Women who exercise during pregnancy reduce diabetes risk

The earlier a pregnant woman exercises, the more healthy benefits you will get.

A study has just revealed that those pregnant women who begin to exercise from the 3rd month of gestation, reduce the risk of diabetes and increase the probability of maintaining their weight after pregnancy.In addition, the exercise in pregnancy benefits the health of the fetus, so the baby is born healthier.

Of course, there is talk of a moderate exercise, it is not about exercising until the last drop.What is a fact, is that exercise reduces up to 30% the chances of developing gestational diabetes, and more if they do it throughout pregnancy.

Activities such as swimming or walking at a light pace are the most recommended because the body does not suffer from great impact

The results of the 13 studies carried out by Dr. Gema Martínez-Sanabria of the Virgen de la Luz de Cuenca Hospital, Spain, involve 2,873 women who, despite doing little or no exercise, began to do so after becoming pregnant.

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a serious condition that affects between 1% and 14% of women, which lead women to develop dangerously high blood pressure, generating premature births or caesarean section.Babies of women who exercise during pregnancy tend to weigh a kilo less than moms of moms who do nothing.

The earlier exercises during pregnancy, the greater the benefits.Women who are pregnant and have never exercised should do no more than 15 minutes three times a week until you get 30 min sessions a day.
