I will try to coach you into a healthy pregnancy ,and recommend some actions that will help your wellness.

How a pregnant woman should take it pounds? Eternal matter is far from settled. Especially as the weight gained during pregnancy appears to influence the weight of the child in his early years.

A pregnant woman who takes too many pounds during her pregnancy may have a child who will present overweight at the age of three years. In any case the conclusion of a study published in the April issue of American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. The whole question is to determine the maximum weight to be taken not to have a baby who is not obese but not too thin which is also dangerous for his health.

According to Dr. Emily Oken, of Harvard Medical School, even women who complied with the recommendations of their gynecologist and had not yet grown to exceed the weight permitted presented four times more likely to have a baby too big at the age of three years than those who gained less weight than normal. Is this a case to lower medical advice on weight gain during pregnancy? For now it is too early to decide but there will likely correction in the near future.

Weight gain in any case must depend on the BMI of the mother and they must know that obesity, at first, creating problems for the woman and child. The first may be forced to give birth by Caesarean section while the child more likely to also be obese himself. For Dr. Oken, women with a BMI below 20 may take between seven and twelve pounds, those with a BMI between eleven and sixteen, while those who are overweight (BMI> 29) should not exceed six pounds .

Pregnant women who eat lots of fatty fish are more likely to have small babies.

Is it safe to eat fish during pregnancy? Scandinavian researchers recently demoresearchers discovered that there was a link between the frequency at which the mother consumed fatty fish and the birthweight of their babies. They have thus shown that women who consume more than 60 grams of fatty fish per day, equivalent to about two servings per week were 24% more risk of having a baby of low weight to mothers who ate the equivalent of less than 5 grams of fish per day. nstrated that pregnant women who eat lots of fatty fish are more likely to have small babies. Guilty: the pollutants in fish flesh.

Dr. Ingi Halldorsson Thorhallur Copenhagen and colleagues followed the pregnancy of almost 45,000 Danish between 1996 and 2002. By following the eating habits of expectant mothers and the health of the baby, the

How to explain? Because of persistent organic pollutants that contaminate the flesh of fatty fish.Some of these substances are suspected to slow the development of the fetus. Should we ban the fish during pregnancy? "No, say the researchers. Because fatty fish are also an important source of omega-3 fatty acids essential for the proper development of baby. "

The solution? Monitor the source of his fish. "Levels of contamination vary from one region to another, say the authors. The ideal is to learn. " Hopefully your fish will be able to guide you ...

Response Gerard Marchand, Deputy Chief of Staff of the President of the Republic, dated May 6, 2008


For over eight years, I try to draw the attention of the Chief of the French and the various governments that have followed on the importance of conducting an operation to prevent public health in our country.

Noting that all my proposals (in the context of scientific research where even that of a professional activity) were counter the grip of powerful medico-pharmaceutical lobby in the field of health and no institution wanted to see develop a psychological approach to empowerment and empowerment of patients regarding their health, I have created, January 22, 1997, an association under the 1901 "Action for Health's" who were these goals. The forty grant applications submitted to many institutions that have achieved 40,000 F.

Understanding that the health field was reserved only for the medical profession, I create, June 6, 2000 a second association "Space Creating Wellness" repeating the same objectives but extended the scope of the culture and aid the poorest.

In 4 years, with the help of 70 volunteers, doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists, teachers and artists, these associations have done workshops in 1434 and recorded 5259 entries.

In 2001, our associations have lost their local and I could not afford to continue this action has become a job seeker. All requests for assistance to local, regional or national remained unanswered. Now established in Corsica and facing the same problem, with the qualification that I survive with a special solidarity allowance since last May, I wish to pursue this action and help to offer help to people in difficulties.

Wellness plans are often implemented in the business environments. This has become more like a trend in today’s capitalistic system. Many small or big corporate businesses are adopting this kind of packages from companies that actually create them. These kinds of wellness plans are suitable for personal usages or for collective ones, as we encountered them in many of the enterprises.

We claimed that this has become a trend nowadays because there are two sets of winner when implementing a business wellness program. The first one is the company itself, of course. A CEO will consider the introduction of a good wellness plan in his industry as long as he can rest assured of the financial and resourceful advantages that can be taken out of all this. This is a long term deal and the money invested in these kinds of projects can be amortized in many years.

The other side that can be proud of these implemented wellness plans are the employees who can sign up in the program and eventually participate in the various activities in which it consists.

