Toast and honey \'best hangover cure\'

Hair of the dog, a fry-up or drinking lots of caffeine are all popular cures for a Christmas hangover, but scientists have discovered an unusual addition to the list.

Instead of grabbing a cup of coffee and a plate of bacon and eggs, the best breakfast after a heavy night out could be toast with a large dollop of honey.

Dr John Emsley, of the Royal Society of Chemistry, says hangovers are caused when the body converts alcohol into the toxic chemical acetaldehyde.

"Only time cures a hangover, and generally the acetaldehyde will be gone by mid-morning or midday. You can speed recovery by taking in more fluids, but hair of the dog only works if it relieves alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which suggests you are becoming addicted.

"The best breakfast is toast and honey, which provides the body with the sodium, potassium and fructose it now needs."

Dr Emsley added that the best way to avoid a hangover in the first place is to have a glass of milk before you start drinking, stick to gin or vodka with a few soft drinks throughout the night, and then have a pint of water before you go to bed. And remember to stock up on honey.

High salt levels in ready made Sunday lunch warning


A Sunday roast Freshly cooked roast dinners are always lower in salt content than the ready-made equivalent

Including too many ready-made items in a Sunday roast could lead to excessive salt intake, says research from a health charity.

In a survey of 600 supermarket products, Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) found that unnecessary amounts of salt are being hidden in certain items of pre-prepared food.

But cooking and preparing fresh food reduces levels dramatically, it says.

UK supermarkets say they are leading the way in salt reduction in Europe.

Consensus Action on Salt and Health (CASH) said a family Sunday roast can be a "balanced and healthy" meal.

But it found that choosing all ready-made products for a typical Sunday lunch - meat, vegetables and condiments - could result in nearly 10 grams of salt being consumed.

An adult's daily maximum recommended salt intake is 6g.

But if people read the labels and buy fresh meat and veg, it is also possible to cook a roast dinner with less than 2g of salt, CASH says.

This salt content is almost six times less than the total for the saltiest products.

Some of the saltiest products CASH found were a peppered beef brisket joint with mustard and pepper stuffing from Asda (2.3g per 212.5g portion), Tesco Finest root vegetable mash (1.6g per 250g portion) and Sainsbury's red cabbage (1.01g per 150g portion).

A portion of Morrison's English mustard contains 0.5g of salt, as much as a packet of crisps.
Just a trace

However, CASH's survey also found many pre-prepared products which were low in or contained only a trace of salt.

ADVICE FOR REDUCING SALT INTAKE

* Buy fresh, unseasoned beef, lamb or chicken joints and season them yourself with pepper or herbs.
* Avoid ready-prepared vegetables and cook your own with no added salt.
* Read the labels carefully and choose products that are lower in salt.
* Both English mustard and horseradish sauce tend to be very high in salt, opt for apple sauce and mint sauces which are much lower in salt.

Asda's butter-basted chicken breast joint contains only 0.3g of salt per portion.

And it found Sainsbury's buttered green vegetables and Tesco Value Yorkshire puddings contained just a trace of salt.

Sarah Cordey from the British Retail Consortium said the survey disregarded the large amount of fresh food customers use when preparing a Sunday meal.

She said the big supermarkets are doing "all they can" to reduce salt content.

"Our members are Europe's leaders in salt reduction and have made excellent progress in the last decade.

"The Food Standards Agency has found supermarkets' own-brand goods contain less salt than their branded equivalents," she said.

"Stores are keen to help customers achieve healthier diets.

"Retailers continue to lead the way on providing clear and detailed nutritional labelling on food products to give consumers all the information they need to make the choices that are right for them."

However Professor Graham MacGregor from the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, and chairman of CASH, said they should do more.

"Unnecessary amounts of salt are still being hidden in our food," he said.

"This puts both adults and children at risk of developing high blood pressure which causes strokes, heart attacks and heart failure, the commonest cause of death and disability in the UK.

"It is the food industry's responsibility to take the salt out."


RECOMMENDED DAILY SALT LEVELS

* Age 1-3 : 2g
* Age 4-6 : 3g
* Age 7-10 : 5g
* Age 11+ : 6g

ADVICE FOR REDUCING SALT INTAKE

* Avoid ready-prepared vegetables and cook your own with no added salt.

