Family Issues

My family is the most important thing to me. It saddens me everytime I hear news about family breaking up- stories of abuse and divorce.

But not all divorces should end on a sad note. I also know a lot of families whose parents are divorced but get along great, even with stepparents in the mix. The key here is to be able to get a good Family Lawyer Dayton Ohio that can advise you legally on what to do and a therapist to guide you through a divorce.

Family Lawyer Dayton Ohio is someone you can always seek from recommendations from friends.

Treatment for Sinus Infections: The Natural Way

No sinus infections in the house for years. When we get stuffed up we get relief in under a minute, and it doesn’t settle or move into the chest. Inhale it from the bottle, or put a few drops on a tissue or cotton swab to carry around/ sleep with. When it is all of us I put 20 drops or so with a cup or 2 of water and simmer on the stove for a few hours. That also prevents colds from spreading(anitbacterial and antiviral). One person I know puts it in her vacuum when she vacuums.

Delivery Meal Systems

Healthy Delivered Meals UCLA is one of the things I really like to try sometime.

I don’t know how to cook so when you are trying to lose weight it can be hard to coordinate calorie counting when you are relying on help to cook food which is generally for everybody in the family.

I want to try it for one week so I can take a look at the usual menu and try to copy it. I also like to try juicing for three days.

Healthy Delivered Meals UCLA is really good if you need to have a very strict low calorie but well-balanced diet.

Foods with Aspartame to Avoid

Aspartame is an artificial sugar substitute used in a variety of foods to reduce calorie content. While aspartame is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, controversy still exists regarding its safety. Mercola reports that aspartame consumption can lead to cancer, birth defects, diabetes and seizures. Cutting back may protect your health now and in the future. NutraSweet is one name brand for aspartame.

In fact, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a lifelong use of aspartame can lead to the development of cancer,

Breast Cancer Prevention Tips

1) Do monthly self-exams and get an annual mammogram once you’re old enough. Forget the goofy cartoons showing women with pancaked breasts after getting a mammogram. The procedure doesn’t hurt. When you are 40, mammograms should be done yearly.

2) Limit alcohol consumption. Drinking raises the risk of breast cancer; your risk goes up by 7 percent with each drink you have per day.

3) Control your weight. Obesity has a strong association with greater breast cancer risk, especially in post-menopausal women. It’s unclear whether or not losing weight helps lower risk, so the best prevention is to just avoid gaining in the first place.

4) Exercise. Yes, it seems to be the fix for everything, but that’s because it practically is a magic bullet. With regard to breast cancer, working out hard at least four hours per week drops your risk up to 40 percent.

5) Know your family history. Having a first-degree relative (mother or sister) with breast cancer raises your risk of someday getting it too. Being aware of your history could change your doctor’s recommendations for screening, so talk to your family now. However, most breast cancer occurs in women without a family history, so that’s not a free pass.

6) Consider saying no to hormone therapy. Estrogen-progestin therapies used to treat menopause raise the risk of breast cancer by 26 percent. Unless there is a compelling reason to use hormone therapy, think very carefully before you start popping pills.
