🌱Ancient Wisdom on Preparing Ourselves for Pregnancy

Hi Angels,

Let’s revisit our topic: Eating for Optimum Health! 🌟

The last two days have been politically crazy in the West. In the rest of the world, people are drawing their opinions and debating the course ahead. At every street corner tea stall, diner, and public park in South West Asia, there is a group of young adults and middle-aged men discussing and criticizing politics. (I used to be one of them)

It got me thinking about how much time we waste, especially discussing Western ideologies, when as a third-world country we have much progress to make at home.

The first step in getting there is to create and nurture a healthy future generation that can house a healthy mind. 🧠🌱

I have nothing against medical sciences. I’m so grateful to live in a country where I can avail these services with ease, in the hands of expert doctors who work tirelessly.

But what irks me most is the popular culture that looks down upon our ancient traditional practices such as Ayurveda and functional medicine, which have been used for centuries in Eastern culture.

Coming of age has directed me to make some choices for my future, such as:

- My Nutrition 🥗

- Proper Emotional Regulation 💖

- Improving My Intuition 🧘‍♀️

- Better Content for My Mind 📚

- Understanding the Female Anatomy 👩‍⚕️

- Learning Family Values I Didn’t Know 🌳

- Learning Healthy Relationship Dynamics 💑

Among these, nutrition takes precedence because we have the most control over it. It is one thing we can know for sure, that if we improve, we are more likely to bring a healthy child into this world. After all, it is a competition for the survival of the fittest!

Family planning cannot be just a bedroom talk, based on our material success. It has to cover all areas that govern physical, emotional, and mental health. We should multiply desiring quality, not quantity or societal pressure.

This is where functional medicine and ancient wisdom take the stage. 🌿

In the coming letters, I will discuss exactly what I eat to prepare my body for my future kids and the mindset I have adopted in pursuit of finding someone with a similar mindset.

This is an unusual topic for many because of the popular belief that children are gifts from God. Indeed they are, but can’t we try to birth them in a better environment with better health, and in that way, secure their future?

Love,

Zitni Zun 💖
