Question 1

how much imitation crab meat in sushi is ok to eat while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Sushi &amp; pregnancy.: Sushi should be avoided during pregnancy for two reasons.  (1) risk of bacterial infection complicating the pregnancy.  (2) risk of exposure to mercury complicating the pregnancy.  Certainly not worth the risk during pregnancy.  Cooked sushi or vegetable-only sushi should be fine, but then we'd worry about the person making the sushi having washed his hands after handling raw fish.

Question 2

is it ok to eat seafood, specifically shrimp & crab meat, when one has a fever? on keflex for almost 48hrs. ate seafood &then shortly after vomited. i'm not allergic to seafood. not sure if the med is working or shouldn't eat seafood during a fever?

Accepted Answer

Basics: Your digestive system is often slowed during any illness. As such simplicity in your feeding choices can help-Avoiding fatty foods or challenging spices is prudent. I see no reason to exclude seafood for those who want to eat it.

Question 3

how much crab meat is too much during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it's been stud: I strongly doubt it's been studied scientifically, but like anything else (particularly during pregnancy) moderation is the key. Don't do anything that could endanger your fetus, because you only get one chance with no "do-overs". After delivery you can go hog (or crab meat) wild.

Question 6

Pork: Yes, i would not fry it or bread it.  The best ways would be baked, grilled or broiled.

Question 7

how often can you eat chargrilled/ bbq meat a week? i've eaten it for one meal last week and this week. i'm worried that this will effect my health?

Accepted Answer

No more than once.: You probably shouldn't eat food like that more than once weekly, and it would probably be better to even eat that no more than twice each month.  Very caloric, very fattening and potentially even carcinogenic in large amounts.  Can you grill chicken or fish?

Question 8

is dinced garlic good or bad for our health? i love to eat it alot, top it on my meat. the one i'm eating is dry.

Accepted Answer

Garlic: Garlic is EXCELLENT for our health!  It can help lower blood pressure (acts like an ACE inhibitor), help fight infections, and may help lower cholesterol.  Unfortunately, cooking garlic diminishes it's efficacy.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Optimal health: You can be very healthy.  Eat whole grains, quinoa, nuts, fruits, veggies, yogurt, beans, soy or tofu, eggs.  Drink a healthy beverage:  Fusion V8, Silk.  Have a bit of dairy.  Take control to balance and expand veggie and fruit and nut choices.  Take a multivit per day.  Centrum or equivalent is fine. Exercise some each day.  Rest at night.
