The uterus is the home of a new life.As your baby grows the space inside may seem cramped.
This cramping causes the legs to be folded .
The child is born with bowing of legs ,due to folded leg position in utero.
This bowing in infants is called physiological Genu Vera.
Once they start putting pressure on them while walking ,they may straighten out .This happens by 2 to 3 years of age.
If not corrected ,then they may cause some serious problems.
Persistent bowing may be due some deficiencies.
25(OH) Vitamin D in serum
Measurements of distance between knees while child is lying on the back.
This is monitored to see for any worsening
All problems may not be solved but timely intervention can change the life of a child for ever.

I love milk.
Specially cold milk.
I like the milky chai and the nice cup of coffee with milk.
But to keep healthy I had switch to green tea.I still have my cup of midmorning coffee and the ginger chai on weekends.
1 cup milk has ;
Eight grams of protein12 grams of carbohydrates
300 milligrams of calcium, which is 30 percent of the recommended daily allowance for most adults.
It’s easily available
Cheap
High quality protein.
Soya milkis in no way better.It’s the evil cousin.
The main problem with milk is not just the calories .
That you can beat with the skimmed variety.
But the milk protein itself has a few of its own issues .
It’s a grey zone.
It is digested quickly .Absorption occurs fast and cause rapid increase in plasma amino acids .
This causes faster release of insulin .
This is dangerous .
Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinaemia are both factors of insulin resistance.
This insulinotropic role of milk products is a cause of concern for health.
What is Insulin?
Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the β cells pancreatic islets of Langerhans
What does Insulin do for you ?
It maintains normal blood glucose levels.
It helps in cellular glucose uptake, regulating carbohydrate metabolism .
Helps inlipid and protein metabolism .
Insulin stimulates glucose uptake.Promotes lipogenesis while suppressing lipolysis .
Promotes cell division and growth through its mitogenic effects.
Problems with obesity
Other scary facts about milk include issues with prostatic and ovarian cancer.
At the end of the day ,diet is supposed to be balanced.
See what works for you .

I have learned never to underestimate the capacity of the human mind and body to regenerate — even when prospects seem most wretched. The life force may be the least understood force on earth.”Norman Cousins (in his; Anatomy of an Illness)
The greatest force in the human body is the natural drive of the body to heal itself – but that force in not independent of the belief system. Everything begins with belief. What we believe is the most powerful option of all.
