Problem: Article: The exact causes of hyperemesis gravidarum are unknown, although high levels of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and estrogen may contribute to it. Women with multiple pregnancies (i.e. twins) are at a higher risk for hyperemesis gravidarum, as are women who are pregnant for the first time, and women pregnant with a female baby.  If hyperemesis gravidarum runs in your family (such as if your mother had it), or if you had it with a previous child, you may also be at a higher risk for developing it. Other risk factors include stress, anxiety, and depression. It's essential to see a healthcare provider regularly once you become pregnant. If you are trying to conceive, find an OB-GYN in your area so that you can schedule your first prenatal appointment as soon as you get pregnant. Make sure your OB-GYN accepts your health insurance. Women who are overweight may have a higher chance of developing hyperemesis gravidarum. Take up gentle exercise, like walking, swimming, or doing yoga, for 30 minutes per day 5 days per week. Speak to your healthcare provider before beginning an exercise regiment A vitamin B6 deficiency may increase your risk for hyperemesis gravidarum. Speak to your healthcare provider before taking any supplements. Vitamin B6 supplements may also decrease your chances of vomiting while pregnant.
Summary: Understand the risk factors. Establish prenatal care. Lose weight if you are overweight. Take up to 40 mg of vitamin B6 per day.

Problem: Article: Most chain thrift outlets like Goodwill and the Salvation Army will put you on a mailing list for coupon and sale opportunities. These same stores often take pictures of furniture and other "in demand" items and post them online.  Reviewing online offerings before shopping can save you trips around town. Anticipate what people will be turning out of their closets at certain times during the year. When planning your thrifting trips, for certain items, consider the following:  Shop for summer clothes in the fall when people are thinning out their warm weather clothes in favor of sweaters and coats. The same goes for getting winter clothes in the spring. Look for kitchen items and accessories after college graduations.  When students are done with school, they often move back home or to a new city for employment, leaving behind many gently-used kitchen items, lamps, bedding items, etc. Look for furniture during the summer and early fall.  More people get married during the summer than any other time of year and often have duplicate furniture items that wind up at thrift stores. Looking to get the best deals that thrifting has to offer? Create a weekly rotation for thrifting, centered around when new shipments arrive at each store. Other things to consider are:  Shop early. If you want to get first pick, arrive as the store opens. Shop late. On sale days, some stores are looking to clear out all items on sale, and will offer deeper discounts just before closing.
Summary: Get on email lists and shop online when possible. Shop seasonally. Have a weekly rotation.

Problem: Article: Aerobic or cardio exercise will help burn calories and support your weight loss.  The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that adults perform up to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio each week, or up to 60 minutes per day 5 days of the week.  Try a variety of exercises like:  walking, jogging/running, biking, using the elliptical, swimming or dancing. In addition to helping support weight loss or a healthy weight, cardiovascular activities have also been shown to help manage diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. In addition to cardiovascular exercise, you should also include a few days of strength or resistance training.  The CDC recommends 2 days of strength training for at least 20 minutes a session.  It's also recommended to do a variety of exercises so that you will work each major muscle group (legs, chest, core, arms, etc).  There are a variety of activities that can count as strength training including:  lifting free weights, using weight machines, yoga and pilates. There are a variety of exercises that have been promoted to help get rid of neck fat; however, most have the opposite effect.  Although you might think that working or strengthening the muscles around your neck could help get rid of fat, these exercises may only bulk up your neck muscles.  Bulky muscles will make your neck look thicker, not smaller. In general, when you lose weight, you will notice a decrease in the amount of fat that you carry around your neck.
Summary: Perform cardiovascular exercises. Do 2 days of strength training. Avoid neck toning exercises.
