So just another article that delves into the world of pregnancy and nutrition, my 2 LOVES! I’m excited to think we are striving harder through more research to find out what is really taking place in the womb and what effects nutrition plays to the unborn fetus.
Of course, I can only speak from my experience, but nutrition played a huge roll in my overall conception/pregnancy/labor/birth/postpartum experience. You can read more about my experiences in my pregnancy in my post, “FAT IS NOT WHERE ITS AT-MEDICATING OUR UNBORN BABIES FOR OBESITY.”
I do feel quite passionate about health BEFORE pregnancy and consistent high nutrient dense foods during pregnancy and beyond. As stated in the article below, your baby could be predisposed for diabetes, a disease that is actually quite simple to heal.
This quote from the article below is extremely bothersome for me…..
There is an EXCELLENT documentary called “SIMPLY RAW: REVERSING DIABETES IN 30 DAYS.” You read that right…..curing diabetes in 30 days. It actually happens, folks. But think about it, what if we could STOP completely your baby from ever showing signs of diabetes. Imagine if illness, in general, could totally be thwarted for your unborn child.
Well, it just so happens that I live in a world where I believe that is a reality. I actually believe you can CURE ANYTHING. Dr. Christopher truly said it best….”There is no such thing as an incurable disease, only incurable people.” I wholeheartedly agree with this quote. He is RIGHT ON.
Before pregnancy, your health is completely up to you! During pregnancy, your health and the health of your unborn child are BOTH up to you! I think there must be some kind of disconnect in our world that pregnant women don’t seem to be understanding this concept. Please know I make that remark not out of judgement because I have been one of those disconnected women. But rather I say it out of concern and fear for our future generations health and well being.
At some point, in order for our world to be a healthier and happier place, women will have to really take FULL responsibility for themselves. They will have educate themselves on foods, herbs and nutrition in general to know what is REALLY best for you and your unborn child.
Honestly, that education takes time. It takes planning and preparation BEFORE conception to really make that happen. I am always in AWE of the couples who attend my LivingMom Childbirth Educational Courses BEFORE they conceive. As I’ve watched them during their pregnancies, they are healthier and happier than I believe they would of been without that education and understanding. Of course, this is all my opinion but I have closely watched these women and it makes a PHENOMENAL difference later on. It just does.
Yet again, I’m stepping down from my soap box. I believe our bodies and the bodies of our growing infants deserves the BEST quality foods to keep it running at peak performance. My hope is that women will go the extra mile to do their very BEST for themselves and their babies. I believe the majority of women already do so and its merely the lack of education that prevents the ideal pregnancy/birth experience. It just takes that first step to make a lasting change.
In Peace,
Rachel
