Ladies: Good Bacteria In Yogurt May Be Good For Waistlines, Too

A probiotic commonly found in yogurt seems to help women lose more weight and fat, a recent study finds. But you still have to eat healthy to see an effect.

Ladies, if that Super Bowl Sunday pitch from '90s heartthrob John Stamos didn't leave you craving more yogurt, here's some science that might do the trick: There's tantalizing new research suggesting that some friendly bacteria commonly found in yogurts may help women shed more weight while on a diet and keep it off.

The findings, published recently in the British Journal of Nutrition, also hint at how probiotics — live cultures of supposedly beneficial microbes — in our food might be interacting with the tiny microbes that live in our guts, which may play a role in the obesity epidemic.

In the study, researchers from Universite Laval in Quebec, Canada, and yogurt giant Nestle recruited 125 obese but otherwise healthy men and women for a 24-week-long study. For the first 12 weeks, all of the subjects were put on a supervised, calorie-restricted weight-loss diet. The second 12 weeks was a weight-maintenance period: Participants got a personalized diet plan but no more calorie restrictions.

During the entire 24-week period, half the study subjects got two pills a day containing a probiotic known as Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Each pill contained roughly the same amount of this bacteria as you would get in a single serving of yogurt. The other half received placebo pills.

At the end of the first 12 weeks, the women taking the probiotics lost an average of 9.7 pounds, versus the 5.7-pound average weight loss for women taking the placebo.

But here's the kicker: During the second 12 weeks, the placebo group of women maintained their weight loss, but the women who were taking probiotics kept right on losing weight, for a total average weight loss of 11.5 pounds.

In other words, the women in the probiotics group lost nearly twice as much weight overall on average. They also lost more fat mass. What's more, women in the probiotic group also saw a 25 percent drop in their blood levels of leptin, a hormone that seems to be a key player in regulating appetite and metabolism.

While the researchers only looked at one type of probiotics, they say other probiotics found in dairy products may well have a similar effect.

So what about the fellows, you ask? The menfolk who took the probiotics didn't seem to lose any more weight than those who took the placebo.

"We don't know why the probiotics didn't have any effect on men. It may be a question of dosage, or the study period may have been too short," Angelo Tremblay, an obesity researcher at Laval who led the research, said in a statement.

One interesting difference among the genders occurred in the gut. The men taking probiotics didn't experience any significant changes in the makeup of the microbes living in their stomachs.

But it was a different story altogether in women: The probiotic treatment, the researchers note, appeared to "substantially and significantly" reduce the amount of bacteria in the Lachnospiraceae family in the ladies' bellies. Those beasties belong to a group of bacteria that have previously been linked with obesity — although, as the researchers note, scientists are still trying to pin down exactly what role they may play.

That hint that the probiotics might somehow be affecting the women's gut microbiome is intriguing. That's because in recent years, studies have shown that lean people have more species and more numbers of critters living in their gut than obese people do. And in one highly publicized study from last year, researchers were able to make mice lean or obese by altering their gut bacteria.

"The link between the gut microbiota ... and weight maintenance is very compelling," Colin Hill, a microbiologist at University College Cork in Ireland, who was not involved in the study, tells The Salt in an email.

But here's the thing: The bacteria that live in our gut are completely different from the ones we consume in yogurt or probiotic supplements. In fact, Lactobacillus and other bacteria in yogurt don't even stick around for long in our bodies after we eat them. And while evidence is growing that eating probiotics may have an overall good effect on health, researchers are still trying to puzzle out which strains might be helpful, why and how.

So what everybody in the probiotics world wants to know is: Can the party-hopping bugs in your Yoplait really influence the long-term inhabitants in your belly?

The new study has "thrown up several interesting leads," says Hill, but it really doesn't answer those big questions.

One thing that's clear, though: No matter how those friendly bugs in our food may be working, you still have to eat the right stuff to get the weight loss effect. In other words: Keep the kale salads coming; hold the burger and fries.

A picture of a crowd outside New York City’s Apollo Theater in Harlem Harlem’s iconic Apollo Theater in New York City

Harlem is one of New York City’s most diverse and vibrant neighborhoods. It has also played an extremely important part in the history of the city and the nation. During the Civil Rights Movement, Harlem hosted speakers such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, who actually lived in Harlem for some time. The neighborhood also became known for its unique culture and art. Nowadays, Harlem’s gospel choirs, Jazz music and soul food have become famous throughout the world, as has the iconic Apollo Theater.

To find out more about the neighborhood, check out our video tour of Central and West Harlem. Every year, the neighborhood’s diversity, culture and art is celebrated during Harlem Week: a unique tribute that organizes many events during the summer.

What started in the ‘70’s as just one day of celebrating Harlem has turned into an event that stretches across several weeks. In fact, this year Harlem Week events will begin July 28th 2012 and last until August 25th, for what will be the 38th year of Harlem Week.  During this period, the neighborhood’s rich African American, Hispanic, Caribbean and European history will be celebrated with events including concerts, performances, exhibitions, sports events, family programs and, of course, Jazz.

You can check out the full program at the official Harlem Week website, and we will highlight some of the summer’s main events here.

Harlem Week Events

  • Sunday July 29th will start off the family-oriented events with “A Great Day in Harlem”. From 1 pm to 8:30 pm, you can enjoy free performance showcases at the U.S. Grant National Memorial Park at West 122nd Street and Riverside Drive in West Harlem. Starting 1 pm, the National Dance Institute and Millennium Dance Company will put on a show. Then, at 3 pm, you can experience a real Harlem gospel choir performance. From 4:30 pm, a Fashion Fusion showcase will be held. The day will end with a “Concert Under the Stars” from 6 pm to 8:30 pm.
  • Saturday August 18th will be one big tribute to Bob Marley at “Summer in the City”. From 12 pm to 6 pm, there will be multiple events to take part in mostly along West 135th Street between St. Nicholas Park and 5th Avenue. There will be a free children’s festival with dance performances, theater, arts and crafts plus more interactive events. Furthermore, Jamaica’s 50th anniversary of independence will be celebrated with a huge dance block party. You can end the day with a free showing of the movie “Marley” at 7 pm at St. Nicholas Park’s Great Lawn.
  • Sunday August 19th will be the center of “Harlem Week” with “Harlem Day: Where the World Meets the World”. It is expected over 90,000 people will attend! There will be four outdoor stages where shows will be held during the day, and visitors can also enjoy displays of Harlem fashion and the famous Harlem soul food. Again, the location is 135th Street between St. Nicholas Park and 5th Avenue. Music ranging from Jazz to gospel to reggae to Hip Hop will be featured, as well as another children’s festival which will be held in the afternoon.

