Pregnant women should keep their food intake during pregnancy because the nutrients consumed during pregnancy affects the condition of children born. Pregnant women who eat a lot of fat before and during pregnancy will give
birth to babies who are obese and have a little heart.
Previous research has shown that infants who received nutrient intake too much or too little in the uterus will have a profound and permanent change in its development.
These changes include changes in the structure of the brain, liver and pancreas. All of which increases vulnerability to the risk of various diseases in later life, including obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention
in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) launch nearly half of women of childbearing age in America are overweight or obese.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to inform women and health care providers about the dangers of mothers who eat too much to the development of health and chronic disease risk in the future of their child.
"One key finding here is that the offspring born to experience a shift in body composition, which is far from lean body mass and body mass were more likely to plump, even before the child gets the nutrition from food alone," says researcher Stephanie M. Krasnow, PhD, a scientist at Pape Pediatric Research Institute at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital Eurekalert quoted as saying on Tuesday (20/09/2011).
Krasnow and colleagues at the Daniel Marks Lab used mice to examine the consumption of foods rich in fat during pregnancy and its effect on newborns. Female rats fed low-fat diet rich in fat as well as for six months.
Mice who ate foods high in fat, gained weight and have higher amounts of fat than those eating low-fat foods When giving birth, mice with high fat intake gave birth to baby mice whose bodies contain more fat, less lean and his liver much smaller than babies born mice with mice that consume low-fat foods
