Feds To Parents: No Lunches From Home Without Doctor’s Note, School Lunch Only

Post author By hfhadmin
Post date October 3, 2014

If the government decides, the happy moments of your child’s every day life may soon come to an end, and all that food-sharing thing could probably remain just as a memory of the old days. Your kid could possibly not experience the joy of trading half of its peanut butter and jelly sandwich for half of its best friend’s ham sandwich.

A mother from Richmond, Virginia, received the following note, in which she was asked not to pack the lunch for her pre-school age child.

Dear Parents,

I have received word from Federal Programs Preschool pertaining to lunches from home. Parents are to be informed that students can only bring lunches from home if there is a medical condition requiring a specific diet, along with a physicians note to that regard.

I am sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Stephanie [redacted] the Health Coordinator for Federal Programs Preschool at [redacted].

Thanks,

Ms. [redacted]

Are you serious?

As responsible parents, we decided to avoid a host of ingredients and cut off any dangerous foods that are usually packed in the school lunches given to our children. We do not consume:

GMOs
Pesticides
Artificial colors and flavors
Preservatives
Hormone laden meat and dairy

Taking this into consideration, please, may this not come as a surprise you, but this week at my daughter’s school, the lunch offerings are:

Corn dog or chicken nuggets, tater tots
Beef tostada boat or PB and J on white bread
Pepperoni pizza or fish sticks with roll
Pretzel sticks with cheese sauce or chicken teriyaki
Cheeseburger or breaded chicken patty with seasoned fries

None of the foods offered on the list is part of our every day diet. And yes, add some rBGH-filled milk and a corn-syrup laden “fruit cup” to the list of ‘healthy school diet!’ The result? A complete nutritional disaster and life-threatening diet regimen.

Why should the parents experience such a pressure and be required to bear all the expenses of getting the necessary doctor’s note in order to be allowed to make healthy, homemade lunches for their children?

Yes, the question actually has a point.

The answer? Profit and control – simple as that!

The major reason for this is the federal government’s goal to have all the little children on board, which would subsidize the farmers, make the rich even richer, and get the poor stuck with some serious health problems.

Post date October 3, 2014

By now you should be quite aware of the fact that water is the main compound that will help you get a perfect body and great health condition. The worst mistake some people make when it comes to drinking water is their very own theory that water can be replaced with any other drink.

Some just do not drink water at all, or do not drink as much as the body needs for its vital functions. The amount of water your body needs depends on your weight.

The table above should help you determine the right amount. It will help you get into the routine and drink the proper amount of water every day.

2 Simple Breathing Exercise For Good Deep Lung Cleansing

Post author By hfhadmin
Post date September 30, 2014

Cleansing your lungs lets you detox them of infection, lower the risk of cancer, expand lung capacity and improve the health of the respiratory tract.

This is primarily suggested to smokers and people living in places with polluted air.

Breathing Exercises:

They are one of the best methods of lung cleansing. This doesn’t mean just taking a deep breath, it takes a lot more. There are numerous exercises for lung cleansing, so this is one of them.

This exercise will really help you cleanse your lungs, and it will be a nice start of the day if you do it in the morning, when there’s fresh air.

Stand up and relax, keeping your arms at each side and your feet a little apart.
Take several deep breaths, exhaling over the nose.
Breathe in through the nose and calmly exhale through the mouth until you can’t exhale anymore. There’s more air in your lungs, so don’t stop here.

While we breathe, we don’t replace all of the air and it stays in the lungs.

Next, make your diaphragm let out all the air from your lungs by heavily gasping. Exhale through your mouth a few times, doing ha ha ha, until you think there isn’t any air left in your lungs. This will make you feel as if you have pulled in your stomach to your spine.

Inhale fresh air through your nose into your empty lungs.
Fully consume your lungs with air, and hold your breath for 5 seconds, counting slowly. By now, every cell in your body has been filled with oxygen.
Exhale trough your mouth once again until there’s no more air left and do the ha ha ha to remove the last air out of your lungs.

Return to step 4 and do this as much as you want. Another perk of this exercise, except cleansing your lungs, is that it makes your stomach strong.

Post date September 28, 2014

This formula is encouraged by the beauty bible “Organic Body Care Recipes” of Stephanie Tourles. It’s for a one-use application, so create the appropriate amount for your toothbrush.

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoons – nicely ground tea salt
1 drop peppermint or citrus pure essential oil
A few drops water

Preparation:

Mix all the ingredients in a dish until you create a solid paste. Put it on your toothbrush and brush your teeth.