Around these three dates, there will be much more to see and do during the month-long tribute to Harlem. For example, the Apollo Theater on West 125th Street and 8th Avenue will hold its famous Amateur Night every Wednesday in August.

Furthermore, on Fridays in August you will have the chance to take a free guided tour at the Studio Museum on 144 West 125th Street. If you’re in New York City this summer, be sure to take a trip uptown to Harlem! You can get to the heart of neighborhood by taking the A, B, C, D, 1, 2 or 3 to 125th Street in Manhattan.

Adoption of circular economy thinking in design facilitates the optimization of material inputs and the reduction of waste during the use, pre- and post-use phases of a product or package’s lifecycle. Design principles that reduce and eliminate the waste from new and existing products include the use of renewable resources or by-products as opposed to virgin, non-renewable materials; light weighting of goods and packaging including food cans and glass and plastic bottles; the use of re-usable packaging (primary and secondary); bulk dispensing of consumables and design for disassembly which supports re-use and re-manufacture.

For the full potential of these approaches to be realized consideration must also be given to the processes which support the production, distribution, consumption and eventual disposal of products and materials. Hence, the challenge of designing out waste is not limited only to designers but rather extend to include actors throughout the value chain and cross-sectors; engineers, manufacturing plant managers, retailers, procurement and contract managers and so on. For an easy checklist of design principles, click here.

Initiatives to date include the design portfolio Celebrating Canadian design for waste prevention and systems-thinking, where an external review panel vets products and packaging that have excelled in designing out waste. In 2015 – 2016, the focus is on clarifying the murky field of compostable products and packaging. White papers and webinars help clarify terms, best practices and more.

That ‘New World’ feeling: Nina, Pinta replicas in Winona

By Danielle Wick - La Crosse Tribune

Columbus used the stars. They use GPS. Columbus’ crew slept on deck. They sleep below. Columbus and his men were on the sea for 50 days at time. They dock in a new port every few days.

The Columbus Foundation’s crew on the Pinta and Nina may not suffer as their predecessors did, but their ships are the closest replicas currently sailing the ocean blue — or, for a few weeks this summer, the Mississippi River.

The Pinta and Nina set sail in March from Gulf Shores, Ala., and made 15 stops on their way to dock Thursday afternoon in Winona.

The scale-size Nina has a 65-foot-long deck and is the most accurate copy of Columbus’ beloved ship ever built, according to Archaeology Magazine. Its traveling companion, the Pinta, is a little bit bigger than scale, with an 85-foot-long deck.

“People always ask about pirates,” Pinta senior deckhand Bradley Johnson said. “The ships were covered in tar; so since they’re black, people think they’re sinister.”

Not a single one of the seven crew members is a pirate, but the members do gain their sea legs over time. Volunteer Dave Balog, a retired electrician from Indiana, is on a three-week trip with the ships.

“It wasn’t on my bucket list,” Balog said. “But I didn’t know you could put something like this on the bucket list. When my wife saw (that people could volunteer), she said ‘This is you !’”

Band Mates Who Are Also Best Friends

If you're lucky, you'll get along with your bandmates; but if you're really lucky, you'll find your best friend for life: that one kindred spirit who makes you feel at home wherever the tour bus takes you!

The following partners-in-crime share more than just a stage: they share years of friendship with someone who allows them to unleash their inner child/rockstar. Most friendships have ebbs and flows, but the following six duos never have had a long-lasting feud. Their friendships... rock.

Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins

The energy between Grohl and Hawkins is infectious; they're like two jumping beans who move at the same time. “I’m in this huge rock band. I make way more money than I ever should make doing what I do. And I get to be in a band with my best friend,” Hawkins told Modern Drummer. Sounds ideal! Watching their synchrony in this interview with Howard Stern will put a goofy grin on your face.

Anthony Kiedis and Flea

Upcoming Events

Hey cameramen, stop cutting to the interviewer so we can focus on the the mad love between Flea and Kiedis! We’re pretty sure these two funky hooligans were separated at birth; everything about their body language in this video spells comfort. Just imagine being a fly on the wall when these wild bffs let loose in the '90s!

Bruce Springsteen and Clarence Clemons

These musical soul mates were a match made in rock 'n' roll history whose friendship delved much deeper than their careers. “My pal was a tough act but he brought things into your life that were unique and when he turned on that love light, it illuminated your world," Springsteen said in Clarence's eulogy. "I was lucky enough to stand in that light for almost 40 years, near Clarence’s heart, in the Temple of Soul.”

Iggy Pop and David Bowie

David Bowie found the Yin to his Yang with diamond-in-the-rough, Iggy Pop. Despite the contrast of their personalities, their friendship and collaboration shined as brightly as their respective careers. “[David] salvaged me from certain professional and maybe personal annihilation,” Iggy told Rolling Stone. “David’s Friendship was the light of my life.”

André 3000 and Big Boi

André and Antwan (better known as Big Boi) first met in high school, where they formed OutKast. The hip hop group may have taken a hiatus in late 00s, but their friendship never has: "We're brothers before music,” Big Boi told The Huffington Post. “We were brothers before this, and we're going to be brothers for life." Big Boi elaborates on their friendship in the interview above.

Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal

These exes maintain a healthy friendship and have been creating music together for over 25 years. Had Tony and Gwen never broken up, No Doubt's breakout album Tragic Kingdom would have had far fewer songs. Gwen penned “Cool,” a track on her debut solo album, as a tribute to her friendship with Tony. Aw!

10 Great Hangover Meals in Orange County

You already know...
You already know...

Hangovers are chaotic. For one, your head feels like it's been strangled. Your stomach is turned inside out. You're still in last night's clothes, which are imprinted by signs of too much fun (vomit). Waking up, you realize there are people you have to apologize to and things you regret. But, alas, it's time to recover--and because we don't want you to do too much thinking while in headache-mode, we created this list of hangover cures for you.

