Healthy Living

As we listen to the news and hear about all the things that are being
added to our foods, the status of our health care system, and the overall overweight problem in America, it is easy to get discouraged. Here are a few ways that we can protect ourselves and stay healthy.

1. Health Grades grades hospitals, doctors and nursing homes so that you are aware of the level of care that they offer. You can also find out what their statistics are in terms of mistakes and services offered.

2. Kids Health is a great site to have your child play as they learn about their bodies, ways to stay healthy, and, maybe, even come up with a fantastic science project for school. (Oh, parents, the site is fun for us too..yes, I dabbled!)

3. Keep Kids Healthy is a site by pediatricians for parents who want to know how to keep their children healthy, both physically and mentally. It also lets you know which medications are/are not safe for your children.

4. Hospital Web USA will help you locate a hospital in any State in the U.S. They also have some information on hospitals abroad. Great for you family travellers out there.

5. If you are breastfeeding when you travel, then this will be a great page for you to read. Learn how to store breast milk safely while in the air.

6.The Travel Doctor is a site that
offers information on travel innoculations and the latest travel alerts for countries around the world. Great for the international traveller.


Have a healthy, wealthy 2006!