Foods that will boost your mood

Sardines
The omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines make up a large percentage of our brain tissue – mostly in the brain cell membranes – and researchers have found that people with low levels of omega-3s may be more prone to depression and low mood. As well as being vital for a healthy brain, it’s thought these essential fats may help improve mood by keeping cell membranes flexible so that the neurotransmitters – the brain’s messaging chemicals – can work effectively. Your body can’t make these essential fatty acids, so you need to get them from food.

Oats
Low-GI carbohydrates such as oats, pulses and wholegrain rice and pasta release glucose slowly into the blood stream, which helps to keep your blood sugar and your mood stable – and they give a boost to your immune system. US scientists Judith and Richard Wurtman, who pioneered research into the food/mood connection, found carbohydrates play a key role in enabling tryptophan, an amino acid that’s converted into the neurotransmitter serotonin, to enter the brain. As well as improving your sense of wellbeing and happiness, serotonin is also thought to help regulate appetite and sleep patterns.

Spinach
Several studies have shown that people with low levels of the B vitamin folic acid are more likely to feel low or depressed. Eating leafy green vegetables – spinach, broccoli, asparagus and brussels sprouts, for example – as well as calf’s liver, lentils and fortified breakfast cereals will help keep your levels up.

Chocolate
The good news is, everyone’s favourite pick-me-up is packed with ingredients that have feel-good potential – although some experts maintain the levels are too low to have any real impact on brain chemistry. As well as the stimulants caffeine and theobromine, good-quality chocolate also contains traces of phenylethylamine, a chemical similar to amphetamine, which helps trigger the release of endorphins. To complete this heady cocktail, chocolate also contains chemicals that slow the breakdown of a naturally occurring substance in the body which mimics – to a tiny degree – the euphoric effect of cannabis in the brain.

Chicken
Eat chicken and turkey breast, nuts, seeds and pulses to increase your intake of the amino acid tryptophan and help boost serotonin production (see oats).

Brazil nuts
These are the richest source of the mineral selenium (eggs are good, too – see below). In recent years, intakes of this vital mineral have declined and many people now consume less than the recommended daily amount (RDA). Several studies have shown more depression, irritability and anxiety in people with low selenium levels, so eating brazil nuts a couple of times a week might help to give you a mood boost.

Eggs
As well as being a good source of tryptophan and selenium, eggs are one of the few food sources of vitamin D (we get most from sunshine), which may help guard against a low mood. Eggs also contain choline, which is vital for brain health.

Water
It’s something we often overlook, but water is vital for every cellular function. “It’s not just your body that’s affected by hydration but also your brain,” says Dr Emma Williams of the British Nutrition Foundation. “Even mild dehydration can impair your ability to concentrate.” So remember to drink often, whatever the weather.

HAVE LESS

Caffeine
In the short term it improves alertness and energy, although the latest research by scientists at Bristol University suggests the boost that regular coffee drinkers get from their morning cup is nothing more thana reversal of the effects of withdrawal – once they get their ‘fix’, they feel better. Too much caffeine can leave you irritable, jumpy and prone to withdrawal headaches if you miss out on your regular dose.

Sugar
You might crave sugary foods when you’re feeling tired and low, and it is true that a couple of biscuits or a slice of cake will give you an instant lift as the sugar hits your blood stream. However, the effect is short-lived. As your sugar level dips, your energy levels will crash, along with your mood, and you’ll find yourself reaching for the biscuit tin again. Instead, choose slow-release snacks such as nuts and raisins, a piece of fruit and someseeds or natural yogurt with added fruit.

Alcohol
Too much of this delivers a double whammy on the mood front. While the first glass or two will help you to feel relaxed and at peace with the world, overdoing it has the opposite effect, often leaving you feeling jittery and depressed the day after. Alcohol also inhibits the absorption of many of the nutrients vital to brain health.

8 Easy Steps To Treat Sunburn

Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

Having sunburn is one heck of a problem. It is painful, irritating and it doesn’t look well on the skin. Thus, many are afraid of having one. However, there are times that sunburn can’t be avoided, especially during summer months. For that reason, it is better if we know how to treat sunburn and how to deal with it so that we can easily get over its effects and live normally, without pain and irritation. A word of caution though, sunburns can be very serious, therefore, if you are in doubt about how severe your burn is it is imperative that you visit a doctor for professional care.

