Cristina’s daughter Alex is in the kitchen talking about her gluten-free diet and how it has changed her life. Today, she is cooking Baja Styled Fried Fish Tacos with Chipotle Sauce and Cilantro Lime Slaw. When she makes a heavily fried dish, she loves pairing it with a light and bright salad to balance the meal out.

Preventing Ice-Related Head Injuries in Children
Dr. JJ opens up about head injuries in children during the winter months. Almost half of winter sports injuries are head-related. She encourages children to wear helmets whenever they are participating in sports on ice and recommends mouth guards, which help reduce the force of impact to the head. If a child does have an injury to the head that results in concussion, vomiting, dizzying, headache, trouble concentrating and loss of consciousness, go the ER to get them checked out, immediately.
