Liquid Green Goodness!

 

Are you anemic?

Anemia is a condition in which there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. If you are anemic, you may feel tired or weak. Loss of blood is the most common cause of anemia. That's why women who are menstruating or who have just given birth are often susceptible to anemia.

Taking chlorophyll can help relieve anemia--and can help you have more energy even if you aren't anemic. Chlorophyll stimulates the production of red blood cells and helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the body and the brain, which means more energy for you.

Chlorophyll has great cleansing properties as well. It is called an "internal deodorizer." Regular use of chlorophyll can improve bad breath, as well as lessen the odors of urine and feces and odors accompanying perspiration.

In the video below, Stephanie Tallent talks about how useful Liquid Chlorophyll can be during pregnancy.  Her "green goodness" drink consists of a glass of water with about a teaspoon of Liquid Chlorophyll and few drops of Liquid Stevia added to it.

Yeast Assassin Lite

This is a follow-up to yesterday's post
("I'm not sick. I just don't feel good!")
 about curbing yeast overgrowth and boosting the growth of good bacteria.

If you are a pregnant mom, a nursing mother, a young teenager, or an adult who has had trouble with previous yeast cleanses, consider taking Yeast Assassin Lite instead of Yeast Assassin.

Yeast Assassin Lite includes only one ingredient:  caprylic acid. 

Caprylic acid is an essential fatty acid naturally derived from coconut oil and palm kernel oil.  It is easily digested and is safe for pregnancy.

Our family is taking a big step starting Sunday.  Several of us will be starting the 30-day regimen of 4 Yeast Assassin and 4 Acidophilus Blast.  We're modifying the regimen slightly for our 12-year-old who will take 4 Yeast Assassin Lite and 2 Acidophilus Blast daily.  We're all planning to either reduce or eliminate entirely our sugar consumption.  We've had a lot of ice cream this summer!  I hope we can make this change without too much pain!

We'd love to hear from anyone else who is working to curb yeast overgrowth.  And if you have some good recipes for desserts that don't include sugar, please let us hear from you!

Red Raspberry Leaves

Red Raspberry Leaves are back in stock!

For centuries, midwives have recommended red raspberry leaf tea to strengthen pelvic and uterine muscles. It's their secret for making labor and delivery more efficient and less stressful.

Now, Beeyoutiful's Red Raspberry Leaves offers all the same benefits in convenient capsules to help you feel better throughout pregnancy. And it's the only capsule form of red raspberry leaf we know of that's formulated entirely from organic components.

Red raspberry leaf is known to tone the uterus, provide an easy-to-assimilate form of calcium, improve the productivity of labor contractions, decrease anxiety and nervousness, enhance sleep, and reduce constipation.

The effectiveness of the red raspberry leaf is not limited to women who are pregnant or delivering babies. It is also great for young girls who need calcium and hormone support as their bodies change rapidly, or women who have hormone imbalances, especially during menopause and after. And at any stage, it can be used for improving the tone of the reproductive system, to support normal hormone levels or just as a good source for bio-available calcium.  The natural calcium content makes Red Raspberry Leaves a valuable supplement for all women who want to combat osteoporosis.

There is no known overuse of Red Raspberry Leaves, and a healthful program includes taking at least four capsules every day. If difficulty sleeping is one of your problems, using more capsules later in the day may help.

Important: While most obstetric health professionals agree red raspberry leaf is beneficial in all stages of pregnancy -- some even believe it reduces the likelihood of miscarriage -- it is best to consult your own midwife, herbalist, physician, or other health professional before using Red Raspberry Leaves if you're pregnant or nursing.

Liquid Chlorophyll

 

Because molecules of chlorophyll from plants have a similar structure and function to hemoglobin in human blood, taking chlorophyll can help relieve anemia caused by a low red blood cell count. Chlorophyll stimulates the production of red blood cells and helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the body and the brain, which means more energy for you. It is sometimes recommended that women take chlorophyll during menstruation and after childbirth to lessen a heavy flow and the accompanying exhaustion.

 

Chlorophyll has great cleansing properties as well. It is called an "internal deodorizer"—not the most catchy of titles. But regular use of chlorophyll can improve bad breath, as well as lessen the odors of urine and feces, and odors accompanying perspiration.

