Omega-3 grūtniecības laikā

Rūpes par bērnu sākas brīdī, kad uzzini, ka esi gaidībās, tāpēc nav brīnums, ka vairāk kā jebkad pievērs uzmanību savam uzturam. Tavs uzturs ir arī bērniņa uzturs, tāpēc ir īpaši būtiski šajā dzīves periodā ievērot pilnvērtīgu un daudzveidīgu diētu, kas satur vērtīgus un drošus Omega-3 avotus.

Omega-3 – smadzenēm un acīm

EFSA (Eiropas Pārtikas nekaitīguma iestāde) rekomendē grūtniecēm dienā uzņemt 200 miligramus DHS taukskābes. Tās ir sastopamas treknās zivīs kā lasis, forele, siļķe, makrele un sardīnes.

Dažus produktus, kas ir bagātīgi ar Omega-3 taukskābēm grūtniecības laikā neiesaka, piemēram, kūpinātu lasi un jēlu tunci. Tas tāpēc, ka šajos produktos var būt sastopamas listērijas baktērijas, kas var kaitēt Tavam nedzimušajam mazulim. Listrērija vairojas ēdienā, kas nav karsēts. Tāpat grūtniecības laikā vajadzētu izvairīties no aknu pastētes, tā kā tajās var būt sastopami bīstami toksīni.

Omega-3 taukskābes ir nozīmīgas tāpēc, ka tās piedalās augļa smadzeņu un redzes attīstībā. Grūtniecības 40 nedēļās notiek daudzi mazuļa attīstības procesi un tos būtiski ietekmē izvēles, ko Tu izdari šajā laikā. Tāpat arī pēc bērniņa piedzimšanas, krūts barošanas laikā ir nozīmīgi pievērst uzmanību savam uzturam, jo caur mātes pienu mazulis uzņem visas svarīgās uzturvielas.

Droša grūtniecība

Kad esi gaidībās, ir tik dabiski, ka vēlies tikai visu labāko savam mazulim. Līdzīgi kā citas topošās māmiņas, arī Tu, iespējams, pavadi daudzas stundas meklējot informāciju tiešsaistē. Tu vēlies pieņemt drošus lēmumus, kas ir balstīti pētījumos un stingrās pārbaudēs, nevis pērkot pirmo lietu, kas pagadās. Tas attiecas uz pilnīgi visu – sākot no bēbīšu video kameras līdz uztura bagātinātājiem.

Kad veic izvēlies Omega-3 produktus, atceries, ka ne visi ražotāji ievēro vienādi augstus standartus ražošanas procesā. Esi pārliecināta, ka izvēlies ražotāju ar augstiem kvalitātes kontroles standartiem visa ražošanas procesa laikā. Tikai paši labākie ir gana labi Tev un Tavam mazulim!

What is good health?

Body changes in later life call for changes in your diet

Do you have a good lifestyle?

Lifestyle simply means the way in which you live. Health and lifestyle go hand in hand. You might feel you have a good lifestyle if you are physically active, eat healthily and generally experience a sense of wellbeing. Conversely, if you want good health you should also have a good lifestyle.

Physical activity is the major contributor to a good lifestyle, but diet, drugs, stress, sleep and social conditions are also play an important role. Being able to use the body properly to avoid injury also affects lifestyle. Physical activity can also prevent depression and help you to recover more quickly from mental illness, both of which obviously affect your lifestyle.

How does the aging process affect your immune system?

Diet can be a difficult topic for many. Perhaps you eat too much or too little or maybe you find it hard to know what foods to combine to have a balanced diet. It’s also important to eat food that contains important vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, omega-3 and antioxidants. On top of all this, you also need to get enough energy, protein and the correct fatty acids. The requirement for these nutrients changes throughout your life. When you are older you also have different requirements than children and younger adults. Women also have different requirements than men. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers also have special requirements.

When you get older, you lose muscle mass and your body requires less energy and therefore less food. You may lead a less active life than you did before, which is why you require less food. However, your need for minerals, vitamins and other nutrients remains the same. Of course, there are plenty of healthy and active older people, but when you reach 70 to 80 years of age, it’s easier to become ill, especially during flu season.

Some steps you can take to improve your lifestyle and health are to:

eat a healthy and varied diet
stay active
watch your weight
avoid too much alcohol and don’t smoke
get enough sleep
think positive
practise good hygiene

What is good quality of life?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines quality of life as a state where the individual can realise their potential, cope with normal stressful situations, work in a rewarding and positive way, and be able to contribute to others and society.

Quality of life is a wide and somewhat diffuse concept that includes joy in, and a desire for, life. These are values that are rather felt than measured, which in turn are based on personal environment and choices. Quality of life doesn’t necessarily depend on being healthy or sick. It’s the moments between worries, sorrows, problems and ailments that matter. For example, if you have a chronic illness, a feeling of mastery can be important when talking about quality of life.

To sum up, quality of life is a combination of health, lifestyle, networks and social support. It’s about experiencing joy, meaning in life, satisfaction, security and a sense of belonging, as well as being able to use your strengths. It’s also about feeling interest in life, coping with everyday situations and a being committed to something or someone. If you have good quality of life, you will be able to cope better with the inevitable stressful situations in life.
