But darling it’s cold outside!

Although it’s cold outside and your school is possibly closed you need to stay in warm! Have you ever heard of the term hypothermia? Hypothermia is defined as a medical condition when your body temperature drops dangerously low, your body cannot fully function under these conditions and eventually leads to death if you’re still in these cold conditions. Hypothermia can start off as mild and can increase to severe. To avoid the risk of getting Hypothermia and frostbite is to stay warm. A couple of ways to stay warm are to dress in layers, layers of clothes that is and when you get warm you can just take off a layer. Another way to stay warm is to keep warm the most sensitive parts of your body, meaning that heat escapes from these parts of your body; like your ears, your fingers and toes, and keeping your head warm. One other way to stay warm during the cold it is drink warm beverages and hot meals, it’s easier for you to lose your body’s water because you are breathing hard and heavier. Pay attention to your body language when outside, it’s usually trying to tell you something!

My Shiny Teeth and Me

 

 

Do you have a pearly white smile? No? Are you brushing three times a day, flossing and using mouthwash and still no progress? Well maybe it’s not your brushing routine, it could be the foods that you eat! Some foods are so acidic and full of sugar (yes lots of sugar can damage your teeth) that they tear the enamel from your teeth when you eat them frequently. To get rid most of  the acids and sugars on your teeth, you can drink water, you can cut down on eating these acidic beverages, foods, and don’t brush right after you eat, it is ironically not helpful. Some foods that are bad for those munchers we need are: Apples, Pineapples, Hard Candies, Bread, PB&J, Diet soda and etc. Some of the daily foods that we eat aren’t as healthy as we thought, to read more refer to this article.
