Detergent Choices for the Modern Cloth Diaper

February 21, 2012  | Posted in Health/Nutrition/Fitness |  5 Comment(s)  |   Share Article |

 
Many of the modern diapers such as pocket diapers, all-in-one diapers and some fitted diapers are designed with a synthetic stay-dry fabric for their inner layer. These synthetic fabrics are more sensitive to detergent buildup than standard fitted diapers or prefold diapers.   

Your choice of laundry detergent will determine not only how easy it is to care for your diapers but how well your diapers will perform. The best detergents for the modern cloth diapers need to rinse completely clean out of your diapers leaving no residues or fabric enhancers behind.

The Sweet Culprit Behind Tooth Decay

January 25, 2012  | Posted in Health/Nutrition/Fitness |  Post a comment  |   Share Article |

 
Did you know that until the early 1900s, cavities were almost non-existent in the USA? People still lost teeth, but mostly because of gum disease, not tooth decay. The reason is simple…up until that time in history, Americans consumed very little sugar unless they had a dessert with their meal. Then Coca Cola, Hershey’s candy and other sweet treats entered the picture and sugar, which is a major contributing factor to tooth decay, became more prevalent in the average American’s diet.

The Benefits of Green Tea are Best when Combined with Other Nutrients

January 04, 2012  | Posted in Health/Nutrition/Fitness |  1 Comment(s)  |   Share Article |

 
As far as supplements go, the benefits of green tea extracts may be numerous. However, drinking the tea, especially the bottled varieties, is not the best way to get the benefit. 
 
The beneficial compounds found in the teas are called catechins. There are several different catechins, all of which have antioxidant activity in the human body. Unlike other common antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E that are found in a variety of different fruits and vegetables, catechins are only found in the camellia sinensis plant (used to make black and green teas), some cocoa plants and some types of chocolate. So, the sources are limited.
