  • Eating Well While Dealing With Morning Sickness

    There are a few women out there in this world who sail through their pregnancy without so much of glimpse of queasiness.  The rest of us have no such luck.  Chances are you are the type of women who the mere smell of what use to be your favorite food sends you running to the nearest toilet.  The mere sight of steak can send you heaving and just thinking about eating that salad turns you greener than the romaine lettuce it contains.   You probably curse the silly fool who named it “morning sickness” when all pregnant women know it is more like all day sickness.

    There are different degrees of morning sickness.  Each woman and each pregnancy is different.  I spent the first three months of my first pregnancy over a toilet and unable to look at any sort of vegetable or meat.  However I made it through my second pregnancy with only a few spurts to the bathroom and hardly any aversions.  The good news is though, this is usually only temporary.  Most women start feeling better between their 12th and 14th week of pregnancy.  Even better news is that your baby is handling this much better than you are. As hard as it is to eat healthy during this period there are some things you can do to help ease your discomfort.

    For starters, eat often.  It has been shown that an empty stomach tends to make your morning sickness even worse.  This is why so many of us feel so bad when we first wake up.  We’ve had nothing in our system which means our stomach acids are going crazy since nothing is there to soak them up.  The trick to this is to eat often.  Try eating six mini meals a days and make sure you have plenty of snacks.  Make sure you eat often in bed.  Before you go to bed for the night have a snack that is high in protein and in carbs such as nuts and raisins,  yogurt and bread stick or a cheese and crackers.   Keep a stash of crackers or ginger cookies by your bed and make sure you have one before you even think about getting out of bed in the morning.

    You will always want to eat mainly carbs and protein.  Stick with crackers or fruit to give you some comfort during those first few months.  Other good snacks are pretzels, saltines and whole grain toast.  For fruits stick with melons and bananas.  For your protein add a little cheese or some nuts to your snacks or any time you are feeling a little green.  Yogurt is also an excellent choice when fighting morning sickness also.

    Make sure you drink your water.  If you are vomiting it is essential that you stay hydrated.  Making sure you stay hydrated is probably more important that making sure you eat those first few months.  Becoming dehydrated can cause a problem for you and your little one so make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water or juice through out the day.  You can also suck on ice chips or fruit juice popsicles if you are having problems keeping liquids down.

    The most important thing to keep in mind those first three months is not to beat yourself up if you can not eat as healthy as you would like to.  You will still have plenty of time to make up for it after you get through this storm.   Just make smart choices when it comes to what you eat and snack on and that will pave the way for when you can eat as a normal person.

  • Eating Well For You During Your Pregnancy

    Eating healthy throughout your pregnancy is the greatest gift you could give your unborn baby, but there are also a lot of rewards in it for you to.  It’s common for many moms to be to forget that they also benefit in eating healthy through out their pregnancy.  What you eat has a direct effect as to how well your body copes and recovers from all the physical changes it goes through.  It also helps with the physical and emotional challenge of carrying and delivering a baby.

    The truth is, most pregnant women rarely walk around all nine months with that rosy glow everyone talks about.   The first three months some of us walk around a nasty shade of green and in a hazy fog thanks to the tiredness we feel those first three months.  The second three months are a little better, and we are no longer green but we deal with other issues such as varicose veins and leg cramps.

    The third trimester, we are back to the hazy fog again and have other issues such as swelling and heartburn just to name a few.  Some of these can be avoided with a good diet.  Eating foods that have some complex carbs can help reduce your tiredness and staying away from fatty foods will help with the heartburn.

    Research has shown that pregnant women who eat healthy throughout their pregnancy usually have a safe and uncomplicated pregnancy.  Studies have shown that some pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia or high blood pressure can be directly related to deficiencies in a pregnant woman’s diet.  High amounts of sugar and polyunsaturated fats increase this risk as well as having a low intake of vitamin c, e and magnesium.