Here are a few steps on how to manage skin that has been affected with sunburn.

1.    Stay Indoors. It is a must to prevent further damage to the skin that has been sunburned. In order to do that, stay away from the sun as much as possible. Limit your time outside the house or the building and try indoor activities. The truth is your skin will probably feel painful in the sun for awhile.

2.    Apply An Aloe Lotion. The extract of an aloe plant has very good and powerful healing capabilities so it is a good practice to apply it on the affected area. In addition, if you can find an aloe plant, the better, since it is pure and free from other chemicals which, in the end, may affect your skin. Aside from the aloe, you can also apply cool or soothing cream to moisturize the skin. Moisturizers as well as lotions that are vitamin enriched are also helpful in speeding up the process of the healing of the skin.

3.    Avoid Oils And Strong Ointments. If you run out of aloe, don’t bother to think of substituting oil, butter and ointments on the burned skin since they contain properties which may cause further irritation to the skin and might worsen your sunburn.

4.    Keep Yourself Hydrated. Drink a lot of water in order for you to regain all the loss fluids in the body. Water will help your skin to recover faster. In addition, it is also advisable to drink a lot of fruit juices like watermelon and avoid drinking alcoholic beverages to avoid dehydration.

5.    Wear Loose Clothing. Loose clothing will be very useful at this moment since it can prevent further contact and irritation to the skin. If you can get rid of the clothes altogether then do so. If not, wear loose fitting cotton or silk material clothing. They are soft and therefore they are less likely to harm the body.

6.    Cold Shower. Go for a cold shower, it’s probably hot anyway and it will be very helpful in easing the pain you are experiencing. In addition, use a mild soap and shampoo to avoid skin irritation. Also, avoid abrasive and exfoliating products when taking a bath. They will not be helpful in speeding up the healing process.

7.    Pain Reliever. If you can’t take the pain any longer caused by your sunburn it is advisable to take some medicines and then to consult your doctor.

8.    Never Peel Your Skin. Let the skin peel by itself since forcing your skin to peel may cause further irritation and damage. The skin beneath it is too sensitive, let the healing process continue naturally.

Relieve Stress - With Simple Physical Exercise


Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

It is really ironic how there is a correlation between obesity and stress in our society. However, there is relief for these two problems and it is called exercise. You can relieve stress by exercising on a daily basis. It is very true. As you exercise your body releases endorphins which can help to relax you and put you more at ease resulting in a feeling similar to euphoria. Many refer to this as the "runners high." Endorphins are similar structurally to morphine.

When you exercise on a regular basis these endorphins are released into your system and can calm the feeling of stress that you may be having. Long after you have left the gym the feeling of euphoria will still be with you. Another benefit of exercise is the stress busting factor, it will allow you to get rid of any pent up frustration that you may have. The daily frustrations that we endure can add up and over time we turn into one big stress ball. Eventually we can literally explode from all the built up stress.

A regular exercise routine can get the stress to leave your system in a safe and healthy  manner. When we push that pent up energy into something constructive, such as running, we can get relief from stress in a natural way without getting into trouble. Doing some high intensity exercise when you are angry can really make you feel so much better. If you still feel upset after spending a little time at the gym then most people will feel better after some more vigorous exercise. By converting angry energy into a physical workout, you can melt away a lot of stress and anger.

One other reason that exercise is a great way to relieve stress is because as you work out you receive a higher self esteem. If we feel an insecurity with ourselves we are on high alert and on a low simmer the vast majority of time. The stress that we face can be very much self induced. Sometimes it is our very own doubt or insecurity that can cause the stress. Instead of doubts and securities being another stress factor you can use exercise to improve mental well being and your physical self.

If you feel good about yourself, if you feel strong and in control and confident, then you are less likely to get stressed over some of the daily ups and downs of life. Exercise is a winning scenario. You can become physically healthy, lose weight and relieve stress. Exercise can help to relieve stress and lower blood pressure. As a result you will be happier and lose some extra weight that you might have.

