Beware that measles is one of the most contagious illnesses. The illness does not select, it can attack anyone, ranging from adult men and women to children. However, statistics show that the disease is mainly common among children. Studies have shown that children below twelve months are the most vulnerable ones. Measles can be classified as one of the most undesired and discomforting as well as life threatening illness. The disease is characterized by red rashes that are known to cover a bigger percentage of the body.

As a parent you must be knowing that nutrition is a very instrumental factor as far as measles treatment is concerned. However, one needs to accompany a good diet with proper muscle relaxation accompanied by adequate sleep.

The above recovery facts are to be accompanied by the various measles home remedies.

As Parents, it’s a fact that we do everything in our power to protect our kids and make sure they are healthy.  However, we may not always be aware of how to protect them from some of the most dangerous diseases.  Recently I was invited to participate in a blog tour to bring awareness to serious disease called Meningococcal disease; most of us know it as meningitis.   I knew personally that I had to participate in this tour since it hits close to home.   One of my close friends lost her newborn due to meningitis.  At the time we didn’t really understand what meningitis was or how dangerous it could be.  Today, I am happy to say that we are hearing more about it and helping educate parents on how serious this can be.

Meningococcal disease is a sudden and very aggressive illness that can kill a previously healthy child within 24-48 hours of the first symptoms, which typically start out as non-specific and mimic symptoms of the flu. Infants younger than one year old are at a disproportionately higher risk for contracting meningococcal meningitis due to their less sophisticated immune systems.  Approximately 1 in 16 infants who contract meningococcal disease will die from it! While vaccines exist to protect against this deadly disease, they are not currently universally recommended for infants.  According to a 2010 ACIP presentation, infant vaccination for meningococcal disease would prevent approximately 195 cases and 13 infant deaths caused by this disease each year, making this vaccination an important step towards eliminating the disease entirely in the U.S. (much like we were able to achieve with a vaccine for polio and small pox)

Meningitis Angels, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about meningitis and other vaccine-preventable diseases, is working to fight against meningococcal disease. One step in this fight is “Protect Infants Now” (PIN), a campaign aimed at encouraging the government to recommend the current meningococcal meningitis vaccines be given to infants. Through the online PIN petition, Meningitis Angels wants to encourage the CDC to include meningitis vaccines in the recommended vaccination schedule for infants.

 

I urge you all to please sign this online petition to protect our babies and help make sure another mom don’t have to go thru what my friend had to.  In the United States, there are roughly 300 to 400 cases of neonatal meningitis for every 100,000 live births!

 

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central and Meningitis Angels. This campaign was made possible in part through support provided by Novartis Vaccines. A small donation to a charity of my choice was made in my name from Mom Central as a thank-you for participating. All opinions in this posting are 100% my own

The New Year is quicklyapproaching, bringing along with it many promises for resolutions by people who have great intentions. However, many of us fall short on fulfilling them.

I have given this a lot of thought, because I also have good intentions, yet have not followed through on many resolutions in the past. I came to the conclusion that it might be due to not planning for it ahead of time.

Perhaps the most popular resolution among the masses is to lose weight, or to take better care of ourselves. That is a fairly tough challenge on any given day. However, on New Year’s Day, when the house is still filled with goodies and treats, and we are tired from so much recent activity, it’s even harder to start.

I now realize that…just like with anything else, if I plan ahead, it just might work. I am going to share with you some ideas on how to plan ahead, to better your chances of keeping your resolution for a healthy new year.

Detox the Past Year

If you are making a resolution to get in better shape, lose weight, or gain overall better health, then you most likely have not been taking care of yourself in the past year, at least not like you should. You are not alone.

We live in a busy world, where fast food is easiest, and lack of time to exercise is normal. So, you might want to consider getting rid of last year’s ‘sins’ with detoxification. This will help your system get rid of toxins that are left behind by not eating properly, and living a relatively sedate lifestyle.

