An overview of some common teaching approaches. The teaching techniques and approaches, as well as activities that teachers employ and teaching in the classroom, is known as teaching style. Grasha defines teaching style as the continuous and steady actions of teachers in their relationship with students in the course of teaching and learning. Jarvis considers teaching style as containing, evidence of beliefs about values related to, and attitudes toward all the elements of the teaching learning exchange. Teachers styles of teaching represent their behavior in the classroom. These definitions indicate, that teaching styles are the methods, activities, and approaches, that are employed by a teacher in the classroom, or the sum total of instructional activities, techniques, and approaches, that a teacher feels most comfortable, using when he or she is in front of a class. Scientific research. In the study of teaching styles in an EFL setting, Kazemi and Soleimani found, that the most prominent teaching style used by teachers in the classroom in Iran, is the formal teaching style. Garcia also found a relationship between context and personality and teacher burnout. Primarily, the teaching style of a teacher can result in burnout. Teachers teaching styles are also linked to the teacher's locus of control, their knowledge of the content, their self-efficacy, their conduct in the class and reflectivity, as well as their management style. Teaching styles have been categorized into direct, didactic, and indirect, student-centered. Bennett also classified them, as formal and informal styles, and Soleimani and Kendall describe it as open and traditional styles, while Lohman uses the description intellectual excitement, and interpersonal rapport styles. The teaching styles identified by Grashes are in five models, namely, expert, formal authority, personal, facilitator, and delegator models. The selection of teaching style generally depends on several factors, that the teacher needs to take into consideration. These include the personality of the teacher, the environment, the level, and age of the student, among others. In this paper, the teaching style is categorized into teacher-centered and student-centered, from which the styles identified above can be classified. Teacher-centered approach. In a teacher-centered teaching style, there is passive learning by students. Hence they have no control over their learning. The student is a mere beneficiary of the teacher's wisdom and knowledge. Among the various categorizations, the expert, formal authority, and personal model, are teacher-centered teaching styles. In this regard, teachers as the core of the class, make most decisions concerning the curriculum. Partly EFL teaching is teacher-centered since teachers are responsible for designing the curriculum and syllabus. Teacher-centered learning could constrain students' progress. Students in a teacher-centered classroom, are passive recipients of information. The importance is placed on the acquisition of knowledge, while the teacher's role is a primary informant and evaluator. Teachers also establish learning goals for students, and oversee the work of students through standard practices and procedures. Teachers also perform in ways, that provide a framework to influence students' thought and behavior. They as models encourage students to observe and utilize, what seems effective in a teacher's point of view. This is mostly the case in high-power distant cultures, where those in power have the final say, and make most of the decisions. Student-centered approach In a student-centered classroom, learners play a critical part in designing their curriculums. Students have the chance to make essential decisions, and judge the significance of a method of teaching to their lives and personal beliefs. This is most prominent among higher educational levels, where students can make informed decisions on their learning outcomes. In this situation, teachers are facilitators or guide responsible for assisting learners to achieve positive results. This type of teaching style places emphasis on the teacher-student relationship. Being a facilitator means asking questions, suggesting alternatives, and developing options. The teacher mostly assists students in making informed choices, with the ultimate goal of developing their capacity, to be responsible and independent with the ability to take initiatives. In an EFL class of students 5 to 13 years, this approach is usually used and dominated by activities. For learners less than 9 years, engaging and practicing is the primary approach in teaching, while for young learners above 8 years, the engage, study, and activate strategy is used. The teacher decides whether to use the straight arrow, humorang, or patchwork approach to lessons. Similarly, Sonye specified that in the learner-centered style of teaching, learners are active participants in the learning process and do a more authentic assessment. Teachers delegate their responsibility to the student to help them develop the ability to work independently and autonomously. The teacher becomes a resource and available to the student when they need help. According to Brown, the learner-centered approach is grounded in the constructivist philosophy of teaching, like the Montessori method. In this regard, the learners learn by practicing and experiencing, rather than relying on the teacher's knowledge. Are you ready to teach English abroad? Take a TEFL course and get certified for more opportunities. To conclude, no one teaching style is capable of being fit for every condition. EFL teaching styles come in various forms, and can be adapted and adjusted to suit a teacher's condition. It is recommended that EFL teachers vary their teaching styles based on the circumstance, as well as blend the various techniques to balance their weaknesses and strengths.


We begin with breaking news tonight. Authorities in Northwestern Wisconsin say a 13 year old girl who went missing in October after her parents were killed has been found alive. The Baron County Sheriff's Department said on its Facebook page that Jamie Kloss has been located Thursday and that a suspect was taken into custody. Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald says the Sheriff's Office in Douglas County about 70 miles north of Baron County located the girl. A suspect was apprehended a short time later. The statement did not say where Jamie was found or give any further information about the suspect. The Sheriff's Office plans to hold the news conference Friday morning to discuss the case. Jamie Kloss has been missing since her parents were found dead on October 15th at the family's home near Baron.