2. Take a walk. Take yourself on a hike, a walk, a swim, a jog, or a bike ride. Take time to exercise. Exercise will help clear your mind,blow off steam and keep you healthy. Many women have a hard time voicing their frustration because we are not brought up to get angry and show it, however strenuous exercise added to your daily routine can help with anger. Working out and exercise is a great way to work off stress.

3. Get Selfish. This step is related to step 1 and what I mean is that you need to take time to do things for yourself. Go have coffee, meet with friends, get yourself a massage, etc. Make sure that your time is a priority not just when you have time to do them. Set an hour or one day per week to have a little fun. Do something for yourself without feeling any guilt. You have earned that time.

Making Workouts More Interesting


Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

Sometimes, working out as a couple can be so much more interesting. For most ladies, it’s certainly a whole lot easier than having to drag their guy to the nearest shopping mall. While your bodies have been built differently and you need to do different workouts, you can still be each other’s coach and driving force. In fact, research has revealed that women working out with their partner lose more weight than the ones who do it alone. Plus, this could be a chance for the two of you to actually bond and be closer together. Try it because it does have its advantages.

Even if your personalities differ from each other, you can still do something about it. Once you feel healthier, you’ll have more stamina to do most anything, and for that reason alone, you two could actually egg each other one to strive harder. So, you can come up with a strategy wherein you can do some of the exercises together. After all, men can be more goal-oriented than women. So, you can actually plan out rewards when you’ve reached specific goals. It’s all about incentive after you try hard. This could get you two addicted and will even have this friendly competition so you’ll see who can be the better challenger. If gyms aren’t your thing, you could get into sports that would require a partner. That way, you’ll also harness team spirit and plan together so you can strategize your moves until you reach success. Just never forget to have fun along the way.

When dealing with weights, your goal is to tone your body while your man may want to bulk up. Lifting weights aren’t going to turn you into those overly-muscled people you see in fitness and wrestling magazines. Just plan your approach and know which muscle groups to target. There are moves you can do together. Hey, you can even spot for him. That way, he’ll be more encouraged to do more. Let him do the same for you as well. Don’t let the weight differences in the dumbbells intimidate you. Likewise, if you see him struggling, you can show him how starting slow can actually be better. Never make fun of some of the things he won’t be able to do. Instead, encourage him more and shower him with praises. You’ll soon see him following suite and doing the same things for you.

Okay, so you’ve turned out to be such fanatics. You both can’t help it when you see what a big difference the workouts have made in your lives. As mentioned earlier, it’s all about playful competition. Change up the routine as well because once your bodies sense that you’re both doing the same things over and over again, your metabolism slows down. Alternate your routines and shock your muscles every time you do something. Talk about what you can do and if you insist about sticking through everything together, you can alternate between activities that you like. At the end, you’ll both be happy whenever you head out of the house to hit the gym.

How Do I Relieve Lower Back Pain - Well


Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

"How do I relieve lower back pain?" is a question that millions of back pain suffering people ask. Pain can be caused by numerous reasons. For some people the pain is a serious enough problem that will require medical attention. Some may need surgery and the least they may need is medication to help with the pain. This should not be the case when trying to find out how to relieve lower back pain.

There are things that can be done to help with lower back pain and to prevent the pain from coming back. Learning how to sit properly and resting your back are two solutions. Drinking more water may help. Adjustments in the way that you sleep may be a benefit as well. There are things you can do to relieve lower back pain and you should try them. These suggestions will bring relief and prevent you from suffering pain in your future.

A stressed back will find relief when you rest your back. The simplest method to do this is to lay on your back with head slightly raised and then your legs bent and elevated on a pillow. Either use a pillow under your knees to keep them at a slight arch or put your feet on a chair. Laying down like this for sometime will allow your back to rest properly. Be sure to get up to walk around sometimes so that your back muscles don't become weak.

A proper sitting position can also help to relieve lower back pain. As you sit, put your hips back as far as they can go and place a small pillow behind your lumbar area. In this position your shoulders should be arched and your back will form a bowl shape. You can use this same position while at your desk, or on your work commute or while watching tv.

Your diet may be having an impact on your back pain but it can also help to relieve lower back pain. Dehydration may be some of the cause. You should drink water even when you don't feel thirsty. If you feel thirsty then you have waited too long. The best rehydration for your body is water and it can help with lower back pain.

