2. Kate Hudson
The gorgeous daughter of actress Goldie Hawn gained 60 pounds during her pregnancy, which she needed to shed quickly before commencing on her next film. From her previous eating plan, she switched to a higher protein diet. She consumed high protein meals in smaller portions, and she combined this diet with an exercise program that includes weight training and cardiovascular workouts. After getting a lot of flak because of her post-pregnancy figure, Kate removed all that baby weight in only four months and has gained abdominal muscles that gained the envy of many in Hollywood.

3. Oprah Winfrey
As one of the most successful talk-show hosts in the world, there is no question that Oprah needs to maintain her physical appearance for her millions of audiences. Known as one of those celebrities who are constantly battling weight gain, she has recently toned up her figure and has never looked figure in age 50 by combining a regular exercise regime and diet plan. Oprah works out five days a week, spending 30 minutes on the threadmill and doing free weights. Her eating plan consists of legumes, fish, nuts, fruits and vegetables, chicken and dairy products that are lowfat. She limits her consumption of white sugar and flour. Oprah also credits her trim figure to her habit of not eating anything after seven in the evening.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow
A lot of people may find it hard to believe that the perpetually slim Academy award-winning actress actually needs to diet. Gwyneth actually follows a healthy eating plan that resembles Oprah’s, avoiding sugar and white flour. She usually follows a macrobiotic diet, eating foods like vegetables, brown rice, and lean meat. She also eliminated dairy from her diet, and does yoga everyday.

5. Madonna
The pop star known as the Material Girl has always flaunted a body that is to die for, and has become a true fitness paragon over the years. She keeps herself in tip-top shape by having Ashtanga Yoga, and follows a strict diet that mostly shuns junk foods. She adopted a macrobiotic eating plan that includes organic foods rich in lean protein.

6. Claudia Schiffer
The bodacious German supermodel eats salad and steamed vegetables for dinner and eats only fruits before the afternoon. While on locations, she prefers to eat black grapes and drinks tomato juice and herbal tea.

7. Christie Brinkley
Long-time supermodel maintains her all-American good looks by being a vegetarian. She does not keep junk foods of any kind inside her home to make sure that she does not eat them when cravings occur. She snacks on sweet potatoes in place of candy bars, and she adopts a liquid juice diet when she needs to slim down fast.

Celebrities are just like ordinary people. They need to maintain their figures just like anyone else, and there is more pressure on their part since they are constantly in the public eye. Ordinary folks can have celebrity-like bodies, too, and by following these diet and fitness plans, they can also look like red-carpet worthy.

Hi, I’m a mother of three wonderful children, 2 boys ages 21 and 23, and a beautiful daughter age 20. Thank goodness they’re all in college now, which makes all my grey hair worth it.

My pregnancy story begins on a very rocky road, that, if it weren’t for my husbands strength, compassion and level headedness, I don’t think I would’ve been able to get through it.

We married young and being from the era when starting a family was immediately expected right after the wedding vows, I was crazy with distress when I didn’t become pregnant within the first 6 months of our nuptials. My husband wasn’t too worried and tried to relieve my concerns, but unfortunately to no avail.

I started to become frantic that something was medically wrong, so I dragged my new husband to our family physician to physically check us both out.

Reluctantly, my husband agreed to all the various fertility tests our physician recommended we take, to rule out anything serious and when all was said and done, after our physician reviewed all of the tests, he concluded nothing was wrong and that we were absolutely healthy, but if we wanted some information on fertility procedures, he would be more than willing to counsel us on those matters.

My doctors recommendation did not squelch my concerns, in fact, it made me even more upset, I wanted a natural pregnancy, so I did some holistic research of my own, and what I found out on my own eased my tensions regarding how to get pregnant.

In my research I found literally hundreds of herbs and alternative health methods you can follow to help you become pregnant in non-invasive ways that is time-tested and all natural.

First let’s start with what you put in your mouth, your diet is essential to conceiving a healthy baby. Needless to say a healthy diet consisting of all natural fruits and vegetables and whole foods goes a long way and should be adhered to strictly, before, during, and after a pregnancy.

Secondly, when you combine a healthy diet with certain valuable herbs and time-tested alternative methods, you have a winning combination for conception.

Squaw Vine is one such herb, when properly utilized it can be very helpful. The Native Americans, for thousands of years used squaw vine to strengthen a womens’ uterus and along with raspberry leaves are some of the best components to nourish and strengthen the uterus, essential to bare a child. This combination will also help recovery in the women after giving birth.

SQUAW VINE Mitchella repens

This sounds strange, but I know of almost a half dozen herbs referred to as squaw vine, or squaw bush. Likewise, this herb is known by a half dozen or more names like “partridge berry,’ “checker berry,” “squaw berry,” “winter clover,” …

After my last pregnancy I was so glad I took the time to research a natural way to pregnancy, instead of the invasive procedure they have out on the market today, not that I’m knocking any medical procedures that could possibly help a couple to conceive a child when no other way can help them. I opted for the natural way because I’m really afraid of needles ! And finding out how these herbs could help me was a life saver indeed.

For me, this fabulous herb called squaw vine, the traditional Native American home remedy for conceiving a child, that also has holistic recovery properties in combination with various other herbs, gave me and my husband the family we always wanted.

I was so excited, the other day when my husband asked me if I would consider conceiving another child to add to our already wonderful family, I said YES ! not only do I know conception will occur, it will be a lot of fun trying.

Always consult your family physician or practicing holistic healer before embarking on any alternative herbal regimen.

Partridge Berry

5/3/10 The ovaries of the twin flowers fuse, so that there are two flowers for every berry. The two bright red spots on each berry are vestiges of this process. The scarlet berries are edible but rather tasteless, with a faint flavour of wintergreen, resembling cranberries (to which they are not closely related). Each berry contains eight seeds. The fruit ripens between July and October. These berries are part of the diets of several birds, such as Ruffed Grouse, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Northern Bobwhite, and Prairie Chicken. The Red Fox, raccoons and White-tailed Deer seem to like it as well.
