Actively Listening to your Child

Communicating with our children can be a difficult task at times.  We feel like they're not listening to us; they feel like we're not listening to them.  Good listening and communications skills are essential to successful parenting.  Your child's feelings, views and opinions have worth, and you should make sure you take the time to sit down and listen openly and discuss them honestly.
It seems to be a natural tendency to react rather than to respond.  We pass judgment based on our own feelings and experiences.  However, responding means being receptive to our child's feelings and emotions and allowing them to express themselves openly and honestly without fear of repercussion from us.  By reacting, we send our child the message that their feelings and opinions are invalid.  But by responding and asking questions

Foods That Cause Gout

by: Ken Marlborough

 Foods that cause gout are rich in a chemical called purines. These foods include organ meats such as liver, brain, kidneys and sweetbreads. Other foods include anchovies, herring, dried peas and beans.

The purines get converted to uric acid but if they accumulate in excess they will cause gout. The uric acid crystals, which form will irritate the lining of joints such as the one in the big toe. This leads to inflammation and painand swelling at the joint. Cutting back on the amount of foods that cause gout or avoiding them is a good idea if someone has gout, however, always remember to get an adequate and balanced diet. Alcohol affects the removal of uric acid from the body and too much alcohol can trigger gout. Low carbohydrate diets, which are rich in protein, can also trigger gout. People often forget to drink enough water especially in winter and this needs to be kept in mind if they are on a low carbohydrate diet. With the use of medications there is less of a need for a drastic dietary change but avoiding or limiting certain foods will help reduce the severity of attacks and may help people who have difficulty with medications that treat gout.
