What are the best ways of getting out of poverty?
Honestly, you cannot escape poverty. I've seen poverty and, to some extent, lived it. But I know that I will never be homeless, starving, etc. So, you could say that I have never experienced true poverty. But I will tell you this. Those whom I know who were truly poor BUILT their way out of it. They did not escape it. They did things that I would never have the guts or even the physical strength to do.I will give you one example. I teach illiterate adults basic reading and comprehension skills (at no charge). One of my earliest students was a youngish man. We were both in our thirties at the time, though he was a few years younger than I was. He came to the library (which provided materials and space for the class) in a BMW. He had a stunningly beautiful wife. He told me that he lived in a million-dollar home. Yet he was illiterate. He was intelligent, but not brilliant. And he grew up poor -- poverty beyond my experience. He was, quite literally, born on the streets. By the time he was able to walk, speak, etc. his parents had vanished. He survived, somehow -- I have no idea how -- until he was ten, just wandering the streets. Then he started to sell flowers that he had either stolen or that someone had given him. He made very little money this way. Then someone gave him a box of vitamin bottles -- 100 bottles -- for free. How and why, I don't know. He sold these 100 bottles by going door to door, in ONE DAY. This was in Miami. It is hot there. And a little boy wandering around, half-naked, selling stuff door to door, is not welcome in most places. But he managed to do this for YEARS. He finally saved enough money to buy himself a house, when he was in his twenties. So, for more than TWENTY YEARS, this guy literally lived on the streets.I think I would die in my first 20 hours, on the streets. He finally married a beautiful, educated woman who had a good job. He got himself a job as a grounds-keeper. And he had been employed for 10 years or so when his wife finally convinced him to become literate. I still have a t-shirt that he gave me as a gift when we were done.So, my friend, you can build yourself a way out of poverty. It is difficult. But it can be done. Frankly, I don't know if I could do it. But I hope you do. I am not a rich guy myself. But let me know if I can help, in any way.
What can and cant budgies eat urgent?
You can get bird seed made especially for them. Also they love treats like honey sticks and millet spray. Mine go crazy for this. They can eat fruits too. Good luck on that one because neither one of my birds will touch them. I have a cockatiel and a budgie. Both of mine love the Goldfish crackers. Most of the time my cockatiel will drop a lot of crumbs and then my budgie will come behind him and eat those. But just remember that there are things that they can not eat at all like chocolate. Try looking up everything on the web. You will be able to find plenty of information about what to feed him, how to take care of him, and how to interact with him. Good luck with your bird!!

Plain potatoes, whether white or sweet, are fat-free, rich in nutrients, and low in calories; they make a good addition to any weight-loss diet.

It's also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin B-6, meeting more than 10 percent of the daily value per serving.more health related blogsTurmeric as the Natural Pain KillerObesity: Causes and Solutions10 Health Benefits of Green Tea
Why do many parents over-feed children? Why are today's children more at risk for obesity than the children of 50 years ago?
They overfeed them because they are hungry.This is a more complicated question than it appears to be. There are a lot of hormone mimics in our environment, and even drugs in our water, than ever before. A number of them have an effect on insulin sensitivity, hunger and satiation, and our gut microbiome - which also affects our weight. (See Environmental Estrogen Mimics)Tack onto this the epigenetic legacy of unrealistic body images maintained by extreme dieting during the youth and pregnancies of their mothers, and you have a perfect storm for two generations of kids who are subject to fatigue and hunger because instead of burning calories, they are socking them away in fat cells. (See Dutch Winter Effect)We also have children of diabetics 5 generations into the gene pool, who also have greater risk of insulin production and metabolic disorders. Almost no diabetics lived to breed until after 1922, when insulin was first used to save the lives of diabetics,One of the mediators of insulin sensitivity, and ability to easily maintain appropriate weight, if percent lean mass: *muscle*. Life is so easy now that routine life demands little muscle bulk, so it takes time and money to gain it and maintain it. For children, that time and money used to come during school - but we have cut sports and physical education to the bone.Many kids are not able to “go out and play” because their parents are working or commuting home during daylight hours. Many latchkey kids are literally concealing their illegal unsupervised presence in their own homes, taking a legal risk to the integrity of their families if they step outside.Their parents come home and feed them prepared food that incorporates more fat and sugar than the healthful meals made only of actual foods at home, because there is no nearby source of fresh food, and no time to cook it anyway.They overfeed them because the world is not suited to strong healthy people with satisfied appetites.
