Carefree Kid’s Health: Guard Against Chapped Skin

May 17th, 2012 by golftrainer

Carefree Kids Health Guard Against Chapped Skin

When it comes to your Carefree child’s health, you might first think of their diet. While putting vitamins and minerals inside your child’s body is important, you also need to pay attention to what is going on on the outside. I’m talking about your child’s skin.

The skin is our body’s largest organ and when skin’s smoothness is disrupted, small cracks and openings can create an entryway for bacteria and germs.

Active Carefree kids don’t often think of the condition of their skin until it starts hurting. Playing outside in hot, cold, or dry weather can lead to small cracks around knuckles or nails. This painful condition is called dermatitis, or extreme dryness. Temperature extremes in Carefree make it harder to keep skin moist and healthy – dry, chapped and cracked skin is common in summer and winter.

Many kids lick their lips until they turn red or bleed. Reminding your child to drink plenty of water can prevent over-dryness.  Using a humidifier during the night in your child’s bedroom can also help.

Make sure you leave moisturizing lip balm in handy locations: by their bed, the front door and in the car so reapplying it becomes habit. Remind them to slick some over their cuticles as well, to prevent cracking.

Phoenix dermatologists suggest a using a daily skin moisturizer that contains shea butter and aloe to draw moisture into the skin and keep it in place.

Encourage Phoenix kids to use waterproof gloves when playing outside in the cold. Lightweight gloves with grips added to the palms are great for playing ball and riding bikes. In addition to protecting skin from dryness, they keep small hands from slipping. You can pick these up at Arizona sporting good stores or Phoenix big box stores.

Using a non-drying sanitizer is another way to prevent bacteria from entering through the skin. Look for brands that are alcohol-free to prevent excessive dryness.

A Healthy Toothbrush For Cave Creek Kids

May 11th, 2012 by golftrainer

A Healthy Toothbrush For Cave Creek Kids

As a parent of active Cave Creek children, I’m sure you’re always on the lookout for places where germs lurk, and you probably know that toothbrushes have the potential to grow a lot of bacteria. However, there are some simple rules you can follow in your Scottsdale area home to keep your child’s toothbrush (and your kid’s mouth) as healthy as possible.

One of the best ways to limit bacterial growth on a toothbrush is to allow it to dry completely between uses. This is best done by storing the toothbrush in a toothbrush holder on the counter, not tucked away in a drawer where air flow is limited.

A toothbrush holder is superior to a cup because it’s important that neighboring toothbrushes don’t touch and share germs.

Air drying toothbrushes is easy when you purchase two for each child at your nearest Scottsdale drugstore. Teach your kids to alternate between the two so they each have more time to dry out all the way.

Toothbrushes should be replaced every three to four months, mainly because normal wear and tear will make them less effective at cleaning teeth. But, regardless of the age of the toothbrush, replace it after your child has a cold or other illness.

If you have any other questions about your child’s oral health, ask your Cave Creek dentist, or speak to your pediatrician next time you take your child in for immunizations in Cave Creek.

I’m Mike Pedersen and children’s health is very important to me. I am the owner of a terrific Cave Creek home business that sells a nutritional chocolate product. If you are interested in learning more, visit my website at http://www.healthychocolatebiz.net or give me a call at 480-209-3737.

Low Risk Scottsdale Home Business

May 8th, 2012 by golftrainer

Low Risk Scottsdale Home Business

Hi, welcome to my Scottsdale home based business blog. This blog is for home business owners in Scottsdale and those that are currently weighing their options as they search for the perfect opportunity in Scottsdale.  One important factor in my decision to start an online XoBiotic Squares store is the low start-up cost.

Starting my XoBiotic Squares online store did not wipe out my entire savings account. Many Scottsdale home business owners start direct selling businesses on less than $250. For that low fee, you get are able to sell a quality product that has been tested extensively. You are also able to take advantage of thousands of dollars of market research and advertising campaigns.

There is a common perception that Scottsdale entrepreneurs are reckless risk-takers who will jeopardize everything they own to start their home business. I don’t think this is necessarily true in most cases. Savvy Scottsdale direct sellers take calculated risks while maintaining a strong back-up plan.

So far, I haven’t needed to use my back-up plan, but I have peace of mind knowing that it’s there. You can start a XoBiotic Squares business very reasonably. For the exact cost, give me a call today.

AAP Immunization Information For Scottsdale Parents

May 3rd, 2012 by golftrainer

AAP Immunization Information For Scottsdale Parents In the past century, the rates of many serious diseases in the United States have significantly declined, in some cases, they have been virtually eradicated.

Many Scottsdale people have never met a person with measles, polio, small pox, rubella, tetanus, or diphtheria; though these diseases killed thousands of Arizona children in past generations.

One of the main reasons many dangerous communicable childhood diseases have been minimized in our area is due to Scottsdale children’s immunizations. The increase in immunization use has gone a long way to improve health in our Arizona communities.

Recently, I have noticed that many Scottsdale parents are questioning the children’s immunization schedule. I came across an informative American Academy of Pediatrics FAQ sheet that addresses most of the common concerns.

The AAP document entitled ‘The Vaccine Schedule, Why Is It Like That?,’ can be downloaded at http://www.aap.org/healthtopics/immunizations.cfm

I certainly learned a lot after reading the FAQ sheet and thought I would tell you about it here in my Scottsdale children’s health blog.

I think it is important for all Scottsdale parents like myself to be reminded of the scientific evidence that supports the use of the immunization schedule.

