Perhaps that’s why scientists today say our genes are not our fixed destiny; they are more like switches that our lifestyle can turn on or off.
Pregnancy, therefore, is not just the growth of a baby.
It is the shaping of a future human being.
A mother’s calmness, healthy nutrition, managing stress, and caring for both body and mind can leave effects that may appear many years later in her child’s life.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, said a sentence thousands of years ago that today gains deeper meaning with the science of epigenetics:
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Perhaps one of the greatest gifts a mother can give her child is this:
a healthy body, a peaceful mind, and a strong beginning for life.
