Driving And Back Pain - Is Your Car Seat Causing Lower Back Pain?

A lot of us experience lower back pain whilst driving. A number of researches have investigated the relationship between driving and Back Pain, which uncovered uncovered some interesting results. One finding is a comparison of drivers in the USA and in Sweden found that 50% of people questioned in both countries reported low back pain.

So what is the connection of driving and back pain?

Organic Baby Matress

So far research has found three factors for low back pain whilst driving. The first one is the vibration from the engine (something that you can not change), the sitting position is the second factor and the third one is the length of time that we drive.

Scientists at laboratories have researched the effects of vibration of our body whilst driving. The Lumbar Spine(lower back) naturally resonates at a frequency of 4-5 Hertz and from research they found that this natural frequency can be distorted. This distortion can result into higher spinal loadings (compression) in the lower back, therefore causing an increased chance of low back pain. As mentioned before you can not change the vibration of the engine, but what you can do to reduce the effects of this on your lower back is to drive shorter periods at a time.

It is a lot easier to get comfortable in your seat when the car is stationary, a bit like sitting in a normal chair. But once you start driving the body will be subject to various forces like accelerations and decelerations, lateral movements from side to side and whole body vibrations.When we sit on a chair our feet, when on the floor, are used to support and stabilise the lower body. Whilst driving our abdominal muscles can not provide enough stability to our upper body and arms when turning the wheel. This will result in a significant increase of torsional stresses in the lower back, which in return will significantly increase the risk of low back pain.

To start with we should address one more important issue first - we all are guilty when it comes to adjusting our car seats correctly! In 2004 one of the largest car insurance companies (I won't mention a name, after all you may think I am paid to write about this), released the findings of a research into how we sit in our car. (about 2.000 people were involved in this).

The research resulted in the following -

The headrest was found to be in an incorrect angle when driving of 61% of people involved in the study. This will increase the chance of ruptures of the spinal ligaments or worse when involved in an accident.
50% showed a slouched or hunched position over the steering wheel.
About a third of the drivers had back pain whilst driving.
25% tilted their heads or shifted in their seats each time they had to look into the 'rear view mirror'.
Wearing unsuitable footwear or clothing happened to 34% of the drivers.
Please find below a list of 10 ways that can help to improve your seating position, make your driving experience more comfortable.

The Seat

Make sure that your bottom sits all the way in the back of the seat - where the base and the back of the seat meet. This will help to make you sit more upright and maintain the natural curvature of the spine, minimizing the stress on the spinal ligaments. If your seat has a lumbar roll built in have this all the way out - most cars with lumbar support that i tried do not allow enough support fom this lumbar roll, therefore it would be best to have it all the way out.

The Base length and Height of the Seat

The base of the seat should never touch the back of your knees and the front of the base should be slightly higher then the back, helping to provide more support and allowing you press the pedals without changing your spinal posture.

The Backrest

First relax back into your seat, place the seat at about a 10-15 degrees incline from the vertical position. If this feels unnatural to you then it probably means that the backrest is not upright enough for you. This can result into neck strain and / or coccyx (sitting bone) pain. Move the backrest more upright or if that doesn't help you can place a small towel (folded in three) against the midspine, between the shoulder blades.

The Headrest

Have you ever noticed when watching an American movie that the headrests are often missing from the seats - it makes me crinch each time i see this (ooch). So much for giving a good example to our children. The position of your headrest will not only help to minimise the injuries of an accident but also to help to allow a better posture. The bony bit at the back of your head (known as the 'inion') is a good guiding point, the headrest should be level with this. There should be about 2.3 cm's (1 inch for the non -metrics) between the back of your head and the headrest, when you are in the sitting position as described earlier. This to absorb shock as much as possible. This allows for the ligaments and the muscles of your neck to control the posture of your head better and giving better support in case of an accident.

Seat - Pedal distance

Make sure you have the distance between seat and the pedals so that when operating the pedals this does not cause you to over strech your legs or twist your body in any way. Thus your legs should not be straight when pushing the throttle or clutch all the way down. Obviously your knees should not be bend to the point you cannot easily move from one pedal to another. It is normally adviced to have your knees bend about 45 degrees.

The Arm position

Your arms should be as relaxed as possible, elbows bend around 20-30 degrees. If your steering wheel is adjustable have it in the mid to lower position (make sure the wheel does not partially obstruct the instrument panel), this will help to reduce the stress on your shoulders. Your hands should be positioned at '10 past10' and not as is suggested left hand at 9 o'clock and right hand at 3 o'clock.

