Kitchen towels can get dirty quickly. When we use them to wipe off dirty surfaces in the kitchen, bacteria can begin to grow on them and then spread throughout the kitchen when the same towel is used for wiping off other surfaces. Here are four tips for maintaining your kitchen towels:

1. Use different towels for different tasks in the kitchen. Use cotton towels to dry your hands since they are soft and absorbent. Use microfiber towels to polish glass surfaces or wipe down appliances, since they effectively trap grime and dust. Use terrycloth to soak up large spills since the loops in the cloth make them extra absorbent. Using different towels for different tasks will help you prevent cross-contamination.

2. Wash your kitchen towels daily in hot water to kill bacteria.

3. Dry your towels thoroughly, as damp towels can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Refrain from drying towels in high heat in the dryer, as its fibers may become damaged.

4. Replace your towels early, every 6 to 12 months, for optimal performance. Thinning fabric, odor, or lower absorbency are signs that it's time to replace your towels earlier than that.

Where you keep your toothbrush is important. Storing your toothbrush in the right way can help to minimize germ growth and protect your oral health. Follow these four tips to figure out the best location for your toothbrush.

1. Keep your toothbrush in a toothbrush holder so your brush can stand up to air dry completely. A dry environment is less likely to encourage bacterial growth.
2. Be sure to keep toothbrushes away from each other to prevent bacteria and germs from spreading. This will help to protect all who share the space from colds, flus, and other illnesses.
3. Keep your toothbrush away from the toilet. This way, when you flush, bacteria will be less likely to travel and land on your toothbrush.
4. Refrain from keeping your toothbrush by the sink to prevent it from being splashed when you wash your hands.

Bloodshot eyes are generally caused by minor issues such as allergens or environmental irritants. When your eyes encounter allergens or environmental irritants, an immune response is triggered. Your eyes release histamine, which causes the blood vessels in your eyes to become inflamed. Here are four home remedies that might help you find relief:

1. Apply cold compresses on your eyes while they are closed, several times a day. Applying a clean, cold washcloth to your eyes will help your blood vessels constrict.

2. Avoid allergy triggers and irritants. Check the pollen count online and stay indoors on high pollen days. Refrain from spending time in environments with excess smoke, fumes, and dust.

3. Use over-the-counter eye drops or artificial tears. These will help to wash allergens and irritants out of your eyes and relieve irritation.

4. Frequently wash your hands using soap and water to minimize the possibility of them transferring dirt, germs and other irritants to your eyes.

November is COPD awareness month. Check out our new blogpost: Coping with Fatigue in COPD Patients.

What is COPD?
COPD is a group of lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties.

Fatigue in COPD Patients
COPD patients note fatigue as the second most common symptom they are affected by, according to the American Lung Association. Fatigue is not simply "a tired feeling," but a lack of energy that can make completing activities of daily living such as personal grooming, cooking, and doing chores, difficult.

When should I discard frozen food?

When food is properly frozen at below 0°F, most items will be safe to eat for three to twelve months and even beyond. However, foods' flavors and overall quality decline over time. Here are four instances when you should consider tossing your frozen food:

1. When food suffers freezer burn. When food is exposed to the air in the freezer, moisture is lost and turns into ice crystals. Freezer burn dries out your food and takes away from its flavor.

2. When food is discolored. The color of frozen food might change due to loss of moisture or lengthy storage periods. Discolored food might be leathery, tough, lack flavor, and not be worth it to save.

3. When a frozen can is damaged, throw it out. Bulges, cracks, and leaks can indicate spoilage or contamination.

4. After you experience a power outage. If food in the freezer has reached 40 °F for two hours or more, discard it. Bacteria grows quickly between the temperatures of 40°F to 140°F.

Strength training is an excellent way to help you to retain muscle, which will allow you to continue partaking in your daily activities for a long time to come. Additionally, strength training can reduce your risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis by increasing bone density. Here's how to get started:

1. Begin with a warm-up. Warm-ups help to improve your range of motion and stimulate blood flow, reducing your risk of injury. Arm circles, neck circles, leg swings and ankle circles can help you prepare your body for exercise.

2. Start small. Before considering utilizing weights for strength training, start with exercises that use your body weight as resistance. Becoming familiar with body weight exercises will allow you to truly grasp the fundamentals of the exercises you're doing.

3. Start with two strength training sessions each week and give yourself at least one to two days of rest between your sessions. As these workouts gradually get easier for you, you can consider adding another session to your week.

