Many women experience pregnancy symptoms such as swollen legs and ankles which are caused by fluid retention and can get worse during hot weather or when standing for long periods of time. This can be helped by avoiding too much salt or processed ready made foods and meals. Drinking plenty of fluids on a daily basis and massaging your legs (or getting your partner to do it) from the ankle upwards will also help as well as soaking your feet in a bucket of cool water. Leafy vegetables, bananas and apricots should also help regulate your body’s fluid levels as they are rich in potassium.

Itchy skin is caused by the hormonal changes and in the summer this can feel worse and become almost unbearable. Take regular cool baths or showers in the hot summer months and wear lightweight clothes made from natural fabrics in order to allow your skin to breathe. Calamine lotion can help ease the itchiness when applied to the areas in question and try to use unscented soaps and bath products instead of fragranced ones. If severe itching persists, especially during the third trimester and on the hands and feet, make an appointment with your local doctor to have it looked at. Hopefully between the two articles of information we have covered the most common pregnancy symptoms that mum’s to be experience and you have found our tips and advice useful.

Frozen bananas are a healthy picnic food idea that many people pack in their baskets as an alternative to ice cream or lollies. Pack them ready-frozen so that by the time you are ready to eat them they will have softened up a bit. Strawberries are another favourite for the kids and always associated with summer. Crammed with vitamin C, strawberries are a perfect addition to your basket of snacks and foods. Humous or cooked cold chicken are popular as well. Humous makes a great and tasty dip for carrots or bread sticks and cooked chicken fillets cut into strips are a healthy source of protein.

Babybel cheeses are the ideal bite-sized treat for you and the kids. They are a great source of calcium and come in their own wrapping. Alternatively, or in addition, hard-boiled eggs are great and also packed with nutrients such as vitamins A, B and D for immunity, energy and strong healthy bones. Carrots are good, so are cherry tomatoes, especially perfect for the little ones with little hands. Flapjack is a nice alternative to chocolate, especially in the summer as it won’t melt in the sun. Whatever you decide to take, make sure recipes remain simple, food basic yet tasty and healthy to make sure you get the most out of your picnic food and your day out at one of the popular places around South Africa.

Among the other common symptoms of pregnancy experienced is backache and pains which is largely due to the extra weight being carried. Posture and stretching excersises are good for easing aching muscles and gentle excercise such as walking or swimming will help to keep the spine flexible. Warm baths and gentle back massages can assist in relieving the aches experienced when pregnant. If your back pain is extreme and persistent than it is advisable to make an appointment with a local physio who will help and advise with your specific problem and area of pain.

Heartburn is another one, that horrible burning sensation experienced in the chest area caused by those pregnancy hormones. Tips to help cure heartburn include avoiding rich, high fat, spicy or acidic foods, chocolate and coffee. Eating smaller meals and eating a little often can help in giving the stomach less time to build up acid. Sipping peppermint tea can help and Gaviscon is safe for most people to take although get the all clear from your local doctor first.

Further ingredients used in smoothies recipes to produce healthy fruit drinks are blackberry’s, blueberry’s, raspberry’s, pomegranate and apple, along with others such as cranberry or pear. Different blends will please different tastes and what may be enjoyed by one consumer is often detested by another so it is important to experiment with different ingredients and flavours. An increasing amount of retailers around the world are realising the demand for health drinks in the market place and stocking pre-made smoothie drink products in their stores and franchises.

Change seems to be taking place globally amongst consumers who are shopping with a more health conscious mind and it looks as though carbonated drinks sales are set to drop in time as shoppers seek out healthier products. Blends, flavours and formats are evolving on a daily basis as large beverage companies continue to experiment. Buying pre-made blends is convenient if you can find flavours you enjoy at the local shops but we feel it is more fun to invent your own smoothies recipes and experiment with different ingredients to create healthy fruit drinks for you and the family at home in the blender.

Types of mosquito bite preventions include netted clothing (not very fashionable at the moment) or various creams and sprays that can be applied safely to the skin on the body. The sprays and creams must be used with caution on young children and women and not be sprayed on the face, inhaled or rubbed anywhere near the eyes. Most good prevention treatments will last between 8-10 hours assuring you of a reasonable nights sleep if you are out at night in the bush on safari for example. A natural repellent used worldwide with good success to stop mosquito’s in their tracks is lemon eucalyptus oil. However, lemon eucalyptus oil is not recommended for use on children under the age of four years old.

Treatments to cure mosquito bites if they have occurred may depend on how severe the bites and the type of reaction that has been experienced. For example if heart palpitations and swelling in places other than where the bite is located are experienced then emergency medical treatment needs to be sought quickly. If you have been bitten many times then using antihistamine cream such as Antisan will help when applied only to the affected areas. A simple cold shower can help relieve swelling and the itching feeling for a while but there are some good creams available that will stop the annoying itch of most mosquito bites.

In South Africa teeth whitening treatment is becoming more popular especially for people that have stains from food and drinks such as red wine, coffee or tea and nicotine stains from smoking. Some people have staining under the surface which may have been caused by taking antibiotic medication or other things and want them whitened again. For best results a patient will take two or three visits to the dentist over a period of about three weeks to a month. After which they will be given a treatment to continue at home for another two to four weeks in order to get the maximum results and the most beautiful white smile possible.

The effects of this process can last up to three years but if you are smoking regularly it will be less likely to last that long as well as if you are drinking and eating products that cause stains. It is best to consult your dentist for advice before you start with any treatment, even if you are going to use the home based kits like the ‘Zoom’ professional tooth whitening system. There are no major side effects to having this done although some people may experience sensitivity to cold afterwards, discomfort in the gums or a sore throat. These side effects are not serious providing they do not persist and normally will not last very long after the process.

Home kits are readily available and cheaper than having your dentist carry out the procedure but they are not really recommended as they are not as effective or as safe as having your smile made brighter by a professional. Toothpastes are available at supermarkets and pharmacies that can help a little in removing stains and improving the overall appearance of your smile but they will not be effective in getting your teeth really white. These toothpastes are however good to use after you have been through a professional teeth whitening treatment and will help keep your smile bright and white.
