        When green hand parents embark on the road of parenting, they often feel overwhelmed by how to raise a newborn. In fact, baby’s intellectual development can be improved by a few daily behaviors. 1. Touch Baby’s Feet         The baby’s metabolism is strong, and the capillaries and peripheral nerves of foot skin are abundant. Therefore, massage is conducive to enhancing the peripheral circulation of the limbs, promoting the blood circulation of the foot and the whole body, which is beneficial to growth and development, disease resistance and cold tolerance.         Tips: Hold baby’s leg and roll them up and down, rubbing the ankles and soles of baby’s feet at the same time. 2. Touch Baby’s Hands         Touching fingers can stimulate the baby’s perception ability. At the same time, the coordination ability and grasping ability of babies can also be exercised.         Tips: Hold the baby’s small arms with both hands and start rolling them up and down, and gently flick the baby's wrists and small hands. Under the premise of ensuring that baby’s hands will not injured, massage with the thumb from the palm to the fingers. Be careful not to put pressure on the joints. 3. Touch Baby’s Tummy         As babies lack a sense of security, frequent stroking of their little tummies will make them feel comfortable, thus helping them to sleep well. Daily physical communication with the baby in this way also helps to enhance the parent-child relationship and can effectively reduce the baby’s crying.         Tips: The index and middle fingers move in turn from the baby’s lower right abdomen to the upper abdomen to the lower left abdomen, drawing a semicircle in a clockwise direction. Be careful to avoid the umbilicus of the newborn. 4. Touch Baby’s Back         Regularly stroking your child's back can speed up blood circulation and allow for better qi and blood flow, which has a calming effect and helps your baby fall asleep as soon as possible, while also promoting spinal development.         Tips: Massage from the back of baby’s neck toward the lumbosacral area with two hands.Then gently massage the muscles on both sides of the spine with  fingertips from the neck to the lumbosacral area again.         To sum up, parents should pay more attention to the baby’s reaction when touching them, and choose the right force and technique to massage.

        Nowadays, many parents give their children expensive health care products or antibiotics in order to improve their children’s immunity. However, the healthiest way is to cultivate their children’s good living habits to improve their immunity. 1. Balance the Nutrition         If parents want to enhance their baby’s immunity, pay attention not to give your baby refined processed food that are high in oil and sugar. Parents can prepare more natural foods and vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals for babies. When adding non-staple food after the baby is 4 months old, the first thing to try is rice flour and wheat flour. After weaning, the alternative food is also cereals. Whole grains are rich in germ and polysaccharides, vitamins B and E. These antioxidants can enhance immunity and strengthen the function of immune cells. 2. Drink More Water         Drinking more water can keep the mucous membrane moist and build an important defense line against bacteria. Remember to bring a water bottle when taking the babies outdoors, so that they can drink whenever they are thirsty. Be sure to give your baby boiled water, and a variety of sugary drinks are not advisable. 3. Take More Exercise         Children who like sports tend to be in good health and have strong resistance. In fact, children’s sports habits can be cultivated from an early age, and sports can be penetrated into every detail of life. Before the baby learns to walk, parents should clean up a safe environment and encourage the child to lie down and climb more. After the baby learns to walk, parents can allow the baby to walk and run as much as possible. On weekends, take your children to parks with fresh air and beautiful environment nearby. Let children understand that exercise is as important as eating and sleeping. 4. Get Regular Test         Parents had better record the baby’s daily milk drinking and sleeping time from the day the baby was born, and strive to cultivate a regular daily routine as the baby grows up day by day. 5. Have Good Hygiene         Parents should pay attention to training their children to form good hygiene habits, especially before and after meals, they should let their children wash their hands to prevent diseases from entering from the mouth. 6. Massage the Skin         Massage causes a series of benign reactions of the nervous, endocrine and immune systems of the whole body through mild stimulation of skin senses, which can promote the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones, help to increase the baby’s food intake, promote food digestion, absorption and excretion, and accelerate weight growth. At the same time, the massage can also activate the baby’s whole body muscles to make the body grow stronger. In addition, skin irritation has a direct and indirect impact on enhancing the immunity of babies, which is beneficial to the healthy physical and mental development of newborns.

