A bad diet during pregnancy put an unborn child at risk!
Scientists found out that women who have a bad diet during pregnancy put an unborn child at risk of developing diabetes in later life. The study was carried out by researchers from the Medical Research Council’s Toxicology Unit and the University of Cambridge in the UK, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, and the Steno Diabetes Centre in Denmark. The researchers propose that diet in pregnancy decreases a person’s ability to store fat in adulthood.
Researchers found that a molecule, called miRNA-483-3p, is present at increased levels in the fat of both men who had a low birth weight and rats whose mothers were fed a low-protein diet during pregnancy. It was discovered that exposing the cells to high levels of miRNA-483-3p declines the ability to form fat cells and to store fats. Scientists believe that high levels of miRNA-483-3p can lead to insulin resistance and even diabetes, because fats go to the liver and muscle.
Scientists say that a healthy diet during pregnancy is very important in order to protect an unborn child from health problems.

(3)A study published last year carried out by the same team at the Royal Veterinary College, London, showed that rodents which ate a diet rich in fat, sugar and salt whilst pregnant were more likely to give birth to offspring that overate and had a preference for junk food when compared to the offspring of rats given regular feed.
Now, in a follow-up study published in The Journal of Physiology, the researchers have shown that a mother's diet has an effect lasting beyond adolescence in the rats, even when the offspring were weaned off the junk food, affecting how their bodies metabolise the food and suggesting a long term health impact.
Nice researches have been made by scientists.Surgery should be done in the safest month.Thanks for such nice information.Looking forward to see more from you.
Healthy diet is essential for a woman at the time of pregnency otherwise it may cause bad effect to the child.Thanks for this informative post.