The Armrests

If your seat has armrests then it is adviced to use these. As a guidance you should position the armrests so that they gently support the elbows, any more will cause the shoulders to rise and increase the change of straining your neck.

The Mirrors

These should only be adjusted once you have positioned your seat as described above. If not sure then please revisit the information again how to adjust your seat. The mirrors should be adjusted to allow you to freely look into them without the need of having to move your head much. you either have adjusted the mirrors incorrectly or you are to close to the steering wheel.

Adjusting Seat at intervals

This sound great in theory but for most of us this may be akward whilst driving. For those who have electric seats it is easier (although it always advicable to stop first), just reach for the buttons to adjust the seat without the need to take our attention of the road. It is said that you should be doing this every 30 mins. to reduce the incidents of back pain. This allows to change the pressure that is placed on the spine is varied regularly. Once arrived at your destination it would be good to strech! (don't worry if it looks funny, soon everybody in the carpark will join in - you can be proud having started a new 'healthy' trend)

Have breaks

We all have seen the 'take a break' sign along the roads, helping you to avoid falling asleep behind the wheel. Taking a break helps your back as well, so when you need to take a rest you can have a strech at the same time to help your back. An hour maximum is the current thinking, although these tips should be taken as a general rule. This is a good time to adjust your seating position!

Sweet 16 Birthday Cake Ideas

A sixteenth birthday is always special. A 16-year-old is a class on his own - he or she is no longer considered a child, but is not an adult quite yet. This makes the planning for the birthday party hard, since you wouldn't want it to look like a children's party, but you don't want it to be too "adult" as well. Here are some sweet 16 birthday cake ideas that you can use.

Organic Baby Matress

Since the celebrant is young, color themes should also be young. Cake colors should be light, such as cream, pink, yellow and peach. Light blue shades as well as lilac and lavender may also be used. The colors and cake design must match the theme of the party. A layered fondant cake with pink or peach flower trimmings is ideal for parties with a costume ball theme. Celebrant can look like a princess with a balloon pink gown and tiara, and guests would wear costumes.

Organic Baby Matress

Another cake idea for the princess theme is to make small cupcakes and put them in a multi-layered cake stand. Trim them with little flowers made of icing. When arranged well, the cakes would look like little pots of flowers in a flower garden. You can use one color, or mixed pastel shades of pink, yellow and light orange. This cake would also be perfect if the party has a ballerina theme. A fairy theme would also be nice, with guests carrying wands and wearing shimmering pink wings.

With small round cupcakes, put colored frosting on top and arrange them so the cake would look like bubbles or balloons. This would look cute for a children's party theme, where guests can dress up like little kids. Instead of round cupcakes, you can also make square or rectangular ones, and decorate each with colored frosting to make them look like tiny gift boxes. With a little creativity, have fun with a frosting bag and create patterns to simulate gift wrapping paper and ribbons. Or you can decorate them to look like little colored trucks or cars. This cake idea can be used for any party theme.

For large parties, 16 photo cakes can be arranged to make a photo album cake. Photos of the celebrant from age 1 to 16 can be placed on each cake. Wouldn't it be fun for guests to see how the celebrant has grown and changed through the years?

So the next time someone turns sweet 16, finding birthday cake ideas should not be that difficult. You can browse through the internet and find pictures so you can show them to your baker. At this day and age, virtually any cake design is possible. So use your imagination, and be amazed at where it will take you.

How To Get Pregnant With Twins - 5 Tips To Follow

Many people believe children are the most rewarding part of life. Anyone looking for getting pregnant tips will be happy to learn there are methods known to improve fertility success. There is even an increased probability of producing twins without medical intervention by following a few simple tricks. Before attempting to produce multiples, women should educate themselves on the specific health risks involved in having two or more babies at once. There are potential health concerns for both mothers and their babies. If a woman still hopes for twins, then following one or more of the five natural methods listed below may help produce a pair.

Organic Baby Matress

The older the woman, the higher the chances of twins. After age 35, odds of dropping multiple eggs in one cycle (hyperovulation) increases with each year. Hyperovulation is the leading cause for fraternal twin pregnancies. Clinical studies show that a woman of 45 has a 17% higher likelihood of producing multiples over younger women.

Organic Baby Matress

Eating dairy regularly can increase the odds of producing twins by up to 5x. Women hoping to produce a pair should consider increasing foods like yogurt, cheese, and milk in their daily diets. Now ice cream can be a treat and a treatment for conceiving twins.

