Baking Soda Stops Flatulence
You can fight those embarrassing gas attacks with a pinch of baking soda in a glass of water.
Holistic nutritionist, suggest the soda mixture instead of over the counter remedies.
You can also forgo fruit with your meals, having fruit first thing of a morning, or an hour or more after a meal. Fruit with the meal causes fermentation, which leads to gas.
Family Fun Gardens
With all that we hear on the news about food shortages I think it is time that we all get back to our roots, so to speak. Get your hands in the dirt and include the children. Give each child a space in the garden to care for. You will be surprised as to how excited they well become watching a seed grow into a food bearing plant.
There is a sense of pride the whole family will feel when siting down to a meal that they have grown themselves. You also have the assurance that there aren’t any additives added.
You will also find that this can be a fun family time together. I love the laughter that you can hear coming from my daughter’s garden when you pull into their drive.
You can have your Gardening questions answered by going to
