Other countries that provide paid maternity leave are: Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Iceland, Serbia, Norway, Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania.

In addition to good psychological practices and paid maternity time-off, NUTRITION

also plays a big role in raising healthy children. Every mother desires a beautiful and healthy baby. But, only when the Laws of Nature are followed, will a child be blessed with physical beauty and a healthy mental,

emotional, and spiritual outlook. Below are some useful tips:

•Raise your consciousness.

•Keep meals and lifestyle simple, relaxed, and as close to Nature as possible.

•Educate yourself in good nutrition and the Laws of Nature.

•Involve your your children in the preparation of food, cooking, kitchen chores, and herb

gardening.

•Make mealtime an enjoyable time to slow down and connect.

•Avoid being conned or exploited by the food giants, hype advertising, or the latest

gimmick.

•Eliminate all junk food and pollutants from the food in your kitchen such as those

mentioned below.

•Nourish your child/children with the basics of life, good, wholesome, organic food, and

lots of TLC (tender loving care).

How a mother nourishes her child/children will determine what each future generation of her off spring will be like. The role of motherhood encompasses a tremendous responsibility that needs to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, lack of support from fathers and the high cost of living means that the average busy, modern day, working mother has little time to properly nurture or nourish her child/children.

That is why fast foods have become so popular. But, mothers beware! Take away

and processed, packaged products, under the guise of being labeled food, can be very

destructive to the human body. Not only are they void of nourishment and fiber, but they can also contain harmful refined sugar, damaged fats and oils, endocrine disruptor, additives, MSG, preservatives, antibiotics, fluoride, plastics, GMOs, pesticides, and other chemicals. Plus, most junk food and processed products are addictive. Some are even highly acidic and do to the body what acid rain does to a lake or forest. Beware also of non-food pollutants. These pollutants (listed below) destroy gut flora, bone structures, teeth, and hinder nerve development in growing children. They also disrupt hormones and cause cancer.

Thus, they should be avoided if you want to have beautiful, healthy children.

•Additives, fillers, MSG & other flavor enhancers

•Alcohol

•Fluoride & fluoridated water

•Aluminum & heavy metals found in leaded pipes, seafood, dental fillings, & vaccines

•Carbonated drinks including soda & beer

•Coffee, tea, & other caffeinated products

•Damaged fats & refined oils (margarine, canola, corn, soy, peanut, etc.)

•EFS (electric magnetic frequencies in cell phones, TV, smart meters, phone towers, etc.)

•GMOs

•Distorted lighting & other forms of radiation

•Preservatives, plastics, BPA, bromine, chlorine, & other chemicals

•Refined sugar & refined carbohydrates

•RoundUp, glyphosate, & other pesticides & herbicides

•White flour, most breads, & baked goods

Labels can be very deceptive. Many products labeled ‘Natural’ are often full of

refined sugar and damaged oils.
