Kitten Care: Must-Know Tips for Raising Kittens When it comes to raising kittens, the philosophy is pretty similar to that of bringing up children. If you provide proper care and training when they’re young, it increases the odds they’ll grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted adults. So if you recently adopted a kitten, start incorporating this advice as soon as possible. MJ the kitten. 1) Don’t Treat Your Kitten Like an Adult Cat Just as a human infant has vastly different needs than a teenager, a kitten will have care requirements distinct from those of a fully matured cat. In addition, you should consider a kitten’s various stages of development when caring for her: Under eight weeks of age.  At this early age, a kitten should still be with her mother and litter mates.

Raising a Puppy: Things to Consider Puppies are little bundles of energy who are often intensely curious about their surroundings. Life with a puppy is not that different from life with a human toddler—you'll need a lot of patience as you watch over your pup to keep him out of trouble, instruct him in appropriate behavior and safely teach him about the world. The good news is that puppies sleep a lot, although they don't always sleep through the night, and your pup may wake the household whining and barking to express his displeasure at being left alone. Puppies are also driven to chew a lot as their adult teeth come in, and may see the doggie version of a teething ring in the living room rug, the couch, your favorite pair of shoes and even your hand. If you become frustrated with your new pet, it's important to remember that the task of raising a puppy is temporary. He'll be all grown up by his first birthday, and he'll leave most of his puppy tendencies behi

Eating a variety of foods and consuming less salt, sugars and saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, are essential for healthy diet. A healthy diet comprises a combination of different foods. These include: Staples like cereals (wheat, barley, rye, maize or rice) or starchy tubers or roots (potato, yam, taro or cassava). Legumes (lentils and beans). Fruit and vegetables. Foods from animal sources (meat, fish, eggs and milk). Here is some useful information, based on WHO recommendations, to follow a healthy diet, and the benefits of doing so. Breastfeed babies and young children: A healthy diet starts early in life - breastfeeding fosters healthy growth, and may have longer-term health benefits, like reducing the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing noncommunicable diseases later in

Horse gram recipes If you are wondering how to consume it, here are two suggestions. You can follow Sadhguru’s advice and instructions and sprout the seeds, or try the yummy soup if you feel like having a hot dish. Sadhguru:  Many European stomachs may not be able to digest horse gram so it is good to sprout it, which makes it more easily digestible. Put the horse gram in a white cloth, soak the cloth in water for about six to eight hours, and then keep it closed. In about three days, the seeds will sprout. If the sprout is about half an inch out of the seed, you can eat it raw. It takes a lot of chewing and eating, and it is very good for the system. Horse gram tends to increase heat in the body. If you feel too much heat, you must balance it by eating sprouted green gram, which cools the system. Horse gram soup aka Ulavacharu Ingredients Horse gram : 1/2 cup Tamarind paste : 2, 3 teaspoons Pepper corn : 1 spoon Cumin seeds : 1 spoon Mustard seed : 1/2 spoon Curr

Risks & side effects of oil pulling Possibly the greatest risk of oil pulling is using it to replace time-tested treatments. For example, some believe that they can replace tooth-brushing sessions with oil pulling. "I am unfamiliar with any direct risks associated with oil pulling, but using it as a replacement for brushing would definitely increase your risk of getting cavities," Brady told Live Science. "The oil won't remove plaque or reduce bacteria enough to make a difference. You have to brush your teeth, mechanically removing plaque to protect your teeth." Also, since oils specifically for use in oil pulling (not food-grade oils) are not tested by an independent source for purity, they can contain harmful additives. For example,  Harvard Medical School  found that one out of five Ayurvedic herbal medical products produced in South Asia and available in Boston South Asian grocery stores contains potentially harmful levels of lead, mercury and/
