Fish oil cuts risk of mental delay in early babies

admin — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:08:54 +0000

pstrongMOTHERS nursing premature babies can halve the risk that their child will have significant developmental problems if they take fish oil supplements to fortify their breast milk./strong/p
pA study involving hundreds of Australian babies from five hospitals nationwide has shown the frequency of mild mental delay in infants born a href=http://blog.homyhealth.net/ target=_blankweighing less/a than 1250 grams was cut by about 45per cent if their mothers took the#160;#160; omega-3 supplements./p
pThe biggest benefits were seen in girls, where the rate of mild mental delay was cut by more than 55 per cent, and significant delay by 83 per cent. /p
pOnly a small improvement was seen in premature male babies #8212; a gender difference the study’s authors could not readily explain. /p
pOmega-3 fatty acid, also known as docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, is essential for healthy brain and nervous system development. Babies born more than seven weeks’ premature are at high risk of developmental disorders and learning disabilities, as well as a href=http://blog.livehealthcom.net/ target=_blankphysical health problems/a. /p
pOne of the co-authors, neonatologist Andrew McPhee, of the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide, said more research was planned to test the quot;tantalisingquot; possibility higher doses of fish oil supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids might cut developmental problems still further, and also benefit boys. /p
pquot;The thing that excites us is the lowered incidence of significant and even mild developmental deficiencies,quot; Dr McPhee said. quot;On a population basis, there aren’t too many things that have done anything like that. /p
pquot;This is a simple nutritional strategy that increases something that babies may not be getting enough of.quot; /p
pHe said the study was of premature babies and there was no evidence to suggest women of full-term babies might benefit from taking the supplements. /p
pThe study, funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council, said uptake of DHA into developing brains was greatest in the last three months of pregnancy, and infants born prematurely instead had to rely on human milk or formulas that contained insufficient amounts of the nutrient. /p
pThe 614 infants in the study were randomly divided into two groups, with the mothers in one group given daily DHA supplements and the other group inactive soya oil, until the date the babies were due to have been born. Their development scores were taken 18 months later. /p
pAlthough there was no overall improvement in the average development score in the group whose mothers received DHA, girls alone did do better. /p
pThe findings were published yesterday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. /p
pNeonatologist Kei Lui, director of neonatal intensive care at the Royal Hospital for Women, Sydney, said the findings were promising. quot;The reduction in developmental delays is very important #8212; a lot of educational resources go into helping these children, so if you have fewer of those babies it makes a quite substantial difference,quot; Professor Lui said. /p
pPerveen Hassim-Borthwick, of the Sunshine Coast, gave birth to her daughter Eden 12 weeks early at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital last month. The baby weighed just 1.1kg. /p
pquot;It has been a worry, because they tend to have a lot of development issues,quot; she said. /p
pquot;Anything that would assist in that would be a comfort #8212; I would have been very willing to try something like (DHA supplements), if I was told it would help with Eden’s development.quot;/p

How Low Carb Diets Work

admin — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:10:04 +0000

pMany people are confused about how low carb diets work. It doesn’t make sense to them that you can eat more fat and protein than is traditionally called for and still lose weight./p
pA low carb diet plan greatly restricts the amount of carbohydrates you consume, as compared with a traditional North American diet, or even compared with a low fat diet. While our bodies would usually burn stored carbohydrates for energy, low carb eating forces the body to burn more stored fat instead. When this happens, your body produces chemicals called #8220;ketones#8221;. Ketones result when your kidneys convert fat to soluble waste. Getting your body to reach this point is one of the goals of a low carbohydrate diet./p
pThere is a scientific reason behind the development of this diet. Dr. Robert Atkins first introduced the concept of eating a low carbohydrate diet in the 1970s. He noticed that primitive people consumed a diet of mostly meat, vegetables and some fruit. Because this diet was in existence for thousands of years before the development of agriculture, Atkins concluded that the reason most people had difficulty losing weight and keeping it off is that we are eating contrary to the way our digestive system is set up. In other words, our bodies do not support eating wheat, barley and other grains and sugars./p
pIn the 1990s the diet seemed to be rediscovered and became known as the Atkins New Diet Revolution. Since the reemergence of the Atkins diet, other low carb diets have been developed that are variations of it. The Zone Diet, the Stillman Diet, the Hollywood Diet, the Ketogenic Diet and the South Beach Diet are all based on the idea of eating fewer carbohydrates. They all advise eating more protein and limited carbs and inducing the body to burn its own fat./p
pLow carb diet plans differ somewhat in the amount of carbohydrates they allow, but all advise cutting out all white or starchy foods. The most strict is the 20 gram per day carb limit of the initial stage of Atkins, plus some of the other diet plans. The 20 grams is generally derived from salads and non-starchy vegetables, plus the trace amounts of carbs in sauces, dressings and cheeses./p
pIn the first stages of a low carbohydrate diet, dieters are not allowed to have any milk, fruits, grains, cereals, pasta, breads or #8220;high glycemic index#8221; vegetables such as potatoes, peas, corn and carrots. The missing carbs are replaced with ample amounts of protein./p
pThis is a very low amount of carbohydrate when compared with the large amounts of pasta and grains advised by traditional low fat diet recommendations, so this diet has become quite controversial. Butter is also included, which is another reason for the controversy over low carbohydrate eating plans. The butter is recommended because fat slows down the absorption of carbohydrates into the body and helps to maintain an even blood sugar level./p
pThe whole idea behind Dr. Atkins original principal is that it we gain weight in our Western world because our blood sugar levels are allowed to go too high by eating too much high starch food. Control the carbohydrate levels and you control weight much more easily. Much research has shown this to be true. Of course opposing research has been done too, so the controversy continues to some extent, although it is generally acknowledged by all now that the high carb recommendations of the past were incorrect./p
pThe great difficulty of any severely restricted diet is that most people can end up regaining much of their lost weight because of difficulty adhering to the restrictions over the long-term. This can ultimately result in rebound weight gain and is the reason that the modified versions of Atkins diet have evolved./p
pThe Atkins diet itself though, does gradually increase the amount of carbohydrates you consume as you complete your weight loss, to avoid the extremes of losing then regaining weight. Is it right for you?/p

pstrongSpicy and sweet/strong/p
pPacheco was born in Mexico City and moved to California as a teenager. His Mexican roots come through in dishes that can be quite piquant — layered with heat and spice and sometimes surprising bursts of sweetness. One night, the soup du jour was a rich, dark puree of black beans with a pronounced chile kick, topped with tortilla strips and a drizzle of cilantro oil. Grilled Caesar salad is an appealing mix of long sections of charred romaine, creamy-spicy dressing and crunchy garlic crostoni. Pacheco’s signature sesame crusted salmon is nicely cooked, combining a crispy crust and moist, pink flesh. And a green curry beurre blanc makes a tasty accompaniment. But a strawberry red onion ragu, layered between the salmon and a scoop of sticky rice, is a rather jarring, pickled-sweet contrast.a href=http://food-drink-recipes-free.com/blog/img/782d7ef91fa1_11C40/img_002.jpgimg title=img_002 style=border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px height=145 alt=img_002 src=http://food-drink-recipes-free.com/blog/img/782d7ef91fa1_11C40/img_002_thumb.jpg width=209 align=left border=0 //a /p
