In Case of an Emergency (ICE)

Keeping it Simple and Just do it!

ICE was first put into general use in Britain a few years ago and has since gone Global!  If  you have yet to do so - PLEASE do it!

It lets first-responders know who to contact if you are injured where every second save could be critical.

Couple ways of making sure medical providers are aware of these. Go online to Medids and get a Free Medical Emergency Information Alert Card, fill out the information and keep in with your driver’s license, provide copy to your ICE list, and keep it with you.  While you are online, visit ICESTICKER.COM.

Make sure that the folks you have selected to your ICE list know they are, and that the following information is available:

• Medicines –List all current medications you are taking, including herbal and organic supplements because they can and do interact with some medications.
• Allergies – List all known allergies, especially to medications, but also to foods.
• Doctors – Include the names and phone numbers of doctors or other medical providers responsible for your regular care.

There are several apps available online for downloading on just about all digital devices, take a couple minutes, do your search, download, install and complete the information – it could SAVE your life.

Always carry that information with you.

What are your Favorite Snacks?

Good Tuesday morning fellow readers and thanks for stoping by for todays post.  Healthy Habit # 9 Snack the Healthy Way.  A quick search on Google resulted in ~57.5 million hits of this subject, more than I could review in a couple weeks =).

Doctors, Nutritionist, Dietitians and healthcare professionals recommend three meals a day with a healthy snack mid-morning and afternoon.  This helps us for over eating and helps control hunger pains through out the day and to maintain a good energy level throughout the day.

Missing a meal or meals, generally due to some sort of medical procedure/test plays havoc with my body and requires extra attention to avoid over eating the next meal or two.  My diet is also impacted during those periods as I take medications before and after breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

We would love to hear from you on your healthy snack ideas and when you (and your family) do your snacks.  In a couple weeks, we will provide the results of your comments and share our findings.

Wishing you a wonderful day and looking forward to  your healthy snack comments.
