The most common occurrence of pain in his legs due to vascular diseases. This occurs because of disruption of the outflow of venous blood and hence increase the pressure in the vessels. The resulting venous congestion is a source of irritation to nerve endings and the development of pain syndrome. Most of these pains are "dumb" character, there is a heaviness in the legs. Thus, gradually developing varicose veins.

Another group of diseases that provoke the appearance of leg pain are diseases of the spine. Available in violation of the spine, for example, in the intervertebral disks, lead to the emergence of so-called "radiating pain, ie favoring a leg. The very backbone thus can not hurt. For this kind of pain can be attributed sciatica (sciatic nerve). When the disease of pain from the spine along the sciatic nerve are transmitted to the legs.

Often, leg pain associated with diseases of the joints. Pain, as it were "twisted" legs. The aggravation of the pain may occur if weather changes. On a more serious stage of joint pain may be permanent, sometimes just painful nature. Is especially true of attacks of pain in gout. Pain in the knee joint may indicate the destruction of the cartilage of the joint. But the exact diagnosis and the prescribing of drugs could make only an experienced specialist.

One reason for the constant pain in the legs is flat. This disease is manifested in fatigue while walking, feeling just a "leaden heaviness in the legs. With flat feet should be a daily focus on a special set of exercises, which is being developed by a doctor. Also, the state could be alleviated by using orthotics.

Diseases of peripheral nerves can also provoke the pain in his legs. Neuralgia pain are paroxysmal in nature and occur along the nerve fibers. In between bouts of pain is virtually absent, and the onset of pain may last from several seconds to several minutes.

The most severe pain occurs when inflammation of the muscles. Myositis - a very serious disease that should be treated under the constant supervision of a physician.

Pain in the lower extremities may be caused by such infectious disease of bones as osteomyelitis. Pain in this disease acute and prolonged. In this case, the cause of pain are the bones themselves.

In order to prevent the appearance of pain in the legs should be abide by certain rules. For example, vascular problems need to limit fat in the diet, cholesterol-rich foods, lose weight, regularly perform a special set of exercises to prevent the development of varicose veins. Try to eliminate long standing or sitting. When sitting or standing work should regularly take breaks and change positions.

If you have problems with the spine or joints is necessary to make timely treatment of these diseases, and follow the instructions of your doctor. In the troubled spine and frequent radiating pain in the legs, it is useful for regular courses of massage. Exercises aimed at strengthening the abdominal muscles leads to a decrease muscular tension and lower back tend to reduce the frequency of radiating pain.

It plays an important role in preventing anemia, gestosis, intrauterine fetal growth retardation, anomalies of labor and other complications.Under balanced diet means a full set of various food products, respectively, the term of pregnancy and the proper distribution of ration for the day. The diet is made individually, taking into account height and weight during pregnancy, fetal size, the nature of pregnancy, labor activity.

When overweight women diet should be formulated in such a way as to prevent unwanted weight gain, ie reduce the energy value (calorific) intake from carbohydrates and fats. Pregnant women with low body weight should be increased calorie intake while maintaining the required relationships between the main ingredients.

Intensity of basal metabolism during pregnancy increases by about 10%, while total energy expenditure is 2500 kcal per day, due to increased oxygen consumption and activity of the fetus. Energy costs related to the growth of the fetus, placenta, uterus and mammary glands. With the beginning of pregnancy the amount of energy required for their growth has steadily increased to 30-week period, after which there is some reduction in the required amount of energy. Additional costs arising during pregnancy, are covered mainly by fat (50%) and carbohydrates (33%). Proteins are used almost exclusively on the formation of fetal tissues, and only about 6.5% of their expenditures for energy costs.

During the pregnancy weight gain women is 11.8 kg. Most weekly gain in the first and the last 3 months of pregnancy may adversely affect the fetus. On average in the second half of pregnancy weight gain should not exceed 250-300 grams per week. The increase in body weight during pregnancy is due to fetal growth (3,5 kg), increase the weight of the uterus and amniotic fluid (1,5 kg), breast (400 g), increase blood volume and extracellular fluid (1,2-1 , 8 kg) and only 1,6 kg - at the expense of fat and other reserves of the parent organism.

An essential condition of a balanced diet is the observance of a particular diet, the violation of which not only hurts the mother, but also adversely affects the development of the fetus and newborn.

In the first half of pregnancy, nutrition, women should not differ substantially from its food prior to pregnancy. However, it should be remembered that in the I trimester is laying the fetal organs (the period of organogenesis), so at this time is particularly important is the adequate intake of pregnant proteins, vitamins, minerals.