So, because I don't hate myself, I chose to not subject myself to the inevitable stupidity that we were bound to see at CPAC 2021, so of course I didn't watch it live. However, there were a lot of clips that popped up afterwards showing how unhinged the event was, and anyone who's surprised at the unhinged behavior that we saw on stage, you shouldn't be surprised because anytime you think that CPAC is unhinged and there's a bunch of lunatics making insane points, just you wait because next year it's gonna be even worse and this year was no different, folks, so in no particular order, I wanted to showcase some of the dumbest moments from CPAC 2021, starting with QAnon conspiracy theorist Lauren Boebert who did this weird political theater.  Even in her manualisms, like if she wasn't even talking about politics, like if I just saw her in public, I think that person has a few screws loose, not to be overly ableist, but I mean, folks, these people are freaks. I don't know how else to frame it, and I thought that AOC had the best response to this, she said via Twitter, tell them loud and proud girl, GOP will strip your unemployment protections and dismantle any semblance of a public safety that we have left, then make working people pay way more for everything on low wages while Wall Street gets a meal ticket, good old conservative values, baby. And that's exactly it. Like all of these denunciations of welfare, they never talk about corporate welfare and how we subsidize the fossil fuel industry.  So rather than like pointing the finger at corporations and corporate greed in America, capitalism, they point fingers at the individuals and they say, oh, we don't care about, you know, big government. We we don't want your welfare, except, you know, really what she's saying there. If you read the subtext, it's rugged individualism for people and socialism for the wealthiest people, the corporations, which are not people, by the way, contrary to popular belief. Moving on, though, Rick Scott apparently didn't get the memo that the hysteria over cancel culture is over. Conservatives have moved on. I mean, sure, it had a really good run. Mr. Potato Head, Cat in the Hat, all of these things were canceled. But now all the rage is critical race theory. But Rick Scott tried really hard to pander to conservatives there. But really what they want to hear about is how our children are being indoctrinated and they're learning about how white people are the devil in schools, not about how we're being canceled. Nonetheless, you could see him like desperately try to get applause here. And, you know, they don't really care about what he's saying. Democrats want to tell us what to say and how to say it or else we will be canceled from our jobs, our churches, our schools, our entire life. They want to cancel us. How many of you are not even sure what you can say right now? You're worried about what you can say will be socially acceptable. I believe there's going to be a big backlash coming. It's going to come from all of us. And there's nothing that Democrats can do to stop us. OK, so to be fair, he did get a little bit of an applause towards the end of that clip there. But I mean, I love this implication that it's really conservatives who are the true champions of freedom of speech and individuality and ideological diversity.   He says here, Democrats want to tell us what to say, how to say it or else. We will be canceled from our jobs, our churches, our schools, our entire life. They want to cancel us. Basically, if you didn't already know, conservatives, you're the victim and the left is coming after you. I don't necessarily know what social clout the left has with churches. Nonetheless, I don't think you're going to be canceled from your churches any time soon, conservatives. And he adds how many of you feel you're not even sure what you can say right now, you're worried about what you can say will be socially acceptable. And, you know, he's implying that it's only the left who will cancel your scold you. But why don't we put this theory to the test, Rick? How about this? You can say that the COVID-19 vaccines are incredibly effective and people in that audience should take the COVID-19 vaccines if they want to stop themselves from catching a highly contagious deadly disease. He's not going to say that because he knows that that's not politically correct at CPAC, so it's not like Republicans are any different. And he wouldn't say something like that because he knows the way that the crowd would react. In fact, another speaker actually got applause from the crowd when he stated that the United States isn't meeting expectations with regard to COVID-19 vaccinations. Take a look. Clearly, they were hoping, the government was hoping that they could sort of sucker 90 percent of the population into getting vaccinated. And it and it and it isn't happening, right? There's a younger people. I know that there's the Delta variant and the possible Lambda variant. That's even more contagious than the Delta variant. But guess what, folks? We are not meeting our targets when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines. Yeah. Great. This is awesome. Great news, everyone.  They're they're celebrating the fact that not enough people are getting vaccinated. It's just it is absurd to me. I don't even know what to make of it. But on the subject of COVID-19, you could tell how deranged Republicans are when the South Dakota governor, Kristi Noem, talked about her failures when it comes to COVID-19 and her mishandling of the pandemic as if it's something to be celebrated. And she even denounced Republican governors who dare to take the pandemic seriously. We talk about rewriting history. Let's talk about rewriting history. We've got Republican governors across this country pretending they didn't shut down their states, that they didn't close their beaches, that they didn't mandate masks, that they didn't issue shelter in places. Now, I'm not picking fights with Republican governors. All I'm saying is that we need leaders with grit, that their first instinct is to make the right decision that they don't backtrack and then try to fool you into the fact that they never made the wrong decision. Her state is consistently one of the worst in the country when it comes to new cases, new infections, deaths due to COVID-19. And yet she's basically saying I refused to take action during this pandemic, even though 600,000 Americans died. But I'm the hero. The individuals who instituted mask mandates, they're the ones who are actually bad. It's like a celebration of death. And of course, that's to be expected from basically a psychopathic death cult, which the GOP largely is. And I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that. Like when you're literally celebrating your refusal to institute basic precautions to stop the spread of a highly contagious disease.   