ORGANIC HEALTH & HOME, QUICKIES

Sanitize Undergarments After an Infection. Quickie:

Quickie: Sanitize Undergarments After an Infection.

Yeast infections and Bacterial infections can effect a lot of women during hormonal changes, adding in new medications, allergic reactions, etc. These infections can affect men as well. Passing them back and forth can be a nightmare. Disposing of underwear can help but can also be expensive.

Here’s a tip to sanitize your underwear to kill the yeast and bacteria and eliminating reinfection from that source.

Wash underwear together, separate from other clothing. Add in vinegar or grapefruit extract to the washer to kill off the majority. Then before you put the undergarments into the dryer, (Important: Make sure there is no metal or sparkles on the underwear) place damp underwear on a paper towel, and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. (caution: underwear will be very hot when removing from microwave.)

This will kill the remainder of the bacteria and yeast. Immediately, place in dryer to dry the underwear.

The microwave is fine because, all the bad stuff died in the intense heat, but some people feel the need to clean the microwave after this purpose. Sanitize microwave by using a bowl of water in the microwave for 3 minutes on high to allow steam to kill anything left over. Wipe down with a clean cloth or paper towel. Repeat this process until infection completely clears up.

ORGANIC HEALTH & HOME, STUPID TIP OF THE DAY; WHAT NOT TO DO

Push Through the Pain. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: Push Through the Pain.

This tip is true and false. Pushing through the pain of working out can help you build strength and gain muscle. But, pushing through that pain, where something feels over stretched can cause a long-term problem. Men tend to do this more than women, but anyone who does a physical activity should know this.

If you are playing a sport or doing a new workout, and you feel a tightness starting to kick in it’s best to pause and see if the pain subsides. Not all of us have a coach or trainer helping us on a daily basis. But, speaking with one before starting out could also be a great benefit in helping you in understanding your body.

A great example, stretching you legs; to gain more flexibility you stretch the leg until you feel the burn. Then you pause, and the burn subsides. The next stretch you do with that leg, you will have gained a bit more flexibility. Now, if you were to bounce the leg to make it stretch further too quickly, you could cause harm to the muscle, ligaments and tendons.

Getting a cramp when working out or running is a sign of dehydration, pausing to drink water or electrolytes can restore your body’s water supply.

Pushing yourself the little extra distance can boost strength and endurance. But, pushing yourself too far, too fast can effect you for a lifetime. Be smart and know your body when doing any physical activities.

Responses from Tips, TIPS IN ACTION

Golf Outing Results, Pink Wins!

By Tia Cristy

Golf Outing Results, Pink Wins!

I am so sore and tired, just like many of those that took part in the Breastcancer.org Golf Outing. But, congratulations to all that did take part in it to help, that no person has to live their life that way everyday, because of breast cancer.

I was there with my assistant Mady and hundreds of golfers, staff and volunteers. It was a fantastic day with great weather for us. I was honored to be part of the day. I proved that my golfing skills are not up to par, but whether the golfers did well or the course was unkind, we shown our human compassion skills were above excellence. The kindness of people and the workers made for a great day for us and for the cause. So the big winner of the day was pink and Breastcancer.org!

(Above: Tia and Assistant Mady in the golf cart) “Thank you for having me be part of this!” Tia

Remember, learn how to give yourself, self exams, be sure to get your mammograms and when in doubt consult with your doctor. Early detection is important and breast care knowledge can save lives.

So, I’ll be using my Tip in Action all day today to help soothe my sore muscles in my legs. Epsom Salt soak to loosen the muscles and wrap with heating pad to calm the ache. It was well worth it!
