A Better Juice For Your Sick Baby

A sick tummy got your baby down? It may be time for a change of juice. Researches have found that children recover more quickly from diarrhoea when they drink white grape juice than when they stick to those high chair standards, apple and pear. They're also less likely to experience a recurrence on the white grape. Apparently, the sugar and carbohydrate composition of white grape juice is better for digestive system (and a lot less challenging in the laundry department than its purple cousin) . Apple and pear juices naturally contain sorbitol (an indigestible carbohydrate that can cause gas, bloating and discomfort) and a higher amount of fructose than glucose, while grape juice is sorbitol free and has an even balance of glucose to fructose.

Before switching to white grape juice though, discuss it with the doctor who might recommend water or rehydration liquids instead. In some cases, too much of any type of juice can create tummy troubles.

Usability Challenge 2008

Join the Usability Challenge 2008 and participate in the world’s first global usability drive!
On 1 August 2008, we are asking anyone with a passion for usability to solve a usability problem…any usability problem at all…and help make the world a better/safer/less annoying place.
What you need to do on 1 August 2008 is:
1. Find a usability problem - it could be a poorly designed toaster, a confusing or redundant letter from your bank, or even a problem with your experience boarding, flying and disembarking an aeroplane.

2. Design a solution - solve the usability problem, and write your solution down, sketch it up or (if you’re feeling particularly keen) make a quick prototype of the improved product/service.

3. Share it with a person who can solve the problem by implementing your solution - write to the toaster designer, call your bank manager, or talk to a stewardess. Hand him/her your idea. Encourage them to implement it. Be persuasive! and don’t forget to post what you’ve done on the Google Group or the Facebook group. Find out more about the Usability Challenge
