teething in children can sometimes cause mild diarrhea. While teething itself doesn't directly cause digestive issues, it can lead to increased saliva production, which children may swallow more of. This can sometimes irritate the stomach or intestines, leading to soft stools or diarrhea.

However, diarrhea during teething is typically mild and short-lived. If the diarrhea is severe or persists for more than a couple of days, it may be due to another cause, such as a viral infection or a change in diet. Always consult a pediatrician if you're concerned about your child's symptoms.

5 foods that every woman must eat!

"It is estimated that 80% of women will have some form of hormonal imbalance at some point in their lives" [1].14 Jan 2021

Two key hormones in women are estrogen & progesterone - these two are largely affected by cortisol(cortisol feeds off your stress levels a lot- a story for a other day😔).

Sometimes women are so caught up in the issues of life, that they rarely have the time to introspect what their bodies are saying....

Amongst other key natural remedies like sleep, water & supplementation...if you are a 35+ woman consider increasing below foods that are super foods for your estrogen & progesterone hormones.

✅️Avocado- great for keeping your blood sugars down & for good fats
✅️Bitter foods- traditional bitter greens, lemon, ginger, etc (by the way these are great for hot flushes & sleep)
✅️Seeds- especially flax are super foods for improving hormone balancing- they are also rich in lignans that positively affect PMS & menopausal challenges.
✅️Root vegetables like sweet potatoes, garlic, carrots & beets. These support your progesterone levels.
✅️Meat- In small measures- for your amino acids- however ensure you can get meat from grass fed animals!

NB: Low estrogen levels lead to low seratonin- low levels in seratonin affects your mood, digestion, sleep & even s-xual desire! These functions further affect how you look & feel🥰
