Read the following text.

 

Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns – and, therefore, temporary results. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are 5 ways to make that happen:

 

1. Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle – both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

2. Reduce screen time. People who spend a lot of time in front of screens are more likely to be overweight.

3. Watch out for portion distortion.Big portions pile on extra calories that cause weight gain.

4. Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Fruits and veggies are about more than just vitamins and minerals.

5. Don’t skip breakfast. Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, burning calories from the get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day.

1,000 Days Help Shape a Lifetime

 

The time from conception to age two is the most critical period of development in the life of any individual.

 

During these 1,000 days, the foundation is laid in a child’s brain for processing information, learning language, developing and enhancing motor skills and other functions that are critically important later in life.

 

If children and their mothers do not get proper nutrition in those critical 1,000 days, we have missed our opportunity to help ensure those children reach their full potential. Unfortunately this happens all too often.

 

Stunting the World’s Potential

 

Stunting is what happens to a child’s brain and body when they don’t get the right kind of food or nutrients, particularly in the 1000 days between conception and their second birthday. Stunted children have a low height for age but it goes beyond just physical height – organs may not fully develop and cognitive development may suffer

 

The damage can be irreversible. That child may never learn, nor earn, as much as they could have if properly nourished in early life.

 

162 million children in the world are stunted with life-long consequences including weakened immune systems, and a risk of not reaching their full potential.

 

“Stunted” is really just code for lost potential – lost to the person, lost to their families and communities, and lost to the world.

 

The fight against poverty can never be won while entire generations are stunted, and with their development potential limited because they don’t have access to good nutrition, as well as prevention and treatment to common childhood illnesses.

 

Nutrition International’s belief that simply surviving is not enough drives our work in Child Health, Growth and Development. We want to increase the number of children, particularly those under the age of two, who thrive by making sure they get the essential vitamins and minerals they need to promote their optimal health, growth and development.

 

Our work in this area includes Infant and Young Child Nutrition and iron supplementation for children.

The Amazon is the world's largest tropical rainforest. It covers an area of nearly 2.8 million square miles, which is nearly the size of the continent of Australia. The Amazon Rainforest gets its life from the majestic Amazon River, the world's second largest river, which runs directly through the heart of the region. The rainforest itself is simply the drainage basin for the river and its many tributaries. The vast forest itself consists of four layers, each featuring its own ecosystems and specially adapted plants and animals. The forest floor is the lowest region. Since only two percent of the sunlight filters through the top layers to the understory, very few plants grow here. The forest floor, however, is rich with rotting vegetation and the bodies of dead organisms, which are quickly broken down into nutrients integrated into the soil. Tree roots stay close to these available nutrients and decomposers such as millipedes and earthworms use these nutrients for food.
The understory is the layer above the forest floor. Much like the forest floor, only about 2- 5 percent of the sunlight reaches this shadowy realm. Many of the plants in the understory have large, broad leaves to collect as much sunlight as possible. The understory is so thick that there is very little air movement. As a result, plants rely on insects and animals to pollinate their flowers.

The layer above the understory is the canopy. This is where much of the action in the rainforest occurs. Many canopy leaves have specially adapted leaves which form "drip tips”. Drip tips allow water to flow off the leaves which prevents mosses, fungi, and lichens from occupying the leaves. Leaves in the canopy are very dense and filter about 80 percent of the sunlight. The canopy is where the wealth of the rainforest's fruits and flowers grow. Bromeliads, cup-like plants, provide drinking pools for animals and breeding locations for tree frogs.
The emergent layer is above the canopy, and is the top layer of the rainforest. Trees in the emergent layer break through the canopy and may reach heights of 200 feet. Leaves in the emergent layer are small and covered with a special wax to hold water. Seeds are blown to other parts of the forest. Trees which rise to the emergent layer are massive. Many are braced by huge buitress roots. Trunks can be 16 feet in circumference. Many animals that survive in the emergent layer never touch the ground.
