Benefits & Risks of Eating Walnuts During Pregnancy
When a woman comes to know that she is pregnant, she is very careful about her diet (as she should be). If you are pregnant, you must have also considered making changes in your diet after consulting with your doctor. Your gynaecologist must have recommended that you eat only healthy foods. She may have also suggested that you start eating dry fruits and nuts such as almonds, apricots, and walnuts. In this article, we will talk about walnuts. Many expecting women are not aware of the nutritional benefits of walnuts. So, let’s look at the benefits of walnuts during pregnancy.
Is It Safe to Eat Walnuts During Pregnancy?
Walnuts, known as akhrot in Hindi, are extremely healthy and completely safe for consumption during pregnancy. The kernel of a walnut resembles a brain and they not only just resemble brain but also help in the proper functioning of the brain. Apart from this, there are a number of other potential benefits of consuming walnuts while pregnant.
Nutritional Benefits of Consuming Walnuts During Pregnancy
It is believed that the mothers-to-be who eat nuts during pregnancy are less likely to have kids with nut allergies. The delicious and crunchy walnuts also contain a lot of nutrients that are beneficial for a pregnant woman. The benefits of eating akhrot during pregnancy are mentioned below.
Walnuts are a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for the development of brain activity in a baby. Eating walnuts during pregnancy can also boost the development of a baby’s brain.
Walnuts contain Vitamin E in the form of gamma-tocopherol. The gamma-tocopherol form is considered to be a very effective form of Vitamin E because of its unique antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It even helps get rid of harmful free radicals.
Walnuts are a rich source of vitamins, fibre, magnesium, copper, and manganese. They are also loaded with calcium, iron, zinc, and selenium. These nutrients add to the numerous advantages of walnuts.
It is an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid – an essential fatty acid required for the baby’s development.
Health Benefits of Eating Walnuts in Pregnancy
Now that you are aware of the nutritional value of walnuts, let us understand more about how eating them can help you during pregnancy.
Walnuts are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and proteins which can help in the development of the eyes and brain of your unborn baby.
Walnuts contain plant sterols which can help in controlling blood cholesterol levels and increase the good cholesterol (HDL) levels in your body.
Eating walnuts in moderate quantities can also help in maintaining the optimal lipid profile during pregnancy.
Walnut oil is found to be beneficial in preserving the function of endothelial cells, which line the blood vessels throughout the body. These cells play an important part in blood vessel flexibility. Hence, inflammation of blood vessels can be controlled with regular consumption of walnuts.
Since walnuts relax the blood vessels, they can even help control high blood pressure.
Walnuts are a good source of proteins and fibre, both of which are vital for an expecting woman.
The antioxidants present in walnuts can help strengthen the immune system of an expecting woman. It is recommended that you eat walnuts along with the brown skin. This is because 90 per cent of the antioxidants found in walnuts is concentrated in its skin.
The copper content in walnuts can help in the proper growth and development of the foetus.
They also contain polyphenols and copper which can prevent damage from free radicals and cancer.
Post-delivery, it is recommended that mothers consume walnuts to keep postpartum depression away. Their alpha-linolenic acid content is good for battling postpartum depression, manic-depressive psychosis, and even dementia. So, you can continue eating walnuts post-delivery.
Walnuts also help regulate melatonin levels. Melatonin induces sleep and eating walnuts, especially during the third trimester, can be very beneficial as sleep becomes a major concern at that time.
Walnuts can make you feel full for longer and prevent you from binge eating, thus keeping your weight in check.
Walnuts contain copper which is required for the formation of red blood cells. It also helps repair tissues and breakdown sugars.
Manganese is a crucial nutrient required for the development of baby’s bones and cartilage. Half of the daily required amount of manganese can be provided by one serving of walnut.
How to Include Walnuts in Your Pregnancy Diet
There are many ways in which you can eat walnuts. They can be eaten separately or in finely chopped form. They can also be added to various dishes including baked goods, meat and fish, and vegetables and fruit salads. Women also consume walnuts as a remedy for several health problems as medicines may not be advisable during pregnancy.
You can mix 3-4 finely chopped walnuts in 1 tablespoon of honey and eat them with a glass of water. It can provide relief from a headache, insomnia, or stress.
