Are You Eating Too Much?

Was there a time in your life where you thought your body is not pretty? Was there a time in your life where a carrot stick is all you should eat in order to feel pretty? I never experienced it as my self discipline is not that good. In fact, I should be exercising now but here I am sitting here and making my tummy grow bigger. I never really experienced eating disorder. How about you?

But first, what really is Eating Disorder?

Eating disorder is condition where in someone is obsessed with her food intake. This is a psychological malady as the obsession on food intake is a way of gaining control and coping. This is mostly common to women. This condition is very unique as it tackles the very reason why we survive physically, eating. The disorder is very complicated thus it requires Eating Disorder Treatments that specifically targets the different types of disorders.

Types of eating disorder

Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder where the person eats little amount of food or in some cases, nothing at all. Most who suffer this kind of disorder are very thin. These are the people who needs Anorexia treatment. They need it to regulate their food intake, but not only that, there are other factors that are considered when treating anorexia.

Bulimia Nervosa is another type of eating disorder. The treatment for this one is called Bulimia Treatments.The people who experience this kind of disorder usually binge out and purge themselves. Binge eating is feeling bad after eating a big amount of food. In order to purge themselves, they vomit and throw up what they have eaten. Purging can also be in the form of excessive exercise or use of laxatives. Most who experience this are in normal weight.

Compulsive Overeating is another type but this one is more critical than Bulimia Nervosa. Most people are obese and they consume an excessive amount of food in a short period. And most of those who suffer this have a history of depression.

Learning about the types of eating disorder, I can say that somewhat I experienced slight Bulimia. During my college life, when I eat more, I walk and walk until I don’t feel about what I did.

Sleep 101 & Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Routine

While the kids are sleeping, their body can produce up to 3x growth hormones, but is always dependent on how peaceful and the amount of time the baby is asleep.

When a baby entered deep sleep stage, the highest amount of growth hormones are released. So if your has a better and deeper sleep, the MORE growth hormones are released! And what you must know, growth hormones are at its best production stage during the early life. The best gift you can give to your baby is to maximize the release of growth hormones on her body and that is by providing her a better and deeper sleep.

So how much sleep does the kid needs?

Although every kid has different needs, below are some guidelines on how much sleep a kid need:

If your kid’s sleep stat is close to the above stats, rest assured as your baby is getting enough sleep, but if not, you certainly need to help your kids attain a good night sleep. So what can we do?

First let us define what is a GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. so I would like to share with you The ABC of Better Baby Sleep.

A regular bedtime routine
Be in bed before 9PM
Children should fall to sleep on their own.

It is very interesting to note how a bedtime routine can reduce the length of time needed to fall sleep. It can also reduced the times the baby awakes at night and even so the time needed to make the baby sleep again. The best part about it is baby’s sleep time increased and Mom’s anxiety and tension reduced to more than 50%!

And yes, the routine, the solution to our bedroom battle.. It is so easy and so fun to do.. for sure you will love this routine and will look forward to it everyday… and your kids will have the benefit of growing bigger and growing closer to your.

Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Routine has 3 steps.

Step 1 Warm Bath

Using JOHNSON´S^® Baby Bedtime Bath, set the mood by giving the baby a warm bath. I this routine will be established, it will indicate or it will be a sign that it is already their bedtime. A warm bath can relax their body and you too can enjoy this by being a bit playful to your kid. If you are not sure how warm the water should be, try testing the water using your elbow. If it is too hot for your elbow, then it is too hot for the kids.

Step 2 A soothing massage

JOHNSON´S^® Baby Bedtime Baby Lotion is your partner on this step. This is my favorite step because it gives us more bonding time. The kids love it when I massage them and I think it also gives them assurance that their mommy love them so much.

You can also use JOHNSON´S^® Baby Oil for this step.

Step 3 Quiet Time

So after massaging your baby, you can put JOHNSON´S^® Baby Powder before sharing a quiet moment. After that, you can read them stories or sing a soft music to them. Me and my kids love to cuddle and as they fall asleep.
