 Chaldean expectant mothers know that a healthy diet is the best way to get the vitamins and minerals you need. Chaldean food is one of the healthiest of cultural cookery, but even if you eat healthfully every day, some Chaldean moms may fall short on key nutrients. If you're pregnant or hoping to conceive, prenatal vitamins can help fill any gaps.
In today’s article I cover why you need them, when to start taking them or how they help. I hope Chaldean moms-to-be find the information useful and helpful. If you have suggestions for future articles on healthy living e-mail me at info@chaldean.org care of Brenda Hermiz.
Chaldean mothers are going to want to know how prenatal vitamins are different from other vitamins.
Most prenatal vitamins contain more folic acid, calcium and iron than do standard adult multivitamins. It's still important to eat nutritious foods, but prenatal vitamins can help ensure you're getting enough of these essential nutrients during pregnancy.
Wonder why it matters?
- Folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects — serious abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord. Folic acid may also decrease the risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight.
- Calcium promotes strong bones and teeth for both mother and baby. Calcium also helps your circulatory, muscular and nervous systems run normally.
- Iron supports the development of blood and muscle cells for both mother and baby. Iron helps prevent anemia, a condition in which blood lacks adequate healthy red blood cells. Iron may also decrease the risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight.
Prenatal vitamins have been claimed to promote thicker hair and stronger nails, but researchers haven't yet proved whether prenatal vitamins truly have these effects.
Keep in mind that standard prenatal vitamins don't include omega-3 fatty acids, which help promote a baby's brain development. If you're unable to eat fish or other foods high in omega-3 fatty acids or choose not to, your health care provider may recommend omega-3 fatty acid supplements in addition to prenatal vitamins.

A look at Obamacare by the numbers
(Kevin Price) - Critics of the President's health care agenda are always looking for the "right words" to convince others about the danger that will come with Obama's radical agenda. Maybe the most effective rebuttal is not in words, but in numbers. It is through reviewing the impact, in numbers, that Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is tackling this sweeping and far reaching legislation...
Though bankrupt, ACORN is succeeding in its subversive mission
(Michael Gaynor) - Obama is about to deliver as much "health care reform" as possible, fulfilling his commitment to ACORN.

It's a small price for ACORN to pay to have America abandon its traditional values and adopt ACORN's socialist way...

(Sher Zieve) - Obama has now joined the likes of all other despots who have ever walked and practiced their tyrannies upon planet Earth.

Talk of impeachment
(Alan Caruba) - "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis (1898--1963)...
Life must not die Sunday due to futurecide Obamacare vote
(Kevin Fobbs) - How unique is it that only in Washington D.C. that God's Day of rest is being used to put Life to death by the millions with a vote on Obamacare. There are words that can be used like "what's wrong with these people?" Yet for the 50 million babies who had their life extinguished by Roe V. Wade is was genocide. For the possible 50-plus million more who may fall victim to the Obamacare vote, the vote can only be defined as planned Futurecide...
ObamaCare: an urgent message to our Catholic readers

Abortion-tainted health care bill: The die is cast?; 'Heroic Media' campaign; 'Biking for Babies'
(Matt C. Abbott) - Well, ladies and gentlemen, we'll soon know if we'll have publicly-funded abortions here in the U.S. I wish I was an optimist, but, alas, I'm not. If there's any consolation in all of this, it's that there has indeed been a concerted effort on the part of many in the pro-life arena to fight the Obama regime's insidious promotion of abortion...
Please don't take my health care away
(Madeline Crabb) - This weekend, 435 politicians will decide the future of our health insurance system.

The nothing-thumpers
