In the study, which was conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, the participants completed a scientifically evaluated questionnaire about what they had been eating and drinking since becoming pregnant.
The researchers also had access to information about the women’s general lifestyle e.g. level of education, living conditions, income, weight, physical activity, smoking habits, alcohol consumption, number of children and medical factors such as history of preterm delivery.
15% lower risk
The results show that the group of women with the ‘healthiest’ pregnancy diet had a roughly 15% lower risk of preterm delivery compared with those with the most unhealthy diet. The correlation remained after controlling for ten other known risk factors for preterm delivery.
‘Pregnant women have many reasons to choose a healthy diet with lots of vegetables, fruit, whole grain products and some types of fish, but this is the first time we can statistically link healthy eating habits to reduced risk of preterm delivery,’ says Linda Englund-Ögge, researcher at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg.
Associated with complications
Preterm delivery, defined as spontaneous or induced delivery before the end of gestational week 37, can be associated with acute and long-term complications and is a major problem in modern maternity care. Measures to prevent preterm delivery are therefore of high priority.
Should this lead to revised dietary recommendations for pregnant women?
‘No, and it is not harmful to occasionally eat something unhealthy. But our study shows that the dietary recommendations given to pregnant women are important,’ says Englund-Ögge:
‘Dietary studies can be very complex. Any given food item may contain a wide range of substances and is usually consumed together with other foods. This makes it difficult to find out its exact effects of one single food. We show that there is a statistically established link between a healthy diet and reduced risk of preterm delivery, but our study wasn’t designed to identify any underlying mechanisms.
Encourage healthy eating habits
Englund-Ögge says that studies of the overall dietary pattern and the total quality of the foods consumed are important complements to coming studies of how single food items affect the risk of preterm delivery. The researchers are hoping that the study will inspire doctors, midwives and others who work with pregnant women to encourage healthy eating habits.

Want to lose weight? Research proves a big breakfast is the first step

u know for a big guy- he’s not that strong. nick was able to keep up w.
him. maybe it’s just me.
at least he has admitted it and not lie like the other pussies who try fill
your heads with lies about dieting and supplements just so they can steal
your money!
I want some steroids aswell. My biceps never grow !!
why are his legs so small?
Interesting points about the insulin, good stuff!
Yeah, always figured the 45 minute workout myth was from the juicers
I wish more IFBB pros would just tell us their cycle and full supplement
range otherwise people are gonna just start experiment with them and fuck
themselves up.
Is it me or his right bicep is bigger than his left lol

and I thought it was all in their diet ;-)
pahahaha Bostin talks about drugs and Nick is talking about him “using
IIFYM” wow whatan adavanced nutrition technique hahaha
Those would b Dorian style rows fyi people
About time someone told the truth (Hats off to ya’ bro!). It’s amazing how
Americans vilify folks for being honest. It’s much more conducive to have a
meaningful discussion and talk facts instead of lying and telling people
what they want to hear! How can you find the pros and cons if you sit up
there and lie and say, “I’m 100% Natural” Lifting weights isn’t Natural if
ya’ wanna get technical. Back in the 80s I did my share of D-bol and Test
and now at 51 I’m doing HGH, Peptides, Test, Deca, Equipoise ..e.t.c… My
blood work and stats are that of a 30 something! 80% of women take estrogen
and a man takes the male Hormone Testosterone and there treated like a red
headed step child! No wonder America is so full of wooses!
This was eye opening. Thanks Nick.
he said he uses 6-7 drugs. he listed at least 10. dayyyym
Is there down syndrome in you guys families?
i dont mean to be rude, but girls shouldnt lift like that they start
looking incredibly unattactive. just my opinion
Takes your workouts to the next level,
