  1. I agree with the idea that more women should be worried about being active enough rather than too active. In this particular case I think the whole idea revolves more around exercise of any kind than a particular style such as crossfit. It is recommended that women do what they can to stay in shape during pregnancy. It is far more useful than mainstream media gives it credit. It can do a lot of good for the unborn child, mommy, and make labour easier.

    The key is to scale back from where you already are during pregnancy and focus on maintaining gains made while not pregnant. Thus it is not the time to start a new vigorous exercise program, but if you have been doing one there is no reason to stop unless your dr. tells you otherwise.

    Even so beginning a mild-moderate exercise program gradually during pregnancy is still often advisable, just keep your doc in the loop. This would likely look more like walking 30-40 minutes 5 days a week.

    Some key points to exercise and pregnancy:

    Avoid unfamiliar exercises with weights crossing your midsection that could cause you to bump the area and cause trauma to your little one on the way.

    Pregnancy is not the time to be losing weight, get it done before or after.

    Exercise professional can be helpful showing modifications for exercises where your body doesn't move the same as it used to.

    Really helpful post. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Here are some useful tips:

    1. Walking, footing, biking, climbing stairs, swimming; any of these activities will help burn the calories.

    2. Eat aliments that are rich in fibers.

    3. Drink a lot of water combined with fibers.

    4. Avoid pigging out during the night.

  3. I woke up this morning with the tightness in my chest that tells me I'll be coughing and probably running a fever before this evening. I obviously am not going to the gym this morning but am wondering if I should do my usual work out at home, make it a light work out or just rest.

    What do you do when you know illness is coming?

    If you feel you are going to fall ill, you can still exercise without significant limitations. But if you begin to feel worse after your workout, cut back. Also keep in mind that if your symptoms include a runny nose, dry cough or sneezing you should be fine to exercise. Rest if your symptoms are below the neck, such a chest congestion, muscle aches, upset stomach, etc.

  4. I am suffering from Arthritis and my doctor at Lewis Orthopaedics has adviced me to avoid the following in my diet:

    • Refined carbohydrates
    • Vegetable oils
    • Carbonated soft drinks
    • Yeast and wheat products
    • Monosodium glutamate
    • Foods containing refined sugar or synthetic sugar substitutes
