“Clean Hands Save lives”

Ahh, another new year, a time that makes us think of our old and new healthy habits…

Washing your hands can save you from infections and from weeks of misery. I wash my hands when out in public. It seems to work well. If you don’t already have a hygiene regime, consider washing your hands after arriving home, after riding the subway, and even before eating at a restaurant.

But don’t take it too far, your hands can dry out with too much washing.

The Atlanta based, Center for Disease Control takes it seriously enough, to list explicit tips on keeping your hands washed during the flu season. It’s kind of ridiculously detailed, but worth mentioning since its the most effective way to avoid rhinovirus infections.

Holiday Cheer

Hope you and yours, are ending the year on an upbeat note with many many victories.
Please be careful out there during the holidays people. Balance and cheer to all.

Gender Bender

More women are drinking, and the women who drink are drinking more, in some cases matching their male peers. This is the kind of equality nobody was fighting for.

Stay safe my friends.

December – flu season

The 2008-2009 Flu season is upon us.

Google has created a disease / search term tool that correlates popular flu search terms with regional data to provide a short term predictive look at near future flu outbreaks. Check to see if you will be hit next by the flu. Sniff sniff. Oh it’s coming, just look at the graph.

It has a nice spike in the graph for last February.

Thanksgiving 2008, next week

I’m really looking forward to this weekend and next week. And I hope you are as well.

Let’s all try to keep freshening our commitments to ourselves this winter.

Peace,

Thanksgiving 2008

Next week is Thanksgiving. Whoa
It’s been a great year, I’m pretty appreciative for it, even though I don’t get to go to Mexico with my dad this week.

At any rate, I hope that you and yours, also have a lot to be thankful for during this year.

I started this blog topic because I’ve had long-time interest in human health. And it has so much potential. I have a lot of ideas, from my readings and observations that I can share when I’m not dedicated to my client projects.

Think well, eat well, act well, Be well,
