The onset of Spring fills the air with anticipation of the new. Whether
 it is new resolves, new ideas to put into
place, or just the feeling of starting over, there is newness in the air.
What better time to renew your good health habits? What better time to look over the list of resolutions at the beginning of this year?
What better time to remember that each day is new, and holds promises, only limited by our minds?
It is my desire that you find newness in life, whether it be your relationships, your spiritual life, or your healthier lifestyle.
Nature does it, --- so can we!
With my warmest, regards,
Pam

Are People contagious only a day or two after catching a cold?
NO! As long as you are coughing and sneezing you can still spread germs.
Also, a person is contagious 1 - 2 days
before the symptoms appear.

The dirtiest thing in your kitchen ?
Likely to be your sponge !
Possibly a billion germs can grow in the moist environment of an
uncleaned sponge.
Just one example of how your sponge can harbor germs and bacteria:
If your sponge touches the juice of raw meat, then it is used to
wipe something else, bacteria such as Salmonella may be spread.
To clean, toss it in the dishwasher with each load,
or, moisten and microwave for 1 minute (no longer or it may burn).
Replace it after 1 - 2 weeks of use. |

LIPSTICK INFORMATION:
Something to consider next time you go shopping for lipstick......
Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead.
Lead is a chemical which can cause cancer.The lipstick brands that contain lead are:
Y.S..L ----ESTEE LAUDER --- SHISEIDO -- EARTH (Lip Gloss)--
CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)--
The higher the lead content, The greater the chance of causing cancer.
After doing a test on lipsticks, It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick contained the highest content of lead.
If your lipstick stays longer, it is
because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the
lipstick.
3. If the lipstick colour changes to black,
Then you know the lipstick contains lead.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre
Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Red has the most amount of lead.
Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer.

Dependence on televisions, cellphones and laptops may be costing Americans dearly - in lack of sleep. The national penchant for watching television every evening before going to sleep, playing video games late into the night or checking emails and text messages before turning off the lights could be interfering with the nation's sleep habits.
Nearly 95% of people questioned in a study said they used some type of electronics in the hour before going to bed, and about two-thirds admitted they do not get enough sleep during the week.
Biggest offendes were Baby Boomers.
Group with the biggest risks from lack of sleep --- 13 - 18 year olds.
(Compromises school grades, driving alertness, proper growth
for their bodies, and the list goes on.....)

'For behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
'The flowers have already appeared in the land;
The time has arrived for pruning the vines,
And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
'The fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!' "
Song of Solomon 2:11-13 (NASB) |
