Benefits of Vehicle Tracking

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Health Conscious

Vehicle tracking has been most advantageous to businesses because they can monitor their deliveries and prevent delays. And I have seen it being used in spy movies and military shows.

But I think there is one more good use of vehicle tracking especially for the family–and that is for the elderly.

A lot of our elderly parents, those who are already above 70 years old, who are still driving. I remember that there is a couple that we know who still drives in their 90s. Oftentimes, they would forget where they are or where they parked the car. And a lot of times, it would take days for their daughter to find their car.

But that problem will be solved if their cars have GPS trackers. It will surely save the family from a lot of trouble and at least, the children will also feel safe that they can locate their parents who just suddenly decided that they wanted a road trip.

Avoid Teas and Coffees During Hot Days

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Health Conscious

Dehydration is rampant nowadays because of the scorching heat. It is strongly advised that we keep ourselves cool by wearing cool clothing, staying away from the sunlight, and hydrating ourselves by drinking a lot of water.

Then my mother told me to avoid drinking tea and coffee for the season? Why? That is because both tea and coffee are diuretic, which means that they kinda induce the body to urinate and therefore lose moisture. It has been said before that if you drink a cup of coffee then you have to take four cups of water. I guess that this time, you will have to double that amount because our bodies are getting scorched.

Let’s avoid getting sick during this summer time when we can enjoy the many resorts around us. Keep yourselves hydrated and avoid diuretics like tea and coffee. If you do drink them, then you have to take more water, too.

Battling Dehydration

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Health Conscious

It is just so hot nowadays with the temperature reaching up to 38 degrees during the day. Inside our room on the third floor, it can get really hot like a furnace.

We would turn on the air-conditioning and the fan at once but even if both are working, they are not enough to cool the room. My daughter and I would take a nap in the afternoon with the fan and aircon on and we still sweat like so much!

That is why we drink a lot of water. I would constantly give water to Dindin so that she stays hydrated. I also bought a medicated lip balm by Nivea to keep her lips moisturized because one day, she woke up with bleeding lips. That is how hot it is now.

I think that by now, Dindin can already finish a liter of water in a day. And that is excluding the milk that she takes.

When she looks flustered, I would wet a towel and wipe her face, arms, and underarms to make her cool. And as much as possible, we stay indoors. Waaaa it is just sooo hot!