Major industrial companies that have high responsibilities and a high stress factors, or the workers are dealing with chemical materials, dangerous components or all in all there is an assumed risk day to day…have to pay up more and more to the insurance companies in order to keep everything in order. For these kinds of enterprises, the wellness plan itself has to be real innovative and efficient so that each and every worker can benefit from its implementation.

This is why many companies invest in this kind of projects. Better wellness in the work place environment means better overall productivity and better performance management for the company. The costs go down when the risks are diminished, at least a part of them.

The employee’s wellness is a different subject but it can go only one way. Since these wellness programs tend, besides the need of cutting down the costs that occur with the numerous premiums and the insurance policies upgrades year by year, to create a feeling of well being and contempt in each and every worker, the system has to be more complex.

Some business environments try different approaches. The common ones are the construction of an inner employee’s exclusive swimming pool where they can relax or basically learn how to swim, after a long and stressful day at the job.

Others prefer a simple counseling sessions for the workers who have some inner problems. These have proven to work in the companies that have a lot of foreign interns that could not adapt to the environment as fast as the firm itself wanted. Regardless of the specific implemented business plan, these options are available today in so many personalized forms as well, helping a single individual change its life style into  a more better and healthy manner.

Wellness nowadays has become more like a trend. We have been talking about it initially in the business sector, where it represented a real innovation. These programs have managed to create a difference in the entrepreneurial segment, not just through a proper stress free and pleasant environment, but also through its trend setter attitude.



What one company has introduced in order to cut down some of the costs, and creating the perfect equilibrium between work and fun, many others have tried to adopt. Of course, what is suitable for one business environment does not always work in others.

Some of the industries that are concerned with the consumer’s goods have stated out in a recent report that some of the food that is prepared for their employees serves not only as a dietetic, health, mineral and protein intake, but also a desert for the brain…

They really manage to see the whole picture the troubles they are dealing with and appreciate the importance of regular healthy elements intake, at very precise calculated hours.  They have started out with a small fitness club just downstairs, near the parking lot, where all workers had to go in order to get their cars out and leave for the day. This particular idea was not bad, but in time, less and less employees paid the regular visit to the fitness club and so they had to come up with other ideas to implement as wellness features for their program.

They decided to make a cafeteria, but only with low fat, no meat by product foods, high fiber content and overall natural ingredients, all free, on the company’s expense. Of course these expenses had to come from somewhere, and the general manager took his time considering all of this because, in two years time he actually doubled his profits, while cutting down the numerous costs that come with the premiums and other basically useless features of the insurance policies.

The food was actually quite good, but in time the employees where fed up with the same tastes over and over again. So they passed on to the second phase. This meant hiring a professional cook, one of those media chefs VIP’s that everyone loves and respects, with a lot of TV show about gastronomy and proper food mixes that are both healthy and delicious.

This was it. The employees were more than contempt to come to work if they knew that they’ll eat the most incredible salads there are, with the proper add on, with the perfectly balanced condiments on, with the right tools, and the perfect temperatures, always ready for them when the lunch time arrived.This has managed to set an emerging wellness and health food trend strategy and it is needless to say that hundreds of small businesses had already adopted this program for its employees.

The holistic or natural approach and wellness is not so good when it comes to business cut costs and other structural monetary issues. But the subjects is being studied of course, in order to find its best possible implication, it best result and its best visibility and impact.

It is noticeable of course the thin line that separates the mind from the body, and the very own term definition when we want to open and understand our soul. The holistic side can be a good think if it can be managed to implement it in an impactful manners.

As we said previously, many enterprises are trying to implement a better wellness program, one that can cut down the insurance policies costs to a level that will make the whole business aspects more and more profitable and successfully. Not to mention that all of these costs are directly related to how an employee feels when doing his job, the level of his productivity, and so on…so when he feels bad, his attitude and physical state will be reflected through the works he made.

In other cases, if an employee, at some point or another has some problems when it comes to the health issue, and this is linked with the staff office work activity or any other kind of field…the company is obliged to pay up with the insurance policies in order to cover all the expenses.

While a company has a good and well implemented health program that functions properly and keeps all of the workers satisfied and contempt with their jobs, the risk of ever encountering a health related issue linked to stress, break downs or other…are relatively low.

