wwwkristinjohnstoncom: Go To Remedies - 06/01/12 06:47 AM
I was forwarded an article by Dr Oz about certain remedies, and I thought I would share it over a few posts...Here are the first 2 remedies:
1. Can't sleep? If you are already in bed, visualize your limbs falling asleep, starting with your toes and working up to your head. The concentration this requires is an energy drain, so it makes you more tired as the body lets go. Valerian root tea is another standby. It has a sedative effect. For short-term insomnia, you can take pure melatonin, but take just 1mg, not the 5 you see in some over … (13 comments)

MEMORIAL DAY 2012by Donna F. Miller Should I wear black on Memorial DayAnd mourn the dead in a somber wayAnd visit the fields in which they lay? Or should my clothes be a patriot's choiceOf red, white and blue as we rejoiceAnd celebrate freedom with cheerful voice? Remember the fallen as you choose.They paid the price; they paid our dues. We know we're lucky to be in our shoes. So whether at home, the beach or the mallStop on that day and pause to recall.The American Vet gave a gift to us all.

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: Final Summer Food Myths - 05/27/12 06:30 AM
Here are the final 2 Summer Food Myths from the Rachel Ray Magazine:
1. MYTH: Grilled foods up your cancer risk. FALSE! Grilled food is safe; it's charring you should avoid--that black, ashy layer may contain risk-increasing chemicals. To nix charring, cook at a lower temp to stop flare ups, and marinate with antioxidant rich herbs. Research suggests that taking these steps can help fend off the concerning compounds. By the way, the chemicals form only on animal proteins. If you like grilled vegetables with dark, crispy bits, have at them!2. MYTH: Drinking hot tea on a blazing … (16 comments)

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: More Summer Food Myths - 05/26/12 06:22 AM
Here are the second pair of Summer Food Myths fromn the Rachel Ray Magazine:
1. MYTH: All veggie burgers are good for you. FALSE! You may feel virtuous grilling up a veggie burger instead of a thick beef patty, but not all meatless burgers are created equal. Some are highly processed and packed with salt. Just one patty can have up to 400mg of sodium, which is 25 percent of your daily allowance. Before you buy, read the label. You want to see veggies high up in the ingredient list.
2. MYTH: When you leave plastic bottles in the … (17 comments)

I found some great info in a recent Rachel Ray Magazine that I thought I would share with you in a 3 part series, of 2 myths a piece. Enjoy!
If you pass on the mayonnaise-heavy salads at the backyard barbecue and worry about leaving your plastic water bottle in the sun, relax. Here's the straight scoop on staying healthy when it's hot out.
1. MYTH. Mayo-based salads left unrefrigerated can make you sick. FALSE! Mayo is very safe for two reasons: It's pasteurized at the factory and it's full of acid, which creates an environment that stops harmful bacteria … (23 comments)

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: Hidden Sun Risks - 05/12/12 07:08 AM
Sitting by the pool or lying on a beach aren't the only times to safeguard your skin. Don't forget the sunscreen in these situations as well:
1. Your Commute. Your skin is exposed to the sun in your car--and experts are seeing an increase in skin issues they suspect are driving related--such as more fine lines, precancerous and even cancerous spots on the left side of the face of patients.
2. Working Indoors. UVA rays come in through windows and if you are in a room with lots of sunlight, there is a good chance that the rays will … (23 comments)

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: Boost Your WillPower - 05/09/12 06:21 AM
A friend sent me an article that said if you beat a sugar craving in the afternoon, you are more likely to give in to temptation later in the day. That is because willpower is a limited resource that depletes as you perform acts of self control. Makes sense, right? Willpower is like a muscle that gets stronger from exercise. Build it up by changing small behaviors in positive ways----over time you will get better control over all your actions. Start by tackling easy goals and gradually work your way up to the more difficult ones.

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: More Pantry Tips! - 05/08/12 05:57 AM
So you want to be organized, but have storage containers that look neat too. Here are some helpful hints for getting the most out of your pantry containers.
BE SQUARE. Square bottoms take up less space, as do containers that nest next to each other.
GO CLEAR. Clear is great because you can see at a glance what you have. Clear acrylic containers with a center ring that pops down for an airtight seal are one of the most popular things on the market right now.
DO THE HAND TEST. Can you open the container with one … (19 comments)

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: Peas...Did you know? - 05/06/12 06:57 AM
I love fresh, crisp peas. Even though they are a little veggie, they are packed with great nutritional value. Here's some of the good things peas do for you:
1. Stop inflammation in its tracks. There are so many vitamins in peas (A,B6,C,etc) that fight free radicals, those cell-damaging molecules. Peas also contain a good amount of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, another important nutrient for keeping inflammation in check.
2. Keep your blood sugar steady. A combination of fiber, protein and a low glycemic index, means that peas will fill you up, and keep you fueled.
3. Protect … (22 comments)

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: Spring Cleaning Shake Up! - 04/17/12 06:46 AM
Do you want to freshen up your spring cleaning routine? Common household items can be used in new ways to assist with that. Consider the following:
1. Dust Trapper. The right duster can clean more than your floors. Use a microfiber mop on walls and ceilings. Run the duster along crown moldings to grab particles you can't see.
2. Soap Scum Buster. Used fabric softener sheets are great for removing soapy reside from glass shower doors. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the sheet and scrub away grime.
3. Paintbrush Duster. A new soft-bristled paintbrush makes … (8 comments)

wwwkristinjohnstoncom: The Meal Deal - 04/16/12 06:12 AM
I read a recent Better Homes and Gardens article, which said the research is clear: Family dinners are good for kids. But if you are not in the habit, it can be hard to make it happen. Thanks to The Family Dinner Project, an online community started by a bunch of like-minded Harvard folks. On their site, thefamilydinnerproject.org, you can find tips to get started (think small and don't obsess on dinner---maybe breakfast is better for your family), a log to track progress, a list of one-line conversation starters, mealtime games, and of course, menus. Genius!
