A picture named premie.jpg Womb Time Drops When Hungry Mama Conceives, Science Study Says

BBC News: "If you don't eat enough just before conception and early in your pregnancy, you may be increasing the odds you'll have a premature baby, a new study suggests. The researchers, from Canada, New Zealand and Australia, believe the finding may shed new light on the 40% of premature births for which there is currently no obvious explanation. "

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in many fish, also serve to reduce the number of premature births.

There seems to be more and more evidence which confirms what our mothers told us: "You are what you eat."

Eat right. Live Better.
