Spring Time's a Coming!

It's getting to be spring! Especially in the beautiful Tennessee Valley where I live. Of course,, along with the beauty of spring, comes allergies!

Check out this information from adagio.com on the allergy fighting benefits of tea (helps in lots of other areas too!)


Tea is Good for You!
Hardly a week goes by without news of yet another research study confirming the health benefits of tea.

"Green tea shows promise as an allergy fighter."
"The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea, rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter. In laboratory tests, Japanese researchers have found that the antioxidants in green tea, block the biochemical process involved in producing an allergic response. Green tea may be useful against a wide range of sneeze-starting allergens, including pollen, pet dander, and dust."

Medical cost

Medical cost has grown more than inflation for the past 20 years - and it's not getting better!

We have to do all we can to save on medical cost - even if it appears to be a small savings.

Here's a few ideas:

• Ask your doctor for generic prescriptions.
• Give up a bad habit such as smoking or alcohol. A pack-a-day smoker will save over $1000 in a year!
• Have regular checkups.
• Use clinics or the local health department when possible.
• Ask your doctor for sample prescriptions. Most doctors have samples, especially for new products.

Remember - frugal living is not cheap living - it is smart living!
