The children firstly are learned how to use weapon, bomb, kalashnikov...They aren't gone to school, only they are educated in terrorism camps. It is a shame for humanity.War is not finished unfortunately around the world. Children are growing by watching war news, death people of war, blood, gun... When will we say stop the bad picture.

İllness of Epoch is "Obezity"

Obezity is not a main problem in Turkey but also in all over the world. Why do people become obezity? How do we get rid of this illness? Obezity has grown recently because of tecnology. People work on table with computer all day and people's having full stress of life. Also they eat their meals be quikly. People eat unhealty by eating fastfood. They are not walking,doing exercise... They got used to comfartable life with cars.Obezity causes types of illness. For example; diabetes, heart disease, cancer, cholesterol, sleeplessness problems and psychological problems. Statistics show us 41.5% women and 21.2% men are obezity in Turkey. Doctors say us breast milk is important for babies. Breast milk protects our body from obezity. We can protect our body from obezity by not using elevator, escalator and our cars... We should eat vegetables,fruits and organic foods. We should be far far away from three white: "sugar,salt,flour." Walking one hour or doing exercise, drinking water, being careful about our eating make us happy and have healthy body...
