The question I would like to bring to your attention today is can vitamins help to fight Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I decided to do some studying on the subject and what I found was some interesting facts that helped me support this idea. Let me start out by telling you a little more about RA. More than a million people in the United States have RA. RA typically develops between the ages of 25 and 50. RA is a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints that affects an estimated 1.3 million Americans.

The disease occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the thin membrane that lines the joints. The results can be joint damage, ongoing pain, inflammation, loss function and disability. The joints most commonly affected by RA are those of the hands, feet, wrists, knees, elbows, and ankles. In RA, the primary site of the attack is in the thin layer of tissue that is around the joints.

Studies have shown that those Americans with RA have vitamins deficiencies. The most common vitamin deficiencies in RA is folic acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and Selenium. Food of course is the preferred source for getting the vitamins and minerals. Vitamin Supplements will work in getting the vitamins and minerals that you don’t receive from food. I would like to discuss with you two particular vitamins that studies have shown to help fight RA.

Research has made a case that Vitamin D helps protect older women against RA. Recent Studies has also linked deficiencies of Vitamin D to other disorders such as certain cancers, heart disease, and diabetes. General population studies indicate that about one in three people are Vitamin D deficient especially during the winter months. The easiest way to make sure you are getting the proper amount of Vitamin D is through Vitamin Supplements.

Another Study used data from the Iowa’s Women Health Study, which followed almost 30,000 women, aged 55 to 69, for 11 years. Over the course of those 11 years, the women involved were questioned about their eating habits, their use of nutritional supplements and other health related issues.

During the test, 152 of the women developed RA. The investigators found that women whose diets were highest in Vitamin D had the lowest incidence of RA. Women who got less than 200 International Units (IU) of Vitamin D in their diets each day were 33% more likely to develop RA than women who got more. So how much is enough Vitamin D. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine says that older women should consume 400 to 600 IU per day in order to have an adequate Vitamin D intake.

Vitamin C can also be linked to lowering RA risks. In another study, researchers looked at the link between fruit and vegetable and dietary antioxidant intake and the development of inflammatory arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in a group of 23,000 men and women who entered a large cancer study in the U.K. between 1993 and 1997. As a part of that study, the participants kept track of what they ate in a weekly food diary.

Between 1993 and 2001, 73 people developed inflammatory arthritis affecting two or more painfully swollen joints for at least a month, and 40% of them met the criteria for having RA. Compared with those who did not develop the disease, researchers found that those with arthritis ate fewer fruits and vegetables. Specifically, people who ate the least amount of fruits and vegetables had double the risk of developing inflammatory arthritis.

The study also showed that people who got less than 40 mg of Vitamin C from fruits and vegetables had four times the risk of developing inflammatory arthritis. In the United States, the recommended dietary allowance for men is 90mg of Vitamin C a day and for women is 75mg. Now by taking a look at just those two certain vitamins, I find that vitamins do have added benefits in fighting RA. The vitamins do this by fighting the free radicals (unstable molecules that cause damage to cells) associated with the development of the disease.

Now to get the benefits of all vitamins, it would your best option to take a multi-vitamin. I would also like to say that the best multi-vitamin is a liquid vitamin instead of the standard capsule/pill. Not only will you get the full benefits of the vitamins but the liquid vitamin will work faster because it will absorb into your body quicker.
I know a 74 yr old lady that has been taking a liquid vitamin for the past 6 months and says that it has definitely helped to fight her RA. She takes 2 oz of this vitamin a day. This liquid vitamin has 410mg of Vitamin C per ounce, 1107 IU of Vitamin D3 per ounce and many more essential vitamins and minerals.

Osteoporosis is a loss of bone due to a failure to make bone or excessive destruction of bone through natural processes. Bone is constantly remodeled through life to compensate for microscopic trauma. The bones repair themselves after microscopic or visible trauma by a process of bone destruction known as resorption. The process of resorption is always followed by new bone formation. When resorption and formation get out of balance, osteoporosis, or weak bone results.

The bones are not only the body's largest depot of calcium, they are also the body's largest depot of sodium. Every cell in the body maintains a negative electrical charge, but the electrical charge across the membrane of a bone is cell is very low, only -2 to -4 mV, compared to -90 mV in a cell in the heart. This very small negative charge keeps it from being overwhelmed with toxic levels of sodium. That is, a bone cell is not overwhelmed with sodium until it is injured or becomes "tired."

