What women eat during pregnancy!

Diet can go back to the days before we are born. This can have an effect on the baby.

It has been well noted for centuries that pregnant women should choose their food selectively because what they eat in pregnancy determines the baby's health.

Not only women, the food men eat before and during conception also affects the baby. The intergenerational link is interesting when considering the fathers diet around conception has implications for future generations. It is not only what the mother eats at the time of conception, also what the father eats at the time and even before.