2. Vegan Toothpaste

In order to keep the product’s texture, a lot of toothpastes consist of glycerin, but that always comes from animal origin except if it’s listed as vegetable glycerin.

Try the following thing and you’ll get a vegan toothpaste that contains glycerin:

2 teaspoons vegetable glycerin
4 tablespoons baking soda
½ teaspoons guar gum
8 tablespoons water
5 drops peppermint, clove or citrus pure essential oil

Preparation:

Put all of the ingredients in a pot, besides essential oil. Cook on little heat for 5 minutes or at least by the time it gets a paste-like texture, and stir at regular intervals. After it gets cold, put essential oil and store it in an antiseptic jug at room temperature.

Top 8 Natural Painkillers You Already Have in Your Kitchen

Post author By hfhadmin
Post date September 28, 2014

When you feel pain in a certain part of the body do not immediately resort to analgesics or similar tablets. Learn what foods from your kitchen will do the same thing in a completely natural and nutritious way.

Turmeric

Turmeric helps in fighting various kinds of inflammation, chronic pain, back and muscle pain, toothache and arthritis. Also, this spice helps in successful recover of tissues and it is excellent for detoxification and improving overall health. You can add turmeric to various dishes as well as teas and juices. Turmeric is best combined with black pepper because it is most efficient used in this way.

Ginger

This exceptionally balmy root will help in easing chronic pain in joints and arthritis. You can add ginger to different kinds of tea as well as in various dishes, soups, juices and desserts. Some people are very sensitive to its taste, so insert it gradually into your diet.

Chili Peppers

The most beneficial effects of chili are credited to their main ingredient – capsaicin. Capsaicin weakens the signal that carries information that something hurts us. This information is sent from the body to the brain. Chili peppers successfully treat joint pain, fibromyalgia, migraines and skin rashes.

Garlic

Toothache, ear infections and pain caused by arthritis can successfully be healed by garlic. Make homemade garlic oil in the following way: add three cloves of chopped garlic in tiny pieces into a half cup of olive oil and leave to simmer on low heat for two minutes. Strain the mixture and leave it to stand still in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Thus prepared , boil and gently rub it on the painful joints or muscles. If you have ear infections, drop two drops of this warm oil into your aching ear. In case you have a toothache, make a mixture of crushed garlic and salt. Take a pinch of this mixture and apply it to the aching tooth.

Cloves

Toothache and pain in the gums can be immediately treated with cloves. The best way to use cloves for toothache is to chew it because in that way a powerful ingredient with analgesic effect, called eugenol is released. If you are not able to handle the strong and unique clove flavor, make a strong cloves tea.

Cherries

This is perhaps the tastiest selection of analgesic, which helps with arthritis, bone pain and chronic headache. The whole credit for cherries’ anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects should be taken by the antioxidant called anthocyanins.

Cherries abound with anthocyanins. This powerful antioxidant eliminates enzymes that cause tissue inflammation and pain.

Apple Cider Vinegar

If you suffer from stomach acids, mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink it before a meal or drink it gradually after a meal to avoid acid formation in the stomach. Apple cider vinegar helps our body to better combust fat and protein, which actually causes the burning discomfort in the abdomen area.

Blueberries

Blueberries are best natural medicine for treatment and prevention of infections of the urinary tract. They are very rich in tannin, a natural organic compound that effectively kills the bacteria that causes inflammation of the urethra.

Here is Why You Should Not Throw Away Pickle Juice

Post author By hfhadmin
Post date September 27, 2014

Once you eat the jar of pickles, you probably think that their water should be poured away. Wrong!

The juice from pickles not only serves to maintain the acidity and freshness, but also for several other useful purposes as well.

After Exercise Drink

Acidic liquid that pickles are stored in are high in electrolytes so you can drink it without additional accessories after hard training.

This will restore part of the important matters that you have lost from sweating. Also, this liquid is an excellent source of potassium, which prevents inflammation of the muscles. You should only separate the garlic and spices that are normally put in the jar.

Substitutes For Vinegar

Juice of pickles can be used as a “sweeter” substitute for vinegar that can spice up various green salads, potato salads and hard-boiled eggs. The liquid can be added in yogurt and make salad dressing or use for marinating the meat. Also, the juice from pickles can soften onions and reduce onion’s sharp taste.

An Unusual Cocktail

Acid juice can be used in making unusual cocktail. You can add it in a martini as substitute for olive juice and olives that are usually added into the martini. Or, you can add it in a glass of whiskey, which is one of the most popular trends at the moment.

Finally, remember that the juice of pickles is a great cure for hangover!
