Exercise

The NHA emphasizes the importance of exercise as a part of at total healthful lifestyle.

A regular, well thought—out exercise program will help ensure that you maintain strength and flexibility throughout your life and, more importantly, will provide many lasting health benefits.

Since every individual is different, exercise programs should be tailored to meet individual needs. The cornerstone of most programs will be aerobic exercise, but some people may need to focus on other exercises, such as strength training, weight lifting or stretching.

Start with an activity that you enjoy. Walking, jogging, running, cycling, rowing, cross-country skiing, dancing, jumping rope and climbing stairs are all non-stop, rhythmic activities that you can do on a daily basis that will get your heart rate up and keep it there.

Natural Childbirth

The NHA believes that childbirth is a natural process and that in most cases medical intervention is unnecessary. Proper nutrition can reduce the complications that would necessitate medical intervention.

Key to a healthy birth is preparation. This includes the parents' lifestyle. Diet, exercise, and mental attitude play a crucial role in preparation for birth.

Natural birth classes such as Bradley Childbirth Education classes are also very useful and recommended.

The NHA encourages potential parents to carefully interview midwives and obstetricians before choosing who will attend the birth of their child.