But moving on to King Chud, of course, unexpectedly, he still is the standard bearer of the Republican Party. A CPAC straw poll show that he is dominating. So when it comes to the 2024 GOP primary, Donald Trump has a commanding lead with 70 percent. So he knows he's still the defacto leader of the Republican Party and nobody's even going to come close. And he bragged about that. On the Democrat side or the I love my Republicans, but we're really kicking their ass, too. But we love them. But we like it because they're friends of ours, right? So it's OK. I think we can say that affectionately. I mean, it's Trump. He's braggadocious. That's exactly what I expected him to talk about, of course. And he's going to get even worse as the GOP primary approaches. But in case you were wondering, is he still peddling the big lie that led to the January 6th insurrection? And the answer is, yeah, he's still telling people that he won when he didn't. It's true. We all won. We all won. Actually, you didn't win. You lost. And it wasn't even that close. So, you know, if if you don't know by now that Donald Trump is a compulsive liar, then I don't know what to say.   By the way, you have a poll coming out. Unfortunately, I want to know what it is that, you know, they do that straw poll, right? Now, if it's bad, I just so I say it, it's fake. If it's good, I say that's the most accurate poll, perhaps everything. Of course, when he admits that he lies to benefit himself, they laugh. I almost forgot that we were dealing with a cult for a second. It's just if a politician that I was supporting admitted that they lie when it serves their political narrative, I would not support that individual. Even if I agreed with them on policy, like if Bernie Sanders or Nina Turner admitted that they make things up to create a sort of narrative, I would really struggle to support them still because that's bad. Like I want people in America to believe in facts and empirical reality. And so long as we're knowingly spreading lies, you know, it's bad for society. It's unhealthy for democracy. But I mean, of course, they just, they love him more.  So I mean, there's not much left to say. I could probably show you a dozen more clips, but you get the point.  And this year obviously was no different. And I could only wait to see what the next CPAC has in store for us. But, you know, we don't necessarily have to look to that because if you really want like a showcase in GOP stupidity, the 2024 GOP primary, which will start promptly in 2023, that's going to be like quintessential GOP stupidity on focus. Except maybe it won't go on that long because again, Donald Trump really has a stronghold on this party. We'll see what happens. But yeah, every time I see one of these events, I get a little bit more misanthropic and the humanist in me dies a little more. And the misanthropist in me takes over a little bit, but I'm fighting. It's like a battle between good and evil. It's like a battle to not give up all hope in my mind. There's like an angel and a demon on each shoulder.  We're not going to make it. And the other is saying, no, this isn't, everyone in America, this is just a small, albeit large vocal minority. It's just, it's a battle. And either way, regardless if the angel or demon on my shoulder wins, I still get a little bit more depressed each time from these events. It's sad to see stupidity put on display and celebrated. People are telling me about how wonderful the humanist report is, bigly.


Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about breastfeeding, the science and an art, this is session number 5 and very interesting session because now we are going to start with you know breast milk, breastfeeding, art, science you know, so you will learn about infant nutrition, extremely important in child's life because that gives foundation to child's health. So you know we always think that only poor mothers or uneducated mothers or illiterate mothers they may need help or sometimes people feel that oh somebody who is highly educated you know she may need help because she does not probably know the culture or you know there are all these myths you know but what we found that whether a woman is educated whether she is coming from very you know I mean earliest quintile or if she is poor or she is tribal, open does not matter, each and every woman needs guidance with breastfeeding. So it is important that you know we do not create this you know kind of preconceived notion that you know she will need help or she will know it or you know every woman needs help. So that is important to know. Human milk, beautiful, beautiful infograph, what it has it has different sections okay as you can see and it gives kind of information about the ingredient of human milk, content of human milk okay. So we will start with basically the right most corner, top right most corner. What it has it has all this threonine and methionine, cysteine those are all amino acids, amino acids make your protein okay. So basically it has all the amino acids which are required in the diet all of them it has essential amino acid, it has non-essential amino acids very good very digestible protein breast milk has it is called whey protein so very high in whey protein very easily digestible okay. Second section over here it is your triglyceride your you know all these different kind of fats loric acid and you know phosphatidylcholine and all this these are all basically different kind of fats okay. The kind of fat that breast milk has it has omega 3 DHA and EPA and those fats are important for your brain baby's brain for eyes and for heart okay so and there are many studies that as I mentioned earlier also many studies which are published showing that babies who take mother's milk have higher IQ and that's because of the kind of fat that mother's milk has. When you buy a formula you know what they do is they remove the cow milk's fat so they remove that saturated fat which is important for brain okay and they put in all vegetable oils okay so that's it's kind of unnatural really so that's why I've given in one of my tutorial on complications of you know formula and cow milk about this fats another thing what it has these are your macrophages so IgA Ig you know complements this all basically your immune function immune cells okay breast milk is a live substance so if you add any micro bacteria or any any you know bacteria or viruses it immediately gets killed okay because this breast milk is a live product very very very important macrophage macrophages are those large cells macro means large the large cells and they engulf bacteria they engulf you know a lot of your microorganisms okay it has all immunoglobulin it has IgA you know IgM IgE there are all these immunoglobulins that that breast milk has and that's why you know even in COVID you know babies are protected if babies get mother's milk right any type any type of infection if mother has any kind of infection in fact breast milk will increase those immune cells you know we'll fight against the infection so many times mother may ask whether I can breastfeed yes she can breastfeed even if she has cold cough diarrhea any of those infection okay even in HIV actually mother can breastfeed okay alright then you have this are all enzymes so enzymes are you know your intertripsin and histamine is this all enzymes which digest your you know your food and it is helping in a lot of biochemical reactions okay this are all your hormones so you have your T3, T4, TSH you know all all those different prostaglandin, cholecystokinin, cortisol, insulin so mother's milk has all this you know hormones leptin again very very important for the baby okay here what you have in this section you have kind of growth hormone kind of factors you know so it has you know GCSF it has you know calcitonin it isn't like all this other kind of hormones insulin