Crave Healthy – Expectant Moms’ Go-to Snack

I remember during my two pregnancies, I always wake up in the middle of the night because of hunger. I have a can of crackers under our bed and that’s what I eat for snacks. I kind of feel guilty because I know I am not getting anything from the crackers except empty calories. But it is the middle of the night and crackers are convenient.

I’ve said this many times in the recent years and I will say it again, Ang sarap magbuntis at these times. Maternity wear are now fashionable, baby gears are abundant and easily sourced, more people promote breastfeeding and the list goes on. Pero ok na kami sa two girls namin for now.

Ito ang sana meron na noon pa para di ako nag tiyaga sa crackers when hunger strikes at night. A healthy way to satisfy hunger and food cravings of pregnant women in now possible with CRAVE HEALTHY.

Loving Yourself Through Proper Health Care

Was your previous week a busy one? Mine was. And I am sure that it will continue to be the same this week and in the coming weeks, with additional work to come and more activities to do. I guess that is true to many of us, not just stay-at-home-moms, working moms, executives, rank and file people. We all get busy, just on different levels. One thing is common though, sometimes, we let our busyness consume us, that our personal well-being suffers. I know, we all want to give our family and love ones everything they need, even their wants, so we work hard. Too hard at times that we forget, we also need to provide for ourselves. We deprive ourselves of sleep, what more a basic fitness program or nutritious meals? The effects of what we do shows in our body, especially in our skin. To be honest, my skin looks dry and dull due to lack of sleep. Have you gained weight over time because of your eating habits? I know a lot who did.
