Earlier this week I saw a clip of a segment that was on GMA regarding a new pregnancy book by a couple of famous doctors that you may have heard of recently, Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen. The title of the book is You: Having a Baby which will most likely be a huge seller thanks their hugely popular doctor show that is all over TV syndication now a days. Any way back to the clip that I watched and you can see it also over at the GMA site.
In this short clip they focus in on some common house hold items that most of us use on a daily basis probably that they claim through the latest research can effect the genes of your child during your pregnancy. This revelation was not only fascinating but actually kind of disturbing as well to be honest with you. To think that common everyday items that we use in our homes can be linked to the genetic make up of your baby is over whelming.
Be on the look out for your recycled products like your plastic bottles, cups or tv dinner trays. According to their statements on the interview you should limit your exposure to recycled items that have the 2 or 4 in the recycle symbol triangle. Really are you kidding me after all these years of being exposed to recycled products now they are finding out that certain ones can effect the genetic make up of your unborn baby? Wow that is deep, here we are doing our best to save our planet for our kids and it turns out those very same planet saving items could be detrimental to those very same kids….. talk about irony.
So in a nutshell in terms of healthy choices to make while you are pregnant these are the few tips that were pointed out that I got from the interview. Drink your fluids out of a glass or mug and stay away from plastics all together. Limit the amount of caffeine to a cup of coffee at the most while you are pregnant and if you are going to eat some sort of pre-packaged food or meal make sure you heat it up in a regular plate or bowl. Just stay away from plastics all together just to be on the safe side. They were all pretty easy tips and I am all for taking those extra steps to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
