4 Facts about germs in your home

Facts about germs

Germs are in your home right now.

Certain bacteria in the correct environment can divide every 20 minutes, spreading rapidly. Use FungiSolve to eliminate the spread and reoccurrence of bacteria and germs. 

Germs can make you sick.

Your immune system protects you against most micro-organisms. However, there are tons of different kinds of germs, and some of them, especially viruses, are good at mutating into things your body doesn't recognise.

It's easy to keep things clean.

With FungiSolve and FungiSolve for Pets stuff it takes minutes to disinfect your home.

Top areas to disinfect in your home:

1. Kitchen

Dish towels and sponges are especially problematic, because they hold moisture and we tend to use them for multiple tasks. The kitchen sink is a no-brainer and gets a lot of attention, but the faucet hardware gets just as dirty after you handle raw food or dirty dishes and then turn the water on and off. Other areas include the refrigerator door handle and cabinet knobs.

2. Handles and switches

This one seems obvious, but how often do you walk around your home and wipe off doorknobs, cabinet handles, and light switches? Once a week, give them a once-over using disinfecting wipes with FungiSolve.

3. Make up bag

Makeup applicators have nooks, crannies, and bristles that are prime real estate for micro organisms. And the germs that live there can lead to skin and eye infections. Regular soap and water is fine for cleaning most applicators, but you can use FungiSolve on the brushes just follow the instructions carefully and make sure you rinse before use.

4. Laundry 

Wet laundry left unattended in a machine, even for a short amount of time, is a hot spot for germs. Transfer clean clothes to the dryer immediately after they are done washing. If they do sit for more than 30 minutes, run them through the cycle again with FungiSolve to eliminate bacteria and odours.

If you use a laundry mat or a shared laundry facility, clean the washer drum with a disinfecting wipe soaked in FungiSolve. And be sure to disinfect with FungiSolve any surfaces you use to fold clothes.

By following these easy tips your home will be germ free. FungiSolve keeping your family safe from germs!

Tips on how to train longer for Comrades

What is DOMS?

It is the result of damage to the muscle cells during intense exercise.

This causes inflammation, swelling and tenderness as the muscles repair themselves.

How to prevent DOMS?

In order to reduce muscle soreness after a workout, it is necessary to do a proper warm up before exercising. This wakes up the muscles and prepares them for physical activity. It is also important to avoid pushing yourself past your physical limit and to build up your workouts gradually instead (hope you already been doing this Comrade’s runners!)

Understand that lactic acid causes the burning sensation during a workout and DOMS is damage to muscle cells and has a long-term effect.

Reducing lactic acid build up though it won't prevent DOMS, will help you to work out harder for longer, which is essential for any athlete training for a marathon.

How to prevent Lactic Acid Build up?

1. Stay hydrated.
   
2. Breathe deep while exercising (main cause of lactic acid build up, is lack of Oxygen while exercising).
   
3. Exercise frequently.
   
4. Stretch after workout.
   
5. Warm up before work out.
   
6. Increase your magnesium, fatty acid intake and drink baking soda dissolved in water to make your body alkaline.
   
7. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B.

Remedies for #tired #winter #feet

Remedy no. 1:
“Socks & Medipod”
This is the most effective way to have nicer, softer and smoother feet. Before going to bed, apply a generous amount of Medipod Foot Repair Cream to the dry areas of your feet and slip on a pair of cotton socks. Make sure you have washed all the bad bacteria out of your socks with FungiSolve. After a few nights, your feet will be noticeably softer and smoother and ready for the long winter ahead.

Remedy no. 2:
“Soak your feet in Salt water”
Take a tub, fill it with lukewarm water and add some salt in it. Then, soak your feet into the water for about 15 to 20 minutes. After that, rinse your feet properly and apply your favorite Medipod lotion. Yes! Easy as that.

Remedy No. 3:
“Scrub Scrub Scrub”
Exfoliation will remove dead skin and will eliminate micro-organisms that cause infection and bad odour. If you not up for that Medipod Foot Repair takes care of infection and odour. Dispense a good amount of foot scrub on your fingers and massage your foot in circular motions. Concentrate more on the fingers and heels.
Rinse off the scrub and pat dry with a towel. Finish off with applying your favorite Medipod lotion and you are done!

Pregnant and scared of germs?

Pets can spread infection

All animals carry germs. Illnesses common among house pets — such as distemper, canine parvovirus, and heartworms — can't be transmitted to humans.

