The method has been practised for a while and has also been captured on celluloid by Hollywood in the film &amp;lsquo;Patch Adams&amp;rsquo;. In the film (based on a true story) Patch Adams is the name of a student&lt;br&gt;
of medicine, who decides to use humour to help patients. The role was played by Robin Williams, Hollywood&amp;rsquo;s leading comedian.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This technique has been adopted in Brazil, to great success. Members of the &amp;lsquo;Group of Frolic&amp;rsquo; (Turma da Pholia) regularly visit hospitals to cheer patients in Rio de Janeiro. Their clowning around helps in the treatment, say doctors. While their methods might be somewhat unusual, a sound principle governs them: a good state of mind can increase the immunity of a patient and speed up recovery.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Potatoes get you in the pink of health</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/news-for-kids/world-news/potatoes-get-you-in-the-pink-of-health/</link><pubDate>Sun, 29 Oct 2006 05:34:08 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/news-for-kids/world-news/potatoes-get-you-in-the-pink-of-health/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where: Spain&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;June 25, 2007:&lt;/strong&gt; Word&amp;rsquo;s just in: potatoes are good for you. But, you may still have to hold off on those fries you&amp;rsquo;ve been eyeing. Turns out, potatoes are best eaten in a cold salad, and not drowned in oil.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A team of Spanish researchers say that eating potatoes could have a beneficial effect on the body&amp;rsquo;s immune system. They&amp;rsquo;re rich in vitamin C and B-complex, have good doses of minerals like iron, calcium, managanese, magnesium and phosphorus, and believe it or not, are great for the tummy.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>बैंगन के गुण</title><link>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/hindi-stories-for-kids/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%88%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A8-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87-%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A3/</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Dec 1998 16:09:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/hindi-stories-for-kids/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A5%88%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%A8-%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87-%E0%A4%97%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%A3/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;बबलू बहुत देर से अपनी बहन से झगड़ रहा था। बहन उससे बड़ी थी और काफी देर से सब्र कर रही थी। आखिर उसे गुस्सा आ गया। बोली चुप करता है या नहीं, वरना मार मार कर भरता बना दूंगी।&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;बबलू सिर्फ झगड़ालू ही नहीं खाने का भी बड़ा शौकीन था। उसने भरता सुनते ही बहन की जुबान पकड़ ली, अरे वाह! भरता तो मुझे बेहद पसंद है। बैंगन का भरता गरमा गरम पराठे के साथ। बहन ने समझ लिया कि अपने पाजी भाई से जीतने वाली वह नहीं। उसने ही सुलह करने की पहल की। पेटु राम, जब देखो तब खाने की सूझती है। अच्छा यह बताओ भरता खाना है बैंगन का। बबलू इतनी आसानी से समझौता करने वाला जीव नहीं था। उसने कहा, मुझे बैंगन का भरता थोड़ी खाना है मुझे तो बघार के बैंगन ज्यादा पसन्द है।&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
