Pregnancy and diet

Is your diet prior to being pregnant important?

Well researchers and health experts say that it is. As the diet which you were taking before you were pregnant, determines your usual diet plan. Depending on that, the health care professional can assess and recommend to you what is missing in your diet and what needs to be changed.

Did you ever stop to consider what you are eating, when you want to get pregnant? Or when you misses your periods, you just go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test kit and wait for it to show to bars?

Well, if you are thinking to do the above, you seriously need to consider your day to day diet plan when you plan for a child. However, Eighty-five million pregnancies, representing 40% of all pregnancies, were unintended in 2012. Of these 38% resulted in an unplanned birth1. So there is a high chance that your pregnancy falls in to this 40%.

Nevertheless, a good diet plan and a healthy life style won't do harm right? whether you have planned for a baby or not!

So lets fill the questionnaire below and see how good is your pre-pregnancy diet.

Smooth, slippery tissue called cartilage lets the ball and socket glide against each other when you move. A thin lining (synovium) tops the cartilage and makes a bit of synovial fluid, which further eases rubbing. Tendons, ligaments, and muscles complete the joint. Osteoarthritis It’s the “wear and tear” type of arthritis that many people get in middle age. Cartilage on the ball end of the thighbone and in the hip socket slowly breaks down and causes grinding between bones. You’ll have stiffness, and you might feel pain in your crotch and at the front of your thigh that radiates to your knee and behind. It’s often worse after a hard workout or when you don’t move for a while. Rheumatoid Arthritis With RA, your immune system attacks parts of your body, which can include the syn...

FDA: 5 Death Reports for Monster Energy Drink

The FDA is investigating reports of five deaths and a nonfatal heart attack in people who drank high- caffeine energy drinks made by the Monster Energy Company. Meanwhile, a Maryland couple has filed a wrongful death suit against the company, alleging that their product killed their 14-year-old daughter. They say Anais Fournier, 14, collapsed after drinking her second 24-ounce Monster Energy drink in two days. She died six days later. The reports are not proof that the drinks caused the deaths, but merely signal there might be a problem. Even if the deaths are determined to be caused by caffeine poisoning, the FDA will consider all sources of caffeine before blaming the deaths on the energy drink. In addition to caffeine, energy drinks contain other stimulants, including taurine and guarana , a caffeine-containing plant. Because energy drinks are sold as nutritional supplements, they are not regula...
