hey guys today we’re going to talk about

the relationship between pregnancy and

nutrients it’s so important that a woman

that is going through pregnancy take the

right type of nutrition I’m not talking

about just taking a synthetic prenatal

I’m talking about the food the eating

it’s very very essential anytime you do

a prenatal you want to do a food based

prenatal don’t get the synthetic

versions because it’s not the same

there’s over two billion people on this

planet that have serious nutritional

deficiencies and if you’re going into

pregnancy I can’t emphasize enough the

relationship between the fortification

of nutrients and a growing healthy body

if a woman who’s carrying a baby is

deficient in a either a mineral or a

vitamin it creates huge consequences so

let’s just kind of go through this

vitamin A deficiency vitamin A is is a

fat soluble vitamin it’s essential for

vision and if a mother is deficient they

can have all sorts of problems not just

with night vision but the baby could

have problems with the formation of the

eye the cornea the membranes around the

eye and vitamin A is very important in

differentiating cells in other words you

need vitamin A to tell the cell what to

develop in to so I’m talking about

spinal cord heart ears specific types of

tissues so if there’s a deficiency in

vitamin A there’s going to be a mix up

in what cells are what premature birth

okay low birth weight and miscarriage

the best source of vitamin A is virgin

cod liver oil I highly recommend that

and then salmon and egg yolks okay then

we get to vitamin D and then we have

rickets okay that would be weak bones

difficulty walking a loss of connective

tissue that holds the bones together and

you get vitamin D from the Sun dairy and

fish and cod liver oil as well so then

we have copper copper as a trace mineral

so if a pregnant woman is deficient in

copper the child could have what’s

called swayback which is an excess

curvature in the lower back so it’s kind

of exaggerated the best source of copper

is seafood like oysters lobster

Krabbe seaweed or sea kelp okay you can

get copper from that if you’re deficient

in iron you can have anemia and that can

set the child up for all sorts of

problems with miscarriages and low birth

weight premature birth things like that

red meat eggs seafood great source of

iron and I definitely recommend a

grass-fed liver okay iodine if you

deficient in iodine you’re gonna have it

just a smaller child the brains not

going to develop you’re gonna have

cognitive issues the IQ is gonna be

lower and also you can have a

miscarriage okay get your iodine from

seek help from a very good high quality

location then we have the mineral

magnesium okay and you have also

selenium which is a trace mineral if

you’re deficient either one of these a

low birth weight miscarriage or

preeclampsia which is a condition a very

toxic condition where you have high

blood pressure the organs become toxic

and you can have all sorts of other

complications you want to get these

minerals from leafy greens seeds nuts

and you can get a selenium from Brazil

nuts and these trace minerals which are

minerals needed in small amounts are

really involved in the enzymes and

enzymes help the formation of proteins

which are all the organs then we have

low vitamin b1 that can set the child up

forgetting something called sudden

infant death syndrome because b1 is

involved in the autonomic nervous system

development and the autonomic nervous

system goes to the respiratory centers

in the brainstem and that’s where you

have the breathing centers so sleep

apnea if you’re an adult sudden into

death syndrome SIDS if you’re a baby

toxemia is a condition where the

mother’s gonna have low blood pressure

issues kidney issues liver problems and

there’s an increased risk of fatality in

the fetus and also in the mother

okay so pork actually believe it or not

a high quality pork actually has a lot

of b1 nutritional yeast is a really good

source of vitamin b1 spare gas has b1

organ meats like liver

has b1 okay let’s talk about vitamin C

vitamin C deficiencies that’s involved

in a lot of formation of collagen so you

can get preeclampsia so there could be a

problem with premature birth because if

the placenta is detaching too quick and

the water breaks and then the pregnancy

starts kicking in there way too early

when the infant is not formed yet so

vitamin C bell peppers leafy greens

sauerkraut very high in vitamin C okay

then we get something called folate

which is one of the B vitamins if you’re

deficient you can develop something

called neural tube defects which

basically the spinal column and the

spinal cord are not developing properly

so you have this little bulge in the

back where the spinal column is actually

sticking out of the spine in the back

which could be totally prevented if

there’s full laid in the system okay

also you can have cleft palate which

you’ve probably seen people have these

little stitches right here with where

the formation of the top of the palate

of the mouth is not formed and it’s

going right into the nose right here and

they have to do surgery and stitch that

up right there so if someone takes

bullet they can prevent this condition

from happening this could also happen

from being exposed to a pesticide and

sometimes it can also be a vitamin A

deficiency a lot of times it’s just all

blamed on genetics but there are huge

connections with nutrient deficiencies

as well leafy greens okay so that’s why

it’s so important for from what someone

pregnant or even well before you’re

pregnant to start eating healthy you’re

thinking about having a child starting

healthy for a long period of time get

your body in really good shape and so

that way when you have the baby

everything is really smooth manganese

okay another trace mineral very

important in developing the skeletal

structure and if you’re deficient you

can have all sorts of problems with even

flat feet a malformation of the bone the

maxillary bone up here so you have

either under bite or an overbite you’re

probably going to need braces so if you

looked at a common thread all the

different minerals and trace minerals

are very important in the formation of

enzymes that then have to do with

protein

and building body tissue so you can see

there’s so many different trace mineral

deficiencies and also fat soluble

vitamin deficiencies right here and even

water-soluble vitamin deficiencies right

here in relationship to a body that’s

not forming correctly so here’s the

thing you can actually just not consume

these nutrients because your diet is

lacking them okay you can also be a

pre-diabetic or a diabetic or have

insulin resistance which by the way 65%

of the population has either

pre-diabetes or diabetes so chances are

you might even have this in which case

you’re not going to even absorb these as

well as you should compounded by the

fact if your diet is poor too if we add

these together then you’re really going

to be deficient and so that prenatal

really doesn’t really do a lot consuming

refined foods going to fast food

restaurants eating junk foods depletes

your nutrients big-time especially when

you’re doing sugar and refined grain

this if you’ve had a gastric bypass

that’s gonna prevent the absorption in

the small intestine because you don’t

that whole small first part of the small

intestine is bypassed

so you don’t have access to it so you’re

not gonna absorb as much also if you

have low stomach acids

you’re not going to absorb the minerals

so you’d need to take more acid so what

I’m trying to do is increase your

awareness on the connection between

nutrition and formation of a healthy

baby so if you’re thinking about being

pregnant

starting healthy right now and make sure

that you have everything needed to form

a healthy baby if you’re liking this
