Good Nutrition Starts Before Conception: Maternal Diet Critical To Health Of Offspring.
Three months before the planned pregnancy, the couple
should eat good nutritious food. Eat only organically grown food free from
pesticides and herbicides. The good life style to be practiced during
pregnancy should first begin before pregnancy. After getting pregnant it is
difficult to inculcate healthy practices. So it is good to start before
getting pregnant.
The best approach is
for the couple to go through a thorough physical cleanse. Water therapy,
juice fasting and castor oil cleansing are simple ways to achieve this
purpose. This will help the male to donate healthy sperm and the mother to
contribute a healthy egg and also a toxic free environment for the growing
infant. Modern science shows that as women get older the chances of giving
birth to genetically abnormal children increases. This holds good for men
too. Men's age, irrespective of women’s age, increases not only genetic
abnormality but also the chances of miscarriages.
Blood test:
Both the parents should do blood tests and see if they are
having any abnormal blood parameters like blood sugar, cholesterol,
triglycerides, LDL, HDL and hemoglobin.
For female it is good to increase hemoglobin levels before
attempting pregnancy. After getting pregnant and then trying to correct the
parameters is stressful for both mother and child.
Only after doing this go for pregnancy and so the
child born will be of good health.
In Sanskrit, the uterus is called "kshetra" which means
ground. A plant will grow healthy and yield good, healthy fruit only if the
soil or ground is good and fertile. In the same way the health of the uterus
should be taken into account before the pregnancy to have a healthy child
and easy delivery.
"Taasu uttaro-uttaram aayuh
aarogya-aishwarya-soubhaagya-bal-varnendriya-sampat
apatyasya bhavati atah paramtu
uttaro-uttaram eva aayuraadinaam hraasah".
This means that 12 days after menstruation if there is
conception, then the off-spring is healthy, comfortable and strong. After
the 12th day, these qualities steadily decline. Therefore, the 12th day
after a monthly period ceases is excellent to conceive a biologically,
psychologically healthy progeny.
Function of menstruation is to clean the womb and expel
all impurities and introduce the flow of pure blood which makes the walls of
the womb accept the embryo. This is evident in the following shloka:
"Nipataat eva grinhaati raagam vaaso
khetrabeejam upaskritam"
