Author Description

So you want to have a baby? This book is a guide for those who wish to have healthy pregnancies and healthy children. Each chapter is devoted to an aspect of the environment that can be problematic, why it could be damaging, why it reduces fertility, and above all, what to do about it. The authoritative work of co-authors is included and Nim also explains her own take on things - the point of view of the ordinary woman and mother. For the past 30 years Nim Barnes has been running Foresight, the charity she founded to help parents. In a practical chatty, accessible style this wonderful book conveys her enthusiasm, passion and experience. Whilst soundly based on nutrition the book explores other areas like hidden infection and electromagnetic pollution. It is Nim's fervent wish that all adults have this knowledge and know how to check their nutritional status, and correct it, before conception.
