Noticing your children encourages them without classifying them as "good" or "bad." Instead of saying, "You are such a good boy," say "You showed your friend how to butter his bread without tearing it. That was helpful."If your ch

Safety Tips For Using Warfarin (such as Coumadin) 2007-07-28 15:00:00 Get regular blood tests to ensure that you are taking the right amount of medication. Eat a balanced diet. Do not suddenly change your intake of vitamin K–rich foods, such as broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, asparagus, lettuce, spinach, and some vegetable juices.

Avoid excessive use of alcohol. If you drink, do so only in moderation. Alcohol may increase the effect of warfarin. Don't use tobacco of any kind. Talk to your doctor before taking any vitamins or supplements. Do not take ginkgo biloba or garlic while using warfarin. Avoid activities that have a high risk for injury, such as skiing, football, or other contact sports. If you are taking warfarin, an injury could result in excessive bleeding.

Exercise in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus 2008-04-27 19:25:00 Exercise has long been recognized as an important factor for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
