Other factors also affect a person’s Vitamin D levels, said Shim. These include being post-menopausal and above 70 years old, having poor kidney function, being obese, and having medical conditions such as lymphoma or parathyroid disease (where the parathyroid gland becomes enlarged).
Have you ever come across the term Vitamin D deficiency? It turns out that pregnant women in Singapore are experiencing a shortfall in this essential micronutrient. Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, bolstering the immune system, and plays a pivotal role in the well-being of both mother and fetus.
This revelation stems from a comprehensive study conducted across multiple countries, encompassing 1,700 women aged between 18 and 38 from Singapore, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom (UK).
WHY SINGAPORE WOMEN ARE DEFICIENT IN VITAMIN D
Jennifer Shim, a senior dietitian at Parkway East Hospital, said people should get at least five to 30 minutes of sun exposure, at least twice a week. The Singhealth website advised letting the sun shine on your arms and legs, between 10am and 3pm.
The reason we’re not getting at least this amount of sun exposure is our sun-protection behaviour.
“Using sunscreen, umbrellas, staying indoors or seeking shade, as well as wearing long sleeves, can block the source of Vitamin D production from sunlight,”
VITAMIN D AND GETTING PREGNANT
Vitamin D plays a significant role in influencing the ovarian processes responsible for egg production and release for fertilization. Dr. Han How Chuan, an obstetrician and gynecologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, highlights that research on Vitamin D and assisted reproductive treatments indicates that deficiency in this micronutrient can serve as a risk indicator for decreased fertility.
Dr. Han further notes that women undergoing assisted reproductive treatments, who maintain sufficient levels of Vitamin D, exhibit a higher live birth rate compared to those who are deficient or insufficient in this vitamin.
Despite these findings, routine screening for Vitamin D deficiency is not standard practice, neither during pregnancy nor for those attempting to conceive. Dr. Han explains that while studies have identified a high prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women, many of them still proceed to have healthy pregnancies.
HOW MUCH VITAMIN D IS ENOUGH?
The Health Promotion Board (HPB) advises that pregnant or breastfeeding women should aim for a daily intake of 10mcg or 400 IU of Vitamin D, whereas the recommended dietary allowance for non-pregnant women and men is 2.5mcg or 100 IU per day.
According to Shim, these recommended amounts are tailored for individuals residing in Singapore, given its tropical climate and consistent, strong sunlight exposure throughout the year.
Trong trường hợp phụ nữ mang thai được xác định là thiếu Vitamin D, Tiến sĩ Han lưu ý rằng Trường Cao đẳng Sản phụ khoa Hoa Kỳ khuyến nghị lượng tiêu thụ hàng ngày cao hơn từ 1.000-2.000 IU (hoặc 25–50mcg), được coi là an toàn.

O jornalista Waldyr Silva, 72 anos de idade, lança neste sábado (4), a partir das 19 horas no auditório da Câmara Municipal de Parauapebas, seu livro de poemas denominado “Ventania…”, impresso pela Editora Kelps, de Goiânia (GO).
O livro poético de Waldyr Silva é a terceira obra dele como membro da Academia Parauapebense de Letras, onde ocupa a cadeira nº 3, que tem como patrono o escritor e poeta pernambucano Manuel Bandeira.
A primeira obra, lançada em 2021, foi “Crônicas póstumas de PC Reis”, uma coletânea de crônicas deixadas pelo saudoso Pedro Cláudio Reis, que era conhecido no mundo literário como “PC Reis”, e um dos fundadores da Academia de Letras do Sul e Sudeste Paraense, com sede em Marabá.
O segundo livro foi a “Antologia – Construção de um ideal” (2022), de autoria de vários autores, na qual Waldyr Silva participa com seis poemas de sua autoria.
Falando especificamente de “Ventania…”, o livro tem 118 páginas e 50 poemas exclusivos composto pelo autor com os mais variados temas, como paixão, saudade, desilusão, dúvidas, amor e natureza.
““Ventania…” é um livro que nos convida a sentir, a questionar e a mergulhar na essência da existência…”, diz trecho de uma das “orelhas” da obra, acrescentando que, através dos poemas, “o autor nos presenteia com sua visão poética única, despertando em nós um caleidoscópio de emoções e ressignificando nossa relação com um mundo ao nosso redor”.
O prefácio do livro é assinado pelo CEO do Portal de Notícias Pebinha de Açúcar, jornalista Bariloche Silva, que seguiu os passos do pai, Waldyr Silva.
“As palavras que permeiam as páginas da obra são como pinceladas de sentimentos profundos, entrelaçando amor, desilusão, paixão, saudade e a própria essência da natureza. Cada poema é um convite para uma viagem ao âmago da alma humana, despertando sensações que nos levam a refletir sobre a existência e nossas próprias experiências”, escreveu Bariloche Silva, no prefácio de “Ventania…”.
