Are You Watching Your Walking Style?

The most auspicious day in a human life is one when he/she starts to walk. From that day onward we start moving from place to place.  Some times it is brisk walking and some times it is slow pace depending on the urgency of the situation.  But regardless of the speed there always exist a style in walking.  If you have no disability in walking it is better you get trained to adopt a stylish walking style attracting attention of others.

Again there is difference in style of walking in male and female.  This gender difference is to be closely observed.  As otherwise it is absurd.  A male adopting female walking style and mannerism is looked down upon.  And equally in case of a female adopting male style.  People would view her as arrogant non cooperative and excessively proud.  On the contrary, it is nature's law that she ought to have an attractive style.  Some animals and birds are watched and liked by their style of walking.  For example a pea cock/or swan looks more attractive while they walk.  Some poets have even imagined that their heroine learning lessons of walking from swan.

This apart, a scientific connection also is attributed to your style of walking. Studies presented at Alzheimer Association International  conference bring in new information that the way you walk reveal the way you think.  A cognitive connection has been established between your walking and thinking.  They say your style of walking during old age is an indication of your chances of getting affected of  memory loss dementia or even Alzheimer’s at the extreme. It has also been suggested that it is indicative of performance of your vital internal body parts including brain, heart, lungs, as compared to the performance of a car running erratic when machine becomes obsolete.

Some may say,  Any how for those who have no causes for worry it is time again to worry about their walking style.  It is not so, your success and good health depend on it.  So it is equally important to watch your walking style

Mothers used to feed the baby when it cried.  But modern mothers are following infant feeding schedule  on suggestions from Doctors or Dietitians as they want a brighter baby and their fuure shining with record performance in education, health and IQ and all other parameters.

But the mantra has now been revealed.  It is not schedule but the need that determines appropriate time for the feeding.  You shall have to postpone schedules when the crying need is something else and not food.
