Healthy Snacks for Pregnant Women

INCREASED APPETITE DURING PREGNANCY IS NOT UNHEARD OF. IN FACT, THIS IS VERY COMMON AFTER THE 2ND TRIMESTER OF

PREGNANCY.

Including more fruits in your diet is a healthy way to boost your nutrient consumption. Fruits need to be part of

your main diet and you can also snack on them. Vitamin C abandoned fruits such as lemons, limes, melons,

strawberries, apples and oranges are perfect snack items.

Incorporating enough folic acid in your diet helps preventing major birth defects to your baby’s brain and spinal cord. You can get your dose of folic acid from fruits such as oranges, pineapple, papaya and avocado.

Potassium is also critical in maintaining electrolyte imbalance in your body and you need that especially during pregnancy. Cherries, peaches and banana are good sources of potassium.

Does Tea Really Help In Fighting Cancer?

Since 2006, 50 different epidemiological studies have been carried out to identify cancer fighting abilities of tea. Most of these studies have ended inconclusively; however, there is a strong chance that tea does have special qualities and it does actually help in fighting free radicals in the body.

Antioxidants found in tea, particularly in green tea have been shown to prevent cancer cells from growing. Tea contains polyphenols such as EGCG, ECC and ECG which are known to have antioxidant activity. These chemicals scavenge free radicals cells and protect the cell from DNA damage and stop in many laboratory experiments, use of tea in animals have shown to inhibit tumour cell invasiveness.

Health experts believe that there is a definite connection EGCG found in green tea and cancer. Studies have shown promising powers of green tea but there are very few conclusive laboratory studies or clinical trials

which makes it rather unclear whether tea has potential anti-cancer health benefits or not. However, all the available evidence suggest that drinking tea (green or black, preferably fresh and not chemically sweetened) can help you lower the overall risks of developing cancer without any serious side-effect. Do remember that the health benefits you get from your green tea/black tea depend on the type and quality of your brew. Go for a natural blend and try to keep sweeteners at a minimum.

It is difficult to understand the usefulness of something that causes lumps behind your kid’s ear but lymph nodes actually have a purpose. The lymphatic system is a part of the body’s immune system. Debris, toxins and harmful materials flowing within the body is carried by blood and the waste is drained into the lymph channels. Lymph nodes filter the blood and fights against germs that enters the system.

The swelling you see is when the lymphatic system detects a local infection and becomes overactive in fighting against it.

Should you consult a doctor if you see a bump behind your kid’s ear? Absolutely. If you see bumps anywhere in the places we mentioned in the paragraph above, talk to a doctor. Swelling of lymph nodes may happen because of bacterial illness such as throat infection or could be symptoms of diseases that will need medical attention as soon as possible. Measles, chicken pox, mumps and leukemia are some diseases that cause swollen lymph nodes.

How are swollen lymph nodes treated? In order to treat the bump behind your kid’s ear, it is necessary that the root cause of its formation is treated. Usually in children, when the main disease is treated, the swelling will subside. It takes almost a month for the swelling to be back to

normal. However, if the swelling is visible after a month talk to your doctor again for expert advice.

The Psychology of Hair Loss 10

Hair loss is a

big reason for psychological

stress. Men and women are equally

affected when they begin to lose hair on the head. Though

it may seem trivial to somebody who is not suffering from severe loss of

hair, this is often associated with sexuality, attractiveness and also is essential to the

identity of men and women. In many cases, hair loss has been identified as the cause of loss of self-esteem and body image, especially in women. From embarrassment to shock, people experience different emotional and psychological aftermaths of hair loss.

Coping with a new appearance and dealing with social commentary on a balding head can cause distress and emotional problems. There are some of the common concerns of men and women affected by hair loss.

Modification of hair, in particular hairstyles, is an evolutionary practice that has a lot of importance in several cultures around the world. There are several evidence of hair ornamentation made of

mud, clay, feathers and bone in bygone civilizations. The meaning and significance of styling hair is deeply rooted in culture. Even in the present society there are clear evidence of cupping, decorating and arranging hair in a wide range of styles and decorations.

Men and women spend a lot of money in order to style their hair because it has a specific psychological impact in other members of the society who judge on the basis of appearance. Unable to style hair therefore, inevitably leads to non-supportive and judgmental behavior which ultimately affects the psychology of a balding person.

Androgenetic alopecia or common male pattern baldness (MPB) accounts for more than 95% of hair loss in men.

consume. Incorporating the right amount of polyunsaturated fats and in proper proportions is going to do wonders for you. Monounsaturated fats also help.
