Remedy for sore throat!

Many times, sore throats can be a pain. Especially if you have to talk as part of your job. Working as on on-air personality is no different.

Thankfully, my boss, David Taylor, as a "tried and true" method. It seems to work.

It's nasty, but the best remedy ...

"Make a quarter cup consisting of 3/4 warm water and 1/4 apple cider vinegar. Low (deep) slow (glug gargle, not bubble making) every 4 hours. Also helps to take the strongest antihistamine you have (w/Pseud) when they go to bed and rise."

In The News: - 65 years ago the modern process of making Peeps began. In the old days, a three-dimensional marshmallow Easter Peep was made by hand-squeezing marshmallow through pastry tubes and the eyes were painted on by hand. This process took 27 hours. In 1954, Bob Born of the Just Born company helped develop a mechanized forming process to create Marshmallow Peeps. Using his process it now takes only six minutes to create and package a Peeps… 1.2 billion Peeps a year are made for all holiday seasons. That’s enough Peeps to circle the earth twice.

In fact, the researchers in London (Imperial College) found the greatest benefit came from eating 10 portions of fruits and vegetables a day.

In The News:- A Texas man has entered the record books with the world’s largest video game collection. He has 20,139 video games. Antonio Monteiro’s collection includes full North American sets for several consoles. The collection took officials eight days to count.
- A scary moment was captured on video which shows a man in Turkey being lifted into the air by strong winds. Footage shows three men running to secure a sidewalk umbrella as strong winds moved it and one of them is blown into the air after stepping on the base of the umbrella. The man jumped off after being lifted ten to 13 feet from the ground and was uninjured.
- Some people find them annoying, but those speed bumps that force motorists to slow down in neighborhoods and near schools can significantly cut the risk of injury or death to children. A review found that children who lived on streets near a speed bump were up to 60 percent less likely to be hit and injured by an automobile than youngsters in areas without them. Motor vehicle-related incidents are the leading cause of death for children age 1 to 15.
- According to a survey, nine out of 10 toddlers are allowed to eat junk food and eight out of 10 parents admit their children have worse diets than they had at that age — but few think they are to blame. The survey also showed more than half of children do not eat the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables each day.
- That cup of coffee that many gym rats, bikers and runners swill before a workout does more than energize them. New research suggests it kills some of the pain of athletic exertion. And it works regardless of whether a person already had a coffee habit or not.