Cells of bone are programmed to destroy themselves with they are injured. A fracture quickly causes affected bone cells to absorb sodium and acquire a positive charge of +20 to +40 mV. The positive charge on an injured bone cell is ten to twenty times the magnitude of the negative charge on a healthy bone cell. The positive charge fractured bone alters electrical balance throughout the body. In fact, broken bones can be detected not just on X-ray but also by EKG. Abnormalities in sodium metabolism in bone ripple through the entire body.

If sodium levels in the bloodstream are high, the rest of the body cannot absorb small amounts of sodium to offset the huge amounts of sodium going to injured bone. Bone cells are stuck with a positive charge. The injured, positively charge bone cell cannot attract amino acids or respond to hormones. It has to rely on inefficient anaerobic (oxygen-free) respiration to make energy. Anaerobic respiration fills the cell with lactic acid. The only way it can lower its charge is by releasing calcium.

Calcium, of course, is key to the strength of bone. As injured cells attempt to heal themselves by lowering their electrical charge, the bone becomes weaker. If the cells are completely unsuccessful at repairing their metabolic machinery by release of calcium, they die. The "hole" in the bone must be cleaned up by specialized cells called osteoclasts. These are giant cells with multiple nuclei and redundant mitochondrial "energy factories" that make them resistant to metabolic stress. The "hole" is filled by restoration cells called osteoblasts. These are smaller cells with a single nucleus and a single set of mitochondria that are very sensitive to metabolic stress.

The cells that destroy bone are much more efficient and resilient than the cells that make new bone. Under conditions of metabolic stress, such as high sodium and low potassium, bone-destroying osteoclasts predominate over bone-making osteoblasts. But if the bone is partially successful at restoring their metabolic machinery by release of calcium, it remains alive, partially decalcified and vulnerable to fracture, not to be replaced for months or years as it progressively weakens.

Critics of this observation note that the kidneys conserve calcium even if it is released by bone. Over 95 percent of calcium released by bone is recycled back into the bloodstream by the kidneys. Over 99 percent of sodium, however, is also recycled back into the bloodstream by the kidneys, so bone cell disorganization progresses unless dietary intake of sodium is restricted. Most of the research regarding the relationship between sodium and osteoporosis has focused on prevention.

At least one study suggests that an average intake of 16,000 mg or sodium per day increases the risk of osteoporosis by 300 to 400 percent. The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition of the UK estimates that preventing osteoporosis requires restricting sodium to 6,000 mg per day. Exact recommendations of sodium intake for preventing osteoporosis are not possible because salt sensitivity varies from person to person and from day to day in individuals. Correcting osteoporosis, however, requires much lower consumption of sodium, certainly less than 1,500 mg per day and optimally about 360 mg per day.

When researchers put volunteers on a "low" salt diet containing 2000 mg of sodium a day, calcium excretion (measured by the concentration of calcium in 24-hour samples of their urine) was essentially the same as when they consumed a "normal" diet containing 3300 mg of sodium a day. Giving supplemental potassium, however, significantly increased retention of calcium. I believe this is because potassium allows bone cells to "recharge" so that they do not need to expel calcium to reduce their concentrations of sodium.

Opponents of sodium restriction point out that the effects of salt consumption on calcium retention are short term, lasting only about 12 hours. They are right. However, if you consume salty foods every 12 hours, you constantly tire the cells of your bones.

What you can do about osteoporosis? If you consume at least 6,000 mg of potassium per day from food, you will observe improvement in osteoporosis if you restrict consumption of sodium to about 600 mg per day, regardless of your calcium or magnesium consumption. Even less sodium, however, is more effective.

Sytropin is a supplement made of natural ingredients which are combined to raise the amount of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) that is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. As a person grows older, it is evident that the levels of HGH are lower and this can be attributed to many ongoing health issues that are often sited with coinciding with age. While using an HGH releaser like Sytropin, people can now experience growing older without having to go through a lot of the problems that have long been associated with old age.

A lot of the issues seen as natural accumulating problems with age are unrestful sleep, lack of sexual libido, gain in weight, wrinkles on various skin parts like face and neck, hair loss, low energy levels and memory lapses. These are all preventable characteristics of getting older with the use of Sytropin, a natural HGH releaser. The meaning of a releaser is a product that promotes production of HGH in your own body. The alternative would be a replacement for HGH, but the releaser is more effective because it actually makes you create more and acts as a more natural solution.

