Tips to trend healty family fitness

For family fitness to work it has to be something every family member enjoys. It has to be a shared experience where you all grow together alongside each other. Something that leaves you all buzzing with excitement. Something you can all rave about over dinner.

Here’s something you need to understand. Train in martial arts as a family and you are all students side by side. For 90 minutes you are not Mum or Dad or Child or Sibling. You are a fellow student sweating it out with everyone else.

But for this to work…
Parents have to be prepared to swallow their pride. You have to leave your ego and pre-conceived ideas outside the door. And step in with an open mind, happy to be the fool and get it wrong as you learn.

For us we love letting go and not being the teacher. And for Leah she loves to see her parents struggling alongside her. I know she respects us enormously every time we get on the mat. Just as we respect her.

And although martial arts is a shared experience. It’s also an individual thing for each family member. It’s about what you can do with the body and mind you have. It’s not a competition. It’s a personal journey.

So if you’re an inflexible Dad, good kicks at a low height are good enough. Or if you’re a Mum who is that not physically strong, push-ups on your knees are fine. And if you’re one of those kids who takes a while to remember sequences of moves, don’t worry. A good teacher will understand.

We find we can help each other out with the bits we find easier. Neil is good at self-defense, I remember patterns and Leah has brilliant technique. We coach each other and we encourage each other. This mutual coaching is good for us and good for Leah. We find it strengthens our family bonds.

Another element of being a martial arts family we love is the social side. We’ve trained with some fantastic people over the years. We are mixing with healthy, fit people with a balanced outlook on life. Leah trains with great kids at the club, and of course this is fun for her, much more fun than being paired up with her Mum and Dad.

And when the going gets tough. When we lose at sparring or forget a pattern in competition, or can’t break a board. We are there for each other. Picking up the pieces and offering encouragement.

Get used too much sugar during pregnancy

We’ve long known that women with gestational diabetes put themselves and their babies at risk of several complications and lifelong problems, but a new study shows that women with glucose levels that are within the normal range, but on the high side, may also be at risk. About 4 percent of pregnant woman in the US—or 135,000—are diagnosed with gestational diabetes each year. The disorder allows excess glucose to cross the placenta, putting the baby at risk of being born too large (a risk for cesarean section), as well as for developing obesity and diabetes later in life. It can also increase a woman’s own risk of weight gain, diabetes, and cancer.

The new study, reported at last month’s meeting of the American Diabetes Association, tracked 25,000 pregnant women over seven years and found that the current threshold for “normal blood sugar” levels may be too high. When women had blood sugar values that were within the upper end of the normal range, there was an elevated risk of the problems I mentioned above that are typically associated with gestational diabetes. Stricter guidelines are clearly in order to lower risk to you and your baby.

I recommend that you err on the side of caution, and request a blood test for glucose, called HgA1C (also known as “glycosylated hemoglobin"), which provides an estimate of your average blood sugar. Typically, women are tested for blood sugar problems during the 28th week of their pregnancy—following a drink of an overly sweetened beverage called a glucose challenge. Don’t wait until 28 weeks, but request this inexpensive blood test when you’re having blood drawn for other prenatal tests—typically around the second prenatal visit. If the number is in the high end of the normal range or above normal, request a referral to a registered dietician so that you can learn ways of improving your diet to lower your risks to yourself and your baby.

Antidepressants and women pregnancy

Even before Tom Cruise provided his unsolicited “medical advice” to Brooke Shields on her depression during her pregnancy, the antidepressant-pregnancy debate has been a heated one dominated by emotion and opinion rather than science. This week, in The New England Journal of Medicine, two large studies provided reassuring evidence that some of the most popular antidepressants, called SSRI’s, do not pose a significant increase in the risk of birth defects. Although they did find an increase in a couple of malformations in patients who took Paxil, these were rare. Finally, these risks are limited to those taking antidepressants during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Yet despite the good news, the New York Times peppered their report with words of caution, and neglected to provide any information on the risks of not treating depression. The latest evidence shows that the risk of untreated depression is clearly greater than the risk of several of these SSRIs. Here’s why:

When a pregnant woman is depressed, her stress hormones surge, increasing her risk of preterm labor and gestational diabetes. What’s more, several stress hormones cross the placenta where they can increase your child’s risk of developing depression and anxiety as well as learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. These risks need to be weighed against the risk of treatment—and this point is chronically absent from the debate and most media reports.

The bottom line: I urge you to track mood changes during your pregnancy. Take preventive steps including getting regular daily exercise and prenatal yoga, and take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement (DHA) which has antidepressant effects (and is great for your baby’s brain). If depression is getting worse, talk to your healthcare provider about treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and the use of these safe antidepressants. The NEJM studies support my own recommendation that Zoloft (sertraline) has the best safety profile—probably because it does not cross the placenta as easily as the others.

New oral health during pregnancy an important issue

If there is one time in the life of a woman when it is absolutely essential to take the utmost care of overall health, it is during pregnancy. This is because it is not only the pregnant woman's health in question but also the health and development of the fetus, or the unborn baby in the womb. With all the hormonal changes going on in a woman's body during the time of pregnancy, it is absolutely important to take care, especially in case of diet and nutrition, weight gain, development and management of health conditions if any, and so on. Here are some of the aspects of pregnancy care one must not overlook.

At the time of pregnancy, health care is very important but often oral health is neglect. In order to develop completely, your baby needs all kinds of nutrients which are obtained through the Mother’s diet. Calcium is very important for proper growth and development of the Baby’s bones and teeth. Similarly, adequate amounts of vitamin D are also required to help in maximum calcium absorption during pregnancy. The expectant mother should not neglect the importance of brushing and flossing during the entire period to prevent bleeding and other oral complications. It should be noted here that oral problems such as swollen gums and cavities can have a negative effect on the digestive system and consequently the baby suffers.

Mouth UlcersSome women develop mouth ulcers as a reaction to strong medicines. These problems should also be controlled through proper oral care. Regularly use a mouth wash or a toothpaste rich in fluoride to prevent and cure these ulcers.After consuming starchy foods, milk or sweets and before going to bed thoroughly brush your teeth. Eat more and more dairy products and other calcium-rich foods such as cheese, yoghurt, green vegetables, almonds and eggnog. Regular dental check ups are also important to prevent serious problems and complications during pregnancy.

Drink a Lot of Water
It has been found through scientific studies that premature and abnormal births might be connected with some oral problems, particularly gum disease. It is advisable to start caring for your teeth even if you have no plans of becoming pregnant in the near future. Neglected oral care often has long-term effects on our overall health, including the health of the baby during pregnancy. Serious problems like gingivitis and periodontal disease may also occur during this period as a result of neglected oral hygiene. Drink lots of water to keep your mouth clean and rinsed at all times.
