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 todays world, learning lessons from the past and steering a course through the information overload of the 21st century.