Many business men are trying to find the best solution in order to implement the most benefic and impactful solutions there are, not just to keep down the costs but also to create that desired healthy atmosphere. While the natural approach and the holistic wellness can be accessed only through self focusing and that inner search. It is essential to know that all of this emotional side of things can really help the overall feeling of good and the inner wellness.
Relating this to work, an employee may perform better and increase the productivity during a certain time period. The only down side to it all is that many corporate and business environment do not know how to properly introduce this plan in their offices and how it can make it work in order to deliver the expected and the positive results.

In the mean time, wellness programs in corporations are starting to develop more and more, regardless of the employees number and other aspects that previously took an importance when calculating the impact rate and the real need to come up with such a plan. Regardless of their approach, wellness related programs are always welcomed in any kind of business environment.

Wellness induced plans, especially when it comes to health problems and related issues can be a drag if you do not have the proper knowledge in this area. The basically fact is that many of us see health issues and wellness more like a body experience, a physical one, eluding all the mental, spiritual details that are also relevant to the overall wellness.



Some of us tend to get carried away with the belief that wellness and health refers strictly to the physic and the body as a muscular mass. That is where the natural side of wellness kicks in.

Holistic wellness programs - Keeping your body fit, on the other way, can also contribute to the minds wellness as well. This is because once starting a physical activity, the effort made, oxygenates the blood, that flows and improving the circulation. This is why the oxygen in the blood stream circulates more rapidly and reaches in all corners of your body, including your brain.

Wellness plans today have reached an impressive two way development. One for the body itself, to keep everything fit and in order, thing that will help the overall immune system, and of course strengthening the muscular mass, and one that will help up the mind, doing more faster judgments, more sharper thinking and developing the emotional intelligence levels.

Holistic wellness is not something that the corporate and business environment exploits but it can really create a positive impact. The company’s approach on wellness related programs come from the necessity to cover up some of the costs that come up with the employee, especially when it comes to the insurance policies and the annual premiums.

A wellness program is usually linked with a healthier and rapidly visible impact that can occur. A thing that obviously gets things done and with a fast result rate! Those wellness programs are usually based on the more obvious need that the employees have, the thing that make them visible discontent, the rapid solution to cut down, along with the premium features of the insurance policy, the stress levels and the negative attitude that is usually present in a working environment.

Sometimes they start small, with some fruit basket after the lunch meal, a dietetic lunch in the newly updated cafeteria they have, a simple advisory team that can talk to any employee in particular, trying to solve some of their inner problems a worker has, both at the office or home. It is a specialized team in psychology of course, and they can help the troubled employees create a plan in order to cover all the necessary task and responsibilities, time management improvement, leadership skills improvement and many other professional and personal assets.

The notion of this alone defines a more natural approach on things, even if we refer to just the purely mind and body experience. It is linked to the consumption of the herbal essences and natural treatments for various problematic issues. These aspects can be done in more progressive methods and overall healthful ways. It implies that fact that all mind and body aspects are taken into consideration.

Wellness plans are a more and more growing business that is nowadays similar to a trend in the big corporate environments. This comes as a helper for both parties that interact. The company in its decision to invest time and financial resources in this type of issues is considering the overall costs that will eventually be cut from the yearly budget.

This is in most of the times an efficient and easy way to reduce or cut down on some regular costs that a company can encounter in its activity. The employees have medical insurances and premiums that are paid by the company. So in case a company is well recognized on the market through its though, barely workable conditions, high danger factors involved, high risks to be taken in to consideration, radioactivity, pollution, and so on, it is quite obvious that the insurance policies are particularized so that it fits their working conditions, in this case, we are talking about a lot of money paid year by year by companies just in case something, along the way, goes wrong.

The wellness measures and programs see a solution to all of this, and try to overcome with some clearly defined objectives, the possible troubles that may occur in the future period. A good wellness programs is measured of course, by its capacity to adapt a certain way, depending on the company’s status, work activity, environment and many others that contribute to the foundation of the future implemented plan.

While many consider a gymnasium allocated space for the workers in order to supply them with the necessary energy after a sedentary office desk job, or just a plain old dietetic lunch paid of course by the company in the new eco cafeteria where your baloney homemade sandwich is not welcomed as it used to be, when the other colleagues were always asking you for a slice …but not no, not any more. Wellness programs create an impact in every company whether we are thinking about five hundred employees or just five.

Major enterprises can of course invest more money into a health related program, and they need it much more intensely that a small business office with a small number of workers. For instance, a billion dollar business rate corporation will try in the vast majority of the cases to ensure a luxurious wellness and health plan such as a spa and massage parlor.

