For the millions of Americans living with bipolar disorder, a manic (high) or depressive (low) episode may occur at any time and the holidays can be a time to focus on themselves and managing the condition going into the New Year. People living with bipolar disorder, a lifelong condition, may experience extreme changes in mood, thought, and behavior. Their mood may alternate between episodes of mania and depression. What's important to know, particularly given that nearly half of U.S. adults will develop a mental illness during their lifetime, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is that talking with a health care professional can help a person living with the condition find appropriate medication, therapy, and support groups. The hustle and bustle of the season may make it difficult to stay on track and follow through with refilling necessary prescriptions, making appointments, and taking time out to relax. During busy times like the holiday season, people with bipolar disorder should be sure to take time to focus on themselves and the importance of managing their condition. "I've seen firsthand how dealing with the holidays can have a negative impact on mental health, and it doesn't have to be that way for those suffering from bipolar disorder," says Dr Lisa Perdue, director of the Intensive Behavioral Service at Terrell State Hospital in Terrell, Texas. "There is a lot of pressure to make every holiday season the biggest or the best. People with bipolar disorder need to make their health a priority. That can mean saying "no" in order to stay on track with doctor's appointments, or skipping a party to relax and enjoy 'me' time." People living with bipolar disorder should talk to their doctor to get an accurate diagnosis and develop an appropriate treatment plan. TakeonDepression.com, a site sponsored by AstraZeneca, contains helpful resources to support, educate, and inspire those affected by bipolar disorder, and to encourage them to have an open, honest conversation with their doctor. In addition to information, the site offers tools such as a mood- tracking diary to help recognize symptoms, manage a treatment plan, and have more productive conversations with a doctor. It also features inspiring true stories from people on how they successfully manage their symptoms. For more information about bipolar disorder and helpful resources, visit www.TakeonDepression.com. Dr Lisa Perdue was compensated as a spokesperson by AstraZeneca. ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Recipe ------------------------------------------------------------ Low-Fat Blueberry Bran Muffins Ingredients 1 1/2 cups wheat bran 1 cup nonfat milk 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 egg 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup blueberries Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Click the link to learn the Truth: <a href="http://tiny.cc/nwx90">http://tiny.cc/nwx90</a> ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Article ------------------------------------------------------------ Simple safety advice to protect young children in the home (ARA) - When your child skins her knee or bumps her head, how do you comfort her? With a kiss and a hug? No matter how loving and careful you are, it's impossible to shield your children from all of life's little injuries. Parents often think their children are safest in their own home. Sadly, every year home accidents send thousands of children to the emergency room, many with serious injuries. But by taking some important precautions, such as replacing traditional blinds with cordless, motorized versions, you can help ensure your child avoids serious home accidents. Here are some safety tips that can help parents keep children safe at home: Choking and strangulation prevention Choking and strangulation can be significant hazards in the home. You can minimize choking risks by making sure small children are served age-appropriate foods cut into smaller -than-bite-sized pieces. Never give foods that are choking hazards, such as hot dogs, nuts or raw carrots, to infants. Always stay with your small child while he is eating, so that you can quickly respond if he does run into trouble. Window treatments with cords are among the biggest home safety hazards for children. Since 1990, more than 200 infants and young children have accidentally strangled on window treatment cords, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The dangling cords are attractive to children, who may become entangled in them. Consider replacing traditional corded shades with motorized shades. These blinds and shades, powered by manufacturers like Somfy Systems, eliminate cord risks because they are controlled by a motor and remote control or wall switch. Motorization also offers many other benefits, from convenience to energy savings, that make them a good choice when you're making your home child-friendly. Falls Falling down is part of growing up, and hopefully your little one will suffer nothing more than a few scrapes and bumps. More serious falls, however, can be a significant risk to children's safety. And children falling down are not the only danger; parents need to take precautions to prevent furniture and home items from falling on children. Keep stairs and floors clear of toys or other objects that could cause someone to trip. Secure stairs with safety gates at the top and bottom of the staircase. Windows should have safety guards and remain locked when not open. Never leave a child alone in a room with an open window, even if the window has a screen on it. A small child's weight can be enough to pop a screen out of a window and expose a child to a potentially fatal fall. To help ensure your child's falls are minor, minimize situations that could lead to trouble, such as attractive toys placed atop furniture that could tip over when a child climbs up to get the toy. Move furniture away from windows and secure items to the wall with anchor straps. If you have a flat screen in your home, consider wall-mounting it for safety. You can't protect your children from all life's bumps and scrapes. A few precautions, however, can help ensure that all their accidents are the kind you can heal with a kiss and a hug. ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Recipe ------------------------------------------------------------ Good-Morning Banana Nut Cereal Ingredients 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup skim milk 1 tablespoon quinoa 1/2 small banana, sliced 1 1/2 tablespoons rolled oats 1 tablespoon oat bran 1 pinch salt 1 pinch ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Stir the water, milk, and quinoa together in a saucepan; bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, or until the quinoa begins to soften. Stir in the banana, rolled oats, oat bran, salt, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring frequently over low heat for 2 to 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the walnuts, brown sugar, and vanilla.

