Study: Vitamin D important for building babies’ bones

Source: Blackmores

Researchers believe stronger bones in newborns can be attributed to vitamin D levels, according to a new study into sun exposure where pregnant women’s exposure to sunlight was found to have a direct impact on the height and size of babies.

Studying meteorological data from their mothers’ last three months of pregnancy, as well as height measurements and the results from bone density scans, the cases of nearly 7000 children were examined at The Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children at Britain’s University of Bristol.

When compared to children born in the darkest months, children born to mothers with the highest levels of sun exposure were reported to be 0.5cm taller and showed extra bone area (over and above that which their additional height might cater for).

When Minutes Count…flashID

Do you suffer from chronic disease such as diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, heart failure or indeed any condition that may cause you to collapse or be taken ill suddenly? Or do you know somebody who does?

Developed in Australia, the flashID® Emergency Identification System™ has been developed to provide a simple and accurate means of identifying people in the case of accident, collapse, or loss of consciousness for whatever reason.  

It is a portable USB device that can be plugged into almost any computer and there is no need for internet connection or access to a central database.

Self-monitoring plays an essential part in treating Diabetes. It allows you to eat normally and to enjoy a healthy life. The results from your self-monitoring will give you and your Diabetes care team the information that they need to adjust your therapy.  

It also allows you to manage stress and illness much better.

Does self-monitoring decrease Diabetes complications?

If you test your blood glucose frequently, you will have better control over your Diabetes and therefore fewer complications. Trials such as the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) show that:

• More frequent self-monitoring can significantly help decrease or slow the development of complications in people with Type 1 Diabetes
• Intensive therapy designed to lower blood glucose levels actually reduces the risk of complications such as eye, kidney and nerve damage by up to 75% for people with Type 1 Diabetes
• Better blood glucose control for people with Type 2 Diabetes reduces the risk of:

            * Major Diabetic eye disease by 25%
            * Early kidney damage by 33%
            * Death from long-term Diabetes complications by 33%
            * Strokes by more than 33%
