Sweet Memories
These days all you hear about is how to eat healthier, lose weight and get fit. It s all for the good, but sometimes it s fun to go back to when you were a kid. Remember all the games you used to play. Board games like Scrabble, Monopoly and Life. Running around, riding bikes, skating, rolling down grassy hills. Ok, I m getting a little idealized here. So let s have a little fun. Let s remember the candy. What were your favorites. I remember the delight of the days when I was first old enough to go to the store to buy candy on my own.

Acid Reflux Disease In Infants
The lower end of the esophagus is protected by a valve called the Lower Esophageal sphincter LES . This valve opens to allow food from the esophagus into the stomach and then closes up to protect the esophagus from the acid content of the stomach. Several conditions can compromise this valve, allowing gastric content into the esophagus. As in adults, infants also suffer from heartburn on occasions. This is mainly attributed to the fact that infants consume essentially liquid and soft foods, which tend to be rich in diary proteins. The most unfortunate part of infant acid reflux disease is that, unlike in adults, it is very difficult to determine if an infant has developed chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. An infant is most unlikely to be able to complain of heartburn or any symptoms of the disease. Acid reflux in infants is always as a result of a lot of factors, however, most of the causative factors tend to be aggravated by the fact that infants...
