Problem: Article: Incorporate foods from the five groups into your daily diet. Eat smaller and more frequent meals during the day to minimize your symptoms. This can ensure that you get the nutrients important for you and your baby. Managing your diet can also reduce GI symptoms. Select foods from the five groups ever day, including: Three servings of lean proteins like chicken, salmon, nuts, or pork Five or more servings of fruits and vegetables, such as raspberries or broccoli At least three servings of calcium-rich and low-fat dairy products, such as yogurt, cheese or eggs Six or more 2 oz (60 g) servings of whole grains such as brown rice or pasta and whole wheat bread. . Drink at least 15 cups of water a day. This can keep you hydrated and sustain your pregnancy. It can also ease GI issues such as nausea and constipation. Include non-caffeinated tea, bouillon, sodas, and juices in your daily water total. Clear, non-caffeinated soft drinks such as low-sugar ginger ales may also ease nausea and vomiting. Sit or stand up straight for several hours after eating or drinking. Bending over or lying down flat can cause heartburn or belching and may make your GI symptoms worse. Wait at least 3 hours to go to bed after a meal to ensure your slowed digestion doesn't keep you awake. Steer clear of foods and beverages with alcohol or caffeine during your pregnancy. Do not smoke. All three substances can harm your baby. They can also make GI issues worse. Speak to your doctor if you are having trouble avoiding these substances. They can help you reduce your intake. Review your food journal and see if you notice any correlation between certain foods and your GI issues. Limit or avoid these foods as much as possible. Some typical trigger foods for pregnant women include: Fatty foods, including fried foods and fatty cuts of meat Chocolate Spicy dishes Citrus fruits and other acidic foods such as tomatoes Salad dressings Ask your doctor if you and your baby are healthy enough for gentle to moderate exercise. Aim to get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Doing low to moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise can ease GI issues such as constipation. The best way to gauge if you're doing low- to moderate intensity exercise is that you can still talk but not sing while working out. Try walking, swimming, jogging, rowing, biking, or using an elliptical machine. Rowing and elliptical machines may become more difficult as pregnancy progresses. Listen to your body and consult your doctor to determine what makes the most sense for you.
Summary: Eat healthy, small meals. Drink plenty of fluids Stay upright after eating or drinking. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. Steer clear of trigger foods. Get regular exercise.

Problem: Article: Freezing berries and other delicate fruit can take up a lot of freezer space while freezing and may leave you with freezer burned food. This simple and quick trick will have bushels of your berries frozen in no time. You'll need: Dry ice Hammer Insulated gloves Large bowl Stainless steel spoon Make sure that any dirt, bacteria, or any trace contaminants are fully removed from your produce before freezing. After you have finished this, you should allow the fruit to dry for a brief period on a towel. You can move your berries to your bowl once these have dried to prepare to mix with the dry ice. Take your dry ice, while still in its packaging, and use a hammer to break the ice into small pieces. If there is concern that, while breaking your ice, it might chip or fly off irregularly, to protect your eyes and face, it is recommended you wear a face shield and goggles. You will need your insulated gloves to do this. Now that your ice is broken into manageable pieces, you can unwrap the packaging of the dry ice with your gloved hands, and mix the dry ice into the bowl. Gently stir the berries and ice with your stainless steel spoon until the ice is distributed throughout the berries. You don't want your bowl in a small, unventilated container, as this can cause a buildup of carbon dioxide that might damage your container. Frozen berries can be stored in a plastic baggie and stored, in some cases, for up to a year or more. You might consider storing your berries, while freezing, in: a large cooler (Styrofoam works well), or your sink. Be careful if you leave your berries and dry ice in the open. Children or small animals could get hurt playing with or trying to eat dry ice.
Summary: Acquire your flash-freeze tools. Rinse the berries thoroughly. Crush your dry ice and transfer your berries. Toss your fruit salad with the dry ice. Place the bowl in a safe place.

Problem: Article: The Forest Longhorn Beetle and its larvae are only found on trees in the forest. Look for large bore holes that can be up to 10 mm (3/8 inch) across, much larger than most household woodworms. Note that tunnels will be very discreet and run against the grain of the wood. Waney Edge Borer woodworm can be found in wood that has bark on it, and is rarely found in homes. Look for borer dust with bun-shaped pellets around the bark areas from the boring holes. The holes are usually around 2 mm (1/16 inches) in diameter. Ambrosia Beetle woodworm is generally found in the forest; this woodworm can't survive in treated lumber, and only lives outdoors. Unlike other woodworm species, the adult does the tunneling, going against the grain and deep into the wood. Look for black-colored tunnels that are evident after trees are damaged or wood is cut (in a lumber yard, for example.) Wood Boring Weevil woodworm can be found in wood damaged by fungal decay. You can identify this woodworm by looking for tiny holes with ragged bore holes and coarse dust. Look for tunnels that run against the grain and often break the surface of the damaged wood. Powder post woodworm is generally found in seasoned hardwood, which is usually only found in furniture factories and lumber yards. These woodworms tunnel along the grain of the wood, and don't attack old wood (wood that is more than 15 years old). Look for tiny entry and exit bore holes no larger than 2 mm (1/16 inch), and loose, flour-like dust. Deathwatch Beetle woodworm can be found in hardwood, (usually oak), that is partially decayed. Look for bore holes that measure up to 3 mm (1/8 inch) across, and boring dust containing large bun-shaped pellets that are visible without any magnification. If possible, inspect the interior of the wood; more extensive damage occurs inside the wood than what is visible externally.
Summary:
Look for the Forest Longhorn Beetle woodworm. Search for Waney Edge Borer woodworm. Spot Ambrosia Beetle woodworm. Look for Wood Boring Weevil woodworms. Detect Powder Post Beetle woodworm. Look for Deathwatch Beetle woodworm.