like growth factors it's all again you know kind of ingredient which are required for growth okay then you have over here all the vitamins so basically all your fact soluble vitamin and what soluble vitamin remember if vitamins are low in mother then those mothers will have less vitamin in their breast milk okay vitamin is your type one nutrient so any type one nutrient which is lacking in mother will be lacking in breast milk also this one also has minerals so you have your zinc iodine all that potassium magnesium you know so type 2 micronutrient will not kind of you know change so much if mother is lacking because those micronutrient will come from cells will come from muscle tissue okay so that remember that type 2 micronutrient does not change in breast milk then you have something called nucleotides okay so this are your nucleotides very important information of DNA you know in repair of DNA kind of making new cells so this all your nucleotides which are present in mother's milk okay so there is nothing that you can compare to mother's milk the best natures gift to baby really so please make sure that each and every mother get this information we have a very good tutorial on importance of breastfeeding complications of formulas and calm well you know if you have any family member who is planning to become pregnant or who's pregnant you know please kind of pass on this to all to them it's it's crucial that mother and the family listen to you know what science has to say okay and once they understand this then I would recommend that they watch those you know technique tutorial you know the art of breastfeeding because that's that's another thing which is which is kind of you know you have to pass through that hurdle okay because many mothers give up too soon you know because of the poor technicality okay of your understanding of the techniques okay so let's talk a little bit about science of breast milk so you know breast milk has a lot of different factors of course most important is your nutrition right it's optimum in nutrition for an infant you can they don't need anything except probably vitamin D it is optimal food for health growth and development of the infant it's not only beneficial to infant but also to mothers okay what are the advantage of breastfeeding so basically tell nutritional factors it has immunological factors it has psychological factors economical factors and physiological patterns okay now this is the table which shows the composition human milk composition it is compared to cow milk and buffalo milk okay so if you look at comparison so this is your protein so protein is lowest in human milk but is highly digestible okay very easily digestible cow milk protein is predominantly casein casein protein is really hard you know very heavy it's the same protein basically when you make paneer out of milk you know so that casein that paneer is casein and whatever water is left behind that's way okay just make sure when you make paneer at home don't throw away that way you know just use it and either right making rice or dal or whatever you make you know and buffalo milk has 4.3 grams of protein so buffalo milk has highest protein okay carbohydrate basically highest in human milk okay fats highest in buffalo milk 6.5 grams for 100 ml calcium you can see look at the amount of calcium you know cow milk and buffalo milk some of the highest amount phosphorus again is increasing okay not necessarily good for baby in a so much high amount and basically vitamin C is high in human milk okay so this is just a main difference basically between human milk cow milk and buffalo milk this is what I spoke about that protein is low in human milk you know kind of high in cow and goat here they have given goat so protein is kind of you know pretty much little bit lower than cow but higher than human milk lactose as I told you earlier also lactose is higher in human milk kind of little bit less in cow and goat milk but goat milk has a high amount of fat as you can see goat milk is very fatty this is the difference between four milk and high milk okay now if you look at mature milk mature milk comes in say on around day three you have a transition milk and after about a week or so then a mature milk comes in so when the mature milk comes in the front part of the milk okay which is in the front part of the breast it's four milk that's kind of little bit watery and it has kind of good amount of protein but the fat fat is not much in form as you can see over here the fat is not much okay high milk the back part of the milk okay that is much higher in fat so babies who drink much more of a baby completely empties one breast those babies kind of tend to do well not only in terms of weight but also like you because fat is again very high in omega omega you know your DHAPA okay so make sure that you completely empty your breast and then go on the other side when you completely empty you know you want to do objective examination by looking at breast the breast you know I will show you in my one tutorial how to express manually you know but there is a technique to it so you learn it okay you make sure that there is no hand milk left then you go on the other side okay close trim is basically your fat close trim is very fatty and it's high amount of protein okay you can see compared to mature milk look at the amount of fat it has amount of protein because it's so much it's a very small quantity that the babies get in the beginning the mothers produce so it's very kind of calorie dense okay and a lot time you know initially for a couple of days you know baby tend to sleep more do not worry about it you know it's okay because it has good amount of fat and protein okay so that is about colostrum in one of our tutorial we have given how much colostrum mothers get you know on day one day two day three day four it's important to understand that because many times for the feel that oh I'm not getting milk I'm not getting milk but you need to know that there's only some amount of milk that they'll get okay carbohydrate human milk is the sweetest milk due to high amount of lactose lactose which is present in higher level in human milk facilitate absorption of magnesium calcium and amino acids okay so that lactose is really important in mothers milk the high content of galactolipids promote rapid brain growth also so it's important for brain growth and galactose which is milk sugar present in milk is essential for formation of myelin okay which is important for the normal function nerve function myelin is the sheet which covers the nerve nerve you know cells so galactose is really important it gives you know immediate energy to the baby okay next is your macro protein protein is present in the form of lacto argument okay that's your milk protein which forms a soft curd so many times you see when the baby finish feeding they will have a little bit of a cuddling you know like a cuddle the milk cuddles and that's that's your lacto argument and this lacto is very easily digestible and absorb by infant very fast so it's it's predominantly a way protein okay human milk is rich in sulfur now you know of course in my previous session I discussed about sulfur again crucial for liver crucial for you know brain development systems important for brain development so just make sure that babies get a human milk okay it is also rich in a amino acid