But pets also carry certain bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can cause illness if transmitted to their owners. Owners get these animal-borne diseases when they're scratched or have contact with an animal's waste, saliva, etc...

They're of greatest concern to young children, infants, pregnant women, and people whose immune systems have been compromised by illness or disease. Infants and kids younger than 5 years old are at risk because their immune systems are still developing, and some infections that might make an adult just mildly sick can be more serious for them.

Healthy Home, Healthy Pets, Healthy Family

You don't have to give up your pets! 
Simply wash your floors, linen, pet accessories and any area's your pet has come into contact with, with FungiSolve for Pets Stuffs.


FungiSolve for Pets Stuffs prevents recontamination of infections

This past Saturday we celebrated #EarthHourZA and made a pledge to
#UpCycleCans not only is here a picture of our pledge we also want to
inform you of the natural ingredients in Medipod Foot Repair Cream.

One of our ingredients in Medipod Foot Repair Cream is Vitamin E:

With the outdoor environment we always expose our skin to wind, air
conditioners, indoor heating system, etc... Dry skin will eventually lead to flaky skin, it makes our skin look dull and lifeless. It will also
cause the skin to develop micro cracks and flakes, which will let
foreign objects in the air, bacteria and various forms of harmful
irritants to damage our skin.

This is what vitamin E is for, to provide ample nutrients and keep the skin healthy and beautiful.

How it works:
When creams and lotions containing vitamin E is topically applied on
the skin, the alpha-tocopherol form slips through the epidermis down
into the skin cells. When it’s inside the skin tissue, they start to be
converted into free tocopherol, a known antioxidant, which helps the
skin get rid of toxins and make it healthy.

There are also specific formulations of vitamin E skin care products that are best for special type of skin care treatments, such as targeting skin areas prone to dryness, such as hands and
heels. Some formulations are even used for scar reduction and
even stretch marks. Lotions with vitamin E are good for protecting your
skin from the harmful UV rays from the sun.

• Dryness
• Dehydration
• Inflammation

It is an important component of skin
moisturization, which is naturally found in youthful skin but starts

Urea makes up about 8.5% of our skins natural moisturizer.
When our skin is exposed to low humidity and harsh environmental conditions, the water content in the skin tissues is reduced therefore we need to replace this moisture in harsh conditions.

- The Atlantic

“Staph has been spread in locker rooms by towel snapping. If he's got turf burn on his leg and you've got the bacteria on the towel, he can become infected.”
- Men’s Health

“All athletes are predisposed to the bug because they have close contact with one another in locker rooms. They share equipment, and, of course, collision sports lead to abrasions and open the skin, which provides a portal of entry for bacteria.”
- Men’s Journal

Runner's feet

After recently setting up a FREE Foot Massage tent at the  Milkwood Run, we realised that alot of runners don't look after there feet. They want to be pampered but possible don't have the time.

Here's a bit of knowledge on how fungal infections start:
A fungal nail infection generally starts out as a slight yellowish tinge to the nail, or even a white spot. But as the fungus begins to spread and mature, it can turn a yellow, green or even black colour. Because the nail is designed to be strong, removing an infection from the nail bed can be tricky.

Prevention:

1. Drying thoroughly between your toes after a bath or shower is a good idea. 
2. It's also worth keeping your nails trimmed - cut straight across (especially for runners), not going too close to the skin. 
3. Shoes that allow your feet to breathe and your toes to wiggle prevent the conditions that fungus thrives in. 
4. Use Medipod Foot Repair Cream, it is a 2 minute a day spa in a tube. The 4 in 1 Foot Repair Cream  will keep your feet smooth and provides a 24h protection from bacteria and fungus.
5. Wash your shoes in FungiSolve, 60% of people suffer from skin infections of the feet, and/or toenails. FungiSolve stops reinfection in Athlete's foot. 

Symptoms:

Early on, the fungal organisms (dermatophytes) create a white spot or yellow tinge to the nail, usually on the top or at its side. The nail can then grow thicker before starting to crumble away.

Bacteria causes odour, FungiSolve gets rid of bacteria!

No matter how often you shower or how clean your home is, you can't help but to coexist with bacteria. They live on your skin and in your body, but don't try to eradicate them all however. The right balance of friendly bacteria can help protect us from such problems as inflammatory bowel syndrome, ulcers and tooth decay. 

