Are Neti Pots Safe? | Timothy Valentin

Are Neti Pots Safe? | Timothy Valentin

First off, what are Neti Pots? Well, Neti Pots are small kettles used to irrigate nasal passages.  You fill the Neti pot with distilled water, add some saline to it and pour the water in one nostril and have it come out the other.  The intent here is not to gross you out but to explain how they are used. The saline water flows through the sinuses and rinses away the pollen and other foreign particulates that cause sinus infections and allergies.  So that's the therory.

Ok a little more about how to use Neti Pots

Neti pots look like a small tea kettle and are used as nasal rinsing devices.  You fill them with distilled (luke warm) water, add saline or salt and  proceed pour the water through your nasal passages and sinuses.



As to how often you should do this? It depends a bit on how severe your allergies are, some people will use the Neti Pot or other nasal irrigation device daily while other find they only need to use it about three times a week.  You may have to experiment with one a little bit to see what will work for you.

Always use distilled, sterile or previously boiled water to prevent getting an infections from contaminated water. Mix in about 1 teaspoon of salt with 16 ounces ( a pint) of water.  Some people will add some baking soda to reduce the irritation affects of the salt but that is not required.



If  you experience some irritation with using the Neti Pot, you can reduce the amount of salt, lower the temperature of the water or use the pot less frequently.

Care of the Neti Pot

Make sure you thoroughly clean your Neti or other irrigation device after each use.  Some people have gotten brain infections from using a contaminated device--so be careful!

Most devices will come with instructions on how to use them. You can also ask your ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat doctor) for advice on how or if you should use a Neti.

In general Neti Pots are safe but you need to take care of them so they will take care of you.

 Where can you get a Neti Pot?

Neti pots are pretty easy to find. You can Google "Neti Pot" and find an online source or you can stop by your local drug or health food store.  They usually cost between $10 and $20.  Some will come with a saline mix that you can use instead of salt.

Keeping Allergies At Bay With These Simple Tricks | Timothy Valentin

Keeping Allergies At Bay With These Simple Tricks | Timothy Valentin

Keeping Allergies At Bay...Do you avoid activity, play, pets and everything else under the sun in an effort to keep your allergies under control? Stop living a life so restricted by allergies! Learn what you can do to alleviate the dreadful symptoms that prevent you from participating in life with the following article.

Keeping Allergies at Bay, some tips for you!

• Stay away from small flowers that do not have a lot of color. These flowers are the ones that tend to bother allergies. Larger, brighter flowers, such as the ones that bees and hummingbirds are attracted to, tend to be non-allergenic, so you should be okay around these kinds of flowers.

• It may be tempting to move elsewhere to try to avoid the allergens that are causing your allergies. When this thought crosses your mind, remember that the most common allergy causing plants (grass and ragweed) are found everywhere. So a move to a different climate may not help your situation.

• Ensure that you clean your bed sheets on a weekly basis. This is important, because any number of airborne allergies as well as items that you track in can harvest in your bed. You do not want to be exposed to these items, especially with the amount of time spent in bed.

Love PB and J? | Timothy Valentin

Love PB and J? | Timothy Valentin

Do you love PB and J? The problem with a PB and J sandwich is that it may not be all that nutritious.

First off, peanut butter has a lot of calories, one serving about 2 Tbsp. has about 188 calories and 16 grams of fat. Now add  your favorite jam or jelly to the mix and you have added a few spoonfuls of sugar your snack--it is getting less healthier by the ingredient.  Let's not stop there, what if pick the wrong type of bread to go with that sandwich.  A nice thick slide of white bread made with bleached and enriched flour!  OK, should we stop there?

The Challenge--how to make it healthier?

Ok now let's see how we can do better.

Change up the ingredients just a little bit:

1. Use an all natural peanut butter, one that doesn't have all that added sugars, preservatives.

2. Look for a jam (or Jelly) that is made with fruit juice instead of sugar, stay away from the ones that have high fructose corn syrup.

3. Get some decent bread. Look for a nice "Whole Grain" bread ( or even better sprouted grain).

Ok, you can go ahead and "love PB and J again!"

The Best Tips, Tricks, And Advice For Allergy Sufferers

http://home-healthandfitness.com/the-best-tips-tricks-and-advice-for-allergy-sufferers/

Suffering from allergies is not uncommon, and some people are affected by them more than others are. Do not allow allergy triggers to rule your life, instead, learn to manage your allergy symptoms so you can breathe easy. Read this guide for strategies on how to effectively deal with your allergies the right way. You might want to open up your windows whenever the weather is beautiful in order to save some money on your electricity bill. Opening your windows can lead to allergic reactions. Therefore, you should make sure your air conditioner has a HEPA filter. This filter will decrease indoor allergens. The HEPA filter is a great way to ensure that you can breathe easily in your own home.

TIP! If you can choose, do not put any carpeting or big rugs in your home. Rugs and carpeting are often never really clean, even if they look like they are.

During the periods of really nice weather, you may be inclined to crack open the windows at home in order to save some money on expensive air conditioning costs. This could cause allergens to enter your home. You should try to find a HEPA filter to put on your AC. This type of filter is great for capturing multitudes of those allergen particles. Although it may not seem quite as fresh, you will benefit from easier breathing.

Why You Should Give Organic Gardening A Try | Gardening Supplies

Why You Should Give Organic Gardening A Try | Gardening Supplies

You probably know quite a bit about organic foods, whether you have read about them, or noticed them at your local supermarket. It's usually easy to distinguish the organic items from the others. These have different packages and cost a bit more. Read this article to learn how to create your very own organic garden.

Your children will enjoy the experience of working with you in the organic garden. The benefits for your children will be a closer bond with nature and an understanding of where food comes from.

If little ones live in your home, consider including everbearing strawberries in the garden plot. Children will be more willing to help you if they can pluck their own fruit from the garden.

One way to help your organic garden thrive is to leave an undeveloped area that is conducive to the wildlife around your area. As the natural wildlife begins to flourish, the various insects, birds, and other natural life around will all blend together and actually assist your garden as it begins to grow.

If you are planning to grow plants within the house, the temperature should be maintained between 65 and 75 degrees within the daylight hours. They need the temperature to be that warm so that they can grow. If you think it would not be comfortable to keep your residence that warm in the winter, consider purchasing a heat lamp to use on the plants.

Pine can make a great mulch. A number of plants commonly grown in garden settings do best in an acidic soil. If you have these plants in your garden, keep them healthy by using pine needles as mulch. Using several inches of needles to cover your beds provides acid for the soil as they begin to decompose.

Coffee Grounds

Use coffee grounds on your soil. Coffee grounds are filled with nitrogen, that is a nutrient required by plants. Plants need an adequate nitrogen source in order to thrive. Adding coffee grounds, chemical fertilizer, or diluted urea to your soil increases the soil's nitrogen content and will help to make your plants grow faster, taller and healthier.