Mix chopped walnuts with grated lemon skin and 2 tablespoons of honey in a bowl. Consuming 1 tablespoon of this mixture before meals would prove beneficial if you suffer from the symptoms of anaemia and avitaminosis (long-term vitamin deficiency).
You can include walnuts in your diet as a mid-meal snack. To get maximum benefits from them, eat soaked walnuts.
What Are the Risks of Eating Walnuts During Pregnancy?
While walnuts can be consumed during pregnancy, you should not eat them excessively. An excess of anything can prove detrimental for your health, and that stands true for walnuts too. You can eat walnuts during pregnancy as long as you eat them in moderation. It is not recommended to consume more than 30g of walnuts in a day while pregnant. This is because consuming too many walnuts can trigger complications for the mother as well as the unborn baby.
Here are some of the possible complications that may arise if you consume walnuts in excess during pregnancy.
Consuming walnuts in excess amounts can lead to diarrhoea during pregnancy.
Eating walnuts may interfere with the absorption of iron and lead to anaemia in the long run.
A mild allergy to walnuts may get aggravated during pregnancy. If you are highly allergic to nuts and end up consuming even a small amount of walnuts during pregnancy, it can cause skin rashes, swelling of lips, itching, dizziness and wheezing.
Eating walnuts in excess may increase the chances of bleeding during delivery.
Walnut Allergy in Pregnancy
If you have a nut allergy, especially walnut allergy, you should refrain from consuming walnuts during pregnancy and even after delivery. But if you are not allergic to walnuts, you can eat them in moderate amounts. Many women believe that eating nuts during pregnancy is unsafe and that the baby can develop a nut allergy in future. However, this is just a misconception. Consuming nuts during pregnancy will not increase your baby's risk of developing an allergy to nuts. Babies born to women who refrain from eating nuts during pregnancy can develop a nut allergy too. So, you can eat walnuts during pregnancy, just remember to eat them in moderation.
Now that you are aware of the immense health benefits of walnuts, don't think twice before making them a part of your pregnancy diet. You can eat 2-3 walnuts daily during pregnancy without worrying about their side effects. As long as you eat them in moderate amounts, you won’t have any problem. However, while buying walnuts, make sure you choose the ones that are oblong and have a thin shell. Avoid consuming kernels which have dark spots on them and have a rancid taste. Have a healthy pregnancy! Read more

Communicating With Your School Going Kid
Every child is at a different level when it comes to displaying communication skills. Some children enjoy talking throughout the day, while there are others who like to keep calm and do not indulge in long conversations. However, there is not much to worry about such kids, because even as adults, some people are great speakers while others are great listeners.
Your child keeps meeting new students in school and has a growing social life, which becomes more important to them as they grow. They constantly keep picking up behaviours and communication patterns from their immediate social circle. Yet, parents remain their perennial anchors of life and the basic source of learning. So to say, parents are the primary role models for the kids. Sometimes, your child may behave like an adult, but the very next second he might behave like a toddler. It might be difficult to understand him in the first place, but you have to strive hard to understand and communicate with him, and the first step to do this is to understand all his situations.
Communicating effectively with your child is an art, that you need to master. You and your child are in different stages in life, and because of this, most of the times you both might feel the lack of understanding between each other.
How To Communicate Well with Your Children
1. Plan
Whenever you want to do any activity with your child, make sure you plan it well in advance. Children get impulsive and driven by desires, so there will be situations when the child will react in a way that you least expect at that time.
2. Find Time
Even if you are a working mother make sure you dedicate a few hours of your day exclusively for your child, it can also be a part of your family time.
3. Speak Maturely
You should make a habit of talking to your child with respect, as you would with grown-ups. This will build upon their self esteem and they will be willing to behave maturely in turn with you.
4. Be Empathetic
You have to understand their feelings before you want them to do the same. Being empathetic is the key to effective communication, and it will happen sometimes that things which do not matter to you might severely matter to your child.
5. Respond, Don’t React
You should make a habit of responding, but not reacting to your child. Before you say ‘No’ to something, you should give it a thought and try to explain the reasons behind it. Chances are, your child may fight with you, but with a little time he will be convinced with your reason.
6. Have Fun
You have to find time to do fun things together. You can use that fun time for light conversations and get to know a lot of things which your child would not like to discuss otherwise. These activities are a great time to bond with your child.