So when you have just finished a hard and stressful day, you can take a deep dive into relaxation with a massage performed in the fashion and rhythm that you desire. Or just stick around for the spa. This method really proved its worth and in two years time, the companies that implemented a spa and massage designed space, had less and less health related troubles, and the stress levels now controlled, the premium policies and insurances got down.

What to feed to my dog? Dogs are just like our families and of course we want the best things for them like we want the best thing for our children or our parents. In order to that you must learn about what is it good to feed your little one and what it isn’t.There are two types of manufactured dog food on the market: dry food which look like some small beans and wet food which came in canes.

Some of the owners choose the dry food because they can take in large amounts at once, it will last longer and also it came cheaper than the wet food. Of course the dog will always prefer the wet food and he will always lick his face afterwards but you must know that the dry food is more nutritious because the other one contains a bigger amount of water approximately 90 percent.

The manufacturing of this kind of food is easy enough. First of all it takes a big amount of mixtures of raw materials like meat and bones and then they put this mix in something like a big mixer where it forms something like a paste. After that is pressured with hot steam and add approximately 10 percent of water. When they are removed from the pressure they just pop up and the result is some tine kibbles that are putted to dry out.

After that they add the nutritional vitamins some fats and other ingredient that couldn’t be added before because of the heat. But you must see if the bags are properly closed when you buy the food because if it’s not properly closed or stored some of the vitamins and fat could evaporate.

You must always carefully read the dry food labels but also the wet food as ones because it could tell you if the product is nutritious or just a company that wants to make only money and not to serve better quality for the little dogs. So you must learn to read the labels.

For example if you see some different ingredients and the last in the ingredients is the meat that means that this type of food contains more than the other ingredients except the real meat and we all know that our dogs need meat in order to grow strong and healthy. Other examples for low quality are when you see a title with meat and bone meal or something like this. This means that amount of the meat in that food is very small approximately 2 or 5 percent and the rest even us specialist don’t know exactly.

Some manufactured dog food companies are trying to trick you by putting a very long list of ingredients but you must be smart about this. They don’t put this to show you how much good ingredients your dog will get if he will consume their product they put the long list because they’re obligated by the law and the longer the list is the bad quality it is. Always look for simple phrases like animal fat, fish oil or vegetable oil.

Of course, if you as a company manager invested in this wellness program, you have to do it good all the way. So forget about the unaesthetic looking vending machines on the hall ways that eat your coins so that you can eat a baloney sandwich.

Put some money out for improving the cafeteria downstairs, or if there is no cafeteria try to build one.  For this to be qualified as a wellness and health related plan it is mandatory for you to bring some professional cooks or some chefs that can cook dietetic food that is both tasty and healthful.

When it comes to this many of the company’s employees will be reluctant. This fact has happened before in large corporate environments and was rectified with some prizes or bonuses for the “food service loyalty”. It has happened again, where some of the working crew refused to join in with the other in the gym or eating healthy food, when they were putting a nice big homemade sandwich that really gave them the necessary taste and overall satisfaction to pass along the better cafeteria offer.

Compensations where often the answer and this is more like a psychological scam implemented by the higher bosses that wanted so badly to cut down those payments where it came to insurance policies and other related issues that revolved around the benefits of a healthy life style and a balanced alimentary diet that in the long term proved their true value.

So many of these bosses thought on the perfect way to envelop and introduce the program so well that whole the working staff will not be skeptical regarding signing up for whatever they have prepared for them. Dancing classes were also a method to keep up the moral in a stressful telephone company that registered a lot of trouble shoots where it came to issues like stressful working conditions and not such high compensations where it came to salary or bonuses.

Many people work hard and have no personal time to reflect about the thing they really want to accomplish in their life time or what were all those child hood dreams that kept them motivated back then  or for what have they studies so hard?!

Many of these inner interrogations can in many companies be answered through a brought on psychologist that gives advice regarding the life style of the employee or potential stress factor precise indication of this and other problematic phases that an employee can have.

Many companies have decided to implement this and this subsequently has become a business all together. The Wellness Corporate and Health program implementation can be something really beneficial for both parties if you think about it and this alone has the necessary power to overcome that nasty emotion every Monday morning that we have when we visualize the whole dark and long working week that is ahead on us, and virtually it can’t be avoided. Wellness can turn this things upside down, for an environment where we all come and leave almost happy.
