Healthy tips

I will give you here some  healthy tips one by one. 

1.   Healthy organic food. Eat fresh organic food, locally bought and in season. The benefits of whole fat in the diet such as butter was prized for health and fertility by our healthy ancestors.  2.   Natural medicines when sick.  Antibiotics have saved many lives over the decades. However, success can lead to excess and we now are experiencing problems  from antibiotic overuse causing infections  from resistant organisms. Dr Joan Fallon published a study of 206 autistic children linking antibiotic use as a possible cause of autism.

3.   Choose non toxic products. When possible minimize exposures to toxins, beginning before pregnancy.  Consumer products  from baby bottles to shampoo can also be toxic. For example. BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical used by manufacturers has been linked to cancer, hyperactivity, miscarriage, obesity and reproductive problems.  Concerns about toxins being linked to autism are becoming more apparent in the news.

4. Natural Pregnancy and Birth
 Your child’s life begins in utero.  Nowadays, the 21st century baby-to-be is bombarded with stimuli such as ultrasound to procedures as  amniocentesis. The womb is no longer a safe haven!  The long term effects of repeated ultrasound exposures on the fetus are not fully known.  Because the risks of ultrasound include increased learning disabilities, epilepsy, delayed speech development, dyslexia, The American Pregnancy Association recommends that “ultrasound only be used if medically indicated.” With regards to childbirth, the synthetic hormone Pitocin is commonly used by obstetricians to induce labor contractions.

5. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious.

Breakfast: Add fruit and a few seeds or nuts to your whole grain breakfast cereal (oatmeal!).

Lunch: Eat a big salad filled with your favorite beans and peas or other combo of veggies. Always order lettuce and tomato (plus any other veggies you can!) on your sandwiches. Order whole grain bread for your sandwiches. Have a side of veggies like cut up carrots, sauerkraut or a piece of fruit.

Snacks: Fresh fruit and vegetables. Grab an apple or banana on your way out the door. Raw veggies such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, jicama, peppers, etc. are great with a low-fat dip such as hummus. Keep trail mix made with nuts, seeds and a little dried fruit on hand.

Dinner: Add fresh or frozen veggies to your favorite pasta sauce or rice dish. Top a baked potato with broccoli and yogurt, sautéed veggies, or with salsa. Replace creamy pasta sauces, with sautéed vegetables or tomato sauce made with healthy olive oil.

Dessert: Choose fruit instead of a richer dessert. Or a single square of dark chocolate.
