Drink Zyn: CURCUMIN from Turmeric in a bottle

What is the difference between CURCUMIN and Turmeric?  To put it simply, Turmeric is a root (like Ginger) known to have healing benefits.  CURCUMIN is the bio-active source of Turmeric’s healing power and exactly what your body needs.

CURCUMIN is not readily absorbed by the human body when Turmeric is consumed by itself — for example in a tea or a juice.  ZYN combines CURCUMIN with PIPERINE, which is an extract from black pepper, which is known to increase absorption of the CURCUMIN by 2000% (according to academic and scientific research).  This means that the MOST beneficial ingredient within Turmeric will be absorbed so you get all of the healing benefits.

Research shows CURCUMIN has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. What are the harmonizing health benefits of CURCUMIN?

  • Aids in blocking effects of Glaucoma and Cataracts in some research
  • Contains anti-inflammatory properties, helping in some ways with relief from arthritis, joint pain, psoriasis, colitis
  • Reported to have health benefits and potential cardioprotective effect along with COPD and Hypertension
  • CURCUMIN may represent a new horizon in managing iron overload-induced toxicity 
  • A very promising new therapeutic option for the treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases
  • Studies are promising in the potential that CURCUMIN can be a future drug of therapy for the treatment of various neurological disorders such as major depression, tardive dyskinesia and diabetic neuropathy

The ZYN drinks are one of the best ways I have found to get all you need for proper absorption of Turmeric and the right amount of the CURCUMIN from the Turmeric root. The flavors are fantastic. Of the 4 flavors, I like Pomegranate Cranberry best.

5 DIY Valentine’s Gifts for the Classroom

Our youngest is 10 and even in 5th grade the kids still love the holiday gifts that arrive for celebrations. I showed up to the classroom on the last day before the Christmas holiday with donuts from the grocery bakery and you would have thought I brought a movie star with me!

“Whoa! Do we all get 1 whole donut?”

“Thank you so much!! The donuts are our favorite”

They were so excited I kind of felt guilty. Other kids brought in so many great sweets and treats and the kids were drooling over these donuts like it was all they needed. Then as they got their donut and the rest of the kids handed out there items, there was another popular treat.

The only handmade item (the rest were typical store bought cookies and cupcakes) was a boys homemade cookie treats and the kids began admiring those. They weren’t store bought and they were unique so the kids were intrigued. Even at grade 5, the kids still appreciate the effort and uniqueness of DIY class gifts.

So, I have not totally made up my mind of what to send with Anthony for Valentine’s Day but here are my favorite DIY Valentine’s Gifts for the Classroom right now I have saved into my bookmarked pages.

1. Fruit Snacks Valenties

I found these on Domestic Executive Online and in her Free Valentine’s Printable post she has this fun idea for fruit snacks. Cheap and easy!

2. Goldfish “Hooked On You” Valentines

This is so fun and also very inexpensive. All you need is some goldfish crackers, baggies and the instructions from Frugal Coupon Living’s post for these fun free Valentine’s printables!

3. Capri Sun with Cupid’s Arrow Messages

Like I mentioned above, I attended my son’s 5th grade class holiday party and with 30 kids who brought treats, no one brought drinks and us adults were running for water for very sugar-high thirsty kids! This is a fun idea I found from Joy’s Life for this fun drink Valentines printable.

4. Crayon DIY Printable

Boxes of crayons are a great non-food gift for the kids of all ages. I found this free crayon printable for this Color My World Valentine from Dreaming in DIY.

5. Peel the Love Valentine

Want to bring the healthier treat? This is a fun free Valentine’s printable from Happy Money Saver for cuties oranges

HINT launches kid-friendly Tetra boxes that help children drink more water

With a 10 year old who has ongoing constipation and digestion issues, drinking water is the number 1 thing he can do to lessen his symptoms. He is on a Miralax regimen and for that to work, water is imperative. The big problem is he hates drinking water. It is such a fight to get him to drink a healthy amount. I needed a solution that works to help children drink more water and HINT was my answer.

HINT water for kids comes in four fruit flavors, Watermelon, Cherry, Blackberry and Apple. Hydrate your thirsty kids with our refreshing fruit-flavored waters that contains no juice, sugar or sweeteners.

HINT kids waters are available at drinkhint.com, and soon at Costco and grocery and specialty stores nationwide. I also found it on Amazon. This is a long-awaited water for parents like me who struggle to get water down their kids with no other option but sugar juices!
