Last week my family headed out to the park for a picnic. My husband and I packed sweet potatoes, vegan cheese and ham for our daughter Olivia. She ran around the grass at full speed for a solid 30 minutes, only stopping at the picnic blanket for a quick bite and sip of water. She gave the trees more hugs than I could keep track of and chased Dan to the lake and back. After she finished lunch, we headed over to the playground so she could play on the swing and slide. The playground is one of our go-to activities. The park was packed with families enjoying this glimpse of fall weather. Olivia was having the best time when all of a sudden a new family entered the playground.

The kids from the family ran onto the train with two dripping, soft serve ice cream cones. And when I say dripping, I mean the ice cream was leaving a path behind the kids as they walked around. To make matters worse, the kids dropped their cones on the playscape and rather than cleaning them up and putting them in the garbage, their mom kicked the cones to the side and left them there on the ground.

We are already cautious at the park and wipe down surfaces when we need to. But seeing the actual food that could killOlivia all over the equipment meant it was time for us to head out. So we abruptly packed Olivia up, ignoring her requests for one more time on the slide, and we walked to the car.

I am one mama bear when it comes to my baby and food allergies. I couldnt let this go! Not because the other family was in trouble but because maybe that parent just didnt know! Maybe the other mom didnt realize her child smearing the ice cream everywhere had repercussions on other people. So I strapped Olivia into her car seat to hang out with her daddy and headed back to the playscape to talk with the parents. I was so nervous Im usually not comfortable with confrontation. But to be honest, not one ounce of me believed this type of conversation could escalate. I assumed this mom just didnt know. Before I had a child with food allergies, I certainly didnt realize the magnitude or how serious they were. My mission now is to spread awareness and I figured, lets start with this mama! Boy was I wrong.

I walked up to the mom and said, Hi, did your kids bring those ice creams onto the playscape?

Yes. she responded.

Oh, OK! I said with a smile. I was wondering if you wouldnt mind just grabbing the cones and throwing them in the garbage. My daughter has life-threatening food allergies, and foods like ice cream containing dairy are very dangerous for her and other children using the playscape.

The birds will get it, she responded.

Imagine saying the word what thats what my face looked like.

Oh yeah, well we unfortunately had to leave the playscape because the ice cream went all over the train and walkways, I told her.

Thats not my problem, and its not my kids problem, she said to my surprise.

Now my heart was pumping. I responded, If my daughter were to touch that ice cream, and it got anywhere near her face, it could kill her. She could die. One in 13 kids have life-threatening food allergies. Not just my daughter.

Related: Stop Making Fun of Food Allergies

Listen, if your daughter cant safely play at the park then you should just keep her home. Carry her around the playground, I dont care. Its not my problem she has so many issues. Its just food.

She yelled this at me in front of a dozen other parents at the park. Everyone stared at us.

At this point, I smiled at her, turned and walked away. When I went to talk to this mom, my only goal was to hopefully get her to clean up the ice cream and explain to her why. Unfortunately, she did not take it that way. She got defensive and mean. Sadly, this sort of reaction centered around food allergies is something Ive read all too much about.

Under her breath as she walked away, the mom said, Ill put the ice cream into the garbage.

I replied, Thats all I ask.

Did this encounter go as I hoped? No. But at the end of the day, the mom decided to do the right thing and pick up after her kids. Im proud of myself for standing up for my daughter and others like her. In this case, it paid off.

The Time I Confronted Another Mom to Protect My Child - Yahoo Lifestyle

The Better Business Bureau is alerting consumers to be critical of mail congratulating them onpregnanciesand providing various gift cards and coupons to motherhood websites after connecting the letters signed Jenny B to a company calledMothers Lounge.

Thousands of women across America and Canada have reported receiving the seemingly handwritten cards which offer congratulations on expecting a baby.

Im so excited for you. I hope you like these, the cards all read, with a signature from someone named Jenny B. But many of the recipients of the notes have taken to social media to share that they dont know who Jenny B is, and arent even pregnant.

Kadie Humphreys, a 26-year-old mother-of-two from Florida, is one of the latest recipients of the letter after receiving it on Saturday. She tells Yahoo Lifestyle that since shes not expecting, she figured it might have been sent to her by mistake and took toTwitterto clarify.

