Problem:
Hey Tia, the stomach bug has been going around work, I’ve been lucky enough not to get it so far, but everyone has gotten it. But what is that diet that you should eat, if you get it? Is there anything I can do really to prevent getting it? K.

Tip from Tia:
The stomach bug is not fun. I’ll answer the second question first, you can try to prevent the stomach bug the same way you prevent other germs. Be sure to wash your hands often. Make sure you cover your mouth when you yawn, as well as cough or sneeze. Don’t rub your eyes or touch your mouth without clean hands. Wipe down surfaces with clean wipes. And, be sure to get your vitamin C to boost your immune system.

Now, that diet you asked about it called the B.R.A.T Diet. It’s good to eat if you have a stomach bug or flu.

It stands for Broth, Rice, Apples and Toast.

These foods are easy going down and gentle on the stomach which makes it easy and gentle if it has to come out or back up. These foods are also absorbing and binding. This “diet” is believed it will absorb and bind the bad bacteria to detach from the stomach lining and be able to exit the body quicker resulting in a quicker recovery. Be sure to drink lots of fluids and watch for signs of dehydration, if you believe you are having symptoms of dehydration, contact your doctor immediately.

Stopping the Start of a Yeast Infection. (MA)

Stopping the Start of a Yeast Infection. (MA)

Problem: Hi Tia! I’m starting to get that feeling like a yeast infection is coming on. Is there something natural to stop it?

Tip from Tia: Yeast infections can happen to anyone, female or male. And, they can happen anywhere in or outside the body. (If you have a full infection, be sure to contact your doctor to determine if it’s yeast or bacteria and discuss treatments)

The best thing I can tell you first and most important, is watch your sugar intake. Yeast feeds on sugar and multiplies very quickly. Be sure to drink plenty of water, eat lots of dark green veggies, like broccoli and make sure you dry the areas completely before putting on clothes.

Remember, yeast and bacterial infections can be passed back and fourth, repeatedly through intercourse. It’s best to wait for the symptoms to clear before engaging in sex.

Now, for balancing out your body naturally, choose one of the following options. Doing too many things at the same time, can sway your chemistry the other way.

For yeast, olive leaf extract is great. It is an herbal, and you can take orally, 1-2 a day for about 5 days, and it will push out any kind of infection brewing.

If you are unsure of yeast or bacteria, it’s safest to take what balances both. Apple cider vinegar is a good way to balance naturally. Take a teaspoon orally, daily. Using it everyday can keep you balanced and has many other healthy benefits.

And, another remedy if you are unsure and it is affecting your lower areas is, make a very shallow bath, climb in, while sitting add peroxide in front of you. Sit in tub for 5-10 minutes. (Douches and washes can cause more unbalance, so I don’t recommend them at all.)

I believe natural balance starts from the inside with diet. Some environments can cause infections. If you’ve had reoccurring infections be sure to talk to your doctor.

Balance can be hard to control. With infections, you should always contact your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Small Grease Splatter on Clothes. Quickies:

Quickies: Small Grease Splatter on Clothes.

My dear friends from the KupMuff Show and I talk tips. Producer, Chris shared this tip. (I love hearing new tips and trying them.)  Chris was absolutely right on, with the tip he gave.

Small grease splatters while cooking, happens frequently, so if splatters should happen to get on clothes, apply baby powder to it, or what I recommend is, cornstarch.

Either powders, will absorb and remove the grease stain. The sooner you apply the powder, the better and leave it on the spot for 24 hours to absorb deeply.

You don’t have to put a lot of powder on the spot but it should be more than a dusting, I recommend a small mound on top, so it can absorb as much oil as it can.

Thank you Chris! And The KupMuff Show, Nick and Joanne, for having TipsfromTia.com on your show and showing support for what I do.

Fight Oil with Oil.

Fight Oil with Oil.

Problem: Hello Tia! I have to ask, season change is the reason, I know, but my face is getting extremely oily by the end of the day. In the morning it has dry patches, so I use a moisturizer. Is that causing my face to be so oily by the end of the day?

Tip from Tia: You are having the same problem as many people are at this time. Yes, season change has a lot to do with it. And yes, your moisturizer could be causing you to accelerate your oils. But, not because the moisturizer is oily, but because it’s not penetrating deep enough to balance the dryness, so your pores are creating it’s own oils to help out. If moisturizers have an alcohol content, they can actually dry out the lower layers of skin which will cause your pores to make oils in overdrive. Hence, an oily face by sunset.

Here’s a good way to restore the balance in your skin. Fight oil with oil. After a shower is usually where the dry patches really start to appear. The face feels tight and you may even notice some ash. Don’t grab the moisturizer yet. Instead, grab olive oil or almond oil, put on a cotton ball and apply to your face. It will be really shiny. go about your other routine stuff and let the oil sit for a bit.

After several minutes, use your clean fingers and rub your face in circular motions. If your face still holds a lot of the oil. splash face with luke-warm or cool water and pat dry. This will take away any shine but, allow the good oil to continue to penetrate deep down. Apply your make up as usual.

At night, after you wash your face, then apply your moisturizer if needed.

Once your skin balances out, you can go back to just your moisturizer.