You should never overlook the way that you lay when sleeping. If you are waking up with a stiff back, it could be because of the way you are sleeping. The best sleep position is laying on your side with a pillow tucked between your knees. Sleeping on a softer bed may cause your spine to bend in a not so natural position and will not give you the support to relieve lower back pain.

Guide On Dealing With Animal Bites


Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

Kids are typically playful. They run around. They go out by themselves and even play by themselves. In addition to that, they also like to play with animals especially with our pets. However, being a kid with little experience they often didn’t know when these animals would like to play and when didn’t want to be disturbed.

For that reason, many kids are being bitten by animals. A bite from animals or even a scratch coming from them that has penetrated the skin can be too dangerous. Why? Because they may cause infection to our kids’ skin or even transmit a very dangerous virus.

Rabies is typically being transmitted when an animal has bitten us. This is a life threatening disease. However, aside from that, we may be infected by a more horrible virus by being bitten b y animals. Remember the Ebola virus outbreak? It all started with monkeys and it has caused so many lives.

Therefore, what are we going to do if we, and most specially our kids, have been bitten by an animal? Take a look at these simple instructions that you SHOULD follow to avoid further complications.

1. Wash. You must wash the bite and its surrounding area with soap and water. Wash thoroughly and apply some pressure. Do this until the bleeding has stopped and use a clean cloth or sterilized gauze to clean the wounds.

2. Antibiotic. Immediately apply an antibiotic to the wound after the bleeding has stopped.

3. Gauze. Cover the bitten area with a sterile gauze or a bandage

4. Medicate. If the pain is unbearable, drink an anti-pain tablet such as an ibuprofen or acetaminophen.

After you have followed those steps, you must ask your child what animal has bitten him, why he was bitten and when the incident occurred. Remember not to scold your child since he may not divulge the information on why he was bitten by an animal. Talk to him nicely and remember all the information that he will give you. You might need it when you rush him to the hospital.

After you have applied the first aid, then don’t think twice if you are going to the hospital or not especially if the bite has penetrated the skin or if you know that a wild animal is the culprit of the incident. In addition to that, if you know that the animal has no anti-rabies shots or the animal is acting weird already, then you really must go into the hospital and ask for anti-tetanus and anti-rabies shots.

Animal bites are really common and it can be prevented by keeping an eye on you child whenever he is near with animals. Teach your child how to handle animals and how to interact with them. Remember that animals can be nice if you are nice to them but they can also cause trouble if they are scared and threatened.

How To Relieve Back Pain Naturally


Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

In our culture, we spend a vast majority of our time sitting down so it is becoming an increasing necessity to relieve back pain. We spend hours commuting to and from work and then hours sitting at a desk working. The computer has us glued to the screen and then we top it off by sitting some more to watch television. Eventually we go to bed and wake up the following morning with our backs still aching.That is usually when it is decided to relieve back pain.

Many solutions are available such as expensive physical therapy and chiropractors. Or there is surgery and harsh medicines with chemicals that may be harmful. This all may be unnecessary and may cause more harm than good. Especially with prescriptions that are given to fight pain, is this true. They have harmful side effects and can possibly cause addiction which is a whole other can of worms.

If you wish to avoid all that, then there are more natural solutions that will relieve back pain. There is a pain relieving cream with a natural ingredient called Capsaicin that you may want to try. Capsaicin is found in chili peppers and is the ingredient that makes them so hot. The heat from the Capsaicin will bring you comfort from your pain. It may sting a little but that is natural and just shows that it is working. Most drug stores carry the cream for a decent price. Look for concentration levels of 0.025%.

Another way to relieve back pain is by using ice packs and heating packs. Most people probably use a heating pad but may forget that they can use an ice pack. The heating pad is much more comfortable than an ice pack, however the ice pack will reduce inflammation and swelling.

Treating Brown Spots on Your Skin


Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

Those dark, blotchy patches on your skin are called melasma. This comes from too much sun exposure, aging, or pregnancy. Even oral contraceptives are known to be causes as well, but for some women, the discoloration also pops up for no apparent reason. You can’t really entirely prevent melasma from appearing on your skin, but you can do something about protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays. Fact is, infrared rays also play a role. Sometimes, the traditional sunscreen isn’t enough. What you need right now is a potent facial moisturizer that gives you the protection you need.