    Perhaps for some women one of the biggest benefits of eating healthy during their pregnancy is that it could help you during labor and delivery.  A well balanced pregnancy diet has been said to help prevent preterm labor, which is labor before 37 weeks.  A good diet can also help you cope with labor and delivery better.  Any woman who has given birth knows how much energy it takes to endure hours of contractions and sometimes hours of pushing.   Eating healthy will ensure that you have the energy and the stamina to get through your little one’s delivery.

    Once you have delivered your little one, it is still important to continue your good habit of healthy eating especially in the postpartum period.  Your body needs a lot of resources to recover from all the stretching, blood loss and not mention sleep deprivation and still take care of a newborn.  It is just as important in the months following your delivery to continue to eat well.  As my doctor put it, it is essential to eat as though you were pregnant for at least three months after delivery.

    A final added bonus to eating healthy throughout your pregnancy is that you may never stop eating healthy.  This is setting up the groundwork for a lifetime of eating healthy for not only you but for your children.  If you continue to eat healthy you are setting a prime example for your children.

  • Eating Well Even After Your Pregnancy

    Congratulations and welcome to parenthood.  Your body has gone through a lot these past nine months and it still has a while to go before it is back to normal.  The next few months are going to give you and your body a whole new set of challenges especially if you are a first time parent.  Recovering from childbirth is exhausting and when you throw a new baby who has no concept of time into the mix and you might find your head spinning.  Eating well during this time is almost as important as eating well during your pregnancy.

    Your body has just been through a traumatic ordeal.  If you gave birth vaginally, you mind find yourself recovering from tears and what not.  If you gave birth via c-section, you are recovering from major surgery.   The first thing most hospitals and doctors like to make sure is that your plumbing and waste systems are working.

    Eating high fiber food and drinking lots of water after your delivery will help make that first bowel movement a lot less painful.  This can be a little hard for women who delivery via c-section because they are usually on a liquid diet for the first 24 hours. You may find you need a little help from either stool softeners or prune juice to make that first trip a little easier.

    Once you are home from the hospital, you are going to need your energy to take care of the baby.   Gone are the nights where you were able to get a full 8 hours of sleep.  You might not see that again for at least three months,  though ask any parent and they will tell you that getting 8 hours of sleep a night will not happen until your kids are grown and married. Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on you and it is important that you eat healthy to maintain a decent amount of energy.

    The postpartum period is usually where most women find themselves downing countless amounts of coffee or sugary foods to give them a quick fix. This is not healthy because once you come down from that high, you are going to be even more exhausted than you were before hand.  Make sure all of your meals are balanced meals and stock up on quick and healthy snacks such as celery sticks, baby carrots and lots of fruit to get you through the day.

    Eating healthy can also help you fight the baby blues those first few weeks.  Nearly 80% of all women suffer from baby blues.  These usually kick in between the 4th and 5th day after delivery and can last for 10 days to 2 weeks.  You may find yourself emotional for no reason and you may start to cry for no reason.

    Some women report a feeling of sadness that they are no longer pregnant and others report a feeling of helplessness when it comes to dealing with their new baby.  The baby blues are caused by your hormone levels going back to normal.  By maintaining your healthy habits that you practiced during your pregnancy could help you handle your changing emotions a little better.

    Pregnancy is tough and the post partum period is just as tough.  Make sure you take the best care of yourself as possible during this time.  Eat right and continue to take your prenatal vitamin to make sure your baby is going to get the best care you are capable of.

  • Eating Well For Your Baby

    Congratulations, you are pregnant!  The next nine months are going to be an exciting time, not just for you but for your growing baby!  Think of all the things a baby has to accomplish in only nine (ten) short months.  They start as a single cell and then divide at an enormous rate.  Their organs develop, the heart forms and starts beating and all five senses form.

