Prevent Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when the body loses too
much water and it’s not replaced quickly enough.
It can be serious. Begin giving soothing drinks at
the first signs of the flu and follow these tips:

> In addition to plenty of liquids, give ice and
light, easily digested foods, such as soup and
broth.

> If your loved one has diarrhea or vomiting,
give fluids that contain electrolytes. These are
available at your pharmacy or grocery store.

You can make your own re-hydration electrolyte
drink for someone over the age of 12.

ELECTROLYTE DRINK
1 quart water
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. table salt
3-4 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt substitute
Mix ingredients well and flavor with lemon juice or
sugar-free Kool-Aid®.
*If drinking liquids makes nausea worse, give one sip
at a time until your loved one can drink again.

Honey

The Natural Sweetness of Honey

When considering what types of sweeteners to add to your food storage there are several reasons why honey should be at the top of your list. Not only is honey healthy, but it also has great flavor and will store almost indefinitely.

Honey doesn’t undergo the processing that sugar does, therefore it contains more nutrients. Mineral content is higher in darker honey. Digestion of honey is also easier than digestion of refined sugars. Honey provides a boost to your immune system that refined sugars won’t. The boost comes from the antioxidants that are found naturally in honey. Other health benefits of using honey include fatigue prevention and increased energy, and enhanced physical performance.

Note: Do not feed honey to babies under 1 year of age--it may cause infant botulism.

Honey can be used whenever you have a recipe that calls for sugar. Since honey is more concentrated than sugar use approximately 3/4 cup honey for every cup of sugar called for in any recipe. You may substitute up to half of the sugar called for without needing to make any other adjustments to the recipe. If substituting more than half of the sugar with honey, reduce the amount of liquid called for by one-quarter. Using honey also gives a sweeter taste to the foods you are eating.

Storing honey is simple. It can be stored in almost any container from glass and plastic jars to larger 5 gallon food grade buckets. Around 75° F is the ideal storage temperature, but any crystallization that occurs at cooler temperatures can be reversed. Simply place your container of honey in a pan of warm water (approx. 130° F) or in a sunny spot in your home. This will liquefy your honey. Be sure not to boil the honey as this can ruin the taste. Rotating honey is simple when substituting it for sugar but it can still be stored for a lengthy amount of time.

Making honey a part of your food storage can provide all these benefits and more.

Easy Honey Uses

Antibacterial: Apply honey to cuts, scrapes or burns and cover with a clean bandage. Change dressings one to three times daily, as needed. Note: excessive heat or prolonged exposure to light can rob honey of its antibacterial properties. Always store in a dark, cool place.

Disinfectant: Take several tablespoons of honey daily for internal disinfection.

Nursing salve: Nursing mothers, try covering cracked, sore nipples with honey-soaked gauze to prevent infection.

Sore throats: Many opera singers add honey to a glass of warm milk and sip slowly. This helps soothe the throat.

Insomnia: Mix a half glass of warm water with 2 tablespoons of honey and the juice of a lemon and an orange. The darker the honey, the better this works.

Honey pick-me-up: Combine 2 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons pollen, a teaspoon of ginseng, and dried orange peel. Take with a spoon. Asian healers believe that this creates a feeling of total rejuvenation.

Diarrhea: In 8 ounces of water, mix 4 large tablespoons of honey. This works well for bacterial diarrhea. Those with diabetes should be cautious about taking so much honey at one time.

Dieting: Honey's double action (providing instant energy boost, while maintaining sugar levels for along time) satisfies the hunger for sweets and may keep you feeling fuller longer. For some dieters, this may be good news.

"When obedience ceases to be an irritant and becomes our quest, in that moment...God will endow us with power." ~President Ezra Taft Benson

Prepare for Peace

A few months ago I was bitten by the preparedness bug. Yep---it's true! And now there is no turning back. The sense of urgency I feel to prepare is just too overwhelming. Many of you have expressed the same feelings. At first, I was completely overwhelmed with the daunting task of getting a year supply of food and other necessities. But I soon learned that, while the big picture of getting prepared can SEEM impossible to accomplish, the process is actually a combination of small steps that are EASY...and FUN... to do. The purpose of this blog is to encourage others to take these easy and fun steps towards preparedness. Have any thoughts, comments, success stories? Don't be afraid to share them. I'm eager to learn what I can from you! Now---let the fun begin!

******************************************************

Disclaimer:
The goal of this blog is to ENCOURAGE....never to DISCOURAGE.

The blog has a range of ideas: from simple ideas for those who are just beginning to more advanced ideas for those who have a head start on their storage.

If you come across an idea on the blog that you're just not ready for, move on to another idea. Don't get discouraged. Not every idea is meant for every person. The important thing is that you are working on SOMETHING.

*****************************************************

While many visitors to this site belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, some do not. For those interested in learning a little about this church, I'm posting some of our basic beliefs:

1. We believe in the eternity of the soul. We believe that we lived before we were born on earth and that life will continue after we die.

2. We are Christians. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior of the World.

3. We believe that the original Church of Jesus Christ was lost and was restored to the earth in 1830 by the prophet, Joseph Smith. The church Headquarters are in Salt Lake City, Utah.

4. We believe in, and use, the Holy Bible.

5. We believe in, and use, the Book of Mormon.

6. We believe in ongoing revelation.

7. We are a family centered people.

8. We attend Sunday services where we study and learn from the scriptures.

9. We have Family Home Evening each week to help strengthen the family.

10. We believe in doing genealogy and family history.

11. We attend the temple to participate in ordinances that pertain to the family.

12. We have more than 80,000 volunteer missionaries around the world in 400+ missions who pay their own expenses.

13. We believe in being self-reliance, serving in the community, and participating in humanitarian work.

14. Members of the church pay tithes.

15. Members of the church serve in Congress, government, media, entertainment, business, and many other notable positions.

We also have 13 Articles of Faith that describe our religion:

1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in his son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.

2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam's transgression.

3. We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel.

4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.

5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophesy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.

6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.

7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.

9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.

11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.

12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.

13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul---We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only true church on earth today. I know that our prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, was called of God to lead and direct the church at this time. I know that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. I know that he restored the church of Jesus Christ again to the earth. I know Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon and that it is the word of God. You, too, can gain this knowledge for yourself. The gospel of Jesus Christ has brought peace and joy into my life. This peace and joy is available to all who will embrace these truths.