Wild yams are believed to be an effective twin producer. Researchers discovered a village in Nigeria with an astounding number of twins: quadruple twin births compared to all other regions on the planet. The people of this village survive off a diet high in Cassava Root, a wild yam containing progesterone inducing chemicals. This sweet root vegetable can increase hyperovulation in women who consume it regularly.

Taking birth control pills without following the directions properly can do the trick. Many women become impregnated with twins immediately after discontinuing oral contraception use, while other women who miss a pill or two accidentally find themselves expecting double trouble. Since birth control pills have no known risks to embryonic development, those trying to produce twins may want to try taking their oral contraceptives irregularly because it can increase Estrogen levels and result in dropping extra eggs.

Studies show folic acid supplements taken before conception may increase chances of twins by up to 40%. Women are advised to take prenatal vitamins prior to conception for the purpose of improving the early development of a baby. Whether through prenatal vitamins or a vitamin B complex, women can increase their daily intake of folic acid through vitamins and foods such as sunflower seeds, lentils, and black eyed peas.

There are many risks involved pregnancies of multiple babies. The biggest concern is premature delivery. Because the babies tend to run out of room faster, twins are usually delivered at least 4 weeks earlier than singletons. Premature birth poses several health risks to the infants who may have undeveloped lungs and low birth weights.

Many women experience ovulation during the first 7 days after the end of their periods. Trying to conceive during that 1st week after menstruation is 1 of the most effective getting pregnant tips for women wanting to have at least 1 baby soon. There are exactly 3 days each month when a woman has the highest chances of conceiving, so using an ovulation prediction kit may be helpful in determining when that window of time is. Stress is not helpful in conception, so just relax, enjoy a slice of sweet potato pie, and remember to have fun while working on increasing the family.

How to Remove Sour Milk Smell

The odor of spoiled milk is traditionally very difficult to remove. Fortunately, there are some relatively simple and inexpensive solutions. The sooner you clean the smelly spot, the greater your chances of restoring a fresh scent to your room, house, refrigerator and house-on-wheels.

Organic Baby Matress

Aside from that, the smell of spoiled milk can be quite hard to remove on your clothes, especially your baby's clothes, since babies have frequent access to milk and are most likely to spill milk on their clothes.

Organic Baby Matress

Baby clothes can be expensive and the kids grow out of them before they can possibly wear them. Often these adorable little outfits are passed on to another child; however, even though they are in good shape, they still have that telltale odor of spoiled milk that is almost impossible to get rid of. As always, there are ways around this dilemma.

Sour Milk Smell Removal

Avoid spilling milk if you can. Also, do not cry over the spilled milk if you indeed spilled it anyway. Do something about it instead.

* To remove stale milk smells, you first need to remove all the spilled stale milk. Use warm soapy water and perhaps some washing up liquid and clean up the affected area thoroughly first.

* After the mess has been cleared up, soak the area in white vinegar and mop up with paper towels. Put up with vinegary smell for about a week and after that, not a sign of vinegar smell or that horrible milk odor will remain.

* You can use an air freshener in the affected car to ensure a pleasant smell. Just try to let it dry for as long as possible. Soon, the milk smell will have disappeared from your surroundings.

* Use a commercial leather cleaner and odor eliminator on the leather upholstery of your car. Your dealer may carry these products. Allow the area to dry completely: residual moisture can cause mildew. Use a hair dryer or fan if necessary, being careful not to scorch carpet fibers with the hair dryer.

* You can also pour baking soda over the area where milk is spilled. Sprinkle some cold water on top of the baking soda and let it stand overnight. You can vacuum it the next day to remove the residue. If the smell still remains, you can try treating it with an enzyme odor remover.

* Take a bottle of club soda, stick your finger inside and shake to get a fizz going. With your finger still in bottle, spray on the stinky milk stain. Get it wet but not soaking. The smell might be worse at first but that it will go away as the whole thing dries unlike the untreated milk odor, which will only worsen as time passes by.

* You can also use brake cleaner if you're particularly desperate, but use it moderately and only on carpets, rugs or hard surfaces. Just put a small dab on a clean cloth, blot the milk stain and rinse with soap and water.

If it's baby clothes that are affected by the milk stench, then you could do the following: Fill the washing machine with hot water. Fill it at least high enough for a medium load. Add a cup of laundry detergent with one cup of dish washing detergent. Run the machine for a few minutes to mix the combination well. Turn the washing machine off.

Put the smelly baby clothes in the solution in the machine and leave them there. Let them soak overnight in the solution. Then, In the morning turn the washing machine on and let the clothes run through a full cycle. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse cycle. Vinegar is the choice product for general bad odor removal.

