Summertime means outdoor cookouts, but be sure to bring one indoor
cooking tool to your barbeque. Food safety experts say a meat
thermometer is a must to ensure that hamburgers are fully cooked to 160
degrees, poultry to 165 degrees and that whole cuts of other meats and
seafood are fully cooked to 145 degrees. Source Link
Flu
season is hitting hard among the canine crowd. A new strain of dog flu
is highly contagious to other dogs but can’t spread to humans. See your
vet because there’s a dog flu vaccine available and be on the lookout
for symptoms like a cough and fever that could be signs of dog flu. Source Link
The
bathroom scale may not be the best way to see if your diet plan is
working. Health experts say things like water weight can throw off that
measurement. What’s a better way to track your progress? Use a tape
measure on your chest, waist, hips and thighs once a week, and see if
your clothes are beginning to feel loose. Source Link
