Early foetal development is the time when cardiovascular risk is first evident, leading to heart health issues later on in life, reveals Chemist Direct

Heart health issues can be detected in early foetal development

London (PRWEB UK) 28 February 2014

Human foetal development is the most dramatic and reaches the highest rates of growth during the first trimester of pregnancy. In the third week after gestation the embryo begins the basic growth and development of the brain, spinal cord, heart and gastrointestinal tract, followed in the next few weeks by the development of the limbs and sensorial organs.

Because of the critical vulnerability of the developing cells during this time, expecting mothers must ensure that adequate amounts of nutrition and vitamins such as folic acid are consumed in order to prevent defects in any of the organs.

Developmental adaptations in these organs are also determined by the mother’s exposure to harmful substances in the environment which may also cause increased risks of chronic disease in early childhood or adulthood. By actively being aware of important aspects of heart health, both of the mothers and the foetus, the instances of increased heart disease later on in life can be minimized, according to evidence in a new study published by the British Medical Journal. http://bit.ly/1aCcW7P

In this study nearly 2,000 children born in the Dutch city of Rotterdam were followed from the 10th to 13th week of gestation to the age of six to track the health markers for cardiovascular disease risk. The amassing of central body fat, instances of high blood pressure, high insulin levels and high cholesterol, all indicators of health issues later on in life, were more prevalent in those who showed a low birth rate and slower development as a foetus in the first trimester scan.

“These results suggest that the first trimester of pregnancy may be a critical period for development of offspring cardiovascular risk factors in later life,” said Prof Vincent Jaddoe, who led the study team from Erasmus University Medical School. “Therefore adverse maternal lifestyle habits influencing early foetal growth may have persistent consequences for their offspring, many decades later.” http://bit.ly/1fvnrFs

In another study published in The Cell, http://bit.ly/1fmi7q0 US researcher Professor Tamas Horvath, from Yale School of Medicine, and co-author Dr Jens Bruning, from the Max Planck Institute for Neurological Research in Germany found that the diet of expecting mothers also played a role in effecting the long-term metabolic health of their children through developmental changes in the foetus during the final third trimester.

Mothers who suffered obesity during pregnancy passed on genetic coding that changed the neurological wiring of the foetus, substantially increasing the risk of developing long-term disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and uncontrolled central body fat.

Although scientists now understand the direct link between the mothers nutritional intake and health risks to the developing foetus and cardiovascular defects, further study is needed to understand why this pattern exists and what it might mean for preventing heart disease and other chronic illnesses such as diabetes.

When pregnant or if planning a family, speak to your GP or midwife about precautions to take or how to minimise pollutants such as smoke, so that development continues smoothly without passing on heart risks or any other health issues.

Studies: Smoking and Poor Oral Hygiene Increases Risk of HPV Diseases; polyDNA Recommends Targeting Latent HPV with Gene-Eden-VIR

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) December 04, 2013

Men who smoke have an increased risk of developing human papillomavirus (HPV) related diseases (1). Researchers showed that poor oral hygiene was also associated with persistent oral HPV infection, according to a study published in September 2013 in the journal of Cancer Prevention Research (2).

“Researchers found that among the study participants, those who reported poor oral health had a 56 percent higher prevalence of oral HPV infection, and those who had gum disease and dental problems had a 51 percent and 28 percent higher prevalence of oral HPV infection, respectively. In addition, the researchers were able to associate oral HPV infections with number of teeth lost. Similar to genital HPV infection, oral HPV infection can be of two kinds: infection with low-risk HPV types that do not cause cancer, but can cause a variety of benign tumors or warts in the oral cavity, and infection with high-risk HPV types that can cause oropharyngeal cancers.” This is according to an article published on Sciencedaily.com on August 21, 2013 (3).

“Being male, smoking cigarettes, using marijuana, and oral sex habits increased the likelihood of oral HPV infection. They also found that self-rated overall (poor) oral health was an independent risk factor for oral HPV infection (3).”

Dr. Thanh Cong Bui said that “Poor oral health is a new independent risk factor for oral HPV infection… The good news is this risk factor is modifiable (that is, controlled) (3).”

polyDNA recommends that individuals stop smoking. In addition, individuals should ensure good oral hygiene by brushing teeth and flossing regularly. They should also visit the dentist periodically. Finally, individuals should take Gene-Eden-VIR, a natural HPV remedy clinically proven to reduce HPV symptoms.

“The thought of HPV warts growing in the mouth or throat should be enough to drive people to take action. No one wants oral warts, and no one wants to develop oral cancer.”– Mike Evans, polyDNA

A study published on August 12, 2013 in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs, showed that Gene-Eden-VIR reduced HPV symptoms. Study authors wrote that, “Individuals infected with the HPV…reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with Gene-Eden-VIR (4).” The study authors also wrote that, “We observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms (4).”

Aventura, FL (PRWEB) February 6, 2007

Buying vitamins is supposed to lead to better health – but a new study says just the opposite.

According to a new report by ConsumerLab.com, 11 out of 21 brands of vitamins tested did not meet quality standards – which means they contained too much or too little of a vitamin, could not be absorbed by the body or, worse, contained toxic ingredients such as lead.

“When it comes to vitamins, you get what you pay for,” says Simon Astor, D.O.M., founder of the Iluma Center for Health in Aventura, Florida, and a top expert on vitamin therapy and holistic medicine. “Vitamins aren’t regulated by the FDA, so it’s important for consumers to be very scrupulous. This means buying only from reputable brands, talking to a doctor or nutritionist and reading the label thoroughly before each purchase.”

Dr. Astor’s clinic provides a variety of vitamin therapies to its patients, and it relies solely on what is called “pharmaceutical-grade” vitamins. Although pharmaceutical-grade vitamins are often only available through doctors or health care providers, they are guaranteed to be free of contaminants, use safe levels of ingredients and are third-party verified.

But for consumers who plan to stick with store-bought vitamins and supplements, Dr. Astor offers these eight tips to buying safer pills:

1)    ”Choose a reputable brand”: It’s better to buy vitamins from a well-known brand than a cheaper unknown. Questions to consider are: How long has it been in business? Are its products widely available? Does it have a large product line?

2)    ”Standardized ingredients”: Check the label to make sure it cites “standardized” active ingredients (e.g., vitamins, enzymes or herbs), instead of just listing the whole amounts of vegetable or fruit products, which can vary in nutritional quality.

3)    ”Certification”: Are the vitamins certified to be of high quality? If so, the label will show a logo of “GMP certified” (Good Manufacturing Practice) or “ISO 9000,” an international standard of quality.

4)    ”Ask a doctor”: The best way to buy safe is to first check with a doctor, health care provider or nutritionist. They can help consumers find the vitamins – and brands – that are best for them.

5)     “Price is a clue”: Cheaper isn’t always better. The difference between a and a bottle isn’t just the price – it can also be the quality. If the price on the bottle seems too good to be true, it probably is – the company may have cut corners to produce it.

6)    ”Country of origin”: Is the vitamin manufactured in China, or the U.S.? Certain countries like China don’t require vitamin manufacturers to meet high standards. Before swallowing that pill, consumers should check where it was made.

7)    ”Expiration date”: Always check the expiration date before buying vitamins or supplements. If an expiration date isn’t shown, don’t buy it.

8)    ”Call the company”: If consumers have any questions or concerns, they should always call the company directly. Ask them to provide a “third party assay” – this verifies the vitamins’ quality. If a company can’t provide this, it may be unsafe to use.
