Practical and natural!
Welcome to my Donna’s did you know diary for this month and pleased to share the following with you.
Here’s what I learned for this month.
1) About plants?
They appear to thrive very well in an air condition room.
2) When you take your blood pressure?
Make sure to rest your arm with the blood pressure cuff around it on a flat surface.
This way you can get an accurate reading.
3) A tip when using an injection pen!
Injection pens must be stored in a refrigerator before they are used
Before using the pen, take it out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes before using.
This helps to dull the impact of any potential pain when the injection enters the body and why?
Because if the injection is cold it is more difficult to pierce the skin.
So make sure that it is warm as per the above.
4) About rust stains!
If the stains are not too severe, use a solution of baking soda and vinegar on them.
If they are severe then you need to use heavy sand paper.
5) A safe way to pack injection pens when traveling!
Wrap them separately in a thick paper towel
Place them in a zip lock bag
And you should only have no more than 2 in a bag
Place in a thermos bag and use ice packs to keep cool
The ice packs should be kept frozen and placed in the thermos bag just before you depart.
Remember to keep your pens in the fridge at all times.
6) About reducing your bill when doing your laundry?
All you need to do is to turn off your taps after your washing is done.
7) How to detect freezer burn?
Very easy!
If your meat does not have a red colour then it is freezer burn.
8) A practical tip when trying to open stubborn bottles in your fridge?
First take them out of the fridge.
Next let stand for a few minutes.
Then voila! The cover comes very easy when you turn it.
9) A drink for soothing an upset stomach?
Try drinking a cup of hot water with a splash of lemon juice.
10) What 3 important questions that you need to answer satisfactorily when you first call 911?
• What is your name?
• Where are you calling from?
• What day of the week is it?
