Free LEAN Kids book with the purchase of the NDD Book

The Sears Parenting Library's latest addition is an exploration of how nutrition affects the brains and behavior of youngsters. N.D.D., or Nutrition Deficit Disorder, as coined by Dr. Bill Sears, is based on the idea that if "you put junk food into a child's brain, you get back junk behavior and learning."

THE N.D.D. BOOK will be a must-have for all parents who want to help their children become healthier, happier, and better prepared to learn.

Add both books to your cart, enter the coupon code and see your discount

HOME CARE FOR HEALTHY GUMS

Home care to prevent normal gum changes of pregnancy from becoming more unpleasant and severe includes:

  • Eating more fruits and vegetables, which are rich in vitamin C. A calcium- rich diet is also good for your teeth.
  • Swishing with an antiseptic mouthwash several times a day. Spit it out; don't swallow it.
  • Using a soft bristle toothbrush that does not cause your gums to bleed.
  • Brushing more frequently, and certainly after each meal. Get used to carrying an extra toothbrush and tube of toothpaste in your purse or briefcase.
  • Flossing regularly, at least once a day.
  • Considering the use of an ultrasonic toothbrush, which is more effective than a regular toothbrush in removing plaque. It may also be friendlier to your sensitive gums.
  • Avoiding sticky candy and other sweets. Toffee, figs, and other sticky stuff is likely to collect in the swollen crevices of pregnant gums, so satisfy your sweet tooth with less sticky stuff.