You need to make an effort and create a relationship which is open and frank and both of you have equal rights to talk. Effective communication does not mean showing authority, instead it means communicating in a way that you get to say everything without being misunderstood. Be genuinely interested in the conversations so that you spent your time delightfully with your child. Read more

Neural Tube Birth Defect in Babies
During the early stages of pregnancy, the core structure that develops into the spinal cord and the brain are formed. Due to some deficiencies and genetic factors, some foetuses develop these structures with some abnormality. These abnormalities stay and further get magnified as defects in the brain or spinal cord. These malformations are collectively called as neural tube defects (NTD). This article discusses the various aspects of this birth defect and the precautions that expecting mothers can take to deliver a healthy baby.
What are Neural Tube Defects?
Neural tube defects are birth defects that are characterized by abnormalities in the spine, brain or spinal cord of the developing foetus. It is one of the most common forms of birth defects in babies worldwide. These defects occur during the first month of the pregnancy and are detected in the first trimester itself.
What is Neural Tube?
The neural tube is a flat and tiny ribbon-shaped structure that develops in an embryo within the first few weeks of its formation. It is this primitive structure that gives rise to the brain and the spinal cord, in a fully developed baby. As this structure forms the basis of the vital organs, an abnormality in its development or differentiations results in a group of defects termed as neural tube defects.
Types of Neural Tube Defects
Neural tube defects are broadly classified as open neural tube defects and closed neural tube defects, based on the whether the brain and spinal cord are covered or not. Each of these has a number of subtypes, which are discussed in detail below.
Open type neural defect
In the open type neural defect, the brain and the spinal cord are seen outside the skull or the vertebral column. Meningitis is commonly found to be associated with this type of defect. The open type includes conditions like spina bifida, encephaloceles, iniencephaly, and schizencephaly, hydranencephaly and anencephaly.
Spina Bifida
Spina bifida is a very common type of neural tube defect that is caused when the lower part of the spinal cord protrudes out of the body. It is usually found associated with damaged nerves in that region. Children with spina bifida are likely to have paralysis of the extremities, especially the leg and poor control of the urine and stool. There are three sub-types of spina bifida namely, spina bifida occulta, meningocele and Myelomeningocele. Spina bifida occulta is the mildest form of spina bifida, where, there is a small space in the spinal cord which does not have any implications on the brain or spinal cord. Meningocele is a condition that refers to a small protrusion of the meninges in the back. Myelomeningocele is a very severe form of neural tube defect that involves the protrusion of a small portion of the spinal cord and the surrounding tissue. It is characterised by intellectual disability caused by fluid accumulation in the brain and complete or partial paralysis of the leg.
2. Anencephaly
Anencephaly is the abnormality of the neural tube in the upper end, causing children to be born without a portion of the brain and the skull. The remaining part of the brain is very cluttered and disorganised. Children with Anencephaly are usually still born or do not survive for more than a few weeks of birth.
3. Encephalocely
During the formation of brain in the embryo, when the neural tube does not close properly leaving a sac like protrusion of the brain and its membrane, it is termed as encephalocele. This condition is relatively rare and is almost always accompanied by developmental disabilities, paralysis of the upper and lower extremities, seizures, hydrocephalus, ataxia, abnormalities of the face and head and problems with the vision. Some children who have encephalocele survive to have normal intelligence.
4. Iniencephaly
Iniencephaly is a rare form of neural tube defect that is characterised by exceptionally large heads that are tilted backwards. It is also often associated with absence of neck, distorted spine, defective spinal cord and cleft lip. Babies born with this disorder do not survive for long time after birth.
Closed neural tube defect:
In the closed neural tube defect, the neural tissue is not visible outside. It is covered by a patch of hairy or discloured skin. In this type of neural defect, the spinal cord is attached to the tissue of the back, preventing it from growing with age. Some types of closed neural tube defects are,
Lipomyelomeningocele : This is a condition where, a mass of fat tissue under the skin, tethers to the back bone preventing it from growing. It is visible as a large lump and is often associated with poor bladder and bowel control and weakness in the legs.
2. Lipomeningocele: Lipomeningocele is a condition where a small portion of the spinal cord protrudes out under the skin and gets attached to the tissues in the backbone. The protrusion affects the nerves radiating from that part of the spinal cord, giving raise to neurological defects.