called taurine and taurine is a very important neurotransmitter okay we're just discussing very kind of short I don't want to go too much in detail because you know we have kind of people from different backgrounds so I don't want to go too much in that medical aspect of for nutrition and dietitian nutrition aspect of breast milk you know but we have explained a very simple way in our tutorials now this is the difference of quality of protein in different milk so here if you look at it human milk has predominantly whey protein 35% casein over here cow milk has 80% casein casein is the no paneer okay so definitely when children have cow milk it's very difficult to digest they tend to have a lot more vomiting bloating you know stomach upset babies who are breastfed they are generally very quiet you know unless they have colic okay but otherwise they are they are pretty happy babies now let's talk about fats so fats in present and human milk are essential fatty acids they also have cholesterol unsaturated fatty acid and phospholipids okay so cholesterol is one of the most important you know nutrient which are required for brain formation and for brain function and for myelene you know myelene synthesis so please you know make sure that you kind of give your milk okay and cholesterol is not bad infants have very limited ability to convert alpha linonic acid to EPADH that means what what it means that some of the vegetable oils like flaxseeds oil walnut oil you know some of this vegetable oils have omega 3 but which omega 3 alpha linonic acid okay only 4 to 10% of those alpha linonic acid gets converted to you know your EPADH okay now young children young babies they don't have ability to convert this alane to EPADH okay so even if suppose they are not drinking mother's milk and if they're taking sick our milk or formula you know formulas doesn't have EPADH they claim that they have added EPADH but studies have not confused if that helps with the child's IQ okay so best way to make your child intelligent is to just give your own milk there are other fats in mother's milk acetylcholine, choline, phospholipids, carnitin this are all basically very important for brain development okay so fat is one of the most important kind of macro in mother's milk then let's talk about minerals mineral is basically you know your sodium potassium magnesium saying the sodium mineral okay breast milk has a low level of iron but it's very highly biodegradable because of the presence of lactobacillus and lactopherin okay which enhances iron absorption calcium to phosphorous ratio is 2 is to 1 which helps in his ideal position okay absorption sorry zinc absorption is also better from breast milk due to presence of zinc binding protein in breast milk okay so all these minerals are there and they are in a very good biodegradable state so it's easy to absorb from breast milk okay similar kind of suppose iron was present in cow's milk but cow milk iron is not biodegradable so even if it may anyway cow milk is not high in iron anyway but whatever iron is there you know it's the biodegradable is very very poor okay vitamins are the vitamin content of human milk choline reflects a vitamin intake and nutritious status of the mother this is why I already explained that if mother is deficient on those vitamins then baby will have vitamin deficiency too so for example most common deficiency which mother has is your vitamin D okay so make sure that babies they get vitamin supplements or at least they expose to the sun okay protection against infection so mother is infected okay I already explained to you what happens when the mother is infected her immunity goes up okay and her immunity basically passes on to the baby through breast milk okay so that's important that you know mother continue to breastfeed even if she has the viral infection for any other bacterial infections doing substance with unique component that cannot be replicated infant formula I keep rating this you know and I cannot say enough it's impact on brain development immunities on parallel it is a personalized medicine for your baby okay very very crucial very important please let mothers know okay it's a personalized medicine it's a foundation of baby cell if breastfeeding kind of not given in first at least minimum in first one day or so you know as I mentioned about the golden hour then the lifelong repetition is bound to happen okay so to prevent from a lot of infections a lot of other conditions you know diseases make sure the children get your milk right away and continue to get milk as long as you can you can give it okay what are the immunological factors the logical factors are present in the milk okay macrophages are those big cells okay I mentioned to you the engulf and digest bacteria okay and thus the bacteria and the viruses responsible diseases can be destroyed in this way okay second one is your lymphocytes those are your white cells lymphocytes are the white blood cells responsible for attacking wide range of infectious organism human will contain T cells and B cells okay T lymphocytes offer protection against malaria what is lactoferrin lactoferrin is iron containing protein found both in colostrum and mature milk okay this is again another important ingredient I want you to remember lactoferrin what it does it inhibits the growth of certain iron dependent bacteria in the GI tract okay and therefore it affords protection against GI infections okay so that's why lactoferrin is really important because it will prevent the diaries especially you know all GI infections also basically it's iron binding iron containing protein okay lactobacillus bifidus factor okay so basically this particular factors present in human milk okay and it has a lot of function what are the function it has it encourages the growth of certain microorganism like lactobacillus bifidus okay that's why it's called lactobacillus bifidus factor okay because it kind of stimulates the growth of this organism and it produces lactic acid okay lactic acid is produced from what from lactose which is your milk sugar okay and what it does what does this lactic acid do it depresses the growth of diseases producing organism like E. coli so there are certain organism which are pathogenic means which causes disease so this particular lactic acid will prevent the growth of those disease producing pathogens or the disease producing organisms okay growth of lactobacillus bifidus enhance on high lactose and low protein ratio present in human milk okay so why does how does this growth of lactobacillus bifidus occur because of the high lactose in milk and also low protein ratio in the human milk okay so your your sugar to protein ratio is low, immunological factor so enzymes breast milk supplies enzymes like amylase, lipoprotein lipase, lactobacillus, peroxylase there's a lot of other enzymes which I showed in the diagram okay this enzyme what it does increases digestibility and act as a defense again microbes okay so there is another factor of immunological is this thing immunoglobulins, immunoglobulins are the defensive protein, secretory IgA IgG IgM are present in human milk, fatty acids and monoglyphsides, fatty acids and monoglyphsides present in human milk are able to penetrate the members of viruses and bacteria and destroy them okay so again very important fatty acids and monoglyphsides okay so breast milk fills