My top 5 Neal's Yard Christmas Gifts

Top Christmas Gifts Recently I have been asked what are the best Christmas Gifts to get from Neal's Yard. I have my favourites, and so do my clients. So to help you (and give you a few budget pointers) here are my top 5. 1. Rose Spa Collection - £42 Lovely to have around the house, the balancing fragrance of patchouli and bergamot are long lasting (and not over powering). As with all of NYR's products they are not synthetic and are natural and organic. For other ideas, have a little look round the shop, keep an eye out for the offers, as often there is a special gift with any purchase. |

* taken from P110, Somer, Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy, Owl Books, 2 edition 2002 So make sure you eat fruit and vegetables every day, have dairy products (or fortified alternatives) plus eat eggs 3 times a week. ![]() Top foods to eat - Good sources of vitamins Calcium - Dairy products, baked beans, tinned sardines Copper - Dried apricots, meats, rice, wholemeal pasta and breakfast cereals Essential Fatty Acids - Oily fish (avoid cod and halibut during pregnancy) Folic Acid - Breakfast cereals, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, oranges, and yeast extract Iron - (best when eaten with vitamin C rich foods ) -Meat, canned fish like sardines and pilchards Magnesium - Whole grains, nuts, legumes, dark leafy vegetables Selenium - Bread, brazil nuts, fish and some grains Zinc - (great for sperm mobility, and for a healthy baby) Meat, nuts, shellfish, beans and milk Remember you need to take a pregnancy multi vitamin, ideally with the extra omega capsules, as this will help replenish any stores of nutrients your body needs, plus give your baby the best start. Your partner will also need to start taking either the male fertility multi vitamins, or a standard multi-vitamin to ensure his swimmers are at their best. Ideally you need to take the vitamins 3 months before conceiving. Your stress levels ![]() Your timings ![]() Do you know your most fertile time to conceive? You are only fertile for a few days a month, so you need to get it right. You can download free fertility apps that can help chart your cycle or you can buy ovulation kits all designed to maximise your chances of conceiving. So can it work? One of my clients Sally was 38 when she came to me, unfortunately she had miscarried 3 times and wanted help. We worked through her diet, and found she had fallen into the trap that most of us had, eating the same thing day in day out. Sally was more on the extreme side, as ate the same breakfast and lunch every day, and it wasn't the most nutritious diet. The main problem with eating the same thing is your body gets used the nutrients and calories you eat, and in Sally's case it wasn't enough to sustain a healthy pregnancy. 'I had never eaten an avocado or mango before, but Pippa helped me introduce these into my diet, and her tips and tricks for breakfast made it easy to make the changes'. ![]() So try the 4 stages, good luck, let me know how you get on |