Why take SuperMom?

Why take SuperMom when there are so many other good multivitamins out there? 

Read what women are saying about SuperMom.  I visited Beeyoutiful today and found 119 5-star reviews of SuperMom!  Here are just a few of the many glowing reviews...
  

Prediabetes  I have prediabetes and gluten intolerance. I am not a mom, but I was babysitting one day and happened to see these while I was getting lunch for the kids. After reading the ingredients I was super excited to see that they had everything in the diabetic multivitamin I was currently taking and in vegetarian formula. Talked to the mom about them and she had me take one to see how I felt. Within an hour I felt amazing!!! My stomach didn't hurt, I didn't feel foggy and my energy was perked right up without that "buzzy" feeling that comes from caffeine and other things!

6 children  I love these vitamins! They give me so much energy! I need it to keep up with my 6 children!

Pregnancy This was a life saver during my 1st trimester of pregnancy. If I forgot to take it for some reason, my energy was gone by 10am. If I remembered, I was fine and could function almost normally. I usually only take one and it still gives me an energy boost. I guess you could run a marathon if you took both!

Energy This is the product I needed. I have been so tired after having my 5th sweet baby. I really needed some help in the energy department and Supermom has helped my so much and made me feel like I can get through the whole day, with some energy left at the end of the day.

As good as expensive vitamins...  I was taking a very expensive multivitamin that was also very good. I hated the price, but was reluctant to switch, they were that good. It came to the point that, financially, I had to try something else. I'm so glad that something was Super Mom. It is every bit as good as the expensive brand, and just as pure. Thank you for Super Mom!

Homeschooling  I have 5 children and it is not easy to find the energy everyday to be attentive and homeschool them. Since taking these vitamins I have not felt the 2:00 droop come on. While rocking a little one for nap time in the afternoon, I am usually not able to stay awake. I have been taking these for 3 months and can count on one hand the afternoon naps I've needed and they have been due to lack of sleep the night before.

Cranky Mom  You know how you start to think, "Maybe this product isn't really doing anything after all..." so you stop taking it or you run out of it as I did in this case and just choose not to buy more right away to test it? Well... I was a very cranky mom when my Super Mom vitamins ran out, so I went back to them and was a happier person with more energy again!

Feeling run down  I used to feel run down all the time and no matter how much sleep I got, it never seemed to be enough. I told one of my friends how I felt and that I just didn't know what to do about it and she recommended these vitamins to me. I am SO SO thankful she shared her "secret" with me! I have been taking these vitamins for over 2 years now and I love the way it makes me feel! It gives me energy without feeling like I've had an energy drink. I take one with breakfast and one with lunch and experience no highs or lows in the way I feel. When I forget to take them, I feel really tired like I used to feel. I can tell a huge difference. Love this stuff! I recommend it to everyone!

Hormone Balance  SuperMom vitamins with Spirulina are a staple to my good health. They help balance my feminine hormones, keep my skin healthy and free of eczema, and boost my overall energy. Whenever I have run out of Supermoms, all of the old problems come back, so I have proof positive that they work! Even on our small salary, we make a place for these vitamins - it is far more efficient use of funds than becoming sick.

Runners  We have used this product for two years. I can tell right away when I've forgotten my Super Moms for the day. I also give these to my daughters who are runners- it helps them stay healthier. When other girls are "dying" at the finish line or during practice, I think the vitamins help give more endurance because their bodies have the nutrients it needs.

For grandmothers, too!  This grandma (in my 50's) has found that "SuperMom" helps keep her energy level up enabling me to be more active and involved with my grandchildren. It is not just for the young moms!

Hair and Nails  have been using these for approximately 9 months and I can tell a difference in my energy level and overall well-being. A side bonus is that my nails, hair - even my eyelashes - have grown longer!

Breastfeeding  The SuperMom vitamins are the best vitamins I've ever taken!! I don't know if I've ever felt this good before!! I am breastfeeding a 7 month old who does not sleep well at night and once I started taking these vitamins my milk supply increased and I have much more energy and can get thru the day without a nap!!

