so the question is should a woman who is

pregnant or breastfeeding do in a minute

fasting okay and the answer is no

because if there is preexisting

subclinical nutrient deficiencies then

everything is going to be magnified

because that mother is eating for two

now it is true that when you do in a

minute fasting the nutrient requirements

go down but still you don’t want to mess

around because you want to make sure the

mother has everything she needs and a

lot of times a pregnant women will have

cravings those are simply nutritional

deficiencies there’s higher incidence of

something called pica which is craving

things like dirt clay chalk paper starch

that is merely a deficiency of either

zinc calcium or iron so I don’t

recommend doing in a minute fasting now

do I recommend healthy keto absolutely

for two reasons one is that when you do

have the keto you drop in your carbs a

lot of women who are pregnant the last

trimester develop insulin resistance and

sometimes diabetes now the problem is if

that mother gets diabetes the risks for

the child getting diabetes goes up by

three times so you don’t want to pig out

and do ice cream and lots of sugar and

things like that you want to do healthy

keto and what the woman eats during

pregnancy will determine the future

health of that child it’s crucial that

that mother consumes really healthy food

for example cod liver oil has the DHA

which is vital for brain growth and

brain structural development if a fetus

is deficient in DHA that the the actual

brain will be smaller okay and there’ll

be problems with IQ in cognitive issues

and problems with visual acuity things

like that and of course fish like wild

caught salmon for the DHA as well and

also vitamin A and vitamin d3 cod liver

oil is an excellent source of vitamin d3

and vitamin A very important for a

growing baby seafood for DHA which is a

healthy fat that’s the omega-3 fatty

acid and trace minerals you can also get

trace minerals and seek help for the

iodine iodine is so crucial especially

in the first and second trimester if

there’s an iodine deficient

see the actual size of that that being

will be smaller the IQ will be less

there’ll be a lot of problems with

learning and speech and even hearing

these trace minerals are essential to

prevent structural problems as well like

preventing dental malformations or

preventing scoliosis or flat feet a lot

of skeletal issues and of course you

know about a Mindi tree if that’s

deficient you can end up with rickets

starting both legs all sorts of issues

with the with the actual bone eggs will

provide an excellent source of protein

and you can kind of look at eggs as a

multi vitamin mineral product greens

like in salad to provide vitamin C and

also the minerals like potassium and

magnesium these are all really really

important to activate the enzymes that

actually build human tissue meats for

the protein healthy meats of course

grass-fed and nutritional yeast to

provide the natural B vitamins

especially when you’re breastfeeding

that will fortify the breast milk to

make it very very rich and healthy so if

you wanted a good example of a very

healthy baby watch this this is this a

trampoline Wow you want to pull my hair
