			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After describing some common <a href="http://www.slimfish.co.za/symptoms-of-pregnancy/">pregnancy symptoms</a> recently we decided to offer some more information on a couple of the issues that pregnant women have to deal with and a few words of advice in dealing with them. Mood swings are common due to raging hormones and PMS type outbursts can leave you ecstatic the one minute and in tears the next! Anxiety about the birth and disturbed sleep, as well as worries about how you will cope as a mother are enough to give any expectant mum the blues. Exercise is a great way to heighten your mood and get the &#8216;feel good&#8217; endorphins flowing. Regular meals to keep <a href="http://www.slimfish.co.za/low-blood-pressure-symptoms-and-treatment/">blood sugar levels</a> stable and swapping sugary sweets and chocolate with wholesome alternatives will help as well as relaxation and regular treats.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s fluid levels as they are rich in potassium.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.slimfish.co.za/symptoms-of-pregnancy/">information</a> we have covered the most common pregnancy symptoms that mum&#8217;s to be experience and you have found our tips and advice useful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Picnic food ideas for those heading out to <a href="http://www.slimfish.co.za/picnic-spots-around-south-africa/">spots</a> around Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth and areas all over South Africa will help to make the time a special one. It is quite easy to pack hamper with a portable lunch that&#8217;s brilliant and tasty for the whole family along with plenty of water to keep the little ones hydrated as they race around! Breadsticks and rice cakes are a good start, no need to worry about making fiddly sandwiches, these will provide the children with plenty of carbs to keep their energy levels up so that they can really enjoy themselves while playing.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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 <a href="http://www.slimfish.co.za/picnic-spots-around-south-africa/">popular places</a> around South Africa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Symptoms of pregnancy differ from one woman to the next and you will be extremely fortunate to sail through without a niggle here and there but there are many ways to deal with the aches and pains to boost your well being. The first 12 weeks usually sees the early morning sickness experience, not nice as those who have experienced will testify. Eating toast in bed in the mornings can help raise blood sugar levels, fruit may freshen your palate and ginger tea can help with the queasiness. Over tiredness makes the morning sickness experience worse so get lots of rest and if you are vomiting persistently, best to make an appointment with your local doctor.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. If you experience heartburn worse at night time, avoid eating three hours before going to sleep and try to sleep in a slightly elevated position to help keep stomach acids down. There are many other common symptoms of pregnancy that women experience which we will cover in the near future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smoothies recipes for those wanting to make healthy fruit drinks as part of a breakfast meal or for anytime of the day are becoming more and more popular as consumers worldwide begin to realise the potential health benefits. Ingredients such as strawberry&#8217;s, banana, mango, passion fruit and pineapple can be blended and used in drinks to start off a health conscious day. Perhaps one of the most popular reasons for people looking to pre-blend a smoothie is the fact that they can take it with them to work, school or just about anywhere and consume it on-the-go.</p>
<p>Further ingredients used in smoothies recipes to produce healthy fruit drinks are blackberry&#8217;s, blueberry&#8217;s, raspberry&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mosquito bites are common in South Africa and prevention of getting bitten is better than cure but there are treatments available for those who have a few or are covered in bites. There is no malaria to worry about in this country as the buzzing little insects throughout SA are not carriers of the disease. Swamps, dams, marshy areas, rivers and just about anywhere there is water and often an abundance of trees are the kind of places that mosquito&#8217;s breed and are found in their millions! Camping for example will put you within their blood sucking range and prevention is advised if you are going to be staying on a camp site anywhere near water.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tea tree oil products include skin wash, creams, shampoo, conditioner or tablets and can be used to treat acne, warts, lice, stings, sinus, burns and much more ailments besides. It is distilled from the Australian tree Melaleuca Alternifolia and was first used medicinally by Australian aborigines before being identified as an antiseptic by the New South Wales chief chemist during the 1920&#8217;s. It is only in the last 30 years however that the Melaleuca Alternifolia has been cultivated intensively as a commercial agricultural crop.</p>
