CBSE has introduced a streamlined and well designed Health and Physical Education (HPE) program to mainstream health and physical education in schools for students of class I - XII, the HRD minister told the Rajya Sabha.



Several steps have been taken by the Government to impart health and physical education to students across the country, said Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Dr Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha on Thursday (December 5).



According to Pokhriyal, as per the National Curriculum Framework 2005, health and physical education is a compulsory subject from class I to X. In this regard, National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has brought out material for Class VI, VII and VIII as teachers guide and for class IX textbooks on health and physical education (HPE).



"In addition, Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) has introduced a streamlined and well designed Health and Physical Education (HPE) program to mainstream health and physical education in schools for students of class I - XII. CBSE has made Health and Physical Education compulsory in all classes from I-XII," the minister told the Rajya Sabha.



The board has directed schools to keep one period of HPE for classes I-XII each day. All students from these classes are compulsorily required to participate in at least two sports activities as per their interest and capability and this has been included in the eligibility criteria to appear in board examinations of classes X and XII, the HRD minister said.



He further said that the Department of School Education and Literacy in coordination with the Department of Sports is organising activities on ‘‘Fit India Movement-Fit India School” in schools to inculcate physical activity and sports into the daily life of students.



Department of School Education and Literacy has launched an Integrated Scheme for School Education-Samagra Shiksha, with effect from 1st April 2018. Realizing the need for the holistic development of children, under the Samagra Shiksha, Sports and Physical Education component has been introduced for the first time for the encouragement of Sports, Physical activities, Yoga, Co-curricular activities etc. in all States and UTs including NCT of Delhi.

People with high cholesterol should eliminate carbs, not saturated fat: Study

An international team of experts on heart disease and diet, including five cardiologists, reviewed dietary guidelines for people with familial hypercholesterolemia.





Following a study on hypercholesterolemia, researchers have suggested that people with the condition should eliminate carbohydrates from their diet instead of fats. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder that causes people to have cholesterol levels 2-4 times higher than the average person.





Organisations, including the American Heart Association, have suggested they avoid eating food from animal sources, such as meat, eggs, and cheese, and to avoid coconut oil.





An international team of experts on heart disease and diet, including five cardiologists, reviewed dietary guidelines for people with familial hypercholesterolemia. They say they couldn`t find any justification for health experts to recommend a low saturated fat diet.

"For the past 80 years, people with familial hypercholesterolemia have been told to lower their cholesterol with a low saturated fat diet," said lead author David Diamond, professor and heart disease researcher at the University of South Florida. "Our study showed that a more `heart healthy` diet is one low in sugar, not saturated fat," Diamond added.





Diamond and his co-authors say following a low-carb diet is most effective for people at increased risk of heart disease, such as those who are overweight, hypertensive and diabetic.





Their findings are consistent with another paper recently published in the "Journal of the American College of Cardiology," which provided strong evidence that food that raises blood sugar, such as bread, potatoes, and sweets, should be minimized, rather than tropical oils and animal-based food.

8. Before Botox, More Sleep 

If you’re concerned that your skin looks puffy, saggy, wrinkly, or just otherwise older than you really are, the cause could be as simple as not enough sleep. Along with smoking, lack of exercise, and unprotected sun exposure, insufficient sleep is at the top of the list in terms of things that can make you look older.

So before doing anything else, try adding in a few extra hours of slumber to your daily routine. It can be hard to shut down the devices and give ourselves over to more sleep, but doing so may free up countless hours during the day that you might otherwise spend on fighting the effects of exhaustion.


The takeaway here is that while your dermatologist is an important part of your skincare routine, often the strongest tools at your disposal have to do with self-care. Rest more, release stress, and eat healthy fresh foods. Put vanity aside and go makeup free more often, especially at the gym. All of these measures can be inexpensive yet contribute to more than just healthier skin. They add up to a happier you.

7. Use A Humidifier For Natural Moisturizing 

Some dermatologists always have a new revolutionary product or treatment to hawk that will give you smooth, perfectly moisturized and glowing skin. And these products can have a place in your beauty regimen. But before dropping hundreds of dollars on the latest thing, try sleeping with a warm mist humidifier.






Adjusting the humidity level of your room can do wonders to relax and rehydrate dry skin. Essential oils like helichrysum, lavender, lemongrass, and frankincense can also improve skin condition, whether placed in your humidifier or mixed with a carrier oil and applied directly to problem areas. .

6. Wash Your Makeup Brushes Frequently 

This is probably not news to makeup users – the oils on our skin transfer to makeup brushes and attract all kinds of dirt and germs. Using a dirty brush puts you at risk for breakouts, so it’s best to wash all your tools about once a week.

But this is about more than breakouts – those same dirty brushes can actually make you sick. They can become contaminated with bacteria that is quite dangerous. A Staph infection, for example, is potentially deadly. If the skin on your face is already broken, chapped, or blemished, it is that much easier for bacteria to take hold and make you sick. .
