BIZARRE PREGNANCY CRAVINGS

About 60% of pregnant women experience odd food cravings, often for foods they’ve never enjoyed before.  Some believe food cravings are your body’s way of indicating missing nutrients so for instance craving ice-cream could suggest a calcium deficiency.  We all know about the typical cravings for dill pickles, chilli or chocolate, but there are some truly bizarre combinations that can only be described as baffling for anyone else except the pregnant mom herself: to her, these cravings were heavenly ambrosia! Incredible non-ediblesThe strong desire to eat substances that are not foods is a disorder known as pica.  Some pregnant mums craved the smell of or wanted to taste the following: “I crave the smell of Radox rosemary stress-relief bath soak. I love it so much I could eat it. I can’t pass the bathroom without going for a sniff.”  Terri “I needed anything dusty! I loved Shake ‘n’ Vac. People stopped visiting because I used so much that they said they couldn’t breathe. I also craved bath salts, and ate a teaspoon every night. I could have eaten more but was worried that it wasn’t exactly good for me.” Ceris “I had a craving for sand and gravel. I live next to a beach, which was a bit of a nightmare. I couldn’t stop thinking about drinking sand.”  Sara “I loved chewing sponges in all my three pregnancies, especially after the sponge had been washed with Dove soap, and then rinsed.” Bernice Be grateful your only craving is for chocolate brownies with lashings of cream!  ☺ References:https://www.babycentre.co.uk/a4444/top-pregnancy-cravingshttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/craving/201306/what-really-causes-pregnancy-cravings 30 Aug 2018 A HAPPY TUMMY MEANS A HAPPY YOU 27 Jul 2018 HELP!

YOUR STOMACH PRODUCES HYDROCHLORIC ACID…

…the same stuff that masons use to clean bricks. Luckily, our stomachs are lined by a thick layer of mucus to protect us from the acid and the enzyme pepsin that it produces. The mixing motion of the stomach, along with the acid and the breakdown of protein by the pepsin, turns the bolus (the food you just swallowed) into a liquid substance called chyme, which in turn is then slowly released into the small intestine. For a full meal, this process takes approximately two to three hours. Very few substances are absorbed into the bloodstream directly from the stomach, and notably, these are the very substances that can cause stomach irritation: alcohol, aspirin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Otherwise all other nutrients are absorbed in your blood stream via the small and large intestines.

Natural dietary recommendations you should also be considering.

This month we’re talking about H.pylori  the bacterial stomach infection that can result in serious stomach ulcers, perforated ulcers and debilitating pain. Apart from using the Digestive Remedy™ , here are 4 natural dietary recommendations you should also be considering when managing the symptoms of H.pylori. Take probiotics. Probiotics are sources of “good” bacteria and yeasts normally found in the body’s microbiome. This includes species of lactobacillus, acidophilus, bifidobacteria, and the yeast saccharomyces boulardii. You can take these as a supplement (following the manufacturer’s instructions) or in foods. Preliminary evidence suggests this may help fight H. pylori. Eat pre-biotics.  Include pre-biotics which help support the healthy gut bacteria by providing food for the bacteria 2-3 times a week. Pre-biotic foods include whole grains, onions, bananas, garlic, honey, artichokes, and leeks. Consume fermented foods. Research has demonstrated that fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi benefit overall health and fight against H. pylori because they contain beneficial yeasts and bacteria known as probiotics. Studies have also shown that cabbage provides effective antibacterial activity against stomach ulcers caused by H. pylori, and broccoli sprouts specifically fight against and control it. H. pylori strains are also inhibited by using fresh garlic, onions and ginger simply as food seasonings, and healthy digestive bacteria remains unharmed. Good food sources of probiotics are fermented foods such as kefir, sauerkraut, pickles, kombucha (a fermented tea), tempeh, kimchi and other foods such as yogurt, miso soup, poi, asparagus, leeks, and onions. Include these foods at least 2-3 times a week in your diet. Use anti-bacterial herbs and spices. Spices such as thyme, cumin, tarragon, cinnamon, allspice and oregano provide strong protection against H. pylori, while spices with moderate antibacterial properties include the capsicum in hot peppers and chillies as well as white pepper, black pepper, anise and celery seed. Additionally, vinegars, such as balsamic, apple cider and wine vinegar, as well as lemon and lime juice help to increase the acidity in the stomach, which helps prevent H. pylori from propagating.   References: https://www.reference.com/health/foods-h-pylori-ad16508ef4585136 https://www.wikihow.com/Cure-H.-Pylori-Naturally     30 Aug 2018 A HAPPY TUMMY MEANS A HAPPY YOU 27 Jul 2018 HELP!
