How to Clean Your Oven Using Baking Soda-image

No one looks forward to cleaning their oven. Of all our household chores, oven cleaning is one of the dirtiest, most tedious, and time-consuming. What’s more, commercial oven cleaners are often unpleasant to work with, containing a laundry list of chemicals which can cause burns or irritation of any exposed tissue, whether that is the mouth, skin, eyes, or airway . If you are understandably concerned about using these chemicals around your family and pets or in the appliance in which you cook your food, make a DIY oven cleaner using baking soda instead! Baking soda is non-toxic, inexpensive, easy-to-use, and remarkably effective at cleaning oven grease. Baking soda, which is alkaline, works by neutralizing acids and breaking down the grease, allowing you to wipe it up without a lot of scrubbing or effort. It’s also a mild abrasive, so it works well at removing dried, stuck-on foods. Plus, in most cases, baking soda works its magic in just 15 minutes and you can use it immediately after cleaning! To get started, combine ½ cup baking soda and 3 tablespoons of water to make a paste roughly the consistency of pancake batter. Next, remove the racks from the oven. Using a rubber spatula or a gloved hand, smear the paste over the dirty parts, making sure to avoid the heating elements. Let the paste sit for 15-20 minutes before wiping up the paste and loosened dirt and grease with wet paper towels. Finally, wipe the oven’s interior with a wet paper towel, using water or a 3:1 mixture of water and distilled vinegar. Repeat if necessary for tougher stains! Without harsh fumes that can make you dizzy, caustic chemicals, or unpleasant odors, you can have a clean oven in as little as 15 minutes. Let baking soda break down your food stains for you, and all you must do is wipe it away!

7 Tips for Staying Hydrated This Summer-image

Water is one of most crucial elements for all living things. Every organ, cell, and tissue in our bodies use it to function properly, which is why drinking enough water every day is important. It can help control calories, keep your skin looking healthy, maintain normal bowel function, maintains the balance of body fluids and more . Not drinking enough water leads to dehydration, which can cause fatigue, thirst, lightheadedness, kidney stones and more . Because more water is lost through sweat during summer, it’s especially important to remember to stay hydrated in the warmer months. In recognition of National Hydration Day, here are 7 tips for staying hydrated this summer: Make Water Your Drink of Choice According to The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the adequate daily fluid intake for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate is about 15.5 cups a day for men and about 11.5 cups a day for women. To prevent dehydration and make sure your body has the fluids it needs, make water your beverage of choice. It's a good idea to drink a glass of water with each meal and between meals, before, during and after exercise and if you feel thirsty. Know the Signs of Dehydration Dehydration may be categorized as mild, moderate, and severe. Signs of mild or moderate dehydration include thirst, dry or sticky mouth, dark urine, headache, and muscle cramps. Anyone can get dehydrated, but the odds are higher for some people, including babies and young children, older adults, those who are ill, those who are breastfeeding, and people with chronic disease. If you think your symptoms of dehydration are severe, don’t hesitate to seek help! Dehydration can contribute to  kidney stones ,  kidney failure  and  heatstroke , all life-threatening illnesses. Call 911 or go to the emergency room right away if you have symptoms of severe dehydration . Eat Foods with High Water Content While drinking water itself is especially important for staying hydrated, you can also increase your water intake with the foods you eat. There are many healthy foods that can contribute a large amount of water to your diet, including watermelon, peaches, skim milk, celery, cottage cheese, and more ! Replenish When You Sweat The American Council on Exercise recommends drinking 7 to 10 ounces of fluid every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise. Remember to always carry a water bottle with you when exercising. This will allow you to take quick and easy sips of water during your workout. Limit Your Soda and Coffee Be careful about consuming too much caffeine or soda. Both caffeine and soda contain diuretic properties and too much can contribute to dehydration. Carry Around Water Always keep a bottle of water with you. Keep an easy-to-grab water bottle with you throughout your day and make sure that it's filled with plenty of water. Make Water More Appealing If you’re not a big water drinker and can’t seem to meet your recommended daily intake, try doing something to make your water more appealing to you. Add slices of fruit like lemon, lime, or orange. Infuse your water with fresh berries, Enhance your water with fresh mint. Jazz up that water so you make a healthier drink choice that still tastes good, looks appealing and quenches your thirst. Whatever the season, drinking water and staying hydrated should be part of your daily routine. Stay safe, cool, and hydrated this summer!
