This list Is based on the  
Weston A Price recommended diet for nursing and
 pregnant mothers. I've made a few changes to the list,
 as per updated information.   I really like checklists,
so I put this together in a printable check-list format you can
 easily stick on your fridge!   I've added preconception
 to the title, because that is a very important time
 to prepare one's body for growing a baby- and
the 3 months before pregnancy should be treated
as if you were pregnant, because that is when a
woman's body is preparing and ripening an egg
to be ready for fertilization.  Also it's a great time for
 men to be eating these foods as well, as it takes their
 bodies ~3 months start to finish to make healthy,
viable sperm.

This list is of course considering all food sources be
organic, pastured or grass-fed.  For the simple list
purpose, I took the specifics out.

While making this list, I realize, I never eat ALL of
these foods in one day, or frequently enough
(like seafoods), to provide enough nourishment
for myself- let a lone if I were growing another child. 

I'd like to challenge myself to try to eat the foods on
the checklist, each day/week, and see if it's realistic
 to eat this much food- and then based on how I can fit
these foods into my life on a daily weekly basis-
and work it into a reasonable goal.

NOURISH THE SOIL, BEFORE YOU PLANT THE SEED

In nature, we know it's important to have healthy, 
nutrient rich soil- for the best start and long-term
 success of growing a seedling into a well formed, 
fruit bearing plant. 
I feel that it is very important to Nourish one's self
well before pregnancy, and especially between
 subsequent pregnancies.  Each stage of this life cycle
 has extreme nutritional demands-  preparing for
conception, pregnancy, labor and birth, breastfeeding
and recovery.  I know after I had my first child, I felt
nutritionally wiped out for several years after she was born.   

When I have my next child, I want to be prepared,
and prepare my body in advance, so I have FULL
nutritional reserves.   So, you might see a few more
 posts about preconception related topics, since it's on my mind.
