1120 days of opportunities
What happens in the first 1000 days of human development, from the moment of conception to a child’s second birthday, are crucial for a baby’s lifelong health.
But did you know that our physical and mental health & wellbeing during the maturation process of our eggs and sperm are at least just as important?
The quality of our sperm & egg when conception occurs (largely determined by our lifestyles) are key determinants for the health of the future child.
So we want to make sure that our egg & sperm mature in healthy environments.
⏰ It takes 120 days for primordial follicles (the most immature stage of an ovarian follicle’s development) to reach mature follicles ready for ovulation and conception.
⏰ It takes 90 days to completely regenerate new sperm & for tiny male germ cells to mature into functional sperm.
🤗 What this means is that we have a unique period of opportunity: 1000 + AT LEAST the crucial 120 days to contribute to our baby’s health by first and foremost taking care of ourselves.
No matter where you are on your journey to parenthood — you may not be ready for a baby right now, or even in the next year, or you may have been trying for a while — don’t wait, start with self-nourishment today!
Want a self-nourishment tip as we are soon heading into the weekend?
😴 Get some QUALITY SLEEP. It is restorative for both hormone balance & is needed to produce healthy sperm & egg.
