Bayer Healthcare's Elevit® Preconception Care Seminar
Bayer Healthcare, known for its premium prenatal supplement
Elevit®, conducted an online seminar about preconception care specifically for the employees of Cleo Co., Ltd. This initiative underlines their commitment to providing medical education to prospective parents. The session featured Dr. Seiji Ogawa, the director of Tokyo ART Clinic, who presented crucial insights into pregnancy and infertility, entitled "Essential Knowledge for Future Pregnancies: Preparing with Preconception Care."
During the seminar, Dr. Ogawa emphasized the significance of preconception care, defining it as the proactive process of equipping oneself with the necessary health knowledge and understanding one’s health conditions before pregnancy. He engaged the audience by discussing the present state of infertility treatments, the importance of fertility, and health management prior to conception. One crucial point he made was that both partners should be involved in the baby-planning journey, highlighting that balanced nutrition, sufficient sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking greatly influence future pregnancies.
In addition to lifestyle factors, Dr. Ogawa stressed the necessity of undergoing bridal checks and utilizing preconception clinics. He pointed out that identifying one’s health conditions and supplementing essential nutrients, such as folic acid and Vitamin D, before pregnancy is vital. He conveyed a powerful message: “Planning for pregnancy isn’t something special; it begins with daily health management towards future pregnancies.” He encouraged participants to consult healthcare institutions if they had any concerns.
As part of the preconception care strategies, Dr. Ogawa underscored incorporating folate through diet and supplements. Bayer introduces these essential elements through their Elevit® range, ensuring prospective parents are equipped for pregnancy.
Feedback from participants highlighted the seminar's impactful nature. Comments included reflections like, “I always thought getting pregnant would be straightforward, but now I understand the necessity of preparation and adjusting my body.” Another noted, “Hearing this information from a trusted source rather than online content made it more credible.” Attendees also appreciated learning about the impact of male health on the pregnancy journey.
What is Preconception Care?
Preconception care refers to the efforts made by couples considering future life plans to engage with their daily health and lifestyle. It’s not only about supporting their health today but also about ensuring the well-being of their future children. Even for those who do not wish for pregnancy or childbirth in the near future, possessing accurate knowledge about sexuality, conception, and childbirth is essential for protecting themselves and their partners.