FungiSolve gets rid of all bad bacteria in your clothing, so even if you sweat it doesn't cling to the clothing which gives you that terrible B.O smell! It also gets rid of bacteria on your floors that cause that black mould which makes you sick (mostly found in wet/humid areas such as Kwa-Zulu Natal).

Healthy skin, for example, is home to a diverse array of normal flora. 

Scientists at the National Human Genome Research Institute have identified about 1,000 different species of bacteria living on it (compared to about 500 to 1,000 species of bacteria who call our gut home) [Source: Grice]. 

The ratio of microbes to skin cells is about 10 to 1, and the most common species on our skin is the Staphylococcus bacteria, including Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus hominis. You'll also find Propionibacterium acnes, which causes acne, along with Micrococcus luteus, Arcanobacterium haemolyticum, strains of Brevibacterium bacteria, and bacteria from the Corynebacterium and Dermabacter groups.

Bacteria are also the source of body odour. Surprised? We blame sweat for our odour, but what you smell after you work out or when you're stressed is the odour of bacteria metabolising the sweat, not the sweat itself.

Our bodies produce sweat from two different types of glands, eccrine and apocrine. We have about 3 million eccrine glands, which are found in our skin and secrete sweat to cool our bodies. This sweat is mostly made up of water and salt. Apocrine glands work a little differently. There are about 2,000 of these glands, primarily found in our hair follicles. When we're stressed (physically or emotionally) they produce a sweat rich with proteins and fatty acids, including a carbohydrate called sialomucin. Sialomucin is a glycoprotein, a protein that has a sugar coating.

Many bacteria have a sweet tooth, and monosaccharides (simple sugars) such as glucose are a go-to food source. Through a process called cellular respiration, the bacteria on our skin break down the sialomucin to be used as a source of energy. Depending on the type of bacteria, this energy could be derived by fermentation, aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration. A byproduct of bacteria metabolising our sweat is body odour.

Different bacteria produce different odours as they digest sugars. Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus epidermidis, for example, contribute to foot odor [source: Ara et al]. S. epidermidis is one of the species that contributes to underarm odor, along with Corynebacterium xerosis and others [source: Dumas et al].

For most people, over-the-counter deodorant, which makes the underarm area less hospitable to these and other bacteria, is enough to prevent body odour but if the smell persist, especially in your sports gear, then clean with FungiSolve to get rid of the reoccurring odours.

Embrace bare feet this Valentines Day
Many celebrities have been known to embrace bare feet. 
Recently at a Fashion Week presentation, a bare-footed Katie Holmes urged fashion editors to take their shoes off, saying that her own feet hurt. The initial response in the fashion world is one of outrage and disgust* but we salute her for giving her feet a deserved rest.  

The soles of your feet are the most conductive areas on the surface of the human body therefore walking bare foot is the cheapest and easiest ways to help ground yourself. 
Why not take a walk through the park or on a sandy beach to help connect with the earth this Valentine's Day. If like most of us this seems like a bit of an odd thing to do in public, why not try it out in the privacy of your own home?

Tip: Walking around on your garden lawn with your toes between the grass will help make you feel energised and in the colder winter months simply walking on your wooden flooring will help you feel more connected to the earth. 

At night before bed apply Medipod Foot Repair Cream to your feet. It is a 2-minute a day foot spa in a tube.

Exercise is good for the mind and feet
Some exercise can be more beneficial if it’s done barefoot such as yoga, Pilates and dancing, which can all be done in the comfort of your own home. When you get in from work kick off your shoes and relax with some yoga or Pilates. Doing these kinds of exercise barefoot helps you relax and will make your feet feel unrestricted. 

Love your feet, give them a healthy start.

People often neglect the most important part of their body, their feet. 
The constant pressure they are under, carrying your whole body weight for up to 10,000 steps a day! 

Here is some advice on how to learn to love your feet and keep them happy. #HealthyFeetHappyFeet

Natural foot care remedies

The state of your feet is known to affect your whole body so it’s important to show our feet a bit of love and attention. Pedicures, scrubs and moisturising regularly will ensure your feet get the attention they deserve. You will not only feel relaxed but your feet will look great too!

Tip:  To save money make a homemade scrub by mixing sea salt and olive oil and add a few drops of essential oil for an extra touch. Peppermint will cool down hot, aching feet; rosemary oil will help to warm cold feet and aid circulation. 

