EPILEPSY AND INFERTILITY

According to WebMD ,Women with epilepsy have a nine out of 10 chances of giving birth to a healthy baby. Although it's safe for women with epilepsy to have children, they tend to have a more difficult time conceiving. In fact, fertility problems occur in 25 percent to 33 percent of epileptic women.  Here's what all women with epilepsy should know about becoming pregnant.

 Epilepsy and Fertility Problems

Women with epilepsy may have difficulties conceiving for a number of reasons. For starters, epileptic women are more likely to suffer from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which is a common cause of infertility. Women who suffer from this condition tend to experience irregular menstrual periods, facial hair, acne, and obesity.

Epilepsy can also cause irregular menstrual periods. This can make it difficult for women to know when they are ovulating, which can make it harder to become pregnant. Women who have epilepsy are also more prone to an ovulatory cycles, which are menstrual cycles which do not produce an egg. Epileptic women are also more likely to suffer from hormonal imbalances that can make it harder to become pregnant.

Are Epilepsy Medications Linked to Infertility?

Certain anti-seizure medications have been linked to fertility problems. On the other hand,according to the Mayo Clinic,  some epilepsy medications can make hormonal birth control methods less effective.  To find out how your medication may be affecting your fertility, be sure to talk to your doctor.

How Can You Increase Your Chances of Getting Pregnant?

Any woman in the world with epilepsy who wishes to become pregnant should schedule an appointment with an obstetrician, as well as with her primary care physician and her neurologist. Your doctor may need to make adjustments to your medication. Never try making these adjustments on your own while you're trying to conceive.

 women who are trying to become pregnant should try to keep stress levels at a minimum, follow a well-balanced diet, and exercise regularly. It's also important to avoid smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and consuming too much caffeine. If you suspect that you may have PCOS, be sure to talk to your doctor.

Keep in mind that anti-seizure medications have been linked to birth defects. Women with epilepsy who are trying to become pregnant should begin taking 0.4 mg of folic acid every day for several months before conception. Folic acid can reduce the risk of birth defects by 60 percent to 70 percent, according to the Epilepsy Foundation. If you have any other questions about becoming pregnant with this condition, be sure to talk to your doctor(s).

INCREASING OUR METABOLISM BY SOME BEST DISHES

Close

 The dictionary said Metabolism is the term given to define multiple chemical processes in the human body that not only converts food into usable fuel but also how efficiently. When we are young our metabolism is high, using most of our food for energy. As we age that process changes and slows down at a rate of 5% per decade and our bodies require less food to maintain our weight.

 Increase Metabolism
Exercise is one of the most important ways (of course, there are some other ways) to increase metabolism. It increases the metabolism and sustains that increase for at least eight hours. Some foods also increase metabolism for several hours after eating.

Foods to Increase Your Metabolism
There are some misconceptions about which foods actually increase metabolism. No one food is a cure all. Celery, red pepper, green tea, grapefruit juice and countless other foods and herbs have been touted as miracle foods for single-handedly increasing metabolism. There really is no miracle food. Eating three times a day is essential to maintaining metabolism. Healthy snacks between meals helps by decreasing the amount eaten at mealtime. Skipping meals causes the metabolism to slow down to a "starvation" mode, and stores fat rather than burning it.
Multiple studies have proven that high protein-low fat foods are the best at increasing the metabolism and sustaining that increase. Red pepper does cause an increase for about thirty minutes after eating, but nothing beyond that has been found. Here are four recipes that will give the reader a good start. They serve one, but are easy to increase. I love making these at home. Easy, fast, tasty and economical. They are all high protein, low fat meals that will boost the metabolism for several hours after eating.

MAKING GOOD BREAKFAST AS A HABIT

Close

It's considered to be the most important meal of the day, but do you really take the time to put together a healthy meal first thing in the morning? It is true for eating breakfast reduces your hunger later in the day, making it easier to avoid overeating. If you skip breakfast, you may feel ravenous later and be tempted to reach for a quick fix such as candy from the vending machine.

Use these tips to make eating breakfast as a habit:

1: Get up about ten to fifteen minutes before your regular wake-up time so that you have enough time to prepare a tasty meal before your day begins. Being rushed for time is a common excuse to skimp on breakfast. Make time to include breakfast in your daily schedule and be consistent with it so it becomes a habit.

2: Create a meal plan for yourself just for a few weeks, and make sure you include a variety of healthy carbs and lean protein food choices for breakfast each morning. Whether it's an omelet stuffed with veggies or a hearty bowl of oatmeal with low-fat milk and fresh fruit, put together three or four different breakfast recipes that you know you will actually eat. A little planning can help you make eating breakfast a part of your regular routine in no time flat.
3: Stock up on a handful of ingredients to put together a healthy breakfast yourself, instead of relying on prepared breakfast foods and snacks like sugary cereal bars disguised as breakfast items. The fresher food, the better. Think along the lines of fresh egg sandwiches, whole grain muffins you baked the night before, old-fashioned oats and other foods that aren't laced with preservatives, extra sugars and fats. Remember that eating sugary cereal first thing in the morning will make you crave more sugar and carbohydrate-rich foods within a few hours. Stick with complex carbohydrates whenever possible.
4: We need to eat a meal that's high in complex carbohydrates and lean protein. A bowl of old-fashioned oatmeal and a protein shake are easy to prepare and keep me full for hours. If you're working out in the morning, plan to eat within an hour after your workout so your body can recover. This counts as your "breakfast" for the day. Again, planning ahead will make eating this meal a part of your daily routine.
5: Don't like "traditional" breakfast foods? Eat what you like so that you're motivated to stick with the routine long enough to make it a habit. A fruit and yogurt parfait, a tuna sandwich on whole grain bread, steamed salmon with brown rice, or a cup of Greek yogurt with almonds can all serve as satisfying -- and healthy -- alternatives to conventional breakfast foods.