Causes
The causes of neural tube defects can be one of the following,
Genetic factors: Neural tube defects are caused due to certain mutations in genes encoding the enzyme Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase(MTHFR). These variations can increase the likelihood of a child being born with neural defects. A family history of tube defects also increases the chances greatly.
Folic acid deficiency: Folic acid or vitamin B, is a very vital nutrient for the proper formation of the neural tube. Expecting mothers who have a deficiency of folic acid, have a higher chance of giving birth to a baby with neural tube defects. The folate plays an important role in the methylation process of the cytoskeleton, as part of the post translational modifications. These post translational modifications are vital in giving functionality to the proteins. Doctors usually prescribe folic acid supplements upto 400 micrograms per day to women in their first trimester to avoid these defects. Folic acid deficiency associated NTD accounts for nearly 70% of the cases, worldwide.
Uncontrolled diabetes: If the mother has uncontrolled gestational diabetes, there are high chances for the baby to have NTD. Maternal diabetes, particularly affects the genes set responsible for neural tube defects.
Weight gain: Obesity in the expecting mother is found to be a risk factor for the occurrence of neural tube defects.
Medications during pregnancy: Certain medicines, particularly those that are taken to control seizures, have an adverse effect of the organogenesis of the foetus. Anti-epileptic drugs like carbamazepine and Valproate have an increased risk of causing neural tube defects.
Smoking: Primary or secondary exposure to smoking, increases the chances of the mother to deliver a baby with NTD. The chemicals in the cigarette re likely to hamper the folate mediated methylation process.
Symptoms
Most children born with neural tube defects show one or more of the following symptoms,
Disability of the intellect, learning disabilities
Visual impairment in some cases
Paralysis of the extremeties
Deafness
Poor bladder and bowel control
Some children with severe cases of NTD may fail to survive, while some others survive to have normal intelligence. The symptoms can vary hugely depending on the severity of the defect.
How to Detect Neural Tube Defects?
Neural tube defects are usually detected when the baby is inside the uterus or soon after it is born. During pregnancy, a neural tube defect can be clearly identified through a simple ultrasound scan as early as 19 weeks. An anomaly scan done during this time of the pregnancy, captures any signs of spina bifida in the foetus.
A blood test, called triple screen test, done between 14-20 weeks of pregnancy, checks for elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). An elevated level of this protein is indicative of a higher risk of neural tube defects. When elevated levels of AFP are identified, the doctor recommends an amniocentesis to confirm the diagnosis of NTD. Amniocentesis is a process of drawing small portions of the amniotic fluid surrounding the foetus, to check for the various proteins. If the FAP is found elevated in this sample, the diagnosis is confirmed.
Benefits of Detecting Neural Tube Defects before Birth
Early detection of neural tube defects can be very helpful in effectively managing it after the baby is born. Some of the benefits of early detection are:
Preparing the parent: Although the news of their baby having a birth defect can be very difficult for the soon-to-be-parents, early detection of the birth defect can go a long way in preparing them physically, emotionally and financially. Counselling sessions can help them understand the risks involved in the pregnancy and in severe forms of NTD like anencephaly, they can be prepared for the loss of their child also.
Terminating the pregnancy: If the diagnosis of NTD is done during the first few weeks of pregnancy, the parents can discuss with their doctor about the possibilities of terminating the pregnancy at an early stage.
Mode of delivery: Once the diagnosis of NTD is made, parents can discuss with their doctor about the chances of having a normal vaginal delivery versus a C-section.
Ante-natal care: An awareness about the fact that the baby may require medical assistance soon after birth can help the parents choose the hospital with advanced neo-natal care, to support the baby soon after its birth.
Complications
Depending upon the severity and location of the neural tube defect and the extent of nerve damage, the complications can vary from one child to another. Some of the complications associated with NTD are,
Lack of bowel and bladder control, constipation is some cases
Deformities of the hip, foot and knee
‘S’ shaped bend in the spine called scoliosis
Varying degrees of paralysis of lower part of the body
Fluid inside and around the brain causing enlargement of the head
Problems with swallowing and breathing
Many of these complications can be overcome through surgery or medications.
Who is at Maximum Risk of Having a Baby with NTD?
