Help your Kids put their best foot forward…

ATTENTION Parents !!

Where is the Nutrition ??

The young generation of today, our children, are facing a serious health challenge.

Lavish, indulgent lifestyles, poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and emotional stress are taking its toll of our children’s health. The problem is growing day by day and becoming increasingly visible – highly obese children, obsessively slim children, poor eyesight, tooth decay, depression amongst teenagers, drug and alcohol abuse, emotional disorders, etc. It is no longer an urban phenomenon, this trend is more and more evident even in smaller Indian cities and towns.

What Has Gone Wrong ?

Most of the health challenges that our kids face today are a result of regular and continuous NUTRITION ABUSE. Improper, inadequate nutrition during growing years, poor awareness, too much of high fat, high calorie junk foods – has gradually deprived our children of the right to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Wake Up Call : Our Kids Are Prone To Lifestyle Diseases

According to WHO , World Bank and Harvard School of Public Health by 2020 AD, 3 million Indian children will be affected by non – communicable lifestyle diseases – obesity, eating disorders, hypertension, juvenile diabetes, type II diabetes, heart disease – previously seen only in adults. We are parenting an extremely unhealthy and disease prone younger generation.

The situation is GRAVE. As parents we have to wake up to the facts and act fast to nutritionally secure our children’s future or a bleak unhealthy future awaits them !

Nutrition Gone Wrong : The Fact File

1 out of every six teenagers in India is overweight

In Delhi alone, 3 percent of overweight teenagers are diabetic and as high as 35% teenagers suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension).

53 percent of children between 10 and 14 years and 45 percent between 15 and 19 years snack on fatty, salty and sugary junk foods every day.

25 percent of adolescents from high / middle income households have high blood cholesterol, an important reason why heart disease is striking Indians at younger ages.

11 – 18 year old children are increasingly complaining of cavities, bleeding gums and poor dental health.

Too much TV, Internet and bad reading habits have resulted in 15 – 20 percent of teenagers wearing glasses.

40 percent of schools going children suffer from anxiety disorders , stress and depression.

Cyanoacrylate adhesive - accidental bond with the skin

Bond between the cyanoacrylate adhesive and the skin is created very quickly, so there is no point in rushing to pull skin apart "before it bonds". Just remain calm and take your time. 

Cyanoacrylate adhesives are rapid curing, strong bonding agents that will bond human tissue and skin in seconds. Experience has shown that accidents due to cyanoacrylates are handled best by passive, non-surgical first aid. Cyanoacrylates work best with tension. Pulling bonded materials apart (fingers included) will strengthen the bond. Cyanoacrylates have the lowest strength in a peel mode. 

Debonders also release the cured adhesive. Contact us for more details on de-bonders.

Treatment of specific types of accidents are given below:

With the Skin: Immerse bonded areas in warm soapy water. Peel or roll skin apart. Peel the skin apart with a spatula, teaspoon handle or a pencil by pushing it between the bonded areas. Remove cured adhesive with warm, soapy water. This may take several applications. Acetone or a Debonder is also effective in removing cured cyanoacrylate off of skin. 

With the eyelid: If the eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball wash them thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. There will be no residual damage. Do not try to force eyes open. 

With the Eyeball: Cyanoacrylates adhesives will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours. This will cause periods of weeping and double vision until cured adhesive is cleared. 

With the mouth: If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply copious amounts of warm water and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva inside the mouth. Peel or roll, (do not pull) lips apart. It is almost impossible to swallow cyanoacrylate. The adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva (moisture) and could adhere to the inside of the mouth. Saliva will lift the adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing the adhesive after detachment.

Cyanoacrylates give off heat, exothermic reaction, when curing. In rare cases a large quantity can cause a burn. Burns should be treated normally after the cured adhesive is removed from the skin as described above. It should never be necessary to surgically remove cyanoacrylates or to separate bonded skin.
