A Healthy Toothbrush For Bellingham Kids

A Healthy Toothbrush For Bellingham Kids

As a parent of active Bellingham children, I’m sure you’re always on the lookout for places where germs lurk, and you probably know that toothbrushes have the potential to grow a lot of bacteria. However, there are some simple rules you can follow in your Ferndale area home to keep your child’s toothbrush (and your kid’s mouth) as healthy as possible.

One of the best ways to limit bacterial growth on a toothbrush is to allow it to dry completely between uses. This is best done by storing the toothbrush in a toothbrush holder on the counter, not tucked away in a drawer where air flow is limited.

A toothbrush holder is superior to a cup because it’s important that neighboring toothbrushes don’t touch and share germs.

Air drying toothbrushes is easy when you purchase two for each child at your nearest Lynden drugstore. Teach your kids to alternate between the two so they each have more time to dry out all the way.

Toothbrushes should be replaced every three to four months, mainly because normal wear and tear will make them less effective at cleaning teeth. But, regardless of the age of the toothbrush, replace it after your child has a cold or other illness.

If you have any other questions about your child’s oral health, ask your Bellingham dentist, or speak to your pediatrician next time you take your child in for immunizations in Bellingham.

World’s Record in Armenia!

Lynden MLM Scam The world record for the largest chocolate bar was broken on Sept 13, 2010. Guess where? Armenia! The chocolate bar weighed 9702 pounds (4410 kilograms). I don’t know why the location surprised me; chocolate is loved all over the world just as much as here in Bellingham, but if I hadn’t seen the news story I would have guessed Belgium, Switzerland, Japan or Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The Armenians may have created a two-ton candy bar, but Xocai distributors are selling tons of gourmet healthy chocolate in Ferndale, Bow and Burlington. If you are new to this Bellingham healthy chocolate blog, let me explain why Xocai is healthy. Xocai chocolate is packed with antioxidants which protect your system from free radicals. There is strong evidence that many chronic illnesses prevalent in Bow are caused by free radical damage. These include arthritis, diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and kidney disease. Free radicals also play a role in several types of cancer.

Xocai proudly displays the Brunswick Lab ORAC score on each Bellingham healthy chocolate label. The ORAC score is the amount of each type of antioxidant contained in the particular dark chocolate product. Brunswick Laboratories is a non-affiliated commercial lab that measures antioxidants in Burlington health foods and Lynden nutritional supplements.

The Washington Xocai chocolate collection includes chocolate cookies, solid chocolate, chocolate protein bars, the chocolate weight-loss shake, hot cocoa and a chocolate energy drink.

If you are a Bellingham chocolate cookie muncher, a Ferndale energy drink pounder, a Bow chocolate protein bar eater, or a Burlington hot cocoa sipper, Xocai has an antioxidant chocolate product for you. If you are interested in selling Xocai antioxidant chocolate in Lynden, contact me today.

Flu Shot Guidelines For Ferndale Kids

Flu Shot Guidelines For Ferndale Kids

Every year as winter approaches, many Ferndale parents wonder if they should get their kids a flu shot.

Everyone gets the flu, right? Is it that big of a deal?

In most cases, the flu is an inconvenience, but not detrimental beyond missing a few days of school. However, Ferndale pediatricians caution that it is extremely important for high risk kids to get a flu shot. Ditto if your child is in regular contact with a high risk person.

What qualifies a child as high risk? Ferndale experts say that chronic medical conditions such as diabetes or asthma puts a child at greater risk because the flu can contribute to serious complications. Many Ferndale doctors also recommend flu shots for all children under five years old. Ferndale experts advise getting your child’s flu vaccination as early as possible, in August or September or as soon as it is available, to protect them through the entire season which generally lasts from October to April.

Remember that two shots are required for children under the age of eight, given four weeks apart, for full protection your first year of getting vaccinated. Just one shot per year is needed after that.

Flumist is a nasal spray vaccine that can be given to healthy children ages two and up, an option that can be more child friendly. Side effects from either method of vaccination may include runny nose, muscle aches, vomiting, or low grade fever. The new flu vaccines offer protection from both H1N1 and the seasonal flu.

Exotic Pet Dangers In Burlington

Exotic Pet Dangers In Burlington

Does your child have an unusual pet? Many Burlington parents have bypassed cats and dogs for pets that don’t leave hair, urine, or vomit on the carpet. Ease of care, however, is not always a wise trade-off. Burlington parents should be aware of the multiple health and safety risks associated with reptiles, rodents, ferrets, primates, and even fish.

The following list of pets and the possible dangers reads like a script for a horror movie:

Fish: infections that can cause lung disease, skin infections, and leprosy
Hamsters: a virus that causes irreversible nerve damage
Hedgehogs: salmonella, yersinia pseudotuberculosis, rabies, and fungal infections
Iguanas, lizards, snakes: salmonella (the animals themselves can tolerate levels of salmonella far greater than humans)
Monkeys and other primates: herpes B (can cause meningitis in humans), tuberculosis, serious injury
Ferrets: these fierce critters with razor-sharp teeth have maimed many children
Prairie dogs: tuleremia (often fatal infection)
African Gambian rats: monkeypox (smallpox-related disease)

The foregoing information was taken from an excellent U.S. News article which can be found at http://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/on-parenting/2008/10/06/8-pets-that-pose-major-health-threats-to-kids

With proper hygiene and safety precautions these pets may not cause problems, but it is important to understand the possible dangers. Consult an expert for comprehensive instructions on caring for any traditional or non-traditional pet.

Make The Most Out Of Story Time In Bellingham

Make The Most Out Of Story Time In Bellingham

Bellingham parents know that reading with children is essential to their academic success and development, but not all storybook sessions are as productive as others in building literacy skills. Burlington, Bow, and Ferndale parents don’t need to worry, because a few simple guidelines can help your kids get the most from story time.