Parents who have already had a child with neural defects or have close relatives who have children with NTD, have a high risk of having a baby with tube defect.
Treatment
Depending on the complications associated with NTD, the choice of treatment is made. Severe and fatal forms of NTD like anencephaly or iniencephaly, usually do not have any treatment. Other milder forms can be corrected with some of the available treatment options such as,
Surgery: Particularly in the case of open neural tube defects, surgery is usually performed to close the hole exposing the spine. In closed type NTD, where the spinal cord is tethered to the back, a surgery is performed to disengage the spine to allow it to grow.
Shunt to drain fluid: Many types of NTD are associated with hydrocephalus, the accumulation of fluid inside and around the brain. A small shunt (hollow tube) is implanted and used to drain the fluid. This greatly reduces the enlargement of the head.
Supporting aids: For children with disabilities in the lower extremities, supporting aids such as walkers, wheelchairs and crutches are suggested to improve their quality of life.
Medications: Bladder inconsistencies, constipation, etc. can be corrected with some medications. Catheters are also used to empty the bladder from time to time, for those children with bladder issues.
Prevention of NTD
One of the most effective measures of preventing NTD is to ensure a good intake of folic acid. While planning for a pregnancy, women can start taking supplements of folic acid in advance, in order to build up enough reserve in the body. The recommended dosage is 400 micrograms per day. Additionally consuming a diet rich in folic acid can go a long way in preventing NTD in the babies.
Can you Get Folic Acid from Food?
Folic acid is very much available readily in food substances and consuming it regularly before and during pregnancy can be helpful in preventing neural tube defects in pregnancy. Some of the food substances rich in folic acid are,
Green leafy vegetable, oranges and beans
Cornmeal and other corn based products
White rice
Bread
Pasta
Neural tube defects are one of the common types of birth defects affecting thousands of children around the world. Proper dietary habits rich in folic acid and a healthy lifestyle can greatly help in preventing the occurrence of NTD.

Jonathan Name Meaning and Origin
Jonathan is a masculine name of Hebrew origin, meaning “gift of Jehovah.” Derived from the Hebrew name Yehonatan or Jehonathan, meaning ‘Yahweh has given,’ it has eventually got modified to the modern Yonatan, meaning “gift of Jehovah.” This Jewish and gentile name is Ionatán in Irish, and Jonatan in Spanish may offer fresher alternatives.
What Does Jonathan Mean?
Originating from Hebrew, the meaning of Jonathan is “YHWH has given.” A diminutive of Yehonatan, the meaning of Jonathan is “God has given.” It comes from the elements yeho, about God, and Natan, meaning “to give.”
Origin
As a Christian name, Jonathan did not become common until after the Protestant Reformation in Europe. According to the Old Testament, Yahweh is the God of the Israelites. His name was revealed to Moses in the form of four Hebrew consonants. In the Old Testament, Jonathan was the valiant eldest son of King Saul. His friendship with his father’s rival and brother-in-law David gave rise to the expression “Jonathan and David” to denote devoted and steadfast friendship. He was ultimately killed along with his father in the war with the Philistines. The Anglo-Irish satirist Jonathan Swift popularized this name in recent times among the English-speaking countries of the world.

Q. my baby girl is crying because of gas. can please tell how to relieve gas?
Dr Vandan H Kumar
Paediatrician

A. from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen
in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.d
do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping)
during the cdolic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also.
advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.

you have to just see that the child is not having any disturbance during the sleep because it can occur due to gas as well as due to digestion problem. aldso see for the comfort of the child and see the bedding on which the child is sleeping.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot weather because that also can cause disturbance in the sleep. d

A. Could be due to stomach pain and sometimes kids have an aversion to a particular breast and they do not like to take direct breastfeeding also since you haven’t mentioned the current age of your child I would recommend you to kindly consult a specialist one time

A. you will have to give ors for every episode of loose motion. you you cannot give heavy diet like milk to the child for few days as well as you cannot give sugar based food. you cannot give packet based foods as well as biscuit maida. kindly give curd buttermilk apple banana poha upma daliya. you can also give any recipe made from rice dal as well as sabudanxa khichdi. you cannot give outside juice as well as glucon d to the child. please meet your doctor because if it is viral or bacterial diarrhea will be confirmed only on examination.
