Healthy connection during embryo stage :
Plain vegetarian food is the preferred diet during the nine months of pregnancy even in the advanced nations of Europe and the USA. They also firmly believe that the sphere of the impact of food and habits of a pregnant lady stretches from the child's body to his temperament. Non-vegetarian and peppery and spicy food makes a child non-compassionate and inhuman. He is much less virtuous. The genes of children of pregnant ladies, who continue to smoke cigarettes and drink wine during pregnancy, are so severely affected that they are certain to get specific diseases related to these vices.
In short, during pregnancy, ice-cream, aerated drinks, ready-made and cheap food-stuffs, food and drinks that are prohibited by our religion and nutritionists should not be consumed. It is very necessary that simple rules and regulations governing good health and food are strictly followed.
The mother's eating habits have a strong and deep impact on the child's physical, mental and intellectual development.
The mother should take meals in a happy state of mind, and a pleasant and loving environment, where family values are upheld. Before taking meals she should chant the holy navkar mantra thrice and her whole being should be filled with the thought "my child should progress, should do well and should be fortunate". Restraint on the Senses :
Like restraint on food, is important the restraint on the five senses.
