Pregnant Mom’s lifestyles can affect their babies’ health

Everybody knows that Mom’s lifestyle habits bring into pregnancy can have lasting effects on her baby's health. It’s proofing by some research. A Dutch research found that some women who smoked, had low folic acid and had high blood pressure in early pregnancy had babies that were smaller in the first trimester of pregnancy and had a higher risk of complications later. This research followed 1,631 pregnant women from their first trimester through their pregnancies. The growth of their offspring was assessed until the children were 2.

"Our study demonstrates that several maternal physical characteristics and lifestyle habits, such as smoking and non-use of folic acid supplements, affect first-trimester fetal growth," said study senior author Dr. Vincent Jaddoe, a pediatric epidemiologist at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Dr. Jaddoe said that the first trimester of pregnancy was very critical period for fetal growth and development. This is important, since it suggests that the fetus is already affected before pregnant women visit their midwife or obstetrician.

Researchers found that some special factors could affect to the babies size. Babies whose mothers smoked, had higher diastolic blood pressure readings (diastolic is the bottom number in blood pressure) and had low folic acid consumption were more likely to be smaller.

The babies who had small size during their first trimester pregnancy had a higher risk of certain complications in the pregnancy, such as premature birth or low birth weight.

Until this time there are a lot of women didn’t know that she was pregnant, sometimes until they have 2 month pregnancy still not know that she was pregnant. It means they have passed her 2 month of pregnancy that include in the first trimester that it was very important period.

"The fetus is very vulnerable, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy. For women who are planning to become pregnant, it seems important to optimize their lifestyle habits before they become pregnant. From a health care perspective, we need to consider preconception care to help women to optimize their lifestyle habits before they become pregnant," said Jaddoe.

The 7 simple ways for quit smoking successfully.

There are 1.1 billion smokers in the world today, and if current trends continue, that number is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by the year 2025. Worldwide, approximately 10 million cigarettes are purchased a minute, 15 billion are sold each day, and upwards of 5 trillion are produced and used on an annual basis. There is enough nicotine in four or five cigarettes to kill an average adult if ingested whole. Most smokers take in only one or two milligrams of nicotine per cigarette however, with the remainder being burned off.

Most people who smoke wish they didn't. They live with a hatred for the habit they can't seem to do without. The fear of serious illness is usually there too, lurking in the background, and always that awful feeling of being powerless to quit. More smokers want to quit. Learning how to stop smoking can be difficult, but with a good support group, a lot of information and a little dedication, you CAN be successful at it. In order to quit smoking for good, you have to change your attitude toward your quit. Use the following 7 ways (in no particular order) to get started with adjusting your life for success:

1. If you want to change your life, change your mind.

You can abstain from smoking for many years, but if you never change the relationship you have with cigarettes, the chains will continue to hold you tight. Change your mind and you can free yourself in an instant. You'll still have to do the work to undo the years of habit of course, but once you free your mind, you're on your way.

2. Know Your Motivation

When the urge comes, your mind will rationalize. "What's the harm?" And you'll forget why you're doing this. Know why you're doing this before that urge comes. Is it for your kids? Is it for your wife? Is it for you health? Is it for your financial? So you can run? Because the girl you like doesn't like smokers? Have a very good reason or reasons for quitting. List them out. Print them out. Put it on a wall, and remind yourself of those reasons every time the urge to smoke hits.
3. Get more information and tips for quit from smoke

Create a post at the smoking cessation support forum asking people to share the positive experiences they've had since quitting. Read it for inspiration. Read through the forum messages from others. You will be surprised at the motivational power it will have for you. When you take a break from posting about yourself, you shift your focus and give yourself some space for clarity. There are any website and forum around the Internet. Here is the top 5 quit smoking website; Smokefree.gov, About.com - Smoking Cessation Guidesite, Quit Smoking 4 Good, Quit Smoking Aids & Centers for Disease Control.

4. Yard by yard is always hard, but inch-by-inch is always an cinch.

This is a catchy way to remember another valuable truth that will help you on your journey. Recovery from nicotine addiction is a process of gradual release over time. Keep yourself in the present moments of today and you'll find the job manageable. Don't worry about tomorrow or the next day or forever. Think about today only and what you can do with it. Recovery comes in inches, but those inches add up.

5. Reward Yourself

Set up a plan for your rewards. Definitely reward yourself after the first day, and the second and the third. You can do the fourth if you want, but definitely after week one and week two and month one and month two and 6 months and a year. Make them good rewards, things you'll look forward to: CDs, books, DVDs, T-shirts, shoes, a massage, a bike, a dinner out at your favorite restaurant, a hotel stay. Whatever you can afford. Even better, take whatever you would have spent on smoking each day and put it in a jar. This is your rewards jar. Go crazy! Celebrate your every success! You deserve it.

