Priming the body for pregnancy optimizes your child’s health. While adopting a healthy lifestyle at any stage
of pregnancy is beneficial, research suggests that parent’s habits before conception also influence her baby’s well-being at birth and for his or her entire lifetime. Take steps now to protect the health of a
baby in the future. However, preconception health is important for all women and men, whether or not they
plan to have a baby one day.
