YOGA PREGNANCY (GETTING READY PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY)

 

                              MAKING UP YOUR MIND

                                        THE SOCIAL LANDSCAPE IS UNDERGOING A TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE TODAY. BOTH MEN AND WOMEN HAVE BEGUN TO SHARE EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES. ALMOST ALL DECISIONS ARE BEING TAKEN WITH MUTUAL CONSENT. MOST IMPORTANT AMONG THEM IS TO BECOME PARENTS, BECAUSE PARENTING, THOUGH MOST BEAUTIFUL, IS ALSO THE MOST CHALLENGING RESPONSIBILITY TO SHARE. IT DEMANDS TIME, PATIENCE, RESOURCES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ONLY A HAPPY COUPLE CAN GIVE BIRTH TO A HAPPY CHILD. GIVING BIRTH IS NOT JUST AN OVERNIGHT JOB. IT IS A PLEASURE, PRIDE AND DUTY TO BER PERFORMED RELIGIOUSLY BY MOTHER WITH ACTIVE AND DEDICATED COOPERATION OF THE FATHER.

                               GETTING READY💟💟

                             ONCE A POSITIVE DECISION ON PARENTHOOD HAS BEEN TAKEN, A COUPLE NEEDS TO GIVE ITSELF THREE TO FOUR MONTH'S TIME TO PREPARE ITSELF MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY. IT IS NOT ONLY THE WOMEN WHO HAS TO PREPARE HERSELF FOR THE MOTHERHOOD BUT THE MAN ALSO HAS TO SHARE EQUAL BURDEN ON HIS WAY TO FATHERHOOD AND THEREFORE NEEDS ADEQUATE PREPARATION.

• SAY GOODBY TO STRESS: STRESS IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DECREASED LEVELS OF TESTOSTERONE AND SPERM COUNT. IF STRESS IS BOTHERING YOU WHEN GET RID OF IT. INCLUDE MEDITATION AND YOGA IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE AND ADOPT A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS EVERYTHING. THIS WILL HELP ENHANCE POTENCY.

• QUIT SMOKING AND ALCOHOL : SMOKING AND ALCOHOL REDUCE THE CHANCES OF PREGNANCY DRASTICALLY AND AFFECT BOTH PARTNERS. THESE ARE TWO OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS TO GET RID OF, WHILE PREPARING FOR PREGNANCY. A STRONG WOMEN MAKEUP IS REQUIRED TO QUIT THESE EVIL HABITS. QUITTING THEM OPTIMISES THE CHANCES OF CONCEIVING. WITH THE PRACTICE OF YOGA AND MEDITATION, IT IS EASY TO GET RID OF THESE HABITS.

                        GETTING READY EMOTIONALLY

                                                                    💟💟

1.                      CHECK ON YOUR WEIGHT : HAVE A CLOSE CHECK ON YOUR WEIGHT. FIND OUT WHETHER YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT OR UNDERWEIGHT. REACHING CLOSER TO YOUR IDEAL WEIGHT WILL HELP YOU COPE BETTER DURING PREGNANCY. YOGA AND DIEATRY CONTROL WILL HELP IMMENSELY IN THIS REGARD.
2.                     VISIT YOUR DOCTOR : VISIT YOUR DOCTOR AND TELL HER ABOUT YOUR DECISION. GO FOR MEDICAL CHECKUPS ESPECIALLY HIV TEST, BLOOD TEST, SUGER TEST AND BLOOD PRESSURE  TEST. YOU CAN ALSO GO FOR A FOLLICLE STUDY WITH THE CONSULTATION OF YOUR DOCTOR, THIS WILL HELP YOU IN DETERMINING YOUR FERTILITY PERIOD AND THE DAY THE EGG IS RELEASED FROM THE OVARY. DO NOT FORGET TO DISCUSS THE HISTORY OF FAMILY ILLNESS LIKE DIABETES, HEART PROBLEMS ETC, IF ANY.
3.                     WEAR EASY CLOTHES : SYNTHETIC AND TIGHT-FITTED CLOTHES CAN OVERHEAT A MAN'S TESTICLES AND INHIBIT SPERM PRODUCTION. ONE SHOULD AVOID TAKING SAUNA BATHS, WEIGHT TRAINING IN THE GYM, TOUGH SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY TO REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS.
4.                   CHECK ON MEDICATION : IF YOU ARE TAKING ANY MEDICATION THEN HAVE A CHECK ON IT AS IT MAY CAUSE FERTILITY PROBLEMS. ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN ABOUT THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF THE MEDICINES YOU MAY BE TAKING.

