I am losing my appetite again. I am wondering why it is like this. When my period is coming my appetite is really good and I can eat even more. But when my period is already finished oh my goodness I can’t really eat and when I force myself I will just vomit. This is maybe the reason why I never get fat and when I gain weight a little, it won’t stay long.
What I always do? I make myself so hungry and I won’t tell hubby that I didn’t eat much because he will make a sermon again haha..Very noisy. When I am so hungry already to the point that I am already weak and my tummy is grumbling that’s the time I will fight in eating. It doesn’t help you know why? Because when you so felt so hungry and then you suddenly eat that will cause you abdominal pain which is too bad. My Mom told me to eat little by little from time to time. In that way, you never skip meals and never make your tummy empty. The advice really helps and that is what I am doing. Eat a little from time to time. Mothers are good advisers.

There is no doubt why my kids almost got the asthma if ever I didn’t find a solution to prevent it because my husband does have it now. They have asthmatic family background also. His asthma anyway is rarely to attacked. I made him take the products I am using for our kids but he is very inconsistent to do it, a lazy one! You know most boys don’t care. Well, his problem only occurs when he will be exposed to too much dusty and hot weather. He always carries with him his nebulizer.
One thing I am concerned about is his allergy. He always or never lost colds and got the habit of sneezing so bad. Too loud sneeze even in public can’t be prevented. When he blows his nose it has a grinding sound that makes me felt like there is something so big will come out. But hey! Nothing really. Maybe because of the itchiness’ of his nose. I don’t feel like comforting when I heard him like that every day. Disturbing and noisy. Sometimes I got worried but it is in him already. Whatever medicine he takes it is really like that. Despite of having those problems he is healthy and strong man.

Studies show that a child’s diet can influence how well he or she does in school, because good nutrition helps improve attentiveness, increase energy levels and augments the brain processes that affect learning. If a child’s diet in not balanced and has too much junk food and sugar, he or she will miss out on the micronutrients (vitamin A and iron) that affect brain development and learning.
Children tend to eat what they like, and parents prefer to prepare what’s easy to cook. And many kids simply dislike eating vegetables, usually because of the taste. It seems normal, but beware, feeding children only what they want often results in their having diets that lack healthy food, particularly vegetables, which are among the rich sources of micronutrients. Children with these kinds of diets perform poorly in school because they suffer from inattentiveness, the inability to concentrate, learning problems and weak immune systems. If a child is like this, he or she isn’t necessarily lazy or dumb; these are signs of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and vitamin A deficiency VAD. The sixth National Nutrition Surveys (NNS) study shows that the average child aged 6 months to 5 years consumes only half the recommended daily amount.
The Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) encourages the consumption of more vegetables, fruits and root crops to help correct the micronutrient deficiencies consistently noted in the National Nutrition Surveys.” One cup or 90 grams of vegetables like ampalaya, okra and squash can go long way towards ensuring better health and, as a consequences of the improved micronutrient intake, better school performance for children aged 6-12; half a serving or 45 grams is all children below 6 needs to reap the same benefits.
Make sure your child eats this small amount of vegetables everyday
