Women’s Health Problems: Taking Back Your Health

August 19, 2017 by Rhonda Gales Leave a Comment

“Take care of your body” is the leading mantra of the 21^st century. It sounds like the most sensible and integral part of every lifestyle. However, it can come as an enormous surprise. As a matter of fact, this frame of mind virtually didn’t exist among global communities years ago. It was mostly related to extreme lifestyle enthusiasts, people with money and superstars.

Fortunately, taking care of one’s health has become quite common. We have so much access to detailed information related to medicine and biology today. The old saying goes – “prevention is better than cure.” So, it’s important to discuss some of the basic preventive health checkups every woman should do in order to reclaim their health.

Gynecological checkup

A gynecological checkup should be done once every six months, although once a year is also acceptable. Consult your doctor to determine the appropriate schedule for you. Additionally, this checkup should be an indispensable part of every modern woman’s schedule. When compared to other checkups, it is the one that is most consistently done.

A Pap Smear is still one of the most reliable procedures to detect cervical cancer. After the age of 20 and up until the age of 65, most women should do this test every three years. Based on your medical history, after the age of 65 testing may be discontinued. Consult your doctor with any questions or concerns.

Breast checkup

Doing a self-exam of your breasts is one of the key checkups in the life of every woman. Every woman should have a clinical breast exam every three years up until the age of 40. Examinations should be done yearly after the age of 40.

By combining extensive knowledge with detailed examination and thorough questioning, your health care provider can determine the health of your breasts pretty confidently. After the age of 50, every woman needs to start doing mammography tests, if not sooner. This test has been steeped in controversy because it uses ionizing radiation to detect malignant changes. The health community agrees that benefits outweigh the risks by a significant margin.

In these hectic times when most people are exposed to a lot of stress and a breakneck lifestyles, many institutions and celebrities like Kylie Minogue and Angelina Jolie, are trying to raise awareness of these issues.

Hormone balance checkup

Fatigue, mood swings, irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, and poor sleep are signs of a hormone imbalance. Additionally, noticeable skin changes can also be a sign. These are especially known to hit women who are entering menopause.

Saliva testing and blood testing are regular methods to test for imbalances. Most importantly, it influences your metabolism and cardiovascular system. In particular, the rate and strength of the heartbeat.

Heart checkup

Statistically speaking, men are more prone to heart problems. However, heart disease is a big issue for women as well. When we talk about heart problems, the first thing that comes to mind is a healthy diet. Nonetheless, some people have heart problems unrelated to diet and weight, and some of the problems are hereditary.

This is why checkups for heart disease are important. Blood pressure and weight measurement are the most noninvasive checkups. Blood tests take a prick in the thumb or the arm, but they are generally fast, and extremely important for monitoring your cholesterol levels and triglycerides.

Eye checkup

Of all the senses, the eyesight is the last one anyone would give up. So, have your eye examined at least once a year. Due to the lifestyle that includes a lot of eye strain, the eyesight problems are becoming more and more frequent. This is why Australia is one of the leading countries trying to raise awareness about the importance of regular eyesight checkups with its versatile eye health campaigns. For instance, you can do a complete specialized eye test in Parramatta and spend a little time on a non-invasive test that can mean a lot.

Scientific research has shown that, just like with the heart, a healthy diet and taking care of your weight can have a lasting positive impact on your eyesight.

Your body is your temple. Taking care of yourself has not only become a necessity, but a rite of passage to adulthood.

Buying the Right Breast Pump for You

August 11, 2017 by Rhonda Gales Leave a Comment

Motherhood involves a variety of big decisions. Some begin before birth ever occurs. One of the post-birth decisions will be that big choice regarding breast feeding. If you choose to breast feed, you’ll need to choose the best breast pump for your needs. You will need to consider your breasts, production, storage needs, and other factors that you will discuss with your health care provider before purchasing a breast pump. Check out our breast pump tips:

What will I need to consider when choosing a pump?

So, there are several factors that will help determine which pump is the best one for you. Some pumps are meant for women with average production. However, there are also pumps for women whose production is quite high. In fact, there are double pumps as well, which help to speed up the process and allow you to get back to what is important, taking care of your baby. We’ve created a list of breast pump tips to consider before you choose a pump that suits your needs.

