Vitamin D deficiency in US Brought to U.... http://successgain.us   and    http://successgain.info My memories Vitamin D deficiency in US Posted in 2017 At this time, 40-60% of the entire U.S. population is vitamin D deficient, including pregnant women. The reasons for this widespread deficiency are many, and to begin to unfold this issue you can start with understanding there is a very short list of foods that contain vitamin D. These foods are egg yolk, salmon and cod liver oil, however, most vitamin D is consumed through fortified foods like milk. For the 75% of the population that is lactose intolerant, fortified milk products are not a reliable source of vitamin D consumption. Additionally, many factors influence the body’s ability to make and absorb vitamin D. These factors include: where you live, the season, how much time you spend outdoors without sunscreen, skin pigmentation, age, obesity, pollution, and having healthy intestines with optimal...

Nutrients needed in your breast milk Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Nutrients needed in your breast milk Posted in 2012 Deficiency of Nutrients decreases Brain & body functioning of your Child Many pregnant and breast-feeding women are deficient in iodine and should take a daily supplement containing iodide, according to a leading group of pediatricians. Iodine, generally obtained from iodized salt, produces thyroid hormone, an essential component for normal brain development in the developing baby. But as consumption of processed foods has increased, so has iodine deficiency because the salt  in processed foods is not iodized, according to a policy statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics Currently, only about 15 percent of pregnant and breast-feeding women take supplements containing iodide, the researchers said. Supplemental iodine is usually in the form of potassium iodide...

Vitamin D required in your pregnancy Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Vitamin D required in your pregnancy Posted in 2012 Vitamin D:::In the late third trimester, the fetal skeleton enters a period of rapid growth that requires calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. An infant born six weeks prematurely has laid down only half the calcium into its bones as an infant carried to term.28 There is evidence that vitamin D plays a role in lung development, it probably plays a much larger role in fetal development in general due to vitamin D’s interaction with vitamin A. At birth, the infant’s blood level of vitamin D is closely correlated to that of the mother. Adequate levels of vitamin D protect the newborn from tetany, convulsions and heart failure. The rapid skeletal growth that occurs in late pregnancy taxes the vitamin D supply of the mother and her blood levels drop over the course of the third trime...

Semen Analysis Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Semen Analysis Posted in 2012 Semen analysis - check the sperm count, motility and morphology This is a very simple and important test and should be done early in the evaluation process. Sometimes the test should be done 2, or even 3 times to get an accurate reflection of the numbers and their variation over time. The most important parameters in a semen analysis are: Concentration (often called "count") - how many sperm are in each ml of semen? Motility - what percent of them are swimming forward? Morphology - what percent of them are normally shaped? Cutoff values for normal vary somewhat, depending on the lab and the interpreter. The World Health Organization's 5th edition of "normal semen analysis" values are shown below Semen Analysis Parameter Normal Values Volume 1.5 ml or more pH > or equal to 7.2 Sperm concentration 15,000,000/ml or mor...

Cause of Low sperm count ... Male infertility Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Cause of Low sperm count ... Male infertility Posted in 2012 Natural ways to increase sperm healthThere are many potential causes of low sperm count and male infertility, fortunately many of them we have control over by reducing exposure to them. Here is a list of the top culprits: EMF’s – Electromagnetic frequencies (EMF’s) have been shown through studies to lower sperm count due to the heating of the testicles from the EMF’s. Do not keep your cell phone in your pocket and do not place your laptop computer on your lap. Radio frequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) – A study performed in 2011 (Fert. Ster. 1/2012) showed that RF-EMWs emitted from devices connected to Wi-Fi (wireless internet) decrease sperm motility, while increasing sperm DNA fragmentation. Men should avoid using laptop computers running on a Wi-Fi co...

Anti sperm anti bodies ...Male infertility Brought to U... http://successgain.us    and    http://successgain.info My memories Anti sperm anti bodies ...Male infertility Posted in 2013 Anti-sperm Antibodies- Infertility in Male In some people semen can cause an immune response. This can happen in both men and women. Antibodies are triggered during the immune response that work to kill off the sperm. High numbers of sperm antibodies can make it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg, and/or fertilize the egg. Antisperm antibodies also may damage sperm that survive, which increa ses chances of miscarriage. A man’s body may create antisperm antibodies when the sperm come into contact with his immune system cells. This happens when the testicles are injured, after surgery (biopsy, vasectomy), or if the prostate gland has an infection. The testicles protect the sperm from immune cells, when they are damaged they may no longer be able to do that.Over 70...

