Gaining Weight Between Your Pregnancies May Pose Risk

Gaining Weight May Put Your Baby At Risk
A new study reveals women who gain weight following their first pregnancy may experience more complications during subsequent pregnancies and deliveries.

The study, conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, suggests a relationship exists between pregnancy complications and inter-pregnancy weight gain.

Evidence is mounting supporting the notion that women should do everything they can to maintain a normal weight prior to pregnancies and to gain weight within the recommended weight ranges during their pregnancy. The study also suggests that women should follow a sensible diet and exercise program to lose pregnancy weight prior to conceiving another baby. Read more

BMI and Heart Disease Risk

For years now many believed the body-mass index (BMI) was a fair predictor of cardiovascular risk in people. A new study however, reveals this often used tool is NOT a good predictor of cardiovascular risk. Why? The BMI does not do a good job distinguishing between fat and muscle. Failure to do so may lead to inaccurate perceptions of one’s health and fitness level.

How BMI Is Calculated
Health providers calculate BMI by dividing a person’s weight (in kilograms) by height squared. Typically those with a BMI less than 25 are considered healthy, and those with a BMI over 25 are considered at risk for adverse health outcomes, obesity and more.

Morning After Pill or Plan B

On August 24th the federal government decided to let women age 18 and older buy the controversial “morning after pill” over-the-counter.

The reaction from women is mixed. Some feel the ruling is a benefit to women who are at risk for unwanted pregnancy and who may be too embarrassed to get contraception from a clinic. However, it also presents the opportunity for people to acquire (more easily) and potentially abuse the morning after pill. Read more

Gardasil, helps protect against HPV and Cervical Cancer

Boys and girls alike are just as much at risk for contracting HPV. Because of this, researchers are just now acknowledging the potential benefits of vaccinating boys and girls against HPV, even though previous recommendations focused on providing only women with HPV vaccines to protect against cervical cancer.

The new vaccine provided by Merck & Company, Gardasil, may be useful for protecting men and women alike against human papilloma virus. In June the U.S. FDA licensed a new vaccine targeting women between the ages of 9 and 26 at risk for human papillomavirus or HPV. The reasons for this include the increased risk of cervical cancer associated with exposure to HPV virus in women. Read more

Exercising Later In Life Can Reduce Heart Disease Risk

Are you one of those people that has trouble getting off the couch to exercise? A new study reveals even “sedentary slugs” can benefit from starting an exercise program later in life. Scientists conducting a study at the University of Ulm & Heidelberg, Germany found that former “couch potatoes,” or those who had little exercise history, can reduce their risk of heart disease by more than 50% in many cases by starting an exercise program later in life. These promising results proved true even for people starting an exercise program for the first time after age 40.

This groundbreaking study involved more than 300 patients with a history of coronary heart disease and more than 400 without between the ages of 40 and 68. The researchers also found that study participants remaining active after initiating a physical exercise program were less likely to be diagnosed with serious ailments including heart disease later in life.
