i dont really understand your question. But if you are trying to say is that you want to give kids a healthy treat then i have the perfect treat. At your nearest whole foods there are m&m-like things that are actually better for you, and taste so much better. They might be called SunDrops, but that is just a guess. I hope this helps!!

My kids love the Dole fruit pops. (so do I) They are sweet but 100% fruit. There is also a trail mix I buy with raisins, nuts, and m&m. They like strawberries and cherries. They are 10 and 11. Hope I helped.
4 :
Dried fruit. Ice cream is good in small amounts. Cut up fruit pieces. Cut up vegi pieces. Homemade pizza, you control the toppings and sauces. I am trying to think of a healthy drink made from fizzy water. Make the frozen limeade with the fizzy water, there won't be caffeine and the sugar content is lower.
5 :
I have a list of healthy snacks, and some breakfast ideas that serves as snacks, but you will have to prepare them yourself. http://lclfhfhpsnacks.blogspot.com http://lclfhfhpbreakfastideas.blogspot.com My two boys eat them and they are lean and healthy.

Is diarrhea one of the side effects of urinary tract health food for cats

Is diarrhea one of the side effects of urinary tract health food for cats?
Our cat had a urinary blockage a few months back and at our vet's suggestion we purchased Purina One's Urinary Tract Health Formula. This took care of his strained (sometimes non-existent) urination, but he has now developed fairly frequent diarrhea. He doesn't exhibit any other signs of distress/illness, so I'm fairly convinced that this isn't the sign of something more serious. I'm wondering how serious the diarrhea itself is and if there's anything simple we can do to treat it. I have considered switching the food, which I'll try after this batch runs out. Thanks in advance! This isn't the recalled food. It's dry food, and to the best of my knowledge, the recall is for wet food only. Plus, the Purina One brand wasn't affected. Thanks for the answer though.

you don't have that recalled food do you? i hope not!!!!

I would check with your vet...If your going to try and change food, dont do it all at once...Add the new food with the one your baby is eating now...Then slowly decrease old food...
3 :
I don't know that it's a given that that food will cause it. However, I did feed that to both my cats for the first 2 years of their lives. I mixed it with Purina's Weight Management about 1/2 and 1/2. Poppy ALWAYS had loose stool. Not diarrhea, but always loosey goosey. Sophie has always been fine. When I switched them to Natural Balance canned, Sophie stayed the same but Poppy improved IMMENSELY. No more weekly butt washing for me! We were both happy about that. I recently had to give in and give her some dry food again (she went on strike). Since I wasn't about to completely lower my standards, I mixed it in with Evo. I had to buy Purina, and I chose the UTI one since that was partly what I fed before. She's been getting about 1/4 cup per day of the two mixed together, and almost immediately her stool softened again. So I guess my point is - it's not a hard and fast rule, but it quite likely disagrees with your cat, just as it did with mine. I'm now decreasing the amount of dry food they get, and I'll be cutting back on the Purina portion as well. What I recommend to you is to first take a stool sample to the vet for analysis to rule out anything else. If nothing is found, I really recommend doing some research and changing your cat's diet. It's well documented that cats who eat moist (canned or raw) diets are less likely to suffer from urinary tract issues. This is because they are taking in adequate water in their food. Cats have low thirst drives and most do not drink enough water. Just like humans, water intake is important to urinary health. So if your cat is getting enough moisture in his food, his urine will be less concentrated (and less smelly!) and UTI's will be less frequent.

Can you feed rats regular yogurt chips like you buy in a health food store

Can you feed rats regular yogurt chips like you buy in a health food store?
I keep reading about people feeding their rats yogurt drops as a treat. Wondering if there is a special kind I need to buy or if I can buy the kinds from the bin in the health food store.

You can feed one or two a day, but not too much. It wont hurt them its just not that great for them, Great treat tho!
2 :
rats can eat just about anything, except meats and sugars and a few other things. i have had rats for years and i have always fed them table scraps. of course i feed them nutrient rich pellets as their main diet. i have had a number of my rats live to be over 5 years old. i never really thought that was old for rats, i just assumed that was normal, but reading around on the internet and friends experiences, most rats live only to between 3 and 4 so whatever people say about not feeding rats table scraps that often, well it has worked for me so im not changing. so im sure you can feed them yogurt chips you buy from a health food store
3 :
Yes, you can. They love yogurt, and just about anything they don't get on a daily basis. I would recommend Yogurt Drops... I get them from Petsmart. They can have lots of foods, you just have to be careful and maybe do some research before you try giving them some new foods. Here are some things I give my rats: lettuce (NO ICE BURG LETTUCE!!) carrots yogurt/yogurt drops bananas grapes cheese hope i helped ! :)

What's the best herbal supplement I can get at a health food store or GNC that will increase male libido?
Just need something to increase libido and/or testosterone. Nothing for ED or impotence. Just want to increase the interest/drive. I want something I can get at a local health food store that's a natural herb and is safe to take.

I recommend coconut oil. It works best when rubbed into your breasts and other intimate areas, and he does the rubbing. Chocolate sauce can work pretty well too.

Is raw meat from an average health food store irradiated

Is raw meat from an average health food store irradiated?
Hi, I would like to know if raw, organic meat from a health food store is irradiated as I recently have learned that it sometimes is. Can you give me a reliable source? Thanks.

Certified organic meat should never be irradiated as that would be against the USDA regulations that expressly ban irradiation of organic meats (and all other organic foods). Not certified organic meat not bought direct from the farmer likely is irradiated To be really safe buy your meats direct from the farmer http://www.localharvest.org http://www.eatwild.org more information on irradiation in meats and organic foods. http://www.organicconsumers.org http://www.acresusa.com check out the book Zapped by Winona Hauter which is all about this subject. http://www.fwwatch.org/blog/topics/Zapped

no, you need a prescription for it- meaning you most likely wont find it in a health food store, but rather in a pharmacy... you can also find it online if you search google for phentermine