    Basically your baby goes from a little blob that can’t be seen with the human eye into a seven, eight, nine or even ten pound adorable newborn baby.  In order for your baby to develop as healthy as possible, your diet should play a big part.  This is because your diet is how your baby is going to receive all the vitamins, minerals, protein and fluids that he or she needs to grow and develop.  The best thing you and any other pregnant mother can do for your growing baby is to eat as healthy as you possibly can.  Let us look at all the benefits eating well can do for your baby.

    First, eating right is going to help your baby’s organ development.  Your baby only has a short time to develop vital organs such as their heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys.  Eating a diet that lacks vitamin D or calcium can interfere with your baby’s bone and tooth growth.

    Next eating too lightly through out pregnancy might stop your baby from growing as it should in your uterus.   You might find yourself measuring behind for where you should be in your pregnancy.  Small babies are at a greater risk for healthy problems once they are born.  On the other hand, eating to much can cause your baby to grow too big to fast.  Babies who are measuring ahead are at a greater risk for delivery complications.  Babies who are too big usually can not be delivered vaginally without the assistance of instruments such as forceps or a vacuum.  Some women are forced to have a cesarean section because they can not deliver their baby vaginally.

    Some research has been done that shows what you eat during pregnancy can affect your baby’s eating habits down the line.  Babies can taste and get use to the flavors from food that makes its way into the amniotic fluid.    It is quiet possible that your baby will have a preference for certain foods before they even take that first spoonful of solids.  By making sure your diet contains a lot of vegetables and fruit can help ensure that your baby will enjoy eating that went he time comes.

    Also, as hard to believe as it is, some studies have shown that what you are eating can contribute to your baby’s personality.  Research has shown that babies born to mothers who were under-nourished tend to smile less and are drowsier compared to those who at healthy.  Also, studies have shown that moms who consumed enough omega-3 acids during their final trimester have babies who showed healthier sleep patterns than other babies.

    Lastly, your baby’s brain needs you to eat healthy especially during the last trimester.  Unlike the rest of your baby’s organs, the brain has its greatest growth spurt during the third trimester.  This is the best time to eat protein, calories and omega-3 fatty acids.  These ensure optimum brain development.

    There has never been a more important time to eat healthy than pregnancy.  Eating healthy while pregnant is the best gift you can give your child to be.

  • Eating to Conceive

    Almost every woman knows that it is important to eat well while you are pregnant. The benefit it provides you and your baby is invaluable. But, do you also know how important it is to eat well even before you get pregnant?  If you are actively trying to get pregnant you have to make sure your body is prepared to accept the challenge.  The first thing you should do before even beginning to try is to talk to your doctor to see how you measure up health wise. Does he think you need to lose a few pounds before getting pregnant or does he feel you need to gain a few? Your doctor may recommend that you change your eating habits and start exercising.

    As soon as you decide you want a baby, you should begin to get in the habit of eating healthier. Slowly begin to cut out caffeine. If you smoke, now is a good time to quit rather than waiting until you have that positive test.   Smoking can decrease your fertility and increase your risk of a miscarriage if you are still smoking when you are pregnant.

    Another thing you can do is to start taking prenatals or at least a multivitamin supplement that contains at least 400 micrograms of folic acid. You can also begin to add food into your diet that is rich in folic acid such as spinach and other green vegetables, peanuts, and orange juice. You can also start by taking a prenatal vitamin also.  These vitamins contain iron, folic acid, and calcium along with vitamin C, D, B and vitamins B6 and B12 also.

    Reevaluated your diet. Start to eat foods that have plenty of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Lay off the fat and excess sugar. You want to eat foods that have a high nutrient density.  Eat at least five portions a day of fruits and vegetables along with protein and iron rich foods like dried fruit, and green vegetables.  Try to steer clear of raw fish like sushi, and steer clear of undercook shellfish, meat or chicken. You also want to try to avoid fish that has high mercury content like swordfish, shark, or king mackerel.  Cut out any food that has unpasteurized milk in it including cheeses such as brie, camembert, and some Mexican cheese.  Also cut out foods that have raw egg in it including homemade cookie dough.

