Hello visitor,

Welcome to my healthy family website. I am Dr. Arun Kumar, a Pediatrician by profession. The purpose of this website is to help people establish healthy families in order to create a healthy society.

At the level of an individual health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity. A Healthy family is one in which individuals are healthy and have harmonious relationships with each other. The site has different sections devoted to various aspects of family life.

The section on general family issues deals with marriage, relationship between husband and wife, care of elderly people in the family and mental preparation of prospective parents.

If parents have to bring up children properly, it is essential that they have a good relationship between themselves. Hence counseling before marriage is extremely important. Both husband and wife should be aware of their duties as parents and be ready to face the challenges of parenthood before the birth of a child. The problems of working mothers are highlighted so that a woman can learn to balance career and family.

The section on spirituality emphasizes the need for a spiritual attitude to life and the need for leading a balanced life.

     The section on child health enables parents to understand their children and bring them up properly. Parents have many doubts about their children. They often wonder whether their child is normal or not. This is particularly true in the case of small babies. Sometimes it appears that the most difficult task of a Pediatrician is to convince a mother that her child is normal.

I also feel that as a Pediatrician it is not enough to merely treat diseases but help parents to bring the best out of their children. Proper upbringing of children is vital if we want to create healthy families and a healthy society, as they are the future citizens. The section explains the normal variations of infants and children, growth and development, love and discipline and other important matters.

The section on common childhood problems is devoted to the conditions and diseases encountered in children. Some conditions are unique to children and do not amount to any disease but cause lot of anxiety to parents. Occasionally parents, especially mothers imagine that a child is having some disease while in fact there is none.

The section on teen health describes the various anatomical, physiological and psychological changes which take place during adolescence. It is necessary for parents to be mentally prepared to cope with their adolescent children.

Ayurveda is becoming increasingly popular in many countries. Its emphasis on maintaining health by following wholesome diet, having the right attitude to life and giving equal importance to spiritual aspect of life is appealing to many people. The section on ayurveda explains the basic concepts of ayurveda and ayurvedic approach to health and diseases.

The section on making money online elaborates on how mothers can work at home using a computer and add to the family income. Economic security is a very important aspect of human life and is absolutely necessary in order to have a happy family. Today the Internet has changed our lives.It has provided us a wonderful opportunity to work from the comfort of our homes and add to our income.

The greatest advantages of starting an online business are the low start up cost and the flexible working time. Those working for salaries can spend a few hours everyday and establish an online business over a period of time. Mothers working at home can spend more time with their children. It they have to go out for work they will be spending a lot of time traveling up and down. This also causes physical and mental stress.

The section on investments helps people to properly invest their money so that they are able to enjoy economic security in the long run. Various options for investing money are discussed.

Life is not always a bed of roses. Every person faces challenging times. A great person is one who handles such situations with courage, determination and creativity turning stumbling blocks into stepping stones. The section on inspiration brings together famous inspirational words from great people. Read them whenever you feel you need a push.

Many people are curious about the structure and function of the human body. Hence I started a section devoted to the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry of the most fascinating living organism a human being is, using easy to understand language minimizing the use of technical terms.
