Allergy alert

Allergy alert
Many people like me, experience respiratory ailments like hay fever from exposure to molds and dust mites, some without even knowing the source of their symptoms. It is not fun. It really mess up my mood and my day. Asthma can result from prolonged exposure to these allergens. To limit health problems, it’s wise to make your home environment as allergen-free as possible.

Dust mites thrive in many areas of the typical home, so it’s important to control the amount of dust that accumulates. Carpeting and upholstered furniture are two common dust collectors. For those with serious allergies, removing the carpet is highly recommended. Clothes also attract dust, so confining them to closets and using protective covers for items that get infrequent use can help to control mites.

Healthier homes

Homes need to be the best place to live in. It should be clean or free from dust.
Encourage a flow of air through your home by opening windows - except those facing a busy road! Buy houseplants - these will filter out some air pollutants. Install an extractor fan in your kitchen. Use old-fashioned cleaning products (such as vinegar and bicarbonate of soda) instead of harsh chemical-based ones.

How to stop cats from scratching furnitures?

Many cat owners have this problem: won’t stop scratching the furniture! Such behaviour must be stopped - using food.
There could be a million reasons for the cats’ behaviour, and to find out one would need a detailed case history. However, cats may have a problem with their food or the way they are fed. Sharpening nails by scratching furniture is preparing for the hunt, which cat can’t do on the top floor of a flat. It is good to try to set up a 24/7 permanent, self service, carvery of all their favourite food. Cats will probably stop sharpening up their weapons on the furniture. Their environment should be enriched by providing them with something to do all day with their very bright and intelligent brain. Make the cats walk, hide-aways, tunnels and mobile toys. And most of all make the cats tummies full so they can get to sleep if they wish. We should remember that we can’t sleep on an empty stomach either. These will help solve the problem.

The Basics to Practice Every Day

Health is very important to us. As we face the world each day, there are a lot of demands that sometimes it hiders our daily routine. No matter how my day brings, I make it sure that I do not forget to do the basic things we need to do each day. It will help us face the world with courage and strength. Take time to do these things.

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it’s a stress buster. Think ‘move’ in small increments of time. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that’s great when you’re up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!

2. Cut Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Quit Smoking
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we’ve seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or ‘tough guy’ stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Reduce Stress
Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

5. Protect Yourself from Pollution
If you can’t live in a smog-free environment, at least avoid smoke-filled rooms, high traffic areas, breathing in highway fumes and exercising near busy thoroughfares. Exercise outside when the smog rating is low. Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good. Plant lots of shrubbery in your yard. It’s a good pollution and dirt from the street deterrent. Thought for the day: ‘Smoke gets in your eyes’…and your mouth, and your nose and your lungs as do pollutants….hum the tune daily.

6. Wear Your Seat Belt
Statistics show that seat belts add to longevity and help alleviate potential injuries in car crashes. Thought for the day: Buckle down and buckle up.

7. Floss Your Teeth
Recent studies make a direct connection between longevity and teeth flossing. Nobody knows exactly why. Perhaps it’s because people who floss tend to be more health conscious than people who don’t? Thought for the day: Floss and be your body’s boss.

8. Avoid Excessive Drinking
While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day (two for men) can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney disease and cancer. Thought for the day: A jug of wine should last a long time.

9. Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There’s a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life. Thought for the day: You can’t be unhappy when you’re smiling or singing.

10. Choose Your Parents Well
The link between genetics and health is a powerful one. But just because one or both of your parents died young in ill health doesn’t mean you cannot counteract the genetic pool handed you. Thought for the day: Follow these basic tips for healthy living and you can better control your own destiny.