There is a community called mom twitter where I assumed other moms may have received the same mailing, maybe one of them sent to me, or maybe they wanted the coupons, Humphreys writes via Twitter direct message. Nobody I know has received it but some people replied to my tweet saying they saw an article posted on Facebook.

According to theBBBs alert, it has been notified of identical letters and gift cards that it warns are being sent out from a Utah-based company, Mothers Lounge LLC., owned by a woman named Jeanette Pierce, who is likely Jenny B.

To date, BBB serving Northern Nevada and Utah has found fifteen affiliate businesses, including Thoughtful Gift Cards and Canopy Couture. These gift cards are sent all over the U.S. and Canada in an envelope which appears to have lost its return label when it never had one in the first place, the BBB alert reads. This is likely a marketing tactic meant to make the envelope look more like mail from a friend.

Consumers have even complained that the $245 worth of gift cards provided in the mailing seem to only increase the shipping cost on orders that theyve attempted to complete on any of the affiliate sites, nearly to the same price as the card itself. The many complaints which date back to February 2019 have led the BBB to give the Mothers Lounge anF ratingand even reach out to the company with concerns about their advertising practices.

On March 7th, we reviewed their advertising practices and reached out to them, Britta Clark, Director of Communications at the BBB Serving Northern Nevada and Utah, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. Even though we have not yet heard back from Mother's Lounge regarding BBB's concerns with their mailed advertising, we still hope the business will resolve the issue and answer the people that have complained about their marketing strategies.

Scott Anderson of the Mothers Lounge marketing team sent the following statement to Yahoo Lifestyle:

We are a proud Utah company that has been in operation since 2005. Millions of families in the US have ordered from our brands throughout the years. Mothers Lounge has mailed a heartfelt note which includes gift cards with proof of activation, and coupons to new mothers. The qualified recipients for this mailer have, at one point, subscribed to an opt-in list for maternity deals and coupons through a third party marketing company. All information from third party companies is only used internally for Mothers Lounge and is not sold or used for anything else other than the direct marketing of Mothers Lounge. We are very grateful for all our customers! Thank you for your continued support!

And although Anderson explained that qualified recipients had opted-in for maternity deals through a third party company at one point, Humphreys explains why the marketing tactic is insensitive.

Even though I found it a bit funny, Im fortunate to not have suffered infant loss or miscarriage. It wouldnt be the same response if so, Humphreys writes. I feel for those who may have opened it and had a possibly heartbreaking reaction.

Who is Jenny B? Letters mailed to unsuspecting women are raising concerns - Yahoo Food

Patrick J. Kennedy is emphasizing a need for more attention to mental health in the wake of Saoirse Kennedy Hills death.

Nearly three months after his cousin, who spoke candidly about her battle with depression, died from an apparent overdose, Patrick, 52, appeared on Mondays episode of The Dr. Oz Show,where he urged for a comprehensive plan to address the nation-wide mental health crisis.

The former Rhode Island Congressman made the demand as he was discussing the emotionally-raw essay Saoirse wrote for her high schools student newspaper, where the then 19-year-old candidly described her own mental health struggles, including her time in a treatment facility after a suicide attempt.

She was speaking to her friends in high school, Patrick told Dr. Oz of the importance of Saoirses essay. Were seeing a giant leap in the number of suicide attempts and rates of depression and anxiety amongst kids and amongst college-age, young people.

So this is not a crisis thats going to go away simply after Purdue Pharma stopped selling oxycodone, he continued. We have an underlying disease of addiction and we have an underlying mental health crisis in this country that we need to address and its not as simple as cutting off the supply of Pharma, it has to be more comprehensive than that.

One of the ways that Patrick felt progress could be made was through an idea called check-up from the neck-up, which calls on the nations doctors to consider other hereditary illnesses during their annual examinations.

When you go to your physicians office and they take a family history of whether youve had stroke or cancer in the family, they ought to take a family history of whether you have alcoholism, or addiction, or mental illness in your family, Patrick explained.

Because the chances are, youre going to be at high risk yourself if any other family members also suffer from one of those illnesses, he added.

