It is really advisable to children 2 years and up to have this, better safe than never right espeacially flu season is around the corner. So mothers out there if you haven't get any yet to your kiddos ask their pedia about it and they will enlighten you more about the FluMist protection.

Death Sentence before Birth
According to a danish heart specialist concerned with the deaths of people in their early 20's from heart disease investigated a possible cause. She found that infants born to smoking mothers already have in their blood vessels signs of the lesions and clogging associated with heart disease, while those born to nonsmoking mothers do not. In her studies at the University of Copenhagen, she also found the damage to be the worst among the babies of women who smoked the most. Research also indicates that even if a smoker stops smoking during her pregnancy, her child will still be born with some vessel damage that can develop as the youngster grows.
So see how doctors urged to women not to drink alcohol and smoke during their pregnancy or when they are pregnant because all the bad impact will goes to their unborn baby. I encourage to those who are pregnant or maybe pregnant and those who want a kids in the future... please take care of your self don't smoke or stop smoking if it's not too late yet just think of the little ones you will have.

Do you smoke?
I don't. My faith forbids me to do such kind of act. My family both sides mostly shares the same faith as well so I've never seen most of them tried smoking. But apparently cigarette smoking is famous the world over. In the year 2000, it has been reported that there are over 1.22 billion people practiced smoking. Accordingly, most of those who practiced it starts at the age 13-15 or even earlier. It is indeed hazardous for ones health and life. A major risk factor for heart attacks, lung cancer, strokes, pulmonary disease, and so forth. The the facts also shows that many premature death attributes to the use tobacco and other forms of cigarettes. But did you know that there's a certain method today that claims to be different among the others. Electronic cigarette, have the look and feel of classic cigarettes yet do not contain the harmful chemicals like tobacco, tar, carcinogens, carbon monoxide, etc. An alternative to tobacco smoking, e-cigarette is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of nicotine by delivering a vaporized propylene glycol/nicotine solution. Many says it's the safest method so far. Perhaps those who practice smoking will be very curious about this new product. What do you think?

Protecting Delicate Teeth
At what age did your teeth begin to develop? The process started while you were still in the womb-before your mother even knew that she was pregnant! Thus it is important to get adequate supply of nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, protein and vitamins.
What about newborns? Experts say that bottle-fed babies are particularly vulnerable to tooth decay. How do these happen? Some infants routinely fall asleep while sucking on a bottle containing milk, sugar water, or soda. Since these contains carbohydrates, bacteria thrives. Bacteria produce acids which form tooth decay. Some babies withe severe decay suffer premature tooth loss which affect the development of their permanent teeth
How can parents like us protect our babies delicate teeth? Breast-feeding is recommended since mother's milk is sterile and rich in antibodies.
If a bottle is used, experts say that its use should be discontinued after the baby reaches 18 months of age, and bottle be used only for feeding and not as a pacifier. If the baby is put to bed with bottle, it is better if it contained plain water. After each feeding, a clean soft cloth to clean the baby teeth.

Cause of the Common Cold
“Catch a chill and you’ll catch a cold,” goes the saying. However, “for more than a century, scientists have invested an extraordinary amount of time and energy in debunking this old saw,” reports The New York Times. “But despite their efforts, the link between colds and the weather still lingers and continues to inspire yet more research.” Beginning with Louis Pasteur, in 1878, thousands of experiments have been conducted to determine what part, if any, chilling the body has on catching a cold. Not surprisingly, researchers are still not certain of the answer. Dr. Jack Gwaltney, Jr., one of the world’s leading experts on the common cold, suggests that it is humidity rather than temperature that promotes colds. The bottom line is that “the common cold is a complex entity—not a single disease at all, but many similar ones, and that all of them cycle in response to the weather in ways that are still not understood,” says the Times.

Cleanliness - why so important??
I already post this to my Go confidently blog.. Im thinking i gonna posted here as well! this very important topic. There is a saying "health is wealth" So how we can get a healthy living? the answer is very simple... maintain a good and clean environment! keeping things clean is cheaper than buying medicine. However maintaining cleanliness is not that easy especially when you are under the condition of poor surroundings we know its difficult and a challenging. Still, always put in mine it is worth the effort.
Soap and water and a little extra work are cheaper than medicine and hospital bills, isn't it right?. If you live in such an environment that is difficult to maintain the proper sanitation as far as possible, keep your own house and yard clean and free of animal droppings. Because as we know animal dirt's is one of the big time causes of germs! Then if your path to your home tends to get muddy during rainy periods, you could put down gravel or stones to help keep mud out of the house. If shoes or sandals are used, these be removed before the wearer enters the home, or you can assign a certain place or area for shoes and sandals to put into. Also, you must keep your water supply free from contamination. It is estimated that at least 2 millions death per year are due to decease associated with dirty water and poor sanitation.
Another are should be consider is the bathroom and toilet, whether inside or outside the dwelling it should be disinfected. Because if toilet area is not kept clean and covered, flies will gather there and spread germs to other areas of home and of course onto the food we eat! It's really scary. More further, children and adult should wash hands after visiting this area, always don't forget! otherwise we bring germs back with us on our skin. I remember once in a public toilet, hubby mentioned a guy didn't do anything he just go straight outside without washing my goodness that is gross! According to french Doctor, hand washing " is still the best guarantees for the preventions of certain digestive, respiratory or skin infections." So, we should take note of that!
A clean home depends on every one of us- mother, father,children and visitors. We should learned how to do our part, because a clean tidy home will reflects well on the whole family there is no exemption. A Spanish proverbs states, " there is no conflict between poverty and cleanliness." So whether one lives in a mansion, an apartment, a humble home, or a shack, cleanliness is a key to a healthier individuals.
