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.

Book Review: Who Knew? 10,001 east Solutions to Everyday Problems

by Bruce Lubin and Jeanne Bossolina-Lubin, TELEBrands Press, reprinted from Castle Point Publishing, Fairfield, NJ, 2013

A good reference book for common household problems.  It starts with chapters dedicated to seven heroes: vinegar, baking soda, lemon, salt, vegetable or olive oil, aluminum foil and duct tape.  It is amazing how many different things can be done with these items.  For example vinegar will cool a sunburn.  Vinegar is also good for swimmer's ear.  Vinegar will kill the smell of burnt food, boil a cup with two cups water.  Baking soda can be used for fire prevention.  Lemon will help with cleaning burnt milk.  Duct tape can tape on a child's gloves if he keeps taking them off.  You can also use it on the handle of a tool to customize the fit to your hand.  Duct tape can repair a trash can lid.
This book also includes cleaning tips, tips for getting organized, pet tips,managing money, and giving items a second life.

Great to have around for thos special tips.  There are also similar things on Facebook and Pinterest.
