Although there is no easy answer, parents - to - be can lower their risk of giving birth to a child with ADHD, autism, or other brain disorder by
limiting exposure to environmental toxins both in the home and outside (for instance, rates of autism are found to be higher in those whose mothers lived near freeways during pregnancy), eating a whole foods diet free of common food sensitivities (such as gluten), and testing for and managing any autoimmune reactions.
And, as a natural mama, you'll want
to use natural cleaning supplies and beauty products while
limiting your
exposure to other
environmental toxins like pesticides and radiation.
