Book Reviews of The Prenatal Prescription

Book Review: great more couples in the preconception stage
Summary: 4 Stars

Yes this is a lot of common sense but it goes into depth about those common sense ideas of why you need to eat healthy and not starve yourself during your pregnancy. He is a little repetitive but it's an easy to read book. It also scratches the surface of the importance of medical care for women. I think it's ashman that you either have to be on medicare or be rich to have a baby no a days! Something needs to be done about this.

Summary of The Prenatal Prescription

Did you know that your actions during pregnancy impact your child's health after birth and into adulthood? That what you eat, how much you exercise, your stress level, and your immediate environment are all key factors in determining your baby's predisposition to such conditions as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke, cancer, even depression? Based on more than thirty years of rigorous scientific research, Dr. Nathanielsz's The Prenatal Prescription explains why this is so and what you can do about it.

Focusing on the main factors that directly affect the unborn child -- nutrition, stress, toxins, and exercise -- Dr. Nathanielsz lays out a clear and easy-to-follow program for "prenatal programming." He explains the science behind the fetal origins of adult disease, and offers tools that you can use to make your prenatal interaction with your baby memorable and beneficial.

Starting before conception, this simple prescription will change forever the way you think about preparing yourself for pregnancy. All parents want a long and healthy life for their child. The Prenatal Prescription explains how to make this a reality.