immunity and modulate the gene expression which is a fine tune for life okay it's basically gene modulator okay I would say gene expression modulator not the gene modulator gene expression what does it mean is like for example when it's it's basically kind of I would say epigenetic factor epigenetic means it will not change the genes but it will change the environment around the gene so gene will express in a good way okay so the gene expresses like gene expresses that for example if you if somebody has diabetes okay and say if nobody in the family has and that person has diabetes so basically what it means that there are problems in the epigenetic factors is something that went wrong in the environment that that he expressed diabetes okay the gene expressed diabetes or gene modulation there is a gene expression modulate modulated and that's how he developed diabetes so that is your epigenetic factors okay gene by itself does not change that gene changes are basically occurring in mutation you know when you have a mutation when you have a like something like cancer then your gene changes but otherwise most of these diseases which are lifestyle diseases are because not because of genetics it because of the epigenetics is the environment around that person which makes that person get diseases okay so there are a lot of diseases that now insulin resistance is one of the biggest kind of root cause that they have found which causes diabetes blood pressure and all different kind of diseases okay so here I'm going to talk about now how breastfeeding works because unless we understand the physiology about anatomy we won't understand how breast milk is produced and you know what exactly happens okay so here we will discuss about that the cells it causes basically kind of you know contraction of the cells and the milk kind of flows out okay so that's important and when does it work it works before during feed to make milk flow so many times what happens is you know if mother is pumping with the pump okay and she will realize that she's just not getting milk she's not getting milk you know she will get maybe two teaspoon or three teaspoon and mostly that is because she has not gotten the letdown reflex and she will immediately know if she got the letdown reflex by certain signs and symptoms which I'll explain to you later but remember that the letdown reflex is very very important and for that mother has to be in a very good state of mind okay if she's happy if she's confident if she is relaxed you know she will definitely have letdown reflex but if she is not kind of into it she's in pain she's worried she's stressed she's in doubt she's sad you know letdown reflex will not happen and when you don't have letdown reflex the cells do not contract when the cells do not contract the milk does not come into the areola okay so that's why just keep mother happy let her relax tell her to go out for a walk you know not to get too worked up she has to rest drink water they eat proper food you know and then of course relax and meditate I think I really recommend mothers to meditate because that relaxes them a lot okay now what are the signs and symptoms of oxytocin release so most of the time at least in first few weeks or so what happens she feels a suddenly there's a tingling sensation abreast and just before when she's trying to feed or when she's full or when she's thinking of the baby even at work she will suddenly feel the tingling sensation and the milk will start flowing okay so that is kind of very typical sign of oxytocin release but you know you won't see that kind of oxytocin release you know after a couple of months or so so many times she says she feels oh my god now I'm not getting that tingling sensation what happened you know so it's very kind of obvious in first couple of months or so then what happens at you know of course when she's feeding the baby on one side the other side drips that is also sign of oxytocin release that you know she's pushing that milk out basically you know the the breast is pushing that milk out okay and when milk when mother suppose baby comes off the breast suddenly what she sees is like the milk flowing it's like a you know spray coming out of the breast and that's that's amazing actually there's so much of milk coming out you know and that's the importance of let down reflex it but baby will not have to work too hard you know it just milk just flows okay because of oxytocin then you know in early days because of oxytocin there is like a pain from uterine contraction and this there is a rush of blood during this feed in the first week okay and slow deep sucks and swallowing by the baby which shows the breast milk is flowing into his mouth so when you look at baby's mouth you know they'll have slow suck and they'll have really good you know suck then swallow suck and swallow okay few suck and then swallow so that's another way but again you know it's it's very common in first couple of months or so you know and then mothers know babies know so then it kind of decreases you know and that sensation so this is my last slide this happens if mothers don't breastfeed or for some reason she's breastfeeding very infrequently okay or a baby is thick and baby mother is not baby is not sucking then some amount of milk stays into the breast okay those are called milk inhibitor factor MIR okay these are inhibitors it stays in the breast okay and basically it tells the breast that you know milk is not needed you know stop producing the milk okay and that's how basically slowly slowly milk dries up okay and it will stop producing milk so this is your you know milk inhibiting factor okay

Hey y'all, welcome to what Chelsea East. Thank you so much for joining me today. If you have a reproductive issue of any kind such as fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, heavy bleeding, hormonal imbalance, then your liver is sluggish and overworked and it's time to show it some love. In this video, I'm going to be sharing with you some signs and symptoms that you can look for that will show you if you need to detoxify your liver. I will also share with you three tips on what you can do to help detoxify your liver. If you are new here, welcome.  My name is Chelsea Knudsen. I'm a certified holistic health coach and the creator of the 90 day walk to fibroid freedom group coaching program where I help women shrink fibroids and heal reproductive issues naturally using food as medicine. There is a link down in the description box where you can learn more if you're interested. Also be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss an episode. Let's get right into the topic. First of all, I am not a doctor. I am a health coach. And if you are experiencing any of the issues that I'm going to bring up in this video, you may want to check with your health care provider. The information I'm sharing in this video is not medical advice. It's for educational purposes only. So you use your own judgment. So I am going to share with you some signs that may be to the fact that you might need to detoxify your liver. As I said before, use your own judgment. The first one is feeling sluggish, tired and fatigued constantly. Do you have that experience? I know I used to struggle with that. White or yellow-coated tongue, like stick out your tongue, look in the mirror, look at it. Is it white? Is it yellow? Look at it. Check it. Bad breath. You have breath, like halitosis breath. There are lots of people who are walking around with bad breath.  