Understand Proper Nutrition For A Pregnancy

By Henry Poperfield

There are many things a woman can do to grow a healthy, full-term baby. Eating a healthful, well-balanced diet is the most important of them all. Proper nutrition helps you avoid a premature birth, preeclampsia, eclampsia, or gestational diabetes. Diligence in this will pay off with an easier pregnancy, an easier delivery, and a healthy, happy baby. If you can't afford to follow a good diet, apply for the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program, which is available nation-wide. These coupons can be used at all grocery stores and many farmers markets.

What should you eat? It's really pretty simple. Imagine your dinner plate. Divide it in half. One half should be filled with vegetables of assorted colors: green, yellow, red, white. Things like peas, broccoli, green beans, dark, leafy greens, and asparagus are green. Corn, sweet potatoes, and yams are yellow. Bell peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant are red. Cauliflower, mushrooms, and potatoes are white. Technically, some of these things are not vegetables, but for our purposes, this is the category they go in.

The other half of your plate is divided in half again. In one section, you put your protein. This can be chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and other meats, seafood, or vegetarian options such as tofu, cheese, or beans. For the most part, be careful to choose lean cuts of meat, or low-fat versions of cheese.

The final quarter of your plate will be filled with a starch. This can include items from the vegetable category, such as the potatoes and yams, or beans, which are also a protein. Other items are rice, bread, pasta, and other grains. The most important thing - and this is really important - is that you choose whole grains. Your breads should be made with whole grain flour (it will say so on the label), your rice should be brown. Other excellent grains are quinoa (also high in protein), kasha, wheat berries, and whole grain cornmeal. Steel cut oatmeal is practically the best thing you can eat for breakfast.

Every day, be sure to drink a quart of milk or eat milk products, such as cheese or yogurt. Have two eggs every day. Include a serving or two of fruit. Eat small amounts - three meals, and a snack between each meal and before you go to bed. Salt your food to taste, and drink eight glasses of water or other liquid each day. It also helps to know what should not be included in the pregnant woman's diet. This includes the obvious, such as alcohol, to the not-so-obvious, such as caffeine, sugar, and junk food, to the disputed, such as processed food. Do your best to avoid refined foods of any kind. - 17268

Organic Raw Milk - Life Giving Milk

By Kathryn Barry

You keep hearing the mantra "Raw Milk is Dangerous because of Bacteria". The one and only time I remember becoming deathly ill from drinking milk was when I drank some low fat pasteurized milk. I thought I was going to die! So much for pasteurized milk being a safe alternative and organic raw milk being dangerous.

What's left in low fat processed milk anyway?

This is What is Happening to Milk and Your Health

Enzymes are extremely fragile and will be lost at temperatures of 145 Degrees for 30 minutes or longer. This process is called pasteurization and renders a food lifeless. This process creates a drain on your pancreas and only creates more work for this organ to help digest your food.

Milk fats are destroyed by a process called homogenization. These fats then go on to create cholesterol blockages in your arteries and scar your vital blood vessels.

Ultra-Pasteurization heats milk to 280 degrees, rendering it completely indigestible and ultra-pasteurization will also create MSG - a Neurotoxin.

Now Let's Look at Organic Raw Milk

Great source of important minerals such as calcium, vitamin B12, essential fatty acids, and good bacteria. The nutrients are much more easily absorbed because of the enzymes still present in this milk. Enzymes such as lactoferrin are responsible for protecting you and milk from pathogens.

Raw Goat Milk is Good and Nutritious

Raw goat milk is a great substitute for cow's milk for those people who cannot deal with lactose. Goat's milk is less allergenic and it does not contain the complex protein that stimulates allergic reactions found in cow's milk.

Unlike cow's milk, goat's milk does not contain agglutinin and therefore, the fat globules in goat's milk do not cluster together - making them easier to digest. The fat molecules are smaller than cow's milk and doesn't separate - it's naturally homogenized.

Goat milk contains beneficial fatty acids that are short and medium-chained. This is another reason why goat milk is easy for your body to digest.

