The Great Start To Healthy Lifestyle

Healthy lifestyle is not limited to taking the the right food, exercise and absence of addiction or vices. Cleanliness on surroundings and personal hygiene plays a big role too. Why not start to make it a habit to wash your hands every now and then?

Proper hand washing could not just keep you away from colds and flu but from other illnesses as well. Transmission of food-related infectious agents such as  E. coli and Salmonella could be due to poor hand hygiene too. Teach your kids by being a model as early as possible the importance of proper hand washing. They easily learn and habit of the things parent’s teach if people around them do so.

The Importance of Choosing Food to Eat

When there are lots of foods in a table for you to eat. You have choice between what tastes good and what is good for you, which will you choose?

In the past few posts, I really emphasize the importance of making a choice in what kind of food to it. As we all know, processed, oily and sweet foods are so tasty compared to the healthy ones. Will you choose boiled sweet potato over a slice of cake or carrot sticks (raw carrots shaped like french fries) over french fries?

If you love your health and your family health, why not start preparing simple yet healthy meals for your family than tasty ones? It’s just a matter of training your taste buds to like healthy foods.

Tips to Those Who Are Suffering From Mouth Sore

I have simple tips to those who are suffering from mouth sore. It is not easy to suffer a mouth sore. I met a patient months ago who lose weight because of mouth sore. She takes in limited amount of food only, and most of it are liquid just for her to have something for her stomach not to be sore as well. If a centimeter wide of mouth sore made me miserable for few days, how much more for her who got not just one but four mouth sores. I meet the said lady at the laboratory for a blood examination. Unfortunately, I have not seen her after that for me to ask  about her doctor’s suggestions and the medications her doctor prescribe for her problem.

Here are my simple tips to those who are suffering from mouth sore for them not to starve themselves:

Eating food at moderate temperature is not irritating compared to taking them at extreme temperature (hot or cold). So, eat food at room temperature.

Acidic foods like pineapple and grapefruit may cause a burning sensation to your mouth. So, better choose mild food and drinks than the acidic one.

Hardened foods like cookies does not just take time for you to chew but may come in contact to your mouth sore as well that may lead to much more pain. So, better avoid hardened foods or dunk them in soup or milk to be softer.

Choose easy to swallow foods while you are suffering from mouth sores. Never starve yourself because of mouth sore.

And, if will not heal after few days of treating using home remedies better consult it to your family doctor.

It helps the kids to be imaginative while developing their motor skills that they need throughout their lives.

I introduced my six year-old niece to these  food games just few hours ago, and take note, she really appreciate it. She loved the “easy bake” cooking game. It triggered her imagination how she would decorate the cake, she imagined that it is her own birthday cake she decorated. It teaches kids to sort things out and not just accept everything that anyone tells them. She told me that she would tell her mommy that she want to bake a real cake and decorate it. She also love the “Pancake Day” cooking game, she is now eager to cook pancake with her mom’s supervision.

Food games like “Hot Dog Bush” and “Burger Restaurant” teaches children how to  meet the immediate  or ‘on a hurry’ demands of life, it also teaches patience. Is it not great to know that your child will learn a real life lessons from food games they play?

I really appreciate that these educational free cooking games online were included on girl games. It would be best if parents, especially the moms, out there to try all the games that their children are playing for them to know what are the best games for their kids, and stimulate their children to play educational games.
