Women who desire a successful pregnancy over 45 years old should begin to prepare their bodies for the pregnancy at least five months in advance. They will want to give birth to a strong and healthy baby, and need to supply a healthy egg which can be easily fertilized.

We are blessed with millions of eggs at the time of birth, and hen we attain our 40s, we are still left with a large number of unfertilized ova in our ovaries, waiting to be fertilized and thereafter, a baby.

Healthy eggs are not an accident. A healthy environment free of stress and toxins are a very positive start. If you also assure your body of being hormonally balanced with good nutrition and the appropriate antioxidants you hedge the opportunity for conceiving even more.

The follicle begins to develop into two times its earlier size, roughly five months prior to ovulation, and around a month later, it again attains two times its earlier size. The follicle undergoes various transformations in the following 3 months. The follicle starts responding to FSH, 2-3 weeks before ovulation. FSH helps the follicle to grow twice its size, to commence producing estrogen, and release an egg thereafter.

There are things you can do to assure the healthy development of your egg. Hormones need to be present in order for the production of an egg to take place. The ingesting of non-organic dairy or meat products can disrupt the balance of hormones needed for follicles to grow.

Many chemicals may be mistaken for hormones. These “copycat” chemicals are often present in fruit and vegetable sprays, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and other pre-prepared food additives. Home sanitizing products often contain petroleum based chemicals, as do cosmetics and medication residues.

Because of this, detoxifying your body is important. If you are familiar with and have been exposed to the aforementioned chemicals, you may wish to consider a 28 day cleansing regimen comprised of five cleanses. The regimen should include colon, liver, kidney, parasite, and heavy metal cleanses. This will be especially beneficial if you have previously tried In Vitro Fertilization or fertility drugs, as they have undoubtedly had an effect on your hormonal balance and ovulation.

Earlier we talked about proper nutrition and its affect on your body. There is a good chance, if you eat like a Westerner, that you are not getting the minerals and vitamins needed to stay healthy. Organic foods are a good start but all women, especially mature mothers, need to start with supplements before they are pregnant in order to assure their babies the health they deserve.

Obtaining a high quality nutritional supplement is vital. Many supplements on the market today include chemicals that are similar in form to vitamins, but which the body is unable to digest and absorb as it should. Supplements containing superfoods are a good choice because they are high in nutrients. Superfoods have been scientifically demonstrated to provide meaningful and important health benefits.

Alkagreens Plus, green superfood mix, and AntioxiPlus consisting of superfood fruits with antioxidant benefits, are the two supplements which work beautifully on my mature mothers.