Raw Goat's Milk contains vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, trace elements, enzymes, protein and fatty acids that are utilized by your body with ease.

This milk alkalinizes your digestive system and it actually contains an alkaline ash that does not produce acid in your intestinal system.

Even though my first love is raw cow's milk, I would be just as happy to drink raw goat's milk. It would be nice to be able to purchase either one in the location of your choosing.

If you are lucky enough to live in a state that provides Organic Raw Milk, you are lucky. This is one of the hardest health foods to find in most states.

I often wonder why securing a supply of nutritious raw milk has been made so hard. Some raw dairies are subjected to such harassment and unfair treatment. It's time to stop treating these dairies like they were drug dealers.

My hope is that one day this milk will be made available to the general public, but that will only happen when enough people demand raw milk. - 17268

How To Prevent And Get Rid Of Tummy Fat

By Stelios Appleby

What is the most effective work out to get rid of belly fat? What is the most effective belly workout to get rid of the stomach fat? This is a question that is asked all the time and depending on whom you speak to you will get a range of varied answers.

If you truly want to get rid of this issue then one thing you are probably going to have to face up to is that you might actually be doing the incorrect type of workouts. You might actually want to lessen the amount of tummy specific workouts you do and instead focus on a different kind of exercise.

If you want to get that six pack as rapidly as viable then you need to concentrate on doing workouts that are essentially going to burn the body fat that is on your waist line. Only doing specific workouts that are focused on your belly area will only get you so far, you also need to concentrate on doing exercises that will improve your metabolic rate and burn off the excess fat.

That doesn't mean that you should avoid doing the belly workouts all together. What you do have to try and do is to vary your work out routine a bit more. You need to concentrate on what is going to have the largest impact. Rationally you might think that doing a thousand sit-ups a day is what you have to do, but the truth is that the best part of those sit-ups might be a waste of time and might not be beneficial to you at all.

But, unless you do some cardio work, consume the right diet and concentrate on doing some total body exercises when you are at the gym, you are going to struggle. You may get close to getting your six pack, but you will most likely not get the preferred result you want, there will most likely always be that layer of body fat covering your stomach muscles.

If you really want to succeed at getting your tummy muscles toned or ripped then you need to make certain that you are keeping a close eye on what you are consuming. Having unhealthy eating habits is one of the main reasons, people do not see the improvements they want to, when trying to get six pack abs.

Getting toned tummy muscles does take a bit of work. Very infrequently will you be able to take short cuts if you want to have toned tummy muscles. If you do not get your diet right and if you eat lots of garbage food or merely the wrong types of food, then you are making it almost impossible for yourself to truly get the body you desire.

The truth is that the change is undoubtedly going to be more mental than physical. You have to adjust the way you think and feel in relation to food to be equipped to sustain a enduring healthy diet change. - 17268

Foods That Help Men Live Longer

By Steve Stone

Here are five healthy foods for men. Regularly eating them will ensure you're on your way to a longer lasting, healthier life.

Tomatoes. This fruit contains a powerful nutrient called lycopene. This has been shown to be beneficial in preventing prostrate cancer in men. To see the complete health benefits of it the tomatoes should be condensed, so go for either tomato juice or tomato sauce (without additives or sugar) as opposed to whole tomatoes.

Oysters. This superfood is a superior source of protein that is perfect for helping to build lean muscle. They also provide omega 3's and zinc (which many men are known to be deficient of), and aid in testosterone production.

Brazil Nuts. Nuts in general are a great nutrient snack full of fiber, healthy fats and protein. However, Brazil nuts stand out from the others in that they are packed with selenium, a mineral that is crucial in antioxidant production to fight off disease. Eating just a single one will give you your RDA of it.

Broccoli. There is considerable evidence pointing towards the anti-cancer benefits of this superfood. It's full of minerals and antioxidants that both clean your blood arteries and maintain strong and healthy cells

Flaxseed. Flaxseeds are an ideal source of nutrients, healthy fats and fiber and they help the body get rid of toxic compounds. For your body to absorb the full health benefits of them they must be ground prior to consumption. Once ground they can be added to shakes, cereal and oatmeal.

