Ask the Nutritionist
Is it true you should feed a cold and starve a fever?
Denise Snyder, a clinical trials manager at Duke University, offers this advice:
Researchers have observed some immune response when patients suffering from a fever eat less. In any case, you likely won’t feel like chowing down anyway -- loss of appetite is your body’s natural defense mechanism to help the immune system focus energy on fighting pathogens. Of course, if you’re hungry, go ahead and eat! And fluids can only help fight a fever.
Feeding a cold is simply a matter of boosting your nutrient levels while the virus runs its course. A cold usually lasts longer than a fever, so you need to eat to help your body do its job. I recommend fruits and vegetable juices, which are chock-full of vitamins and nutrients, along with warm broths. Drinking plenty of fluids also helps keep mucus secretions thinner and alleviates common cold symptoms like coughing.

Always Mom
You were my fairy tale princess, So much larger than life. You were my angel and my witness Through all my pain and strife.
At times you made me angry, Great words I would proclaim How someday you'd be sorry. You were the one to blame.
But when I needed comforting You always found the time. Your words were more soothing Than days of childhood sublime.
Now the distance holds us apart, The boundaries have no end. I'll hold the memories in my heart.You're my mother, my best friend

Mommy and Toddler Groups
One of the ways in which moms continue the all important bonding with their toddlers, as well as having their child experience being with other toddlers, is through mommy and toddler groups.
There are a number of groups which you and your toddler can join. One of which is at a library or checking your local community to ascertain if they have any similar groups you can join. In fact, you may wish to start a group of your own.
You know, bonding with your toddler can also encompass a day at the park -- just the two of you. The nature/nurture experience can extend beyond you and your child, as you take in the greenery, trees and flowers.
For more information about mommys and toddler groups, check your local newspaper to see if there are any groups which you feel you would like to participate in. Mommy and toddler groups can be formed or joined or simply begin with a few neighbors with kids of similar age. |