Instead of zooming through one picture book after another, take time to pause and allow your child to process the story.

Ask questions like, ‘What do you think will happen next?’ or ‘How did that make [the main character] feel?’ Enjoy the artwork and see what your child can infer from the pictures.

Beginning readers can point to each word as you read together. This will help them recognize that letters make up words and words make up sentences and they will get used to punctuation conventions.

Lynden parents may have to work to curb their boredom since kids love repetition and may ask for the same book over and over again. This is normal and healthy for younger kids, but if you have any concerns about their development, you should consult your Bellingham pediatrician.

As kids get older you can ask more probing questions such as, ‘What was the most interesting part of the book?’ or ‘What is the setting of the story?’ There are also great opportunities for discussions about problems and solutions as well as themes and morals in almost all stories.

Food Allergies In Bow Children

Food Allergies In Bow Children The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology estimates that around eight percent of U.S. kids are affected by food allergies.

Eight foods account for most children’s food allergies in Lynden: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, nuts, and wheat. Strawberries and tomatoes can also cause food allergies in young Bow kids, though generally not in adults.

Type and severity of allergy symptoms in Lynden kids vary, but may show up as itchy eyes, nose or throat, trouble breathing, gastrointestinal upset, or hives.

If you suspect your child may have a food allergy, keep a food journal of everything he or she eats (including beverages) for a week to show your Ferndale pediatrician. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may scratch the skin with a small amount of an allergen to observe the reaction.

To learn more about children’s health in
Lynden or to inquire about the nutritional superstar Xocai Protein Meal Shake, contact my office today.

Lynden Mega-Meals: Don’t Eat The Whole Thing!

Lynden Mega-Meals: Don't Eat The Whole Thing!

It’s no wonder that many Bellingham children and teens struggle with weight issues. What is considered a ‘normal’ food portion has been getting bigger and bigger. In some cases, as with gargantuan Bellingham fast food soft drinks and Lynden Costco muffins-on-steroids, it is absolutely ridiculous. And extremely unhealthy.

The findings from three large national surveys demonstrate:

‘Hamburgers have expanded by 23 percent; a plate of Mexican food is 27 percent bigger; soft drinks have increased in size by 52 percent, snacks, whether they be potato chips, pretzels or crackers, are 60 percent larger.’1

Bellingham restaurants and Lynden food and beverage manufacturers are not the only ones sabotaging our children. Portion sizes have increased in homes, also.

If Bellingham parents are going to help their children maintain a healthy weight, learning proper portion sizes is critical. If we don’t know the size of a healthy portion, how can we teach our children?

The Mayo Clinic website has a great slide show that helps Lynden parents and other children’s health advocates understand what ’4 ounces’ or a ‘half cup’ actually looks like. You can see it here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/portion-control/NU00267

Geo-Targeting Can Boost Your Bellingham Home Business

Geo-Targeting Can Boost Your Bellingham Home BusinessJust because your Lynden online business can sell to anyone on the globe, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to appeal to the customer next door. Specifying the markets you are targeting is an effective strategy for Bellingham internet business owners.

ListPipe, the corporate blogging authority, explains how localization can help your Bellingham home business e-store or blog:

The first reason is to appeal to the search engines for Lynden search results. With the popularity and widespread use of mobile devices, search engines have been quick to respond with results based on location.

When you search for ‘haircut’, for example, Google assumes you want to know where there are salons near your actual Washington location. Some devices provide an exact GPS coordinate for pinpoint accuracy. Others identify your general location from the receivers, routers, and other hardware through which your device is communicating.

Bellingham home business bloggers that include specific geo-locations will be more likely to show up in Lynden area search results.

Another important reason for Bellingham entrepreneurs to get local with their content is to generate a connection with your Bellingham and Ferndale customers. While it’s always important to talk about the value of your products, you can add blurbs about a popular Lynden sports team, current Washington event, or unique local culture. This personalizes your Bellingham home business blog posts and boosts your popularity. Most Washington folks love where they live and have a connection to other people in their Lynden community. Let your audience know that you are one of them.

Now here’s the trick: make your content relevant to your business objectives. You can’t just mention the local sports team or a current event without tying it to your business in some way. Otherwise, you appear to ramble or pander inexplicably to your online business blog visitors.

I am MXI Dark Chocolate Connoisseur JJ Birden. I coach new Bellingham internet business entrepreneurs and help them sell their products and services on the online marketplace. I use a variety of methods to market my Xocai Nuggets business and recruit distributors to my Xocai Nuggets direct sales network. Let me help you succeed: call 480.824.8318 today!

Bellingham Antioxidant Chocolate Drink

Antioxidant Chocolate Drink In Bellingham Its the time of year when many people in Bellingham want to curl up with a steamy mug of hot cocoa. What Lynden chocolate lover doesn’t want to sip a mega-calorie concoction of high cholesterol saturated fats mixed with cavity causing sugars?

It doesn’t sound quite as appealing when you tell the truth about the conventional hot chocolate sold in Lynden stores. Ferndale and Bow hot chocolate drinkers will be happy to learn that there is one brand of healthy antioxidant hot chocolate: Xocai Sipping Chocolate. Xocai, the company that created the healthy chocolate phenomenon has created a premium product for the hot cocoa lover.

You would never know it is good for your heart and won’t make you gain weight.

Many scientists are currently studying the health effects of dark chocolate and their conclusions continue to be overwhelmingly positive. Healthy chocolate has been shown to lower blood pressure, suppress appetite, decrease inflammation and (not surprising) elevate your mood.