10. Hangover Burger at Plum's Cafe (Costa Mesa)

Not the hangover burger (still good though)

OC Weekly Archives

Hangover burger, meet reader. Reader, meet hangover burger. When Plum's isn't serving their alderwood-smoked salmon hash (and other pretty dishes), they're curing the intoxicated--specifically with this breakfast-plate-in-a-burger invention. With sirloin meat, fried egg, and pepper bacon, this burger is the perfect remedy for passionate carnivores.

9. Benedict Omelette from Egg Cracker (Fullerton)

10 Great Hangover Meals in Orange County
Anne Marie Panoringan

Omelets heal the inebriated. I mean, just look at that picture. Now, read Anne Marie's description of it:

Our trio ordered a sharable selection of hits, yet it was an omelette that stole the show. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill, English muffin entree. Stuffed with both Canadian and Applewood bacon, it was off to a carnivorous start. Monterey Jack joined the party, followed by a drizzle of hollandaise and chives. We didn't miss the poached part, as our eggs blended together all the flavors like a well-crafted burrito.

8. Irish Nachos at Bruxie (Multiple Locations)

10 Great Hangover Meals in Orange County
LP Hastings

Starchy carbs are every man/woman's hangover friend, so you'll need to surround yourself with a squad of potatoes (which--trust me--will look sexier than Taylor Swift's model friends when you're hammered). One of the best ways to maximize your potato intake is via the waffle fry. A great option is Irish Nachos at Bruxie: waffle fries with cheese, sour cream, bacon, and chives.

Curveballs for Jobu

Curveballs for Jobu is Off Base Percentage's daily trip around the ballparks.

Today's honorary bat boy: Steve Balboni

Willis' 4, Rockies 3. Somebody break up the Willis' (we're no longer referring to them as the "Diamondbacks"). AZ has won two straight games and Dontrelle Willis' 2nd-NL-debut went well: six scoreless innings, while Ryan Roberts pinch hit for Willis in the sixth and ripped a two-run double. Prediction: Willis goes 10-3 the rest of the season.

Reds 5, Nationals 1. This Mike Leake guy is OK. The rookie pitched seven scoreless innings to stay unbeaten at 5-0, but more importantly, 77-year old Arthur Rhodes pitched a scoreless inning to drop his ERA to 0.38, while his WHIP actually went up (.066). The Reds are a bonafide contender, mainly because no one in the NL Central is running away with anything (= terrible division).

Indians 3, Whitesox 1. Don't look now, but the Indians have won two in a row and are just a half game back of Kansas City and Seattle for worst-non-Baltimore-team in the American League. Kerry Wood, who is actually borrowing an arm from a guy named Allen (rumor), pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.

Tigers 4, Royals 2. Miguel Cabrera hit a solo home run in the sixth to snap a scoreless tie, and the Tigers added three in the eighth to stay within 3 1/2 of first-place Minnesota.

Detroit manager Jim Leyland on Cabrera:

"Great players do great things."

You're right, Jim. Also:

- Great salami makes great sandwiches
- Great match book covers make great toothpicks
- Great idiots spill great bowls of clam chowder

R/C Golf Ball

R/C Golf Incred-a-Ball (Image courtesy IWantOneOfThose.com)By Andrew Liszewski

Keeping with the R/C theme this morning there’s now a high-tech way to prank your friends during that weekly round of golf. Those exploding golf balls of yesterday are so passe, what you really need to mess with their minds is the R/C Incred-a-Ball.

The ball itself house a small motor presumably with an offset weight on the drive-shaft like is used to make cellphones vibrate. Using the included remote you can cause the golf ball to vibrate making it mysteriously fall off a tee or use it while on the green to pull off some truly amazing putts. I can only assume it’s not recommended to actually hit the Incred-a-Ball with a driver though since the internal components of the ball are probably not that durable.

The RC Incred-a-Ball is currently available from IWantOneOfThose.com for about $25.00 and includes the remote control and charging base for the ball.

Self Defense Night Stand Provides All-Around Bedside Protection

Self Defense Night Stand Provides All-Around Bedside Protection

Self Defense Night Stand

It’s important to have protection by your bedside. Not that kind of protection, in case that’s what you’re thinking. What I mean is protection for physical attacks from burglars who want to rob you dry when you’re at your most defenseless. You could get a gun, a stun gun, or stock up your bedside drawer with pepper spray.

Or you can skip the bullets and go for brute force with the Self Defense Night Stand. It’s a bedside table where the base is actually a baseball bat, and where the flat surface is actually a shield. It’s a regular old bedside table the rest of the time when all is well and good.

The way I see it, this dual-purpose table is like a cross between a novelty and something that you can actually use. While the shield might be sufficient when your attacker is only armed with a knife, you might need more than just wood to defend against a gun.

    All that is needed is to have table top made of Kevlar or other bullet proof material, there are already a few items that are bullet proof/resistant, briefcase,backpacks & clipboards & more! Why not make the table top bullet proof, how about the coffee table (could protect more than 1!), doors, I am sure other folks can come up with even more ideas. I for one like the idea of this night table, bullet proof it, make the wooden leg have it’s end capable of stunning the intruder with non-lethal 1.000.000 volts of electricity which would give you the time to get away and call authorities or just bash the head of intruder until only a body bag is needed! Just joking, stun and run is best option.

Chickpea and egg white saute with garam masala + coconut milk

Chickpea and egg white saute with garam masala + coconut milk

I’ve realized I have a somewhat obsessive personality when it comes to many things in life. Most currently: coconut. I want to eat it all the timez. I’m actually in the midst of finalizing a recipe for some bomb coconut and lemon waffles, and if the gods favor me so, should be posting later this week. I think I’ve gone through 4 revisions of the dang thing trying to get it right. Baking is sorta like a wild horse you have to tame. It goes crazy, bucking all around, throwing you this way and that, and it’s all you can do to hold on but as soon as you give it some treats and comb its hair and tell her she’s pretty, she turns all gooey on you. Or something along those lines. Anyway…

Chickpeas have always been a favorite of mine too. I think they’re pretty versatile and you can do just about anything with them, including blondies (!), which I’m determined to try sometime in the near future. The thing about chickpeas, and I mean the canned variety, is that they’re super handy and can be tossed into all sorts of things at a moments notice. This recipe just sorta happened one day when I was super starving for lunch. I wanted something creamy, nourishing, and warming. The chickpeas + coconut milk + garam masala all seemed to fit the bill. It was exactly what I needed– super earthy and comforting with just the right amount of richness from the coconut milk, and very nutritionally sound with a balanced proportion of protein to carbs to healthy fat. I am neurotic when it comes to making sure everything I eat has the right nutritional value because uh, muscles don’t grow on trees!

