There is so much focus on turning this nation around. We are the most powerful, but we have become somewhat of a joke during the previous administration. To get the nation, and our health, back on track, we need to step up our game and take care of ourselves.
On that note, recent research has shown that obese women who become pregnant are more likely to lose their children shortly after childbirth than pregnant women who are at a healthy weight. High infant mortality rates are related to obese and even slightly overweight mothers. This study only concentrated on women with high body mass indices before becoming pregnant.
If you're trying to conceive, adopting a healthy lifestyle is the a great starting-point decision. Not only will nutrition and exercise help you learn new habits for your own life, but you will be able to pass these habits on to your offspring.
