Brush with Baking Soda
Swap your regular toothpaste for a little baking soda and a pinch of salt to remove tartar build up on your teeth. Positive Med also recommends making a mouthwash from baking soda by mixing 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1 cup of water, 10 drops of lemon oil, 4 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin and 1 teaspoon of Aloe Vera gel. Mix well and use once or twice a day.
Nosh on some fruits:
Grab a few of your favorite red fruits (strawberries and tomatoes to be exact) and rub them on your teeth. Let the juice stand on your teeth for five minutes to soften the buildup. Rinse your mouth with baking soda and warm water for a brighter smile. Other foods that work well include bell peppers, berries, lemons and oranges, according to Positive Med.
In addition to these simple recipes, a few changes in your routine may help too. Positive Med recommends ditching the tobacco, brushing and flossing regularly, and upping the spicy foods in your diet (to promote saliva build up and the natural cleaning process).

Calm down a fussy baby instantly by massaging these 7 points

According to Nourish, reflexology is the practice of massaging the feet to stimulate certain nerve endings. These nerve endings correspond to organs and zones in the body, so you can match your massage to your baby’s ailments. Keep reading the key points to massage for your baby.
Before beginning the massage, Natural Transition recommend relaxing your baby and encouraging blood flow to the foot with a soothing foot rub, or a bath. Consult the information below to find the relevant reflex area, and then begin your massage. Apply gentle pressure and be aware that these nerve endings may be sensitive, especially if your little one is sick. Here are the 7 points to know:

1) Head and teeth. Massaging the tips of the toes can be especially useful when infants are teething. As MamasMakeMilk suggests, you can even do it while they’re asleep so they’re less likely to wake up from teething pain.

2) Sinuses. According to Daily Health Post, the pressure points which correspond to the sinuses are in the center (of the underside) of your baby’s toes. Applying gentle pressure to these spots can help with sinus pain and a range of cold and allergy symptoms related to the respiratory system.

3) Chest. You can try this one for babies with congestion in the chest, according to David Wolfe. The pads of the feet, just under the toes and above the arch, correspond to the chest. Applying gentle pressure to this point in a circular motion can help to relieve the discomfort related to congestion and coughing. Remember, reflexology is a complimentary therapy – you should see a doctor to treat any underlying issue as chest infections can be dangerous.

4) Solar plexus. The solar plexus is a collection of nerves hidden between your stomach and lungs, and it is connected to a point in the center of the foot, just below the pads of the feet where the arch begins. The Hearty Soul explains that discomfort related to upset tummies, spasms, tightness and trouble breathing can be related to this area and light massage can help.

5) Upper Abdomen. Greenyway recommends massaging the space between the middle of your baby’s foot and the pads of their feet to alleviate constipation, heartburn, and indigestion.

6) Lower Abdomen. The portion between the middle of your foot and your heel is linked to the lower abdomen. This spot is especially good to massage in babies who suffer from gas and bloating in the lower intestine, which are common reasons for discomfort according to The Hearty Soul.

7) Pelvis. Lastly, the heel of the foot is connected to the pelvis, the hips and tummy. David Wolfe explains that babies grow rapidly and so pain and tightness in the hips is common, as are posture issues. Rubbing the heel can also help with sore tummies and constipation.

It isn’t always easy to find a time when your baby is lying still and relaxed, but Natural Transition has a few great suggestions: try massaging while your baby is asleep or feeding, or while in another relaxing position such as a rocker or a sling, or even during bath time. If you’d like to try reflexology with an older baby, you can play games like “this little piggy went to market” and incorporate the massage into that.

If you have any concerns for your baby’s health it’s important that you visit a doctor, but reflexology can be a safe and effective complimentary therapy, and a lovely way for you to connect with

7 Simple Tips to Make Your Pregnancy Easier

Pregnancy is a magical moment in a woman’s life, and the miracle of creating and developing a real person is second to none in this world. But there is a very unpleasant aspect of this trip that any pregnant woman can attest to.

From that craving for 3 hours of fried chicken to all the weird things that happen to your body that you never imagined, pregnancy isn’t a walk in the garden! Nor does it help with misconceptions and myths coming to you from everywhere.