    Make sure you up your water intake.  Water should always be your first beverage choice before, after and during your pregnancy.  Water helps to flush your system of toxins.  Once you’ve gotten your eight glasses in, you can drink fruit and vegetable juices also.

    Perhaps the most important thing you can do before you get pregnant is to cut out all alcohol.  The American College of Obstetricians and gynecologists have stated that women who drink might have a harder time getting pregnant than women who do not drink.  Another reason why you should give up alcohol is that most birth defects that are caused by alcohol exposure usually occur in the first few weeks of pregnancy, usually before you even know you are pregnant.

    Getting your body prepared for pregnancy is one of the best decisions you could make.  Your body will be more prepared for the challenge of growing a baby and the experience will be a little easier on your body.

  • Eating to Beat Pregnancy Fatigue

    Ask any pregnant woman who is in her first or third trimester how they are feeling and the answer will almost always be “tired”.  One of the first clues that many women have that they may be expecting a visit from the stork is the fact that they find themselves droopy eyed in the middle of the day for no reason.

    You may find that doing a simply task as walking around the block leaves your desperate for an afternoon nap. The energy you use to have is now faced with the challenge of growing a baby and your body is hard at work. You are also producing more blood, using more water and nutrients and have a higher heart rate and metabolism when you are pregnant. While the best defensive against the tiredness you will face is to get more sleep. There are also some healthy foods choices you can make that will help you get through your day if you do not have the opportunities to take naps.

    First, adjust the size of your meals.  Anyone who eats a large meal is going to feel tired afterwards regardless of if they are pregnant or not.  Being pregnant is going to make the effect of a big meal that much worse.   Most of your energy is going to be used towards digesting the meal so of course you will feel sluggish and drained.  Eat smaller meals and eat more often.  Eating six small meals a day will help you combat fatigue.

    Eating a good breakfast is the best way to start your day.  You are refueling your body after a long foodless night with a good breakfast.  A good breakfast is not a cup of coffee and a piece of toast. You want to stick to complex carbs and protein.  Whole grain cereal and a banana for example.  These foods will stay with you and keep your blood sugar and energy level up for quiet a while.

    Do not skip lunch.  There are many people who skip lunch thinking they will make up for it by having a big dinner.  This is bad when you are not pregnant but it’s even worse when you are pregnant. You need that midday meal to help refuel your body.  As with your breakfast, you should keep it filled with whole grains and protein.  Have a whole grain pita and stuff it with chicken salad and add a side of grapes or an apple.

    Plan to eat most of your calories during the day. A pregnant woman needs an extra 300 calories a day throughout their second and third trimester.  The first trimester those are not needed yet. You should eat these extra calories through out the day in the form of healthy snacks such as nuts, cheese, veggies and dip.  Do not save your biggest meal until the end of the day.  Your body needs these calories to help you get through your day.  Steer clear of the quick sugar fixes like candy and soda.  In the end these will only make you more tired.

    Lastly, make sure you are getting enough iron. Eat iron fortified food such as spinach and lean red meat to keep your energy up.  There are times when extreme fatigue could be the symptom of an iron deficiency and you might need an iron supplement also.

    Besides eating well, make sure you get plenty of rest even if this means pushing your bedtime up and giving up those late night TV talk shows.  As any parents of newborns will tell you, get your rest while you still can.

  • How to Find and Buy Affordable Beauty Products

    Are you in need of beauty products?  If you are interested in improving your appearance, beauty wise, you may be. If really haven’t placed much of a focus on your appearance, beauty wise, in the past, you may be a little bit surprised when you start shopping for beauty product and supplies.  Unfortunately, that surprise will not always be a good one.  You will likely find that many, in fact a large number of, beauty products are expensive.  In fact, some may be so expensive that you may just want to turn around and walkout of the store and forever give up your quest to look “beautiful,” but you don’t have to. There are a number of different ways that you can go about finding affordable beauty products.

