Can I Ever Let My Kids Walk Home On Their Own?
Today, we are so very sad for Leiby Kletzky’s family. By now, most of the country is familiar with this tragedy — the death of 8 year old, Leiby, abducted and murdered in his own Brooklyn, NY community while simply walking to meet his mother, just 7 blocks away from his camp on Monday afternoon. I cannot even imagine the pain Leiby’s parents are feeling.
Sports Injury Prevention for Kids
While sports can be a healthy way for kids to burn off energy and build their muscles, attendant risks are associated with sports participation. Much to the chagrin of many moms, you can’t fully protect your sports player from injury. You’ll cringe every time they step foot on a football field, baseball diamond or basketball court. However, you can help your athletic kid prevent injury (and calm your nerves a bit) with some common-sense safeguards.
Diets to Use While Trying to Get Pregnant
For many women, getting pregnant isn’t as easy as just doing the deed. According to the Center for Human Reproduction, 20 to 30 percent of all infertility cases are a result of problems with egg maturation or its release from the ovaries each month, a condition called ovulatory infertility. The Nurses’ Health Study, a long-term research project following 18,000 women trying to get pregnant, shed some light on the relationship between diet and conception, proving that good nutrition is key.
How to Slim Down Any Holiday Recipe
The holiday season is built heavily around food–heavy food. Americans generally gain a pound or more during the holidays, the result of butter-basted turkey, fat-filled mashed potatoes and sweets galore. If you want to embark on a slimmer holiday season, the first common-sense move is to cut back on sugar in your dessert recipes, using sugar substitute where possible. You can take other steps in many recipes to make the season healthier.
How to Get Rid of Stomach Fat With Food
Most women know about stubborn belly fat. It’s that little bit (or a lot of) flab surrounding your stomach that never seems to go away. You’ve followed the latest fad diet to a T but still have that seemingly permanent spare tire around your middle. Take heart. Stomach fat–although stubborn–can be reduced by following some common sense guidelines. Some women have more stomach fat than others because of genetic predisposition. If you’re one of these people, you may never completely rid yourself of your belly, but you can certainly reduce it. The first step is to eat right. Don’t go on a diet, though. Develop healthy eating habits you can sustain for life. If you want to burn more fat, you’ll have to add in some exercise routines. A healthy diet plus regular exercise is a sure way to see a reduction in flab.