But if you want a quick fix: Buy Medipod Foot Repair Cream, it is a 2-minute a day foot spa in a tube. It has tea-tree oil which has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and will help to treat any nasty fungal infections.

DIY ReflexologyThe art of reflexology is to help alleviate various ailments through massaging the feet. Research shows that there is a direct correlation with bad foot care and problems such as back ache and knee problems and found that 80% of women in Britain have suffered from foot problems due to ill-advised footwear. 
Therefore it is important to take note of changes in our feet as this could indicate problems elsewhere. Holistic Masseuse, Carolina Laugh has given us some great tips on how to look after your feet through reflexology.

• Moisturise plenty- this will help calluses, broken heels and dry skin. Medipod foot repair cream works really well as well as normal foot cream. 

• Massage with your thumbs applying a firm pressure, while using Medipod foot repair cream as it warms the bones from the inside and refreshes the feet.

• Rolling your feet over a tennis ball or an unopened can on the floor is an easy and effective way to massage your feet at home.

• Concentrate on your big toe for respite related to you head.

• Did you know that toes are related to sinus? So if you are suffering take time on each toe for sinus relief.

• Many of us suffer with aches and pains in our back so focus on the arch of your foot for soothing this area.

• Your left foot is linked to your liver; right foot to your heart and the ball of your foot is aligned with your lungs, so again focus on the relevant one dependent on your body’s needs.

• If you have been having troubles with your digestive system pay most attention to the middle area of your foot as this is associated with digestion.

How to apply the 5 second rule.

1. Faster is better — but it may not be fast enough. Although a piece of food does pick up more bacteria the longer it's on the floor, bacteria can attach to it instantly. So any food that makes contact with the floor can get contaminated if conditions are right. And foods with wet surfaces, like an apple slice, pick up bacteria easily.

1. No need to worry if your floors are clean but if they aren't simply clean your floors with FungiSolve you can be assured the 5 second rule can be applied.

Babies, Pets and Germs

Don't worry about:

1) Food on the carpet or floors. As long as you clean your floors on a regular basis with FungiSolve for Pets Stuff. The germs that do populate aren't likely to be harmful. If the floor is wet however it is best to remove your baby from the floor. Mold, mildew and bacteria breeds in moist areas.

Studies show they are less likely to become allergic later on to pets in their first year. However uneaten pet food especially when wet, pet toys and half eaten chewed treats must be disinfected with FungiSolve for Pets Stuff or removed as these may make your baby sick.

Why should I care about germs?

Mostly if you have pets at home as well as children it is best to try and get rid of as many germs and bacteria that your pets carry around and so preventing your children from getting those particular viruses caused by germs.

Pets carry germs on their coats as well as in their mouths, sometimes it is harder to wash your pets than it is to clean up around them. 

Our quick and easy way to prevent bacteria from spreading to your children is by washing all pet accessories with FungiSolve for Pets Stuff. 

All you have to do is take your pet accessories and linen (if your pets sleep on your beds, wash this linen to) throw them in the washing machine with a capsule of FungiSolve for Pets Stuff and let the machine do the rest. 

This way when your children go to bed at night or pick up the pets toys they will be less likely to pick up any viruses. 

Prevent staph infection at your college dorm

What Is a Staph Infection?

Staph is the shortened name for Staphylococcus (pronounced: staf-uh-low-KAH-kus), a type of bacteria. These bacteria can live harmlessly on many skin surfaces, especially around the nose, mouth, genitals, and anus. But when the skin is punctured or broken for any reason, staph bacteria can enter the wound and cause an infection.

How Do People Get Staph Infections?

In teens, most staph infections are minor skin infections. People with skin problems like burns or eczema may be more likely to get staph skin infections.

People can get staph infections from contaminated objects, but staph bacteria often spread through skin-to-skin contact — the bacteria can be spread from one area of the body to another if someone touches the infected area.

Staph infections can spread from person to person in group living situations (like college dorms). Usually this happens when people with skin infections share things like bed linens, towels, or clothing. Warm, humid environments can contribute to staph infections, so excessive sweating can increase someone's chances of developing an infection.

How To Prevent Staph Infections?

Clean bed linen, bath mats, towels, clothing and any other linen in FungiSolve. Throw it in the wash with one capsule of FungiSolve on cold wash and let the machine do the rest. FungiSolve also removes odour in material if you are prone to excessive sweating.
