Hello friends welcome to a new happy learning video. Today we are going to learn a bit more about healthy eating, something very important to all of us. We already know that healthy foods are fundamental for our existence, they help us to grow, be strong and be healthy! To eat healthily, one must learn about the variety and quantities of the food we eat. We need to learn about the food pyramid and follow its steps!
Here it is:
The first step on the pyramid, the smallest one, is the one about fats and sweets. It is the favoured one by all children, but to be honest, it is the worst one. One must eat very little or nothing from this step. Pastry’s and sweeties are delicious but they contain a high number of calories, which are very bad for our body. They make us fatter and don’t help with anything. In fact, many doctors agree that this sector is very bad for our health!
The second step is formed by meat, fish and eggs. It is very important to vary these foods every day. You shouldn’t just eat meat because you don’t like fish. In fact, we should eat more fish and eggs than meat!
The third step is all about dairy. This group consists of milk, cheese and butter. I especially love yoghurts. We must eat these foods from one to three times a day!
The fourth step is extremely important because it evolves around fruits and vegetables. These foods fill our bodies with vitamins and minerals and allow us to stay in shape and be strong. Doctors recommend to eat these 5 times a day, if you do your body will thank you!
The base of the pyramid, the fifth step, is the group of the carbohydrates. Here you can find cereals, bread, pasta rice and potatoes. They are also very important so we must eat them daily.
As well as following the different steps in the pyramid, we need to take into account the advice of doctors and nutrition experts. One must try to eat at the same time every day, eating with family will always be beneficial, and also drink plenty of water! But most importantly, every day we must do some kind of physical exercise.
If we eat healthy and do exercise we will grow strong both mentally and physically! So now you know!

Ellen Seely, MD, Director of Clinical Research in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Hypertension at Brigham and Women’s Hospital discusses the health risks associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during and after pregnancy. Dr. Seely also describes Balance After Baby, a web-based program designed to educate women on eating healthfully and increasing their physical activity, with the goal of helping them lose their pregnancy weight within a year of giving birth.

GDM is a type of diabetes that occurs only in pregnancy. It comes on in the second half of pregnancy and it goes away after delivery. In the US it’s estimated that five percent of all pregnancies are complicated by GDM. The rates of GDM are higher in Hispanic and non-white populations, ranging from ten to 20 percent of all pregnancies.

Obesity is one of the main risk factors for GDM. In the United States, most health centers screen all women for gestational diabetes because obesity is becoming so common in the overall population.

Gestational diabetes can impact the health of the mother and the fetus, as well as the newborn. Women with GDM have an increased risk of preeclampsia, which is a type of high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can lead to early delivery. Women who have gestational diabetes may also have larger babies, increasing their risk of cesarean section.

While GDM goes away after pregnancy, the health risks persist. Research has found that 50 to 70 percent of women who have gestational diabetes may develop Type 2 diabetes later in life. Research has also found that babies born to mothers with GDM, have a higher birth weight and may become obese during adolescence, increasing their risk of developing diabetes and other conditions such as high blood pressure.

The Pregnancy and Diabetes Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers multidisciplinary care to women with GDM. The program includes a high risk obstetrician, two diabetes specialists, a nutritionist, and a nurse practitioner who is certified in diabetes education. The first approach to treatment is to control blood glucose levels with healthy eating and physical activity. Lifestyle changes, healthy eating and physical activity, are effective in controlling blood glucose levels about 75 percent of women with GDM. If the lifestyle changes don’t work, insulin therapy is started to control a mother’s blood sugar for the rest of her pregnancy.
