Natural RemediesWeighing In On Flax SeedI get a chuckle watching weight loss ads on television that push pills because I have yet to see one that doesn?t have a disclaimer in small print declaring that the pill will have better results if followed by regular exercise and healthy eating habits. If someone starts on a diet pill and begins exercising and eating right, is it really the pill? Pushing pills is easy these days because so many people are looking for a quick remedy to their problems. Of all the problems people have, being over weight seems to be at the top of the list. Well, how on Earth does flax seed fit into this equation? I?m glad you asked.
Flax seed offers those who are looking to lose weight a couple of incentives. For one, flax seed is like a multivitamin because it has so many nutrients, including: proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, folate, vitamin B-6, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, iron, thiamine, copper, zinc, calcium, and phosphorus. I?m no nutritionist, but I?m sure plenty of them would agree with me that flax seed has an impressive resume on nutrients.
The second incentive flax seed offers its weight-losing consumers is the benefit of fiber. Fiber is nature?s bulking agent that swells three to four times its size when ingested. This tricks the stomach into thinking it?s more full than it really is and so it sends the message to the brain to stop filling the tank. I know there are a lot of pills out there that do the same thing, but they cost more than flax seed and have a list of possible side effects that is far longer than the list of nutrients (well, if a diet pill even has any nutrients).
Like many people in today?s demanding lifestyle I?m guilty of taking the fast road more often than the right road, but I?m trying hard to change my ways. After spending countless dollars on gimmicks and empty promises that came in cans and pill boxes, I?m doing everything I can to get back to the basics, the basics I learned as a child in elementary school watching the old videos on nutrition with the walking celery and carrot sticks playing on the school playground and having fun; they were happy because they were healthy. If eating right and exercising can work for singing broccoli and cauliflower, it can work for me. Hmm - I wonder if that carrot stick ate flax seed too?

I value down time and giving them a chance just to be kids; you want them to get their homework done first, because you value education. Perhaps I can take more responsibility for creating down time with the kids after the homework is done. In this way, they get the message that homework is important.

Now she was eating, but only a few limited things, and tiny amounts. Macaroni and cheese, rice, occasionally some diced pears. Most other things she wouldn�t touch. I tried everything; I even resorted to trying to offer ice cream and cookies in a desperate attempt to get her to eat. (She wouldn�t touch the ice cream� liked the cookies, though.) She refused to try the cake at her first birthday party, much to the disappointment of family and friends. I read all the tips and tricks I could find online; most didn�t work. I had what could officially be classified as a �picky eater.�

After birth, every newborn undergoes a variety of health screening exams. Usually these tests are performed between day two to day seven of life and involve the drawing of a few drops of blood from each newborn. The focus is primarily on genetic diseases such as phenylketonuria or sickle cell anemia which can become life threatening if left undetected. Children with such conditions are often required to adhere to strict diet and immunization guidelines. Therefore, parents need to be educated about the illness right from the beginning.
