7.Recognize Hypothermia With ‘Umble’ Words

8.BRAT for Upset Stomach?
One mnemonic you may know isn’t used anymore. BRAT stands for the diet that some doctors used to suggest for an upset tummy, especially for kids. These foods alone don’t have enough nutrients to help you get better. If you or your child have an upset stomach, eat what you normally do but stay away from spicy, fatty, or sugary foods. An over-the-counter electrolyte drink will help put back lost fluids.
