Location, Location, Location  – Think about the best place in your home to designate as work space.  Not only should you think about how much space you will need, but whether or not the space needs to have a door or window.  For instance, having a window doesn’t matter to me.  But having a door does.  I need to be able to  separate myself from work .  And, the best way to do that…is by closing the door.

Vitamin D supplements have been found to help obese children and teens control their blood sugar levels markedly, which may help them stave off diabetes, new research shows. The study, reported by University of Missouri researchers in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, indicated vitamin D supplements lowered blood glucose levels nearly as much as a prescription medicine, when given to children at risk of developing the metabolic disorder. "By increasing vitamin D intake alone, we got a response that was nearly as powerful as what we have seen using a prescription drug," said Catherine Peterson, an associate professor of nutrition and exercise physiology at MU. "We saw a decrease in insulin levels, which means better glucose control, despite no changes in body weight, dietary intake or physical activity." ALERT:   Reverse Type 2 Diabetes.

Written By Jessica Ryen Doyle for Fox News Children reporting to the emergency room for medicinal ingestion is up more than 30 percent in the past decade, according to SafeKids Worldwide, a non-profit organization that works with 600 coalitions in the United States with partners in 23 countries around the world.
