How To Replace Your
Showerhead
Many people prefer to replace the old
standard fixed showerhead with a
handheld one for easier use. If you have
never tackled this easy home repair,
here are a few tips:
To prevent leaks, apply silicone
plumber’s tape around the threads
before installing.
Wrap the tape to the right, so when
it is tightened you won’t pull the tape
loose.
Put several pieces of electrical tape
or duct tape over the jaws of your
pliers before tightening to avoid
damaging the chrome finish.
Adam, Eve and ???
Eve questioned Adam after he spent a
lot of time away from the garden with
her. Convinced that he had been
running around with another woman,
she challenged him to admit it.
Adam responded, “What other woman
could it be? You are the only one.”
That night, he was awakened by Eve
poking fingers into his chest.
“What are you doing?” Adam inquired.
She told him that she was counting ribs.
Spice Up Your Body
Many cooking spices have benefits to
the body beyond tasting good. Try
adding these 3 healthy options to food:
Peppermint
is useful to soothe a sore
throat. Its anti-inflammatory properties
can even reduce coughs and congestion.
Cumin
contains a phyto-chemical that
gives the spice its bright yellow color.
Promising research is being done in the
treatment of diabetes and cancer.
Cayenne Pepper
is known for its fiery
taste but there is more to this spice than
its pungent taste. They aid in digestion,
cleanse the intestines, boost immunity
kill parasites, and improve circulation.
Avoid Deadly DVT When Flying
Air travel can produce a number of “minor” discomforts due to changes in
air pressure, poor air quality, and dehydration. But the potential risk of DVT
(Deep Vein Thrombosis) is far more serious.
DVT is the development of a blood clot in a vein deep inside a part of the
body, usually in the lower limbs like your legs. This ailment is not limited to
air travelers, but sometimes comes from being still for extended periods of
time. The next time you fly, reduce your risk of this potentially fatal condition
with these actions:
1. Take a brisk walk 30 minutes before a flight.
This increases blood flow
to your limbs before sitting for a long time.
2. During the flight, regularly change leg position.
At least once an hour,
try these exercises for 30 seconds to move your legs around while seated:
Lift your
feet
off the floor. Make circles in the air with your
toes
.
March in place by bending one leg at the
knee
and lifting it toward your
chest
. Do the same thing with the other leg.
Hold your
heels
to the floor and point
toes
up and back toward your
body. Then, keep the
balls of feet
on the floor and lift heels up high.
3. Avoid dehydration.
Although the cause of DVT is not always known,
dehydration is common among DVT sufferers. Drink plenty of water and
avoid alcohol because it can make you dehydrated.
4. Move around the plane by taking a short walk to the restroom.
You
will probably need to use the restroom anyway, if you followed the advice
given above.
5. Consider wearing elastic compression socks.
These stockings can be
worn under your pants. They apply gentle pressure to the ankle, squeeze
blood toward the heart and help with blood circulation.
Restricted movement can be dangerous for some people. If you have had
recent surgery, take oral contraceptives, are pregnant, obese or smoke, you
may want to ask your doctor about your DVT risk and take proper precautions.
