There are many foods that you may consider when it comes to feeding a pet. Sometimes, you might even slide them a few table scraps because it just feels like the right thing to do. Some of those foods can be highly beneficial for them, but other foods are toxic and can cause health issues for your pet. Here’s a list of seven foods that you should not feed your pet. 1. Xylitol It is a product found in baked goods, toothpaste, gum, candy, and other Xylitol sweetened foods. The substance can lead to liver failure, following an excessive insulin release into the body, subsequently causing lower sugar levels (hypoglycemia). The early signs include vomiting, loss of coordination, and lethargy in pets. These signs may progress into severe conditions like seizures, even elevated liver enzymes, and liver failure. 2. Yeast dough Adding yeast dough to your pet’s daily food supply can also be problematic. The food can lead to the accumulation of gas in the digestive system. The trapped gas may be painful and lead to bloating in the stomach and even threaten life. Further, yeast produces ethanol as a by-product which can even make a pet drunk. 3. Citrus foods Citrus foods such as citrus stems, peels, fruits, even seeds of plants contain various citric acids and essential oils.

Party cocktails are the perfect way to ensure each one of your guests has a drink in their hands. And a lot of popular crowd favorites don’t necessarily need many ingredients. You can make them in big batches. These cocktails can be made with your choice of alcohol, mixed with either fruit juices or fresh fruits. Here are five simple party recipes to make these visually appealing and simply delicious drinks: 1. Margarita A margarita is one of the more classic go-to cocktails, perfect for big party occasions. Nobody can resist a pitcher of margarita that is ready to be served in glasses with a salted rim. And it is really easy to make with a bunch of basic ingredients, including tequila, some orange-flavored liqueur, lime juice, and ice. Simply blitz all the ingredients and pour a fresh batch every time you need a refill. Garnish with a wedge of lime and drink away! 2. Sangria There are many different flavors that you can incorporate in a sangria, which makes it the ideal drink at parties. The pina colada sangria is a popular favorite made with white wine (preferably a Sauvignon Blanc), pineapple juice, seltzer, chopped pineapples, and coconut rum garnished with maraschino cherries.

Hot tubs and saunas are equally great for relaxing after a long hard day and soothing those tense muscles. You can use either of them to spend some quality time alone or with your family. But they’re also pretty different from each other. Knowing the key differences will not only ensure you pick the right one but also help you understand how to buy a hot tub or sauna for your home. 1. Installation Saunas need an enclosed but well-ventilated room to prevent mold growth on the walls. However, hot tubs don’t need a separate enclosure. You can install them outdoors – in your lawn or garden. But they need a power outlet and water supply. If you would like an indoor hot tub, a well-ventilated room is also required, as in a sauna. 2. Massages If you decide to buy a hot tub, you can adjust the speed of the spa jets and direct them to the troublesome areas in your body. A good hot tub jet massage can help alleviate stress, relax muscle pain, and ensure you sleep well. You might not be able to reap these benefits with a sauna. 3. Detox benefits If you’re looking for a way to detox regularly and have glowing skin, a sauna might be the answer.

Do you have chronic back pain or know at least two people who do? Unfortunately, this is incredibly common as according to the Global Burden of Disease Study, back pain is the leading cause of disability across the globe. What causes back pain? Though it is a precursor to many disabilities, back pain by itself is not a disease and is caused by bad posture, excessive stress, or a poor lifestyle. So, the good news is that it can be managed and even prevented. Let’s take a look at some sleeping positions that can help alleviate back pain. 1. Sleep on your side with a cushion between your knees This can help align your hips, pelvis, and spine. 2. Sleep in the fetal position This position is very helpful for those with a herniated disc (the condition leads to a disc being pushed out of its usual position). When you curl up and sleep in this position, the space between the vertebrae increases, increasing relief.
