| book description |

Most books about pregnancy barely mention the importance of taking vitamins - let alone orthomolecular-strength vitamins - for optimal health of both mother and baby. Noting that fresh, high-quality food does not begin to supply all the nutrients needed for good health, Case stresses that pregnancy demands even higher levels of nutrients for both mother and developing child. After all, the health of the baby starts with what the mother consumes. If foetal nutrition is inadequate, research has shown that can lead to increased risk of metabolic, endocrine and cardiovascular diseases in adult life. It's imperative that women know about optimal nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding - and ideally before. Citing many studies on efficacy and safety, Case goes into rich detail about the virtues of vitamins C, E, A, D and the Bs, as well as minerals, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Case addresses thirty-five pregnancy issues, from acid reflux to yeast infections, as well as postpartum issues, particularly coping with depression and losing weight. Based on the author's extensive knowledge of orthomolecular medicine and her personal experience, VITAMINS AND PREGNANCY is a comprehensive nutritional guide to optimal health for you and your baby.