Finally, add a second rinse cycle to make certain that all the detergent residue gets rinsed out of the clothes. The baby's clothes, as well as your clothes, if you've tried this method on those as well, will be smelling fresh and clean by the end of the process so be proud of your work.

Infrared Turkey Fryer Review

There is nothing like the taste of deep fried turkey. For those folks who are still sticking with the baking method for turkey, well, they just don't know what they're missing, do they? Baked turkey is okay, but fried turkey is out of this world!

Organic Baby Matress

The best deep fried turkey is crispy on the outside and has delicious tasting juicy meat on the inside. This distinctive flavor combination has been enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day for many generations. Yet, the one thing that you always have to fear about frying a turkey is not the turkey, but the oil inside of a deep fryer igniting into an unwanted, and dangerous, fireball. Accidental fires caused by unattended turkey fryers have ruined many outside decks and homes. So, how can you enjoy your favorite fried turkey without all the worry?

Organic Baby Matress

The answer is to get yourself an infrared turkey fryer.

How Does it Work?

The infrared turkey fryer has a double wall cooking chamber that holds in the infrared heat, which radiates all around the turkey. This strong heat is what cooks the turkey evenly without a drop of oil. Now, you may be wondering where the heat actually comes from, and the answer to that is it has a bottom burner that is fueled by an attached propane tank.

Once you turn it on, the fuel from the propane mixes with the air to create the flames. From that point, hot air rises up through the oblong container creating the convection action that produces plenty of heat for cooking a 16-pound turkey.

Why Infrared Cooking is Safer Than Regular Fryers

Most experienced cooks, who are used to the old way of frying, will acknowledge that they have some worries about cooking with hot oil. Peanut oil, and any other type of oil that is put into a cooker, is going to be highly flammable if it gets over a certain temperature. Unless you are able to watch that pot every second, there's always a chance that a fire can erupt and spread quickly before you have time to react.

In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has noted that a majority of turkey cooker fires started while the oil was being heated up. This means it's very dangerous to leave a traditional hot cooker unattended. With the infrared turkey fryer, you no longer have to worry about this because there isn't any oil needed.

Healthy Eating

If you're moving towards more healthy eating, using an infrared turkey fryer is a perfect way to ensure that your turkey is still tasty, but isn't drenched with lots of fat. The fryer has a compartment at the bottom that allows the juices to drain off, and of course, there's no oil involved so the turkey cooks in its own natural juice.

For extra flavor, you can inject flavorings inside of the turkey or place special seasonings under the skin. The seasonings will give the meat a burst of flavor that stays during the entire cooking process. Your guests will be amazed that your fried turkey tastes just as good - or even better than the oil-cooked version.

Ease of Use

Forget about all of the work involved with purchasing the expensive oil, figuring out a safe place to cook the bird, cleaning up the mess left afterwards and disposing of the used oil. Simply prepare your turkey, place it inside of the infrared turkey fryer, turn it on and allow it to cook for the set amount of time. It's easy, environmentally friendly and a lot faster than the traditional method.

Red Bull Energy Drink Side Effects - True or False?

Is Red Bull safe? That's the question being bantered about in the media. This small, 8.4 oz. beverage has taken the U.S. by storm, generating millions of dollars in revenue. But there is an aura of mystery surrounding it. So the question that's inevitably asked is...are there side effects? Some say yes while others say no.

Organic Baby Matress

Those who believe there are side effects to drinking Red Bull specifically point out the high amount of caffeine in each can. Though, in reality, Red Bull contains about the same amount of caffeine as your average cup of coffee. Is caffeine detrimental to your health? Well, that's a whole other topic, but some studies have shown that high intakes of caffeine on a regular basis can increase the risk heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Of course, other studies show that caffeine can be beneficial to the human body. As you can see, there's no clear-cut answer. However, just to be safe, if you have a heart condition or any other medical condition, consult your doctor before drinking Red Bull or another energy drink.

Organic Baby Matress

On the flip side, supporters of the beverage believe the whole idea that there are Red Bull energy drink side effects is totally ridiculous. They point out that Red Bull provides a copious amount of b-vitamins, which are beneficial to many of our bodily processes, including disease prevention. And, as Red Bull claims in their advertisements, the increased concentration and focus that results after drinking the beverage can only be viewed as positive.

From personal experience, the only side effects I've experienced from drinking Red Bull are some jitters and nervousness, but that should be expected from most energy drinks. I believe you should try a can of Red Bull and see how you feel afterwards. That's the ultimate indicator of whether or not it's the right beverage for you. If you experience side effects, then you should discontinue consumption. If it "gives you wings" and helps you focus on important tasks, then keep drinking it.

Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Back Pain

Back pain in early days of pregnancy is normal and is considered a sign of pregnancy. It is an indicator of the start of a beautiful phase of the life of a woman. Most pregnant women can identify slight pain in their backs in their early weeks of pregnancy. The degree of pain lessens to an extent after around 20 weeks of pregnancy. Back pain that is normally reflected by muscle stretching in the right or left quadrant is because the supporting ligaments and disks become softer because of an increase in the progesterone level in the early weeks of pregnancy. In few cases the urinary infection in early weeks of pregnancy can also be the underlying cause. The added body weight and change in the point of center of gravity is also the cause of such pain.

Organic Baby Matress

Treatment for Back Pain In Early Pregnancy

Organic Baby Matress

The safest and easiest treatment for this problem is exercising. It is important to note that generally the medicines for pain in back are contraindicated during pregnancy.

Pelvic rocking, walking, bridgining ( by resting the back on floor and then lifting the hips), mini crunches and lifting the head after bending the knees are generally recommended exercise for such pain during early days of pregnancy. (These exercises should only be done after the consultation and recommendation of doctor). Any exercise or even a wrong posture may cause the pulling of a wrong muscle that is not good for the growing fetus. So it is important to consult an expert or do exercise only under strict medical supervision especially during pregnancy.

The right posture of body during pregnancy pays a key role in preventing and relieving from this type of pain. The right posture during pregnancy is to stand straight. This posture is even critical before pregnancy.

In the later weeks of pregnancy the cause of back pain is the added weight. The uterus grows in size, women try to pull her shoulders back to offset added belly weight. This results in a strain on back. This back pain in late pregnancy can be reduced by changing the sitting position more often and avoiding from standing for long hours.

Proper hours for resting and sleeping are also important for eliminating back pain. Pregnant women must avoid doing strenuous work and take proper time for relax. Yoga exercise is also helpful for relieving stress as well as pains in back and head.

In extreme cases of back pain doctors have you prescribe physiotherapy, special mattresses or massages.

Anti Wrinkle 55 Serum - Botox in a Bottle

If you are looking for an anti aging that produces fantastic results in a short period of time, then look no further. I think I've found what all we women have been looking for, and that is Anti-wrinkle 55 Serum.

Organic Baby Matress

Anti-wrinkle 55 Serum has sold over 100,000 bottles in the USA already. It uses proven Argirilene Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid to put collagen production in overdrive and help you to look younger.

Organic Baby Matress

Unlike anything else you may have tried, this 55 Serum contains 14 carat gold flakes that disappear into the skin, pulling toxins out and gently opening the pores to allow the 55 serum to soak in.

The things that age our skin most are:
1. The Sun 2. Pollution 3. Smoking 4. Tanning Beds 5. Chemicals in other products

Old and dead skin sags and looks dull. The best think you can do is to renew yuour skin cells by removing toxins. By using Anti-wrinkle 55 Serum constantly removing dead skin cells so you are preventing new wrinkles and lines from appearing.

Moisture is very important for skin and as we age, our body depletes skin of vital moisture, especially this hyaluronic acid. This is why it is so important to put it back into the skin. In my experience, the Anti-wrinkle 55 Serum is the best product for doing this, especially for the skin around your eyes, face, lip wrinkles, foreheads and even your neck. It is like Botox in a Bottle.

Anti-wrinkle 55 Serum contains the absolute strongest natural ingredients to prevent and remove the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is a firming gel containing emu oil, hyaluronic acidm aloe vera and pure gold flakes. It works in a very similar way to Botox because it relaxes the facial muscles, however it also provides immediate hydration which Botox does not. The results you see using Anti-wrinkle 55 Serum are very long lasting and with repeated use can keep premature aging at bay.

Collagen stimulation and more collagen stimulation. Longer collagen fibers are the key. So what does skin need to produce these longer and healthier collagen fiber? Hyaluronic acid and omega 3's and these ingredients both feature in the 55 Serum. Skin loses hyaluronic acid as it ages and omega 3's must come from outside sources since the body does not produce them itself. Anti wrinkle 55 Serum contains pure forms of both.

I urge you to try 55 Serum and believe you will see results in a few days. Remember, it uses pure gold flakes to gently detox cells of harmful toxins in the skin that pollute and damage, resulting in premature aging. I challenge you to try this out. The natural remedy will start to outsell Botox I believe because it is much much more affordable with no risks or side effects.

