Help for those New Year's hangovers

You did it! You made it through 2015 and are ready to ring in the new year. You may have just experienced the best year ever or you may be glad to see it go. Either way, you probably will join billions of people around the world who will be celebrating into the wee hours of the morning.

Whether you are having a party, going to a big hotel bash, or visiting family and friends, it is easy to overdo new years. You get caught up in the party atmosphere and kissing your loved one at midnight. There's cocktails throughout the evening capped off by a champagne toast when the ball drops. You forget all about the consequences of this....until the next morning.

You wake up to a headache, an upset stomach, cotton mouth, and an overall feeling of the flu....the brown bottle flu. It's called a hangover and you probably remember it from your carefree college days. The kids need breakfast and there are football games to watch so what to you do.

The experts at Labdoor.com have put together a handy guide to the myths and facts about handling that holiday hangover. Does "hair of the dog" really work, what about those herbal "hangover pills", should you take ibuprofen or acetaminophen, is a greasy burger the best breakfast choice? All of the myths and facts are debunked in an article I recently published based on Labdoor.com's report. You don't want to start celebrating without reading it.

Moderation is always the best choice for bringing in the new year happy and healthy but if you get caught up in the celebration don't beat yourself up too much. With the expert advice from Labdoor.com and some time you will back on track with your healthy lifestyle in no time at all.

Happy New Year! I'm continuing our quest to be happy and healthy in 2016!

Reposted from Examiner.com (October, 2011) Diagnosed with cancer in 2004, I have seen many heroes.  I have witnessed those who save lives, those who fight to save their own lives, and those who inspire others to live life to the fullest despite adversity.  I have also found that through tragedy and struggle the greatest triumphs can be found.  In every small town, every soccer Mom suburb, and in every bustling city quiet heroes live amongst us.  They are our hometown heroes.  They don’t wear capes, they live a low key life, and their super powers aren’t like those written in comic books but each and every day they save lives, change lives and inspire others to do the same. The powers these hometown heroes have are often fueled by their passion and their ability to overcome adversity.  They take the good, the bad, and evil and turn it into something inspiring.  Often times they don’t even realize they are doing it.  They blend into the city streets, the soccer fields, and the

Tip Tuesday....What are your kids really eating at school?

I'm going to start out this blog post by just being real. I am the kid this post is about, well I was. True confession time, when I was 10 years old my Mom was going through my dresser drawers. It wasn't the first time she would find something shocking and it certainly wouldn't be the last much to her dismay. I was a very obedient child at least I thought I was, but every now and then just like every other child I went rogue. Having a dresser drawer full of weeks old uneaten peanut butter and jelly sandwiches s defiantly on the rebel side. Boy was my Mom mad! So now you're wondering why was my dresser drawer full of uneaten peanut butter and jelly sandwiches wrapped in cellophane and still neatly packed in their brown paper sacks? I didn't want to eat them, duh! Hindsight is of course 20/20 vision and even as an adult I cannot stand a plain old sandwich. I would rather starve. But in the seventies and early eighties a sack lunch full of ham and cheese or peanut bu