Study of Iron on fertility Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Study of Iron on fertility Posted in 2011 The only problem is that the Nurses' Health Study is an observational study. No one told these women how much coffee to drink or whether to take iron pills; they made the decisions on their own and scientists observed the outcome. If women who take iron supplements also happen to have other traits that are linked to good health and fertility, one could mistakenly conclude that it's the iron supplements and not these other traits that affect fertility. Indeed, the scientists have found in this study that women with low iron or who did not take iron supplements also tend to weigh more, smoke more and exercise less -- all variables that can negatively affect a woman's ability to get pregnant. Researchers try to take these variables into account in their statistical analysis, but it is difficul...

Iron boost your fertility Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Iron boost your fertility Posted in 2011 You’re smart to be thinking about pumping up your iron levels while trying to conceive. As you’ve heard, there does seem to be a link between iron and fertility. In one study, researchers found that women who took iron supplements had a significantly lower risk of ovulatory infertility (an inability to produce healthy baby-making eggs) than those who didn't supplement. But before you rush out to buy iron supplements, here is what you need to know: Not all women need supplements (but they do need iron). Experts say more research is needed before they’d recommend iron supplements to  all  women as a fertility booster. But even if iron isn’t recommended as a fertility booster for you specifically, you’ll still want to beef up your iron stores the natural way before you get pregnant. I...

Solve male Infertility problems Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Solve male Infertility problems Posted in 2013 Infertility in men can be caused by different factors and is typically evaluated by a semen analysis. A specialist will evaluate the number of sperm (concentration), motility (movement), and morphology (shape). A slightly abnormal semen analysis does not mean that a man is necessarily infertile. Instead, a semen analysis helps determine if and how male factors are contributing to infertility. Conditions that can contribute to abnormal semen ana lyses include— Varicoceles, a condition in which the veins on a man’s testicles are large and cause them to overheat. The heat may affect the number or shape of the sperm. Medical conditions or exposures such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, trauma, infection, testicular failure, or treatment with chemotherapy or radiation. Unhealthy habits ...

Calcium and Vitamin D needed for you n your child Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Calcium and Vitamin D needed for you n your child Posted in 2012 Adequate calcium and vitamin D are deemed essential for the prevention of osteoporosis in general, including postmenopausal osteoporosis. Multiple studies of calcium supplementation in the elderly and postmenopausal women have found that high calcium intake may be of benefit for bone loss prevention, especially in the ankles, hips, and spine. Although calcium and vitamin D alone are not recommended as the sole treatment of osteoporosis,  they are necessary additions to pharmaceutical treatments. The vast majority of clinical trials investigating the efficacy of pharmaceutical treatments for osteoporosis have investigated these agents in combination with calcium and vitamin D. So, although calcium alone is unlikely to have an effect on the rate ...

Vitamin E required to have Healthy child Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Vitamin E required to have Healthy child Posted in 2013 Vitamin E:::Vitamin E was originally named “Fertility Factor X” in 1922 because rats could not reproduce without it. Two years later, researchers dubbed it “tocopherol” from the Greek τόκος (tokos), meaning “childbirth,” and φερειν (ferein), meaning “to bring forth.” Its precise role in rat fertility remains unclear and scientists have yet to conclusively demonstrate its essentiality to human reproduction. Mice lacking the gene for the protein that transports vitamin E across the placenta conceive offspring that die within 11 to 15 days. The nutritional transport system of the placenta is observably malformed by the ninth day. The human placenta makes the same protein, so the role of vitamin E in constructing the nutritional transport system of the human placenta is...

It is especially important for the development of the communication systems between the sense organs and the brain. Even mild vitamin A deficiency compromises the number of functional units called nephrons in the kidneys, which could predispose a person to poor kidney function later in life. Vitamin A is also necessary during fetal development and through adult life to maintain the presence of cells lining the lungs that are covered in hair-like projections called cilia.19 These hairs sweep away debris and foreign material, protecting the lungs from pollutants and infectious di...

Nutrients required to give birth to a healthy child Brought to U.... http://successgain.us       and      http://successgain.info My memories Nutrients required to give birth to a healthy child Posted in 2015 It’s always important to eat a balanced diet — and it’s even more important when you’re pregnant because what you eat is the main source of nutrients for your baby. However, many women don’t get enough iron, folate, calcium, vitamin D, or protein. So when you are pregnant, it is important for you to increase the amounts of foods you eat with these nutrients. Most women can meet their increased needs with a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), you should try to eat a variety of foods from these basic food groups. If you do, you are likely to get all the nutrients you need for a healthy pregnancy. Key Nutrie...