Do you have low, average, or heavy milk production?
Do you have larger breasts than average?
Have you chosen a storage system already?
Do you have trouble with milk flow?
Do you have any skin allergies that may affect the material the pump is made of?
Are there any other concerns that could physically affect the type of pump you need?

It is important to answer the above questions honestly, writing it down if necessary. This will help when you speak to your doctor about what type of pump you may need if you do not decide on your own. The doctor can make suggestions for you. Also, there are plenty of resources for breast pump research that can help you decide, though it is best to speak to your doctor for the most in-depth suggestions.

Is there a time when I should wait to choose a pump?

Another reason you may need to speak to your health care provider is breast feeding problems. If you are having trouble breast feeding, you will need to determine the cause before making the decision to pump. Be sure to speak to your doctor about any unusual changes you may notice, such as swelling, redness, or unusual consistency in your breast milk.

By handling all of your concerns before buying a breast pump, and having a check-up to ensure you are breast feeding properly, you will be able to step up to the plate, select a pump, and continue to provide the best nutrition for your baby. This will also allow you to return to a normal routine, including returning to work, with peace of mind in the fact that you have made the right choice for yourself and your baby. We hope you found our breast pump tips helpful.

12 Tips on How To Keep a Clean House

August 10, 2017 by Rhonda Gales 1 Comment

Either you еnjоу housework оr уоu dоn’t. For most реорlе, іt іѕ a chore that hаѕ to bе dоnе аt least on a wееklу bаѕіѕ. Yоu can attempt tо make thеѕе chores mоrе enjoyable by fоllоwіng оur еаѕу tips on hоw tо keep a сlеаn hоuѕе.

Thеrе аrе several wауѕ you can go аbоut getting and keeping a clean hоuѕе. Belоw аrе a few ѕtерѕ on how keep a clean house:

Mаkе thе bеd аѕ soon аѕ уоu gеt up – Mаkіng the bed first thing in thе mоrnіng wіll kick-start your рrоduсtіvіtу lеvеlѕ. Furthermore, it will make it thаt muсh hаrdеr tо сrаwl bасk іntо bеd too.

Keep your bеdѕіdе tаblе tidy – Give уоur bedside tаblе a ԛuісk wіре whеn рісkіng uр your рhоnе іn the morning. That’s оnе lеѕѕ сhоrе tо tасklе оn thе wееkеnd.

Edіt your сlоѕеt as уоu go – For example, kеер a hаmреr or bаg in уоur closet where уоu can throw items оf сlоthіng thаt don’t work аnуmоrе. Sоrt thrоugh іt оnсе a mоnth, аnd tоѕѕ, dоnаtе, or sell.

Immеdіаtеlу rеhаng іtеmѕ уоu wоrе – Don’t juѕt throw сlоthеѕ оn a сhаіr. If thеу саn be wоrn оnсе more bеfоrе laundry dау, hang thеm. Kеер drу cleaned ready items іn a ѕераrаtе ѕесtіоn of your сlоѕеt.

Hаvе a dеdісаtеd hаmреr fоr every реrѕоn іn уоur home – Hаvе a laundry bаѕkеt fоr еасh реrѕоn іn уоur house. Plus аn extra hamper for linens. If уоu’rе fееlіng еxtrа оrgаnіzеd, uѕе hаmреrѕ that have two bаѕkеtѕ іn еасh ѕо уоu саn separate whites in аdvаnсе.

Stаrt a wаѕh cycle as ѕооn аѕ уоu gеt home – If you have еnоugh laundry, start a wаѕh сусlе in thе evenings. Give yourself enough time to dry and fold it before you head to bed. As a result, don’t lеt unfоldеd lаundrу mаkе it to the bеdrооm. Bе ruthlеѕѕ аbоut fоldіng/іrоnіng laundry as soon аѕ thе drуіng сусlе is dоnе.

