Fight heart disease for your unborn child

I am going to share this with y’all over here at A Hearty Life as well. I wrote about it at Diabetes Notes but it pertains to heart disease as well and since Spring seems to be the time when so many of my friends are sporting bigger bellies, and rightfully so, here you go…

To all my pregnant friends and readers… remember your baby is what you eat. Seriously, it all starts within the womb.

It is well known that smaller babies are more likely to suffer from heart disease, stroke, hypertension and diabetes. More recently, poor nutrition around the time of fertilization and egg implantation have also been shown to be detrimental in adult life.

Take care of yourself and your baby as I know you want to provide them with the best start in life that you can. Just keep doing what you know how to do and stay healthy- your child will thank you for it.
