Green Pregnancies: Is Your OBGYN Talking to You About This? In just 3 days you can turn the "Plastics" in your blood stream around.
The legacy you leave your future family, starts long before you meet and mingle and make love, to make offspring.
It starts with what is inside your body. This gets into your eggs and sperm.
Ultimately into the placenta, amniotic fluid and breast milk.
Whatever pollutants you carry around, get passed down.
We do not just give our “genes” to our kids, we give our garbage.
It makes a lot of sense to try to clean yourself, diet, body, mind and spirit “up” before your eggs and sperm meet and merge.
Who you are is part of what you give.
This includes your cellular terrain of how you have lived. What chemicals to which you get exposed.
Everything gets passed on down.
More nasty pollutants that can futz with hormones, called endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), the more at risk your child’s behavior and IQ or risk of Autism.
I’ve been writing about this for years.
My “breakthrough” book called Hormone Deception, was one of the very first books to inform the public and doctor’s about endocrine disruption. What this can do to future generations. How this all works, in English not highly confusing scientific terms.
And the most important of all, it explains as easily as possible, how to reduce exposure. To ultimately protect your kid’s brain health.
I have been referring to this as a Call for Green Pregnancies!
FACT: We now know for certain:
Higher prenatal exposure to the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) - just one chemical accused of causing issues, but we live in a “chemical soup” of many chemicals - is associated with a greater risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially in males.
I discussed in my book how early exposes can “re-write” the genetic deal of the cards for your kids and grand kids (all these exposures are “transgenerational” or keep being passed on even if the original exposure stops!
Transgeneraltional means we pass all these genetic changes on. Even though the original exposure stopped.
This is how powerful exposures are during prenatal life.
Prenatal means relating to, occurring, or existing before birth.
For example, prenatal care is the health care that pregnant women receive from an obstetrician or midwife during pregnancy.
These specialists should be talking to these women about all this.
Prenatal development is the growth of a zygote into a baby.
Prenatal is YOUR health, the soon-to-be mom and dad. What you eat. What you track into your houses. Store in your fridge. Spray on your skin.
Get smart to try to have healthier, smarter kids.
How is this happening?
