Obese Moms at Greater Risk for Heart Attack After Giving Birth
If you’re pregnant or if you plan on becoming pregnant, it may be wise to achieve a healthier body weight. According to a new study conducted by the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, obese mothers are more likely to have a stroke or heart attack during labor. Specifically, the study found that four or five years after childbirth, obese moms have double the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke in comparison to mothers of a normal body weight. All of the women involved in the study were approximately 30 years old. The researchers were careful to account for factors such as pregnancy complications and smoking habits when coming to their conclusions. According to a professor from the University of Southern California, around 1 in every 16,000 pregnant women will suffer from a heart attack during the actual pregnancy term.

Asthma Risk Increases with BPA Exposure in Kids
A new study by researchers at Columbia University suggests that children who are exposed to BPA, or bisphenol A, may be more likely to develop asthma. Children in the study who were exposed to relatively higher levels of BPA between the ages of 3 and 7 were at a higher risk for receiving an asthma diagnosis by age 12 as compared to children who were exposed to relatively lower levels of BPA during the same ages. BPA dangers have been well documented, and the substance has been linked to other childhood health problems including behavioral issues and obesity. The chemical is found in various types of food packaging, including certain metal cans and plastics. BPA is also found in some baby bottles, making the risk to very small children even more prevalent.

Daily Caloric Intake Dropping Among U.S. Children
A new report by the CDC, or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, indicates that kids in America are eating fewer calories each day than they were roughly 10 years ago. The study, which included children between the ages of 2 and 19, analyzed the average daily caloric intake for children – boys dropped from 2,258 in 1999 to 2,100 calories daily in 2010. Among girls, average daily caloric intake dropped from 1,831 to 1,755 over the same time period. The most drastic declines in caloric intake occurred among 12 to 19-year-old girls and 2 to 11-year-old boys. In theory, taking action as a parent and reducing a child’s caloric intake should be fairly easy. Simply making smart choices, especially with beverages and snacks, could play a big part in preventing obesity as your child grows. The CDC reported in 2012 that around 12% of children in the U.S. are obese.

Americans Eating Less Fast Food
Good news for waistlines, bad news for Ronald McDonald – Americans are eating less fast food than ever before, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and found that fast food made up about 11.3% of the average American’s caloric intake in years ranging from 2007 to 2010. Between 2003 and 2006, this same figure stood at 12.8%. When the findings were broken down by gender, men turned out to be bigger fast food eaters than women – but not by much. Men get about 11.8% of their calories from fast food chains, while women get about 10.9% of theirs from the same. Study researcher Cheryl D. Fryar of the National Center for Health Statistics said the decline is significant, but that more work remains.

The Sweetest Way to Get Your Kids to Eat Their Veggies
Many parents struggle with getting their children to eat vegetables. If you’re one of these parents, you’ve probably tried everything you can think of to get your kids to eat their veggies: holding dessert hostage, promising to buy them that hot new video game, threatening them with extra chores. But there may still be some effective methods you haven’t tried yet. For example, making a minor alteration to the veggies themselves may be exactly the trick you need in your arsenal. According to a recent study by the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Connecticut, just a light misting of sugar water could change vegetables from your child’s worst nightmare to a tasty treat she’ll actually look forward to eating. Researchers suggest that the tradeoff in sugar content might be worth it to instill a vegetable eating habit.
