Numerology Course The ancients placed great importance in names & numerologists believe that names are not arrived at by chance. This magical science is based on the fact that the name of a person, place, or thing contains the very essence of its being. Numerology was devised by the Egyptians to prevent their enemies from being able to pronounce the names of the Gods. Not only that, Numerology goes beyond the limitations of mere coincidence. Nostradamus & Cagliostro used Numerology as the basis for their predictions, with remarkable results. This comprehensive course will enlighten you, educate you & open your mind to the power of numbers, & convince you of the enormous influence that numbers have on life itself. ...

Nutrition for Children & Adolescents Course Obesity is fast turning into an "epidemic" disease, not only in adults, but in our children too. It is estimated that up to 15 % of all children in the UK are overweight or obese (Bupa). Whilst up to 34% of all children in the USA are overweight or obese (NPD Group). " Over the last fifty years, there has been a change in the predominant concerns about the diets & health of school aged children. Historically, the focus has been on the provision of sufficient nutrients & energy in relation to current & future needs, but providing dietary balance & encouraging less sedentary lifestyles are now viewed as the main priorities". British Nutrition Foundation With the exception of very young children (4
- 6 years old), between 40-69% of children in Britain are largely inactive, spending less than one hour a day participating in activities of moderate intensity. These findings are also consistent with a number of other recent reports concerning the increasing prevalence of overweight & obesity in children. This is a situation that is mirrored in adults & is likely to stem from the same fundamental causes.   Like many adults, British children are typically eating less than half the recommended five portions of fruit & vegetables a day. One in five (4 -18 year olds) eat no fruit at all during an average week. Poor eating & poor physical activity habits in childhood may increase the risk of health problems in later in life. The diet of a child is a factor, to varying degrees, in the development of a number of diseases, either in childhood itself or during adult life, such as obesity, iron deficiency anaemia, dental caries, coronary heart disease, hypertension, osteoporosis & cancer. There is some evidence to suggest that health traits present in childhood tend to track into adult life, including body weight, blood levels of cholesterol, other blood lipids & insulin, & blood pressure.   Improving the health & nutrition of children should remain a priority for the government, health professionals, the food industry & teachers alike. But more importantly, parents should also have an active role in providing the best nutritional quality to their children.  The course aims to show parents & practitioners how to improve the health & nutrition of children.