Hypothyroidism  Super Mom saved me from taking thyroid medicine for the rest of my life. After the birth of my first child I just could not get back to "normal" with my energy level. The doctor said I had Hypothyroidism.  A friend recomended this vitamin. I took Supermom twice a day for a month and felt much better. The doctor tested my thyroid again and it was normal!!! The doctor wanted to know what I had done because she had never seen such a dramatic change that fast on any medication. It has been 3 months and my thyroid is back to normal and I feel like myself again.

Saved from smoking?  My 14 year old daughter recently started attending our local public high school with over 3,000 kids.  The stress of the major changes in her schedule, peer interactions, new environment, etc. was really wearing her down (and me, too).  I got SuperMom vitamins for me because I was feeling tired (I've got 3 other kids ages 8, 6, and 2) and now I feel great.  But the real story is that my teen, through her haze of stress and fatigue, asked me one day in the car how I would feel if she started smoking!!!!! She asked this type of question two more times before I realized she was trying to find a way to deal with constantly feeling stressed and worn out. I asked her to "try" the vitamins for a week and see if that made her cigarette thoughts go away. She agreed and has thanked me so many times that I had to share the story with you.  Her friends ask her how she can be so awake during her first class and she bounces much more than she drags these days! She said one guy friend asked her "what are you on and can I have some?" I've since decided to buy SuperDad for my DH and I'm sure my daughter will be sharing news of this "guy" vitamin with her tired High School friends...who knows how many it will save from that first desperate puff? Thank you for a quality product and for being a true blessing in my child's life.

Pleasant Pregnancy

Here's the conclusion to "Practices for a Pleasant Pregnancy," by Mary Ewing.  Click  here and here to read the earlier posts.

"During this pregnancy, I've tried to stay as limber as possible.  In the past, I've tried to stay active, but by 30 weeks, I usually take to the couch.  Backaches are my biggest enemy, along with swelling of the legs and feet, and being generally uncomfortable.  I have found several things to help combat this.

“1. Regular/weekly chiropractor appointments. Find a reputable chiropractor who will work with your midwife or health practitioner to privde the care you need while pregnant...

“2. Bradley-recommended exercises. I had hoped to take a class in the Bradley method this pregnancy-yes, even though it’s my fourth time around! Unfortunately it didn’t fit into our schedules. Yet, I checked several resources out of our local library that offer a few chapters about moderate, appropriate exercise-mainly stretching and positioning...

“3. Drinking plenty of water. Water retention is usually a sign of dehydration. I’ve known this through all my pregnancies but have not followed it as closely as I should. Usually by 30 weeks, I look more like a sausage than a person. But thankfully, between the chiropractor helping blood flow through the pelvis with a loose and straight spinal column, the stretching and increased water consumption, I have not had to battle thick extremities. This is not only beneficial to me but also to the baby. It helps insure good blood flow to the little one.

“4. Get enough sleep. Sometimes easier said than done-but important. Since I am a night owl, I began enforcing an earlier night time for myself and thankfully began sleeping longer stretches. Also, turn off all electronics in your room.

“Even though I haven’t attained that 'perfect'pregnancy yet, I’m excited about the progress on my journey of making this process healthier for myself and my future child. Sitting here tonight, I feel the kicks and jabs of my little one as she stretches and grows, and I’m extremely thankful for the insights I’ve gained over the last few years. I hope it won’t take you as long as it did me to discover the joy of feeling good while pregnant!”

After this article was published, Mary’s fourth baby arrived safely, weighing 7 lbs. and 8 ounces. Mother and baby were both well, which Mary attributed to the nutrient dense diet she enjoyed during her pregnancy.

Supplements for Pregnancy

Yesterday, I shared the beginning of a very helpful article by Mary Ewing. Click here if you missed it.

Read what Mary has to say about "Traditional Diet with Supplementation" during pregnancy…

 "In my “Pre-Pregnancy” article (Beeyoutiful Fall 2010 Catalog), I recommended the Weston Price Foundation approach to a healthy diet: raw milk, farm fresh eggs, good fats (butter, animal fats, coconut oil, olive oil, cod liver oil), bone broths, lacto-fermented vegetables, and grass-fed meats and vegetables (see Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon on page 12). This has become the mainstay of eating for my family and me. I’ve also limited my intake of white flour, white sugar, empty calories, preservatives, and chemicals. Eating 2 tablespoons of coconut oil each day has helped to decrease my cravings for carbohydrates and starches and to maintain my pregnancy-appropriate weight gain. My protein intake is 80-100g per day, equally spaced throughout the day, and making sure to have a healthy portion in the morning. Protein is crucial to the development of your baby during pregnancy. Most people consume only about 35g per day. That level can sustain you and your baby, but it increases your risk for developing toxemia or preeclampsia.

