"The truth is only healthy parents can make a healthy baby. And one of the best ways to ensure the health of your baby is to positively address your own health and lifestyle before conceiving. Dealing with vitamin and mineral deficiencies, stress and underlying infections can not only make conceiving easier, it can provide the best possible start in life for your baby.
According to Foresight, the preconceptual care group, once you get rid of the drugs, bugs and toxins, there is usually nothing standing in the way of having a healthy baby. While many women are told that it’s down to genetics if they have trouble conceiving or produce a baby with a birth defect that is not necessarily borne out by the research.
We all have genetic weaknesses, but that doesn’t automatically produce an unhealthy baby. What may be more influential is certain aspects of our lifestyles and environment.
NutritionNutritious food keeps your own energy levels high and can reduce the risk of miscarriage and, during pregnancy, pre-eclampsia and poor fetal growth. There is also increasingly strong evidence that what women eat before and during pregnancy provides the blueprint for their children’s long-term health."