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it but my sister and I have formed 2missfits, a fitness Instagram account where we post workout videos, fitspo, and clean eating recipes. So if you’re into that kinda thing, swing on over and say hello!

// Chickpea and egg white sauté with garam masala + coconut milk

Serves 1 person heartily, serves 2 as a very light meal

2 teaspoons coconut butter/oil

1- 15.5 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained well

1/2 cup egg whites

1/4 cup coconut milk

1/4 teaspoon garam masala

S + P, to taste

A couple handfuls of baby spinach

Feta cheese, to sprinkle on top

Fresh cilantro, to garnish

// In a small sauté pan add the coconut butter/oil and let melt over medium heat. Tumble in the chickpeas and let them warm through, just a few minutes. Pour in the egg whites and scramble with a spatula. When they’re cooked all the way through, add the coconut milk, garam masala, s + p, baby spinach and mix together gently. Put a lid on and let this simmer for just a few minutes and to allow the baby spinach to wilt a little. Check for seasonings. Serve in a bowl and top with feta cheese and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!

Stephanie - Nicole, smoothies 24/7? Yikes! There’s no way I could do that. I find that a balanced, healthy diet is much more feasible to stick with. This lunch was really easy to whip up though and super nourishing!

Nicole ~ Cooking for Keeps - I need some of this in my life, I’m on a diet right now, and all I’ve been having are smoothies, I need something with substance that’s healthy AND delicious. This fits the bill perfectly.

Weak link between grandmums' smoking and autistic grandkids

Posted by Olderiswiser Editorial

NHS Choices' Behind the Headlines news analysis service examines the science behind claims that smoking in pregnancy can hurt your grandchildren's health.

Does smoking in pregnancy harm your grandchildren?

"Smoking in pregnancy hurts your grandkids by 'increasing their risk of autism'," The Sun brashly reports.

Researchers looked at data spanning multiple generations and reported a link between girls with autism symptoms and having a maternal grandmother who smoked.

They looked at data from more than 14,000 children, which included autism-related behavioural traits, such as poor social communication skills, and whether or not their grandmother smoked in pregnancy.

The results give quite a confusing and mixed picture. Girls whose grandmothers had smoked in pregnancy had increased likelihood of certain traits such as poor social communication skills and repetitive behaviours.

However, this link was only found if the girl's own mother had not smoked in pregnancy. And there was no such link for grandsons, although there was an increased likelihood of grandsons being diagnosed with autism if their grandmother smoked.

The study failed to look at a plethora of other factors that could potentially play a role in autism spectrum disorders. These include parent and child diet, parental alcohol consumption, exercise, weight and genetic influences.

So it's wise to interpret these results with a healthy dose of scepticism – although it remains the case that you should never smoke during pregnancy. Doing so increases the risk of stillbirth, premature birth, and the risk of the child developing asthma in later life.

Read more information about why you should stop smoking in pregnancy.

Where did the story come from?

The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Bristol and was funded by the UK Medical Research Council, the Wellcome Trust and the Escher Family Fund/Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

The study was published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Scientific Reports, and is open-access, meaning you can read it free online.

The UK media's reporting on the story was generally accurate; making it clear that the study looked at behavioural traits linked to autism and not autism diagnoses as such.

However, it was inaccurate to report that a girl would be "67 per cent more likely to suffer poor social communication skills and repetitive behaviours" if her grandmother smoked during pregnancy. This risk was only found for poor social communication skills.

And as is so often the case, the headlines were far less subtle or precise than the actual reporting, such as The Sun's "GENERATION MAIM Smoking in pregnancy hurts your GRANDKIDS".

What kind of research was this?

This was an analysis of data from a long running UK cohort study of children. Researchers wanted to explore whether a child would be at increased risk of autism if their mother or father had been exposed to their own mother's (the child's grandmother's) smoking during pregnancy.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are long-term developmental conditions characterised by difficulties with communication and social interactions and often a preference for set patterns and routines.

The cause(s) of ASD are not established. Many experts think a combination of genetic and environmental factors may be involved.

This type of research can be informative as it makes use of a very large group of people and can ask multiple questions, including about smoking, and measure multiple health outcomes, including ASD traits.

However, lots of hereditary, environmental and lifestyle factors might contribute to risk of ASD. When the causes are unknown, it is difficult to take all these factors into account and prove that a single one – in this case a grandmother's smoking – causes ASD.

What did the research involve?

The research included a large cohort of 14,062 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) in the UK.

They looked at whether the child's mother or father had been exposed to their own mother's smoking during pregnancy, and whether this child would be at increased risk of ASD.

The researchers looked at certain characteristic traits of ASD, including:

  • Social communication: assessments on a 12-point scale looking at social and communication problems.
  • Repetitive behaviour: looking at mother's response to questions such as 'how often does she/he repeatedly rock his/her head or body for no reason?'
  • Speech coherence: looking at aspects of communication including speech, ability to form sentences, and whether they interpret language too literally.
  • Sociability temperament – looking at four traits: emotional reaction, social interaction with others, shyness and sociability.

They also looked at actual autism diagnosis (diagnostic criteria not described).

They adjusted for the following potential confounders:

  • the year the grandparents were born
  • grandmother's age when the study parent was born
  • number of children the grandparents had
  • sociodemographic factors (e.g. education and occupation)
  • ethnicity
  • sex of the grandchild

They also reported on whether the child's own mother smoked or not during pregnancy.

What were the basic results?

After adjusting for confounding variables, the results showed that maternal grandmother smoking in pregnancy was linked with ASD traits:

  • Social communication: Among maternal grandmothers who smoked in pregnancy, granddaughters were 67% more likely to have a high score (odds ratio (OR) 1.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25 to 2.25). This was only found when the girl's own mother did not smoke. There was no link for grandsons.
  • Repetitive behaviour: Among maternal grandmothers who smoked in pregnancy, granddaughters were 48% more likely to have a high score (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.94). This was again only found when their own mother did not smoke, and not in grandsons.

No links were found for speech coherence and sociability temperament.

