Individual vs. Team Sports For Denver Kids
May 16th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

There are growing numbers of kids in the Colorado Springs area involved in team sports. Participating in these activities can be a very positive experience for Denver kids. They can enhance health and fitness, social maturity, and even cognitive development.

What if your child doesn’t want to participate in organized team sports in your Colorado community? Perhaps they have yet to develop the skills necessary or find team sports too competitive or intimidating.

Fortunately, Colorado Springs children who participate in individual sports or even simple playful activities can receive the same benefits. With a team, the child has a coach to guide and encourage them in the chosen sport. Absent the team and coach, the guidance can come from the active role parents play in their child’s chosen sport.

Colorado parents who playfully nurture their child by playing catch, shooting baskets, or tossing pitches, encourage skill and personal development without the possible downsides of competition.

Many parents in Denver are organizing non-competitive sports groups. These allow kids to experience sports, meet new friends, and enjoy the improved health and fitness that comes from being active.

My name is Elsa Shields and I am a local XoBiotic Squares representative. I advocate for children’s health and would love to talk to you today. Call me to learn more about kids health and Xocai Nuggets.

Colorado Springs Kids And Headaches
May 10th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

Hello Colorado Springs! My name is Elsa Shields. Welcome to my children’s health blog. I am a local XoBiotic Squares representative and I am also an advocate for Colorado children’s health.

Children are no less prone to headaches than adults. If your Colorado Springs child complains of pain in their head don’t ignore it.

Some of the most common triggers for headaches in children are:

Missing meals or dehydration
Getting insufficient sleep
Being under stress
Taking certain medications
Spending too much time in front of a flat screen
Consuming caffeine
Receiving a mild head injury
Infection

Eating certain foods can also trigger headaches for Colorado Springs kids and teens. Keeping a food log for your child can help you determine if diet is a factor.

If you are prone to migraines, The National Headache Foundation recommends avoiding nuts, ripened cheeses, herring, pizza, and anything fermented.

For more information about children’s health or XoBiotic Squares, contact me today!

New Ways To Sell Xocai Nuggets In Colorado Springs
May 8th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

If you’re a veteran Colorado Springs direct seller who hasn’t changed the way you operate your business in the past five years, this article is for you. I have been selling and recruiting with my iPhone using free or inexpensive small business apps for a couple of years now. It has allowed me to make better use of my time as I run my Colorado Springs Xocai Nuggets business.

If you have not yet purchased an internet-enabled phone, I assure you that it is well worth the cost of a monthly data plan. If there are no 14 year-olds handy, I can show you how to use it.

The internet-based business apps now available are as sophisticated as those of Colorado Springs companies ten times the size of a one-person operation. Instead of buying hardware and software, you can use those that are hosted on servers in the ‘cloud’.

If you are ready to jump into a business with the potential for unlimited income, I recommend using affordable cloud computing to make money with your own Xocai Nuggets internet store. Your store is open 24/7/365, even while you are working your day job, sleeping, or playing golf!

Email me at esshields88@msn.com (on your new smart phone, of course) to find out why my direct sales opportunity doesn’t require a big investment up front.

Homemade Heat Pack For Denver Kids
May 3rd, 2012 by chocolateamargo

Denver parents are great at helping their children stay healthy and safe. Today on the Colorado Springs Children’s Health Blog, we wanted to give parents another way to help their kids: homemade heat packs. These easy-to-make heat packs are great for growing pains, sore muscles, or just some extra coziness at bedtime.

To start, simply go to any fabric store in the Manitou Springs, Woodland Park , or Monument area and choose some fabric (actually, you could even use an old t-shirt, fabric scraps, or a sock you have lying around). Cut two layers of the fabric one inch bigger than the desired size of the heat pack you would like for your child. A long rectangular shape is usually best.

Next, starting with one of the long sides, sew along the edges making sure to leave room for the seam allowance. Leave one short end open and fill the bag 2/3 full of rice. You can add a few drops of essential oil or herbs (these can be found at most Colorado Springs natural food stores) to give the heat pack a pleasant odor for your child. Tie the bag off at the open end with some cotton string, or stitch it shut, and you’re done!

When your ready to use it, be safe by only heating it in the microwave for one minute. Check to see if it’s warm enough, then add time in short increments from there. If your kids prefer a cold pack in the summer, these bags can go in the freezer to chill for a spell.

If you want to get extra fancy, any Manitou Springs, Woodland Park , or Monument fabric store would have interesting trimmings to add. But remember to avoid ribbons that have metal wire in them.

