5 Tips for Avoiding Sugar and Eating Right Through the Holidays

1. Use sugar alternatives where possible. Try out new recipes using one of the natural sugar substitutes above. Make desserts with these alternatives and take them to holiday gatherings, that way you will know you have at least one healthy dessert option. I often use sugar alternatives in baking and they taste just as wonderful as ones made with white sugar.

2. Use whole grains rather than white grains. This means limit white flour consumption. Choose whole grain flours as a substitute. Whole wheat, amaranth, buckwheat, quinoa or millet.

3. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Any holiday season can be stressful, but the winter holiday season may be the worst. Many people tend to use alcohol to deal with stress. This year try something different when stress begins to arise. Get out of the situation, go for a walk. Invite family or friends to go with you. Play a board game. Make a cup of hot herbal tea.

4. Choose fresh fruits or high-protein foods instead of sweets. Whenever you get a craving for sweets, baked goods or comfort foods choose a piece of fresh fruit, or a high-protein snack instead. Any piece of fresh fruit will do. As far as high-protein snacks, choose a handful of nuts instead of a piece of candy.

5. Drink 1 Fertility Smoothie or fresh juice a day! Before heading out to a party for the holidays, make sure you drink a Fertility Smoothie with fertility superfoods or make a fresh juice. Fertility Smoothies are filling, they curb cravings for sugary foods and they are packed full of nutrition! If you do slip up and eat some treats during the holidays, at least you will know that you have gotten a ton of nutrition, plus a digestion aid by drinking a smoothie or fresh juice.

Vitamins and supplements may be beneficial during pregnancy


A new study published in the British Medical Journal suggests there may be a link between a woman’s diet during pregnancy and childhood develomental disorders.

According to this new study conducted by researchers from Drexel University, multivitamin use during pregnancy may protect children with autism from intellectual problems.

“A potential link between supplement use during pregnancy and autism is intriguing because it suggests a possible avenue for risk reduction,” said Brian Lee, Ph.D., an associate professor and senior author of the study, which was published in BMJ (formerly The British Medical Journal).

Data for the study was drawn from children living in Stockholm County, Sweden, for at least four years between 2001 and 2011. Only children ranging in age from four to 15 at the end of 2011 were included.

To make results more robust, data from siblings was also taken into account to help offset some of the unseen factors in autism development, like heritability or otherwise healthy behaviors, researchers explained.

Little is known about how diet during pregnancy might affect the risk of a child developing autism, according to the study’s lead author, Elizabeth DeVilbiss, Ph.D., a recent graduate of the Dornsife School of Public Health at the university.

“There have been more studies in recent years about varied aspects of diet during pregnancy and autism risk involving multivitamins, iron, folic acid, vitamin D, and more, but the evidence is still inconclusive,” said DeVilbiss, now a postdoctoral fellow at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development. “More work needs to be done in this area to clarify these potential relationships.”

Hoping to clarify autism risk linked to diet during pregnancy, DeVilbiss, Lee and their team, which also included researchers from the University of Bristol and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, also looked for potential changes in autism risk related to taking supplemental folic acid and iron. Both are supplements that have commonly been recommended for pregnant women.

While the study suggests that vitamins and supplements may be benefial during pregnancy, the exact combination of supplements for optimal impact remains unknown. For example, multivitamins had no effect on occurence of autism.

“We cannot rule out potential contributions by iron and folic acid,” DeVilbiss said. “Diet during pregnancy is complicated, and there are important factors we can’t assess with our data, such as dietary intake, dose, and timing. This is clearly an area for future work.”

In that future work, the hope is that more specifics can be nailed down, the researchers said.

pressing on exodus 23:26

My dear, if you give up, what's next to do? A life without faith and trust in God is incomplete. I cannot say I've not thought like you at one point or the other but the truth is that after my ranting and loss of faith, I find myself seeking God again. No one else can put an end to ttc apart from God. His ways are not our ways and in sure that if God could open our eyes, we'd laugh at ourselves.
God is not a man that He will lie, His word says none shall be barren, therefore we aren't barren. Please hang on, your testimony is just around the corner