    One of the easiest ways to find affordable beauty products is by visiting a retail store, like a beauty supply store, a fashion store, or a department store.  What you will want to do is visit the store’s clearance or markdown sections. Most retailers, including beauty supply stores, have a clearance section that contains marked down beauty products.  Most of the time, there is nothing wrong the products that are being discounted.  When it comes to storefront stores, many retailers are limited on space; therefore, they regularly try to move out older products to make room for new ones.  This common retail practice may be able to save you a considerable amount of money on beauty products.
    How to Find and Buy Affordable Beauty Products
    In addition to having a clearance section or a markdown section, many retailers, including beauty supply stores, also regularly have sales.  In fact, most retailers have large storewide sales once a week or so.  If you are able to find a good store sale on beauty products, you may be able to save yourself a decent amount of money.  It is common to find retailers that give you a percentage discount off of your order or a certain item.  You may also see offers that are like buy one get one free or buy one get one half off.  You should always try to check your local stores to see if they are having any sales and also check your newspapers for store sale fliers or inserts.

    Although shopping at a local beauty supply store or another retailer is nice, you may also want to think about buying beauty products online. What is nice about buying beauty products online is that you often have hundreds of retailers to choose from.  That actually translates into an unlimited number of beauty products for sale.  Also, with the internet, you can easily compare prices and products, making it easier to find affordably priced beauty products.  You will also be able to find beauty products for sale on online auction websites.  Of course, you can make your purchases from there, if you want, but you need to review the person who you will be doing business with, like their feedback.  Buying health and beauty products from someone who you don’t know is risky, as you can never be too sure about contaminations and such.

    In addition to using the internet to find beauty products for sale online, you may also want to use the internet to find moneysaving coupons.  It is common to find money saving coupons for certain products or certain retail sores.  If you have a nearby beauty supply store and that store has an online website, you may want to see if they have any coupons for you to print off. You will also want to check the online websites of your favorite product manufacturers for the same.  It may also be good idea to pick a copy of your local Sunday paper, as many Sunday papers are full of coupons, some of which may be for beauty products, like makeup, skincare products, and hair care products.

    As you can see, there are a number of different ways that you can go about finding and buying affordably priced beauty products.  Looking great or “beautiful,” may be important to you, but it isn’t something that should leave you broke.

  • Successful Forum Viral Marketing

    Successful Forum Viral Marketing

    In order to be successful using forums to do viral marketing there are some things that are required.  

    Do Your Homework: Prior to joining any forum, you must do some research.

    1.    Join relevant forums that are in some way related to the promotion’s primary sales market. For example, someone involved with a health related product, many types of forums could apply….everything from holistic medicine to stay-at-home moms.

    2.    Choose popular forums.  There is no point in wasting your time and energy on forums that few members and few posts. Page raking and the amount of active members are two good ways to check for this.

    3.    Choose forums that allow sig tags.  If it’s possible read the rules before joining and pay attention to them. Your time is important, too.  It is better to find out that a forum doesn’t allow posts with sig tags before you go to the time and trouble of joining.

    After You Have Joined: OK…you have chosen two or three forums that meet your requirements…now what?

    1.    Keep your sig tag short and update it regularly.  The ideal thing is to limit yourself to one link, preferably to your main website.

    2.    Never create posts that are nothing more than an advertisement. This all but a universal rule and only displays the marketers lack of experience if he does so.  At best this kind of post will be deleted by the monitors….at worst, it is grounds for being banned.

    3.    Work the room.  Be an active member on the forum. Plan to spend at least an hour each day there and take the time to get to know the users. Take the time to introduce yourself with intelligent questions depending upon the forum’s topic.  

    As a marketer becomes a regular member, they will hopefully develop a good reputation and without saying a word about their promotion, those who are interested in their product will approach them.