When combining all grandchildren whose maternal grandmother smoked, there was a 53% increased likelihood of them being diagnosed with autism (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.06 to 2.20). However, this particular finding was only statistically significant for grandsons.

How did the researchers interpret the results?

The researchers conclude that they found "an association between maternal grandmother smoking in pregnancy and granddaughters having adverse scores in Social Communication and Repetitive Behaviour measures that are independently predictive of diagnosed autism. In line with this, we show an association with actual diagnosis of autism in her grandchildren. Paternal grandmothers smoking in pregnancy showed no associations."

This study aimed to see whether smoking in pregnancy is linked with some traits of ASD in the smoker's grandchildren.

Although this was based on a large cohort of children, the results give quite a confusing and inconclusive picture. To be frank, the study raised more questions than it answered.

Maternal grandmother smoking was linked with ASD traits only in girls (in whom ASD is less common in any case) – and then only if their own mother did not smoke. When looking at actual diagnosed cases of autism, the link was only found in boys.

The study had some important limitations to consider:

  • Most of the data was on behavioural traits, not actual diagnosed ASD, which cannot necessarily be directly linked with autism diagnoses.
  • The causes of ASD aren't known. Although the researchers attempted to adjust for some confounding variables, many other environmental and lifestyle factors could be having an influence.
  • ASD traits and autism diagnoses were only found when their own mother had not smoked in pregnancy – which indicates that it might not be smoke exposure that directly increases risk of ASD.
  • The results rely on reports from parents on their own parents, which may have been subject to recall bias if they could not remember all the facts. Some may not have known with certainty if their own parents had smoked during pregnancy.
  • Although it was a large sample, it was not very diverse with most grandparents assessed being of a white ethnic background. This may make findings less relevant to other ethnic backgrounds.

Overall, the mixed findings of this study do not provide any further answers to the causes of ASD.

What is known with certainly is that smoking in pregnancy increases the risk of stillbirth and premature birth, and later in the child's life sudden infant death syndrome and asthma.

!! OMG, he’s naked: Sid Vicious !!

Sex Pistol Sid Vicious apparently wasn’t shy about showing his sex pistol. I know…obvious joke, right?
I’m still mourning the fact that Courtney Love didn’t get to play Nancy Spungen in Sid & Nancy. I mean, she is Nancy Spungen. Or at least was. Or at least wanted to be. Anyway, see the NSFW pic of Sid from Playgirl after the jump.
Thanks to CB for the tip.

A Movie We Must See - MOTHERHOOD

Okay, I swear, after watching the trailer for this movie, I think that a camera has been following me around (only minus two kids) on select parts of this trailer. This movie is something that I know my husband will appreciate and I was so excited about it, I called my mom & sister to tell them about it.
To find out more about this UPCOMING movie, please check out:
Who knows, maybe I'll get to blog about being part of their opening night in NYC? That'd be awesome!

"Everything's Bigger & Better In Texas"

That motto makes me giggle a little! My parents & sister live in Texas. People who live in Texas a true believers of this motto. In fact, my husband & I even lived in San Antonio for a few years and we heard all about it while we were there. One thing I know...Texans are truly proud of their cowboy heritage. Here's a company that is proof of exactly that!

Gypsy Soule was started as a business that put studs and jewels on cowhid flip flops. From there, it has taken off to be a fashion line, a jewelry line, they have hats, bags, etc. These are products that even celebs appear to be falling in love with and I can see why. Billy Ray Cyrus, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and more love Gypsy Soule. Watch out, cause GYPSY SOULE is going to be HUGE (it's already pretty big).

I got the TREMENDOUS pleasure of reviewing a few of their "Jewels for your Soule" jewelry. All I can say is that I was blown away when the package came in the mail.

I received their amazing bangle bracelets. 13 bracelets all in amazing rustic fashion. Silver, Copper and even a brash Gold were included. They are "heavy duty" too (not lightweight) and definitely not bendable. All I can say about these bracelets are...they are 100% amazing! Seriously! I also received their Gypsy Soule Pearl Rosary Cross Necklace. It's beautiful! The little pearl beads, the turquoise cross (I love turquoise and the symbol of the cross) and even the little catholic medalions are missing no detail to make this an exquisite piece of jewelry. I LOVE IT! If you have not been to their website yet, you need to check out Gypsy Soule. My neice, who is totally into horses, will love this store to pieces. She will want one of their Jeweled Halters for her horse, etc. I could seriously see her racking up quite a bill, picking out everything she sees.

Gypsy Soule is also on twitter , facebook , and myspace
I cannot thank Gypsy Soule enough for my new amazing pieces of SOULEFUL jewelry! I love them and will wear them with pride! Who knows, I may have the same bracelet or necklace that one of the celebs is wearing around L.A. right now! LOL!

Feeling Overwhelmed...

Do you ever have one of those days when you feel overwhelmed? I am overwhelmed with emotion today for some reason! I'm not sure what is going on...surge in hormones maybe (I'll blame it on the weaning)? But I wanted to express to you, my loyal readers, how astonished and amazed I am by this blogspot. I am "OVERWHELMED WITH APPRECIATION" for making it so much more than just a typical review blogspot.What started out as a means of keeping me mentally sane last winter, after we had moved cross country & I left all my friends behind, has become such an amazing treat and blessing for our family. Being a stay at home mommy can sometimes make you feel, less than appreciated (those of you that are, know what I mean). I have always enjoyed being a cheerleader. A cheerleader in high school, a cheerleader to my kids and now I get to be a cheerleader for products that my family loves.

But it's even more than that...I have met some amazing people online through this blogspot. People who I have built relationships with that goes beyond BLOGGING.

I feel respected & appreciated, which I think gives me a boost on days when my kids are fighting non-stop and I am not in the mood to clean the house or do the laundry.

So I guess, I just needed to say thank you! Thank you to my 676 followers on here and my 2591 that follow on twitter (OVERWHELMED WITH GRATITUDE)! You guys make my day! The comments on my blogspot make me smile & I know that this blogspot is not only making a difference for the companies I am telling you about, but for you, the reader, as well. Hopefully I have enlightened you onto products that you didn't know existed, but now cannot live without.

So thank you for making me feel overwhelmed today!

An Organized Purse? Yeah right!

