goji berriesWindex and Food: Imperfect Together!

As tempting as it may be to use, Windex or any similar type product can be a hazard to use in the vicinity of food products, particularly cutting boards. If you do not have the proper sanitizer available, a certain �secret� common household item will suffice. Please read on to find out how you can keep your guests safe!

Our web community for business flight attendants can be frequently found discussing proper food handling and food safety tips. One lively discussion a few years back surrounded the proper way of cleaning a cutting board. Might I add that the food preparing area of the typical business jet galley is about the size of a two-by-four? Thus, food can easily get into contact with the wrong products if extra care is not taken.

In the conversation, one of our members remarked that she had cleaned her cutting board with Windex. Well, the ensuing responses to her comment nearly caused an online riot as many of our veteran fliers responded by emphatically stating that products such 409, Fantastik, and Windex can all be harmful if ingested. These and similar products contain high levels of white spirits or similar type toxins, something you never want your guests to come in contact with. These products typically carry warning labels that say something like the following, �Do not ingest even in small quantities. Non-food safe.�

Our beloved and uniformed newbie member was aghast, not at the replies, but at realizing that she had cleaned her cutting boards not once, not twice, but at the very least four or five times using Windex! Although no illnesses were reported because of her error, she quickly amended her cleaning methods from that point forward to use a special sanitizer designed for the safe cleaning of her cutting board. Naturally, all of our members were thankful that she was no longer a potential poisoner of the jet set crowd.

So, just what is that little �secret� common household item that can be used when the proper cleaning agent is no longer available? Actually, there are two: diluted white wine vinegar or . . . vodka! Yes, vodka can be used, but it does have the tendency of altering the taste of subsequent dishes . . . not necessarily a bad thing, but it does leave a residue. The recommendation, of course, is to have white wine vinegar on hand if a sanitizer is not readily available.

Please, please use the previously recommended cleaning agents only on surfaces that do not come into contact with food. You may not kill your guests, but you can certainly make them very ill by using the inappropriate products.

dried tibetan goji berriesHealth Wealth

Nowadays most of us lead very busy lives. We tend to rush from place to place, switch quickly from activity to activity and spend little time on ourselves. Our activity also has a cost. We know that no matter how much money we have, we can't buy good health. We may be able to pay for all kinds of treatments that will make us feel good for a short while but what is real health and well-being all about?

The director of my nutrition course used to compare the state of your well-being to the state of your bank account. If your account is in credit, you're in good health. How quickly your "credit" is used up depends on factors such as your environment, lifestyle and your diet.

Your environment covers everything around out but also everything you are involved in personally and professionally. Your interaction with your environment is important to determine your level of "health wealth." For example, if you eat the right type of food for you but are feeling angry or tense or you eat too much, this would be an interaction that causes you to use some of your health wealth. Do this on a regular basis and you'll feel yourself moving into the debit zone.

I am witnessing increasing evidence of "health debit" as we draw on our "well-being" bank account but don't replace it. So I'm going to share 10 nutritional and well-being tips to help you stock up on your health wealth for the coming months.

1. Cut back on your intake of refined sugar and limit your alcohol and coffee intake.

2. Increase your intake of organic local fruits and vegetables to 7 servings daily.

3. Look after the health of your digestive tract by giving it a regular rest.

4. Drink plenty of water, filtered if possible.

5. Get your essential omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids every day from organic nuts and seeds or oily fish (if you're not vegetarian!) to help build strong immunity against illnesses and disease.

6. Resolve personal issues as they arise and release your stress on a daily basis. Just a few minutes can make all the difference.

7. Remember that it's your choice how long you decide to stay feeling as you do. If you're not feeling great, acknowledge the feeling and do something to change it - to stop using up more health credit.

8. Have a positive outlook and practical approach. Your health wealth starts with your attitude to life.

9. Strive to attain peace within by stilling your mind. Breathing exercises and meditation can help. This peace is a source of happiness that will always be yours.

10. Get a good night's rest, ideally by 11pm so the body can have time to rest and recuperate.
