The fact that a pregnant woman has taken one or two cups of coffee a day, does not mean that your baby will have problems. No need to carry everything so seriously. Caffeine in small amounts will not bring problems to pregnancy, nor to the developing baby. A pregnant woman can consume up to 300 mg of caffeine per day, corresponding to four cups of instant coffee or three of pure coffee or six cups of tea or eight cans of soda, or 400 grams of chocolate. However, if a woman consumes caffeine should discuss with your doctor to know your opinion. The caffeine acts as a stimulant to the central level. The first sign of poisoning is drowsiness. In higher consumption, there is irritability, stress, headaches, gastritis and cardiac abnormalities. But for that to happen would be the mother to consume too much caffeine.

A report by the British Medical Association sheds more evidence to dispel doubts about the harmful effects of smoking. Smoking causes infertility in men and women. While those who already have children and smoke can cause serious long-term damage on the health of children .

The report compiled studies that indicate that smoking may cause male sexual impotence. This is due to “damage to the circulatory system caused by exposure to many toxins, including carbon monoxide found in cigarette smoke. “The members of the British Association are responsible to clarify that the young men who quit smoking quickly improve their potency.

With regard to the health of women, states that smokers are 50 percent more likely to have painful periods or your periods are irregular. Among women taking oral contraceptives and smoke, the risk of heart attack is 20 times greater compared with nonsmokers. Those who smoke have twice the risk of menopause come forward and be infertile.

They also emphasize the importance of quitting, “women who have stopped smoking did not take longer than women who never smoked in pregnancy.”

The health of the youngest leaves also favored. Babies of mothers who smoke are at increased risk of sudden death and lung problems. And the passive consumption of cigarettes can also cause asthma in children or increase the severity of attacks in those who already have the disease.

However, the benefits are many, both short and long term, these include the reduction of premature death and complications in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and in the case of mothers reduces the possibility that the Baby born with malformations, low weight, or sudden death.

But we must also know that leaving is not easy, both psychologically and physically, and especially in the short term can cause discomfort in people who used to smoke a lot of cigarettes for a long period of time. Therefore, these people often feel anxious at first, nervous and uncomfortable, with a higher degree of irritability, more tired and fatigued, and with a high degree of lack of concentration. At the same time as a result of this, tend to be more hungry all day, and there is another side effect , which is the fat .Many people quench their anxiety over the lack of nicotine using candies, sweets and snacks, or fast food, thereby increasing their calorie intake and gain weight.

The withdrawal therefore depend on how long you have smoked and the amount of snuff consumed daily.The effects on the psychological level are hard, because the person is facing a change in your usual behavior chart that may have been repeating for a long time (like smoking a cigarette after meals, during breaks from the office, nights out …); is the most difficult to deal with their social and emotional bonds.Therefore, it is the drink harder to overcome.As for side effects on the physical level , you begin to notice two to three days after quitting, and can last up to several weeks later.The main complaints are usually dizziness (which disappear within two days), depression, impaired sleep , insomnia and even nightmares, headaches , chronic fatigue and bad taste.

This is why most people fail in their first attempts, as the amount of side effects makes them feel vulnerable and appeal to snuff again to regain self-control and fitness, but what there is to know really go back to smoking is not the solution because the damage we are doing ourselves far outweighs the difficulties of the period of abstinence.The recommended approach is to use therapies nicotine replacement , where this is replaced by other products, without being harmful to the body, causing the same effect, such as patches or nicotine gum , making the level of the substance in the body is less and less to completely abandon its dependence .However, it should be noted that these substitutes also cause side effects such as itching, nausea, vomiting, stiffness and muscle pain, headaches and palpitations, which, if they appear, reduce the dose or change method.
