Health and Wellbeing Trying for Baby?
I
f you want to try for a baby you’ll want it to be healthy, so plan to be as close to optimum health as you can. My basic nutritional advice is to eat right and eat raw. Eat highly nutritious food, preferably organic and only what you need and not necessarily what you want! The most important supplement to consider is folic acid. This helps to prevent neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. Take it in a supplement designed for preconception. Avoid problem foods. Intolerances can interfere with the proper absorption of vitamins and minerals, such as zinc and manganese, which are essential to optimum fertility. Statistics suggest that if one parent has allergies, there is a 50% chance of their child having an allergy and it’s almost a certainty if both have them. It is therefore important to remove any foods that could be the source of these allergies. Artificial pesticides and additives can cause or aggravate allergic reactions and contribute to hyperactivity, so eat organic where possible. Eat at least one salad meal a day and snack on fresh fruit, raw vegetable sticks and juices to obtain essential enzymes often destroyed in cooking. Both parents may need to detox and reduce any excess fat (where many harmful toxins are stored) at least 6 months before conception. It is best not to diet during pregnancy or when breast-feeding. Begin by cutting alcohol, caffeine, hydrogenated fats, refined foods high in salt and sugar and processed foods for a week. Eat more salads, fruit & veg and drink mineral water and herb teas between meals. Continue for another week, also avoiding dairy products, meat and wheat, oats and rye (try brown rice, quinoa, rice milk and fish instead). Use milk thistle
6
complex to support the liver if you’re feeling a bit sluggish and a chromium supplement if you’re suffering from extreme sugar cravings. Gradually re-introduce the different food groups, one each day. This is a good time to discover for yourself any foods you may be intolerant to. Once restored to optimum health, develop a personal healthy eating and drinking plan, similar to week one of the detox and avoid any problem foods. Some women may be deficient in B vitamins, zinc and other minerals, especially if they have been on the contraceptive pill or fertility drugs. The best sources of zinc include meat, shellfish and salmon. For vegetarians, pumpkin seeds offer one of the most concentrated non-meat food sources of zinc and also Brewer’s yeast, eggs, beans, and wholegrain cereals. Excellent sources of manganese include leafy veg, carrots, fruit, seeds, garlic, beans, spices and wholegrain cereals. For more advice on nutrition and supplements, check out Foresight, the Association for the Promotion of Pre- conception care, at www.foresightpreconception.org.uk (01243 868001) and www.patient.co.uk Sue Blain, Naturopath

Cowboy Mechanic?
o you know your crankshaft from your caliper? If not you’re probably one of the people who pops open the bonnet and stares in at a mass of ‘whatsits and dohiggys’; finding a trustworthy and diligent mechanic can be a tricky task. Which?, the consumer watchdog, recently published a set of figures that make for a depressing read for British motorists. Their undercover investigation involved 62 cars; each car had been rigged with a number of faults. Of the 62 cars, 90% failed to spot at least one problem on the car. Half missed low brake fluid while 20% overlooked low tyre pressure in a rear tyre. Only eight cars were returned fully repaired! How can I identify a competent garage? There are a number of accreditation schemes already available to garages and repair centres. If a company is accredited they should display a certificate stating their achievement and the supporting organisation. The Office of Fair Trading, Bosch, Good Garage Scheme and Automotive Technician Accreditation all support UK mechanics. How do I spot a cowboy mechanic? How busy is the garage? – If a garage is empty, it’s not a good sign. There may be a quick turn around, but if it’s empty, it’s normally for a reason. Is the garage recognised by any of the accredited schemes? – An accredited garage is more likely to outperform one without accreditation. Don’t be afraid to ask! How interested does the mechanic sound? – The more vague or uninterested a mechanic sounds, normally correlates to the standard of service you’ll receive. Ideally a mechanic should listen intently to your problems and provide detailed diagnoses for the problem.
12
How much should the job cost? – Ring a few garages asking for quotations on the same job; it’s the simplest way of working how much it should cost. Once you agree to a price, ask for it in writing, that way if they try to charge more you can argue your side. Completion and Collection Date – Its common sense that a good mechanic should have a good idea of how long a job will take. Completion and collection dates should be stuck to and confirmed in writing. Ask to see any replaced parts – This won’t help mechanic-customer relations, but it will certainly prove whether they are telling the truth. Insist on full written details of the service – Mechanics should provide all written details of the work carried out on an invoice or receipt. The more detail the better. Maintaining vehicles requires a skilled hand and experience, so it’s only fair you pay for that service. Not all mechanics or garages are out to trick you; the majority are fair, friendly and reliable. Ask family and friends for a recommended centre, do your research and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Matt Benselin