Bе Happy with “Clеаn Enough” – As a реrfесtіоnіѕt, thіѕ іѕ рrоbаblу thе hаrdеѕt оnе fоr mе. Yоu wаnt уоur hоuѕе tо be rеlаtіvеlу сlеаn аnd tidy, but that doesn’t mеаn thаt еvеrу lіttlе thing hаѕ tо bе реrfесt. I always {trу!} tо fоllоw thе 80/20 rulе. That means that I аm hарру wіth 80% of the cleaning being dоnе. Don’t get саught uр in аll of the little details that make uр thе last 20% . For example, mаkіng sure еvеrу lіttlе ѕресk is сlеаnеd uр оff thе floor. Or, getting tо all оf thоѕе lіttlе out of thе wау and hаrd to rеасh рlасеѕ to duѕt. I’m nоt ѕауіng thаt thеу nеvеr need tо be сlеаnеd, but mаkе thеm part of a deep сlеаnіng rоutіnе rаthеr thаn уоur rеgulаr weekly сlеаnіng schedule.

Kеер Pареr Orgаnіzеd – If уоu hаvе piles оf papers аll оvеr уоur hоmе, thеn уоu’ll really want tо consider аdорtіng thіѕ hаbіt! File рареrѕ іmmеdіаtеlу іnѕtеаd of keeping papers hаngіng аrоund thе house. When bіllѕ соmе in, put thеm іn one place. Aftеr you’ve paid thе bіllѕ fіlе them immediately. Kеер mеnuѕ, coupons аnd оthеr mаіl уоu may nееd іn one place. Purge regularly.

Prіоrіtіzе – Nоt all сlеаnіng іѕ created еԛuаl. Mаkе a lіѕt оf whаt уоu wоuld like to gеt dоnе аnd then prioritize Decide what nееdѕ to bе dоnе and whаt can wаіt. Gіvеn the time thаt уоu have available, write down уоur tор 2 оr 3 {realistic!} сlеаnіng gоаlѕ. Stick wіth these bеfоrе аttеmрtіng tо dо оthеr thіngѕ. I always uѕеd tо hаtе writing оut lіѕtѕ, but I fіnd thаt іt rеаllу hеlрѕ me tо ѕtау focused.

Get thе Whоlе Fаmіlу Involved – Thіѕ іѕ оnе that I hаvе rеаllу trіеd tо wоrk on lаtеlу. Yеѕ, іt is оftеn actually еаѕіеr tо just dо the job yourself. However, ѕреndіng thе tіmе tо tеасh уоur children tо dо аgе аррrорrіаtе jоbѕ will bе bеttеr fоr bоth оf you. Stаrt bу juѕt wоrkіng оn having уоur kids рісk up аftеr themselves. This includes puttіng thеіr соаt and ѕhоеѕ аwау whеn they соmе іn thе hоuѕе. Additionally, putting dishes іn the dіѕhwаѕhеr and сlеаnіng thеіr room. Add in оthеr сhоrеѕ аѕ they are аblе to accomplish the goal. It’ѕ аmаzіng hоw much оf a dіffеrеnсе it can mаkе іn the оvеrаll tіdіnеѕѕ of thе hоuѕе іf ѕіmрlе things аrе dоnе. Ovеr time this wіll start tо bе a hаbіt fоr thеm. They should еvеntuаllу bе аblе to do chores wіth minimal reminders.

Keep Bаѕіс Clеаnіng Suррlіеѕ Clоѕе tо Where Yоu Use Thеm – I have аll of our bаthrооmѕ ѕtосkеd with bаѕіс сlеаnіng supplies. This includes miсrоfіbеr сlоthѕ аnd a роlіѕhіng cloth; a tоіlеt ѕсrub bruѕh аnd a ѕрrау bоttlе wіth wаtеr аnd vіnеgаr {оr a multі-рurроѕе сlеаnеr оf уоur сhоісе}. This mаkеѕ it ѕо much ԛuісkеr and easier tо gіvе the tоіlеt a ԛuісk ѕwіре оr wіре thе grоѕѕ tооthраѕtе ѕріt frоm the mirror іnѕtеаd of hаvіng to track dоwn сlеаnіng ѕuррlіеѕ. Trу to dо these ѕіmрlе tаѕkѕ as уоu see thе need – mоѕt of thеm take оnlу a minute or twо – and іt wіll rеаllу reduce hоw often you need tо do a tор tо bottom deep сlеаn.

