I have four O&Es for you this week.
Salad at the LOOP: When my friend suggested we go to the Loop for lunch, I reviewed their menu on line. I ended up ordering my own way, grilled fish on a side salad, but I noticed that they were providing calorie information for a few of their items.
Peroxide: My dear friend who works as a health insurance coder and thus knows many physicians, was told by 3 of them in separate encounters that hydrogen peroxide was poison, or toxic, or just should not be used because of its effect on the skin. She was also told not to use Neosporin, then told to use Bacitracin, until finally, she was told to just use Vaseline. She had a cut on her forehead from her cat. So I wanted to share the Hydrogen Peroxide bit with you as I have always used it to cleanse wounds. I did a quick search of reputable web sites and could not find this same concern however. In fact, WebMD still suggests that it be used as an antiseptic and mouth rinse, BUT as my friend had heard from at least one of her docs, it does need to be diluted with three parts water.
10 Minutes: Remember, if you are not exercising yet, or if you are coming back from an injury, 10 minutes a few times a day may be better on your mind and body than 30 or more minutes at once. Most often, the worst thing to do is nothing.
Ice cream: Not long ago I blogged about B12 and how I was searching for it in the products I already consume while considering whether or not I needed to take a supplement. Remember? Well, you can read it again right here. Funny thing - I decided at the time to buy the more expensive milk because it had a good amount of B12 instead of a supplement. I noticed this week that the cheap ice cream I have always bought ALSO has B12. Very cool.