The initial first synthetic human growth hormone was produced in the 1980’s and there are studies that go back to the early 1990’s of control groups showing the differences between two groups of men, one of which took an injectable HGH and both of which had the same diet and exercise routines. The group that took the HGH injections did display significant increases from the other group when it came to lean muscle mass, lowering body fat and large improvements in the areas of sleep, energy levels and skin tone and elasticity. Even then, the benefits of elevating this hormone level were obvious. The popularity did not skyrocket immediately simply because it was very expensive for the consumer to take the injections and at the time, oral supplements were also very expensive to create.

Currently, taking injections remains a very highly priced option mainly taken advantage of by wealthy consumers and the likes of competitive athletes. The more affordable options available that do not require a prescription come in two different oral forms which are releasers or secretagogues. These secretagogues are an avenue of homeopathic medicine and contain fragment doses of human growth hormone which is what stimulates the pituitary gland to create more HGH as opposed to the releasers which actually do not have HGH but have the composition of HGH such as L-group amino acids like L-valine and L-arginine.

The best way to evaluate if Sytropin is a sensible option for you to take is to consume it regularly and try it out for at least 3 months. It is through this time period that it will be apparent that you will feel more energy, sleep more restfully and look more youthful from the inside out. Compare this to using skin lotions and energy drinks which often only work for a few hours at best. Continue to read further and research the benefits of this HGH releaser and the reviews other people have given it from trying it out themselves for several months. This will certainly be a more cost effective measure to try before any type of surgery or other type of expensive or potentially dangerous solutions.

Causes and Risk Factors of Constipation

The common causes of constipation are: Not enough fiber in the diet, Not enough liquid, Lack of exercise, Medications, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Laxative abuse, and Disease. Constipation means that a person has three bowel movements or fewer in a week. The stool is hard and dry. Sometimes it is painful to pass. You may feel "draggy" and full.

Some people think they should have a bowel movement every day. That is not really true. There is no "right" number of bowel movements. Each person's body finds its own normal number of bowel movements. It depends on the food you eat, how much you exercise, and other things.

At one time or another, almost everyone gets constipated. In most cases, it lasts for a short time and is not serious. When you understand what causes constipation, you can take steps to prevent it. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - IBS is a common condition marked by chronic or occasional diarrhea, alternating with constipation and accompanied by straining and abdominal cramps.

What You Can Do About Constipation

Changing what you eat and drink and how much you exercise will help relieve and prevent constipation. Here are some steps you can take.

1. Eat more fiber. The American Dietetic Association recommends 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day, but the average American eats about 5 to 20 grams a day. Fiber helps form soft, bulky stool. It is found in many vegetables, fruits, and grains.

Be sure to add fiber a little at a time, so your body gets used to it slowly. Limit foods that have little or no fiber such as ice cream, cheese, meat, snacks like chips and pizza, and processed foods such as instant mashed potatoes or already-prepared frozen dinners. Below lists some high-fiber foods.

FRUITS: Apples, Peaches, Raspberries, Tangerines VEGETABLES: Acorn squash, raw Broccoli, raw Brussels sprouts, raw Cabbage, raw Carrots, raw Cauliflower, raw Spinach, cooked Zucchini Breads, Cereals, and Beans: Black-eyed peas, cooked Kidney beans, cooked Lima beans, cooked Whole-grain cereal, cold (All-Bran, Total, Bran Flakes), Whole-grain cereal, hot (oatmeal, Wheatena), Whole-wheat or 7-grain bread

2. Drink plenty of water and other liquids such as fruit and vegetable juices and clear soups.

Liquids like water and juice add fluid to the colon and bulk to stools, making movements softer and easier to pass. Recommended daily consumption of liquid is eight, eight-ounce glasses (totaling 64 ounces) per day. Try not to drink liquids that contain caffeine or alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol tend to dry out your digestive system.

3. Get enough exercise.

Regular exercise helps your digestive system stay active and healthy. You don't need to become a great athlete. A 20- to 30-minute walk every day may help.

4. Allow yourself enough time to have a bowel movement.

Sometimes we feel so hurried that we don't pay attention to our body's needs. Make sure you don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement.

5. Use laxatives only if a doctor says you should.

A laxative is a food or chemical substance that acts to loosen the bowels by softening and increasing the bulk of bowel contents, increasing the amount of water in the colon and lubricating the intestinal walls. Over time, laxatives can damage nerve cells in the colon and interfere with the colon's natural ability to contract. The truly acceptable method for relieving long-standing constipation problems is a Natural Herbal Colon Cleanse.

Laxatives are medicines that will make you pass a stool. Most people who are mildly constipated do not need laxatives. However, if you are doing all the right things and you are still constipated, your doctor may recommend laxatives for a limited time.

