This weeks mom tips:
Organizing Tip: Make your bed first thing in the morning when you get out of bed.
Time Saving Tip: Create a box/folder just for bills. Compile all you need to get the job done including stamps, envelops, checkbook and of course the bills. Having it all in one place allows you to easily get the task done. Just pull out the box whenever you have a free minute.
Green Tip: Replace 5 light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights (CFLs). According to the Department of Energy and the US EPA, Energy Star CFL bulbs are up to 66 percent more efficient and last up to 10 times longer than standard bulbs.
Keeping your child well during the cold and flu season
The cause of the common cold is the rhinovirus. And, like all other viruses, the rhinovirus has no cure. A virus infiltrates a cell and rewrites the DNA to mimic the virus. From there it continues to replicate these viral cells.
The way to fight a virus is to fight the symptoms. There are over 200 types of rhinovirus causing the common cold. The cold virus you get today may not be the same one you contract next year.
Cold viruses attack the respiratory system. We cough, sneeze, our noses run, our eyes run, we get a sore throat, and we generally feel really, really bad. People can function with a cold but often it takes all the strength we can muster.
When our immune system is compromised we are more susceptible to the viruses invading our bodies. The “compromise” can come when we are rundown and tired.
Our bodies are ill prepared to fight the potential infection.
Protect the one you love and yourself by taking care of colds and flu at the first sign of symptoms.
There are ways to help avoid colds and flu. Eating certain foods can fight infections and other nasty things that attack the body.
What we eat is important. It is our food that provides the nutrients to sustain our body’s metabolism, cellular function, and defenses. A lack of those nutrients and the body starts to feel ill inside.
Calcium, protein, fruits, vegetables are all required to make the body function properly. If you are not getting plenty of these in your diet your body will find way to get them by robbing from your muscles, bones and other body parts.
Watch what you and your children eat. It not only tastes good on the outside but does a body good on the inside.