                    DIETETICS   💫💫

                    DIETETICS IN TODAY'S CONTEXT ASSUMES IMPORTANT OWNING TO THE FACT THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF NEWER FOOD PRODUCTS, CONVENIENCE AND FAST FOODS, FAD DIET FOODS ETC ARE BEING INTRODUCED EVERY DAY. THE CHANGING LIFESTYLES AND FAST PACE OF LIFE LEAVES LITTLE TIME WITH INDIVIDUALS TO BE ABLE TO ASSESS THEIR NUTRITIVE AND DEATARY NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS. IT BECOMES EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT TO INTRODUCE DIATETICS AS A PART OF DAILY LIFE AS THERE IS A NEED TO BE SENSITIVE ABOUT NUTRITION, HEALTH, HYGIENE AND SANITATION ASPECTS OF THE FOOD. MORE SO WHEN MOST OF THE AVAILABLE FOOD PRODUCTS ARE MADE TO SUIT THE PALATE RATHER THAN KEEP THE ABOVE MENTIONED ASPECTS OF NUTRITION IN MIND.

                        A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND COMPLICATIONS THAT OCCUR DURING DIFFERENT PHASES OF PREGNANCY CAN BE PREVENTED, TREATED OR REDUCED WITH APPLICATION OF DIET THERAPY. IT IS THUS ESSENTIAL TO INCLUDE THE RECOMMENDED DIET AND DIETARY ALLOWANCES TO THE WOMEN DURING PREGNANCY IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR AGE, CLASS, CREED, EDUCATION, OCCUPATION, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND SOCIAL OR POLITICAL PLACEMENT.

                            YOGA AND DIATETICS 

                                             IN PREGNANCY❤❤

                           WHEN YOGA AS WELL AS DIATETICS ALONE CAN DO WONDERS IN KEEPING AN INDIVIDUAL HEALTHY AND FREE FROM DISEASES, ONE CANNOT HELP IMAGINE THE KIND OF IMPACT THAT THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO CAN MAKE.

                          YOGA IS SAID TO BE INCOMPLETE WITHOUT OBSERVING STRICT DISCIPLINE IN ONE'S DIET. YOGA ADVOCATES SATVIK OR SIMPLE AND MINIMAL DIET THAT IS LARGELY VEGETARIAN AND FULL OF NUTRIENTS, REQUIRED SPECIFICALLY DURING ANY STAGE OF LIFE OR WHILE TREATING ANY ABNORMALLY. OUT OF THE THREE WAYS OF FOOD INTAKE, DIRECT FROM SUNLIGHT (AS IN PLANTS) , FROM PLANTS (AS IN HERBIVOROUS ANIMALS AND VEGETARIAN HUMAN BEINGS) AND FROM ANIMALS WHICH EAT PLANTS (AS IN CARNIVORES AND NON-VEGETARAN HUMAN BEINGS), YOGA CONSIDERS FULFILLING FOOD REQUIREMENTS THROUGH CONCUMPTION OF PLANTS AND THEIR PRODUCTS AS THE BEST. IN THE SAME MANNER, ANY DIET CAN BE DOUBLY EFFECTIVE IF YOGIC DISCIPLINE IS INCULCATED IN ONE'S DAILY ROUTINE.

                    YOGA AND DIATETICS CAN BE SAFELY APPLIED AND EMRACED DURING PREGNANCY AS NEITHER HAS NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS AND STILL CAN BE USED TO SORT OUT MOST OF THE COMMON PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY WITHOUT MEDICATION OR SURGERY.