Saoirse, 22, was found dead on Aug. 1 at her grandmother Ethel Kennedys home in Hyannis Port after an apparent overdose. Her cause and manner of death are still pending the toxicology report, according to the Cape and Islands District Attorneys Office.

In a statement to PEOPLE, the famous political family confirmed the news of Saoirses untimely death.

Our hearts are shattered by the loss of our beloved Saoirse. Her life was filled with hope, promise, and love, the family said. She cared deeply about friends and family, especially her mother Courtney, her father Paul, her stepmother Stephanie, and her grandmother Ethel.

Shortly after the tragedy, Patrick, who is the son of Ted Kennedy, posted a photo of his younger cousin and wrote on Twitter, Saoirse will always remain in our hearts. She is loved and will be deeply missed.

He followed up his tweet by sharing a link to Saoirses essay and encouraging his followers to read her words, while also urging for the nationwide stigma about mental health to end.

Saoirses sincere account of her depression is a powerful reminder of how so many people suffer alone and feel isolated, he wrote. I am proud Saoirse was able to be open and tell her story. I encourage everyone to read her words.

Feel what she felt. Do whatever you can from your position in life to stop the isolation, the stigma, and the devastating lack of acknowledgment that often leads to tragedy,he continued.

Families across the nation, including ours, are suffering, Patrick finished. We must come out of the shadows.

Saoirse Kennedy Hill | Saoirse Kennedy

Later that day, Patrick spoke out on NBC Nightly News and praised Saoirse as a hero for being open about her struggles, continuing to push the conversation forward, and getting professional help when she needed it.

She opened the door for her peers to also come out and not feel shamed by this illness and she is a real hero in my family, Patrick told the outlet. She broke the silence.

And we mourn her loss but her memory will live on as someone who wasnt going to keep silent and wasnt going to be feeling as if she had something shameful, but rather something medical that she sought treatment for, he continued.

This affects every single family in America, Patrick added. Its way past time that we deal with this in a way that we would deal with any other public health crisis.

Patrick Kennedy Urges for Plan to Address the Mental Health Crisis in Wake of Cousin Saoirse's Death - Yahoo Lifestyle

Jose Luis Pelaez Inc The term "weight loss clinic" can mean almost anything. Here's what obesity experts say to look for to lose weight safely, and avoid getting scammed.

Losing weight is easy for no one, and there is zero shame in deciding you need help.

The problem is, between commercial plans, storefront medi-spas, fad diets, wellness influencers hawking unproven supplements, and other kinds of get-thin-quick schemes (some with doctors associated with them), its hard to know where to begin.

And for a country as populous as ourswith more than 70% of U.S. adults considered overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionthere are relatively few stand-alone, one-stop shopping clinics that allow you to get the multi-disciplinary approach to healthy weight loss that works the best, says Rehka Kumar, M.D., medical director of the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM) and an assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City.

Why do you want a team? Because carrying too much body weight can lead to or worsen other health issues, so depending on your complicating factors, your pit crew might include a cardiologist, a gastroenterologist, a nutritionist, an exercise physiologist and a behavioral therapist, she says. If we are all working on different things related to a patients weight together, thats a more comprehensive approach, says Dr. Kumar, who is also an endocrinologist at the Comprehensive Weight Control Center, part of Weill Cornell Medicine.

Major universities like Cornell often have full-service weight loss programsBoston University, New York University, and UCLA are just a fewso a university-affiliated research hospital in the nearby city is a good place to start. Geisinger Weight Loss and Bariatric Surgery in Danville, Pa., was mentioned by a few of Preventions experts, as was The UT Center for Obesity Medicine and Metabolic Performance in Austin; The Vanderbilt Weight Loss Center in Nashville; The Emory Bariatric Center in Atlanta, and others. The Obesity Medicine Fellowship Council also has a list of universities around the country that offer fellowship programs, which indicates the institution has physicians experienced enough in treating obesity that they are training others.

But if you dont live close to one of those, you may need to piece it together on your own. Heres how to get started:

Your primary care physician is a great person to ask, says Dr. Kumar. Your doc may be certified already (there are currently around 3,000 diplomates in obesity medicine) or able to refer you to someone who is. You can also try the provider locator at the Obesity Medicine Association. This site will specifically mention doctors that are board-certified in obesity medicine, which means they passed an example and have some minimal competency in this field, she says.