Allergy symptoms can flare up year-round, even during the height of cold and flu season. Just as cold and flu season doesn't stop when winter ends, allergies don't necessarily disappear just because summer is over. Taking care of your sinuses year-round can help you feel better whatever the season. "Sinus health is the foundation for good respiratory health," says Mike Tringale, vice president at the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). "And we are increasingly finding that relieving nasal congestion makes a huge impact on the quality of life for people of all ages." AAFA offers some tips for reducing sinus symptoms, whether they're caused by allergies, a cold or the flu: To reduce your chance of catching a cold, avoid touching your face or nose. Wash your hands with hot water and soap regularly, especially after being in public places like stores, transit stations, schools or offices. To clear out nasal congestion, consider naturally derived saline moisturizers, available at most retailers, year-round. Drug-free and preservative-free options like Arm & Hammer Simply Saline can be used as frequently as needed because it's made of purified water and sodium chloride. Talk to your doctor about getting a flu shot each year to try to avoid getting the flu. However, if you feel flu-like symptoms, talk to your doctor within the first few days to get medications that will reduce the severity. Manage your seasonal allergies by reading daily pollen counts and limiting your outdoor exposure on high-pollen days, and keep windows and doors closed during the morning hours before noon, when pollen tends to be most prevalent in the air. You can also log on to www.SimplySaline.com, the website of Arm & Hammer Simply Saline, for more information and allergy-management advice. ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Recipe ------------------------------------------------------------ Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free) Ingredients 3/4 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract 1/4 cup egg substitute 2 1/4 cups gluten-free baking mix 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F ( 190 degrees C).

Lose Weight the Healthy Way

Stop Dieting, Start Eating, and Start Living! <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5tbzl39">http://tinyurl.com/5tbzl39</a> ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Article ------------------------------------------------------------ Top tips for keeping skin healthy and beautiful all winter long (ARA) - No matter where you live in the country, winter's grip can take its toll on your health, including your mood, waistline and even your skin. "It's important to consider the seasons in your skin care routine and make adjustments for the best possible results," says Dr. Gervaise Gerstner, a board-certified dermatologist and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai. Gerstner's advice has appeared in the pages of Allure, Harper's Bazaar, Self and W magazines. "Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and the first line of protection for all the other organs. Sunlight, changes in weather, and seasonal stress can affect our skin's health. They're also factors that make us overlook proper care, so it's critical you have the right routine in place." Gerstner offers her top tips for keeping skin beautiful and healthy this winter, and all year long: 1. Keep your hands off. Your hands can pick up a lot of germs and bacteria during the day that can cause breakouts or even infections, so keep them far away from your face. Also, since inter is often associated with irritating flareups of pimples, rashes and cold sores, it's important to avoid the urge to pick. Picking can cause inflammation, and with broken or raw skin, further put you at risk for infection, and even cause scarring. 2. Slather on sunscreen. "Even on days it rains or snows, it's important to wear sunscreen," Gerstner advises. Your skin is constantly exposed to potentially harmful UVA and UVB rays. Even just walking from your office to the coffee shop on the grayest of days exposes you to possible solar damage, such as rinkles and even skin cancer. 3. Treat ailments quickly. Common conditions like cold sores can be embarrassing and painful, so treat them right away to find relief. Remedies found at your local drugstore can be effective, and Dr. Gerstner recommends Nexcare Cold Sore Treatment from 3M. It contains Microvex to soothe and moisturize, and active ingredients benzocaine to help relieve pain and allantoin for added lip protection. Log on to www.nexcarecoldsore.com to learn more. 4. Don't forget your nails and hair. They're part of your skin too, and often show the most obvious signs of winter's impact like raw skin and split ends. It's important to properly moisturize, such as using a leave-in or deep conditioner, or heavier creams on your face and hands. Dr. Gerstner also says that hair loss and brittle nails are two of the most common complaints she hears from her female patients. Taking a daily biotin supplement of 5,000 mcg can help. Limit use of a flat iron to once or twice a week, and avoid excessive hair coloring treatments. 5. Brighten your smile, and use it often. Winter's weather woes and seasonal stress can make it easy to forget to smile, but nothing makes your face look better than a big grin. Keep your teeth well polished - whitening strips can help - and flash your smile frequently. It can brighten your mood and the moods of others around you. 6. Quit smoking and moderate alcohol use. By now, virtually everyone knows smoking is deadly. But if the health threats of smoking don't convince you to quit, perhaps an appeal to your vanity will help. Smokers suffer more wrinkles, poorer skin texture and slower wound healing than people who don't smoke. Alcohol too can dehydrate your body - which often shows the next day in parched skin and eyes. It also exacerbates adult acne, called rosacea. When drinking alcohol, alternate with a glass of seltzer. 7. Forego designer brands. Expensive creams leave your wallet lighter and don't necessarily make your skin look any better than less costly products do. Simple drug store products can work just as well, especially if supplemented with a retinol or glycolic recommendation from your dermatologist. Fancy ducts often contain essential oils or fragrances which can irritate skin. ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Recipe ------------------------------------------------------------ Lower Fat Creamy Broccoli Soup Prep: 15 min, Cook: 25 min. 1-1/2 cups broccoli florets 1/4 cup celery, diced 1/4 cup onion, chopped 1 cup low sodium chicken broth 2 cups nonfat milk 2 Tbs. cornstarch 1/8 tsp. ground thyme 1/4 cup fat-free Swiss cheese, grated Place first 4 ingredients in a heavy pan over medium high heat.

