Diet high-fat pregnancy obesity program on children.
Several studies suggest that in high-fat food choices in pregnancy predisposes children also prefer them after birth.
It is increasingly clear that we eat throughout the months of pregnancy has a direct impact on the health of our children. In this regard, an experiment with rats by researchers at Rockefeller University have discovered a fact that could be related to the large increase in obesity in recent years.
Exposure to a high-fat diet in utero causes changes in the baby's brain that stimulate appetite by raising the risk of suffering from obesity in early life.
Researchers have concluded that:
"The babies born to mothers who ate a high fat diet ate more, even after they removed this diet when they were born, weighed more throughout their lives and beginning before puberty those born to mothers taking the balanced diet for the same period of time. "
The study shows how diet affects the mother in a greater production of peptide-producing neurons in the offspring, which stimulates appetite and maintain this preference over a lifetime.
confirm the same brain mechanism humans can say that we are programming from pregnancy to our children to be obese.
