Eat eggs while pregnant to lower child's risk of illness

Pregnant women should eat more eggs and lean meat to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and mental health problems in adulthood. That's the advice of scientists at Cornell University (United States) came after a study has been published recently. Explain the reasoning behind the advice, the scientists said they discovered choline found in meat, eggs, beans, and broccoli have a really positive effect on the disease-related genetic factors as above.

To study the effects of choline to pregnant women, scientists monitor the change of the "epigenetic markers" (epigenetic marker), a chemical linked to our DNA and determine whether a gene is "turned on" (functional working properly) or "off" (do not work. "Process of scientists has selected a group of 26 pregnant women in the third trimester and divided into two groups. their first group for mothers choline 480mg / d (just surpassed dosage recommendations before). Meanwhile, in the second group, the amount of choline was given up to 930mg/ngay . Both small group of choline-supplemented through diet and herbal supplements.

After the study period, the researchers found that large doses of choline mothers, the number of epigenetic markers attached to the DNA increases, this leads to the effects on the genes that regulate the activity hormones in the body. Features are the genes that regulate the production of the hormone cortisol, the hormone can lead to the risk of metabolic disorders and chronic stress, has been changed in the direction of reducing the amount of cortisol in the blood of the baby down only 2/3 compared to before. That is why the risk of high blood pressure and other illnesses related to mental down at you when I eat a lot of eggs or lean meat.

Professor Eva Pressman, who led the study, said the mothers anxiety or and tend depression often will have high cortisol levels. Therefore, the use of choline as a preventive measure related to genetic diseases early in pregnancy is good for both mother and baby. She also hopes to one day prescription choline is common for pregnant women same as folate * today when the effects of choline has been widely confirmed. In addition, rates and features almost no side effects (doses as in this study) as well as factors that may help choline more popular in the near future.

Goose eggs during pregnancy smart baby?

Question:


I was five months pregnant. Many people advised me to buy goose eggs to eat because the baby will be smart. Do not know this true?

Answer:



Nutrition in pregnancy is best to have a balance between the components of protein, sugar, fats, vitamins, fiber and minerals. Goose eggs are a number of components such as protein, fat and some vitamins. However, due to too big goose egg, if you eat a goose egg that has no women and not to eat more of other substances such as sugar and fiber.
Eggs are also components such as protein, fat and vitamins, if pregnant women eat an egg can also eat other foods to meet all the nutritional components in the tower. Babies are smart or not depends on many factors such as maternal nutrition, genetics, was born full term or not, living environment as well as later education.
