New Gene discovered linked to obesity
Pollution in the womb and obesity.
If we are to give our children the best start for life, we have to prepare the body and mind for pregnancy. Why? Because toxins whether they be chemicals or negative thoughts affect our babies. Being over weight increases the risk as it simply means you are housing more toxins. These fat cells are the body’s dumping ground for toxins that could harm the vital organs.
It was thought that chemicals didn’t do anything but now it is known that they affect the way the cells communicate to each other and interfere with our genes.
What does this mean?
It means that we increase the chances of passing on unwanted genes and pollutants to our babies.One such gene is FTO, this is a new gene that has been recently discovered by Professor Hitman and his team from Queen Mary’s, University of London. People who carry this gene are more at risk of gaining weight and will find it harder to change their weight compared to those that do not have it. This valuable research helps us to understand excess weight and obesity but it doesn’t explain how it is passed onto our children.
What can you and I do about this? Prepare for Pregnancy! Create a ’clean womb’ for your baby to be. Follow the Wellness Action Plan and start today by removing as many chemicals as you can from your home.
Today’s tip: Go to your bathroom and look at the labels on your shampoo, bubble bath, shower gel and liquid soap products and see if any contain sodium lauryl sulphate. Remove these from your bathroom and kitchen and switch to brands free from these.
