Staying Away From Colds

I just wanted to talk about how to stay away from colds as the winter comes to an end.

As you go out of your home, make sure to wear a jacket. In the morning, the air is still cold.  One may think that just because it is going to be 50 or above that you do not need to wear something warm.  You can always just carry it later in the day. Late at night it also gets cooler.

Eat plenty of vitamin C, so you do not get a cold. Have oranges frequently and orange juice. If you do not like oranges then have a supplement.

As soon as you feel like if you are catching something, take medicine to prevent it from getting really bad. Go to your doctor if necessary.  Do not let it get any worse. It can become the flu or even H1N1.

So let's stay safe.

Transplant of Organs

Today, I am going to talk about the need for transplants. It is very important that you be aware that there are many people out there who are in need or an organ transplant.

Many people might think that if you are a donor that you may not be able to lead a normal life, but that is not true.  Donors can live the way they have been all their life. By donating an organ, you are helping someone live longer. Giving someone a chance to see their children grow up. Or if it is a child who needs it, then you are giving them a chance to life.

I know that everyone is very busy doing their own things, but how long does it really take to inform yourself of being a donor.  There are many organs needed like liver, heart, pancreas and kidney just to name a few.

This is something we can all do for someone we do/don't know.  Let's leave our fear at home and do something good for someone who needs it.
