Let’s Talk About Having A Healthy Child for a Minute…

I know that you want your children to be really healthy, otherwise I don’t think you’d be reading this post.  Sadly, health in our culture is not experienced quite enough – chronic food allergies, runny noses, re-occurring ear infections are far from healthy, but they are considered normal.  If I had a quarter for every time I’ve heard  a parent say, “My kids are healthy, they only have normal health problems like ear infections.” I’d be rich!

Yes, I do believe that children need to build up their immune systems.   I do think it is ok and good for children to get sick sometimes. But, should they really get sick that often?  Are re-occurring ear infections, the removal of tonsils, routine antibiotics, tube surgeries, behavioral problems and the like really normal?

Should Pregnant Women Eat Liver?

Should Pregnant Women Eat Liver?

In November I posted 10 Nourishing Foods to Eat During Pregnancy and since then I have had several individuals inquiring about my top #2 food on the list, liver.    Unfortunately, liver happens to be a controversial food for pregnant mammas,  it is high in the fat soluble vitamin A which is picked on for being toxic to infants in the womb.  Hopefully, no doctor would even deny that a mother is in need of vitamin A for both her and her developing infant, but is there really too much vitamin A in liver?