Little Noisy Breathers - Baby Snoring

If you're a parent of a noisy newborn, it's really nothing that should cause any alarm. Like most parts of their bodies, which are still immature, babies are noisy breathers in general because their nasal passages are still narrow and usual are filled with bubbly secretions. When air passes through these puddles of secretions, a vibratory sound is produced - making us think our baby is "snoring". Baby snoring is basically just a sound produced by the soft tissues as air passes in. As the baby grows older, as well as his nasal passages, and as he learns to swallow excess saliva these vibratory sounds or baby snoring should subside.

Organic Baby Matress

Some ways to get home relief for these little snores is to clear the baby's air passages. If you think the baby's nose seems partly obstructed, spurt a few drops (be careful not to drown your baby) of saltwater in you baby's nose. Some drugstores recommend saline nose sprays but you can make your home-made version by diluting ¼ teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of clean or pre-boiled water. Use a nasal aspirator (available in drugstores and baby's sections) to gently suck out the secretions out of your baby's nose.

Organic Baby Matress

Another home remedy for baby snoring is to clean nasal passages using steam. Do this in the evening, before bedtime usually occurs during this time. Give your baby a warm shower (or you can stand with you baby) to loosen excess secretions. Another thing to avoid baby snoring is to clear your baby's room of allergens like dust collectors or animal dander. These allergens cause the excess production of mucus as the body's natural defenses to clean the air entering the body.

In instances, though, when baby snoring still persists, as your baby grows older, it's best to pay a visit to your pediatrician. Some infant snoring is caused by an abnormal structure in his nasal passages. Enlarged tonsils are also cause of snoring in older children but rarely does this happen to infants. Enlarged tonsils may be corrected by a simple outpatient operation. Pediatricians may also check for cysts or if there are no abnormal movements in your baby's palate.

One more cause for baby snoring is laryngomalacia. Laryngomalacia is a condition in which your baby's cartilage, that opens as air passes in, has not fully matured yet but this should subside by the sixth month.

Baby's weight may also contribute to baby snoring. Frequent baby snoring may already be a sign of sleep apnea. If your baby has this condition, his breathing may stop for about 10 seconds (due to the obstruction in the nasal passages). Baby's and toddlers experiencing sleep apnea tend to be sleepy and tired during the day.

How To Get Rid Of Fruit Flies With A Homemade Fruit Fly Trap

Anyone who has ever left a few bananas sitting out or forgotten to change their garbage knows all too well the problem with fruit flies. It seems that once they've invaded your kitchen, you can't get rid of them. You can scrub, clean, remove tempting fruit and spray the garbage can with disinfectants, but they always come back. You can't help but cringe just looking at them.

Organic Baby Matress

We have always had problems with fruit flies, with one of the main reasons being that we live in an apartment and by law - must recycle. Because of where we live, we have to keep our recycling containers inside until they can be disposed of once a week. If the recyclables aren't cleaned well enough after being used, they make a perfect breeding ground for fruit flies. They love bits of rotting food remnants and seem to thrive in even the smallest amount. When fruit flies move in, they just don't want to leave and will lay eggs in and on anything they can find - fruits & vegetables left on the counter, sink drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles & cans, garbage bags, and even mops and rags.

Organic Baby Matress

A Few Fun Facts About Fruit Flies:

- Can lay up to 500 eggs at a time

- Their entire lifecycle is complete in about a week

- While considered mainly a pest, they have the potential to contaminate food with dangerous bacteria

We all know that removing the food, getting rid of the garbage & cleaning up plays a big role, but we also know what it's like to move a piece of fruit and have a swarm of fruit flies fill the air only to escape your attempts at killing them. Where are they gonna go? Obviously the ones flying around can't be easily captured or killed, so they'll linger about until they find some other place to lay eggs and the whole cycle starts again.

In all my attempts, I found the best way to capture and remove the ones that escape is to create a simple trap using a jar, plastic wrap and a piece of food. Here's how it works:

1. Get a small jar you don't plan on using again ( like a baby food jar or something similar ) and wash it out well. Make sure it is not a jar with a funky smell such as a used pickle jar or anything that use to have strong spices. You want a clean, odorless jar.

2. Take a chunk of banana and place inside the jar. This is why you want a clean, odorless jar - so that the banana smell won't be overpowered by other not-so-tempting smells. Banana seems to work the best, but you can experiment.

3. Fit a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the jar, making sure that it fits tight and well sealed around the edges. Then take a pen or pencil and poke 4 to 5 holes in the plastic, just big enough for a fruit fly to fit into. Once a fruit fly crawls in, it can't get out. You would think they would just fly back out through the holes, but they won't!

