Homemade Flax Crackers

I am always looking for ways to incorporate different foods in my kids diet. Flax seed has always been one that I forget - When I saw this recipe, I thought this would be a great opportunity to give my kids this essential omega-3 fatty acid. Flax seed is "good" fats that have many health benefits - lowering cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar, lowering risks of many cancers. Let me know if you kids enjoy this Flax seed snack.

Get Your Kids to Brush Their Teeth

What is it about kids and brushing their teeth? Maybe these toothpaste heads
by Spread Heads are a fun way to promote good dental hygiene. The visual
idea of an animated dog or cat spewing out a bright neon colored gel onto a
toothbrush might have varying degrees of appeal.

Cold Remedies

Bio terrorists have invaded my house - we are under siege and trying to be
victorious. Some tactics we have employed:
Water and other fluids. You can't flush a cold out of your system, but
drinking plenty of liquids can help. Water, juice, clear broth or warm lemon
water with honey helps loosen congestion and prevents dehydration. Avoid
alcohol, coffee and caffeinated sodas, which make dehydration worse.

Salt water. A saltwater gargle ‹ 1/2 teaspoon salt dissolved in an 8-ounce
glass of warm water ‹ can temporarily relieve a sore or scratchy throat.

Chicken soup. Generations of parents have spooned chicken soup into their
sick children. Now scientists have put chicken soup to the test, discovering
that it does have effects that might help relieve cold and flu symptoms in
two ways. First, it acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement
of neutrophils ‹ immune system cells that participate in the body's
inflammatory response. Second, it temporarily speeds up the movement of
mucus through the nose, helping relieve congestion and limiting the amount
of time viruses are in contact with the nose lining. So which is better,
homemade or canned? Researchers at the University of Nebraska compared
homemade chicken soup with canned versions and found that many, though not
all, canned chicken soups worked just as well as soups made from scratch.

Humidity. Cold viruses thrive in dry conditions ‹ another reason why colds
are more common in winter. Dry air also dries the mucous membranes, causing
a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. A humidifier can add moisture to your
home, but it can also add mold, fungi and bacteria if not cleaned properly.
Change the water in your humidifier daily, and clean the unit at least once
every three days.
