Happy Motherhood, the rule of 3Hs: Holistic Mom, Holistic
Pregnancy, Holistic Baby ...
Being a Mother is the most beautiful and -yes!- meaningful job on
 Earth. Giving birth is one of the most sacred and glorious acts in
life. In this article, you will find 9 tips to become a happy
eco-conscious and healthy mom-to-be, preparing your body and soul
holistically to conceive and carry this baby in the best conditions.
Fertility
If you think about it, the magic and mystery of Life are just
mind-blowing when you consider that it takes just making love at the
right moment and 9 months later, a new little human being is born. You
may have heard from the news that since last century, there is a
growing problem of infertility in both women and men, and birth
defects. Some simple steps will ensure that your body is pure and
balanced to conceive easily and have a blissful worry-free pregnancy.
Going Green and being holistic is the best choice for you and your future baby
The old view that the placenta is a barrier protecting the baby from
contaminants in the mother's body is plain wrong, as demonstrated by
recent research. So what you eat, what you drink, what you breathe and
what you put on your body (creams, shampoos, soaps and makeup) go
through your body to your baby. That is why protecting yourself from
more exposure and contamination, as well as cleaning your body from
the existing accumulation of chemicals in your tissues (see below body
burden) are two critical steps in preparation for your
pregnancy. Mother Nature can help and support you in your new
adventure in many ways. Take advantage of her loving support by
following the 9 tips below.
9 tips for a Holistic Blissful Pregnancy
- detoxify for at least 3-6 months before your pregnancy. Green
Clay is one of the most natural and efficient detoxifier. Read our
article to find out more about this wonder of nature
as well as the other efficient detox solutions. You may also want to
include fresh ginger tea to cleanse your blood (see the recipe here)
and chlorella (which is a superfood) to detox even further and get
all the vitamins and minerals you need
- use certified natural and organic skin, body and hair care
products like all Nature Purity products, which don't contain any
parabens, phtalates, petrochemicals or other toxic chemicals
- eat as organic as you can or if you can't, concentrate on
products which make the most difference like: book
review
- use natural detergents and house cleaning products
- avoid, at any cost, treating your lawn and garden chemically see
our
article about it for details.
- Take it easy and avoid panicking about chemicals and pollution:
stress and fears are as toxic for you and your baby as bad
chemicals. Moreover, many infertility problems include psychological
factors. One of them being the fear of not being able to conceive
- make sure that you have all the vitamins and essential fatty acids you need
- get some specific massage like lymphatic drainage or simply
exercise to help move the toxins and chemicals out of your body
Once you have begun to be a conscious eco-mom, you won't have to worry
about body burden anymore. So just relax and prepare yourself for what
will be the greatest adventure of your life. Mother Nature supports
you...
What is Body Burden?
The main problem with chemicals isn't that they float around
everywhere. No, the problem is that some of them tend to accumulate in
tissues and organs while they aren't meant to be there: this is called
Body Burden. Mainstream food,
clothes, beds, plastic bottles and of course cosmetics contain
chemicals which are toxic for you and your future baby. Here are a few
examples...
- Parabens
- are food and cosmetic preservatives, which
have been found in breast cancers lumps and are suspected to
be hormone disruptors.
- Phthalates
- have been linked to problems with
reproductive system development in baby boys and to insulin
resistance and obesity in adult men. They are used in a wide
variety of cosmetic products, such as moisturizers, nail
polish and baby powder; cleaning products; plastic food wraps;
and toys, especially those made with PVC plastic. Other uses
include medical equipment and building supplies.
- Bisphenol A
- (also known as BPA) has been linked to
breast and prostate cancer, reproductive problems, diabetes
and alteration of brain chemistry and behavioral changes. It
is used in many household products, including plastic baby
bottles, hard plastic sports bottles and metal food cans,
which are often lined with plastic to prevent a metallic taste
in food.
- PCBs
- were formerly used as electrical
insulators, among other things, have been found to affect the
immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems. They are
also considered a probable carcinogen. Though their production
in the U.S. was banned in 1979, these long-lasting chemicals
continue to circulate in the environment and in the food
chain. New releases also occur when old equipment made with
PCBs is damaged or improperly disposed of.
- Dioxins
- - a byproduct of the manufacture and burning
of chlorine products, can affect the cardiovascular,
respiratory, immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine
systems and cause cancer.
Scientists are discovering more and more sickening effects of these
chemicals. However, what they underestimate is the amazing power of
life. You have control and power over your body despite the
appearances. There are hundreds of natural ways to make your vitality
and life blossom. We will look into a few in our next articles about
the rule of 3Hs for happy Motherhood. By adopting a holistic
lifestyle, you are supporting and enhancing the power of life within
you. In turn, this assures that you are at the top of your shape and
energy day after day to enjoy this new adventure of 9 months of
co-creation.
