#1

The diet you choose before and during pregnancy will heavily influence the health of your baby. The mother and father’s diet will affect the baby’s intelligence and physical health, as well as their emotional and mental well-being.

#2

A healthy baby is robust, well formed, energetic, and free of birth defects. A healthy baby has a broad face, strong bones, and a wide palate, allowing the teeth to grow in straight. A healthy baby has clear skin, good eyesight, and keen hearing.

#3

Cod liver oil was the number one supplement for pregnant women and growing children until the end of the Second World War. It was taken to protect them from infectious disease, and to ensure strong bones and teeth.

#4

The diet for producing a healthy baby and keeping baby’s parents healthy during pregnancy begins before conception and includes the following: cod liver oil to supply about 20,000 IU vitamin A and at least 2000 IU vitamin D per day, 4 cups of whole raw milk daily, and at least one egg daily.

#5

Vitamin A is important for the development of the exterior of our bodies, and it helps protect us against environmental chemicals and estrogenic substances in pesticides. It also helps with the growth of our organs.

#6

The best way to take cod liver oil is to mix it with a small amount of warm water, whole raw milk, or fresh juice, and then quickly gulp it down. It is important that the cod liver oil you take provide the right ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D.

#7

cod liver oil is another good source of vitamins A and D, and it is safe to use during pregnancy. It protects against the dangers of low birth weight and ensures that the infant starts life at a good, robust weight.

#8

The yolks of eggs are a great source of choline, which is important for the development of the brain. Choline is also found in liver and dairy foods, and to a lesser extent in meats, nuts, and legumes.

#9

But butter is not just a source of fat. It is rich in vitamins A, D, K2 and E, as well as selenium, copper, zinc and chromium. It is also rich in cholesterol and lecithin, which helps the body process cholesterol.

#10

The government claims that raw milk is dangerous, but the truth is that it is a very safe food. There have been no deaths attributed to raw milk for many years, and the risk of contracting foodborne illness from it is much smaller than the risk of becoming ill from other foods.

#11

The dangers of raw milk are greatly exaggerated. While there are not many published studies comparing raw and pasteurized milk, the few that we do have indicate that raw milk is vastly superior to pasteurized for building strong bones and teeth, protecting against infection, allergies, and asthma, and building immunity.

#12

The FDA cites raw milk as the source of many food-borne illnesses, but a 2003 report from the USDA and FDA found that compared to raw milk, there were over five hundred more illnesses from Listeria monocytogenes due to deli meats.

#13

Raw milk is superior to pasteurized milk for growth, building strong bones and teeth, protecting against illness, and even for behavior. It is also highly protective against asthma and allergies.

#14

Liver is a sacred food in many cultures, and for good reason: it is the most nutrient-dense food in the human diet. It is an excellent source of phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, choline, biotin, and folate.

#15

The benefits of eating seafood during pregnancy far outweigh any risks. The most important finding is that women who eat twelve ounces or less of seafood per week are almost 50 percent more likely to have children with low verbal IQ scores.

#16

Caviar is a rich source of vitamins B12, K2, cholesterol, choline, selenium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, zinc, iodine, and trace minerals. It is also extremely rich in vitamin D.

#17

Meat should be included in the diet every day, and it should be naturally raised and grass-fed. It is a rich source of complete protein, iron, and zinc, all needed for building baby’s body, blood, and brain.

#18

The amino acid glycine is conditionally essential during pregnancy. It is needed for the synthesis of the placenta and protection of both mother and baby from toxins and stress.

#19

The Gut and Psychology Syndrome diet, developed by UK physician Natasha Campbell-McBride, is designed to heal the intestinal tract and help the body detoxify. It eliminates all grains, sugars and starches, which all contain large amounts of complex sugars called disaccharides.

#20

Lacto-fermented foods are rich in enzymes, lactic acid, and good bacteria, which together help digestion. Good bacteria in
