Patient discussion about restrictionism.

Q. Is exercise recommended during pregnancy, if yes, are there any restrictions during pregnancy? I am in my 13 weeks of pregnancy. I always try to keep me fit and I do cycling every morning, swimming and yoga. These days I feel my body is changing and I am feeling more tiresome and nauseated. Is exercise recommended during pregnancy, if yes, are there any restrictions during pregnancy?

A. I exercised all through my pregnancies. I only gained a total of 10-12 pounds each time. I had easy deliveries because of the exercise. This has nothing to do with nausea. I had 9 months of nausea the first time around. Don't overdo the exercise, walking is the best exercise ever, and I climbed hills and stairs and walked several miles a day. My shortest delivery time was 5 minutes. I almost did not make it to the hospital. All my babies were healthy.

Q. What actions should i take in order to keep my self in a sharp and restricted fitness control?

A. I would try some body weight circuits 3 to 4 times a week.

Q. Why should they be restricted, as many people of the world eat them and they taste really good? My grand mom is suffering from arthritis and she had almost passed a long way of her life with it. Last week when I met her she told me to avoid high fat diet, sugar rich diet, fast foods, low fat milk and any food containing nitrites. She even told to lessen in potatoes, tomatoes, egg plant and red and green bell peppers. But she strictly advised me not to have excess sugar and nitrate rich foods. She was not able to answer some of my questions such as how do these foods harm? Why should they be restricted, as many people of the world eat them and they taste really good?

A. i think that it's an ayurveda principals...two of my friends went to an ayurvedic therapist that recommended them the same thing. it's not something the western medicine recommends, high nitrite food actually known to be beneficial to the outcome of heart attacks.