1. Pay attention to replenish soup in summer In summer, water loss is relatively fast, and sodium, potassium and other minerals will be discharged with sweat, so children should supplement more soup in summer. When supplementing water, it is recommended that children eat more fruits, or supplement with soup, and eat a small number of meals. However, parents should not let babies drink too much boiled water, because excessive water may cause water poisoning. 2. Summer parenting needs protein Children’s physical development is fast, and protein is essential. In the high temperature environment, the loss of protein becomes larger and the decomposition becomes faster, so it is easy for babies to have insufficient protein intake in summer. Mothers should pay attention to supplement protein with milk, eggs, soy products and meat. It is recommended to ensure an appropriate daily intake of milk and eggs. 3. Eat more fruits and grains to supplement vitamins There are more vitamins in coarse grains, and vitamin C, B1 and B2 are the most lost in perspiration. Parents can let babies eat more fruits, coarse grains, and vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C, Vitamin B1 and vitamin B2, which are necessary for babies’ healthy growth. 4. Beware of spoiled food Summer food is easy to rot, so the remaining food should be immediately put into the refrigerator. Besides, parents should try to control the amount of cooking as much as possible, so that children can eat fresh vegetables for every meal. Pay attention to cook the food for a second time, because the refrigerator will also produce harmful bacteria, only after thoroughly heated can play a bactericidal effect, otherwise will cause food poisoning, thus leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction of children.  In order to kill bacteria in refrigerated food, the food should be heated to above 75 °C before eating the next day ( the broth must be boiled for 3 minutes ). 5. Be careful of cold drinks Young babies’ greed for cold drinks will have a bad effect on their delicate gastrointestinal, which will make the oral cavity, gastric mucosa vasoconstriction, affecting the local blood supply and gastric juice secretion, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and loss of appetite and other symptoms. Therefore, parents should pay attention to allowing children to eat an appropriate amount of cold drinks, so as not to cause digestive disorders and nutritional disorders in children. 

1. What is the flu? Flu is short for influenza, which is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses. Influenza A and B viruses are the main causes of human infection and seasonal epidemics. The antigenicity of influenza viruses is variable and spreads rapidly. 2.  How does the flu spread? Influenza patients and latent infections are the main source of seasonal influenza infection. Influenza is transmitted mainly through droplet, but also through direct or indirect contact with mucous membranes such as the oral, nasal cavity and eyes. Clusters of epidemics are more likely to occur in crowded places.      3. What are the symptoms of the flu? Sudden onset, with symptoms such as high fever, body pain, fatigue, bronchial inflammation, but the respiratory symptoms are mild. When babies have the flu, they have a decreased or no appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. They have a poor mental state and no energy to play. 4. How to prevent the flu?   (1) Influenza vaccination. It is the most effective way to prevent influenza and can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and serious complications. (2) Frequent hand washing. It is one of the simplest and most important measures to prevent the spread of influenza. Wash your hands immediately after returning home, after touching public goods, after sneezing or blowing your nose, before and after touching your mouth, nose and eyes, before eating and after using the toilet. (3) Wear a mask. Influenza patients are the most important source of infection. If someone in your home is infected with influenza, it is recommended to isolate as much as possible, especially to reduce contact with children and the elderly. When contact is necessary, you can wear a mask to reduce the risk of infection. 5. What should we do if we got the flu?   (1) Go to the hospital promptly .Patients and their accompanying staff should wear masks to avoid cross infection. (2) Avoid going outside. Try to avoid going to public places as much as possible and avoid close contact with people around you. Wear a mask if you really need to go out.

1. Raw Food Raw foods, such as Japanese Sashimi, raw beef, medium rare steak and so on, should be avoided before and during pregnancy.Although fruits and vegetables can be eaten raw, they need to be washed thoroughly to reduce pesticide residues and pathogen contamination. 2. Pickled Food The sodium content of pickled foods is so high that excessive intake is not conducive to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, but also the risk of hypertension-like diseases during pregnancy. Pickles, salted fish, bacon all contain high nitrite and benzopyrene and other harmful substances. Therefore, the intake should be controlled and not eaten as much as possible. 3. Canned Food Although the loss of protein and minerals in canned food is relatively less, there is a partial loss of vitamin C and vitamin B. Women during pregnancy preparation should not rely on canned food for a long time, but try to eat fresh vegetables, fruits and meat. 4. Coffee Women during pregnancy preparation should drink coffee moderately with limited amounts, and the daily caffeine intake should not exceed 200 mg. Since high caffeine intake during pregnancy may increase the risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, premature delivery and so on, it is necessary to avoid freshly brewed espresso coffee and high-caffeine energy drinks once pregnancy is confirmed. 5. Tea A cup of tea contains about 40 to 50mg of caffeine, which can be drunk normally. However, it should be noted that some pregnant women who are addicted to tea should avoid chewing tea, because the tannin in tea can affect the absorption of iron.