Obesity Action, an advocacy group that raises awareness about and improves access to the prevention and treatment of obesity, also has a locator for screened providers, and includes input from ABOM and other professional organizations such as the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the Obesity Society, says James Zervios, the groups VP of marketing and communications. While only physicians can be board-certified, this listing features nurse practitioners, dietitians, and mental health pros as well.

If a certified doctor does not have a team in her practice, she will likely have other providers to refer you to, say, an endocrinologist or physical therapist if your weight has caused arthritis or if your hormones are out of balance. They can then communicate to make sure youre getting a personalized approach.

A good facility should sit you down for free in a low-pressure setting and explain their approach, says Craig Primack, M.D., ABOMs board president and co-founder of the Scottsdale Weight Loss Center in Scottsdale, Ariz.. That conversation should cover what kinds of diets they put together for patients, what sort of exercise counseling they offer, behavior modification (classes or individual nutritional counseling), and what medications they have seen success with. You should expect to be charged for a medical consultation, says Dr. Primack, but not to walk in the door. If you feel like youre being given a hard sales pitch, youre likely in the wrong place.

If you dont live near an academic center or a comprehensive facility, making an initial visit to one, and then doing your follow-up remotely with a doctor near you is an option. There are parts of the Midwest where you may not have people within 100 to 200 miles, says Dr. Kumar. Telemedicine uses computer and video technology to allow access to specialists when none are nearby.

Just because the sign says 'medical weight loss' doesnt mean theyre practicing medicine, says Dr. Primack. Dr. Kumar advises asking if what youre getting is an FDA-approved treatment or medication. Another sign of a reputable place: they accept and bill insurance. Some doctors, of course, are out of network, but insurance tends to cover therapies that are approved for the treatment of obesity.

Does the waiting room have furniture thats designed for bigger people? Is the staff sensitive and nonjudgmental? Is this a place where you feel safe talking about your body? You might have a very attractive weight loss clinic, but it might not actually be comfortable for patients of a certain size, says Dr. Kumar.

All weight loss facilities are for people who want to lose a weight, but theyre not all equipped to treat major obesity. Dr. Primack says some of his patients are there to lose a relatively little weight, and some a lot more. Do they have a scale that goes up to at least 600 pounds? he asks. And they should have the current technology to measure body fat composition, not a simple scale.

You want to know what the odds are youre going to benefit from a program, says Steve Heymsfield, M.D., president of the Obesity Society and a professor at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in New Orleans. Good programs offer real information. Thats not the same as promising a specific amount of weight loss, he emphasizes. Be wary of promises, like a guarantee to lose 30 pounds in a month, says Dr. Kumar. Not everyone responds the same way to treatment.

Even if youre doing well on your program, you want to be in regular touch with your doctors, says Dr. Primack. Are they continuing to monitor your body fat composition, and are they doing blood work to make sure what youre doing isnt harming you? he asks. Some of his patients come in every month or two, whereas some longer-term patients come in every six months. Obesity is not curedits treated, he says. Its better to know you have a place that you can go back to.

Chelsea Clinton thinks Jay-Zs reaction to Beyoncs post-pregnancy weight loss was underwhelming.

Clinton, 39, recalled being pregnant with her third child while watching Beyoncs Netflix documentary, Homecoming, with her husband, Marc Mezvinksy.

In the film, Beyonc is seen FaceTiming her rapper husband about how excited she is about fitting into a costume after giving birth to twins.

Clinton was less than pleased with Jay-Zs reaction. I said, Marc, if thats ever me, you better have more enthusiasm, she told The Cut in a recent interview. It wasnt the Im so proud of you. Thats amazing that I arguably think any woman deserves, particularly someone who has clearly worked herself body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit to get to that place.

Clinton added, Marc was like, Duly noted.

The former first daughter was sure that any woman would agree with her.

I was like, I bet every woman watching this has this sense of she deserves more enthusiasm,' she said. Marc was like, I got it. Can we go back to watching it, please? Weve talked about it three times in the last 90 seconds.

Clinton and Mezvinsky welcomed their third child, son Jasper, in July.

We are overflowing with love and gratitude and cant wait to introduce him to his big sister and brother, she tweeted at the time.