How many women do you know that have a completely organized, everything in it's place, trash free & crumb free purse? Well...I'll be honest, I'm jealous if you do! If you looked in my purse, you'd probably be horrified to see what you would find in there. My purse tends to be the carry all for the whole family. I have diapers, I have wipes, I have cancer sore medication, I have business cards, an overflowing wallet (not full of money but other things), lip glosses, little cars, hair pretties, etc. You get the idea! My purse is FAR FROM organized and I NEED A LOT OF HELP if it's ever going to be even close to organized!!

Joey Junior makes a few products to help in that area. They make "The Original Purse Organizer", which is a product I think that every woman can use for their purse. Have a look:

They also make the "Mini Purse Organizer" for smaller purses or for part of the purse that requires a little more attention to detail. You know, for all those lip glosses, business cards, etc.

Then they have the "Foldable Purse Hanger", which helps keep your purse germ free and off the ground when you go to a restaurant to eat. It is easy to use and is compact, so carrying it with you is not a chore.
As Christmas is approaching, I truly believe these are the type of gifts that any female in your life would enjoy using. The Joey Junior Products come in array of colors & fabric types and I am sure they would have something to suit that "special person" in your life.
Head over there now...and don't forget to pick out your special gift with the purchase of $50 or more...

Let the Countdown Begin...

So, as little kids in school, we used to make chains to count down how many days till Christmas. Do you remember? I always loved that idea, because it helped us, as little kids, really understand the concept of time and days. Wouldn't this be a fabulous idea for a business? already is:
For only $14.95, you can purchase a Big Day Chain kit that contains everything you need to make a 30 day "special occasion" count down chain. Made of high quality, perforated paper links & glue dots, you and your children can assemble this chain in only a few minutes and enjoy the excitement on your kids faces as you let the countdown begin. Countdown till their birthdays, countdown until the new baby is coming, etc. You get the idea! Awesome project for you & your kids to spend a little quality time putting together and then taking apart, day by day.

If you use the code FALLISHERE, you can save an extra 20% off on everything. YAY! So head over to Big Day Chains and pick up a few for your those "special" days that are worthy of a countdown for your family!

My 1st Official BLOGHER 2010 Sponsor Confirmed...

I am so excited...I can barely write this because I am still giddy from the e-mail I received! I got my first official BLOGHER 2010 Sponsor. And they are so generous, they are paying for my entire BLOGHER 2010 ticket to attend the entire conference...which means I only need to find sponsors for two nights of lodging, maybe some of my wardrobe (cause I have to look good, right?) and my train ticket from here to Grand Central Station.
Oh My Gosh! Seriously...I can't thank Noodle Head Fun & their amazing PAWPARAZZI pets (my daughter's favorite toys & theme of her upcoming 6th birthday party) enough for being my sponsor...and my very 1st one at that! I am honored and will hopefully do them proud, representing them at the conference!

Looking For A Place Where You Can Help Design Your Kids Clothes?

Yes, that's right. Even though you may not have the ability to sew or create your own personal clothing line...I came across a company that allows you to be the FASHION DESIGNER, of sorts, and create some clothing for your kids that is truly authentic & just what You want!

Yes, Sweet Funky Vintage offers already made boutique clothing (for those of us lacking even the desire to be creative, and instead allow them to put together the fabrics to make something amazing), but they also have a function on their site that allows you to pick the style, the fabric & the intricate details that will make it your very own "custom" creation! Isn't that cool? I have a feeling there is a little "fashion designer" in each of us mommies (and even grandma's and aunts) that would love to create something special for those "little ones" that we love to dress.

Because of that, you're probably thinking about your children's wardrobe for these events, right? Ughh...the daunting task of finding exquisite outfits for your little ones. Outfits that will attract all the positive attention they can get, while at the same time, not affect your pocketbook immensely, right?

I Have A New Way Of Keeping Tabs On Our 1 Year Old's Location In The House...

As most of you know, we have a very active, quick & curious 1 year old in our house that is not just walking, but running around everywhere. Everytime I go through this stage with my kids, I have moments where I truthfully feel like I am going to pull every single hair in my head out. LOL! Keeping tabs on where he is all day long & what he's into, is a full time job, all in itself! Truthfully! Just ask my husband! Having to watch him for even an hour (so I can have a break) is quite a chore.

Because he's into everything...which can be good or bad, I love to have a way of knowing where he is...even if I can't keep my eye on him at that particular moment. But what type of product could help me do this?

Squeaky Shoes 4 Tots offers a great assortment of "SQUEAKY SHOES", which are perfect for my radar dectection as to where our 1 year old is, in the house, when I can't be with him at that exact moment. These shoes are not only darling, but they squeak when the child walks on them, making a noise that even the doggies enjoy! LOL! Yes, it can be a little much, at times, if your little one is constantly on the go...but it's also an amazing tool for making sure they stay out of harms way, when you are in the middle of something. And yes, the squeaking device can be removed from these shoes, making them normal "adorable" everyday sneakers...if you've had enough of the squeak! LOL!

Our little guy has a very big intrigue with the stairs (as I am sure most kids do). Nothing scares me more, than the thought of him rolling down them. He's really good at climbing them, and not so good coming down...and he is stealthy & silent when he climbs. Since there are three other kids in the house, that sometimes remove the baby gate from the stairs...having these shoes on him...will allow me to hear him climbing & run to grab him, before an accident occurs. LOVE IT!
video Our 1 year old didn't seem to mind the squeaky sound at all, in fact, I think he sort of enjoyed hearing himself walking! LOL! They come in lots of adorable designs for both boys an girls and could, quite possibly, make your job a lot easier when it comes to keeping tabs on them during the day. video

Sqeaky Shoes 4 Tots is offering a gift certificate to (1) Lucky One Bored Mommy Viewer, so they can pick out their favorite pair of Squeaky Shoes for their little one!

To Enter This Giveaway:

  • 1st - Head over to their site at & tell me which pair is your favorite

11 Tips for Better Digestion from Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic Medicine offers many easy and natural ways to improve your digestion. Ayurveda is the traditional system of medicine originally from India and now practiced worldwide both traditionally and in Integrative Medicine. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term meaning the ‘Science of Perfect Health’ and literally translates as ‘Knowledge of Life’. Ayurveda seeks to bring us back into balance by providing guidelines for living in harmony with nature’s rhythms so that the underlying wisdom of the body can naturally promote the reestablishment of health and homeostasis. Ayurveda helps us move from disharmony, dysbiosis, and disease to harmony, homeostasis, and health.