But do not worry. Everything will soon end and you will get the perfect small gift at the end. In the meantime, here are a few simple tips to make pregnancy easier:

1. Use a Lot of Pillows

Pillows! They are your best friend during pregnancy. A growing abdomen makes it difficult for you to go to bed, and having lots of pillows can make your life easier.

Some pregnant women choose to buy a long pregnancy pillow that extends from head to head and around it. It also helps you lie on your side and avoid rolling, which is important during the third trimester of pregnancy. What if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a special pillow? You just need to collect all the extra pillows in your house and arrange them according to what makes you comfortable!

2. Eat Healthy and Avoid Greasy Foods

You had imagined that being pregnant meant being able to eat a whole box of pizza on your own and no one would notice if you were gaining weight because you’re already doing it anyway, right? Oh boy, I was wrong!

Cravings for fatty foods are common (and harmless from time to time), but they are also accompanied by unpleasant side effects. For example, I suffered from a real heartburn when I was pregnant. Let me tell you, not fun. Try to stick to fresh foods, whole grains, and lean meats to get the nutrition you need, but also to keep everything going well in your body. It will also prevent you from achieving a lot, which may make your child overweight, not to mention the difficulty of losing it later!

Coronavirus: What it does to the body

The battle against the new Corona virus was a battle against the unknown for doctors.

How do you attack the body? What is the full set of symptoms? Likely to be seriously ill or die? How do you deal with it?

Now, a report from doctors on the frontline of the epidemic at Jianitan Hospital in Wuhan has begun to provide answers.

A detailed analysis of the first 99 patients treated was published in the Lancet medical journal.

Lung attack

All 99 patients who were hospitalized had pneumonia – their lungs were inflamed and the pouches were small as the oxygen moved from the air to the blood filled with water.

Other symptoms were:

  • 82 had fever
  • 81 had a cough
  • 31 had shortness of breath
  • 11 had muscle ache
  • nine had confusion
  • eight had a headache
  • five had a sore throat

[the_ad_group id=”587″]

The first deaths

It appears that the first two patients who died were healthy, although they had been smoking for a long time and this would weaken their lungs.

The first, a 61-year-old man, had severe pneumonia when he arrived at the hospital.

He was suffering from severe shortness of breath, which meant that his lungs were unable to provide enough oxygen for his organs to keep his body alive.

Despite the ventilator, his lungs failed and his heart stopped beating.

He died 11 days after entering.

The second patient, a 69-year-old man, also suffered from acute respiratory distress syndrome.

It was attached to an artificial lung or ECMO (oxygen by a membrane outside the body) but that was not enough.

He died of acute pneumonia and septic shock when his blood pressure collapsed.

5 Causes of Obesity That are NOT Excessive Eating

Obesity is a serious problem that is increasing in many parts of the world, especially in North America. It affects everyone, from children to adults and the elderly. Contrary to popular belief that overweight or obese people cannot control their eating habits or eat a lot of fast food, there are many other factors that play a role.

Of course, as always, education is essential to fight any pandemic, which is why you should be aware of the causes of obesity. Overeating is certainly, but only a very small percentage. So let’s explore other causes of obesity.




1. Genetics

Genetics play a major role in determining your weight. If you are obese or obese grandparents, you are more likely to be the same. It is said that the amount of influence of genetic factors on the onset of obesity varies between 40 and 70% and depends on other environmental factors.

A study focusing on how obesity is transmitted during childbirth has found that children born to obese parents have an 80% chance of ending obesity themselves. This was compared to children born to parents of normal weight who had a 10% risk of obesity. The fact is that some people’s genes are eliminated better in things like higher metabolism and less appetite than others, and these can affect what’s going on.

2. Environment

The environment is the second most important factor that affects your ability to maintain a healthy weight other than genetics. It largely depends on how and where you were born and when you were a child, and the lifestyle choices you have been preparing for since childhood.

Eating fresh, natural foods is essential, but it can be difficult to always have these foods that are not readily available or when your family / community has been on a diet for a long time. “Comfortable” food is often very unhealthy, but some people seem to have no other choice. It is also important that you exercise regularly from childhood, which people who live and grow up in places like cities, for example, may find it difficult to integrate into their lifestyle.

