HERE IS MELISSA’S STORY:
Hi there! I came upon your website tonight by chance. I am pleased to see your site and what it is all about - it is much needed. Great job!

Spending Time With Your Partner

For those that are married… we just wanted to talk about the importance of your significant other. As we have all noticed or will be noticing, having a baby brings about a great deal of change in your family life. It’s easy… especially for mothers to get so caught up in their new baby that Dad is soon feeling left out. Make sure you make time for your partners. If the two of you are not bonding, then soon the whole family will suffer.

• Have a special date night that is a committed time for just the two of you… every couple of weeks or every week.

Yet another reason to keep drinking water, in a recent study it was found that after people drank 17oz of water their metabolic rates increased by 30% within 10 minutes and peaked about 40 minutes later.

There are estrogen mimickers in or environment called xenoestrogens. These xenoestrogens disrupt our estrogen balance and increase our risk of breast cancer. Xenoestrogens are found in hair dyes, plastics, cosmetics, nail polish, dry cleaned clothing and bleached feminine hygiene products. It would be very beneficial for our bodies to avoid or reduce your use of these items.

It measures changes in skin resistance in response to test substances such as foods, medications, chemicals and homeopathic remedies, when brought into the patient's own circuit of energy. An easy way to test your little one's sensitivities without any pain or harm.

Time Out

This Tip of the Week is a mental, spiritual tip. A request that we take time out for our loved ones and for our own spiritual health, to not not be so tied to the busyness of our lives and careers. To realize at the end of our life, having a healthy spirit will be so much more important then a healthy bank account.

Looking Again at Infant Feeding

Since this topic is such an important one... and we first brought you this chart when we launched, we have decided to post it again! This food chart has very important, useful information.
Prevention of Food Allergies

1. Exclusively breast feed for the first six months.
2. Maternal avoidance of highly allergenic foods during lactation such as egg, cow milk, peanuts.
3. Colostrum ASAP after birth provides protection to the digestive lining. No exposure to formula in the hospital because:

Some Tid Bits on Sugar

According to a 1997 study as little as six teaspoons a day can reduce the immune response by 25%. Rather frightening when you consider that most foods particularly those geared towards children contains a substantial amount of sugar. This can have a dramatic effect on your children and babies health.

A study conducted in a California School District stopped offering foods with high sugar content. In one year scores on a standardized achievement test went up by 8 percent in one year.

The Importance of Some Illness

- An absence of illness is not necessarily good for us. Illness helps our bodies in building up our immune system, aiding our bodies in dealing with infections. This is especially critical for children, who have immature immune systems at birth and need to develop their immune systems through illness.