Your doctor will tell you if you need a laxative and what type is best for you. Laxatives come in many forms: liquid, chewing gum, pills, and powder that you mix with water, for example. But most practitioners are now recommending a Natural Herbal Colon Cleanse.

6. Check with your doctor about any medicines you take.

Some medicines can cause constipation. They include calcium pills, pain pills with codeine in them, some antacids, iron pills, diuretics (water pills), and medicines for depression. If you take medicine for another problem, be sure to ask your doctor whether it could cause constipation. Some medications that can cause constipation are:

analgesics (Codeine, Demerol, Perocdan), antacids (Maalox, Mylanta), anticholingerics (Donnatal), anticonvulsants (Dilantin), anti-depressants (Tricyclics), Beta-blockers (Inderal, Tenormin) iron and calcium supplements, pain medications, antispasmodics and diuretics.

Points to Remember

• Constipation affects almost everyone at one time or another. • Many people think they're constipated when really they aren't. • In most cases, following these simple tips will help prevent constipation: o Eat a variety of foods, especially beans, bran, whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables. o Drink plenty of liquids. o Exercise regularly. o Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. o Understand that normal bowel habits are different for everyone. o If your bowel habits change, check with your doctor. • Most people with mild constipation do not need laxatives.

However, doctors may recommend laxatives for a limited time for people with chronic constipation.

• Medicines that you take for another problem might cause constipation.

A major remedy for constipation, which should be used in conjunction with a lifestyle change and benefits of the above modifications, is a Natural Herbal Colon Cleanse.

An all Natural Herbal Colon Cleanse treatment has changed hundreds of thousands of people's lives through a gentle and effective whole body safe and effective internal cleansing, and proven to be the best solution to constipation.

Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces. It is one of the commonest phobias we see here in the UK

Indeed, it is believed that as much as 5% of the general population suffer from this disruptive and troublesome disorder. Sadly, only a very small percentage of claustrophobics receive treatment for their condition.

Most often, this is because they are simply unaware that a truly effective treatment actually exists.

The good news is that regardless of what you may imagine, have read or have been told, there really is a permanent solution to the nightmare of claustrophobia.

Apart from the inconvenience, fear and anxiety commonly experienced, claustrophobia can have real implications for the individual's health. Having to undertake a medical examination involving a CAT or MRI scan, for instance, can be a tremendously frightening and even traumatic experience.

In some cases, simply being in a room with the door closed can produce overwhelming feelings of anxiety.

Claustrophobia symptoms are only too well known by those suffering from them. The fear commonly produces physical responses such as rapid heart beat, sweating, shaking, light-headedness, fainting and hyperventilation.

Clinically speaking, claustrophobia is classified as an anxiety disorder and is what is termed a 'situational phobia' because it is triggered by certain situations.

The claustrophobic individual may very well acknowledge that it is irrational, but this does nothing to lessen the intense and powerful feelings of fear, anxiety and panic.

Yes, claustrophobia, like all phobias, is by nature irrational - yet the feeling mind - the subconscious mind - has precious little respect or regard for the rational.

Its job is to generate feelings that it believes are in the very best interest of the individual.

And with claustrophobia, the subconscious mind is working from the belief that being in a small space means being in imminent danger and so it is attempting to prevent the person from placing him or herself in such danger by producing feelings of fear, anxiety and panic.

The origin of claustrophobia usually lies in a previous uncomfortable experience that the person has undergone, either in childhood or as an adult, and this has created what is known as a 'conditioned response'.

Such experiences commonly involve the feeling of being trapped or stuck in a confined space such as an elevator, car, plane, cupboard, tunnel, fairground ride, or in any other small and restrictive space.

Though I have read articles which categorically state that there is no cure for claustrophobia, in my professional experience this is completely untrue and incorrect.

Those who steadfastly believe that no cure exists are simply ignorant of how to cure it. They are unaware of the efficacy of transformational hypnotherapy in treating and permanently eliminating this phobia.

Usually, 3 or 4 hypnotherapy sessions are all that is required in order to completely remove this truly debilitating condition forever.

If you or someone you care about is wrestling with the terrible, restricting condition known as claustrophobia, real help is available.

With advanced transformational hypnotherapy, even the most claustrophobic person can rapidly re-gain their freedom - and get on with their life.

Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is regulated by our sympathetic nervous system. Our nervous system increases the blood flow to our skin cells and causes more sweating while you are doing physical activity. Some people, often overweight and obese people, suffer from excessive sweating even at the slightest physical activity. They are looking for a natural hyperhidrosis treatment in order to solve their problem. There are several ways to stop hyperhidrosis like facial scrubs, baby powder, some drinks with antiperspirant quality or performing a healthy diet. We will discuss these natural hyperhidrosis treatments in this article.

The use of facial scrubs is a natural hyperhidrosis treatment, which can decrease or stop excessive sweating. You have to use the facial scrubs at areas of your body where you are sweating. The reason it works is because of its exfoliating nature. Once the pores are cleared, you may experience more sweating for once. Once the toxins are removed from your body the sweating frequency reduces. But don’t use the scrub more than two times a week. Two times scrubbing is enough to exfoliate your screen. Let us discuss some drinks with antiperspirant quality as another natural hyperhidrosis treatment.

Turnip juice and sage tea have been found to have antiperspirant qualities. If you drink one full glass of turnip juice, respectively a cup of sage tea, every morning, it can reduce your sweating by a good portion and keep your embarrassments at bay. The web is storehouse of many other such natural hyperhidrosis treatments for excessive sweating problem. Have you ever heard of baby powder as a natural hyperhidrosis treatment? Let us get into it.

Baby powder has always been in use in excessive sweating problems. Indeed baby powder can have a solution to your hyperhidrosis problem. Sweating causes irritation and some kind of uneasiness due to the wet surface on your skin. But baby powder absorbs the sweat and keeps your body relaxed. Corn starch does the same. Though this simple method may not be a natural hyperhidrosis treatment to stop excessive sweating entirely, but it is a great way to solve your problem. Now that you have an overview over several ways to stop hyperhidrosis, let us talk about the most effective natural hyperhidrosis treatment.

It’s an unquestionable fact that most people who suffer under excessive sweating are either overweight or even obese. If you are overweight or obese, I have news for you. Performing a healthy and well balanced diet is by far the most effective way to stop hyperhidrosis. In addition you prevent some serious health issues by performing a healthy diet. The key to use a diet as an effective natural hyperhidrosis treatment is to integrate some changes into your habit of eating permanently.

Here are some tips in order to get started.

• Split your meals into 5 to 6 small portions per day. The reason for this is your metabolic rate. Ever time you ingest food to your body your metabolic rate is boosting a little bit.

• You have to avoid foods with a lot of simple sugar and trans fatty acids altogether.

• Decrease the calorie intake and the intake of carbohydrates in the evening.

• Get into the habit of reading the ingredients of food and drink packages before buying them.

• Good food options are: vegetables, salad with a low calorie dressing, low fat quark, lean meat, some fish, potatoes, noodles, oat flakes, protein shake and a little fruits like banana or apple.

Take advantage of the best natural hyperhidrosis treatment and perform a healthy and well balanced diet.

The pH miracle diet is a program for restoring stability in the cadaver by consuming alkaline foods. The cadaver's cells are somewhat alkaline and by consuming alkalizing victuals you can support your cadaver's normal function. In addition to consuming alkalizing victuals, Dr. Robert Young, the maker of the diet, also suggests evading acidifying victuals like animal protein, wheat and dairy. Those who want good strength, according to Dr. Young, should become lacto-vegetarians.

The typical American diet certainly isn't alkalizing and certainly isn't lacto-vegetarian. Animal protein is a core of most people's diets. However, the need for animal protein is a not.

There is a current faith in out society that overwhelming a lot of protein promotes strength and particularly physical health. Men specially are anticipated to eat huge amount of animal protein in order to have power and energy. This legend has succeeded as far back in history as many can memorize. In the beginning of the twentieth century, scientists began to believe that overwhelming animal protein equaled physical power, particularly in the world of sports. This explicit faith, the link between games and protein, has been one of the lashing forces behind animal protein consumption in the last hundred years.

In reality, the cadaver's need for protein is in fact a lot less than many people think. There are ample of sources for lacto-vegetarian protein that are alkalizing, and suitable on the ph Miracle diet.

But why does the program specially prohibit mammal protein? Mammal protein, like white meat, eggs and dairy foodstuffs all have acidifying sound outcomes on the cadaver. These effects become even more common when you eat non-organic animal protein. Overwhelming conservatively processed animal protein can expose you to hormones, drugs and other compounds that have been given to the flora and fauna before they were killed. There are no definite studies about the protection of hormones, but there are apparent perils. Animals are regularly given antibiotics as well, which will enhance your using up of antibiotics and will decrease helpful bacteria in your cadaver. The decrease of these useful bacteria will allow more metabolic acid to build up in your system, and create devastating fitness effects.

