Marijuana Promotes Mental Health, Study Finds

Researchers argue that, because of this, those who occasionally puff marijuana have a better mental health than others, Daily Mail tells us. In their paper, the researchers detail that marijuana promotes mental health due to the fact that is contains noteworthy amounts of a chemical compound known to the scientific community as tetrahydrocannabinoid (THC, for short). This chemical compound is the cannabis plant’s main psychoactive constituent. It is the one that gets people high, and apparently it is also quite gifted in terms of altering an individual’s response to negative emotions and images they are exposed to.

Prenatal vitamins won’t necessarily meet 100 percent of your vitamin and mineral needs. In addition, your health care provider might suggest higher doses of certain nutrients depending on the circumstances. For example, if you’ve given birth to a baby who has a neural tube defect, your health care provider might recommend a separate supplement containing a higher dose of folic acid such as 4 milligrams (4,000 micrograms) before and during any subsequent pregnancies.Some women feel queasy after taking prenatal vitamins. If this happens to you, take your prenatal vitamin with a snack or before you go to bed at night.In other cases, the iron in prenatal vitamins contributes to constipation.

State-Funded Crisis Pregnancy Centers Talk Women Out Of Birth Control, Condoms: Report

Dolores Wisecarver, director of A Woman’s Choice in Falls Church, Va., one of the locations named by NARAL in its report, refuted the findings.

City turns down pregnancy resource center project

Efforts to build a new pregnancy resource center in southwest Dayton appear to have hit a wall after the city denied a local doctor’s request for land rezoning.

Instead she invested in an assortment of loose-fitting maternity tops, leggings and maternity jeans so that she can run around after her 3-year-old, Ailsa. But many mothers-to-be took note of Middletons business smart maternity wear choices. A British newspaper reported that one high-end department store saw sales of sophisticated dresses and smart styles in their maternity collections increase by more than 500 percent compared to this time last year and is attributing this to pregnant women wanting to emulate the Duchess well-documented elegant look. It was dubbed the duchess effect. The same was likely observed in the states from the plethora of Hollywood stars gracing the red carpets while pregnant in recent years, including Natalie Portman, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham and Jessica Alba. Sure, they are benefiting from custom garments for A-list occasions, but the women were photographed daily in clothing ranging from casual gym attire to garden party charity events. And none passed up an opportunity to flaunt their expanding shape, so most opted for form-fitting or tummy-grazing attire. Sarah King of Webster Groves, who is now eight months pregnant with her first child, said that she didnt buy any maternity clothes, but she did opt for going a size up on some outfits.
