It is good to be slim and fit, but being skinny and lean can get with it a whole lot of troubles, like fatigue, anemia, low energy, etc. Here is a list of super foods that can add some extra pounds on your body, making you look fit and healthy.

1. Sweets

Lucky you!!! Sweets, like dark chocolate, ice-cream, cakes are rich in calories, and hence; they are extremely good for people, who want to gain weight. Well, it is a fact that everybody loves sweets, but it is necessary to consume them in moderation. These sweets are made up of sugar, milk products, and other sweet agents, which can prove to be cooperative for thin people to put on weight fast.

The crunchy snacks, like peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc. are affluent in the amount of healthy and rich nutrients, like fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals, which not only make them an excellent therapy for a healthy heart, but also in gaining weight. These nuts contain essential oils, which assist a thin person to put on pounds fast.

Whole grains include brown rice, cereals, oats, wheat, etc., which are the powerhouses of diverse nutrients. Brown or plain rice and oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates, which are the vital element for building your muscles.  On the other hand, cereals are a high calorie food, and they must be taken as a morning meal.

What Type Treatment My Baby Need?

Many parents are often concerned about placing their child in residential treatment, especially if the best placement is far from home. Because of this fear, parents can sometimes then question if residential placement is necessary since outpatient and inpatient therapy tends to create a few days of what seems like peace. I have worked as an intern for inpatient, outpatient, a full therapist in outpatient, a staff for residential, and now a therapist in residential. This experience doesn’t account for other forms of treatment like an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Wilderness Program. 

Outpatient Therapy: 

Outpatient therapy allows the child to remain at home and work on issues on a weekly basis, or as the therapist and family deem necessary. Outpatient therapy is typically utilized for relatively minor issues that can be resolved within 6-9 months or semi-moderate issues that may take a year or two, depending on frequency and approach. As an outpatient therapist we work with schools and other community services to make sure that the family has the support that they need, while addressing some of the deeper issues and while the patient is remaining safe in their environment. Outpatient therapy tends to be the middle-man in the therapy lineup.  As an outpatient therapist we have to be aware of where our client is at with how much their behaviors interfere with their overall functioning and evaluate when to step them up to a higher level of care and hopefully have them finish therapy. 

Inpatient Treatment:

Inpatient level of care is for an imminent threat to self and/or others and cannot contract for safety. Inpatient level of care is for stabilization, typically lasting 3-7 days depending on the intensity of the risks and available supports at home and the community. As a therapist in the inpatient setting, the focus is to find ways to subside the feelings that created the high level of risk. Psycho-education groups, individual sessions, and family meetings are utilized to develop skills and supports to be more successful in the community and at home. It can be common for there to be repeat visits when outpatient modalities are not working and more long-term solutions are then discussed. 

Residential Treatment: 

#ResidentialTreatment is for when all the others weren’t enough. Having seen the other two phases of therapy, residential treatment is definitely the most challenging, but I am able to see the most changes. Residential treatment provides 24 hour care and submersion in therapy to get the greatest amount of gain. Having been a staff and now a therapist in a residential setting it’s remarkable to see the difference that can happen in a child in a relatively short amount of time. Like all types of therapy, the amount of change and the time to make the change, depends on the willingness of the child and their parents. In residential I often see my clients outside of therapy a few times, either just running into them or briefly meeting with them to work on minor issues that come up. In between therapy, they get support from groups and staff to help them address issues and work on skills. The important thing to keep in mind is having a good way for the client to transition back home so that the skills and issues they worked on while in residential treatment translate back to home.  By creating a good transition plan and practicing it while still in residential care give the client a chance to not just get good at treatment, they get good at life.  I know from experience, nothing is more relieving as a therapist than to have someone coming out of residential treatment having worked on their core issues and having worked on the maintenance side of their core issues. 

Working as a therapist in residential treatment is probably the most rewarding area of therapy that I’ve worked in. My experience here at Sunrise has also made it even more rewarding where we have quality staff and a quality program.  I’m really proud to work in a program that works with girls to help them get back on their feet and be good at their lives.

This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amon gst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

ANEMIA:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

BLOOD PRESSURE:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

BRAIN POWER:
200 students at a Twickenham school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

CONSTIPATION:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

HANGOVERS:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

HEARTBURN:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

MORNING SICKNESS:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

MOSQUITO BITES:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

NERVES:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

ULCERS:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chroniclercases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!'