The components in animal protein that are good for you can be obtained from lacto-vegetarian sources without all of the risks. Just one cup of tofu, an alkalizing protein source, has twenty grams of protein. The normal man or women needs less than forty grams per day. Protein needs can easily be met without consuming acidifying animal protein.

Human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, infection damages the body's immune system. Over time, it leads to acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS.

What is going on in the body?

HIV affects the immune system in broad and devastating ways. Its main target is a special immune system cell called the CD4+ T lymphocyte. These cells help the body fight infections of all kinds. When HIV infects these cells, it decreases their numbers and affects how the cells that are left function.

After an adult is infected with HIV, he or she usually has no obvious symptoms for 5 to 10 years. During this time, however, the virus is slowly attacking the immune system. When the immune system is weakened enough, it becomes susceptible to other organisms that the body can usually fight off or keep under control. These other organisms include bacteria, other viruses, fungi, and parasites.

Many serious health problems occur as a result of the immune system damage caused by HIV. The most serious is AIDS.

How is the disease diagnosed? The body produces antibodies to fight off HIV infection. HIV is usually diagnosed by blood tests called antibody titer tests. The enzyme immunoassay, or EIA, is used as a screening test. If this test is positive, a HIV Western blot test is done to confirm the diagnosis. The virus can also be detected by testing for viral proteins and by doing blood cultures. Other tests may be ordered to help diagnose complications of HIV infection, such as pneumonia. Negative tests do not always mean that a person is free of infection. Weeks or months might pass after exposure to the virus before antibodies can be detected in the body. What can be done to prevent the disease?

Although practicing safer sex cannot completely protect a person from HIV, it can lower the risk. Condoms help prevent passing along the virus. Research in laboratories has shown that a spermicide called nonoxynol-9 kills or stops the growth of HIV. However, there are not yet any studies that prove spermicides prevent HIV infection in humans. Some experts do believe that using spermicide on a condom or putting it into the vagina can kill some HIV organisms before they can infect the woman. It is safest to avoid sexual intercourse with people who have HIV infection or unknown HIV status and those who use IV drugs.

A person should not share needles, syringes, or other drug paraphernalia that could carry tainted blood or body fluids with anyone. When caring for someone in an emergency, it is important to wear gloves to protect against HIV in body secretions.

A woman who is pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, should ask her doctor to test her for HIV. If a woman has HIV, steps can be taken during pregnancy and birth to avoid passing it to her baby.

When it comes time to conceive a baby, sometimes it is easier said than done. While some women will get pregnant within their first month of trying, often it can take much longer - up to a year before medical intervention is necessary. So how can you increase your odds of conceiving to speed up the process of getting pregnant? Try implementing the following tips to give your baby making a boost.

Sexual Intercourse Timing
It is important to be aware of when you are ovulating in order to get the most precise intercourse timing. If you are not aware of the approximate day you are ovulating, try tracking your cycles along with taking your basal temperature each morning. When you see a shift in your temperature or a change in your cervical fluid, this indicates ovulation. Once you get a general idea of the cycle day you are ovulating, plan to have intercourse one to two days before ovulation and then again on ovulation day.

Sexual Position
It is thought that in order to increase the odds of conception that the sperm should be deposited as close to the cervix as possible. This can be accomplished best by either using the missionary position or by letting the man enter from the rear. These allow for the deepest penetration and therefore will get the sperm as close to where they need to be during ejaculation.

Female Orgasm
Another factor than can aid the sperm in entering the cervix is if a woman has an orgasm following the man. As the muscles of the uterus vagina contract, this may help ease the sperm through the cervix and toward the fallopian tubes. This will move the sperm to their destination quicker before the are killed off by the hostile environment inside of the vagina.

Laying Down After Intercourse
Gravity is the enemy of sperm trying to swim upstream, so staying laying down after intercourse will help in their journey. You can even stick a pillow under your hips to aid gravity in getting the sperm toward the waiting egg. Laying flat for about 15 minutes should be significant.

Although the journey to conception can be a difficult one, you should always try to create the best environment for sperm to reach the fallopian tubes. Each of these tips should increase your odds, but the most important factor is to make sure your sexual intercourse timing is lined up with your ovulation day.

Once you've successfully fertilized that egg, you may have many unanswered questions on pregnancy. Find lots of information on a variety of pregnancy topics by visiting my Pregnancy Blog. Learn about everything from early pregnancy signs to what to expect throughout your pregnancy journey.
