![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So there you go, thyroid problems, sleeplessness, and stress contribute to postpartum weight gain. A study found that women who were sleeping less than five hours a night, six months postpartum were three times more likely to have kept their baby weight and maybe even gained more.Īnd lastly, being a new mom is stressful, and stress hormones can promote weight gain, and women are more likely to eat when they are stressed. What might be some of the issues? Some women develop low thyroid function during and after pregnancy, so if you're having problems with weight gain talk to your OB at your postpartum visit and maybe a thyroid test is indicated. Now women often find it difficult to lose weight after birth, even with breastfeeding, and many continue to gain weight. Postpartum Weight Gain: Thyroid, Stress, or Sleepless Nights To achieve these goals, women should make sure that they start or stay on an exercise routine during pregnancy, 30 to 50 minutes a day of walking at least five days a week. In fact, that's mostly water weight and placenta. Two, women who are already obese are recommended to gain limited amounts of weight in pregnancy, maybe only 10 pounds. Have an Exercise Routine Even During Pregnancy You're not eating for two you are eating for one and a little bitty. That is equivalent to three eight-ounce glasses of milk a day, no more. A woman needs no-get that-no extra calories in the first trimester and about 300 extra calories a day after that. We should avoid excess weight gain during pregnancy. So what are the problems and what should we be doing? Avoid Gaining Weight During Pregnancy Swiss women think babies need fresh air and they are out to make it happen on their feet. I just returned from a week in Zurich, Switzerland and what was very noticeable were young, slender, well-dressed women pushing baby carriages everywhere, not too many cars, and all on trams and sidewalks and in all kinds of weather, in singles and in groups. It just isn't fair, but we wouldn't want to go back 20,000 years to much leaner times. But our hunting and gathering these days amounts to a drive to the grocery store with a million high-calorie options to gather up and feed ourselves and our family. There are some biological reasons why the pregnant and postpartum body might want to hold onto their calories, but all of those evolved when we were hunter gatherers and starving and our children's lives depended on our breast milk. Jones: The relentless weight gain experienced by many American women during their adult lives is punctuated by pregnancies. Kirtly Parker Jones from the Department Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of Utah Health and this is the skinny on postpartum weight gain on The Scope.Īnnouncer: Covering all aspects of women's health, this is "The Seven Domains of Women's Health" with Dr. What's this about, and what can be done about it? This is Dr. You're sleepless, stressed, hopelessly in love with your baby, and gaining weight. But instead of losing, you just keep gaining, and you're not even pregnant anymore. Jones: You usually have some weight to lose after the birth of your baby. ![]()

The Coppertone Ultra Guard Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is inexpensive, widely available, and has a better feel on the skin than most other budget sunscreens. In our testing, it feels lightweight and less thick compared to other drugstore sunscreens. Ultra Guard is Wirecutter’s pick for the best overall sunscreen and has been highly rated by Consumer Reports for years (it received the top rating in 2020). While sunscreen isn’t recommended for infants under 6 months, pediatricians recommend mineral sunscreens for older babies and young children, and Thinkbaby is a top choice. Overall, despite being a mineral sunscreen, we could forget we were wearing the Thinksport – and that’s the ultimate goal of sunscreen.īonus: The baby version of Thinksport (called Thinkbaby) is also at the top of many lists. Thinksport Mineral SPF 50 is ranked #1 on the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database for reducing exposure to potentially toxic chemicals in personal care products. We also liked that it didn’t get more visible or chalky after sweating. We like that it left such a minimal white cast. Thinksport mineral sunscreen lotion does have a subtle fruity scent that some people find too strong for comfort, but our testers found the fragrance very slight.Īfter wearing Thinksport on many hikes, our testers appreciated that it applied so easily and absorbed quickly. Thinksport is easy to find at most major retailers (unlike fully reef-safe sunscreens) and is more affordable than comparable mineral sunscreen options. It's a good option for folks with oily or sensitive skin. Still, the Thinksport mineral sunscreen rubs in fairly easily (especially for a mineral sunscreen) and with minimal white residue, even on darker skin tones. Like all mineral sunscreens, we found the Thinksport Mineral SPF 50 tougher to rub in, leaving a bit of a whitish cast on the skin.

Hair Story’s New Wash (Deep”> cleans curls using essential oils and fatty alcohols, not detergents, while still removing dirt and grease. Whether you choose to use sulfates when you clarify is up to you, we have both options listed below! How often you need to clarify will depend largely on how dry your hair is and lifestyle factors such as how often you exercise or swim, how hot the climate is where you live, and whether you have hard water in your area. Using a clarifying treatment too often can be drying, so be sure to use yours sparingly. According to cosmetic chemist Erica Douglas, better known as Sister Scientist, “it ultimately does not matter whether the source of the alcohol is from a natural source or not, it is the sulfation process that makes the surfactant potentially harmful.” ![]() While sodium laureth/lauryl sulfate are known to be the harshest, most drying sulfates, sulfates that are derived from oils or natural sources aren’t necessarily going to be good for your hair. There are sulfate-free shampoos that use gentler, non-sulfate surfactant ingredients such as Cocamidopropyl betaine which, according to cosmetic chemist Tonya McKay, “can effectively remove most dirt, oils, and silicones from the surface of the hair.” What about natural sulfates? Clarifying shampoos & sulfatesĬlarifying shampoos can contain sulfates like sodium laureth/lauryl sulfate in order to remove the buildup of ingredients like silicones from the hair, but they don’t have to. The first step in many curly girls’ journeys to healthier hair is to distance themselves from their shampoo bottle, but occasionally using a clarifying shampoo that’s gentle enough for curly hair can do your hair and scalp a lot of good. In order for your curly hair products to work, your hair needs to be able to absorb them, and if your hair has a layer of built up product residue or silicones sitting on the surface then your curls simply won’t look or act their best. ![]() If your hair feels like it’s stopped responding to all of the moisturizers, stylers, and products that used to work so well, it might be time to use a clarifying shampoo. ![]() ![]() ![]() Postcard bleed area: this is the printing that goes beyond where the edges will be trimmed off.Postcard trimming area: this is where your cards will be cut and corresponds to your Postcard’s measurements.Make sure text and logos are inside the safe area to avoid the chop.

But it is exactly that thought and effort put in to a personalized note card that communicates how much sincere interest you have. Anyone can pound out an email in a matter of seconds, without much thought or effort. Someone who takes the time to sit down and write out a personal “thank you” or other message on a note card is communicating to their recipient that they genuinely care. Note cards fit nicely into a broader, personalized marketing and communications strategy. While emails are glanced at and quickly deleted, note cards communicate at a higher level and really engage your customers and recipients. Who doesn’t like getting a card in the mail? However, with the effort it takes, the reception and impact it has far surpasses anything achieved by digital channels. The evolution of email, instant messaging and social media make “snail mail” communications like letters and note cards seem outdated and inefficient. ![]() |