"Early on, it was sometimes a struggle to eat these things when I felt yucky-Sprite and a chocolate chip muffin sounded much better. But if I chose to eat a bowl of bone broth, I would often start to feel normal again soon. Thankfully, as I entered my second trimester, I felt much better and was able to eat the suggested diet without problems.

"Even the best diet often lacks key nutrients crucial for ourselves and our developing babies. Therefore, supplementation is essential, and I cannot tell you what a difference this pregnancy has been. My husband is grateful for Beeyoutiful because supplements have meant a lot less complaining on my part!

"Supplements for daily usage:
Click on the highlighted product names for more information about each one.

"SuperMom-an excellent prenatal multivitamin. I’ve had some problems early on with tablets, but using the capsules four times a day instead helps ease my indigestion or discomfort. On days I was having a particularly hard time stomaching things, I found that taking SuperKids was a great way to get my vitamins without the discomfort. These supplements provide important building blocks to help keep you healthy and nurture a strong baby.

 "Tummy Tuneup or Ultimate Defense probitoics. I’ve taken Ultimate Defense because of nausea and to insure the best gut health possible, eliminate nausea, and pass on a healthy gut to my newest addition. A recent study links a decrease in childhood allergies to use of probiotics during pregnancy.

"Digestive Enzymes. There’s a theory about morning sickness that links it to the live and a back-up of toxins. Digestive Enzymes can help the body break down these toxins and ease morning sickness. It also helps the body use the nutrients in food, decrease bloating, and indigestion.

 "Folic Acid. Although Folic Acid is most critical during the first few weeks of conception and growth, it’s important to continue supplementation throughout pregnancy. Check with your midwife or health practitioner for the specific amount to take, because this varies between individuals. Typically 400-800 mcg per day is recommended. SuperMom contains 400 mcg, so you will likely need to take extra. Also, on the days you just can’t stomach much else, Folic Acid’s small tablet is a great source of folic acid without having to take a bunch of pills.

"Magnesium. Wow! I can’t say enough about this one. The migraines and constipation I feared were the norm for all pregnancies…are not. I had heard many years ago that magnesium was crucial for migraine sufferers, so when my migraines peaked again in the middle of pregnancy, I took a healthy dose of magnesium every day. Within several weeks, I no longer suffered the constipation my OB had told me was completely normal and expected in pregnancy. My husband was thrilled, too, because it meant I no longer read a full novel every three days, camped out in the bathroom. I also slept much better than I ever had. In addition, magnesium helps prevent preeclampsia and pre-term labor. I take Beeyoutiful’s Magnesium and split my dose with two capsules in the morning and two before bedtime. I take it with raw milk because calcium is great coupled with magnesium.

"Cod Liver Oil. Another “Wow!” moment when I started taking this. Although it had been on my shelf for years, I just didn’t want to take another thing. But the energy, clarity of mind, and overall vitality I experienced was incredible. To be sure that Cod Liver Oil was making the difference, I took myself off of it for a few days. Within a week, I was sluggish and feeling drained again, so I haven’t missed it since. It not only nourishes your brain but provides your body with crucial Vitamin D3 which helps keep your immune system in high gear. In my first three pregnancies, I struggled with colds and viruses several times during each one. (Nothing more miserable!) But with this pregnancy, I was 35 weeks along before catching even a slight cold, and it ran its course in just 48 hours!

 "Red Raspberry Leaves and Evening Primrose Oil. These two are excellent hormonal supports during pregnancy, and they prepare the uterus and body for labor. I did take these in my third pregnancy, and although I can’t confirm their overall impact, my labor was only four hours long-tolerable until the last two hours or so! I have read many different suggestions regarding when to start taking them. I suggest personal research and asking your midwife or health practitioner what is best for you. Each woman’s body is different, and the needs should be specifically addressed.

