New research reveals the strong impact of a mother's nutrition on the
subsequent lifespan of the child. Although it was conducted on mice,
it's good research that seeks to find answers to some very important
questions. Just how important is a mother's nutrition anyway?
From
where I'm sitting, it's crucial. If pregnant mothers would kick their
high-carbohydrate refined foods diets and start eating more quality
protein and nutritional supplements, their babies would be far
healthier, and we'd all save billions of dollars in health care costs
down the road. Too many mothers have bad diets to begin with (the
Standard American Diet), and they continue with the same eating patterns
when they carry their babies.
Expectant mothers need some basic
education about nutrition and the health of their children. We've told
these women to stop smoking and avoid alcohol, but we need to go much
further and tell them what they should be seeking out in terms of
nutrition. There's no time that's more critical to the health outcome of
the unborn child, and pregnant mothers should absolutely avoid eating
all metabolic disruptors like sodium nitrite, refined white flour,
refined sugar and hydrogenated oils. Instead, they should be eating
healthy oils like flax oil and avocados. They should intake high-quality
proteins from eggs and organic meats. And they should supplement their
diets with superfoods like chlorella and The Ultimate Meal.
These
dietary strategies create healthy mothers and healthy babies.
