A person’s health will always be its greatest asset. Ask anyone and he will tell you why I always prefer to want material things, it has always been blessed with good health. The importance of Good Health should be taught to children while they are still young so that when older, and have come accustomed to a healthy lifestyle.
Some parents give their children everything and let them eat unhealthy foods. That the reason they can allow their children to eat whatever they want because they are still young and have all the time in the world to look after their health when they grow old. This seems to be a mistaken notion, because a child lives by what has been taught since I was a baby. Thus, a child who was raised eating unhealthy foods will always have a yen for this type of food, even when it is already an adult.
Every responsible parent should teach their children the general health advice that children should live, and when they become older. Training children to live and the right to eat healthy foods can make a difference in how to care for their health later in life. It is always wise to teach children to drink plenty of water instead of carbonated drinks, while they are still young. Water is an elixir of health. Drink plenty of water can do wonders for the skin and overall health of a person.
Every child should be taught the value to start the day by eating a healthy breakfast. A healthy child who has proper nutrition and exercise for better performance in school than a child who skips breakfast and exercise. Sanitation should also be part of health councils, which must be given to children. This should include regular washing of hands with soap and water. This practice can minimize the transfer of bacteria when children are playing dirty with the sick or playing with objects.
However, parents should also ensure that children have completed the shooting of vaccination at an early age. They also ask their doctors for new vaccines that can be given to children to prevent the spread of new diseases. Even parents need to practice these tips to serve as General Health as good examples for their children. It is foolhardy to teach children to practice the same things when the parents do not preach.
It is also a good idea to undergo annual checkups to ensure that there is nothing wrong with the person. Thus, diseases are easily detectable and can be treated at an early stage before it worsens.
While there are diseases that are transmitted genetically, a person should always take care of your health and your family by hitting the boards of health.
There are other things you can do to lead a healthy life, but the important thing is to be conscious of what you have to do and what one must avoid to keep a healthy life.

If you would like advice, then please write in where you questions will be answered by Louise Mitchell
Q I run a small company. One of my employees is currently off sick and it looks likely that he will be off for some time. Do I have to pay him his normal salary whilst he is off ill?
A No. If he qualifies for Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), he will be entitled to £70.05 per week. If, on average, he earns less than £84.00 per week, he does not qualify for SSP. If this is indeed the case, you must provide them with an SSP1 form detailing this so that they can take this to the DSS to claim assistance. In order to receive SSP, the employee would have to be absent for four or more days. For example, if the employee is off for two weeks (Monday – Friday), they would receive their normal pay for the first three days, and thereafter receive SSP for the additional seven days. However, for any absence longer than a week, they are required to provide medical evidence.
Q One of my employees is due to have a baby in April 2007. I think I remember reading that the period that Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is paid for is due to increase – is that correct?
A For babies born after 1 April 2007 SMP should be paid for a continuous period of up to 39 weeks.
Q How do I work out an employee’s SMP?
A You should review the employee’s gross earnings in a set period – this is usually the eight week period up to and including the 15th week before their due date.
For the first 6 weeks SMP should be paid at 90% of the employee’s average weekly earnings. Whilst for the remaining 33 weeks SMP is paid at the lower of either the standard rate (£108.85) or a rate which is equal to 90% of the employee’s average weekly earnings.
Q One of my employees is currently receiving Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) – can I reclaim this and if so how and who from?
A It is possible for you to reclaim this through your monthly PAYE, however, only in the following circumstance: If you multiply the total gross NIC figure (add the gross employer and employee NIC for all employees paid within the specified PAYE period) by 13% and this figure is less than the SSP figure paid, you can reclaim the difference.
Q One of my newest employees, she has been with us for just over six months, has just told me that she is in the process of adopting a child. Can you advise me whether she should be paid Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP)?
A Your employee will be eligible for SAP if she meets the following conditions:
She has been matched with a child for adoption by an adoption agency?
She has been in your employ without a break for at least 26 weeks up to and including the week the adoption agency told her that she has been matched with a child for adoption
She earns enough on average to be relevant for NI purposes.
If an employee’s gross weekly earnings are £84.00 or more then she should receive Statutory Adoption Pay at £108.85 or 90% of her average gross weekly earnings if this is less than £108.85 for 26 weeks.