Most Americans suffer from mild digestive disturbances such as constipation, gas, bloating, diarrhea, heartburn, and heaviness after eating, and many endure more serious conditions. Ayurvedic Medicine interprets the mild digestive disturbances as warning signs from the body that imbalance has begun and thus seeks to intervene at this very early stage of disease to prevent the manifestation of disease. Ayurveda offers simple remedies that are healthy lifestyle changes to be easily practiced at home. Ayurveda focuses on what food is eaten, when food is eaten, and how food is eaten.

Both what we eat and what we actually digest are equally important. Those suffering from digestive disturbances are not obtaining the full benefit of the nutrients in the food that they are eating, new bodily tissues are built less strong and healthy, and undigested food particles can lead to inflammation and gut dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in the ratio of health-promoting bacteria to unbeneficial bacteria living in the gut. In terms of what you eat, care should also be taken to eat fresh, whole, and, if possible, organic foods. Importantly, how you eat also plays a key role in determining what you will digest and assimilate.

woman sunset ocean beach one great gut Ayurvedic Medicine Dr. Christine Tara PetersonThe act of eating is both spiritual and life sustaining. The food we take into our bodies will be broken down and used as building blocks for new parts of our bodies. It is a spiritual process in that the molecules in the food have been around since the beginning of time, recycling, and thus connecting us to all that ever was, is, and will be. From this perspective, we can begin to perceive eating as a meditative or contemplative experience, which also calms the body to ensure healthy digestion.

Here are some Ayurvedic Guidelines for Healthy Eating to help improve your digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination:

1. Eat only when you are hungry. This ensures that your prior meals have digested so that your new meal will be digested and absorbed without the formation of any toxins from undigested food particles.

2. Eat food in a calm setting. Your environment can help or interfere with your digestion, especially if eating on the go, standing up, in the car, or in a chaotic environment. Ideally, find a calm space that is free of clutter and contains some beauty. Some ideas include clearing the table of items and adding some fresh wildflowers or a colorful table runner. Sit down to eat.

3. Eat free from distractions. When the mind is distracted, food is often chewed improperly. If you must eat in the car, pull over to eat. Put your devices away and shift your focus to the experience of eating and chewing thoroughly to support digestion.

4. Take 3 deep breaths before you eat. This time allows you to stop your activity which interferes with digestion, relax, and connect mindfully to your food. This can also serve as an opportunity to say a prayer, affirmation or take some additional moments of silence in gratitude for the food itself and those that brought it to you.

5. Eat with a peaceful mind frame. It is best to be in a peaceful mind frame for optimal digestion. If you choose to speak with others, keep the conversation light and avoid heated topics such as politics. Feeling very stressed, angry or otherwise disturbed while eating will interfere with key digestive processes. Thus, skip the meal or meditate first if you are feeling very agitated during a mealtime.

6. Food should be eaten warm. Ayurveda recommends that most of your food be served warm since cooking renders food more easily digested and absorbed. Cold foods weaken the digestive fire which can lead to the formation of toxins from undigested food. A Western scientific interpretation of this concept relates to the fact that enzymes such as digestive enzymes tend to be more efficient at warmer temperatures.

7. Do not drink cold beverages and take only little liquid with meals. As mentioned, temperature matters in terms of the efficiency of digestive enzymes so be sure to steer clear of cold drinks or ice with meals. Ideally, do not eat or drink anything straight out of the refrigerator. Drinks also weaken the digestive fire by diluting the digestive enzymes with liquid. Taking ½ cup warm or room temperature water with meals, if needed, is ideal. Wait at least ½ hour after eating before drinking larger quantities.

8. Chew, chew, chew. Chew food to an even consistency. Digestion begins in your mouth as salivary enzymes are released. Ayurveda also teaches that the six tastes are important for balancing our health and interestingly Western science has discovered taste receptors similar to those on the tongue within our gastrointestinal tract.

9. Eat food that is oily or moist. Oily and moist foods provide more nourishment to the body compared to dry foods, which are difficult to digest and eliminate. Food that is overly oily is also difficult to digest, thus food should be moderately oily or moist.

10. Eat only until you are 75% full. This one can be quite a challenge especially when delicious food is in front of you but is worth practicing. Overeating overwhelms the digestive system and enzymes and leads to poorly digested food and toxicity. Ayurveda suggests eating until no longer hungry but satisfied. Anti Aging science also tells us that an easy way to extend our lives and promote healthy aging is to eat less. Another major benefit is that the mind and body will feel much lighter after eating.

11. Rest after meals. It is common to go right back to activity after eating. However, this productivity and movement interferes with digestion and our bodies’ ability to stay in the ‘rest and digest’ mode. We want to rest for at least a few minutes after eating for maximum absorption of nutrients. One hour is ideal according to Ayurveda; however, even 15 minutes of rest will provide much benefit. Another trick is to lie on your left side for 15 minutes to allow your digestive juices to pool and increase the rate of digestion.

Your Ayurvedic Practitioner can also prescribe digestive herbs and diet per your unique constitution in a personalized way to target your unique digestive make-up as well as any imbalances. In addition to how to eat, when to eat and not to eat is also vital for digestive health, and your practitioner can also advise you on this aspect of eating.

One Great Gut Dr. Christine Tara Peterson Beach Woman SexyFor best results, slowly incorporate 1 or 2 changes at a time into your daily regimen. This will prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by change and ensure that the changes you make are sustainable. My patients often report significant improvements in digestion and elimination after incorporating even one of these changes consistently. For example, some patients report less bloating after giving up cold drinks while others report less constipation after eating until 75% full. It is well worth slowly working towards eating in this way given the abundant returns.

When food is eaten properly, the body, mind and spirit enjoy balance and ease of well-being. Enjoy these simple tips to enjoy your optimal health and well-being today!

Dinner Rolls

Here is the recipe I use for dinner rolls. I have been told it is pretty good. It is modified from a recipe taken from one of the cooking classes Nicole took at Ricks College.

Dinner Rolls

8 C flour
1/3 C sugar
3 beaten eggs
1 T salt
2 C milk, scalded
3 T yeast (eyeball it)
1/2 C warm water
1/2 C butter (1 stick)

The mantra of this recipe is "don't kill the yeast." With that in mind, turn your oven on to 350.