3. Food Knowledge

As we mentioned, education is a major factor in tackling any problem you may face in life, and obesity is no different. Since many people are unaware of nutritious or unhealthy foods for the foods they eat daily, they can build up over their lifetime.




Certain foods that we think are good for us, whether due to ignorance or misinformation, can be harmful. This can hinder your attempts to eat a balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight, no matter how hard you try. Controlling parts is another important thing to consider, because just because food is considered safe doesn’t mean large amounts can be consumed. Everything is in moderation!

4. Metabolism & Hormone Imbalance

Metabolism is the body’s ability to efficiently break down the food we eat and convert it into energy. When a person’s metabolism is not working to its full potential, untapped calories can be harvested as obesity in the body, resulting in weight gain.

Whether a person has a high or low metabolism can depend on several factors. One, as we mentioned earlier, could be genetically linked. Other common factors include diseases that cause a hormonal imbalance in your body, such as hypothyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome, depression, or other neurological problems. In addition, if someone is on a single drug like steroids or antidepressants, whether related to the aforementioned diseases or not, it can also affect your metabolism, stimulate unhealthy cravings and cause weight gain.

5. Psychological influences

We mentioned that although overeating is only a small part of the causes of obesity, it still exists. But in many cases, it can be such a desire to eat for psychological reasons or mental health problems.




Mental health problems such as depression and anxiety go hand in hand with obesity. Either can excite the other, making both problems worse. When people feel sad, angry, anxious, or just tired of life, they often turn to “comfortable” foods. In addition, it will reduce their motivation to get up and move, which will reduce their physical activity. Being overweight makes them feel bad about themselves, making them less interested in what they eat, etc. It’s really a vicious circle.

7 Bedtime Habits That Help You Get Thinner | Number 7 will Shock you 😱😱

What do you think are the best ways to lose weight without trying too hard? Walk every day? Take the stairs instead of the elevator? And why not … sleep?

Believe it or not, your body has the capacity to burn up to 300 to 400 calories each night while you sleep. This will be equal to the number of calories you will lose during the one hour walk! It sounds like the simplest weight loss strategy on the planet! But in order to maximize the number of calories lost and to promote metabolism at night, certain conditions must be taken into account. Read on to find out what seven sleep habits can help you lose weight.

1. Get Chilly

You may already know that your body burns a lot of calories to keep you warm. According to sleep experts, the room temperature around 18 ° C (64.4 ° F) during sleep hours is the ideal atmosphere to boost your metabolism, while ensuring that you are always comfortable. Of course, the less you do, the better! Cooler temperatures activate the beige fat cells in your body responsible for thermoregulation, so sleeping in a cold room or even sleeping naked forces your body to work harder to keep warm.

2. Drink Grape Juice

An ingredient in grape juice, known as resveratrol, is effective in converting bad white body fat into beige fat. Since we already know that beige fats are what your body uses to keep you warm, it is definitely a better alternative for storing excess fat in your body as it will burn for hours of sleep. Therefore, boil this cup of grape juice before bed! But make sure you have a new or sugar free type to cut down on unnecessary calories.

3. Have Fixed Sleeping & Waking Times

Consistency is the key to many things in our lives, and this also applies to our sleep. According to many sleep studies, an irregular sleep schedule can have several negative consequences, including excessive weight gain.

Melatonin is what tells our body that it is time for the night. It also helps activate the beige fat cells responsible for burning calories. With unregulated sleep schedules, melatonin production is hampered, resulting in poor sleep. Not only will you burn a lot of calories at night, but a good mood in the morning can prompt you to use caffeinated drinks, high-calorie foods, processed foods, sugary foods, etc. It is therefore better to fall asleep and wake up every day at the same time!

4. Put the Tech Away

Therefore, we know that melatonin is what helps us sleep. As the way the disorganized sleep schedule slows down with hormone production, it has been shown that excessive blue light from our smart devices has the same effect. This makes sleeping difficult, which reduces the number of hours of sleep.

The best way to work is to ban technology at least two hours before bedtime. If you have to use your tools completely, make sure the blue light filters are on – they are quite effective. Instead, grab a book and let the melatonin do its job!