Melasma can be quite tough to treat, but you don’t need any major surgery to address this problem. All you need is a light chemical peel that makes use of intense pulsed light or IPL. Just make sure you see a board-certified dermatologist so they can tell you what approach is best for your skin type. The procedure works by emitting high intensity pulses of light that can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin. It targets specific portions such as water, melanin, and hemoglobin. These are the particular areas that absorb light, but your doctor should also be able to adjust the wavelengths so you don’t damage your skin even further.

For those who want to get rid of their freckles, the portion that has produced too much melanin will be honed in. As soon as your melanin absorbs the light from the IPL machine, the old cells are then destroyed, making room for new cells to grow. Moreover, you can also benefit a lot from the treatment if you notice redness on your skin, and that’s because the hemoglobin is balanced out. For people who want to have their old tattoos removed, this is also possible via IPL. People who have tried it said that they noticed so many improvements on their skin. Their pores became smaller, the fine lines have lessened, and their skin became much smoother. This is good news for those who want their faces to look smooth and free from blemishes.

So, are you a good candidate for IPL? If you suffer from any of the above-mentioned conditions, then this is one avenue you can definitely choose to take. Just make sure that you’re not prone to scars and hyper-pigmentation. You may be extremely sensitive to the heat, and if your doctor isn’t very careful, you could actually burn yourself. Those who suffer from diabetes and certain blood conditions should also look into another option. You will not be able to heal from the wounds, and instead of coming out of the experience looking better, you could suffer from further complications.

However, as soon as you’re given the go signal from your doctor, make sure that the people who’ll work on you are more than capable of handling the IPL machine. You shouldn’t come out of the clinic with blisters. While there may be tenderness involved, you can expect full recovery within a day or two. In fact, you can even go straight to work when you walk out of the doctor’s clinic.

Breakfast: An Important Meal

Search Amazon.com for health and beauty assistance

When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me to eat my breakfast because it is the most important meal within the day. She also told me to eat like a King during breakfast time. Now, history repeats itself. But instead of my mom scolding me about breakfast, I am now the one convincing my child to eat his breakfast.

I myself hate breakfast during my younger years but as I grew older, I have realized its importance. I have learned that breakfast helps in refueling the body and can be a good source of energy for the day for the body to last longer on the day’s activity.

As a child, we usually sleep for eight to ten hours a day. During those hours, our body is functioning continuously. Thus, as we wake up in the morning, we are already exhausted without enough energy for that day. Eating breakfast helps in restoring the nutrients end energy that has been lost during our sleeping time

Breakfast eating is also a good way to maintain the body’s weight. How? Because breakfast is the one responsible for kicking the metabolism of our body during morning. Thus, the body can start burning calories. On the other hand, skipping breakfast can be a factor to become overweight since you will tend eat high calorie snacks or even have a sumptuous lunch.

In addition to that, eating breakfast can be a great help in improving the brain of the child. Of course that will happen if we will give our child the right foods and nutrition for him to cope up with his studies.  Eating breakfast that is rich in fiber, protein and whole grains may boost the attention lifespan, concentration and memory of your child,

Moreover, I have also found out that aside from weight management, eating breakfast is also responsible for lowering the blood cholesterol level as well as hunger complaints and school absences. Thus, I am making sure that my child will get the proper nutrition he needs by providing him the right foods on the first hour of the day.

 Wondering what foods to serve your child for breakfast? Well, I already have nutritious foods in mind for him like a whole-grain cereal with milk and fruits and yogurt, a whole wheat pita with eggs being stuffed with it, a whole grain bagel with peanut butter, fruits and milk, an omelet with vegetables and a whole wheat bread with apple juice and more.

The most important thing is to include food sources that are rich in carbohydrates, protein, and fiber since they contain the immediate energy needed by the body. In addition to the pointers, you should also know the foods that shouldn’t be served for breakfast like toaster pastries, breakfast bars, candies, chocolates, and alike. They contain no nutrients so better avoid throwing them in your shopping cart.

Thus, better encourage our child to eat their breakfast. In order to do that, we must live by example.