6. If You Fall, Get Up, and Learn From Your Mistakes

If you fail, that does not mean we are failures or that you can never succeed. Get it up, brush yourself off and try again. I failed numerous times before succeeding. But you know what? Each of those failures taught me something. Sometimes I repeated the same mistakes several times, but eventually I learned what is the cause. Figure out what your obstacles to success are, and plan to overcome them in your next quit attempt. And don't wait a few months [...] before trying again. Give yourself a few days to plan and prepare, commit fully to it and go for it!

7. Think positive, don’t be stressed and laugh everyday.

That is my 7 ways to quit smoking. I hope it can success enough for helping you on Quit Smoking.

Buying a Car

You need a car? You need buy a car? Don’t wasting your time for visiting car dealers. Because, there are lots of car dealer out there. Now there are lots of car dealers has a website. They have showed their showroom online on the Internet. From home you can choose your car needed and wanted. Before you make a transaction you can choose your car first.

You can tell a lot about how a car dealer treats people by what appears on their websites. It's important to visit their website first to get an idea of how they operate. Here are five things to look for when you visit.

1) Type/Model/Brand/Usage: For the first time you need stated your needed or wanted. There are lots of cars in car dealers. You will confuse when you there. Some times your choice become different when you see others model, type or brand. So, state your needed first. Another consideration is the car you need, buy used cars (compro auto usate) or buy new cars. Because there are lots of car dealers also selling used cars (vendita auto usate).

2) Prices on the Vehicles: Some car dealers website list the "price" as "Call". This is often an indication that the price of the vehicle depends on many variables. Our take - if they don't publish their prices, they're not ready to be open and honest with you even if you go there. With seeing the prices you also can predict your budget. Your need follow your budget or your budget follow your need.

3) Parts and Service: There are two types of franchise dealers - those who have strong parts and service department that are thriving and making money, and those who don't. As strange as it may sound, a dealer who is doing well on "fixed ops" are more likely to have better prices on their vehicles. Those who are struggling in service and parts need to make more money in sales to survive. It's that simple. Check out their service and parts pages on the website. If they are prominent, that's a good sign. With check out their service and parts store, you also can predict the maintenance cost of your car next.

4) Testimonials: Lots of car dealers website has ability to post written or video testimonials on there. This is an indicator, as many dealers just haven't been given the option yet, so not having testimonials is not necessarily a bad thing. Having them, however, is a good sign. When you in Italy and you need used cars in Milan (auto usate milano) you can visit www.garagedelparco.com there are some good testimonial.

Get more variation recipes by cooking and preparing your own food

In fast-paced culture, the prospect of planning, cooking, and savoring a home-cooked meal can seem daunting. The "quick-and-easy" way of life full of microwaves, fast-food restaurants, and packaged meals easily overshadows the importance of cooking and preparing food the old fashioned way: at home in your own kitchen. Many prepared foods, whether from the drive-thru or a microwave-safe package, can contain a myriad of unhealthy ingredients.

With cooking and preparing your own healthy meals gives you more control over what you and your family are eating. Seeking out a variety of healthy recipes and preparing nutritious meals can help prevent common medical conditions and concerns, and engages your senses in a sumptuous world of flavors, textures, aromas, sights, and sounds! It can also be a wonderful way to bring your family together, while helping you save money.

There are many easy ways to alter recipes so that they are healthier while maintaining their wonderful tastes, flavors, and textures. Some basic tips for making your favorite recipes healthier include:

• Decrease the meat and increase the vegetables called for in stews and casseroles.
• Choose whole-grain versions of pasta and bread; substitute whole-wheat flour for bleached white flour when you bake.
• Serve imaginative whole-grain side dishes like bulgur or kasha instead of white rice or pasta. Cook with less fat by using non-stick skillet.
• Blot all fried meats on paper towels. Or better yet, try baking instead of frying.
• Avoid cooking with soy or Worcestershire sauce and products that contain monosodium glutamate (MSG).
• Use garlic or onion powder instead of garlic or onion salt, and use unsalted or low-salt vegetable broths and products.
• Buy reduced-fat cheese or use mozzarella, which is naturally lower in fat.
• In recipes calling for milk or cream, substitute reduced fat versions or try using other “milks” such as rice milk, nut milks or soymilk. Also use low-fat cream cheese, yogurt, and mayo.
• Unhealthy fats like certain oils, butter, or margarines can usually be cut by 1/3 to 1/2 in recipes. At first try a small cutback and then use less and less over time; you'll hardly notice the difference.
• You can also use fat substitutes like prune purees and applesauce in baked goods.
• Use fresh-frozen fruit without added sugar if fresh is unavailable.
• Cut the sugar called for in most recipes by one-third to one-half.
• Sweeten waffles and quick breads with cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla or almond extracts in order to cut the sugar content.
• Try salsa on a baked potato or salad rather than high-fat dressing or butter.