"Supplements to keep on hand:

"Activated Charcoal. This has been a lifesaver during this pregnancy, for two reasons: (1) A horrible stomach flu went through our family while on vacation. I immediately grabbed the charcoal and began regular doses. Although I typically catch any and all stomach viruses, it totally skipped me! (2) It greatly relieved morning sickness and indigestion. When I felt bad or had that acidy feeling in the pit of my stomach, I drank a slurry of Activated Charcoal powder. While I don’t mind the slurry’s taste and texture, others may prefer tablets or capsules. (NOTE: With regular use of charcoal for morning sickness, be sure to take either a mineral supplement or to mineralize your water because charcoal can decrease the mineral population in your intestines.)

"Pregnancy Tea. Oh, what a comfort you are! When I am not feeling well, have a lack of energy, feel extra emotional, cold, or just want to enjoy a cup of warm tea that’s good for me, I relish Pregnancy Tea. Its slightly spearmint flavor is quite a comfort when mixed with a little honey and sipped in my favorite rocking chair.

 "Ow!-Ease. For those back aches or round ligament pains, Ow!-Ease is my favorite pain reducer. If occasional back or neck-aches creep up, Ow!-Ease delivers instant relief."

Practices for a Pleasant Pregnancy

When you learn the good news that a baby is on the way, you want to do all you can to take care of your health and the health of the baby.

First, yes, you can absolutely continue taking your SuperMom tablets.  SuperMom is a great pre-natal vitamin.  If you're not already taking 2 a day, you should be sure to take 2 every day.  You can take them together after breakfast or lunch, or you can take one in the morning and one later in the day--whatever seems to be best for you.

Here is an excerpt from an article entitled "Practices for a Pleasant Pregnancy."  The author is Mary Ewing, a part-time employee of Beeyoutiful.

 

"After three pregnancies, each featuring a number of 'pregnancy symptoms' and baby complications following the birth, I had resigned myself to the idea that all my pregnancies would be difficult, and my health would never be great while pregnant. Still, I envied women who actually enjoyed pregnancy. Many feel wonderful and love every minute of it. But I had never experienced such a thing!  Throwing up was a way of life form me with most of my pregnancies-sometimes the entire nine months. I was constipated, had blood sugar problems, anemia, back aches, swelling…you name it!

 

"Since I was convinced a lot of my problems centered on nutrition, I decided to change my diet and be faithful with supplementation to see if my next pregnancy would be any better.  The first few weeks of my fourth (and current) pregnancy were still hard-tiredness, vomiting, migraines, and dizziness-but I stuck with my plan to stay on a healthier diet, get moderate exercise, and use supplements. Slowly I noticed a difference and by week 15, I was actually starting to feel good. By 20 weeks, I consistently felt wonderful. For the first time ever, I was pregnant and felt fine at the same time. 

 

"Despite my success, I was quaking in my boots as I went for gestational diabetes and anemia checks around 30 weeks. I just knew some of my problem was 'genetically me.' I’ve always battled hypoglycemia and anemia, so when my midwife took blood samples, we waited nervously as her machine ticked down the seconds. I almost fell off her couch when the results came back not only normal but textbook normal. As the weeks have passed, I continue to feel fine, sleep well, and have fairly decent energy levels. 

 

"So what did I do this time? Three things:

1. Traditional Diet with Supplementation

2. Moderate Exercise

3. Good rest."

Vitex with Dong Quai

Vitex is known for its ability to nourish and support the female endocrine system as it regulates estrogen and progesterone levels.

PMS and menstrual problems are all eased by this wonderful herb. Because Vitex helps regulate cycles, you can more accurately calculate the start of your next period. Enhanced with Dong Quai, a Chinese herb known for relieving menopausal symptoms, Beeyoutiful's Vitex addresses these mid-life problems.

Vitex is a vital aid to help re-balance your hormones so you can feel "normal" again. Be sure to give your body a minimum of three cycles and up to a year to soak in and respond to the hormone stabilizing work of Vitex. Because it is safe for long-term use, many women take Vitex for several years in a row if necessary. Caution: Not for women who are pregnant or nursing.
