flu-season

With the fear of swine flu high, not to mention the regular run of nasty bugs we can expect in the weeks and months ahead, make sure your first line of defense is prepared—keeping germs at bay on the home front.

Bleach and other chemical cleaners may be effective germ killers, but they can be bad for your health and your environment. Certain natural cleaners have the same powerful antibacterial qualities without the harmful effects.

For all-purpose cleaning that’s powerful enough to kill the vilest bacteria, spray vinegar (which kills most bacteria and germs) followed hydrogen peroxide in its own spray bottle. Hydrogen peroxide kills germs (and whitens—it’s good in the wash too!) like bleach, but is totally safe in the 3 percent concentration that’s found in stores. The combination can’t be beat to stop bacteria in its tracks!

For dishes, use the dishwasher as much as possible—the ultra hot water knocks out unfriendly bugs more consistently than washing in a sink does.

For carpets, upholstery and any surface that can stand heat and hot water, use a steam cleaner, which you can rent at home stores.

weight-loss

If you’re looking to drop pounds, you’ve probably clicked around a few weight-loss Web sites only to find that many charge a fee. These three, however, dish up advice and useful tools for free.

Peer Trainer provides a blank online form on which to record food intake, exercise, and notes. If you eat three desserts a day, it’s hard to ignore when it’s on your screen, which can spur you to do better. There are also online groups in which to chat about anything from dealing with arm jiggle to the best way to grill veggies.

Calorie Count takes the food log a step further. First, you’ll take a short quiz that gives you a calorie target to shoot for. To record what you eat, search the food database. Fill in the amount you ate and it will appear in your log, along with a grade of A through F for how healthy the food is. There’s also a nice section of reader-submitted recipes.

SparkPeople works similarly to Calorie Count but also provides preset meal plans with shopping lists. Besides recording total calorie intake, you can track specific nutrients, such as salt or carbs. Be sure to check out the online videos in the fitness section, including a 10-minute hips and thighs routine.

birth-control

The cost of birth control can really add up, especially if you don’t have insurance. Among the women I know, some spend $10 a pop while others shell out $40 a month for theirs. That’s anywhere from $120 to $480 a year—no small chunk of change! Knowing this inspired me to see if any contraception companies offer coupons. I was surprised to find out that some do:

If you use Nuvaring, you can save up to $60 on four prescriptions at nuvaring.org.

If Yaz is your birth control of choice, you can cut $10 off your bill with this coupon.

If you’re on Seasonique, you can save up to $75 on your monthly pills by filling out a simple form on their website.

Take Ortho Try-Cyclen Lo? Take $5 off your prescription by logging on to at Ortho Offers and Extras.

foot-solutions

I’ve always known that wearing uncomfortable shoes could lead not just to wear and tear on my feet, but also on my knees, hips and back. I’ve also always known that my arches are flat, so I shop for shoes with extra arch support. But after a recent visit to Foot Solutions I learned that the arch support I sought—though not necessarily a bad thing—wasn’t addressing the real problem behind my foot pain.

I stepped on a computerized foot scanner (felt like a mini foot massage!) that printed out a report showing what areas of my feet receive the most punishment. For me, it was (gasp!) the ball of my foot, also called the forefoot. That explains why after a day on my feet, even in shoes with the best arch support, I still feel pain in my feet and lower back.

I was happy to know what I really need to be doing to keep my feet pain-free, and even happier to find without having to spend a dime. Foot Solutions gives a free evaluation to anyone who walks into the store—whether you do your shoe shopping there or elsewhere! Now, I shop for shoes that will take the pressure off my forefoot. I’ve got one pair already and even if I were blindfolded, I could easily tell you at the end of every day what shoes I wore.

water

The highest quality water may not be that expensive bottled spring water after all. Not only are those disposable plastic bottles an environmental nightmare, a study conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NDRC) revealed that one third of bottled water tested contained some level of contamination, while city tap water is subject to much more rigorous testing and purity standards. You’re better off drinking from the tap, and if you’re still worried about contaminants, you can buy a filter, such as Brita or Pur.

On my ongoing quest to find inexpensive or free ways to give back, I nearly forgot one of the most basic forms of generosity that directly saves lives: giving blood. I guess I’m not alone; less than 10% of Americans donate blood annually, and of those who don’t, most say they “never thought of it” as their reason. But each donation can save three lives, and this summer—the season in which most blood shortages occur—I encourage you to take part. And here’s a neat new promotion: America’s Blood Centers and Nexcare have created a collection of GIVE bandages to raise awareness and thank donors. They will be distributed in blood centers across the country, and free packages will also be available at Nexcare’s website throughout July. Donate, and wear yours with pride!

sunguard

Not only is it important to wear sun block everyday, but you also should know if your clothing provides a good barrier between the sun and your skin. Many fabrics like loose weaves and light colored clothing provide no protection from the sun (the average T shirt has a UPF of 5), so you should either wear sun block under your clothing, which can be a sticky sweaty mess, or try out Rit’s Sun Guard. By washing one packet into a warm or hot laundry load with detergent, you provide your clothing with a UPF of 30 or blocking 96% of sun’s rays for up to 20 washes. Sun Guard won’t change the color or texture of your clothing, and is safe for sensitive skin. Three boxes cost $6 plus shipping and handling—so little money to save your skin from serious damage.
