One of the reasons many parents say that they put their children into daycare or early preschool is so the kids will be exposed to more germs and therefore get their illnesses over with before they reach school age, when absence from school may have more of an impact.

I knew a mom once who firmly believed in the idea of exposing her kids early to illnesses. In fact, she ran a day care, and if a child came in sick, she would make sure that her children were playing with that child and sharing toys, in order to increase their exposure to germs early.

In the interest of disclosure, I am one of those moms that not only does not like daycare or preschool (tried them both, and they just didn’t work for my family) and who carries hand sanitizer everywhere I go with my kids.

Another theory goes that I may actually be harming my children by not exposing them early to as many germs as possible, setting them up for allergies and asthma later in life.

But a recent study that followed kids at age eight, found that kids who attended day care and early preschool were not more immune to allergies and asthma. The quote from an article on HealthDay about the study says:

“We found no evidence for any protection for asthma, allergy and airway hyper-responsiveness at 8 years,” said Dr. Johan C. de Jongste, professor of pediatric respiratory medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands, who led the study.

The study was published in the Sept. 15 issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

So while there may be very good reasons for placing your child in daycare and early preschool, including enabling parents to work and promoting some social interaction, it can’t necessarily be used as a health strategy for your kids.

If you are thinking about getting your belly pierced while pregnant then better think twice. Postponing this procedure is a better option. You have to understand the fact that your belly becomes bigger with your baby inside it. As it enlarges every week, the area around your belly button ring can become irritated. Cleaning it can also be a difficult order thus posing more risk for infection.

If you already have a belly button ring before you got pregnant it is advisable to remove it especially for a planned cesarean section.

Physical Activity for Health:
This level of physical activity

* includes a minimal amount of low-to moderate-intensity activities (e.g., washing the car, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, raking the lawn, gardening);
* consists of 30 minutes of such activity accumulated (all at once or broken up into shorter periods) throughout the day;
* should occur on most days of the week;
* should be incorporated into daily living, not a structured fitness program;
* includes cardiorespiratory, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility activities through daily activities (e.g., cardio: taking the stairs instead of the elevator; muscular: carrying shopping bags instead of pushing them in a cart; flexibility: reaching up to clean above windows instead f using an extender pole);
* is associated with a reduction in the risk for several diseases;

Physical Activity for Fitness: This level of physical activity

* is appropriate for people who are healthy and otherwise active in their lives;
* is a structured exercise program used to achieve a higher level of cardiorespiratory, muscular, and flexibility fitness and/or to manage body weight;
* results in further health gains that can be achieved beyond the baseline daily activity program; and
* is needed as a foundation for achieving performance-based goals.

* can be used by people looking to improve basic health; and
* should be considered the optimum starting place for sedentary people.

Physical Activity for Performance/Competition: This level of physical activity

* is appropriate for people who have already achieved a high level of physical fitness;
* involves a program designed to push clients to their upper physical limit;
* is more specific than a general fitness program and is designed to target the performance category (e.g., cardiorespiratory vs. muscular strength);
* offers an optimum program that specifically targets muscle groups and movements used in the sport/competitive activity;
* incorporates flexibility exercises in a performance-based program to reduce risk of injury; and
* emphasizes a training program that will help the client become the best competitive athlete possible.

By using this chart and being honest with ourselves, an accurate assessment of our fitness levels establish the groundwork for our goals. Success rather than failure results because our expectations are realistic.
