Diets to Help with Hypothyroidism

Posted by admin | August 30th, 2010 in Hypothyroidism | No Comments »

People suffering from hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, can eat certain foods to help their condition. Certain foods contain minerals essential for proper thyroid functioning. A person with an underactive thyroid is not getting enough thyroid hormones to regulate the metabolism, and the body’s metabolic rate slows down.

This metabolic slow down is one of the most challenging hypothyroidism symptoms for many people. The thyroid gland needs iodine to produce the hormones needed to control the body’s metabolic rate. If you have hypothyroidism, your diet should include foods that are rich in iodine such as sushi, seaweed, and saltwater fish. In addition, be should make sure to use iodized salt instead of the trendy non-iodized salt available in stores today. Coconut oil has been touted as a stimulant for the production of thyroid hormone, increasing a persons metabolic rate.

Many people with hypothyroidism are overweight. The diet should be chosen carefully to be able to help your thyroid in producing the hormone and lose weight at the same time. While you can control your symptoms with the proper diet, it is best to discuss this plan with your doctor first, especially if you are taking synthetic hormones. Too many thyroid hormones in the bloodstream would lead to a condition called hyperthyroidism which is equally as problematic.

Feeding During Pregnancy

Posted by ina | August 28th, 2010 in During Pregnancy, Nutrition, pregnancy | No Comments »

NUT

Good nutrition
Feeding during pregnancy is especially important since good nutrition of the mother is one of the key components for success. Never forget that the baby is fed through you and what you eat determines what you get it, or do not receive.

The key is always in the variety and quantity, two little words that contain in themselves the real truth.

When we speak of variety we mean that you eat with the 5 basic groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, meats and eggs and dairy. The absence of any of these in your diet will result in the absence of any one (or several) of the essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. Even the concept of variety is applied within each food group, for example, the broader is our choice of fruit or vegetables, the safer we will receive all that nutrienes that this group brings us.

The concept of quantity is basically related to the rations that we ingest each food group. This concept is somehow related to the concept of variety: over-consumption of any of the groups can take the place it should occupy another food group. If for example my diet is too high in grains, probably one of the groups is hindered in quantity, so the range will be affected. It is important to take care not to consume any group or in excess or deficit because the balance of all foods provide the right balance in our diet.

Adolescent girls who become pregnant tend to face a series of social or psychological barriers that stand to good reproductive health. Pregnancy can be the time when an adolescent self-esteem has its lowest point. This may affect plans for the pregnancy.

As for young married women who become pregnant for the first time, addressing emotional concerns can help to promote reduced-risk pregnancy and happiest. When pregnancy occurs outside marriage or has not been planned, the emotional consequences can be serious. Often, unmarried pregnant teenager faces his dilemma without the support of his family, colleagues or friends. In some cultures, can be neglected or have difficulty getting adequate counseling for pregnancy or prenatal care.

Receiving support from others can be important, pregnant adolescents in its decisions were supported by a parent or other adult, and the few who did not consult their parents, were more satisfied with their decision to continue or discontinue pregnancy than adolescents who did not receive parental support.

Early Pregnancy

In teen pregnancies occur so often poor nutrition of girls, since there is an increase of needs in this age when they are still growing.

It is also an important factor that girls are fed in many cases somewhat arbitrarily and are not adjusted to real needs.

Often have mineral and vitamin deficits that affect not only the mother but the child she carries in her womb.

Infections during pregnancy, and especially urinary tract infection, occur in a greater number of pregnant adolescents.

They are also more frequent in this age of sexually transmitted infections, favored by the circumstances in which they develop their relationships often with a high risk of affecting the fetus and very serious consequences for this, even more than for the same mother.

Another result in the pregnant teenagers is bleeding during the third trimester of pregnancy due to premature detachment of the placenta. The risk of preterm labor and fetal death in utero thus increases considerably.

The cause should be sought in the hormonal adolescent immaturity and incomplete development in the uterus also at this age.

Adolescent Pregnancy Poverty1

But we also need to draw attention to the long-term consequences of adolescent pregnancy on the alternative roles of women and their economic status.

There is a strong association between early pregnancy in a generation and age at pregnancy of the next generation, because it is more likely that a woman who was an early mother is the daughter of a woman who was also a teenage mother. Therefore, if teen pregnancy is prevalent poverty and in turn has economic, social, intergenerational repetition of teenage pregnancy can be an intermediary mechanism in the intergenerational reproduction of poverty.

Self-esteem

Few studies have examined how social values and psychological impact on adolescents and their reproductive health, and even some policy makers may challenge public health if the notions of “self” and “self-confidence are important in developing countries. Yet feelings of insecurity, fear and self doubt can interfere with the proper behavior regarding reproductive health in any culture, FHI research scientist who specializes in adolescent health. If you do not have confidence in themselves, it is possible that young adults do not seek health services playback, or be able to say no to unwanted sex.

A Medical Risk

Pregnancy and childbirth from a woman younger than age 20 have a high risk since they are also various factors that increase the likelihood of complications, including women’s own age, low birth weight and prematurity of the child the child.

Being the first child is another risk factor. Whenever you are more likely to suffer fetal distress during the last stages of pregnancy and childbirth.