Pension Changes
ension reform is all around us at the moment and the majority of it is good news. The biggest reform is that from 6th April 2011, we will no longer be required to purchase an annuity at age 75. One of the main reasons that this is such good news is that a good proportion of the pensions funds that we build up can now be returned to our families on our death, if we choose to do so and if we have planned appropriately. Unfortunately there is a tendency to ignore ones pension once it is setup. Reviewing your pension is as important as starting a pension, a financial adviser should regularly review your pension plans to ensure that they continue to be appropriately invested in a changing market place. A relatively small difference in return can have a big impact over years: £10,000 invested for 30 years at 4% avg growth – expected return £32,434
£10,000 invested for 30 years at 8% avg growth – expected return £100,627 Do you know what your pension growth is achieving? Are you on target to collect the income you want at retirement? With living cost and life expectancy increasing you should constantly review your situation and control of your future. Always speak to an independent financial adviser rather for unbiased advice. We offer a free financial review where we give you clear unbiased advice to compare and explain your current position or new requirements with no obligation.

Marketing Masterclass Rapid Profit Booster Whether you are a start Business or well established, your monthly Rapid Profit Booster will equip you with tips, tools and strategies to grow your Business and Boost your Profits Get Your Readers Attention! The first mistake almost everyone makes when designing their advert is assuming people are going to want to read it, chances are, they’re not. People are busy and they have their attention focused on what’s important to them. This is always true and probably will be for as long as we’re human beings. Your FREE exclusive report will ‘clear the fog’ on all of this, but it is only available for a limited time. But for now you do need to understand getting someone to stop what they’re doing and transfer their attention to your advert is no mean feat, and that’s why the
very first thing all your copy must have is a strong, powerful, and compelling headline and NOT your logo or the name of your company. In your FREE Report Master Copywriter Joe Sugarman sums it up nicely by saying “the purpose of your headline is to get the reader to stop and read the first line of your copy; and the purpose of the first line is to get them to read the second line...and so on”. Your FREE Report is available until 15th June 2011. From this it’s obvious how important the headline is, because if we don’t get them to read that, then we may as well forget the rest.

Garden View
I
Take a Holiday
love looking at my garden for sure. When I see the results of all my labours I get a nice warm glow. But as much as I like looking at my own garden, there is a part of me which is insatiably curious about other people’s gardens too. It’s always a pleasure to see the product of another’s horticultural vision and it can be inspiring to see how someone has tackled a particular problem, from damp shade to impoverished soil.
If you don’t want to commit to a holiday, but you enjoy looking at other people’s gardens, then the National Garden Scheme (NGS) was tailor-made for you. Every year hundreds of private gardens are opened to the public on certain days and the entrance fees charged go to charity.
A few years ago, I came across a delightful book in the Alastair Sawday range of guides called Special Places to Stay - British Bed and Breakfast for Garden Lovers. It’s packed full of quirky, eccentric and downright beautiful places to stay in England, Scotland and Wales. There are Bed and Breakfasts, small hotels and holiday cottages. Some are on organic farms and a couple are even on islands.
The gardens range from tiny to several acres, but all are inspiring. The NGS publish their informative Yellow Book annually, but they also have an easyto-navigate website at www.ngs.org.uk. Oddly, although it’s called the National Garden Scheme, Scotland doesn’t get a mention. I only discovered this omission when we holidayed in Scotland and found that no gardens north of the border were listed. Thankfully, I did discover that the wonderful Scotland’s Garden Scheme (SGS) plugs the gap nicely. Find them at www.gardensofscotland.org.
Each property has been selected for its warm welcome and hospitality, as well as for its beautiful grounds. Some even offer gardening courses.
Whether you want to get away from it all, or simply fancy a day away from your own plot garnering some inspiration, I hope I’ve given you some ideas.
The book has recently been republished in its sixth incarnation. The photographs alone are worth the cover price, and there are handy gardening hints scattered throughout.
Have a happy gardening holiday.
If you fancy a weekend away with a horticultural twist, look no further than this little book. Find their website at www.sawdays.co.uk If you enjoy visiting National Trust properties, did you know that the organisation owns more than 60 holiday cottages located in or right next to its many spectacular gardens? They offer short and longer breaks, so check them out at www. nationaltrustcottages. co.uk
