If you are thinking of having children in the near future, what can you do now to prepare your body for pregnancy and give your child a healthy start in life?
If you’ve had one or more children who currently have chronic health conditions such autism, allergies, or asthma, what can you do to prepare for another pregnancy and possibly prevent these issues?
New research shows that the health of the mother before conception plays a big part in the future health of her child. While most women begin thinking about their health when they become pregnant, studies show that decreasing your toxic load and improving your nutritional status before conceiving reduces the risk of future health problems for your child. The health of the father before conception plays an important role as well.