I am Scottsdale children’s health advocate Mike Pedersen. Call me at 480-209-3737 to learn about my favorite healthy snack for Arizona kids.

Carefree Kids Need A Healthy Plant-Based Diet

April 27th, 2012 by golftrainer

Carefree Kids Need A Healthy Plant-Based Diet

One of the best things you can do for your Carefree kids is to help them love plant foods. Kids who are exposed to a wide variety of live foods when they are young are more likely to continue eating them when they are grown.

Why are plant foods so important for Carefree families?

Plant-based foods have vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and protein. Live foods are generally low-fat, low-sodium, and, if unprocessed, have less toxins than processed foods.

Let’s help our Carefree kids eat better than most of us Carefree adults have eaten for the past three generations.

There is more to a plant-based diet than broccoli and carrots. Here are some plant-based meal and snack ideas to inspire you:

  • Legumes: beans, peas, lentils (hummus, black bean burritos, vegetarian chile)
  • Nuts and seeds: pecans, almonds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, (sunflower seeds on salads, granola with almonds, trail mix with nuts instead of M&Ms)
  • Whole grains: barley, spelt, millet, rye, quinoa, brown rice (spelt bread, whole wheat pasta, stir-fry with brown rice)
  • Fresh and dried fruit: bananas, berries, citrus, melons (blueberry barley pancakes, fruit plate with yogurt-honey dip, dried apricots in brown bag lunches)
  • Veggies: (mashed sweet potatoes, spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette, pizza with green pepper, mushrooms and onion instead of pepperoni)

One of my favorite foods is made from the super-nutritious cacao plant. It is high in antioxidants and taste like candy. To try XoBiotic Squares, contact me today.

Hidden Sugar In Scottsdale Kid’s Snacks

April 24th, 2012 by golftrainer

Hidden Sugar In Scottsdale Kid's Snacks Excessive sugar is a serious health threat for Scottsdale children. Do you know how much sugar your Scottsdale son or daughter is really consuming? I am children’s nutrition advocate Mike Pedersen.

Here are some popular Scottsdale kid’s snacks with more sugar than I realized:

Yogurt covered raisins
Fruit Roll-ups, Gushers, and Fruit By The Foot
Quaker Rice Cakes
Yoplait yogurt
Gogurt
Juice drinks: Capri Sun, Minute Maid
Flavored milk

The next time you and your kids are shopping for snacks at your Scottsdale grocery store, Scottsdale convenience store,  or Phoenix ball park snack bar, read the labels. Sugar content varies among brands.

Limiting the amount of sugar in your Scottsdale child’s diet is an important step toward better lifelong eating and oral health. To hear about another great way to improve your child’s nutrition in Arizona, call me today!

Make The Most Out Of Story Time In Cave Creek

April 20th, 2012 by golftrainer

Make The Most Out Of Story Time In Cave Creek

Cave Creek parents know that reading with children is essential to their academic success and development, but not all storybook sessions are as productive as others in building literacy skills. Carefree, Phoenix, and Scottsdale parents don’t need to worry, because a few simple guidelines can help your kids get the most from story time.

Instead of zooming through one picture book after another, take time to pause and allow your child to process the story.

Ask questions like, ‘What do you think will happen next?’ or ‘How did that make [the main character] feel?’ Enjoy the artwork and see what your child can infer from the pictures.

Beginning readers can point to each word as you read together. This will help them recognize that letters make up words and words make up sentences and they will get used to punctuation conventions.

Scottsdale parents may have to work to curb their boredom since kids love repetition and may ask for the same book over and over again. This is normal and healthy for younger kids, but if you have any concerns about their development, you should consult your Cave Creek pediatrician.

As kids get older you can ask more probing questions such as, ‘What was the most interesting part of the book?’ or ‘What is the setting of the story?’ There are also great opportunities for discussions about problems and solutions as well as themes and morals in almost all stories.

I’m Mike Pedersen and children’s health and development is very important to me. I am the owner of a Cave Creek home business that sells Power Squares. If you are interested in learning more, visit my website at http://www.healthychocolatebiz.net or give me a call at 480-209-3737.

Are Multivitamins Necessary For Phoenix Kids?

April 17th, 2012 by golftrainer

Are Multivitamins Necessary For Phoenix Kids?

Hello Phoenix! Welcome to today’s Phoenix children’s nutrition post. I am Mike Pedersen, and I promote children’s health in Phoenix and the 85331 zip code area.

Today’s post discusses children’s vitamins. Many Phoenix parents give their kids a chewable or liquid multivitamin. We all know that it is essential for Phoenix kids to get sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals and we often give them a pill to fill in nutritional gaps, just in case. Are multivitamins necessary for Phoenix kids?

I have found that Phoenix pediatricians have varying opinions about this issue. Some Scottsdale children’s doctors recommend parents give their children vitamins in pill form or at least don’t discourage it.

More importantly, Phoenix pediatricians urge parents to feed their children a variety of nutritious foods, presumably because vitamins and minerals in foods are better absorbed.

The Mayo Clinic website offers the following advice for Phoenix parents who give their children a multivitamin:1

Make sure the multivitamin is designed for your child’s age group.
Choose one that provides 100 percent of the daily value (DV) for all vitamins and minerals.
Store multivitamins out of your child’s reach and make it clear that they are not candy.
Don’t use multivitamins as a replacement for proper nutrition.

I sell a great-tasting healthy snack packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other good stuff for kids. To order, contact me today.
