It increases the risk of pregnancy due to age

|

It, while the percentage of complications during pregnancy in general stable since 1993, the number of women with preexisting problems that can affect pregnancy, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, has increased.

The researchers suspected that the increase of these pre-existing problems due to obesity among women and the increase in the age of pregnant women. But it was not until a study by the CDC that it has been shown as certain specific complications have declined thanks to the technique, but at the same time traditional complications such as bleeding and hypertension have increased.

compared data from 2001-2005 from 1993-97 women, concluding that the risk of complications in general has remained at 28.6%, but they increased from 4.1% to 5% pre-existing problems. The high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, diabetes and asthma has increased among these women, and although the generic cause with accuracy is unknown, according to this study have a first pregnancy in older age and obesity would be the direct cause of hypertension.

Not all news is bad, because due to the increased risk of pregnancy has increased the number of Caesarean sections and consequent decreased lacerations by episectomías so painful for women during childbirth and so annoying treat then.

Monodietas harmful and without benefits

Monodietas harmful and without benefits

|

Monodietas online abound all kinds of monodietas, the diet of Brussels sprouts, puree of pumpkin, mate cocido, meat, bananas and yogurt, eggplants and oranges, light sausages, the beet, the egg, etc. all them have two characteristics to avoid if you are looking to lose weight: eat the same thing for days and how much you want it.

You may ask that they may have wrong apart from boredom and tired that produces daily eating the same menu during average at least 7 days. First thing, and what more or matters: you do not adelgazaréis. “ How is it possible?, but if they say that they can lose up to 3 kilos in a week!“. It has calm, if you adelgazaréis, but you eliminaréis not that fat as you wish, and that’s because it is almost impossible to lose fat in a week and without exercise (and without taking any supplement). our body is an efficient machine that has four main sources of energy:

1. Our 2 blood sugar. The glycogen (and a little fat) 3 liver. Fat distributed throughout the body 4. The proteins in our muscles

you are consumed in the order indicated, i.e. If we spend a day in fasting our bodies break of the reserves of the liver and begin to consume fat, once finished with the liver he would start also with proteins, etc.

With the ‘ monodietas ’ who must first is lost water, not only for the explicit recommendation of taking tea, but because hiperproteicas diets have that effect, as they cause acidosis, etc. all this will do work too to the kidneys, hence the recommendation ‘ not to follow more than X days ‘. Secondly you will lose the sugar in your blood (or sugar), which you can lead to dizziness and even faint you (because the brain is one of these bodies may not be fed of ‘ fat ’, need sugar).

Finally you will lose the glycogen from your liver (and also muscles) in an attempt to your body to keep blood sugar to not suffer a hypoglycemia, which will make that you see in the váscula as they drop those pounds. But no, not you will lose that as annoying abdominal fat, or orange peel (unless your level of dehydration is extreme) with these diets, you will lose water and sugar (glycogen are sugars accumulated in the liver). Our body recovers in contrast both water and sugar easily, therefore you sufriréis this rebound effect so feared.

The solution? a calorie, diet low in fat, rich in vitamins and fiber and above all and above all, varied. You tardaréis more, but it will be more effective.

Adolescent overweight cardiovascular problems in adults

Adolescent overweight cardiovascular problems in adults

|

A new study published in the magazine American Diabetes Adolescent suggests that adolescent overweight tend to accumulate more abdominal fat deep, one of the major risk factors for suffering a heart attack.

Swiss researchers found as 612 young people between 18 and 20 years whose body mass index (BMI) increased mostly in their teens had a tendency to accumulate more abdominal fat ‘ deep ’, also called ‘ hidden fat ’ being a fat that surrounds the abdominal organs and whose high amount is directly related to hypertension, diabetes type 2 and heart disease. These young people also used to have more abdominal fat subcutáne whose health hazards are minor, and which is more common among the population. so far have had linked in BMI changes during the end of childhood with a greater amount of subcutaneous fat in adulthood. According to Dr. Jenny M. Kindblom and colleagues at the University Hospital in Gothenburg preventing obesity during adolescence could help avoid the accumulation of the viscera abdominal fat and reduce the risk of suffering from heart problems. Especially changes in BMI at the age of 10 years, which could determine cardiovascular health in adulthood should be addressed.

Carnitine because does not lose weight (I)

Carnitine because does not lose weight (I)

|

Carnitine carnitine or L-carnitine has become a popular “ fat burner ” between both fans the fitness between people seeking to get rid of those love handles. And the blogosphere has helped in part to spread another myth, because while there are some that are beginning to qualify their real effects and indicate that without exercise is totally ineffective (as it would happen with any other supplement), they are very few who pull of scientific studies and telling the truth: carnitine is totally useless for weight loss.

But start from the beginning, which is the carnitine?

Carnitine is a compound derived from lysine and methionine (amino acids) found in the cells. To be precise, is located in the mitochondria, a species of small cells for thousands of years our cells had and that we would have a relationship of “ symbiosis ”. For us, the mitochondria will be the “ burner ” or “ furnace ” where the fat must be burned (or rusty). how it works?

Clarify that does not burn the “ fat ”, that is handled by a process called beta-oxidación and that occurs in the mitochondria. What carnitine is to transport the “ fat ”, because you need this transport? because the mitochondria have two membranes that the fat have to pass through to reach inside. This substance is transported the grease from the outer to the inner layer, but does not control its entry or its consumption, that are responsible for the “ goalkeeping ”.

The obvious conclusion would be to more carnitine, transported more fat. This is not true, because? because hardly may carry more fat if the “ goalie ” not let these come. These porters if you’re curious to know what are the CPT-I and CPT-II and so far, any mechanism that encourages the entry of more fat in mitochondria is not known, that is to say, the carnitinas can not carry more fat because the CPT-I and CPT-II will not allow that you among more fat.

Carnitine does that mean that supplementation is useless? the answer in the next post, but already slimming advancement that does not serve.

Birth of buttocks doubles likely to have autism

|

children of older mothers and whose children were born of born of buttocks bend the possibility of developing diseases of the spectrum of Autism researchers of. Studies confirm the thesis that much of autism has a genetic basis.

Dr. Deborah Bilder, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Utah School of medicine said:

“ A child that is born breech has double the risk of developing autism than other who was not born breech ” in women over 35 years the risk of having a child with autism is a 1.6 times higher and the children born of these women and buttocks 1.8 times higher. According to researchers from more than 30 women need not worry by these genetic factors, but if they can be useful to determine the cause of autism, because they suggest a clear potential genetic. there is no doubt that autism is related to the inheritance, according to the researchers “ are many families with autism, especially in Utah, where families are larger ”. Apart from the genetic cause are trying to determine also whether there is any cause environmental.

The principal investigator, Dr. Deborah Bilder

does not believe that women age or birth of buttocks is the cause of this autism “ the implication of this study reveals that there is a prenatal factor causing the birth of buttocks, and which in turn is related to the development of autism, as it could be a not equal neuromuscular development ”. East “ prenatal factor ” might imply a genetic or environmental development.

To Dr. Eugene r. Hershorin, clinical Pediatrics at the University of Miami associate profesore raised questions with regard to the conclusions reached to the study:

“ the problem with these findings is not knowing what to do with them, which is the cause and effect? if you are going to be autistic going to be born breech? or is born breech may have an influence when it comes to have autism? ”