"I couldn't believe that no one stepped in - that it took a 17-year- old kid to be the one to take action," says Rossi, who had been trained in CPR just six months earlier at her high school. Rossi's story illustrates a huge obstacle to overcoming the dismal survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest: lack of bystander action. Less than 8 percent of victims who suffer cardiac arrest at home, at work or in other public places survive. And fewer than one-third of cardiac arrest victims gets CPR from a bystander. "Getting people to act when someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest is critical to the victim's survival," says Michael Sayre, M.D., chairman of the American Heart Association's Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee. "Time is not on the victim's side. Four to six minutes is the window of opportunity for someone to act before it is too late." The American Heart Association wants more people to take action and help cardiac arrest victims. The association is helping create the next generation of lifesavers at Bethebeat.heart.org, where teens can learn the basic skills of CPR and how to use an AED. "Teens can learn how to save lives and play an important role by setting an example for their friends, families and neighbors about the need for CPR and AED training," Sayre says. "They can also encourage the adults in their lives to learn learn CPR." Be the Beat features games, educational videos and interactive quizzes. Songs with 100 beats per minute (the correct rate for chest compressions when administering CPR) are also available on the website. And the association recently simplified the steps of CPR with Hands- Only CPR. When a teen or an adult suddenly collapses, there are two easy steps: (1) Call 9-1-1; and (2) Push hard and fast on the center of the chest until professional help or an AED arrives. Getting formal CPR training is also easier than ever. Visit americanheart.org/CPR to find a class in your neck of the woods, or order a self-directed CPR training kit at cpranytime.org to learn at your own pace. The American Heart Association wants 1 million people, including teens, to learn about CPR during CPR Week June 1-7. Learn more at www.cprweek.org. "Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at anytime," Rossi says. "It happens all the time. You never know when you'll need to use CPR."