Beginning in the early periods and during the first half of pregnancy for women of low stature (body length 150 cm) and weighing 50 kg caloric daily diet should conform 2100-2300 cal. The content of proteins in this diet is 90-100 g, fat - 55-65 g, carbohydrate - 290-320, the Caloric intake for women of average height (body length 155-165 cm) and weighing 55-60 kg should be 2400 -2700 kcal / day and the diet must include 110 g protein 75 g fat and 350 g carbohydrate. For pregnant women of higher growth (body length 170-175 cm) the energy value of daily ration should be 2700-2900 kcal / day and the diet should contain 120-125 g protein, 75-85 grams of fat and 360-400 grams of carbohydrates.

In the first half of pregnancy is physiologically the most rational mode of four meals at set hours: breakfast - 8.00-9.00; second breakfast - 11.00-12.00; lunch - 14.00-15.00, dinner 18.00, 19.00 and 21.00 - a glass of kefir.

The first breakfast should contain about 30%, second breakfast - 20% Lunch - 40% of the energy value of diet. The remaining 10% remain for dinner. After eating, active recreation. The last meal should be at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

In the second half of pregnancy further increases the need for proteins. Therefore, pregnant women with low growth energy value of daily ration should be 2400-2600 kcal / day and the diet should contain 100-110 g protein, 70-74 grams of fat and 330-360 grams of carbohydrates. Number of protein in the diet of pregnant women of average height and average weight increased to 120 g, fat 85 g carbohydrates and 400 g, the total daily nutritional pregnant during this period should be increased to 2800-3000 kcal per day. For pregnant women a high-growth energy value of the daily diet should be 3000-3300 kilocalories, protein content increased to 120-140 g, fat - up to 85-100 g, carbohydrates - up to 410-440 PM

Particular attention should be paid to the nutrition of pregnant women during prenatal leave, when changing conditions and decrease power consumption, while the energy value of food should be reduced.

In the latter half of pregnancy advisable to eat 5-6 times a day, with the maximum number - in the first half of the day. Caloric breakfast should be 30% calorie daily diet, a second breakfast - 15% dinner - 40%, snack - 5%, and dinner - 10%.

It is important to the proper distribution of products at each meal. It is known that foods rich in protein, increase the metabolism in humans, excite the nervous system, long time trapped in the stomach. Therefore, meat, fish, cereals should be included in the menu for breakfast and lunch. At dinner, should be used dairy plant food. Sumptuous meals in the evening a negative impact on health of the pregnant woman, violates the normal sleep and rest. Foods should be well cooked, tasty and fresh and not too hot. If the food a long shelf life, and then heated, it loses not only taste but also rich in vitamins. Foods should be easily assimilated by the body.

The menu is recommended that in view of the season.



On the correct selection of food and nutrition organizations can be judged by weight gain, this is followed, and she was pregnant, the doctor and midwife.

If a pregnant woman, for whatever reasons, compliance with bed rest, the energy value of food reduced by 20-40%.

The need for carbohydrates is met through foods rich in fiber (whole-grain bread, vegetables, fruits, berries), which also contain vitamins, trace elements and mineral salts.

We recommend the use of fats (up to 40% of their total number) - sunflower, corn, olive oil. From animal fat, preferably butter and ghee, not recommended for pork, beef, mutton fat, and margarine.

With the development of pregnancy increases the need for the mother and fetus in minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, etc.) and micronutrients (iron, copper, cobalt, etc.). With proper nutrition they need to be completely satisfied. Most importantly, the food was enough iron.

During pregnancy, especially useful products that contain essential protein and essential amino acids: milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, yogurt, cooked meat and fish, mild cheese. In the second half of pregnancy is not recommended dishes containing extractives (broth, spices, smoking).

Salted and spiced food (pepper, mustard, vinegar, mustard and other spices substance) is not recommended. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited: alcohol quickly passes through the placenta and adversely affects the fetus. These dietary restrictions are necessary to prevent disturbances of liver function, kidney and other organs, experiencing during pregnancy increased load.

Pregnant women are often observed constipation. In such cases, the night-day yogurt or yogurt (200 g), and fasting in the morning - raw vegetables, fruits (100-150 g prunes, apples, raw carrots), and breakfast should be after 20-30 min. In cases of extreme necessity can use an enema.

This is due to the fact that women are often at the end of pregnancy feel very thirsty and too much drinking, which contributes to the development of edema. For this reason, prohibited salty, spicy, spicy food, contributing to enhanced consumption of water.

Calcium. During pregnancy, some women go bad teeth - there is a tendency to develop caries. Sometimes women have a desire to have a lime, chalk, salt, etc. This is due to depletion of body salts of calcium and requires changes in diet, the appointment of calcium, vitamin D, iron, phosphorus, and exposure of quartz. It should be remembered that the consumption of calcium particularly increases in the second half of pregnancy (calcium consumed in the construction of the skeleton and soft tissues of the fetus). Calcium is found in cheese, egg yolks, milk. Drinking milk in quantities from 0,8 to 1,2 liters per day is usually completely meets the demand pregnant in calcium and phosphorus.
