One of the most important things you can possibly do is be healthy. Not only does being healthy improve your physical health, it also can improve your overall way of life. Being healthy has many benefits such as being able to walk upstairs without losing your breath, having more energy throughout the day, having less restless nights, and just feeling plain good.
Wellness Awareness
Over the past couple weeks, a few classmates and I got together to put together the video above. We wanted to focus on the wide spectrum of being healthy. Due to my personal experience, I specifically focused my part on pregnancy health.
"Prego" Life
If you didn't already know, it is very important for someone who becomes pregnant to really take care of their health. They are not only caring for themselves anymore. It's important to start drinking at least half a gallon of water a day, if not a whole gallon. The little guy or gal inside survives by breathing in amniotic fluid. This is in part produced by the water that is consumed by the mother, though not entirely. Also, try to cut out all sodas, coffee, and even teas. These can dehydrate you.
In the video, I make a point to focus on prenatal vitamins. These come in all shapes and sizes and can sometimes be very difficult to take. I know when I started my prenatal vitamins when I was pregnant, it was incredibly difficult to take the huge pills without gagging myself. Most prenatal vitamins can be found over the counter at any grocery store, but if these don't work for you talk to your physician about getting a sample and prescription.
