"We are what our mothers ate"... Dr Karen Morton discusses the importance of the maternal diet and the impact on our children's health and development
You are what you eat. We all know this phrase, but the truth is, what we eat doesn’t just impact us, it affects our children too. Maternal diet doesn’t simply start and end with pregnancy. Its importance stretches from before preconception right the way through to ante-natal and beyond into later life. In this inaugural episode with Dr Karen Morton we explore at what stage women should consider their lifestyle and diet when trying to conceive.
Key takeaways:
Maternal diet and the epigenetic effect of that
Common nutritional deficiencies women should be aware of
The influence of natural disasters on the genetics of unborn babies
How to deal with morning sickness
The risk factors for developing gestational diabetes
Why you should exercise after eating
