vigil over unhealthy practices of food vendors and stall holders. “Water in which vendors wash utensils sometimes carries particles of broken food, but they continue to wash steel plates in it despite knowing the fact that such practice would pose severe threats to lives of their customers,” a visitor at the commercial market told.

Doctors said if vendors wash their utensils in fresh water even then threat of viral diseases cannot be ruled out because cracks in food pots become ‘house of germs’ and it is near-to-impossible to remove these germs through a simple wash.

A healthy lifestyle in middle- age can help to ward off Alzheimer’s disease, experts have advised.

Keeping trim, regulating blood pressure and lowering cholesterol can all reduce the risk of developing the devastating condition---Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, said: “Diet and lifestyle almost certainly plays a part in every person’s Alzheimer’s risk.

“These factors remain a magnet for research because they could offer relatively inexpensive ways to fight a disease that ruins countless lives.

“By taking regular exercise and eating a healthy diet, especially in mid-life, we may help reduce our risk of developing dementia as well as reaping numerous other benefits from living a healthy lifestyle.”

An estimated 820,000 people in Britain are thought to suffer from dementia, of which Alzheimer’s is the most common form.

Paki Friendship - Six ''perfect parenting'' myths revealed

Six ''perfect parenting'' myths revealed Perfect parents trying hard to meet their children’s every need may be doing more harm than good, claims a book.

Sydney psychologist Renee Mill said that parents are exhausted and stressed while trying to fulfill every demand of their kids. In her new book, ‘No Sweat Parenting’, Mill has listed out six “perfect parenting” myths.

She writes that this is in a well intentioned but misguided belief that quality time means sitting on the floor playing whatever game their child wants.

Other myths include that parents must be perfect; firm discipline will quash a child’s self-esteem; parenting and adult life have to be conducted separately; parents cannot deprive their kids of material goods; and that parents have to shield children from any problems or disappointments in life.

Mill insists that, with these myths, parents are bringing up a generation of kids believe they are the centre of the universe. "We are growing monsters," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted her as saying.
