There was a time not so long ago when breastfeeding was considered very unfashionable, and mothers to be simply refused to contemplate it. I respectfully suggest that it is much much more important than simply to be treated as a fashion statement. nnIn recent years however, I am glad to say that attitudes towards breastfeeding have changed quite dramatically. it is now regarded as much more acceptable, and in fact is now considered as the norm for expecting mothers.nnI would

There is no doubt that maternity clothes can be very expensive. In fairness, this is probably for the simple reason that most styles require quite a bit of additional fabric to accommodate your rapidly growing belly. However there are ways to get affordable maternity clothes without breaking the bank, or looking unfashionable and frumpy.nnThe very fact that you are expecting, is in itself probably one of the most important times in your life, and the last thing that you want

I am sure that you will agree with me when I say that we constantly see the faces of well known celebrities plastered all over the glossy magazines, on television, and even on billboards. They are everywhere we look, and usually the latest fad diet that they are on, or have just recently been on, to lose lots of weight, is featured prominently as well. nnThe pictures of these famous celebrities look absolutely amazing, obviously after they have been primped and preened, and t

I would be willing to bet that a high percentage of the people who read this article, will do so because the title attracted their attention. Absolutely why not, if I saw a title like that I would be attracted to it too.nnI said in an piece that I wrote very recently, that I am on a mission, so I have decided that the theme of all the articles that I am going to write over the next few weeks will in effect have the theme of " Back To The Basics". Probably you will not find an

I very much doubt that there will be any information in this article that is either completely new, or indeed will come as a stunning revelation to anyone who has been concerned with losing weight during their life. Actually that is not my purpose in writing this piece as it happens. nnAs someone who has been concerned about my weight, and has been into health and fitness for most of my adult life, I have been of the opinion for a long time now that we are all beginning to su

The concept of green tea being good as an aid to weight loss, has been known for some considerable time now. It will probably be the case therefore, that the information contained in this article is not new to many of the people who will read it.nnHowever as an enthusiastic advocate of green tea, I thought that I would sing its praises again. As a good friend said to me recently, often you have to be reminded of things that you already know, or have heard of before, to actual

As someone who has had to struggle with my weight management for all of my adult life, there have been many many occasions when I have asked myself whether or not I was having any success at all. There are so many conflicting pieces of advice, and articles published in women's magazines in particular, telling you the do's and don'ts of successful weight management, and weight loss techniques, that quite frankly, I for one often end up totally bamboozled by it all.nnI think th

At the beginning of each New Year, you cannot fail to notice the local Leisure Centres, Sports Clubs, Gymnasiums, etc etc, are suddenly full to overflowing. Without exception, most of us are suffering badly at that point in time, from the excesses of the festive season. You can safely bet that everyone of those people has solemnly vowed that this year will be totally different from the one just past.nnThis is all very laudable, but I have to pose the question as to how long t

I recently was prompted to publish an article dealing with health related issues involving our choice of diet, and particularly with regard to the very unhealthy diet which we traditionally have in my part of the world, namely Central Scotland in the UK.nnI expained that I was motivated to publish that article after seeing a very graphic billboard showing two giant grey hands sqeezing the life out of a human heart. I complimented our Health Authorities for the very effective

I decided to tackle this subject because until quite recently, it was one of my biggest downfalls. I suspect that it might, and I do repeat the word might, be a problem which affects women more than men. nnAfter all, we do tend to deprive ourselves more than men, and being totally realistic, although men nowadays are much more concerned about their weight and health, they do not take it to extremes as a general rule.nnWomen are much more susceptible to mood swings, mainly cau
