World birth defects day ..March 3rd
Posted on 8th September 2016

Each year, NCBDDD partners with more than 120 organizations around the world to raise awareness of birth defects on March 3rd 
Together, we aim to raise awareness about the impact of birth defects, as well as increase opportunities for prevention of birth defects by promoting the following:
1..  Increasing the number of birth defects monitoring programs around the world
2... Improving existing birth defects monitoring programs
3... Improving access to care for people with birth defects
4..  Continuing research to identify causes of birth defects, particularly if they can be modified in order to prevent birth defects
CDC has created birth defects tracking and research systems in the United States and around the world that help to identify the causes and long-term results of some birth defects.
The World Health Organization declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on February 1, 2016 due to the association of Zika virus infection and microcephaly and other neurological disorders in babies born to mothers who were infected during pregnancy. CDC responded to the 2016 Zika virus outbreak by creating tracking and research systems to better understand birth defects that are linked to Zika virus infection. This information helps answer key questions about the chance of infection during pregnancy, provides information for clinical recommendations, and improves prevention.
Preventing some birth defects with folic acid: If a woman has enough folic acid, a B vitamin, in her body before and during pregnancy, it can help prevent major birth defects of the baby’s brain and spine, called neural tube defects. CDC recommends that women of reproductive age get 400 micrograms of folic acid each day to help prevent neural tube defects
Every year nearly 8 million babies around the world—6 percent of all births—are born with a serious birth defect.1 In many countries, birth defects are one of the leading causes of death in infants and young children.2 Babies who survive and live with these conditions are at an increased risk for long-term disabilities. In the spirit of global partnership, CDC and the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research (ICBDSR) are collaborating with 10 other organizations to implement World Birth Defects Day (World BD Day

Woman wants to get pregnant or pregnant should know the following::: The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s list  of Pharmaceutical Pregnancy Categories help doctors (and their patients) know the prenatal safety of medications. The categories are A, B, C, D, and X. Drugs within Category A have been found to be safe for use in pregnant women, whereas drugs within Category X have been found to be harmful to fetuses and should not be used by pregnant women.

Benefits of Minerals ..1 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us       and      http://successgain.info 2.... Major vs. Trace Minerals Minerals that are considered vital to good health, fitness, and mental well-being are divided into two primary groups: major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals are considered minerals that the body requires in relatively large amounts and include calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium, and sulfur. The human body requires major minerals in larger quantities and are considered macro-minerals. On the other hand, trace minerals are required by the human body in much lower quantities and are considered micro-minerals. Trace minerals include chromium, copper, iodine, fluorine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. In both cases, consuming an adequate level of both the major and trace minerals is required for good health and wellness. For a more detailed discus...

Mineral Deficiency ...4 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us       and      http://successgain.info 6...  Potassium deficiency Potassium is a mineral that functions as an electrolyte. It’s required for muscle contraction, proper heart function, and the transmission of nerve signals. It’s also needed by a few enzymes, including one that helps your body turn carbohydrates into energy. The best sources of potassium are fruits and vegetables. The most common cause of potassium deficiency is excessive fluid loss. Examples can include extended vomiting, kidney disease, or the use of certain medications such as diuretics. Symptoms of potassium deficiency include muscle cramping and weakness. Other symptoms show up as constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain caused by paralysis of the intestines. Severe potassium deficiency can cause paralysis of the muscles or irregular heart rhythms that may lead to death. 7... Zinc deficiency ...
