Have Fun Before the Baby Comes

You’re pregnant and you’re wondering if it’s alright to travel.  Now is definitely the time, actually, before that baby comes and creates chaos in all areas of your life. You should certainly consult with your obstetrician before booking the trip. 

As a general rule, it’s alright to travel until your 36^th week, assuming that you are having an uncomplicated, healthy pregnancy.

Assuming that your doctor has given you the go-ahead, keep these tips in mind.  As Cinergy Health advises, make sure to stay hydrated, especially if you are flying.  Move around every few hours, whether you’re driving in a car or flying somewhere.  Otherwise, blood can pool in your legs and that’s certainly not to your benefit.  Some doctors recommend compression travel socks as they force blood to your leg’s deep veins and reduce pooling of blood. 

Bon voyage and have fun!

Cinergy Health Offers Advice for Diabetics

If you have a sweet tooth and you are diabetic, you’re certainly up against a challenge.  However, with careful planning, you can still have some of the sweets you love and maintain a healthy lifestyle with your diabetes.  

While the American Diabetes Association used to show every concern with table sugar, they have now come to explain that it’s the total amount of carbohydrates in the foods that you eat that raises the blood glucose levels.

This means, as Cinergy Health explains, that you need to look at portion sizes and carbohydrate counting.  With the right planning and calculations, you can still have some of those sweets that you enjoy.  Certainly, however, you don’t want to go crazy and you may want to meet with a nutritionist to figure out exactly how to plan out the meals for each day.

Enjoy your favorite foods so that you don’t end up feeling deprived – but do so in moderation.  Consider, as well, using artificial sweeteners more often than sugars for those moments when you want a sugar fix.

Migraine Help is on the Way

30 million Americans deal with migraine headaches on a regular basis. 

1. Learn what triggers your migraines and try to avoid those items.  Triggers could include, but are not limited to, caffeine, red wine, chocolate, alcohol and more.

2. Get moving!  Exercise can help you to deal with your migraine headaches.  Use relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, take breaks from stressful situations and learn to relax more.

3. Respond fast.  When a migraine strikes, you may find the best cure to be a nap in a quiet, dark room.  Biofeedback and massage can also help.

Pancreatic Cancer & Obesity

Obesity, as everyone knows, if not healthy.  What many people don’t know about obesity, however, is that it can actually increase your chance of getting certain types of cancer – namely pancreatic cancer.   

Research has shown that those who are overweight as teens or as young adults are at least twice as likely to develop pancreatic cancer as are people who have never been obese.

Flying Sick

Flying sick is no laughing matter.  Unfortunately, many people today have to make the decision about whether or not to fly sick since they don’t want to miss their trip, and they can’t afford to throw away the non-refundable ticket. 


Certainly, if you don’t think you’ll be able to get anything out of the trip, or you’re unable to walk a block or more, you should probably stay home.  If you have a terrible anxiety condition caused by flying, you might want to consider cancelling.  She says that 1 in 5 people suffer from this anxiety, and that it should be taken into consideration when planning a flight.

 “You’re best protected if you consider possible problems ahead of time,” she says, adding that flight or trip cancellation insurance should be considered. Note that many policies have exceptions for pre-existing conditions, so only a “cancel for any reason” policy is likely to cover an anxiety disorder.

Know What Your Medical Plan Covers

There is a big danger today with your health insurance when you don’t know what the fine print is saying.  Often, people get saddled with large bills because they didn’t realize that their lab tests weren’t covered – or they didn’t realize that their doctor wasn’t on their plan.

Be careful to know what is on your plan and what isn’t so you don’t get stuck with unexpected bills.
