Start Growing Healthy Children Before Getting Pregnant By Dr. Margaret Paul

When I was in my early 20’s, I read Adele Davis’s book, “Let’s Eat Right To Keep fit.” I learned from her that “you are what you eat.” I also learned that our babies are what we eat while we are pregnant, and then are what they eat once they are born. If you nurse your babies, then they continue to be what you eat as long as you are nursing them. My bible during my first pregnancy over 38 years ago was “Let’s Have Healthy Children,” also by Adele Davis. I started to follow her guidelines way before getting pregnant, knowing that my health had a big effect on my baby’s health.

There is much more information about good nutrition available today, and I want to encourage anyone who wants to have healthy children to start early in learning about and implementing a healthy way of eating. Educating yourself regarding good nutrition is a major part of good parenting. However, a good rule of thumb is, if they didn’t eat it 200 years ago, don’t eat it now! This means no fast food, no packaged food - including sodas, cakes and candies - no preservatives, no fruits and vegetables grown with pesticides or artificial fertilizers, or animals grown with hormones and fed food grown with pesticides. It also means no smoking or drinking. It means no caffeine. If you want healthy children, you need to put pure, clean organic food into your body before you get pregnant and continue throughout your pregnancy. Of course, then you want to continue to feed yourself and your family clean food once your children are born.

Choices typically revolve around the pros and cons.

I must first give a shout out and thank those of you who have read any of my articles. I must also give a shout out and thank those of you who have decided to research issue of “household toxins” further. Are you ready to make some changes in regards to how you can help to eliminate amount of household toxins in your homes? There are pros and cons to just about every situation we face in life. Most people get set in their ways, and do not like having to make changes. This is a routine that we all have been accustomed to doing on a monthly basis. We go to grocery store or warehouse stores and purchase same consumable products, often times without looking for “bargains” or comparing “similar” products or brands. We do this because we have been programmed to do so. We went to stores with our parents and saw them buying these products and we have continued with same routine as we have grown older. We have never been given a reason to second guess these types of products. We would all assume for most part that there is no way that these products could be sold to us if there were any chance of long-term health risks associated with using them. So, now what can you do to help make some lasting and well deserved changes? Purchasing products that are natural and biodegradable does not necessarily mean spending more money. As with most products and markets, you can spend less, same, or a little bit more on these types of products. It all boils down to choices and preferences. Would you be willing to purchase products that are designed to be safer on you and your loved ones? Is money an issue when it comes to health and well being? Would you purchase like or similar products if you could save money and pay yourself back in process? This is going to take a leap of faith on your part, and I am here if you need my help or more information. I can show you how to purchase safer products, save money, and pay yourself back with every monthly order. It is just that simple and easy, and there are no hassles or sales pitches.
