Summer is just round the bend. (a health PSA)

What a week this has been with temps at the beginnng of the week at 80 plus degrees then needing the heater for a day. Now it's hot and raining with storm warnings and high winds. It's the reminder that we're in for that hot sticky weather really soon.

I wanted to take this time to remind folks about a little known fact. Sports drinks are HORRIBLE for children and adult teeth due to carbination. They're just as bad as soda for eating away at the enamel. Regardless of sugar content they really aren't healthier. The best way to stay hydrated in this hot weather is plain ole' water. Yeah, it doesn't taste as good but it works. The other thing you can do is water down kool aid and don't add the recommended amounts of sugar.

Another thing to remember is that just because it's warm doesn't mean people won't get sick. Viruses are HUGE this time of year because people aren't protecting themselves as much. Keep the vitamin C and zinc around and do what you can to keep yourself healthy...Oh, and don't forget to take probiotics occasionally throughout the week. If you can keep things flowing through your digestive tract to keep yourself healthy (especially when swimming in public places).

Okay with that whole PSA out of the way something on a different front. My Sister-In-Law has access to raw milk and has offered to give some to us if it will digest properly within my sweet little boy's system. He's had some now and in a couple of days we'll see how things are. I am keeping my fingers crossed because I am not fond of soy and it's phytoestrogens. I know there are other alternatives but it's tough because they're more expensive.
