This weekend while perusing the latest issue of Shape Magazine I came across a few items I thought you’d all enjoy.
1. A cup of yogurt a day may keep a stuffy nose at bay.
According to a study in Clinical and Experimental Allergy, they found that people allergic to ragweed and grass pollen who consumed a beverage containing probiotics (good bacteria found in yogurt), they experienced lower antibodies which triggered reactions. FYI: Yogurt also helps keep yeast infections at bay when taking large quantities of prescription antibiotics.
2. Keep your Purse/Bag off the Floor!
Floors and coutnertops are contaminated with germs that cause colds, stomach issues, and eye problems. Instead put your bag on the bag of your chair, hold it on the bus, and put it on the hook in the restroom. Also, germs can stay in the purse fabric for days so once a week wipe it down with a disinfectiong cloth.
3. Battling Breast Cancer one Joke at a Time
Camilla Davidson, learned after her own diagnosis that she wanted to show encouragement and support using the lighter side of life. Davidson created Milla Correspondence, a line of greeting cards acknowledging the tough truths of cancer but with humor. i.e. “I know you won’t need a bra after your mastectoy..so here’s to fabulous panites.” The cards run $4.00 each and can be ordered at www.millacorrespondance.blogspot.com Proceeds from each order go to different cancer organizations.
