MyOptumHealth and Sneaky Chef Book (Giveaway Closed)
Cold and flu season is here. This year has flown by and it seems like flu is spreading so much earlier this year. I know just a few weeks ago there were tons of kids that the schools sent home that had the flu. Luckily in our house we haven't had to deal with it yet this year (knock on wood), but there has been tons of hand washing and sanitizing going on.
One online source that I have found really helpful while looking up information for the seasonal and H1N1 flu is OptumHealth.com. This site is simple to use and is full of helpful information. While searching on their site, I found a great article titled: "7 Ways To Help Avoid Infection"
Since OptumHealth is dedicated to keeping families and kids healthy, they are offering one of my readers the chance to win a wonderful book, "The Sneaky Chef". I have had the opportunity to look over this book, but haven't had the chance to try a recipe just yet. It looks fantastic and I can't wait to give it a try.
The Sneaky Chef is a great book for parents that have picky eaters. It shows us how to hide healthy foods in our little ones favorite meals! You can visit HERE to get a sampling of what type of recipes to expect.
MANDATORY:
How is your family gearing up for the Flu Season?
Thank you to everyone that took time to enter. Random.org picked #81 as the winner

We are all getting or have gotten the flu shots and we are using hand sanitizer more often. We also take the WalMart brand of airborne when ever we have been around someone who is ill. So far none of us have caught anything. Praise God! Thank you for the giveaway.

I've learned that yogurt with active "culture" boosts the immunity system: Apple crunch parfait: Mix 6 oz. vanilla yogurt with 1/2 tsp. apple spice, layer yogurt, low fat granola and apple slices,writer61@yahoo.com

My niece just tested positive for Influenza A, so we're in the process of sanitizing everything. We're reminding little ones to wash hands constantly and concentrating on healthy habits.

We wash our hands often and use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. I keep hand sanitizer in my purse and car. I also use Lysol spray on surfaces in my home like keyboards, door handles, telepones and remotes.
October 23, 2009 9:48 AM
We have all gotten the flu shot, babies are on waiting list for H1N1, no one sick comes to the house and we have hand sanitizer around the house.

Hi...
The cover depicts a fantastic impression of the book. It will be surprise to my mother however she is very conscious about health and fitness. I can say this one is indeed a very nice book one must read.
October 24, 2009 11:05 AM
I've already had my flu shot. Now I'm just waiting to get my son his once they get more. Other than that, I would say we are keeping up with the hand washing, hand sanitizer, tissue and using the crook of our arms to cover our mouths and noses when we sneeze or cough. Trying to keep the germ spreading to a minimum.

Wash hands well and keep them away from our eyes, mouth and nose (entire face!) Also, we cough into our arm instead of using our hand!

I'm sad to say that we already had a bout of H1N1 in our house. Only 2 of our girls, and they have Neurofibromatosis so they are vulnerable. Luckily, the other 2 kids and ourselves did not get it, but we're sanitizing like crazy Lysol & Purex are our best friends now. Thanks for the giveaway!