There are of course other healthy foods for men but the ones listed here are a good start. Begin by increasing your consumption of these, and then add additional healthy foods to your regular diet month by month. - 17268

Which Should I Choose? Acai Berry Pills or Acai Berry Juice?

By Travis Van Slooten

Should you go for acai berry pills or acai berry juice? Long ago, choosing the best way to get one's supplements was fairly easy. The options were very minimal and often times, consumers were left to choose pills as the way to get their healthy boost. Supplement aisles displayed hundreds of pill bottles and you just pick the pill which best suits your needs. Meeting your nutrient needs for the day wasn't so hard too. All you had to do was pop a pill in your mouth and you should be good to go. Today however, the choices have not only grown more, they have also gotten to be more appealing, usually covered in different enticing flavors and juices which can be blended into shakes and smoothies. Given this, many consumers are left wondering whether to go for the good old pill or let their palate enjoy the new tastes.

Let's face it, people love to eat delicious snacks. So the best way to get people to eat healthy, or at least the best way to sell healthy foods, is to cover them in our favorite flavors like salts and sugars. Acai berry is still a fairly new supplement to the American market, but it has already received the full treatment. While fresh acai berry is out of reach, you can find acai berry drinks and ice creams and all sorts of appetizing options. But do these options really offer you the same bang for your buck that you expect from a health supplement?

First, let's talk about the acai berry juice. While yes, it can be flavorful and enticing as compared to taking capsules, acai berry juice may be giving you a little less than what you would expect from an acai product. In addition, while acai berry has yet to be proven as an aid to weight loss, more and more people are taking the acai berry as a supplement that can help with weight loss programs. The thing is, some of these juices may actually contain fillers and sugars which may bring detrimental impacts to your body. Another downside to drinking acai berry juice instead of taking acai pills is that you may be getting only a fraction of the nutrients as compared to what you get from the pills.

As you can now see, taking the pill form of acai supplements can give you a more complete daily dosage of supplement ? without any added sugars or chemical coloring which you are likely to find in food supplement options. A single pill has pretty much everything that you need for your daily dose of acai. And even if you aren't too concerned of the concentration, you'd still likely be concerned about the cost. More supplements don't come cheap and acai isn't any different. So for the same amount of money, you could be getting more nutrients from a bottle of pills than acai berry juices which may contain the added ingredients of water, sugar and possibly other fillers.

The biggest advantage of going for acai berry juices is that you get to enjoy their delicious flavors with your daily meals. Nevertheless, if the nutrient concentration is what you're after, a single acai pill can offer you so much more, while you can still have a glass of orange juice with it. Above all, you get everything you need minus the extra calories and added ingredients. - 17268

You Want the Best Abs?

By James Statham

Ready to get the best abs around? In this article, I am going to be revealing to you the way that you should be going about getting a six pack. There are three specific factors that, if you use correctly, will give you rock hard abs! These are the three components. Your diet, your work outs and your dedication. By the end of this article, you will have gained the basics of what you need to know to get ripped!

Now the biggest mistake guys make, when trying to get the best abs, is doing traditional abs exercises. I'm sure you know what I'm on about! Crunches, leg lifts, sit ups etc. These are all hailed by the so called experts, but are actually some of the least effective abs exercises around! This is because is order to get ripped, you need to raise your metabolism and lower your body fat levels. Now crunches, and the like, will not do either of these, and will only waste your time!

In case you didn't know, your metabolism determines how many calories your body burns whilst resting. You need to be making sure this is high if you want to have a six pack. Fortunately, there are abs exercises around which will both raise your metabolism, and burn body fat! By performing these exercises rather than the crunches, you will see much better results!

Another big mistake most people make when attempting to get the best abs, is not following the correct diet. A common belief was that to burn fat, you need to follow a low carb diet. Wrong! In fact, by following this diet, you could end up adding to the excess layer of fat around your stomach! Instead of this, you should be eating foods that are high in protein, such as meat, fish, cheese etc. These foods are great for muscle building, and also should be eaten if you want to get ripped!

