Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Christmas Safety

This article come from Parents.com.  Most of the safety tips deal with lighting and making sure your lighting is safe.  For example you should check your lights, turn them off when you are not home or when you go to bed.  Attempt to use fresh trees and boughs, and water when you can.  Connect no more than one extension cord, and make sure cords are certified.  Use a timer on your lights and do not turn on until after 7 p.m. to avoid peak usage times.  Outdoors keep electrical connectors off the ground.  In using a ladder use them safely and make sure the ladder is working properly.  Keep fireplace fires behind glass.  Keep clutter picked up and keep flammables away from water heaters and other heat sources.