4. Place the jar in an area where you have seen the most fruit flies. Depending on the amount of fruit flies you have, you can expect to start seeing the jar fill up within just a few hours. After 24 hours, you will discover just how bad your fruit fly problem is!

This simple, inexpensive & safe method works perfectly and if you don't want the jar on public display, you can always slip it behind the garbage can, in the cupboard or even under the sink (Just don't forget about it!). You will want to empty the jar every 3-4 days before any eggs have a chance to hatch. While adult fruit flies can't easily escape through the holes, their maggots can very easily, and besides that - they are disgusting to see crawling around in the jar. You don't want to see these things crawling on your counter!

Cleaning out the jar shouldn't be a problem. If you have a kind heart, you can choose to let them go outside. Personally, I spray the little buggers with bug spray, wash out the jar and start the whole process over again if I think there are still some fruit flies left to capture.

For bad fruit fly problems, you will want to use this method for a good two weeks to make sure you've captured the majority of fruit flies. You might even want to use a few jars in different places. Before long, your kitchen will be back to normal.

A Summary Of Some Common Skin Rashes In Babies

Cradle cap is a condition whereby patches of greasy yellow flakes and small pimple-like bumps appear on the scalps of healthy babies. Sometimes it may appear on the eyebrows, ears and other areas where sebaceous glands are located. It can occur in any baby, and appear during the early weeks of life and will clear by the sixth month. Some dermatologists think that high levels of maternal hormones are transmitted to the baby during the final weeks of pregnancy. This makes the sebaceous (oil) glands in the baby's skin hyperactive which trigger overproduction of sebum which not only overstimulates the growth of new skin cells but also binds the old skin cells into flakes and crusts. It often has a mild unpleasant smell and does not cause any discomfort to the baby.

Organic Baby Matress

Some doctors recommend leaving it alone but I prefer to treat it early because I have seen many cases whereby the crust becomes so thick that whenever it is rubbed, large chunks of hair comes off leaving a very red and raw looking area. Treatment is to apply a liberal amount of baby oil to the affected area about 20 minutes before the baby's bath. This will allow the crust to become soft and easy to remove. During the bath, apply a little baby shampoo to the head and using a soft hair brush or face cloth, gently brush or rub the crust off. Do this once a day until the crust has been completely removed. Sometimes it may recur after a few days so continue to wash baby's hair in the same way. Once the baby's sebaceous (oil) glands settle down the condition will disappear.
N.B. The oil application must be shampooed out to prevent an oily buildup which may make the condition worse. Do not try and remove the crusts and scales with the tip of a fingernail.

Organic Baby Matress

Heat rash consists of tiny blisters filled with sweat. It forms when the pores become blocked and prevent the sweat glands from releasing the sweat or when heat and humidity exceed the ability of the sweat glands to cool the body. Babies are especially vulnerable because their ability to sweat is not fully developed and they often wear or lie on waterproof materials. It normally develops around the neck, face, armpits and sometimes on the chest and back.

Western medication includes applying calamine lotion and antihistamines for severe itching. Sometimes applying a light dusting of corn starch powder may help to relieve the itchiness. Chinese traditional remedy is to bath the baby with boiled dried bitter gourd vine daily for 3 days.

It is best to prevent the condition from developing by dressing the baby in light cotton clothes especially in warm or hot weather. Avoid laying the baby on a plastic covered mattress or pad. Do not apply moisturizing cream or lotions or use bath oils for babies under 3 months as these products may clog the pores. Do not over wrap the baby in layers of clothes and swaddling blanket.

Nappy rash is often due to infrequent nappy change causing irritation from ammonia which is released when bacteria starts breaking down the contents of a dirty nappy. It could be due to an allergy to your washing powder or fabric conditioner if your baby wears cloth diapers or a food/drug allergy especially antibiotics. The genital area, buttocks, groins and sometimes the upper thighs will look red and inflamed. It can be dry or moist and sometimes look pimply. Babies with nappy rash may be very fussy and cries frequently or does not seem bothered at all.

"Prevention is better than treatment" so the best defence against nappy rash is a dry bottom.

Infantile eczema is an itchy dry scaly rash usually seen on the cheeks or chin, but may show up on the head, trunk, back of arms, or front of legs and is not contagious. It is first noticed at 2 to 5 months of age and is most common in families with history of allergies or asthma. In most cases it will settle down by the time the child reaches school age but for some it may continue to be a life long problem. The frequency and severity of flare ups can be dramatically reduced with careful daily washing using a hypoallergenic soap and applying moisturisers, topical steroids when needed. Avoid trigger factors such as excessive sweating, woollen clothing, soaps and bubble bath. Sometimes it may be necessary to give baby antihistamine if the itch is very intense and is making the baby very irritable.