Let me show you how and save money while you are doing it. START TODAY <a href="http://www.loseweightnow.com/jbenjamin">http://www.loseweightnow.com/jbenjamin</a> ------------------------------------------------------------ Featured Article ------------------------------------------------------------ Beat the heat: Tips for keeping your family safe and healthy this summer (ARA) - The smell of the barbecue grill, the sounds of children playing and the feel of warm sun on the skin are all signs of summer. With increased outdoor activities, there also comes a list of precautions you should take to keep your family safe and healthy. "We know women are usually the caretakers of the family," says Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill, a registered nurse and executive director of HealthyWomen. "Summer brings lots of great opportunities for family fun, but also requires some special planning to keep kids and adults safe and healthy in the sun and heat." Limit sun exposure Because exposure to the sun causes most of the skin changes associated with aging, protecting the skin from the sun is the single most important skin care practice you can adopt and impart to your children. Significant exposure to the sun will wrinkle and dry the skin. Uneven pigmentation - from freckles to small or large brown spots - is another side effect of frequent sunning. The most serious consequence of sun exposure is skin cancer. Most sun damage occurs before age 18, but skin cancer can take up to 20 or more years to develop. Children who experience just a few serious sunburns are believed to have an increased risk of developing skin cancer later in life. Protect children by applying sunscreen at least an hour before heading outside and frequently reapplying sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Also have them play in the shade and wear protective clothing. Babies younger than 6 months should never be in direct sunlight and should always wear a hat and clothing that protects them from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Keep an eye on your vision health Wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat when you're in the sun. These two simple steps can reduce your exposure to eye-damaging UV rays up to 18-fold. And, if you wear contacts, ask your eye care specialist about contact lenses with UV protection. Don't forget your children and their eyes. If you are going to be in the sun, make sure your children are wearing hats that provide coverage. Use your stroller hood when out for a walk and pay attention to the sun's direction. When out for a walk with your stroller, try to walk so that the sun hits your back. You may also want to consider purchasing children's sunglasses. Practice water safety Before you start splashing, remember safety first. Take the time to enroll your kids in swim instruction classes, and teach your children to take precautions before diving into the water. Make sure to read the safety and warning labels on all children's toys, inner tubes and water wings so that you understand their safety capabilities. And remember to reapply sunscreen every few hours after being in the water. Avoid foods exposed to excess heat During the summer months, many people enjoy going for a picnic. Before packing your basket this summer, think about how long your food will be exposed to the outdoors. Avoid packing meat, dairy and egg products that may spoil if not kept cold. If you decide to bring these types of food products, pack them separate from each other in a cooler, and keep the ice in a sealed container to avoid a soggy sandwich. Stay hydrated Increase fluid intake as appropriate based on the weather. High temperatures or humidity outside, heated indoor air and high altitudes all cause you to need more fluids. When exercising, drink one cup of fluids every 15 minutes, advises Dr. Werner W.K. Hoeger, a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Boise State University. Add more for big events. If you're going to be in a race or charity walk, make sure you drink enough to be well hydrated the day before, Hoeger adds. Also, drink a glass of fluid, such as water or a sports drink, an hour before the event. Watch out for overheating in vehicles Even on a relatively mild day, the temperature inside your vehicle can quickly escalate. These temperatures can put both children and pets at risk for heat stroke, dehydration and even death. Never leave your child or pet unattended inside your car, even to run a quick errand.

Just about anyone, regardless of age or physical condition, can gain health benefits from swimming. Swimming as a regular form of exercise can cut males' risk of death by 50 percent as compared to runners, walkers and those with a sedentary lifestyle, according to a recent study by Dr. Steven N. Blair of the Arnold School for Public Health at the University of South Carolina. Blair found similar health and fitness benefits in an earlier study for women as well. Regular laps in the pool can help tone the muscles in your entire body, lower blood pressure, increase circulation and raise metabolism and endurance. Because humans weigh less in the water, people who can't participate in other forms of exercise because of injuries or excess weight can swim safely. And swimming is a fun and interesting workout that keeps people coming back for more. And, after a long session in the pool, or a long day at work, what could be better than time spent relaxing in a hot tub? The steamy, swirling waters of a hot tub provide a great place to loosen up and even to socialize, but can also lower your blood pressure and decrease joint pain and swelling. Additionally, the combination of heat, buoyancy and massage in a hot tub can provide therapeutic benefits for those with arthritis, diabetes, insomnia and more. A recent study supervised by the Foundation for Physical Therapy and funded in part by the Hot Tub Council of the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals found significant recuperative benefits for knee replacement patients who performed their physical therapy in warm water. When you make an investment in a home pool or hot tub, you're not only potentially increasing the value of your home and making your house the most popular on the block, you're increasing the length and quality of your life.

Italian sausage * 2 metal skewers Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). (If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When Charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds; Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds; Low: 5 to 6 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.) Toss peppers and onion with 1/3 of the oil. Grill on lightly oiled grill sheet set directly on perforated grill sheet, with grill covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and charred, 9 to 15 minutes (onion will cook faster), transferring to a bowl as cooked. Add vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and remaining oil to peppers and onion, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. While vegetables stand, run skewers crisscrossed horizontally through sausage coil, securing ends. Grill directly over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas) on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes total. (Thicker sausage may take longer.) Transfer vegetables to a platter and top with sausage.

