Childhood Obesity Facts: Heart Disease may soon follow!

Unfortunately, childhood obesity is a significant problem, and it is not only a condition that affects the childhood of the obese individual. Being obese as a child increases your risk for heart conditions in adulthood. In fact, obesity in children has been called a warning sign of heart disease.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), 16 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 19 meet the criteria for obesity. And while new cases of obese children are not necessarily growing, the number of children with diabetes is growing. This may well be a backlash of the childhood obesity epidemic.

In one study, artery wall thickness in obese children and teens was found to be as thick as the artery walls of a 45-year-old adult. This means that childhood obesity could have a sort of acceleration effect on heart disease. While the study was not conclusive and the number of participants was small, it does raise a certain red flag of concern.

How to Respond If Your Child Takes a Poison

Just how would you respond if children poisoning were to happen accidentally in your home? There is nothing more alarming than hearing your child scream from somewhere else in the house. You run to their side only to find an unlabeled bottle lying next to them and their face as red as a beet. What do you do?

Accidental poisonings occur more often in the home than anywhere else. And, they involve small children most of the time.

Small children are more resourceful than you think. Many substances in your home that are considered poisonous are expected to be out of reach of children. It says as much on the labels of the bottles. If anyone ingests it or breathes the fumes, they expect it to be an adult who had an accident while handling it.

The Dangers of Third Hand Smoke

There are new concerns over this new smoke,or smoke that has penetrated fabrics, paper, and other substances, and settled on indoor surfaces. For decades we’ve heard about the dangers of smoking and of second hand smoke, but there are now concerns over this new kind of smoke. This residual smoke can, apparently, form new chemicals when it settles on common household items such as carpets and furniture.

More than one study has looked at the issue of residual tobacco smoke. The results of the most recent study were released early in 2010. The earlier study recognized the presence of this smoke on indoor surfaces, and coined the term third hand smoke. The more recent study not only recognized the existence of residual smoke; it indicated its dangers.

Long after a smoker leaves a room, the smoke lingers in the air. It settles on surfaces and penetrates porous ones. Continue Reading Third Hand Smoke The Dangers of Third Hand Smoke Here

Are you concerned with child safety and want to keep your kids safe with a child proof home? Is your house safe for your kids? We often think of safety hazards as sharp edges or open sockets. But, what about some common items around the house and could they become poisons in the wrong hands or mixtures?

As adults, they stand much taller than children. The world looks much larger to them than to us adults. Also, it is a bit more exciting for them, and how they love to explore. Cabinets, crevices and boxes all give fuel to their imaginations and have them seeking out mischief.

Most of us have always been taught to keep dangerous chemicals down low and not at adult eye level. One accidental spill and you could wind up being blinded for the rest of your life. But, on the other hand, to a child that cabinet under the sink could be even more dangerous. Continue Reading Child Safety How to Keep Your Kids Safe With a Child Proof Home Here
