Wondering what can help?  Giving them D-rich fare such as salmon and fortified milk is not the only way to boost a child’s levels.  Our skin naturally produces vitamin D following sun exposure so let your kids bask in the sun for 10 minutes without sunscreen twice weekly.  I also heard that serving meals with a pat of butter also helps.  Scientists found that butter’s saturated fat helps D bind to storage proteins in the body.

I don’t want this to go on forever, I know I’m not the only one who does all the work and I’m all praises bowing to all the moms who manage to have two jobs. Hubs says I’m just drained and tired because we still couldn’t find a maid.  Then he told me about BSN Atro Phex. He found it while surfing the net and thinks I should it.  It’s an energy enhancer supplement.  I’m not the type of person who just follows what I’m told (even if it came from my husband!) so I googled it.  Found out that BSN Atro Phex is an energy enhancer, thermogenic, and weight management supplement all rolled into one powerful package.  According to the website, it also helps improve mental functions such as long term memory and wakefulness.

Well, if all these are true then there’s no harm in trying.  And if it works well for me then who needs a maid?

Next time your kids has a painful case of the hiccups, have her gargle with 1 tablespoon cola and then swallow.  The carbon dioxide particles responsible for soda’s fizz tickle the throat.  This then creates a distraction that allows the irritated diaphragm (the organ that causes air to rush to the throat) time to relax and stop producing the spasms.

She didn’t know how she was going to make it through the rest of the day, she says.  And since she can’t go to work and can’t do anything else, she turned on her computer and started searching on how to treat her sprain.  Luckily, she found an online health service that allows patients to reach licensed physicians regarding nonemergency health concerns.  After filling out the brief questionnaire about her current complaint, she got her prescription and was told that she can also buy soma online.  She didn’t have to wait long for her medication to arrive.  Reaching a real doctor fast saved her day.

She said her ankle is still sore but told us she’s going back to work on Monday.  Her call got us all worried, especially mom, but after reassuring us that she’s alright, mom calmed down.  I also felt relieved knowing that even if she’s all alone, it’s easy to get help.

If you need a shot of confidence for a big presentation, wear red.  The hue boosts levels of testosterone, the hormone responsible for surges in strength and power.

Then slip into something yellow when you are facing a day full of tasks that you are not very enthused about.  Even a short walk outside on a sunny day lifts your spirits.  Yellow, according to experts, has been found to improve outlook, as well as cognitive function.  How?  The sunny color activates brain chemistry to sharpen reasoning and logic while improving mood.

And when you’re feeling overwhelmed by your hectic schedule, toss on something green.  This cool shade has been proven to lower blood pressure and heart rate.

Of course a cup of joe makes your morning but you don’t have to drown yourself with caffeine all throughout the day to get that extra kick.  Remember that too much isn’t good.  With these three lively colors, you can gain the energy you need — powerful, happy, serene.