4. During your strength training sessions, explore bodyweight exercises that can help to build strength with minimal strain. Step-ups, leg raises, and calf raises are a few great exercises to start with.

As certain breast cancer treatments contribute to reduced bone density, paying attention to maintaining bone health can be particularly important for breast cancer survivors. There are lifestyle changes you can make to protect your bone health after treatments:

1. Aim to intake 1,000 - 1,200mg of calcium per day, depending on your age. Good sources of calcium include leafy greens, dried beans, calcium-fortified cereals and juice, and dairy.
2. Bone loss can be slowed with weight-bearing exercises. The stress of supporting your body weight triggers cells to build more bone. Consider engaging in 30 minutes of walking, gardening or strength training each day.
3. Refrain from drinking alcohol and smoking. Consuming alcohol and smoking can interfere with bone growth and impair calcium absorption in the body.
4. As consuming excess sodium can increase calcium excretion, limit your sodium intake. When grocery shopping, select low-sodium canned goods such as tuna, soups, and sauces. Flavor meals with lemon juice and herbs instead of salt. Watch out for hidden sodium in breads, processed meats and snacks.

Although dandruff usually begins in young adulthood and lasts through middle age, it can occur at any age. Common causes of dandruff include an oily scalp, stress, and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and cold weather.

1. Use a shampoo that's specially formulated to treat dandruff. Let your hair type inform how often you need to shampoo. For example, if you have an oily scalp, you might need to use dandruff shampoo more often.
2. Manage your stress. Practice mindful meditation, yoga, or deep breathing when you feel stressed. Stress can compromise your immune system, release hormones like cortisol, and contribute to an oily scalp.
3. Low humidity in cold weather can strip your scalp of moisture. This can cause dandruff to flare up. Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air.
4. To manage scalp eczema and scalp psoriasis, be sure to avoid irritants such as hot water, harsh soaps and harsh shampoos.

When you're receiving chemotherapy for cancer, symptoms of dry mouth may be present. Dry mouth may increase your risk of dental caries or mouth sores, since saliva's natural functions are reduced. Here are four tips for managing dry mouth:

1. Refrain from consuming caffeine or alcohol, which can suppress saliva production. Additionally, both are diuretics that promote water loss through urine, causing your body to feel dehydrated. Drink water, tea, or coconut water instead.
2. Stay hydrated by aiming to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day. Incorporate hydrating foods into your diet.
3. Keep your mouth clean. When your mouth lacks saliva, flushing out bacteria and foods is more difficult and this can lead to oral health issues. Be sure to brush your teeth after meals and before bed with a soft toothbrush.
4. When eating, keep water nearby so that you can sip on it between bites to prevent trouble swallowing. Top solid foods with liquids so they are easier to consume. Top proteins with broths, top fruits with yogurt, or top carbohydrates with healthy blended soups.

As temperatures cool down, now is the time to spend some time in nature! There are many benefits to enjoying natural environments:

1. When you spend time under the sun, your body produces its own vitamin D. Vitamin D enables our bodies to absorb calcium and keep our bones healthy.
2. Exposing yourself to natural light promotes better nighttime sleep. It helps align your internal clock with the light and dark cycle of your external environment.
3. Being in green spaces is linked to improved mental health. Cortisol levels, blood pressure, and heart rates are lower in these spaces than in urban environments.
4. Nature inspires creativity. Nature soothes the mind but captures your attention with natural stimuli such as sounds and sights that can give you new perspectives.

The porous structure of kitchen sponges can trap moisture and even food particles, making them an oasis for bacterial growth. As such, sponges should be cleaned after every use. Here are four easy ways to clean your kitchen sponge:

1. Submerge your sponge in a small bowl of white vinegar for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove your sponge, rinse it with hot water, wring out the water, and let it air dry before your next use.

2. Bring one cup of water to a boil and fully immerse your sponge in the water. After your sponge boils for about 5 minutes, move your pot away from heat and let both the water and the sponge cool. Then, remove your sponge, wring out the water, and let it air dry.

3. Use water to rinse your sponge and put it on a microwave-safe plate with the water still on the sponge. For 90 seconds, microwave your sponge on high. Carefully remove the hot plate and allow the sponge to cool. Wring out the water and let it air dry.

4. Alternatively, you can wash your sponge in the top rack of your dishwasher. Be sure to run your dishwasher on the longest cycle and use the highest heat dry setting.
