Pregnant does not recommend a lot to eat

Pregnant women prone to abuse unhealthy food from the category of fast-food, to convey to your child at risk of addiction to everything too fatty, sweet and salinity. Thus, at least, argue the scientists conducting relevant experiments on rats. Results of the study belie the notion that pregnant women can a lot to eat , as it “eats for two.”

True, yet not known whether similar effects observed in the body of rats, processes in the human body. However, a study has confirmed the results of examining lifestyles 190 thousand American families, published in 2005. The data indicated that weight at the age of 2-4 years old children suffer more often women who during pregnancy gained more weight than the Institute of Medicine recommends that the United States - namely, from 11.5 to 16 kg.

Neil Stiklend from the Royal Veterinary College in Britain and researchers under his leadership shared pregnant and lactating rats into two groups: one given a balanced diet, another type of food doughnuts, plyushek, cookies, chips and sweets. Then their offspring to choose foods offered himself to taste. Mother feeding products with high fat, sugar and salt, gave birth young, which are shown great cravings for the same unhealthy foods. These young were also prone to overeating and obesity.

“They eat more, with increasingly prefer unhealthy food. With the growing trend exacerbated by rats” - noted Stiklend.

“Women should not take it that during pregnancy and breast-feeding gives them a chance to treat themselves oily, sweet and salty foods on the erroneous grounds that they” eat for two “- warn the authors of the study in his article in the British Journal of Nutrition. Study funded by Wellcome Trust.

Professor Stiklend added that the programme on priucheniyu nutrition to children in elementary school, with all their importance, perhaps carried out too late. “I think the meaning of our study is that it is necessary to start early - even during pregnancy.”

Scientists have not studied the question of how changes in physiology progeny. However, Professor Stiklend expressed hypothesis that maternal nutrition unhealthy impact on the development of “pleasure centres” in the brain, which we feel a certain way satiety and respond to those or other chemicals. “The fruit used to the food with high fat, sugar and salt, and pleasure centers in the brain are configured in like this, so that after the birth of the fetus needs the same food - he said. - One might say that this drug abuse.”
