Essential fatty acids like DHA and GLA play important roles in pregnancy. DHA is important for fetal brain and eye development. Studies show that DHA supplementation in pregnancy increases birth weight and gestation duration, and may reduce the risk of preeclampsia. GLA supplementation may help prevent pregnancy-induced hypertension by increasing production of vasodilatory prostaglandins. International organizations recommend 300 mg of DHA and 150-300 mg of GLA daily during pregnancy.

Impact of DHA Source on Cognitive development of the baby and other micronutr...
This document summarizes the impact of different sources of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other micronutrients on cognitive development in babies. It finds that intake of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids is very low in Indian diets, especially for vegetarians, increasing risk of low birth weight. While fish is a good source of DHA, concerns about mercury contamination make algal sources of DHA a safer option. The document also reviews evidence that supplementation with DHA, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 during pregnancy can positively impact outcomes like risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and birth weight.

Letrozole ovulation induction
Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that is an effective alternative to clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction. It has several advantages over clomiphene citrate including oral administration, lower risk of multiple pregnancies and miscarriage, and no antiestrogenic effects on the endometrium or cervical mucus. Studies show letrozole results in higher ovulation and pregnancy rates compared to clomiphene citrate. When used as an adjuvant to gonadotropins, letrozole reduces gonadotropin dosage and improves outcomes. Letrozole may help improve IVF success rates in poor responders by enhancing follicular response to gonadotropins and lowering estrogen
Role of Magnesium in Pregnancy Dr Dipti Nabh Dr Sharda Jain Dr Jyoti Agarwa
Magnesium plays several significant roles in health and is often deficient even in healthy diets. It is essential for many enzymatic reactions, muscle and nerve function, blood pressure regulation, and more. Magnesium deficiency is underrecognized but common. During pregnancy, magnesium needs increase due to greater fetal requirements and maternal changes, but intake is often inadequate. Hypomagnesmia in pregnancy can increase risks of preterm birth, abortion, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes. Supplementing pregnant women with 150-450mg magnesium daily from early pregnancy through delivery can help support fetal development and reduce health risks.
Nutritional strategies to help manage PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder, thought to affect between 4%–8% of women of reproductive age. Due to a lack of awareness, and the dramatic variation in the signs and symptoms between individuals, a large number of women may have PCOS without being at all aware of it. Unless help is sought for common symptoms (including oily skin and recurring acne; irregular, infrequent or absent periods; excess facial and body hair growth; head hair loss or thinning; weight gain) a formal diagnosis may never be made and issues can persist unmanaged until menopause. PCOS is most commonly diagnosed in women hoping to become pregnant, but who experience fertility issues as a result of irregular ovulation or miscarriage. In this webinar, Dr Nina Bailey PhD outlines the key mechanisms in the pathophysiology of PCOS, the signs and symptoms that should trigger further investigation, and the key nutritional strategies that can be adopted to help women manage the condition.

Review article - Nutraceuticals and Functional foods in the management of art...DANIEL AYINE NYAABA, RD
This paper is a review of the evidence supporting the use of nutraceuticals and functional foods in the management of arthritis.Arthritis refers to different joint disease conditions. Arthritis is very prevalent. It is one of the most common chronic diseases and a main cause of disability and work limitations. Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are the most widespread and disabling form of joint chronic illness affecting mostly older people. There is no cure for arthritis and palliative care is used to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by these conditions. Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are mostly used by persons with arthritis to relief pain and discomfort associated with the disease. Most of these drugs however are associated with detrimental and undesirable side effects. This suggests the need for an alternative and reliable form of treatment; although the lack of cure reinforces the need for prevention.
Some nutraceuticals and functional foods have proven effective for managing and/or preventing arthritic complications. The common ones include Glucosamine and/or Chondroitin sulphate, Aflapin and 5-Loxin, S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAMe), Probiotics, Vitamins and Mineral supplements, some Plant and Animal Extracts, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) among others.

Enteral Nutrition and Role of Milk
The document discusses enteral nutrition and the role of milk. It notes that enteral nutrition maintains gastrointestinal integrity and function while reducing complications compared to parenteral nutrition. Milk is an important source of protein for enteral feeds. However, diarrhea is a common complication when using milk-based feeds, often due to issues with milk quality and handling. Using UHT milk can help address these issues by providing a safer, bacteria-free option that does not require boiling and has less risk of contamination. This allows for easier preparation and administration of enteral feeds containing the important nutrients in milk.
Enteral nutrition & Role of Milk
1. UHT milk processed through aseptic packaging can be safely used to prepare enteral feeds without the need for boiling or refrigeration. This processing eliminates bacteria and allows the milk to be stored unrefrigerated for months.
2. UHT milk retains most of its nutritional value with minimal vitamin degradation during high-temperature processing. It is free of preservatives and adulterants.
3. Using aseptically processed UHT milk for enteral feeds offers advantages over raw milk by reducing risks of infection and making feed preparation more convenient without compromising nutrition.
Weight Management
This document discusses weight management and obesity. It begins by explaining why weight is important for health, disease prevention, sports, appearance, and self-esteem. However, finding a balance between foods enjoyed and a desired appearance can be challenging. Many seek answers through dieting but diets often fail due to difficulty complying or regaining weight. Maintaining a healthy weight requires balancing calorie intake with expenditure. Fad diets and supplements are generally not effective long-term solutions for weight control. An individualized lifestyle approach focusing on healthy eating patterns and regular physical activity provides the best chance for sustainable weight management.
balanced diet
A balanced diet provides the right types and amounts of foods and drinks to maintain health. It includes major nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Proteins help build muscle and boost immunity. Carbohydrates provide energy while fats transport vitamins and insulate organs. Vitamins and minerals support various bodily functions. A balanced diet along with physical activity and supplements can help ensure adequate nutrient intake and prevent deficiencies that impact health. Maintaining a positive attitude also contributes to overall well-being.
CHO COUNTING
This document discusses carbohydrate counting for managing diabetes. Carb counting involves following a meal plan that specifies grams of carbs per meal and snack, and using an insulin-to-carb ratio to determine insulin dosage. For those with type 1 diabetes, carb counting helps control blood sugar levels. Those with type 2 diabetes also need to count carbs to control portions and support weight loss through a balanced, limited sugar diet with regular physical activity. Common carb foods are listed along with serving size guidelines to estimate grams of carbohydrates from labels.
Uncovering the benefits of packaged milk
Packaged milk provides several benefits over loose milk. Loose milk poses health risks from pathogens due to contamination during the milking, storage, and transportation processes. Microbes can easily enter and multiply in loose milk. Packaged milk technologies like milk in tetra paks address these issues. Aseptically packaged milk is ultra heat treated and packed in a sterile environment, which kills bacteria and prevents contamination. This allows the milk to be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months without refrigeration while maintaining nutrients. Aseptically packaged milk is considered the highest quality option that ensures safety and intact nutrition suitable for children.
