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. If you're going in the 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 either a mineral or a vitamin,

it creates huge consequences. This just kind of goes through this. Vitamin A deficiencies. Vitamin A

is a fat-civil of vitamin. It's essential for vision. 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. Vitamin A is very important in differentiating

cells. In other words, you need vitamin A to tell the cell what to develop into.

I'm talking about spinal cord, heart, ears, specific types of tissues. If there's a deficiency

in vitamin A, there's going to be a mix-up in what cells are what? Premature birth, low-birth weight,

and miscarriage. The best source of vitamin A is virgin, cobbler, oil. I highly recommend that.

Then salmon and egg yolks. Then we get to vitamin D. Then we have rickets. That would be weak bones,

difficulty walking. I lost a connective tissue that holds the bones together. You get vitamin D

from the sun, dairy, and fish, and caldator oil as well. Then we have copper. Copper is a trace

mineral. 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. It's exaggerated. The best source of copper

is seafood, like oysters, lobster, crab, seaweed, or sea kelp. You can get copper from that.
