The news is everywhere – On TV, radio, online and the newspaper. The speculation is that the Swine Flu breakout may become a pandemic. The key word is MAY. Right now, it is NOT a pandemic. Now is the time to take all the precautions we can to avoid this illness.
First we need to be able to recognize the Swine Flu. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.”
It’s time to take preventive measures:
Prevention is the best course of action. Living a healthy lifestyle keeps your body in the best shape to ward off illnesses of all kinds. You can’t go back and do things over, but you can start from today and make a better future.
What are you doing to get healthy and stay healthy?
I’m learning as I go. I really liked my original header (pictured here) because it was so personal. Each pic along the bottom of the header meant something special to me. But, as I learned more about blogging and studied other blogs, I decided to go with a cleaner, more sleek look in a header.
If you’re getting a migraine, here are 4 things you can do that may help . . .
Changing your diet may help to avoid a migraine in the future. Foods that may trigger a migraine include . . .
It’s difficult to make big changes to your diet. If you find you can’t quit these foods immediately, try to keep cutting back until you rarely eat them.
In addition to taking daily vitamins, here’s a list of extra supplements that have helped others . . .
I found charts on The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) website that talk about a safe/tolerable exposure levels of lead for women an children. Could there really be a SAFE and TOLERABLE exposure level of lead? I thought lead accumulates in the body. ANY level of lead sounds bad to me.
One chart lists the provisional total tolerable intake levels (PTTI) for children and adult women. That sounds like the amount of lead that’s OK, according to the FDA, if children and women ingest it every day. Another chart lists vitamin brands and the amount of exposure in a daily dose.
I checked for my vitamins. They aren’t on the chart. I’m relieved. But, I saw many brands that I recognize: Centrum, Flintstones, One A Day, The Vitamin Shoppe, Solaray, Puritan’s Pride, Twinlab, GNC, Solgar, Sundown and Viactiv. These are just a few of the brands on the FDA’s chart.
Our health is in our hands. Choosing a good vitamin may take a little research, but it will be well worth it over time. Look for a company you can trust – One that does research on the ingredients it uses, quality control tests on the products and has a good reputation. I found one that works well for me.
I’ve gone from green thumb to living green. After spending 20 years of summers out in the yard – planting flowers and vegetables, watering, weeding and reaping the harvest – I’m now going green with the realization that we need to take care of ourselves, our families and the earth. And I found a company to help me do it. I’m a Shaklee distributor.
Going to antique stores isn't as much fun since I started saying "I used to have one of these."
