Can Not Get Those Nutrients in Pregnant Women With Food?
Is there anything important I need to know in pregnancy?
Yes, there’s something important: in the bedside table of all pregnant women should have a supplement with 200 micrograms (mcg) of iodine and 400 mcg of folic acid (vitamin B9). This prevents a large number of possible defects of the baby. Can not get those nutrients in pregnant women with food? It is very difficult to meet the needs of iodine diet and B9 in pregnancy, as well as up. And the risk is too high for health officials to be left in the hands of if we can juggle our diet. Iodized salt (we should all take) will help meet the needs of iodine, but will be insufficient. In addition, we should not abuse the salt. The vegetables will contribute to the intake B9, but probably will not be enough. So whether you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant as soon, do not hesitate: start today taking the supplement daily.
How much weight will add to?
Do you have to eat for 2 a pregnant? Have to eat, with few exceptions, depending on your appetite. Appetite (according to the Royal Academy is an “instinctive”) has made us survive over millions of years, so that no pregnant woman will forget to eat, and no one would forget to blink. Above the appetite to eat can lead also to obesity. And this leads to weight: how much weight you have to win? If you, like most women, had a normal weight before pregnancy, are advised to earn a minimum of 11.5 kg. But there are women who earn only 7 kg and another 18 kg, and both can have a healthy and regain their previous weight. You must remember, in any case, it is absolutely forbidden to restrict the calories you take. The “ketones” that are generated by making low-calorie diets, reach the fetus through the placenta and can harm their fragile nervous system.

Several previous Ahab mumps in burn patients undergo treatment with iodine consume Coral. Iodine interacts with a protein called thyroglobulin, and the aromatic ring of the protein was iodinisasi. Two of these molecules interact to form a unit iodinisasi thyroxine-binding proteins. Aromatic unit will crash and produce thyroid hormone thyroxine, which is very strong.
People and animals need mamalia young and thyroid hormones for normal growth and development. The lack of thyroid hormone during pregnancy to cause mental impairment and children’s intelligence. The lack of thyroid hormones at low levels in adults has been hypotiroidism, or call in goitre term, with symptoms such as sluggish motion, overweight and dry skin.
Iodine, which we are consuming food and beverages in the form of iodide ions, and the amount depends on iodine in the soil. Making soils with low iodine levels in many patients with mumps, and may be overcome by the consumption of salt was the iodinisasi Nai (iyodium 100 mg per gram of salt).