Some people think that babies who use air conditioner will suffer from facial paralysis and air-conditioning disease. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this viewpoint. The so-called “facial paralysis” is mostly caused by virus infection, such as otitis media, and is not caused by local cold or air conditioning. As long as the use method is appropriate, the baby can also enjoy the air conditioner. In fact, it is not difficult for the baby to use the air conditioner without getting sick. There are some tips may be helpful. 1. Moisturize and Maintain Air Circulation If the air conditioner is used in an enclosed space for a long time, the air will be dry, the oxygen concentration will be reduced, and the virus will breed too fast. At this time, parents should open half a window in the air-conditioned room to keep the air flowing. If the humidity drops below 40%, a humidifier can be used. 2. Set Appropriate Temperature of the Air Conditioner The temperature of the air-conditioned room is recommended to be kept between 25℃ and 28 ℃. If the baby feels hot, it can be adjusted according to the actual situation. No matter how much the temperature is set, do not let the wind blow at the baby directly. 3. Wear Moderate Clothes for the Baby When sleeping at night, feel the temperature behind the baby’s neck with your hands. If it feels warm, there is no need to wear too many clothes for the baby. 4. Pay Attention to the Temperature D ifference when entering and leaving the air conditioning room with the baby, in addition to not setting the temperature too low, parents can also open the doors and windows to maintain a certain convection, giving the baby a little time to adapt to the temperature change. 5. Dry the Baby After S weating Sometimes the baby is sweating profusely and feels uncomfortable when entering the air-conditioned room. Before entering the air-conditioned room, parents should let the baby keep sweating for a while and then change into dry clothes.

        International Children’s Day (also known as Children’s Day) is celebrated on June 1 every year, with the purpose to commemorate all the children who were killed in the Lidice Massacre of June 10, 1942 and in the war around the world, so as to fight against the killing and poisoning of children and safeguard their rights.         In August 1925, the concept of International Children’s Day was first put forward at the International Conference on the Welfare of Children held in Geneva, Switzerland. At this conference, child-friendly representatives from 54 countries gathered in Geneva, Switzerland, for the International Conference on the Welfare of Children, which adopted the Geneva Declaration on Safeguarding Children. In the declaration, discussions have been carried out on the spiritual enjoyment of children, the relief of poor children, the avoidance of dangerous work for children, the access of children to livelihood opportunities, and how to save and raise children.          Although the conference has proposed the concept of “International Children’s Day”, it did not stipulate the specific date of Children’s Day. Therefore, since the conference, governments of various countries have successively set their own “Children’s Day”, but the date is different in varied countries.         In November 1949, the Women International Democratic Federation held a council meeting in Moscow, where representatives of China and other countries angrily exposed the crimes of imperialists and reactionaries in various countries who brutalized and poisoned children. The meeting decided to designate June 1 of each year as International Children’s Day. It is celebrated to guarantee the right to survival, health care, education and custody of children in all countries of the world, so as to improve the well-being of children, and to oppose child abuse and poisoning of children. Therefore, many countries around the world have designated June 1 as Children’s Day.

       The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the theme of its global campaign for World No Tobacco Day 2022 is “Poisoning Our Planet #Tobacco Exposed”. The campaign aims to raise public awareness of the environmental impact of tobacco cultivation, production, distribution and waste. This will give tobacco users an additional reason to quit. The campaign will also expose the tobacco industry’s efforts to “green-wash” its reputation and products by promoting itself as environmentally friendly.         The harmful impact of the tobacco industry on the environment is vast and growing adding unnecessary pressure to our planet’s already scarce resources and fragile ecosystems. Tobacco kills over 8 million people every year and destroys our environment, further harming human health, through the cultivation, production, distribution, consumption, and post-consumer waste.         The tobacco industry’s annual greenhouse gas emissions are equivalent to 84 million tons of carbon dioxide, which exacerbates climate change, reduces climate resilience, wastes resources and destroys ecosystems. Besides, approximately 3.5 million hectares of land are destroyed each year by tobacco cultivation. Tobacco cultivation leads to deforestation, especially in developing countries. Deforestation for tobacco cultivation contributes to soil degradation and reduces the ability of the land to support the growth of other crops or vegetation.         With about 90% of tobacco production concentrated in developing countries, the impact of tobacco on different socioeconomic groups is highly uneven. In low- and middle-income countries, many farmers and government officials view tobacco as a cash crop that can generate economic growth, but the short-term cash benefits of the crop are completely offset by the long-term consequences of increased food insecurity, often persistent indebtedness of farmers, disease and poverty, and widespread environmental damage in low- and middle-income countries.       The tobacco industry also invests heavily in “green-washing” its environmentally damaging practices, including reporting environmental impacts and funding corporate social responsibility programs and organizations in the environmental field. Their smokescreen does work due to a lack of objective data and limited and inconsistent legislation at the international and local levels.        It is of great need to identify tobacco consumption reduction as a key lever for achieving all of the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore the World No Tobacco Day campaign calls on governments and policymakers to step up legislation, including implementing and strengthening existing programs to hold producers accountable for the environmental and economic costs of tobacco product waste.
