Ok, so I guess I'm a lousy salesman because I can't get into lots of glorious phrases here for how nice it is to have my old QUICK computer back. When I first got my XP computer it was so fast that I told my best friend, "This thing is so powerful I don't know why I'd ever have to upgrade to a more powerful computer."
Then the time factor kicked in. The more time I spent actually using my computer the slower - true, it was little by little but still... - the slower it got.
Took forever to start up. Programs took two or three times longer to load up. Jobs took me longer and longer to complete.
I Wanted My Fast Computer Back and I Got It!
It was really a drag. A drag on my time and a drag on my fun using the computer.
Anyway, for $9.97 - yeah, only Ten Bucks - this guy gives me over twenty pages of instructions on how to clean up the Microsoft Mess that became my computer. Easy stuff. I'm no computer geek but even I could follow his instructions. Some of the stuff I knew but had forgotten. Other stuff was just plain news to me. Even free software I could use to clean up my computer. Oh, and he's not selling addtional stuff there. It's just information.
Anyhow, if your computer sometimes bugs you because it's getting slower or you just want to do some preventive maintenance to keep it fast, I'd say check out this guys help now.(It's not a buy button, it's just information.)
For an easier, less stressful pregnancy, it is always best to start eating healthier before you become pregnant. That way, you don’t have to make so many changes to your diet, which may only add stress (even positive changes can be stressful at first).
There are plenty of expecting mothers out there that will have a hard time eating a balanced diet during their first trimester. This is often due to a frequent feeling of nausea. So, if you are having trouble eating balanced during your first trimester, you aren’t alone. Some who are not able to keep food down may actually lose weight during this time.
It is important to eat enough and drink enough water during your first trimester because you don’t want to starve the growing baby of precious nutrients, or become dehydrated.
Calories are important, and since you’ll be eating for two, you need to eat around 300 extra calories every day. Since our bodies have a built in indicator that alerts us when we should eat (called hunger), you can listen to your body throughout the day and eat when you are hungry. Always be generous with vegetables and eat them throughout the day.
Calcium is a mineral that many agree is especially important during pregnancy. During the second trimester it is important to get around 1,500 milligrams of calcium every day for both you and your baby. Ideal, easy to digest and absorb sources of calcium include; sesame seeds, almonds, chia seeds, flax, and dark leafy greens such as kale and spinach. There are also many calcium supplements available if you are worried about not getting enough in your diet.
Fiber is essential for digestive health, especially your colon. You need it to help maintain regular bowel movements. If you get constipated, it is usually due to not enough fiber or not enough water, or both. Make sure to eat plenty of fiber rich vegetables and fruits. This way of getting fiber makes a whole lot more sense than taking a fiber supplement.
A diet low in protein isn’t often a problem found in those eating a balanced diet. It may be a problem if you aren’t making an effort to include protein sources into your diet. Protein is abundant in nuts, seeds and legumes.
Many women start their pregnancy deficient in iron. This is also an essential mineral for health. You can get iron from dark leafy greens, parsley, various seaweeds, sun-dried tomatoes, potatoes, sesame seeds, and various other nuts and seeds. Iron supplements shouldn’t be taken due to symptoms including cramping, constipation, and diarrhea.
Vitamin supplements may be needed if you aren’t eating a balanced diet, but it is always best to get vitamins from whole foods rather than supplements. You may want to get the advice of a doctor if you are worried about not getting all the vitamins and minerals you and your baby needs.
