If they can, why can’t you

It’s easier said than done, you say. But wait ’till you hear the stories of those who have successfully quit smoking cigarettes and cheap humidors for the better. I won’t say there is an easy way; I know it’s a struggle because a family member used to smoke. Good thing he heed my pleading before it’s too late.

If you want to stay healthy, the best thing you can do is ditch all the unhealthy practices that you may have right now. You may want to talk to experts to explain to you all the things you need to know about the dangers of smoking. It’s better to quit early than be sorry later on.

Allergies and You

That popping their allergy prescription before eating something they know will have them ending up all red and blotchy is not a very healthy practice but has been a common day-to-day activities for most people with allergies to a lot of different food items, most especially fish and sea foods. Although you might certainly feel most deprived if you will not eat these delicious and mouth-watering foods it will always be best to always avoid those food items that you know can be harmful to you, than to be sorry in the end. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” remember the line? And it does ring true to this day. So instead of eating half-a-serving or skipping the lobster tails, why not skip that dish altogether and settle for the salad or the pasta instead. You wouldn’t want to clog your body with all the anti-allergy prescriptions, plus your body will thank you for it.

Tips to Be a Healthier Mom

That moms should not get sick is a cardinal rule and something that we always pray for, but, human as we are, we are susceptible to sickness as the next man and would sometimes fell ill, too. But even if we need to take it easy for awhile, at least until we get better, we also need to make sure that our little ones’ needs are taken care of and that the house is running as smoothly as ever. So, in between taking that much needed rest and fixing snacks for the children or coming up with Kitchen Cabinet Ideas for the pending kitchen renovations, why not try the following for a healthier and fitter you:

· Ditch that half-sedentary lifestyle and walk. Walking even just around your neighborhood in the morning will help get rid of the extra pounds you have accumulated in the last year, keeping you fit and healthy

· Drink 8 glasses of water. This might just sound like a very old cliché but drinking enough water a day provides you with all the liquid that you need, keeping your body hydrated all throughout the day

· Eat healthy. Say goodbye to those canned and processed food, instead, eat fresh greens and fruits to give you the right amount of nutrients and minerals that your body needs

· Take a break, even if it is nearly impossible at most times, find the time to do a little something to help you rest and relax.
