I recently received Kefir from my brother and his wife who has been taking it for over a month.He wanted the rest of the family to try it, too. Why would he want us to try it?
Water Kefir (what I received) looks like a crystal with a jelly-like texture. I was told that it is good to drink it’s water or eat it as is. I tried some Kefir grains, and it was tasteless. Kefir is a bacteria that eats sugar, and is good to have after consuming high sugar foods.
I had to do some research, and found out that Kefir was recommended in the 17 Day Diet, which has been widely received by millions of people. So, It must be good.Read more...

Asthma Season
Yes it is. I have asthma and it is usually pretty good during the rest of the year. Unfortunately, now it is springtime, everything is affecting me. Any type of perfume or smell that is strong really affects me. I have to cover my nose. Cannot be around if someone is mowing the lawn or spraying fertilizer or weed killer outside. Once I start coughing, it continues on until I can take a deep breath, and grab my inhaler. I especially have a hard time breathing at night.
Did you know that the bedroom is the best place to put an Air Filtration System (a.k.a. air purifier)? It is due to the amount of dead skin cells we shed, and the close proximity to mold and mildew from the bathroom.
We only have one, HEPA Air Filtration System – it is usually in the family room. Now I bring it in the bedroom at night. It really helps. I hope that someday I could have more than one so that I don’t have to bring it back to the family room during the day.
We have two indoor cats, and one indoor dog. It’s hard to believe I am allergic to cats. I think I must be getting immune to them. I use to sneeze all the time. The filtration system definitely helps. I can’t help being around them. The good thing- none of the animals are allowed in my bedroom.
If you only have one filtration system, be sure to start it up at least an hour before retiring. I needed the air cleaned out or I could not sleep.(FYI: We do not have Central Air Conditioning in our home. Your indoor air may not be as bad as ours, and turning on the A.C. may be all you need to cleanse the air.)
Want to feel better? Eating Soup has also helped me a lot. I love the warm goodness going down my throat. Today I had another bowl of homemade Turkey Soup, yes, I made it myself. Roasted the turkey in my NuWave Oven and made the leftovers into soup. I love meals that can be made over. I have grown to love garlic and onions, and use them in many of my recipes. Garlic and onions help to protect against cardiovascular disease, respiratory concerns, diabetes, and a variety of cancers.
