Unstuff the Stuffies

This is a quick tip I discovered after a shower a few years ago. When you get a cold that really stuffs up your nose, take a hot shower. When you get out, immediately give your nose a good blow (not too hard…lol) and you will be surprised how much mucus comes out. If I have a bad cold, I may take three or more showers a day. LOL. Oh, and just standing in the bathroom while the shower is running does not work.

If you have little children a long hot bath can work too, However, a shower seems to be the most successful method for our family. The little ones can stand in there for a few minutes and let the warm water run down over them. Make it fun if you need to!

Doing this before bed really helps me have a better nights sleep as well.

Note: this does not cure the stuffy nose. It only offers me relief and maybe it will for you too. Oh, and ALWAYS supervise kids and water.

5 Steps to Avoid Heartburn

Heartburn can be a horrible and uncomfortable thing to deal with. The nest way to take care of heartburn is to avoid it!

Tips to help you avoid Heartburn:

1- Watch out for trouble foods that cause heartburn; alcohol, chocolate, fatty foods, mints, citrus, coffee, and sodas. If you must have them take an antacid before you eat the trouble food.

2- Eating large meals can increase pressure on the stomach, which can cause acid to creep back up the esophagus. Try eating small, frequent meals.

3- Do not wear tight clothing around your abdomen.

4- Try not to bend over right after eating.

5- Wait a couple of hours after eating before you lie down.
