Pregnancy Nutrition

A healthy mother gives birth to healthy child. Unfortunately millions of mothers remain nutritionally unhealthy in their preconception stage. According to Indian Council Medical Research( ICMR), nutritional requirements increase during pregnancy. Hence supplementation of nutrition during pregnancy would be beneficial to the mother and child both. It is also observed that a child can not attain his or her full potential if there was maternal nutritional deficiency in the fetal stage. British Biologicals developed a unique nutritional supplement, Pro-PL, for all would-be mothers.

Managing Menopause- An Overview

Menopause is a normal, natural event—defined as the final menstrual period and usually confirmed when a woman has missed her periods for 12 consecutive months (in the absence of other obvious causes). Menopause is associated with reduced functioning of the ovaries due to aging, resulting in lower levels of estrogen and other hormones. It marks the permanent end of fertility. Menopause occurs, on average, at age 51. The years between puberty (when periods start) and menopause are called premenopause.

Menopause typically occurs around age 50 or 51. However, menopause can occur at different times in different women. Many women experience the beginning stages of menopause by the age of 35, while others do not experience menopause until as late as age 60. If menopause occurs before age 40, it is frequently referred to as premature menopause. Premature menopause is often the result of premature ovarian failure or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

For most women, menopause is a gradual change. However, it can occur suddenly in some cases. Known as surgical menopause, this type of menopause occurs after a hysterectomy, removal of the ovaries, or following chemotherapy or radiation treatment. With this type of menopause, menopause symptoms typically onset rapidly.
