Foods With Hidden Gluten
Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, can damage the intestines of people who suffer from celiac disease, a type of auto-immune disorder. People who have a wheat allergy may suffer a reaction when they eat foods with gluten as well. While you may think that gluten is only in foods that specifically contain wheat or other grains, it’s often added to a number of other foods. If you don’t keep an eye out, you may find gluten hiding in your pantry.
Herbal Teas During Pregnancy
When you’re pregnant, drinking a cup of caffeine-free herbal tea may seem like a better option than downing a cup of coffee or black tea. But Dr. Laura Riley, author of “Pregnancy: The Ultimate Week By Week Pregnancy Guide,” argues that drinking any herbal teas while you are pregnant is not safe for you or your baby. The American Pregnancy Association recommends certain teas, but only with the approval of your doctor or midwife.
How to Get Pregnant With Acupuncture
Couples who struggle with infertility are often willing to try a number of different methods, from fertility drugs to in vitro fertilization, to become pregnant. Up to 15 percent of couples who wish to become pregnant seek help from a fertility specialist, according to a 2007 study performed by Dr. Brian M. Berman and others. The study found that those couples who used in vitro fertilization — along with acupuncture — were more likely to get pregnant and give birth.
How to Wear Hats With Short Hair
Accessorize with style by adding a cute hat to your outfit. You can pull off a hat, even if you have short hair, as long as it’s the right hat. A head that completely covers your head and hair won’t be as flattering on you as a hat that allows a bit of hair to peek out. You should also keep your face shape in mind when choosing a hat to wear. Your hat doesn’t have to match your outfit perfectly, but should coordinate with it well.
Pilates Classes for Pregnancy
Exercising during your pregnancy helps keep you and your baby healthy. Certain exercises can also help you prepare for labor, such as Pilates. Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, Pilates strengthens your core, or the abdominal, back and pelvic muscles, which can become weak during pregnancy. While most Pilates exercises are safe for pregnancy, a number are not. You should talk to your doctor before beginning a Pilates class and make sure your instructor understands that you are pregnant.