Avoid typical cardio workouts. Stay off the treadmill! A long drawn out cardio workout is not only boring, but isn't intense enough to burn fat sufficiently. To get the best abs, the cardio workout you should be doing, should be short and sharp. A high intense, half hour cardio session will be so much better for you in the long term than simply jogging for hours on end.

Once you have gained information about diet and exercising, there's one more thing needed to really get the best abs, and that is your dedication. As long as you can stay on track, and not give up, then you will have the results to show off to the world! - 17268

How to Buy Acai Berry Products

By Maxine Paine

Acai berry is the newest of grails in the search for nutrition. With such a focus on the little fruit, figuring out where to buy acai berry products isnt easy. It seems like everyone is ready to push their new scam on you, and you cant possibly wade through all the offers around.

Traditionally used as much for its hearts and leaves, the acai palm is now primarily harvested for the berrys potential benefits. Rapidly growing trees, they produce two crops of berries each year.

When you head online to look at acai berry product try to remember that no matter what claims are being made, you need to look at the research. Research indicates that the acai berry has reasonable levels of antioxidants, fiber and numerous nutritional elements.

It is shown in some studies to be effective in preventing the growth of experimental leukemia cells and against some of the inflammatory enzymes associated with early cancer. That said, it isnt capable of defying scientific knowledge and performing all the remarkable things it is currently touted for

If you chose to buy your acai products online use a reputable distributor. If their claims seem outrageous, they are. Acai stands quite well on its own abilities. It wont make you thin overnight, neither will it cure anything specific on its own.

It is a good supplement for a healthy diet and has many beneficial components. Locate a website that is honest, and will tell you specifically what is contained in their products and also that have a flexible customer service policy.

Find out how the product was processed and how much of it is actually acai. Why should you give money for 5% acai juice present in blueberry juice? You arent going to get the benefits of acai. Researching your provider will give you more confidence and allow you to make a better decision regarding your purchase. - 17268

Home Workout: Flatten Your Belly with a 10-Minute Routine

By Travis Hunt

At first glance, a full-proof 10-minute home workout to flatten abs might seem a bit unbelievable to you, especially if you have been so used to at least 45 minutes of intense exercising. But what if I told you it IS possible?

When I first heard about it, I was just as skeptical as the next person. Nevertheless, I said to myself, what would I lose if I give it a try? Absolutely nothing, that?s what. The idea of just getting six pack abs in the shortest time possible was more than enough motivation for me. And I assure you, this one is definitely a no-lose case.

True enough, it did work for me! Let me share with you the details of the 10-minute home exercise that helped me flatten my abs.

For you to have six pack abs, you must be willing to do anything to achieve your goal. I am not suggesting, however, that you buy any exercise equipments or get an exclusive membership in a prestigious gym because there?s really no need for all that; that is not what I am trying to point out at all.

Here?s the deal: It will definitely provide you a shorter time for your workout routine. But for you to reap all the benefits in that shot period of time, you need to exert more effort. You simply need to work just as hard, if not more, if you want to save on time.

First, you should start doing your home workout before eating. Why is that? Just think of a time when you were so tired from doing something strenuous, you had this strong desire to replenish your strength.

The same goes with your muscles; later in the course of an extreme workout, it will long for replenishment, and when you satisfy the hunger of your muscles, you will enable them to build greater mass. So the best macronutrient you should include in your meal is protein.

For the training routine, lay down on a flat surface and do 50 simple crunches. Do this at a quicker pace yet keep your rhythm.

Do not get too excited. It does not end there. When you are done with the crunches, do 25 leg raises, then go for another round of 50 crunches. When you are half way doing this you will feel your muscles contract; that is a sign that it is working.

Soon after the crunches, perform about 50 reps of the bicycle exercise. That makes 25 reps per side crunch and knee-bend. As you wrap up your routine, have one more round of 50 crunches. It?s as simple as that.

The beginning could pose as very challenging to you. But you?ll soon get used to the home exercise like I did. Just 10 minutes everyday and you can get a super flat set of abs in no time at all. Push yourself, give it your all, and you?ll soon don the midsection you?ve always wanted. - 17268
