What you eat can make you sick and disturb you mentally. I can't express enough how important it is to watch your diet, to eat healthy foods and give up fast food, sugary treats, smoking and other things that are plain abusive for your health.
The more processed foods you are eating the greater the risk for you to develop mental disorders. If you are a man and you are obese your risk of having an autistic child doubles. If you are also diabetic then the risk quadruples. The same goes for women. This is why the percentage of autistic children has increased: adults who conceive eat worse and worse, having a diet based on fast food, sugar and tobacco.
Watching this interview with a Harvard expert in mental health will, hopefully, awaken you.
I have distilled huge important ideas that would help anyone who wants to change their current mental health condition in a better one.
Please , please make a change in your nutrition and give up toxic foods and vices before you conceive! We need adults who understand that a purification process is MANDATORY months before even thinking of having a baby.
Perhaps I sound harsh to you but believe me that the pain of having a child with issues is greater than the pain of having to discipline yourself!
