 4...  Why Do Pregnant Women Need Magnesium?
Your need for magnesium increases when you are pregnant. It is an essential mineral, performing different functions during pregnancy.
It plays the role of insulin and thereby is required to maintain healthy blood sugar levels in the body . It helps build healthy teeth and bones and works in partnership with calcium. It also regulates cholesterol and irregular heartbeat. The physical and emotional stress also increases the need for magnesium.
A severe deficiency of magnesium during pregnancy can lead to preeclampsia (high blood pressure and seizures), preterm labor, infant mortality, and congenital disabilities
5....   Why Is Magnesium Important During Pregnancy?
Other than the primary reasons mentioned above, there are more ways in which magnesium works for you and your baby.
  1. Works in conjunction with calcium: Both these minerals work great together. While magnesium induces relaxation to the muscles, calcium stimulates muscle contractions. The right levels of magnesium can also keep the uterus from contracting until 35 weeks of pregnancy.
  1. Lowers the risk of osteoporosis: Adequate levels of magnesium and calcium would help in reducing the chance of bone damage later in life .
  1. Reduces cramps: Cramping is very common during pregnancy. Magnesium reduces cramps, lessens the strength of Braxton Hicks contractions, and also treats constipation.
  1. Tranquilizing property: Magnesium is the best remedy for busting stress and insomnia, which are quite common during pregnancy. Doctors usually prescribe it as a separate supplement apart from the multivitamins.
  1. Aids delivery: This mineral optimizes the blood pressure levels and improves the pain tolerance threshold, making your delivery more comfortable.
  1. Curbs nausea: Magnesium can treat nausea, which is the most common sickness along with morning sickness.
  1. Treats headaches: Magnesium supplementation may lessen the incidence of migraine headaches during pregnancy. It helps in relaxing the constricted blood vessels in the brain, preventing the lactic acid buildup, which may otherwise cause tension and migraine pain.
  1. Lowers risk of cerebral palsy: According to a review published by one research at Australia, magnesium sulfate when given to mothers who are at risk of preterm labor helped in protecting their babies from cerebral palsy.

Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Posted in 2014 Pregnancy can pose serious challenges to sleeping well. Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight ...

Fiber deficiency during Pregnancy...4 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info   7...  Why do we need to eat fibre? It used to be called “roughage”, and people tried to get rid of it.  Now we have heard plenty about it, but why do we need fibre in our diet? Dietary fibre is actually a form of  carbohydrate that does not get digested by enzymes in our small intestine, and so its sugar units are not absorbed into the bloodstream.  Dietary fibre is therefore known as ‘non-glyceami"‘. However, fibre has important effects on other nutrients within the small intestine and through effects on the large intestine, where few other nutrients arrive intact.  It has a range of valuable health effects: Smooths out digestion and absorption of glucose and fats in the small intestine.  It reduces the Glycaemic index of a meal. Provides fuel for the healthful or  good ba...

Know about Spinal cord

Know about Spinal cord Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Know about Spinal cord Posted in 2015 The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine (spinal column). The spinal cord consists of nerves that carry incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body. It is also the center for reflexes, such as the knee jerk reflex  Like the brain, the spinal cord is covered by three layers of tissue (meninges). The spinal cord and meninges are contained in the spinal canal, which runs through the center of the spine. In most adults, the spine is composed of 26 individual back bones (vertebrae). Just as the skull protects the brain, vertebrae protect the spinal cord. The vertebrae are separated by disks made of cartilage, which act as cushions, reducing the forces generated by...
