New moms who have just given birth or that are still pregnant often don't remember to eat because they are putting everyone else's needs first. But it is very important that she take care of herself. We need moms to be healthy so we can have healthy families.
Here are a few tips:
- All women should take an Omega 3 supplement especially if she is in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy. While the baby develops inside of her, her body will almost be depleted of Omega 3 because of the great need of the baby developing. Under normall circumstances it can take up to 36 months for a mother to regain her normall Omega 3 fatty acids level. Experts now think this may be one cause of postpartum depression. You should check to make sure the Omega 3 supplement you are considering does not contain any contaminants such as this Omega 3,6,9 product.
- Mother's during pregnancy also have an increased need for calories, vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, trace elements, fiber and enzymes. A mother should consider a meal replacement shake or meal replacement soup that contains all the above mentioned. Pregnant women can use them as a snack instead of a meal replacement. This insure the women of getting all the nutrition she needs during pregnancy. These shakes have been known to minimize pregnancy cravings of sweets and salt.
- The recommended 30 to 40 grams per day of protein while you are pregnant is very difficult to achieve. That is why it is recommended for pregnant women to add a protein powder to their meal replacement shakes. The protein powder that we recommend contains 18 grams of high quality organic whey protein in every scoop.
A woman who follows the above recommended plan will be getting more essential nutrients in her body while feeling good about herself. If you are pregnant or breast feeding you should consult your physican before taking any supplements.

Why We Need to Cleanse!
We need to cleanse for one simple reason - we live in a very toxic world. And these toxins are entering our bodies through the food that we eat, the water that we drink, and the air that we breathe. Toxins can even enter our bodies through our skin.
The Environmental Protection Agency conducted a survey of human fat tissue back in 1976 to measure the toxins found in the tissue cells. They found 54 different environmental chemical toxins in the samples. Some of the toxins were styrene, xylene, benzene, ethyl benzene, and polychlorinated biphenols. It is no longer a question of "IF" we are carrying and storing toxins in our bodies, but how the toxins we have in our bodies are affecting our overall health.
In Michigan a study was done on 4 year olds and it showed that 70% of the children had DDT in their system. The primary source for these children being exposed to such chemical is while they are being nursed as babies. This is why it is so important for Mothers and women who are thinking of getting pregnant to cleanse their bodies of these toxins before they conceive. It only makes sense that we all should use internal cleansing to rid our bodies of these harmful toxins.
We have found that fat cells will mold around these toxins in our bodies trying to protect our bodies from the toxins. This leads to much of the obsecity that we see today. This makes it easy to see how cleansing our bodies internally can result in weight loss, sustained energy and vitality.
It is important to use a cleanse program that is well balanced and will strengthen the immune system while ridding the body of impurities. A great cleansing program should also include the nutrients in the right balance to give you the ability to fight off these toxins.
