Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Nutrition Month - Nutrition for WomenWomen incur their own unique health issues - such as pregnancy, PMS and cervical cancer. The good news is many related symptoms can be affected by diet. Consider the following: To ease side effects of pre-menstrual syndrome, increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids; use only hormone-free meats, poultry and dairy products; eat soy foods regularly; and eliminate all sources of caffeine. If you are pregnant and have morning sickness, keep your stomach partially full by eating crackers, dry toast, or dry cereal before you get out of bed in the morning; snack on dry, starchy foods later in the day; sip clear liquids between meals; and consider ginger to keep your stomach calm. If you are predisposed to cervical cancer, help lessen the risks by eating generous amounts of vegetables and fruits, especially in the cabbage family, increasing your intake of B vitamins including folic acid, pyridoxine and riboflavin, and taking a daily antioxidant formula. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public".
