Spinach Salad

Health benefits of spinach: loaded with calcium, folic acid, iron and vitamin C, A, K and fiber. Also spinach is loaded with flavonoid that functions as antioxidant and anti-cancer agent. Spinach contains carotenoid that help fights cancer. It is anti-aging food.

I really like raw organic baby spinach and eat it quite a lot. My favourite spinach salad includes granny smith apples, red onions, red peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes. I also love spinach in my green smoothies.

Prenatal Massage

I swear I have no idea what I would do without a good prenatal massage. Massage is a big part of my health care and its especially valuable now. With all of the organs shifting in the body and my back supporting more weight in the belly I definitely feel it more than ever. My mid back and lower back just feels sore and like its really doing so much work, which it is providing all the support for my baby. Pregnancy is such a curious state-you feel every little thing changing in your body on daily basis. Yes it is quite remarkable but at the same time quite intense. So far I had three major physical sensations in this order: first I felt ligaments in the abdomen stretch making the sides of my belly sore, then I had sharp pain in the pubic bone due to pubic bone separation and finally right now I have sore back from my belly growing larger. Other than that I can't complain. I enjoy feeling my baby kick and going through all of the changes knowing that it won't last forever. I am enjoying being able to rest, eat well and exercise and I enjoy all of the wonderful support I get from my family and my husband. Bless them all :) It must be hard to put up with a pregnant woman.
