Our strength

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate but we are more beautiful, more powerful, unlimited than what we can possibly imagine

Toe Nail Fungi

If you have a case of toe nail fungi do not worry you are not alone, and it is not a case of poor hygiene. To get rid of it, it takes a 2 month process.

In a pan big enough to bathe both feet, mix 4 cups full of bleach and 4 cups of hot water and soak your feet for 10 minutes twice a day. At the end of the 2 months you may want to check with your physician just to make sure there is no more fungi. If you are a woman (or maybe a free-thinking man!) remove nail polish for the length of the treatment.

Why the heat index matters

Created by the National Weather Service, the heat index (HI) tells you how hot it really feels when humidity is added to air temperature. When the HI is between 105° F and 130° F, heatstroke is possible with continued exposure or physical activity, if the HI is 130° F or higher, the heatstroke is highly likely with continued exposure.

Reduce your risk of heat-related illness by exercising outdoors during cooler times of the day when possible. If you must exercise in hot and humid weather, start with short, 10-15 minute bouts of low to moderate-intensity physical activity and gradually increase your time and intensity over to 10 to 14 days. This gives your body time to adapt to exercising in a hot and humid environment. Get plenty of rest, food and fluids before you exercise, stay hydrated during and after your workout, and take frequent breaks.

Statins and Grapefruit juice

Do you take a statin drug?

If you do, say no to grapefruit. Grapefruit juice interferes with your body’s process for breaking down statins and certain other drugs. This can lead to a dangerous build up of the drug in your body. The effect of grapefruit juice on drugs tends to be long-lasting. So, avoiding grapefruit juice only at the time of taking your drug will not prevent an interaction. Grapefruit juice can affect the blood concentration of drugs for more than 24 hours after the grapefruit juice is consumed!

They say that you never know what you have until you lose it. This is not true, you know what you have; losing it is what makes you appreciate it.