And it could be that your liver is toxic and you need to cleanse your liver. Weight gain, especially in the abdomen region, like a hard belly, like a round belly, but also that could be for other things too, digestive issues. But when you have digestive issues, your liver is tied right into that.  Food cravings definitely point to your liver being overworked and detoxified and needing a detoxification. The next one is blood sugar issues. Are your blood sugar issues all over the place? Do you have high blood sugars, low blood sugars or have you developed insulin resistance? Have you developed pre-diabetic diabetes? Have you developed diabetes? These are all signs that could point to your liver needing to be detoxified. Headaches, unexplained headaches, migraines. Sometimes you might take a medication to get rid of the headache and the headache doesn't go away.  You might stay bloated.  Those are signs that your liver is like, look, I need some help here. And there's other issues that could surround that, but your liver could point to that as well.  It's because probably your liver and your gallbladder need a little bit of work.  Pain on the right side of your stomach. This can be indicative of other issues as well, but the area right underneath your breast where your rib cage is on your right hand side that could be a sluggish liver sluggish gallbladder. And sometimes that pain is really intense. And like if you go to the hospital, a lot of times they'll try to take your gallbladder out because it is congested. And some of you watching this might even have already experienced that. But if you cleanse your liver, you can cleanse your gallbladder. And I'm going to give you some tips on what you can do in just a few minutes. But I used to experience that pain on my right side and it would feel like somebody was almost stabbing me, but it also felt like pressure at times. And I have all my organs. I have never gotten my gallbladder taken out or anything like that. But I believe the reason that I didn't have to get that done at some point in my life, multiple times actually, because I would always go to the edge and then come back, go to the edge and come back, is I would cleanse my liver. And so I wouldn't have the issue anymore. Also, skin breakouts. Oh my goodness.  I would get rashes. I would have dandruff like crazy. And I believe I had was never diagnosed with psoriasis. But the dandruff was so bad in my head that I believe it was actually psoriasis because it was it was these big flakes and they would like if I would touch my scalp, it would be like it was crazy. And at the time that this was happening, I was actually getting relaxers. And I would go to my hairdresser every week to get my hair done and get a wrap. So I would look fresh and everything for work and everything. And my my hairstyle is like, I have treated your scalp. I don't know what's going on. I don't know why you're having all this dandruff. And I realized it was because my liver and my gut, but my liver was like overworked over stimulated, like it was sluggish. And so once I did some cleansing, the psoriasis, dandruff, rashes, acne, all those things went away allergy sensitivities. Like, are you allergic to everything? Like smells craziness around you like like that you weren't allergic to before or sensitive to before. That's a sign that your liver's like, okay, my job is to kind of try to filter through all this stuff, but I'm overworked and I cannot do it. So you'll get an allergic reaction. That's kind of how that works. Also mood swings, hormonal ups and downs, that kind of thing, liver. The liver, also, if you're angry all the time or bitter, or just like always negative, that can be pointing to the fact that you have, you need to cleanse your liver.  And it's not just like you do a liver cleanse and everything is good. Your liver is being bombarded by toxins in the environment and the things that we eat and the things that we drink and the things that we're thinking in our heads on a regular basis. So we have to, we kind of have to be always cleansing or always detoxing, not in some deep cleanse. Like I'm not saying be on a juice fast for your whole life or that you have to be on a specific detox regimen for your whole life in order to keep your liver cleanse. But what I'm saying is, is that we do the best we can to avoid the things that cause our bodies to cause our liver to be toxic in the first place. We do the best that we can in our everyday life. That's how we take care of our liver. But there are some things when you are in trouble, that simple things that you can do to help you get the load off of your liver. And today I'm not going to be talking about like some horrible, like, you know, liver detox that you need to do where you need to drink this potion and, you know, and like fast for three days. And like, I know all about those liver detoxes, and I'm not saying that they don't work, but like I, I don't, I'm not into harsh detoxification. I'm into, let's do something every day. Every day to help us to take the load off of our bodies. That's what I'm into. So there is not some pill that you can take that's going to, oh, let's detoxify your body. There's not some one, you know, process that you can do that's going to detoxify your liver. Like there's, I mean, there are things you can do like that. But it's like, if you don't change what got your liver in the situation that it's in in the first place, there's really not much good you're going to be able to do to your body, do for your liver. Does that make sense? Like you could do all this stuff, like these liver cleanses and all this stuff, all you want to, but if you don't change your lifestyle even a little bit, your liver's still going to be in trouble. You're still going to have all those symptoms. Hopefully you're getting what I'm saying. So the first thing, I'm going to give you three tips. The first thing to do is to get rid of the foods that are causing the problems. So if you haven't already downloaded my foods to avoid to help you shrink fibroids naturally e-book, then download it because if you avoid the foods that are on that list, it's automatically going to help take the pressure off of your liver. And it's not just about fibroids. That foods to avoid list, I wrote it for fibroids because that was the thing that most people had the most problem with in my audience. So I wrote it for it, but use that list. If you have fibroids, PCOS, endometriosis, heavy bleeding, cysts, polyps, low iron, whatever it is you have, use it because what it'll do is take the load off of your body and you will start to cleanse your body and you'll start to feel better. So there's a link down in the description box below. So below this video where you can download that e-book and I'll even put it up in the cards. I'm not sure if it's the right or the left side, but you get my drift. But these foods that we eat, like the meat, the dairy, the alcohol, the caffeine, the sugar, the processed foods, the foods that are on that list, they bombard our liver with toxins and in turn your liver cannot function the way it was created to function. So when you stop eating these foods, you give your liver a break and a chance to cleanse and heal from being neglected over the years. So