Pregnant Women Do To Obesity!

BABIES born to women with the problem of obesity was higher risk of death, especially in the first week after birth, compared with infants born to women with normal weight. Therefore, prevention of obesity or weight gain is too high during pregnancy needs to be done.

By comparing the mortality rate of newborns in the United States with other developed countries, the research team stated, if the results of a study published in Epidemiology in January 2009 was confirmed, the prevention of obesity should be done to reduce infant mortality.

According to Dr Aimin Chen of the Faculty of Medicine, Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, told Reuters in New York, last weekend, some evidence suggests, a higher mortality rate in infants born to women with obesity.

To browse a more detailed, the researchers compared the medical records of 4265 newborns who died and 7293 infant survivors using data from the Maternal and Infant Health Survey National Year of 1988. Of the total number of babies who died, had a mother as much as 8.8 percent overweight, compared with 5.9 per cent in babies who survived.

Babies born to obese mothers had a higher risk of death in the first year of life, especially the first 28 days of birth, compared with infants born to normal-weight mothers.

The study also revealed the highest infant death cases in obese pregnant women who gained 0.45 pounds per week.

Infant mortality rate in obese women is also higher than the rate of infant mortality due to pregnancy complications, premature babies, or babies with low birth weight.

Unfortunately, they conducted studies based on data including the elderly, namely 1988. In fact, since 1988, the prevalence of obesity and the average weight gain during pregnancy has increased, while infant mortality rate is decreasing to 20 percent.

However, according to the researchers note, preterm birth-related infant mortality and low birth weight still have to watch out for.

Sex, Alcohol, Fat, Biggest Killer

Globally, there are five factors that affect health and life expectancy of people, namely malnutrition, unsafe sex, alcohol, poor sanitation and hygiene, as well as high blood pressure. Approximately 60 million deaths at younger ages around the world are caused by five factors.

When these five factors can be overcome, death at a young age is not only preventable, but life expectancy will increase to five years. This report was submitted by the World Health Organization (WHO).

If the malnutrition becomes a big problem in poor countries, obesity and overweight due to excess nutrients, a problem in most developed countries. According to WHO, more deaths are caused due to obesity than from malnutrition.

"The world faces a major problem and almost the same in various countries in terms of health," the WHO report Global Health Risk. There are 24 health risk factors mentioned in the report. If the problems were resolved, the quality of public health will increase.

"If the quality of healthcare rises, social welfare will also increase," noted WHO. The report also mentioned, there are some health issues associated with rich countries, such as smoking and obesity, it now also faced by poor countries and developing countries.

WHO noted that health risks are in transition now; life expectancies are rising because of success against infectious diseases, but at the same time new problems arise due to lack of physical activity, diet, alcohol consumption and smoking.

In general, this world health agencies rank the risk of death due to health factors, namely hypertension (13%), smoking (9%), high blood sugar (6%), lack of exercise (6%), and obese or overweight (5% ). These factors increase the risk of chronic illness and disease cause of death, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Poor countries are still grappling on the health problems caused by poverty, malnutrition, unsafe sex, lack of clean water and poor sanitation. At the same time, factors associated with diet, such as cholesterol, obesity, and high blood pressure, increases the risk of greater health problems.

Stress? Avoid the sweet and fatty

Stress is a burden that afflicts our body and makes the body react in an emergency. We know of two types of stress. The first is physical stress, such as getting hit, vehicle collisions, exhausting working muscles and others. While the other is mental stress or pressure due to psychosis.

Whatever form of stress, both of which will stimulate the adrenal gland, which is one endocrine gland located attached to the top of both kidneys. Upon stimulation of this stress, the adrenal glands will release various types of hormones. Each hormone will have a special effect on metabolism, which is experiencing a state of emergency due to the stress load.

The first group of hormones that react to the various hormones known as the hormone group kortikostreroid class. Ie, the hormones produced by the cortex (outer part) of the adrenal gland. The hormones that belong to this group is cortisol, hydro-cortisone, prednisone, and so on.

While the other is a group of hormones epinephrine produced by the medulla (the center) of the adrenal gland. Included in this group is epinephrine.

On stress, in addition to an increase in the hormones of the adrenal glands, also an increase in the production of glucagon. That is a hormone produced by the alpha cells of pancreatic gland, which works to increase blood sugar levels.

Overcome Stress
Efforts to cope with stress is not easy, but try as much as possible to eliminate the cause. Or at least, can find a way out, so even though the root causes of stress is still there, but the negative impacts can be reduced. For example, by asking the help of a psychiatrist or a psychologist.

When the stress we face, including the first group, namely the stress that causes the reaction to hormones corticosteroids group, then the increase in appetite that occurs must be balanced with efforts to enforce proper eating habits.

Avoid the chance to eat if possible. Choose foods that are not too sweet, sugary and or made of refined flour, such as cakes and the like.

One type of food that should be avoided are foods made from flour made the dough, then fried or cooked with coconut milk as martabak, donuts, combro, risoles and so on. Avoid fried foods in general or any fatty foods / cooked with coconut milk.

Expand eat boiled vegetables, and fresh fruits. If 'forced' to party or eat in restaurants, wear antidote fat absorption. There is no downside if you ask the help of a physician nutrition specialist. Good luck.

Fatty Makin, Makin It's hard not Stop Eating

Did you know, our bodies have a natural mechanism that would give the signal when to stop eating? When the digestive organs to detect fat or protein, they will release a hormone called cholecystokinin (CCK), which informs the brain that enough food diasup.

Research on mice in the laboratory showed that high-fat foods can cause your body does not heed the hormone "stop eating" is. The result was to be expected, we're overeating.

In a recent study, scientists observed two groups of mice for 20 days. One group was given high-fat foods and the rest are low in fat. Each day, for three hours they were given a fatty meal or preferably about these mice.

Mice from the high-fat diet group were eating 40 percent more than low-fat group. In the second study, researchers injected the hormone CCK in all groups of mice and for an hour to put food in front of them.

Because CCK make the stomach feel full, mice on low-fat group ate less than usual. Interestingly, mice of high-fat group tended not affected by CCK and still eat as usual.

Previous human studies also showed similar results. For example, a study in 2003 which was published in the American Journal of Physiology. A group of men were given high-fat diet for two weeks, then two weeks later were given a diet low in fat. At the end of the study, each received an infusion of fat directly in the gastrointestinal tract.

This triggers the release of CCK infusion so that the participants feel full. However, the effect of CCK is only visible when participants perform low-fat diet. When CCK injections performed at week high-fat diet, the participants claimed to feel more hungry than usual.

Experts say this is because their bodies are less sensitive to the effects of CCK when they eat fatty foods. Therefore, if you want to control diet, consumption of fatty foods little.
