Has your child ever been misdiagnosed? Or has your child been given the wrong medication? Medication and kids are a sensitive combo.
According to USNews.com, a study in Vancouver found that it is quite common for children’s meds to be given incorrectly. Over 100 medication errors were made in 83 homes from December 07 to September 09, 73 of those errors could have caused serious harm to the child and 10 of them did cause injury.
Eight ways to steer clear of making any problems are:
- Do not memorize! Ask your pediatrician for written instructions on how to give your child their medication.
- Ask questions. If you do not completely comprehend what the doctor is saying, ask them questions. Be crystal clear on the medication by the time you leave the doctors office.

Ever met someone who eats nachos, candy, hamburgers, and drinks soda all in one day and weighs no more than 120 pounds? Unfortunately, a huge percentage of us do not work that way. Why? One word…metabolism.
Slow metabolism can be caused from genes, but it’s also because of the choices you make. When you confuse your system with yo-yo diets, eat processed food, and surround yourself with toxins then yes you’re not going to lose weight.
According to the much loved Biggest Loser trainer, Jillian Michaels, there are a few ways you can turn your metabolism around:
* Get off that couch! Quit being lazy, don’t blame your weight on your slow metabolism.
* Stop the crazy diets. Your weight has been dramatically fluctuating over the years and it’s time for that to end. Stay on a regime that’s easy to stick to.

Recently, there have been reports showing that people can become addicted to tanning beds and junk food, and now a new study has revealed that many college students are addicted to the internet, “showing symptoms similar to drug and alcohol addictions,” reports Reuters. As a college student I can definitely relate; I would like to think that I am not addicted, but I do know that if I leave my iPhone at home, or have no internet connection I feel disconnected from the world and feel like something’s missing. It’s almost like a sense of security and comfort to be able to look down at my phone at any moment and have the internet right there at my fingertips.