Healthy, happy Denver kids and their parents can be comfortable all year long with these quick and easy heat packs!

My name is Elsa Shields and I love to help Colorado parents with Denver children’s preventative health care and nutrition. If you are in the Denver area and would like to learn more about kids health or Xocai Nuggets, call me today at 719.439.0142!

Fresh Ideas For Healthy Meal Planning In Colorado
April 27th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

Colorado children’s nutrition experts say that family mealtime is a must for Woodland Park parents who want to know what their children are eating and stay on top of their kids’ nutritional needs. But with busy schedules, allergies, and different food preferences, planning meals can be a challenge. Here are some fresh ideas:

To simplify things, first make a list of all the foods your kids enjoy, healthy and non-healthy included. Study this list to discover ingredient combinations or cooking techniques they prefer. Then find recipes for healthy meal makeovers.

Make your own frozen meals. Just double or triple the recipe of a favorite casserole dish and store the extras in the freezer so the next long day or unscheduled event won’t tempt you to eat Manitou Springs drive-up or unhealthy microwaveable convenience meals.

If members of your family have allergies or are super-particular, make a large plain meal and have lots of healthy toppings available so everyone can customize their own meal. This works great for tacos, pizza, sandwiches, salads and baked potatoes.

Another time-saving tip for Manitou Springs parents: cook enough hamburger, steak, or chicken breasts for two or three different meals during the week.

For more tips on children’s nutrition in Manitou Springs or to order a tasty nutritional supplement made from the cacao bean, contact me today!

Probiotics For The Prevention Of Eczema In Colorado Springs
April 24th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

If your Colorado Springs kiddos scratch and claw at their skin because they suffer from children’s eczema you might consider including more probiotics in their diet.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that promote the growth of friendly microflora in the intestines. Some probiotic powerhouses you can find in your favorite Colorado Springs grocery store are yogurt, kefir, and kimchi.

Probiotics support digestive health in a number of ways. They have been shown to prevent diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, and help reduce the symptoms of eczema.

Safe and natural probiotics can be an effective weapon in your eczema arsenal. Colorado Springs dermatologists and Denver pediatricians also recommend washing your tot’s clothing with mild detergents, using humidifiers, and bathing them with mild soap and then letting their skin completely dry.

My name is Elsa Shields and I am a proud XoBiotic Squares representative. I also campaign for children’s health in Colorado Springs, Denver, and the surrounding areas. If you would like more information about children’s health topics or my Xocai Nuggets business, contact me today!

F-A-R For Woodland Park Kids With Asthma
April 20th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

Attention Woodland Park parents of children with asthma: Johns Hopkins Children’s Center recommends the FAR approach to prevent flare-ups. FAR stands for Flu shot, Avoid triggers, and Regular use of meds.¹

Flu Shot: Respiratory infections are dangerous for Woodland Park children with asthma. The flu shot lowers the risk of catching a bug and also helps lessen complications for those who do get the flu.
Avoid triggers: Woodland Park parents of asthmatic kids should determine the triggers and protect their child at their home, Woodland Park school, and wherever their child spends time.
Regular Medication: The meds referred to are the controller or prevention medications, not the rescue meds designed for use after an attack is in progress.

The Johns Hopkins article also reminds parents to be extra careful when the seasons change–a common time for an increase in attacks.

I am Woodland Park children’s health advocate Elsa Shields. I can be reached at 719.439.0142 and esshields88@msn.com. Call me for information on a new children’s nutritional product now available in Woodland Park .

DASH Diet Better For Teens In Colorado Springs
April 17th, 2012 by chocolateamargo

Attention Colorado Springs teens: The Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) helps prevent adolescent obesity, according to a recent study.¹

The study was published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine. The DASH diet includes low-fat dairy, chicken, lean, beef, chicken, nuts, fruits, whole grains, vegetables, and legumes.

Surprisingly, study participants who followed DASH actually ate, on average, 250 more calories than those who ate a typical Colorado Springs teen diet: high-fat meats, cheeses, highly processed foods, and fast food meals.

Colorado Springs parents who emphasize a ‘calorie deficit’ plan for teen weight loss may want to consider focusing more on the quality of the foods eaten.

I am a small business owner and teen health advocate in Colorado Springs. The products I sell promote health for people of all ages. For information on my health and wellness products, contact me today. Thanks for visiting my Colorado Springs children’s health blog.
