PNRC warns vs. buying new appliances for holidays
The Philippine National Red Cross cautioned the public against the dangers of buying new appiliances or additional electrical home equipment this holiday season.
Benjamin Delfin, PNRC safety services manager, that with new appliances or electrical equipment, homeowners could overload electrical circuits and cause fires.
"Fires can even occur in houses equipped with circuit breakers especially if the homeowners do not upgrade their electrical connection," he said.
According to Delfin, having a a circuit breaker makes homeowners feel safe, but most do not know that their is a need to upgrade their electrical connections once they start buying additional appliances.
"The tendency is people do not like to upgrade (when they already install circuit breakers). If their 30-ampere fuse trips because of overload, they only change it with a 60-ampere fuse, which is not enough," he said.
In upgrading the electrical connection, Delfin said homeowners should have their electrical wires checked" not just by any electricuan but by a licenses electrician."
Delfin also issued the following reminders to avoid fires:
Avoid electrical overloading
Unplug all electrical appliances after every use.
Check all electrical installations regularly.
Check gas stoves and liquefied petroleum gas tanks for leaks.
Keep children away from flammable liquids, lighters and matches.
Avoid smoking in bed.
Ensure you have a pre-fire plan at your residence or office.
Do not leave lighted mosquito coils unattended.
Always take extra precautions when cooking.
Never lighted candles unattended.
Do not throw lighted cigar or cigarette butts on dried leaves and garbage.
Strictly obey the no smoking signs.
Maintain proper housekeeping to eliminate fire hazards.
Check fire protection gadgets or devices of appliances and equipment regularly.
Be fire-safety conscious.

How much physical activity do children need?
http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/children.html
Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity each day.

This may sound like a lot, but don't worry! Your child may already be meeting the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. And, you'll soon discover all the easy and enjoyable ways to help your child meet the recommendations. Encourage your child to participate in activities that are age-appropriate, enjoyable and offer variety! Just make sure your child or adolescent is doing three types of physical activity:

1. Aerobic Activity

Aerobic activity should make up most of your child's 60 or more minutes of physical activity each day. This can include either moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, or vigorous-intensity activity, such as running. Be sure to include vigorous-intensity aerobic activity on at least 3 days per week.
2. Muscle Strengthening weight training
Include muscle strengthening activities, such as gymnastics or push-ups, at least 3 days per week as part of your child's 60 or more minutes.

3. Bone Strengthening

Include bone strengthening activities, such as jumping rope or running, at least 3 days per week as part of your child's 60 or more minutes.



1. As a rule of thumb, on a scale of 0 to 10, where sitting is a 0 and the highest level of activity is a 10, moderate-intensity activity is a 5 or 6. When your son does moderate-intensity activity, his heart will beat faster than normal and he will breathe harder than normal. Vigorous-intensity activity is a level 7 or 8. When your son does vigorous-intensity activity, his heart will beat much faster than normal and he will breathe much harder than normal.
2. Another way to judge intensity is to think about the activity your child is doing and compare it to the average child. What amount of intensity would the average child use? For example, when your daughter walks to school with friends each morning, she's probably doing moderate-intensity aerobic activity. But while she is at school, when she runs, or chases others by playing tag during recess, she's probably doing vigorous-intensity activity.


What do you mean by "age-appropriate" activities?

Some physical activity is better-suited for children than adolescents. For example, children do not usually need formal muscle-strengthening programs, such as lifting weights. Younger children usually strengthen their muscles when they do gymnastics, play on a jungle gym or climb trees. As children grow older and become adolescents, they may start structured weight programs. For example, they may do these types of programs along with their football or basketball team practice.
