How to Reduce Preeclampsia Risk

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] How to Reduce Preeclampsia Risk By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs When singer Beyonce was pregnant with her twins, Rumi and Sir, she developed preeclampsia, which led to a month's bed rest before an emergency C-section. And the babies were in neonatal intensive care for a month after birth. Preeclampsia is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and high amounts of protein in the urine, which can damage fetal development and endanger a woman's health. It affects about one in 25 pregnancies in the United States every year. Special: [Dangers of Eating Spinach]( Afterward, mom may develop high blood pressure and heart disease. And we now know it can cause mental, behavioral, and emotional problems in kids. A Finnish study of 4,743 mother-child pairs, published in the journal Hypertension, found that kids had a 66% higher risk of mental disorders if their moms suffered from preeclampsia, and a 100% greater risk if the preeclampsia was severe. The causes of preeclampsia are complex — including having multiples, as Beyonce did. The good news is that you can reduce the risk by losing weight if you are overweight, not smoking anything, getting your blood pressure under control if you have high levels, exercising regularly, and (if you have a high-risk pregnancy) taking 81 mg of aspirin daily after your 12th week. Early diagnosis and treatment can control preeclampsia and help assure that you and your baby will be healthy for years to come. That's why it is so important for all pregnant women to have regular prenatal doctor's visits to check blood pressure and urine protein levels, as well as a Doppler scan that measures blood flow to the placenta. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL Spinach is often promoted as a healthy green, but contains FAR more downsides than good sides... Spinach is one of the highest oxalate foods that's commonly eaten by modern humans (in addition to beet greens, beets, almonds, and other veggies and nuts). The amount of oxalates in a serving of spinach is extremely high, up to 600 mg in a normal sized bowl. The "safe" amount of oxalates in a daily diet according to world renowned oxalate expert Sally Norton should be between 100-200 mg per day total to avoid a lot of the health problems caused by high oxalate plants. So you can see how concerning spinach is with these extremely high oxalate levels. The problem with eating too much oxalates too frequently is that it can cause serious issues such as kidney stones, thyroid problems, gut damage, skin issues, and joint pain. In fact, some people have even gotten "oxalate poisoning" by drinking green smoothies too often and had to go to the ER for kidney failure. In addition, the nutrients in spinach such as calcium and iron are very poorly absorbed by the human body, with a dismal 3-4% bioavailability. Compare that to the very high bioavailability (high absorption) of nutrients like iron and calcium in meat and dairy at 30-40% bioavailability. Overall, we believe that spinach has more cons than pros, and we avoid it. Dozens of our clients and friends have also reported dramatically improved digestion and less joint pain when eliminating leafy greens such as spinach.