Smart Tips for Healthy Eating

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 22:23:00 GMT

It can seem hard to make healthy food choices, particularly if you are on a budget and short on time. But there are some simple steps you can take to help you and your family eat healthier. Build a Healthier Plate Use a grocery list when shopping for food to help you choose more fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Buy leaner meats (such as chicken, turkey, and lean cuts of pork or beef such as sirloin or chuck roast) and lower fat dairy products like low-fat or non-fat (skim) milk and yogurt. Buy whole grain breads and cereals. Save money by buying less soda, sweets and chips or other snack foods. Remember that special "dietetic" or "diabetic" foods often cost extra money and may not be much healthier than simply following the suggestions given here. Also, watch the size of your portions. You may find that you are used to eating portions that count as two or more servings. It helps to be able to "eyeball" portion sizes. Here are some guides: Meat, fish, and poultry: 3 ounces, or about the size of the palm of your hand or a deck of cards. Cheese: 1 ounce, or about the size of your thumb. Fresh vegetables, milk and yogurt: 1 cup, or about the size of a tennis ball. Bread: one slice. Easy Ways to Make Smart Food Choices There are lots of ways you can make smart choices about your own and your family's eating habits. According to Ann Albright, PhD, RD, president, Health Care and Education of the American Diabetes Association, "One of the most important things you can do to start eating more healthfully is to pick one or two not-so great items you eat frequently and find a more nutritious substitution for those. If you start with foods you eat more frequently, then the change will pack a bigger punch." Shop Smart Set aside some time to plan your weekly meals. It may seem like a hassle at first, but having a plan (and writing your grocery list with it in mind) can save you time, stress, and a lot of extra trips to the store. Stock your pantry with plenty of healthy basics, including brown rice, whole grain pasta, crackers and cereals. Remember that fresh fruits and vegetables are usually healthier than canned or frozen, but it is better to have canned or frozen fruits or vegetables than none at all! When you run out, put the items on your grocery list so you'll always have them on hand. Shop only from your grocery list. Avoid aisles that contain foods high in calories but low in vitamins and minerals such as candy, cookies, chips and sodas. Also avoid buying items promoted at the front of the store, on the "end-cap" displays at the end of each aisle, or at the cash register. These foods are usually low in nutrition. Never shop when you are hungry and might be tempted by less healthy food. Eat Smart Keep fruits and vegetables washed and cut up for easy snacking and steaming. Canned and frozen vegetables and fruits are healthful, quick and convenient. To cut down on the sodium in vegetables, drain and rinse canned vegetables with water before heating them You can do the same to cut down on the added sugar in canned fruits. Better yet, buy them packed in juice. Learn how to "Create Your Plate." When serving a meal, draw an imaginary line down the middle of your plate and another one across. Fill half of your plate with leafy greens and other vegetables. Fill one quarter with grains, like whole grain bread or pasta or brown rice. Then fill the last quarter with lean protein such as chicken or fish. Start meals with a salad or a broth or tomato-based soup with lots of vegetables. This helps you eat more good-for- you veggies while filling you up before you get to the higher fat and calorie courses. Make healthy snack foods easy to find in your kitchen. For example, when you get home from work or school, put some fresh carrots, grapes, or pretzels out on the counter instead of having bags of chips out. In restaurants, ask if meats can be grilled rather than fried, and request sauces and dressings on the side. Remember to choose fruit, salad, or other vegetables as side items, rather than French fries. Order a salad or soup to start and then share an entrée. Save money, and lots of calories, by skipping dessert. Learn more about healthy eating and how it can help lower your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

With the many items each family member uses daily, it's hard to keep this area clean and clutter-free. Update your medicine cabinet by opting for all-in-one products that save time and shelf space. Also, consider these tips for simplifying your medicine cabinet. Stay Healthy: Remembering to take a variety of different vitamins every day can be difficult. Swap out numerous bottles for one multi-vitamin that meets all of your daily nutritional needs. Also, consider moving vitamins to a different location, such as a kitchen cabinet, that you visit each morning. Don't Compromise: Having to compromise when it comes to your smile is a thing of the past. New Crest Pro-Health Whitening toothpaste combines both health and beauty benefits. It protects all these areas dentists check most: fights cavities, tartar, sensitivity, plaque and gingivitis; whitens; and protects against bad breath. It reduces unhealthy buildup and up to 80 percent of surface-level stains for naturally whiter teeth in just six weeks. Be Prepared: While space may not allow for a complete first aid kit, be sure to have the necessities on hand in case of an emergency. Help prevent infection and promote healing of common injuries by getting rid of that never-used antibacterial spray and choosing bandages that contain antibacterial ointment. Each month, perform a quick inventory of necessities to ensure the medicine cabinet remains well stocked with basics, like aspirin and cotton swabs, but also use this time to reorganize shelves. Beautify: Dispose of last season's makeup and update your look with products that can be used year-round. Replace multiple shades of lipstick and blush with a timeless, versatile shade that can be used on both cheeks and lips. Additionally, consider upgrading a basic facial moisturizer to one that also includes SPF for skin that is both nourished and shielded from damaging UVA and UVB rays each day. Simplifying even a small portion of your day makes a big difference. Making these minor but effective changes to your medicine cabinet will simplify everyone's daily routine and keep you feeling healthy and looking great.
