Poor maternal vitamin D linked to increased childhood obesity
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among pregnant ladies
has increased within the last 20 years. About 66 % of the pregnant ladies had
insufficient vitamin D in
the first trimester an essential period for organ development. Vitamin D
deficiency in pregnant ladies might pre-program babies to grow into obese
children and adults. Researchers found that 6-year-olds born to mothers with
terribly low vitamin D levels during their first trimester had larger waists --
about half an inch.
75 % of U.S.
teenagers and adults have little vitamin d in their system, according to a 2009
study. Deficiency in this sunshine vitamin has been connected to increased risk
of, cancer, heart disease, multiple sclerosis and type 1diabetes. A new-born’s
vitamin D status mostly depends on mother. Therefore infants are high at risk
of vitamin D deficiency if their mothers are vitamin D deficient or are close
to it .About 95 percent of the vitamin D made in our body comes from sunshine.
The remaining 5 percent comes from, fatty fish; eggs fish liver oil and
fortified foods such as, cheese, yoghourt and cereal, milk.
Obesity throughout pregnancy is linked to low vitamin d
levels. This negatively affects the health of the mother, and in the long run
it will increase the child's risk of overweight, weak bones, type-2 diabetes, and allergies. According to North-western University
Feinberg school of medicine says that, according to the study, there is a
relation between overweight and obesity in pregnant ladies and low vitamin D
levels in both the mothers and their new-born babies.
