Claudio and Carol explain why exercise during pregnancy matters. Not moving increases risks of gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. Diet plays a role too, but staying active is key.
What exercise can and shouldn't a pregnant woman do? You can mainly do aerobic exercise, which includes walking, swimming, running, steppers, elliptical trainers and long term exercises for large muscle groups. You can also do strength training and muscle strengthening, such as weight training, bodyweight training, equipment and accessories. Yes, we need muscle during pregnancy.
Without a doubt. It's what sustains us. Right?
Okay. Can I run while pregnant? Yes, you can, but it depends. You know that famous saying, you can, but it depends. It's not prohibited. It won't harm your baby. It won't interfere with implantation, it won't shake or cause water to rupture. That doesn't happen. We take certain precautions regarding our bone, musculoskeletal and pelvic floor health, which, with the help of a pelvic physiotherapist, is possible. So much so that we're now experiencing a transformation from a country of soccer to a country of street running. Indeed, many women are running and runners today want to remain active during pregnancy. Yes, it's one thing to run before pregnancy and continue running during pregnancy. It's another thing to say, oh, I'm afraid of gaining weight, so I'm going to start running. That's another story. Right? This can even be done as guidance, as if she has a good professional assisting her, A prenatal team providing support. That's possible, right, Carol? We learn. The pregnant woman learns too. But now when we talk about a large population that sometimes doesn't have, you know, this support, Go for walks, walks at a moderate intensity. Exercise to get your heart beating. The pregnant woman may get slightly breathless. That's good.
It's necessary. Right? That's it. Okay. So exercise is. With guidance. We can say that. Exercise with guidance. Right. It will be the best way. Now not exercising for me is a huge problem.
Exactly. A sedentary lifestyle. Not exercising. A sedentary lifestyle during pregnancy is very serious. It's very serious because we already have a 39% prevention rate for gestational diabetes in women who exercise from the first trimester. Repeat this information. 39% Prevention of gestational diabetes in pregnant women who regularly exercise from the first trimester and 47% reduction in blood pressure and high blood pressure for pregnant women who exercise.
In other words, if I start a pregnancy, and by the way, if I start a pregnancy and don't exercise, the invitation is already made. You'll have less chance of developing high blood pressure and more chance of regulating your glucose. Right. Whether you exercise or not. But if you don't, then I Increase the chance of having high blood pressure and seasonal diabetes. You know, Claudio, I started following you when I Learned about my 92.92 glucose level. Until then, my doctor explained if I weren't pregnant. Okay, alert, but pregnant, I couldn't maintain it. So this information is very accurate. For you who are listening to us, check your glucose levels, because depending on your age and your stage in life, it's not coherent to maintain that pattern. So you'll look for foods with less sugar, less carbohydrates, and you have to do physical activity. But. Okay. Right. Physical exercise combined with diet is the first line of treatment for seasonal diabetes. Okay, so since I mentioned food, I'll go back to Carol now. Well, when you mentioned food. Oh, but now I'm pregnant. I need to eat for two. There are days when I feel hungry. Huh? From other lives. Right. It's not just mine and Antonio's. It's from other lives. Feeling very hungry. It's normal some days.
Some.
Some days. Not every day.
I used to feel hungry. Very hungry every day. But I made good food choices.
That's not what I want to leave for women. We feel very hungry every day. I think the vast majority of pregnant women feel very hungry. We're building a little being there, Right.
It's completely powerhouse, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's running at full steam. It has to be fueled, but it has to be quality fuel. So I feel like a lot of women end up. So I'm going to let it all out. I'm going to eat everything. And then they eat a bag of chips that don't sustain, that don't nourish, that don't satisfy. So let's eat a plate of rice, beans, meat.
So the other day, I was having an anxiety attack, and I finished off a bag of bacon bits.
Yum.
Which I love, too. Who doesn't like? I'm speaking Portuguese here, of course. Okay.
Judge throw stones. It's okay. And then I told my husband, I said, uncle, I've had a blast with bacon bits. I love chips. There's a paternal connection. There's an emotional memory. Something. Right.
We came for my bacon bits.
Bacon bits. Bacon bits. Chips. Well, chips. Chips in general.
