Why Preconception and Pregnancy Nutrition Matters

If we are what we eat (and we are) then babies in the womb are made from what we eat too. The nutritional health of parents-to-be and their unborn babies is of paramount importance and yet is often overlooked or glossed over, as they are given vague recommendations to eat a healthy balanced diet, perhaps with 'five-a-day' or 'everything in moderation'. This book looks at the question of pre-conception and pregnancy nutrition in detail and aims to open readers' eyes to the vital role food plays in short and long-term health, for parents-to-be and their children. Author Michael Walne explains how to achieve optimal health in today's world, learning lessons from the past and steering a course through the information overload of the 21st century.
