Childhood Obesity-The Naked Truth Exposed-Pregnancy

        Isn’t it logical that when you are hungry you eat, but before you are hungry you normally plan how to get food. It should be the same with your health. When you just got pregnant, you will see a doctor, but before you have pregnancy complications when overweight, you should plan on how to be well and strong for yourself, along the baby before the due date.

        With all intent and purpose, I will try and handle the really heavy complicated and complex stuff of weight gain and pregnancy with the first and foremost shocking ailment is the danger of the child contracting epilepsy. Another disease is the chance of incurring infant's brain injury. It could also perpetuate further obesity in the baby. Surprisingly, there may be a general birth defects suffered by the new born baby. Finally there is high chance of attracting the disease called microsomal.

Let's look into the few disorders.

INFANT'S BRAIN INJURY

       Don’t be unduly worried when you read this. Believe me researchers speculated that being overweight or obese during pregnancy could lead to a higher risk of brain injury in infants, or that obesity-induced inflammation could affect neurodevelopment. 

EPILEPSY

       You may have your doubts but I do agree with the truth of Dr Neda's statement. "Just how much a child's risk of epilepsy is linked with how obese the mother was early in her pregnancy," Plus, it’s confirmed in the findings led by Neda Razaz of the Karolinska Institute.
Actually Epilepsy in a baby is a brain disorder whose causes remain poorly understood. The survey-based study did not delve into the causes of the apparently higher risk of epilepsy, which may include genetic and environmental factors.

MACROSOMIAL

       The obese mother in this pregnancy condition, the baby in the womb is larger than normal. This can increase the risk of the baby being injured during birth. For example, the baby’s shoulder can become stuck during delivery. Microsomal also increases the risk of caesarean delivery. 

PERPETUATE FURTHER OBESITY IN THE BABY

       The obese mother is bound to eat more which in turn gives more generously nutrients and is transmitted to the foetus. Being used to such constant and abundant feedings this would make the baby be dependent to more and frequent feedings.

BIRTH DEFECTS

       The babies born to obese women have an increased risk of having birth defects, such as heart defects and neural tube defects. Plus there may be the problems with diagnostic tests,having too much body fat can make it difficult to see certain problems with the baby’s anatomy on an ultrasound examination. To check the baby’s heart rate during labour also may be more difficult if you are obese.


       To conclude, when you do things differently, giving up those parts of your life that have been self-defeating for those which are self-affirming, your weight, your baby, and your life will change dramatically. You acquire self-discipline and strength. You gain a new perspective. You enjoy the positive results of accepting and liking yourself and your child. And you find new meaning to your life and hope for your future.

       You may have wanted to lose weight for a very long time, and you must admit that never before have you had a better opportunity doing it until your pregnancy.If you watch your weight every time, you will be a happier mother with a healthy child which leeds to a happier family.

HEALTHY HABITS TO AVOID BLOATING

   Avoid Grazing:    All the snack between meals has to go. Every time you eat you trigger a hormone called insulin. This insulin creates inflammation in your Colon which causes the swelling of your stomach. To avoid this, you eat only three meals a day and possibly make it two meals a day. Don’t eat snacks in between meals. If this is done the body will start eating your belly fat, once the food is digested after every meal. Insulin is like a switch and if you can control it you will not have any bloating at all. So, keep your fingers crossed and avoid grazing.    Avoid certain Veggies:    Broccoli are healthy and tasty too. But for some this will swell their stomach. Some get bloated when they eat cabbage. So, whichever vegetable blots you avoid it. Ultimately you don’t want to bloat. Though eating veggies is very healthy no doubt about that, different vegies work differently on different people. Find out the veggies that b...