<p>Many companies now sell tea tree oil products to help heal a number of different ailments among which the most popular uses are for acne, warts, lice, eczma and sunburn. Moisturising creams, body lotions, soaps, face cleansing washes, shampoo&#8217;s and conditioner&#8217;s are also popular treatments among those who use the oil. This treatment is gaining in popularity around the world as a natural antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory agent medicine and is being used by patients with some outstanding results.</p>
<p>People with eczma and psoriasis have found the cream to be beneficial when it comes to softening and protecting the dry rough skin that is typical of these conditions. Mouth ulcers, gumboils and fever blisters are conditions that have been treated successfully using the oil. Infections and re-infections can be prevented by adding a capful to a regular bath. Products are sold over the counter and for those looking at natural medicine&#8217;s to treat skin problems, heal wounds, soothe sunburn and much more, the tea tree oil products are definitely worth a look.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Teeth whitening treatment is available for both men and women alike and professional treatments can whiten and brighten even the dullest of smiles and are affordable for every budget. There are a few options available to people who are looking at doing this including using a home bleaching kit such as the &#8216;Zoom&#8217; system with step by step instructions on how to make your teeth whiter yourself. Or booking a session at a local dentist who will be able to advise on if you are suitable for the treatment and supervise the process if you are.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8216;Zoom&#8217; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Low blood pressure causes symptoms due to the low flow of blood through the veins and treatment will vary from one patient to the next depending on the cause. Hypotension is another name used for this and symptoms may include dizziness, fainting and the feeling of being light headed. These effects are usually experienced the most when a person goes from a lying or seated position to a standing position. There is the possibility that an inadequate flow of blood to a body&#8217;s organs can cause heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure to name a few of the more severe possibilities.</p>
<p>Common causes of low blood pressure can include heart disease, medications and a reduced overall volume of blood in the body. Blood tests, radiologic studies and cardiac testing can be carried out to determine the cause in an effort to diagnose the correct treatment to a patient. Patients on insulin medication for diabeties often experience irregularities in their blood pressure and anyone experiencing the symptoms associated with hypotension should consult their local doctor as soon as possible for professional advice and the correct treatment necessary for them.</p>
<p>It is possible that you may have hypotension if your pressure is at a constant high for long periods of time. It is normal for it to be high during periods of excercise or stressful situations but if it is staying that way when you are resting then you could well have a problem. If you suspect that their may be something wrong because of some of the symptoms you are experiencing then make an appointment with your local doctor to ask him or her if you have a low blood pressure problem and get advice on the correct treatment for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Healthy diet plan tips will help people to add natural benefit to any weight loss program and get into better shape for the approaching summer. It is almost the season of sunshine, sandy beaches, poolside parties, shorts and swimwear and misery for many people who are carrying more weight than they feel they would like to show the world. Those that are overweight often feel like hiding their winter flab behind a large beach towel or a loose shirt instead of exposing themselves amongst all the confident beach goers in their skimpy swimwear.</p>
<p>Amongst the useful healthy diet plan tips available is top of the list &#8211; drink at least eight glasses of liquid a day, preferably water and try to limit your caffeine intake. You may drink rooibos and other herbal teas and one sugar free cool drink per day. Use a cup of low-fat milk to put in your tea and other drinks. Do not drink more than one full glass of fruit juice each day. Do not follow any calorie controlled eating program for longer than a six week period without consulting your doctor. Also, supplement your food intake with a good multi vitamin and try to take omega 3 fish oil supplements as well.</p>
<p>Of course excersise is going to speed up your weight loss considerably and that does not mean having to run the comrades or swim across oceans. You can take the dog for a daily half an hour walk at a pace that raises your heart rate or get that bicycle out of the garage and wake up early each morning to go for a 30 minute ride around your local area. Dig out your old tennis racket or golf clubs, start swimming at your local public swimming pool, join the gym. Whatever you decide to do as an activity the most important thing is to just get your heart rate going quicker than normal which stimulates your metabolism and helps you to lose extra kilojoules in conjunction with your healthy diet plan program.</p>
