Fast food not major cause behind childhood obesity

New Delhi, Jan 17 (ANI): A new study has found that fast food consumption may not be the major factor in the rapid increase in childhood obesity. The study found that fast-food consumption is simply a byproduct of a much bigger problem: poor all-day-long dietary habits that originate in children's homes. The study was produced by researchers at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health. The study's researchers found that children's consumption of fast food is only a small part of a much more pervasive dietary pattern that is fostered at an early age by children's parents and caregivers.

How working mums-to-be can ensure healthy pregnancy

New Delhi, Jan 17 (ANI): Some women continue to work even when they are expecting, but work-related stress can put the baby at risk. However, if proper precautions are taken, then the baby and mother can enjoy a healthy pregnancy and birth. Consuming 3 to 5 meals a day, munching on snacks through the day, taking regular breaks and exercising in moderation can help working mums relieve stress. Also, avoid being your own doctor because wrong kind of drug exposure can damage the nervous system and lead to physical malformations in the foetus. Office-going women should also stay away from alcohol, smoking and passive smoking too. Jan 17, 2014
