Fill Your Glass: Two Must-Drinks

For Babies: MILK

A recent study concluded that milk with higher levels of vitamin A, C, and E, and minerals iron, zinc, and selenium prevents major diseases in preschool kids, including diarrhea and acute lower respiratory infections like pneumonia.

The 12-month study was conducted by child nutrition expert among 636 children one to three years old.

The child nutrition expert concluded that children who drink fortified milk are better protected against these diseases than those who drink milk with normal levels of the same nutrients.

A known anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant, it is recognized by the National Cancer Center Research Institute in Japan as an effective anti-cancer beverage.

Having problems with cleaning leathers? If you are then I highly recommend Leather Honey Leather Conditioner. This stuff is great for cleaning leather.

It also worked great on a couple of pairs of my wife’s shoes that were older and very well-worn. I also used it on a couple of old leather watch band that had become dry and stiff and beginning to crack, it brought them back to life and they are now flexible and very nice looking. I couldn’t be happier.

Score Points With His Crew

– Break out the lowbrow chow.

You may be used to throwing chic get-togethers with the girls, but resist your urge to put a gourmet twist on man food. Stick to crowd-pleasing classics like nachos, and present a selection of hot sauces that range from flaming to face-exploding. Then, suggest they bet on who can handle the most heat.
