The family “genetic disease” that must be prevented

Each baby, is a continuation of the parents’ heart and soul, and each baby, basically continues certain characteristics of the parents, such as personality, skin color, height and so on. But there is another type of inheritance that troubles parents-to-be. Which aspect of heredity is high? Which areas should be paid more attention to? Check it out! A. Allergies and asthma Heredity factor: ☆☆☆☆☆ Whether the father or mother is diagnosed with allergic asthma, the child will be more likely to be caught up in various allergic diseases, especially asthma. If only one of the mom or dad has asthma or allergies, the chances of the child inheriting it are 30 to 50 percent, but if both mom and dad have asthma or allergies, the chances go up to 80 percent. Countermeasures: Don’t neglect preconception tests during the preparation stage. If both husband and wife suffer from asthma or allergies, it is important to pay attention from the preparation stage, conceive in good health, and don’t be too psychologically burdened, although there is a chance of inheritance, it is not 100%, and there may be room to turn around. If, after delivery, it is found that the child does inherit it, then you will have to think of a countermeasure. According to the latest medical research, breastfeeding can prevent asthma and allergic rashes, so just try to breastfeed as much as possible. In addition, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, pregnant mothers/new mothers are advised not to eat peanuts and peanut products, as peanuts have the highest risk factor among allergy-causing foods. It is worth noting that if there is a family history of allergies, it is best for the future child not to eat dairy products until the age of 1, just breastfeed exclusively; not to eat egg whites until the age of 2; not to eat peanut butter and seafood until the age of 3. Second, hypertension and hyperlipidemia Heredity factor: ☆☆☆☆☆ If one of the parents suffers from hypertension or hyperlipidemia, the chances of the child being sick are 50%; if both parents suffer from hypertension or hyperlipidemia, then the chances will increase to 75%. Even if only one of the grandparents or grandparents has heart disease, the child’s chance of getting the disease is very high. Response: In the past, the misconception was that hypertension and hyperlipidemia were the “preserve” of adults. However, there are now more and more facts that remind us that these diseases can also occur in children and have a high potential to lead to heart disease in the future. Because of the possibility of passing the disease on to children, it is important for couples with high blood pressure or hypertension to take care of their health during the preconception preparation stage to minimize the impact on their future babies. We know that high blood pressure and high blood pressure are related to diet, so couples preparing for pregnancy should also pay good attention to their dietary health and exercise more to avoid excessive fat accumulation. In addition, studies have shown that breastfeeding can reduce the chances of children suffering from hyperlipidemia. So in the future, after pregnancy and delivery, we must remember to try to adhere to breastfeeding yo. Three, ear infections Heredity factor: ☆☆☆☆☆ If the mother and father have chronic ear infections, the possibility of passing them on to the child is 60% to 70%. Because the mother and father are likely to inherit the shape of the child’s face or the structure of the eustachian tube, children who get this genetic predisposition are more likely to develop middle ear infections. Countermeasures: If one of the couple preparing for pregnancy has ear infections, it is best to ensure that there is no nicotine infection in the house from the preparation stage, which means staying away from those who smoke. Not only should you not smoke, but you should also try to minimize the chances of “being inhaled” by second-hand smoke. If the woman has an ear infection, try to conceive after it has been cured so that it does not have a negative effect on the baby. If the baby is already affected, remember to remedy the situation a little with “breastfeeding”, breastfeed your child for at least 3 months, use a pacifier sparingly, try to avoid the flu every year, and encourage your child to wash his hands more often. However, do not worry too much, usually after the child is 7 years old, the phenomenon of ear infection will automatically gradually reduce. Fourth, obesity Genetic coefficient: ☆☆☆☆☆ If one of the mother and father is obese, the possibility of the child being overweight is 40%; if both mother and father are obese, then the possibility will be increased to 70%. However, even if the parents are severely obese, as long as the child has been adhering to a healthy diet and exercising, then he will be able to break the routine of inheriting the obesity gene and grow into a child of normal weight. Countermeasures: During pregnancy preparation, you must develop healthy eating habits and exercise habits, especially if you are both fat. Try to eat low-fat foods and stay away from greasy foods and high-temperature fried foods, which can easily make you “fat on fat”. It is also best to drink less sugary carbonated drinks, eat less desserts, and shorten the time you spend watching TV (no more than 2 hours a day) to keep your weight at a reasonable level at the time of conception. Of course, in order to avoid giving birth to a small fat child, you need to pay more attention to the future pregnancy. The baby is cute and chubby, but the bigger the fetus the better. You should also pay attention to weight control during pregnancy to avoid giving birth to a huge child. If both mom and dad start wearing myopic glasses at a very young age, the chances of having a child with myopia are 6 times higher compared to normal people. If the father or mother is amblyopic at a relatively young age, then the child is twice as likely to be amblyopic in the future. Response: First of all, however, you have to be prepared because there is little that can be done to relieve high myopia and correction is difficult. What you can do is to protect the fetus if once conceived, and it must start early in pregnancy. The first trimester of pregnancy is an important period from the fertilized egg to the embryo before it develops into a fetus. All the major organs of the fetal baby take shape within 12 weeks, so this is the time when you must pay special attention. Also, if not both spouses are highly myopic, then don’t worry too much. After all, the probability of heredity is not high, you just remember to do a good pre-conception checkup. If your eyes are uncomfortable you can consult an eye doctor who will help you find out if it is an invisible eye disease and give guidance. Lastly, I would like to remind you that vision is not only influenced by heredity, but also closely related to the environment and lifestyle habits later in life. Even if your baby is unfortunately a carrier of the myopia gene, but in his future growth, you can guide him to pay attention to eye hygiene, develop good eye habits, maybe his future vision is not bad!