Sometimes the eczema can become infected by bacteria and this causes extensive redness, swelling and weeping of the affected area. In this case it may be necessary for the doctor to prescribe an antibiotic cream together with a steroid cream. Children with severe eczema usually also have hay fever and asthma.

Urticaria or hives are red or pink raised areas on the skin that are very itchy and warm to the touch. It may appear on any part of the body and usually last from a few hours to a few days, but can stay for weeks or even months in some cases. Hives are usually caused by food allergies with the most frequent culprits being eggs, shellfish, chocolate, food additives, colouring or preservatives. It can also be due to allergy to certain drugs or in response to contact with animals especially cats or from insect bites.

It may come on after exposure to extreme temperature especially heat or chemicals. Most often hives will disappear on its own after the allergic reaction is over. If it causes itching and discomfort, the doctor may prescribe an oral antihistamine and calamine lotion to apply on the rashes. Avoid giving your child allergy causing food until the hives have subsided. Later try to find the offending culprit by reintroducing the food item one at a time and once you know the offending food it is important to let your child's caretakers or school teachers know so that the food is avoided. This is because very rarely, hives can develop in the mouth and throat which can obstruct the child's airways. You can put this information on sticker labels on your child's feeding utensils especially in preschools when your child is too young to tell the caretakers.

Traditional Chinese therapy recommends not bathing the child as it will cause more rashes to appear and make the rash itch more. Treatment is to heat up some rice wine and apply it on the rashes 3 times a day. Most often the rashes will disappear after 2 days.

Hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a skin rash with flat or raised red spots on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet and sometimes on the buttocks. Often the rash will form tiny blisters which look like the chickenpox rash but it does not itch. A day or two later the child may develop sores or blisters on the tongue, gums and inside of the cheeks. They begin as small red spots on the tongue, gums or mucous membranes which then develop into blisters or sores.

It is caused by Coxsackie virus A16 which belongs to a group of viruses called enterovirus and is normally not serious. Infection is spread by direct contact with saliva, nose and throat discharges, fluid from the blisters or the stool of an infected person who is most contagious during the first week of the illness. All infected cases recover without medical treatment by 7 to 10 days. It is most common between ages 6 months and 4 years. Very rarely, it may be caused by another strain of Coxsackie virus EV71 whereby the child develops aseptic meningitis or encephalitis (Inflammation of the brain). This strain may be fatal as in the case in Sarawak in 1997.

Treatment is to provide relief from fever or pain from the mouth ulcers and give plenty of fluids. There is no immunization for HFMD.

Thrush or candidiasis is a fungal infection from Candida albicans. It appears as a red bumpy rash in the diaper area and the bumps are sometimes pus-filled. It may be worse in the skin folds and does not respond to diaper cream. Often the primary source of infection is in the mouth which then spreads to the nappy area from the contaminated stools. It normally starts as a couple of white patches on the sides of the mouth and if not treated quickly can spread until the tongue is coated as well. This makes it painful for baby to suckle. The creamy patches look like milk curds and therefore is easily missed. Use a cotton bud to wipe the white patches. If the patches cannot be removed it confirms that the baby has thrush therefore should be taken to the doctor who may prescribe Daktarin gel for the oral thrush and cream for the nappy area. If the infection is severe it may be necessary for the doctor to prescribe Daktacort which has a small amount of steroid in it to speed up the healing process. All feeding equipment must be boiled thoroughly for 10 minutes to prevent recurrence.

Roseola infantum or false measles is a viral illness in young children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. The rash is pink and may have small flat spots or raised bumps. These spots may have a lighter "halo" around them and may turn white if you press on them.

Roseola usually starts out with a sudden high fever often over 103° Fahrenheit or 39.5° Celsius. During this time, the child may appear fussy or irritable and may have decreased appetite, mild diarrhoea and swollen lymph glands in the neck. The fever typically lasts three to five days and end abruptly followed by the telltale rash which is usually seen on the trunk and neck, but it can extend to the limbs and face. The rash may last for several hours or days.

A diagnosis of roseola cannot be made until the fever drops and the rash appears, so the doctor may order tests to make sure that the fever is not caused by another infection.

Roseola is contagious and spreads through tiny drops of fluid from the nose and throat of infected people. There is no known way to prevent the spread of roseola. Repeat cases of roseola may occur, but they are not common.

Treatment is to keep your baby well hydrated with lots of fluids and to control the fever to prevent a febrile seizure as about 10 to 15 percent of children with roseola have a febrile seizure.
