Stop your sneezing
Your home harbors a surprising number of sneaky allergy-causing culprits. Here’s where they’re hiding, and how to send them packing.
Clutter gathers dust
A messy home = nice digs for dust mites, bugs, mold, and mice. Recycle old newspapers, magazines, cans, and grocery bags weekly—and keep the bins outside if you can.
Carpet harbors dust mites
Dust mites and pet dander love carpeting and rugs, so bust out your vac weekly. Make sure it has a high-efficiency particulate air filter to trap tiny particles. To really ditch allergies, leave your floors bare.
Bedding & Bathroom
Banish mites and mold by washing bedding in 130-degree water weekly. Moist bathroom or basement walls love to breed mold. Wipe them down with a chlorine-bleach solution (1 ounce bleach to 1 quart H2O) to keep fungus at bay. In the fall, mold also moves indoors via wet leaves on shoes and damp firewood. Store wood in a separate dry space, like the garage, and keep the yard leaf-free. Also, see: 10 ways to remove mold. (more…)

The Sonoma Diet, created by Connie Gunderson R.D., Ph.D., is a diet plan that promotes using smaller plates and portions while enjoying Mediterranean-style foods as the way to a slimmer waist and healthier lifestyle. The diet is not meant to be one of deprivation and avoidance. You can still enjoy a glass of wine and favorite foods, just in a moderate amount.
The premise of the Sonoma Diet is based on the eating habits and foods of the Mediterranean. It “emphasizes eating a generous variety of foods that boost your vitality, protect your heart, and improve your overall health.” You eat wholesome, fresh food that is easy to find and prepare, rather than nutrition bars, protein drinks, and frozen prepared meals.
The recipes revolve around ten “power foods,” most of which are common in Mediterranean cooking: whole grains, almonds, bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, grapes, spinach, blueberries, strawberries and olive oil. The diet is managed in three phases, or “waves.”
Wave 1 is the kickstart to the diet and lasts for 10 days. Wave 2 is the eating plan you’ll stay with until you reach your target weight. Once you reach your target weight, the third wave or maintenance phase begins.