download that foods to avoid lists as soon as you possibly can, start to implement the process of not eating those foods and the list is the same for all reproductive issues and for detoxifying the liver. So get rid of those foods and you're like, Chelsea, what am I supposed to eat? What am I supposed to eat if I detoxify, if I take all these foods out? Well, you can look at the recipe playlist on my website, on my YouTube channel. The link to the playlist is down in the description box below, like there's what I eat in a day playlist and recipe playlist so you can look at those. Also, my website recipe section is going to be up soon. I know that I took it down earlier this year, but I was revamping my website and we're still working on getting that together and I'm hoping to have that by the end of the year done so you can see recipes that I have up there for free. If not, I have ebooks that you can purchase where you can get meal plans and you don't even have to use them as meal plans. You can use them as like recipe references, like what do I eat? Go and follow those recipes in there and you will start to feel better. Number two, drink loads of water every single day. This will help your body to flush toxins and help cleanse your liver thoroughly. Make sure you are drinking the cleanest water you can find. My water of choice is distilled water. I don't drink out of plastic bottles. I think it's toxic. I do it in an emergency situation, but when I do carry water with me and I can't use a glass bottle, I would try to buy the boxed, the paper or the boxed water bottles, which nowadays they're selling them in Whole Foods, Sprouts Farmers Market, and I don't know if there's any other place where they're selling them. Maybe Kroger or maybe Harris Teter. I'm not sure, but those are the places where I buy water. That's the type of water that I try to buy if I'm out and I don't have my distilled water with me. I don't buy distilled water in the plastic containers because it is toxic. I do have a distiller and I will put a link down in the description box of which distiller I use. It's a mega-home water distiller and I will put a link up here in the card so you can see that as well. But it is the best water because my body can actually absorb it because it doesn't have all the junk in it that causes my body not to want to receive the water into my cells. The other thing that I do, too, is I will structure my water by adding lemons or limes. Limes are my favorite. They seem to do the best with helping my body to absorb the water. The one thing I want to say is if you are adding lemons or limes to your water, do not, under any circumstances, use lemon or lime in a plastic bottle. I don't care if it's BPA-free or not because what happens is the lemon leaches because it's astringent, it leaches the plastic out of the bottle. So you're drinking this lemon water thinking you're doing great, but you're also drinking the plastic particles from the lemon leaching into the water, the plastic into the water. So it's kind of like you're defeating the purpose of what you're trying to do. So if you're going to put lemon or lime in your water, use either stainless steel or glass. But that's how I drink my water. But the other way you get water is through eating raw fruits and vegetables as much as you can, because there's plenty of water in that and your body will absorb the water from the fruits and vegetables. Okay, and now next, how much water should I drink? So people always ask me that. I think you need at least three liters of water every day because, and that doesn't include like your herbal teas and stuff like that that you drink. Because some herbal teas are have, some herbs have flushing or are flushing herbs. And so it kind of takes the water from your body to actually detoxify your organ or gland that it's working on. So you have to drink extra water. So I say don't even count the water in your herbal tea. Drink your three liters of water, 96 ounces, and that might seem like a lot, but it's not our bodies need 2.7 liters of water every day to for our organs and glands to function normally. And you're like, how am I supposed to drink that much? Well, build up to it. And when you build up to it and you get into a habit of it, you will start to feel better, you will start to get used to it. And then what you'll start seeing happen is your periods will get better, your skin will start looking better, your bowel movements will start to come for those of you who are are constipated, your liver will start working properly, it will start to cleanse your the symptoms that you're having from the the vibrate situation or the reproductive issue you're having will start to alleviate. You'll, if you want to reverse anemia, you need to be hydrated anyway, because you need hydration in order to make new blood cells.  So don't don't like forget water, water is important, our bodies are made up of like 70 or 80% water. I can't remember which one it is right now. And if you drink almost no water, like what is your body made up of? Like where's it getting its water? It's why you don't feel good. All right, so here's the third tip. Use herbs that are known to help the liver. I made an herbal blend that will help you to cleanse the liver and help balance your hormones.  You can go to whatchelsieets.com and click on herbal blends or you can go to deeprooted herbalblends.com. Either one what Chelsea eats is probably the easiest to go and get this liver tea. It's nutrient dense. It is excellent for flooding the body with vitamins and minerals. It's high in minerals. It helps to balance the hormones. And remember when the liver is congested, it's hard for your hormones to balance. It helps to cleanse and support the liver. It's high in iron. It nourishes the blood. It detoxifies the blood. It strengthens the uterus. It strengthens your digestive tract. It can support anti-inflammatory, anti- ulcer, anti-cancer lifestyle. This tea is excellent for helping you to cleanse your liver. And all you have to do is drink it every day. If you drink it once in a while, I can't say that it's going to do miracles, but if you drink it every day, what I do- This is how I make my herbal tea. Let's pretend there is liver cleanser tea in this jar. So what I take is three spoons of each tea that I'm going to use for that day. And I put it in the mason jar, the four cup mason jar, the one that is the tallest mason jar. And I put those herbs in that jar and then I pour boiling hot water over those herbs. And I do it at night and I let it steep overnight. And in the morning, I strain the herbs and then I sip on the tea throughout the next day. I cover the jar with a lid and I let it sit on my counter overnight. I do drink my liver tea every day, but there's other herbs that I drink for my particular body. And I will sip on that tea all day long, drink it at room temperature. And that's how I get it in. But to learn more about the tea that I'm talking about for the liver, there is a link down in the description box. So I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, please give this video a heart or a like, I should say, and share it with everyone you know. And one of the things I want to leave you with today is if no one told you that they love you today, Chelsea in North Carolina loves you very much. And I will talk to you all soon. Take care. Lots of love to you.