Mix the yeast and water. Set aside. Don't let it get cool. The yeast is helped if you sprinkle a pinch of sugar in it.

Scald the milk. Add the butter, salt and sugar. Let it cool. The butter should be melted. If it is too hot, it will kill the yeast. You should be able to stick your finger in and keep it in (100-115 degrees or so).

Combine the milk and yeast mixtures. Let it sit for afew minutes. It is done when the yeast starts to bubble a bit. Add the beaten eggs to the milk and mix well.

Start adding flour a bit at a time. I use the kitchenaid for this (warm the kitchenaid bowl in the oven--not too hot!). Add flour until the mixture is right (takes practice). For me, 8 cups does it. Others will need more or less. The rule is that when the dough stops sticking to the side of the bowl, it has the right amount of flour.

Put the dough into a large greased bowl. Turn once and cover. Set the bown on top of the warm oven and let the dough rise for 50-60 minutes. Then punch it down and begin rolling it into small balls. Place these in the dishes you plan to cook the rolls in. Grease or oil them first.

Let rise for another 50-60 minutes. (This takes practice too. Basically, when the dough has rised "enough" it is ready to cook.) I use glass dishes to cook them in. 20 minutes usually does it, but the bread is done when the tops are golden-brown.

Makes 2-3 dozen rolls.

‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay’ seems to be filming at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta tonight

It feels like we're having Déjà vu.

Just about one year ago we were hearing reports that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was filming in the Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta and now it looks like they are back!

One of our Twitter followers, @emileerocks13, just sent us the above photo and let us know that Mockingjay was setting up to shoot a scene in the hotel.

We also spotted this tweet earlier today from Washington Times Reporter Brian McNally:

Random guy in Marriott Marquis elevator says they're filming scenes for new Hunger Games here tonight. Source SEEMS legit. I'm running w it.

So, it sounds like they're revisiting another Atlanta location!

Exercise to Tone Your Legs during Pregnancy

Like onlymyhealth on Facebook!

The legs undergo a lot of wear and tear during pregnancy. As the belly grows, the pressure on the joints and the muscles tends to grow at an alarming rate. During pregnancy, it is important to exercise your legs so that you can avoid problems that arise due to water retention and swelling due to fatigue.

Exercises to Tone your Legs during Pregnancy

Yoga during Pregnancy

Yoga is recommended for all people as its basic tenet is to increase the flow of oxygen to the body and to revitalise one’s body and mind. Yoga during pregnancy is a great way to keep fit. Try yogic postures such as the warrior pose. For the warrior pose, stand straight with your legs apart. Now pivot your feet to the right side. After that turn your body to the right side and then lift your arms to shoulder height and bend your knee. Breathing in and out and hold this pose for some time. Then repeat on the other side. The best thing for you will be to consult a prenatal yoga specialist who will be able to guide you through pregnancy exercises for the legs.

Aerobics during Pregnancy

Aerobic exercises are a great way to maintain fitness during pregnancy. Walking, running and cycling will keep the blood flowing through your legs and will help in easing off the pressure that they feel during pregnancy. Try brisk walking by starting at a slow pace and then increasing the intensity. Uphill walking and cycling are other great pregnancy exercises to tone the legs. Swimming is also a great exercise option during pregnancy. To tone your legs, while swimming do some extra kicks in the water. The resistance offered by the water will strengthen your calf muscles. However, remember never to overexert yourself. Always exercise in the presence of someone such as a family member or a qualified professional.

Weight Training during Pregnancy

Although you might think that weight training during pregnancy to tone the legs is a strict no, no; it is actually prescribed. However, you have to remember that your body cannot stretch itself to the same level as before pregnancy. Rope in a weight trainer and begin by doing mild weights. You can increase the number of repetitions to increase the resistance of your leg muscles. Keep yourself hydrated during weight training and take frequent breaks.

Home Exercises to Tone your Legs

You can exercise in the comfort of your home to tone your legs during pregnancy. Try squatting exercises. You can also lie on level ground; turn to one side keeping your legs together and then lift one leg. This will help the legs relax and will also increase the flow of blood. Another exercise to tone your legs during pregnancy is to stand with one foot in front of the other. The distance between your feet should ideally be about 12 inches. Then bend your knees and lower your body. Hold the position and then return to the standing posture. Repeat the exercise for some time.

You can flaunt toned legs during pregnancy but doing these exercises. However, remember that your heart heat cannot go above 130 beats a minute. Also remember that strenuous exercise will heat your body and will restrict the flow of oxygen to the foetus.

Prognosis of Hypothyroidism

By  , Expert Content
Mar 19, 2012

Subscribe for daily wellness inspiration

Like onlymyhealth on Facebook!

Thyroid hormone is an essential hormone in the body. It affects many physiological functions of the body. In children, it affects the growth and development of the brain and body. If the level of thyroid hormone is decreased (that is you develop hypothyroidism), your body gets affected. It can cause symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, depression, dry skin and brittle nails, not being able to stand the cold (cold intolerance), constipation, memory problems or having trouble thinking clearly, heavy or irregular menstrual periods etc. Hypothyroidism is a preventable cause of mental retardation in children.

Prognosis of hypothyroidism

Symptoms develop and progress slowly. Most patients with mild hypothyroidism may have no signs or symptoms. Signs and symptoms become apparent mostly when the condition worsens. Being watchful of the symptoms can help to diagnose the condition early and treat it appropriately.

Hypothyroidism cannot be cured, but is easy to treat. Most of the patients can be managed appropriately with medications though most people with hypothyroidism need life-long medications. Treatment for hypothyroidism is very successful as each dose of synthetic thyroxine is active and available for the body for a very long time (about 7 days). Therefore, the level of T4 in your blood remains steady and this gives a constant supply of T4 to your body’s cells.

People with very severe hypothyroidism may develop a life-threatening coma known as myxedema coma if they are not treated.  In most cases of severe hypothyroidism, myxedema coma is triggered by severe illness, surgery, stress or traumatic injury. Unlike most people with hypothyroidism, who can be treated on outpatient basis with oral medications, a person with myxedema coma requires hospitalisation and immediate treatment with thyroid hormones given by injection.

If hypothyroidism is not diagnosed and treated in children, it can lead to impairment of growth and development of brain and body. Hypothyroidism is a common and preventable cause of mental retardation in children.
