Maybe that's… Continue

Vanessa_Rhinesmith Pregnancy and Exercise - Tips and Tricks

Finding the right exercise mix can be incredibly tricky - and let's face it you probably aren't really in the mood to exercise, especially if you're in your first trimester. Those first few weeks - or even months - you feel like doing nothing close to exercise. In fact, getting to and from work, running out to do errands and simply staying awake probably seems like enough exercise for one day. It goes without saying that exercise (light exercise that is) is an important part of every pregnancy… Continue

But all aphorisms aside, fruit has so many health benefits that you'd have to be nuts not to eat them (although nuts are really good for you too, but I'll save that for another blog post). One fruit that has endless health benefits is the blueberry. Blueberries can help imp… Continue

Ellen S Nutrition and neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that make it possible for our brain cells/neurons to talk to each other. We cannot survive without them. Many of the neurotransmitters necessary for brain function are also necessary for digestive function as well. All these chemicals require specific vitamins and minerals for their creation and function.

Kenneth Gene Dockins Dietetic Calcium-Loss Contributor

In other words, when you "cut out," "cut down," or "cut back" on specific foods, you will be left in short supply of other vital nutrients. You have a responsibility to your own body, to know what these specific nutrients are, how… Continue
