The role of nutrients in human health - minerals

[WuWei]

I happened upon this list of nutrients and their relevance to healthy fetal development. It is made available by the Foresight Association For The Promotion Of Pre-Conceptual Care. I found it informative, and thought I'd pass it on. http://www.foresight-preconception.o...leminerals.htm

This is even more profound! http://bastyrcenter.org/content/view/611/

Women who take supplemental probiotics (“friendly” bacteria) during pregnancy and breastfeeding may help lower the risk of their child developing eczema, according to a new study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

The incidence of eczema in the children whose mothers took Lactobacillus GG was 15%, compared with almost 50% in the children whose mothers took the placebo. No side effects were observed in the mothers or children during Lactobacillus GG supplementation.

Looks interesting. The link isn't working for me though.

They've "updated" the site and the wonderful list of nutrients and the food sources is gone.


The site seems to have other useful information for pre-conception planning, however.

For a fairly complete list of foods/nutrients (find foods high in folate, low in omega-6 fatty acids, like that), this search tool is pretty cool....
