| Kourtney Kardashian walks around naked - ONE News Posted: 24 Aug 2009 12:49 PM PDT  BANG ShowbizReality TV star Kourtney Kardashian Kourtney Kardashian walks around naked all the time since getting pregnant . The star - who is expecting her first child with partner Scott Disick - is so proud of her ever-expanding baby bump she likes to show it off as much as possible. Speaking at the launch of her new TV show Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami - in which she appears with her sister - at the MGM Grand's Wet Republic Pool Party in Las Vegas, she revealed: "I like when you can see it. I run around naked all day at home." Kardashian is said to have considered having an abortion when she initially found out about the pregnancy. She has also started to crave fruit as the pregnancy progresses, rather than any unusual food combinations. She added: "I have more healthy cravings than my normal eating habits, like I crave fruit and cold things like smoothies." The 30-year-old beauty - who is due to give birth in December - also admits her appetite has significantly increased since she got pregnant. Kardashian - who claims she has gained around 10lbs - said: "I wasn't normally a breakfast person. Now I eat breakfast the second I get up and I'm definitely hungry all throughout the day."

| Mild glucose intolerance in pregnancy may be associated with ... - PhysOrg Posted: 24 Aug 2009 01:39 PM PDT Mild glucose intolerance in pregnancy may be associated with cardiovascular riskAugust 24th, 2009Mild glucose intolerance in pregnancy may be an early identifier of women who are at increased risk of heart disease in the future, found a new study http://www.cmaj.ca/press/cmaj090569.pdf published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). In a large population-based cohort study, researchers from the University of Toronto and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) studied data on 435,696 women in Ontario, Canada, who gave birth between April, 1994 and March, 1998. All women were followed until March 31, 2008. The study excluded women with pre-existing diabetes. As cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Canadian women, it is important to identify early predictors of future vascular risk. While women with gestational diabetes have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those without, it previously has not been known whether mild glucose intolerance in pregnancy is associated with heart disease. The study sought to answer this question. Gestational diabetes is a condition leading to temporarily high blood sugars during pregnancy. It is an important risk factor for future type 2 diabetes. Women are generally screened for gestational diabetes with a glucose challenge test in the late second trimester. If the result is abnormal, they go on to have an oral glucose tolerance test to confirm the diagnosis. "Women who had an abnormal glucose challenge test but then did not have gestational diabetes had an increased risk of future cardiovascular disease compared to the general population, but a lower risk than women who actually did have gestational diabetes," writes Dr. Baiju Shah, Institute for Clinical and Evaluative Sciences and coauthor. They suggest that "in women with glucose intolerance during pregnancy, type 2 diabetes and vascular disease may develop in parallel, which is consistent with the "common soil" hypothesis for these conditions." Current screening procedures for gestational diabetes might also provide a means for the early identification of women who are at risk for developing heart disease later in life. In a related commentary http://www.cmaj.ca/press/cmaj091396.pdf, Dr. J. Kennedy Cruickshank and Dr. Moulinath Banerjee of the Manchester Royal Infirmary, University of Manchester, UK write that "what the study by Retnakaran and Shah shows is that we all have a great deal to learn from sub-clinical blood vessel changes in younger women who are likely overweight during pregnancy." They suggest that diabetes research should focus on the blood vessel rather than glycemia.

| Glucose Challenge in Pregnancy Could Predict Heart Disease - KTVN.com Posted: 24 Aug 2009 10:40 AM PDT
MONDAY, Aug. 24 (HealthDay News) -- A glucose challenge test given to pregnant women may also show if they have an increased risk of heart disease in the future, a new study has found. This finding is important because doctors might be able to begin using current screening procedures for gestational diabetes to identify women who are at risk for developing heart disease later in life, the researchers said. Heart disease is the number-one killer of women in the United States and Canada. While women with gestational diabetes -- a condition leading to temporarily high blood sugars during pregnancy -- have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those without, no one knew if mild glucose intolerance in pregnancy is associated with heart disease, the study authors noted. Gestational diabetes is an important risk factor for future type 2 diabetes. Pregnant women are generally screened for gestational diabetes with a glucose challenge test in the second trimester. If the result is abnormal, they have an oral glucose tolerance test to confirm the diagnosis, according to information in a news release about the study, which is published in the current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. For the study, researchers examined data on 435,696 women in Ontario who gave birth between April 1994 and March 1998. All of the women were followed until March 31, 2008, and the study excluded women who had preexisting diabetes. "Women who had an abnormal glucose challenge test but then did not have gestational diabetes had an increased risk of future cardiovascular disease compared to the general population, but a lower risk than women who actually did have gestational diabetes," co-author Dr. Baiju Shah, of the Institute for Clinical and Evaluative Sciences in Toronto, said in a news release from the journal's publisher.

| Mother's diet has life-long implications for kids - Scoop Posted: 24 Aug 2009 06:54 PM PDT IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mother's diet has life-long implications for children A mother's diet before and during pregnancy can help determine when a daughter reaches puberty and her own reproductive capacity later in life, according a paper authored by Liggins Institute researchers and appearing in the online journal PLoS One today. Globally, a dramatic decrease in age at the start of puberty is occurring. Over the past century, it has fallen in Europe from 17 to 12.5 years, and studies have shown that this is not solely due to changes in childhood nutrition. The latest research examines the role that a pregnant mother's diet can play in "locking in" early onset of puberty in her children, regardless of what they eat after they are born. A study of female rats by the researchers found that both a high fat diet and a calorie-restricted diet during pregnancy significantly decreased the age of puberty for the offspring. However, results showed important hormonal differences in these two groups once they reached adulthood that could influence reproductive success. They also found that prenatal nutrition did more to lower the age of puberty than any later changes to the child's diet. Dr Deborah M Sloboda, Senior Research Fellow at the Liggins Institute and the National Research Centre for Growth and Development at the University of Auckland, co-author of the paper comments: "Rather than being a cause for alarm, our results highlight the potential for women to positively influence their children's future health by making sensible and balanced nutritional choices before and during pregnancy." Dr Elaine Rush, Professor of Nutrition at the Auckland University of Technology comments: "As stated in the press release these findings emphasise the importance and potential for women to influence their children's future health. This paper demonstrated that a high fat diet during pregnancy and infancy is associated with early onset of puberty. "But do women have control over the foods they eat? Is it a choice or a behaviour change that can be achieved by an individual? And is it just about fat or calories in food? What about the other nutrients like vitamins and minerals and in whole foods? There is no evidence that this individual nutrient or person approach will work particularly in a recession. "National leadership is required for a multi-faceted and very long term approach so that education, legislation, transportation and urban planning and food security issues are addressed with a common purpose. A public health campaign is required! We did have one! What has happened to the Healthy Eating Healthy action programme and Mission On? Once we were named in The Lancet in 2006 as world leaders in public health initiatives aimed at curbing the obesity epidemic. Our score card does not look so good now and food bank usage is rising."
