According to the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it’s important that all of us know, understand and teach the importance of practicing healthy hygiene routines.

Germs can get spread everywhere but public places where there are a lot of people tend to be the areas where you need to be the most careful.
Children, especially at school, should be aware that it’s possible for some viruses and bacteria to live on surfaces such as tables, doorknobs and even their own desk they sit at every day.

In 1999 the US Department of Education reported that approximately 1/5 of the US population attends or works in schools.  The flu can cause high rates of absenteeism among students and staff in our country's 119,000 schools. Influenza is not the only respiratory infection of concern in schools.  Nearly 22 million schools days are lost each year to the common cold.  However, when adults and children practice healthy habits, they miss fewer days of work and/or school.

At times when you’re on the bus, in your car or at any time when soap and water are not readily available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or sanitizing gels are good alternatives.  They can be used anywhere and conveniently fit in your pocket, backpack or purse.  When using a gel just rub your hands together until the gel is dry. The gel does not need water in order for it to work.  The alcohol it contains will kill the germs on your hands.

Lip balm or salve is what saves us from suffering with dry, chapped lips.  By producing a barrier on the surface of your lips it helps seal in moisture.  Because the skin on our lips is so thin and sensitive it’s more susceptible to dryness.
Recently people have shown more interest in and have committed to using all-natural or organic products.

Any substance that we’re using several times a day, seven days a week should of course a point of interest when it comes to our health and well-being.  This is why numerous habitual lip balm users choose these products that are made with beeswax.  Beeswax is a natural wax made by bees inside the walls of the honeycomb and is a natural emulsifier often used in cosmetics.

How can you prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?

If you’re experiencing frequent numbness and tingling in your hands or wrists you are most likely suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.  Carpal tunnel occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is being compressed or squeezed.  This is a progressive and extremely painful condition.

These PenAgain pens are ergonomically designed to fit the contour of the hand and they make great affordable promotional items!  This ergonomic design helps alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel, writer`s cramp and arthritis.

Wear splints to help keep your wrists straight.  Be sure to use correct posture and avoid continuously working with your hands bent in awkward positions or uncomfortable angles for long periods of time.

Use a wrist-rest mouse pad.  The foam conforms and adjusts to the contours of your wrist and will help to relieve stress on pressure points.

A study conducted by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found that exposing human cells to one hour of mobile phone radiation triggered a response which would normally only happen when cells are being damaged.

This authoritative two-year study has concluded that radiation from mobile phones causes changes in the brain which could create risks to your health.

Scientists think that these changes could hinder a safety barrier in the body which is meant to protect the brain from harmful substances in the blood.  They are now going to continue research to try to discover how important these effects on health might be.

In this ground-breaking research human cells were used for the first time (instead of rats) to study the effects of radiation on the brain.  Scientists concluded that even low-level emissions from handsets affect our cells.  The concern is the cells which make up blood vessel walls shrink allowing tiny molecules to pass through into the brain tissue.

Promotional Hands Free Cell Phone Ear Piece - as low as $5.28

The report's conclusion warns that the potential radiation-induced breakage of the blood-brain barrier (RF-EMF), if occurring repeatedly over long periods of time, may become a health hazard due to the possible extra-capillary accumulation of molecules that might cause brain tissue damage.
Until more is known and documented about this issue it’s a good idea for everyone to use an earpiece instead of holding the phone directly up to your ear whenever talking on the phone.

Temperature rise and heat builds up inside a parked car.  There are a couple things you can do to try to avoid your car becoming like an oven.  When possible park in the shade or try to park in the direction where the sun will be shining on the rear window or passenger side for most of the time that it will be parked.  Eliminate some of the heat by placing a windshield sunshade on the inside of the windshield when you leave your car.  This will prevent the sun from beating on the dashboard and steering wheel.  Purchase removable side window screens to offer rear seat passengers a little relief from the sun on long road trips.

It only takes minutes for the temperature inside a car to get high enough to kill your child or pet.  Do not ever leave children or pets inside your vehicle in the heat.  Not even with the windows cracked.  NEVER!  Not for even a single minute.

Don’t Drive During Rush Hours.  Check with your boss or company to find out if it’s possible to go into work a little earlier or later or leave earlier or stay later to avoid the peak travel times.  Plan your route to avoid traffic jams. When you do drive it’s best to avoid excessive idling, braking and acceleration while in traffic, traffic is usually responsible for consuming most of your gas.  You can also avoid jams by paying attention to traffic patterns in and around your area and try to use them to your advantage.

Optimize your route. The less distance you drive, the less gas you use.  If you have several stops to make, see how you can route your trip to have the minimum number of miles driven.

Items such as cell phone chargers that can be charged using the cigarette outlet are convenient and can come in very handy in emergency situations.

Ions play a significant role in our environment and everyday life.  There are two kinds of ions, positive and negative.  Positive ions are produced by cars, factories, heavy machinery, smoke, dust, soot and other pollutants.

According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. Banks lost $711 million due to check Fraud in 2006, when I say “U.S. Banks” I’m really talking about YOUR money, and when I say “lost” I mean fraudulently stolen by criminals. How did this happen? One of our first blog entries educated people about the risk of check washing and the effects it can have on you and your business. Check washing involves rinsing off the ink of the payee and the amount on the check and substituting information. When you put a check in your mailbox all someone has to do is grab it, wash it, and re-write their name in it and viola!

So what can you do to avoid this? You don’t have to get new checks, change your bank, or even spend more than $1.86. Protect your company and customers from this and be a hero! Check out our Anti Check Washing Pen and never worry about your money being stolen.

Here are some other helpful tips to avoid check fraud:

Only use anti check washing gel ink pens they are specifically designed to combat check washing.

Don’t drop checks in residential mailboxes; put them in secure locations that cannot be tampered with.

Shred cancelled checks.

Don’t have your new checks mailed to you; pick them up at the bank.

Check bank statements regularly and report discrepancies immediately.
