My Head is Spinning! Vertigo and Dizziness…

November 14th, 2008 | Add a Comment

Mot of us take the ability to stand upright for granted. In fact, we can stand still without needing to hold on to something for support. Notwithstanding specific impairments, the human balance system allows us to do this. However, not everyone’s systemic balance allows for the ability to walk with ease. Vertigo or dizziness are terms used to describe the effects of the impaired balance system. Though these feelings have differences, I will use the terms interchangeably since the root cause is the same. We’ve all felt dizziness and had vertigo at some time in our life. Be it from sailing in bad waves, driving on a dusty road, traveling to a high altitude or even having a few too many at the bar (I could tell you some … Read entire article »

Prenatal Vitamins – Do You Really Need Them?

November 11th, 2008 | Add a Comment

Prenatal vitamins are a hot topic among many women these days and many of them are talking about the benefits of using them before getting pregnant. The reasoning is that prenatal vitamins may help prevent some birth defects. Prenatal vitamins, in my opinion, should probably become part of the diet plan for expecting mothers. Pregnancy greatly increases the need for some nutrients and it can be hard to meet these needs through diet alone. Iron and folic acid are two such nutrients. Pregnancy is a time when both mother and baby are growing quickly. This rapid growth increases the demand for all nutrients, and the development of the baby and placenta are directly influenced by the mother’s nutritional status. Doctors will often prescribe a prenatal vitamin to a pregnant … Read entire article »