Dесluttеr – This оnе may nееd tо be implemented over a lоngеr реrіоd оf tіmе. However, tаkіng the tіmе tо declutter аnd оrgаnіzе уоur hоmе wіll drastically cut down оn thе amount оf time nееdеd tо clean. Hаvіng a ѕроt fоr еvеrуthіng makes іt so muсh easier tо tidy uр. Also, lеѕѕ іtеmѕ on thе соuntеrѕ and ѕurfасе tорѕ cuts down оn duѕtіng, and mаkеѕ сlеаnіng quicker.

4 Benefits of Reading to Children

August 9, 2017 by Rhonda Gales Leave a Comment

Today, we’re sharing parenting tips on the benefits of reading to children. Reading to children during bedtime has been a staple in raising children for many parents. However, the activity goes beyond being a means to strengthen the ties between parent and child. Additionally, science has proven that kids can gain a lot of benefits from the activity.

Benefits of Reading to Your Children:

It helps them develop their vocabulary

One of the most obvious benefits of reading to children is that it helps them learn new words. According to G. Reid Lyon, at the National Institute of Child Health and Development, reading can increase brain activity. Specifically, it stimulates the auditory cortex, which is the part of the brain that handles language sounds. The more they become exposed to words, the quicker it will take them to process and learn them.

It helps stimulate their imagination

You might find it hard to believe that imagination can actually be measured by science, but that is exactly what a medical team from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center did. An article on WebMD summarized the results of their research, which revealed that reading to children helps stimulate brain activity.

The study revealed that the more time children were exposed to reading at home, the more they showed brain activity while listening to stories at the laboratory. Dr. John Hutton, who led the team, stated that this was an indication that reading to children can help fire up their imagination. Scientists believe that early reading can help develop children’s literacy later on in life.

It helps advance their skills

In 2013, the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research discovered that children aged 4-5 years old who read 3-5 times a week have the same reading skills of kids who are older than them by 6 months. The older children read less than twice a week. Furthermore, the study discovered that reading to kids 6-7 times weekly can help them become on par with those who are nearly a year older than them.

These promising results go beyond the laboratory. The author and illustrator Nadia Shireen, who, in an interview with Tootsa, revealed that as a child, she went to the library regularly. As a result, it inspired her to pursue her profession.

Reading does not just improve children’s adeptness to words. It can even improve their mathematical skills. An article on The Guardian discussed how this could be due to the fact that reading makes kids more receptive to new ideas, enabling them to pick up skills, including involving numbers, much faster.

It teaches them coping skills

Reading can also help children learn coping skills. Books can help children learn how to better handle difficult situations. Additionally, books serve as a temporary escape that they can turn to in times of stress.

What Not to Wear for a Passport Photo

August 6, 2017 by Rhonda Gales 1 Comment

Have an international trip coming up, and you need a passport photo? First, obtaining a passport photo is a major step to getting your passport. Second, not following the State Department’s rules will certainly qualify you for a returned application. So, before you head to the photo store to obtain a passport photo become knowledgeable.

Don’t count on the photographer knowing the rules. Most don’t, so educate yourself before you leave home. I had to have my passport photo retaken because I wore a headband. I was so glad the photo shop was close to the passport application office. However, it was frustrating and time consuming to have it done twice.

Here are a few tips:

Hats – No baseball caps, fedoras, straw hat, cowboy/cowgirl hats or any other head covering is allowed.

Head Scarves – Scarves worn for religious purposes are allowed. However, scarves worn for fashion are not.

Headband – Avoid anything that will obstruct your hairline. This includes headbands and/or scarves.

Glasses – Glasses are not allowed. This includes prescription or sunglasses.

Uniform – Military, scrubs, police or security guards and/or pilot uniforms are not allowed. Religious clothing is allowed.

A Smile – As of 2016, the State Department does not allow passport applicants to smile in their photos.

Electronic Headgear – This includes earphones, Bluetooth or other electronic devices.

The State Department requires that an applicant’s picture not be older than 6 months. Why, because the State Department wants the photo to reflect your current appearance. Furthermore, your photo must be 2 x 2. Therefore, wherever you have your passport photo taken, they should return to you in the correct size. As a result, it will need to fit into the appropriate area on your passport application. You will want to implement the following too:

The background of the photo must be solid white
The photo must be in color
Photo paper should be glossy or a matte finish
Lay infants on a white sheet or infant blanket. Next, place the white sheet or blanket in the carrier or on the area provided. Most importantly, your child should be able to look into the camera, and their eyes must be open.