They also share 3-year-old son Aidan and 5-year-old daughter Charlotte.

A little sweat is good for the swole... err, soul!

At least, that's how Tim McGraw feels after whipping himself into shape and losing 40 pounds. Speaking to Men's Health, the 52-year-old country legend opened up about his weight-loss, body transformation and the person who kick-startedhis fitness journey with one comment.

"I don't really get tired of training," he told the publication about his intense 90-minute workout that he created himself. "There's such a feeling of accomplishment that comes from the feeling of being my age and still being at the top of my game."

He later shared, "This workout is my meditation. It frees things up in your head so you can get the trash out for a little while."

In fact, his exercise routine is not only good for his health, but he explained it's helped hisvocal chords. "I use my whole body to singmy legs, my butt. And having more control over those things makes my voice stronger."

Whenhe's finished withhis workoutwhich entails a yoga flow that he calls Infinity, squats that he's named Cheyennes and the sumo-stance squats that strengthen his legs are dubbed Beyoncshefeels more than accomplished.

McGraw's head is clear and free of the stress when he's done exercising, and he likes it that way. "This workout is my meditation," he explained. "It frees things up in your head so you can get the trash out for a little while."

However, when he wants to indulge in his favorite meal, he'll put in the "extra work" for it. "A cheeseburger is my all-time favorite," the country icon confessed. "Now I try to earn it, and I'll do a little extra work."

So what inspired the 52-year-old star's fitness journey? Well, it was his daughter Gracie McGraw who ignited the fire in him. According to Men's Health, Tim realized he'd lost control of his fitness when he starred in the 2008 dramedy, Four Christmases.

At the time, he was at 215 pounds, and his daughter noticed he looked "big on the screen."

"I got out of it for a while," he expressed. "I was in the prime of my career, and I wasn't capitalizing on it."He slowly began walking in the morning, then increased that to a 20-minute run and now he's at the point where he's designed his own workout routine!

For the country singer, he creditsfitness for "improving" almost everything in his life.

"Focusing on my physical health hasn't just made my body healthier, it's made me healthier at every level," he recently shared on Instagram. "Moving daily and exercising regularly was a pebble that set off a ripple effect, improving the way I eat, sleep, relate to others, and show up both personally and professionally. It made me a better person to be around."

All in all, the 52-year-old star is loving his health and lifestyle journey, so much so that herecently built awellness brand, TRUMAV.

Sean Spicer revealed President Trump called him Sunday just hours after the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and complimented him on losing weight on Dancing with the Stars.

After making it through to next weeks show while dressed as Frankenstein, the former White House press secretary told the New York Posts Page Six that the president has been watching him on the ABC talent show.

He said: I spoke to the president on Sunday, [and] he made it clear hes watching me. I doubt its in real time, but he knew all about my costumes and he noticed my weight loss he told me, Have you been slimming down?

When asked if the president would have been too busy to keep an eye on him on Dancing with the Stars, Spicer added: He can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Although its a long way from the White House to the ABC DIS, -0.80% shows dance floor in Hollywood, Spicer said he didnt feel out of the loop on al-Baghdadi: Im still active in the Navy! Through December 2016, before joining the Trump White House as press secretary, he was assigned to the Joint Chiefs of Staffs naval-reserve contingent.

Following the Halloween special, Spicer got to stay another week thanks to the public vote, while Karamo Brown from Queer Eye got sent home by the judges.

This one was hard, Spicer said, as he talked of his newfound friendship with Brown. This one hurt.

Though he said he had not watched the hit Netflix NFLX, -0.23% series before meeting Brown, he now plans to binge all of the show.

Hes a therapist, and we talked about some life issues thats his job, Spicer said.

Protein is the most important component of our body. It is present in every cell and is the building block of the bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Almost 20 percent of our body is made up of protein and so it is necessary to maintain the daily intake of protein for staying healthy. Protein intake is equally crucial when trying to lose weight and build muscle.

Protein takes a lot of time to break down and keeps you fuller for a longer period of time, which prevents you from having unhealthy food items when you are watching your weight. Eating the right balance of protein comprising of all 20 types of amino acids can help you build muscles and recover the body faster after exercise. But the most debatable topic of all is, which is better : Animal or plant-based protein?
