Bedbugs... Know The Facts!

According to the Ohio Department of Health, bedbugs are making a big comeback due to the fact of a reduced use of home pesticides. Also, because of our mobile society, bedbugs are also coming with us.

A very important thing to take note is that;-in order to avoid bringing those tiny bloodsuckers home, check your hotel room. When you return home, wash your clothing in hot water, dry it on a hot cycle and vacuum your luggage or suitcase.

You can spot them behind the headboard and in the matress seams for little brown things moving or looking like droplets that stain the sheets. Adults are colored brown and the size of a lentil, and babies are yellow and even smaller.

Be sure to take note how their bites look like. They can show up as red welts or be invisible. Bites can take up to 2 weeks to appear.

If you have comfirmed you have bedbugs at home, put clothes and your linens in a dryer on high heat because bugs can't survive temperatures over 113F.
Call a professional who can kill bugs hiding in deep crevices and to debug your bed frame. Don't try using pesticides that are meant to be used outdoors which can be poisonous. Also, plastic casing on your mattress can suffocate bugs.

Although bedbugs don't transmit diseases, they can cause a lot of anxiety.

Breastfeeding For Moms...Are You In It?

Here is something to look at about the pros and cons of breastfeeding. It has been a topic that divides the group. See the reasons why:

The PROs:

Breasfeeding is convenient since you don't have to buy breast milk or make up bottles. This saves time and money too!

Breastfeeding (BF) promotes bonding, because when mothers nurse their infant, they get sense of well-being. You can say thanks to the feel-good brain chemical called prolactin and oxytocin. Although according to Dr. R. Booth an ob-gyn in Louisville, KY oxytocin is also secreted by touch, so that the kind of contact you get from bottle-feeding works too.

BF helps most moms heal faster due to the fact that oxytocin release causes mild contractions that helps the uterus shrink back to normal size.

If a mom is breastfeeding exclusively, there's no need for her to use birth control for the first 6 months. The chances of pregnancy are less than 2% as long as conditions are met.

BF can as well reduces the risk of some cancers according to some studies. It lowers the risk of breast cancer by up to 10% and it has also been shown that it reduces the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers.

Babies that are breastfed, even if he gets only a few sips of breast milk in the first few days can strengthen the baby's immune system, according to Dr. Renna, a pediatrician in NY and author of "Medical Truths Revealed!" It's because of the colostrum present in breastmilk, a thick and yellowish substance, packed with immunoglobulins that kill bacteria and viruses.

Breast milk has some omega-3 fatty acids that boosts brain function.

CONs:

BF isn't easy especially at first. There is a 2-week learning curve recommended for a breast feeding class and some line up supports too, because some moms have a harder time than others due to variety of reasons.

Mothers gotta pump because newborns tend to eat every 2-3 hours.

According to Dr. Booth, BF can be extremely painful because moms can suffer from bleeding nipples, uncomfortable engorged breasts, low grade yeast infections of nipples and mastitis.

Mothers has to watch what she eats and drinks such as too much caffeine, alcohol some fish and spicy foods, broccoli and many medications.

It also lowers the libido because moms typically don't ovulate while nursing.

While breastfeeding burns up to 500 calories a day, it also lowers estrogen levels, making nursing moms insulin-resistant, so they process carbs less efficiently. The result is that they tend to keep on a little more weight than non-nursing moms-about 5-10 pounds, until they stop.

Reliable Babysitter

Guest written by our friend Katie Callahan

It’s nice having a reliable babysitter so I don’t have to worry too much about the kids. Being able to go to work and keep my mind on the office and not what’s going on at home has been such a joy and I know that I’m going to perform better for it. I love being part of a team and my office really allows me the creative outlet I need to feel good about being away from home. My kids are the most important thing to me so I got Home Security Anchorage to feel safer and I even talked to the local volunteer deputy about driving by once a day just to make sure everything’s okay. I wish I could afford to stay home with them full time but it’s just not going to happen – I’ve got to get out there and make money so I can send them to camp and allow them to go to college later and all that – it’s important to me to be the best mother I can be!

Musts For Women To Lower Their Risk of Breast Cancer

Although we don't have total control over our risk for this disease, nearly 40% of all breast cancer cases in the US annually could be prevented with healthy lifestyles, such as eating right and exercising.

Based on a research showing postmenopausal women who are obese, they are 1.5x likely to develop breast cancer as to their normal weight counterparts, and are at a significant higher risk of dying from the disease.
So, stay at a healthy weight as much as you can.

Based on a National Cancer Institute research, exercising 4x or more a week can decrease estrogen levels and in turn can help lower breast cancer risk.

There is a well defined connection between drinking alcohol and breast cancer risk. The more alcohol you take, the greater the risk. Those who have 2-5 alcohol drinks a day have about 1.5x the cancer risk. So, limit yourself to no more than one alcoholic beverage per day. Typical amount should be like 12-oz beer, a 5-oz glass of wine or 1.5oz of liquor).

It's always good to know your family history. If you have a mother, grandmother, maternal aunt who have/had breast cancer at age 50 or earlier, you may carry the gene mutation that can place your lifetime risk of breast cancer at 60%. Talk to your doctor about genetic testing and know what protective measures you can take.

Eat healthy. A diet rich in fruits, veggies, fish, olive oil, whole grains and legumes can help reduce risk of breast cancer in post menopausal women.

Check you Vitamin D levels. A study found out that the higher levels of D meant 50% of lowering your risk to breast cancer.