There are a few options on how to do this properly. Some people opt for a colon hydrotherapy process carried out by professionals at a Pathways to Health clinic, while others choose a detox diet. Yet another option is a natural product, such as a Zeolite supplement

Whichever method you choose, it’s best to plan ahead for it, so you start the New Year off right. If you have an appointment set up, or the products in the house ahead of time, there is no excuse to put it off.

Get Moving

Exercise is another factor in obtaining a healthier lifestyle. It’s also an area that is put off by many people, due to lack of planning. I know that if I don’t have it scheduled in my day, then I most likely will find other things to do.

Buy some new equipment ahead of time, or a membership at the local gym. The key is to make sure it’s something new. If you rely on something that has been sitting around collecting dust, then it will most likely remain a dust catcher.

I know if I buy something new, like a yoga DVD, I’m excited to give it a try. I don’t like to waste money, so if I spend it ahead of time, then it will get used.

Plan Menus Ahead of Time

One thing that I already do is plan my weekly menu ahead of time. This helps to save money, by buying items on sale, or use up my coupons. It also keeps my week organized, by having everything I need in the house.

This can also help you to eat healthier. By having the menu planned out, and groceries already in the house, you have a better chance at sticking to your healthy menu. If you are like me, you will not want to waste the perishables by changing to a less healthy drive-thru, or ordering pizza.

Replace the Bad with the Good

Throwing out the leftover, not-so-healthy goodies will be much easier, if you have something to replace them with. Stock up on healthy snacks in the house before you do this, because ‘snacking’ is a hard habit to break.

Going ‘cold turkey’ on breaking the habit will probably end in disaster, if you don’t have a replacement on hand. Here are some healthy snacks to consider having in the house:

·         Almonds
·         Pretzels
·         Flavored rice cakes
·         Sugar free pudding or jello
·         Butter and salt free popcorn
·         Raw veggies with fat free dip
·         Fruit
·         Light yogurt

This is just a sample of things that are a nice alternative to snacks many of us typically have around the house. However, even with these snacks, moderation is important.

If you have kids in the house, then this is a great time to encourage good snacking habits with them as well. I like to have us snack on pretzels, or rice cakes. Not only do we like them, but they are a dry food, which encourages us to drink more water.

The End Result

By planning ahead, you have a great chance of following through with your promise that you have made to yourself. The disappoint that lingers when promises are broken will no longer exist, because you have taken the steps to do it right this year.

Just think of the positive results of having more energy, feeling better, and looking better. Even your skin will thank you, as it will improve as you get healthier. I also take this time to invest in some anti-aging products, to help it along, as well as a reward for myself.

With the Holidays it’s no secret that kids eat more candy and sweets.  As parents we often let them have more treats than we should during the holidays. Let’s be honest as parents we eat more of it also! It’s just something about the holidays!  But let’s face it eating sweets may seem like harmless fun but pediatric oral disease is in fact the #1 chronic childhood illness.  I have always been very active about my children’s dental care.  They might even say that I’m overbearing.  We all hear about the importance of regular brushing and flossing for your oral care routine, but brushing alone misses the germs in 75% of your mouth! Adding a therapeutic mouthwash to your daily routine of brushing and flossing is an essential step in keeping your mouth healthy and protected.

The makers of LISTERINE® and REACH® have created an “Oral Care Challenge” for parents and kids (ages 6 and older) to take on this year.  I took this challenge last year and not only was it fun it kept everyone from being in trouble with our dentist!  I decided to make sure my family did this challenge again this year since it was perfect timing and our checkups is scheduled the 3^rd week in January!  To complete the challenge, kids, alongside their parents, have to brush, floss and rinse every day, twice a day for two weeks-a key step in building a strong oral care foundation.  My Kids always brush twice daily but have really been lacking on flossing!  I hope that this gets them back in the habit.

So make sure you check back to hear how our challenge goes and see if my teens actually remember to do the extra steps besides brushing! Since I already know Jada will do it with no questions ask haha.
