in the context of pregnancy  including the nature of the placenta as a proinflammatory tissue.

of the book focuses on a variety of nutritional measures and diets that can be of benefit
during and beyond pregnancy. Readers will learn how the higher level of compliance with medical
instructions during pregnancy can be capitalized on to ensure enduring health benefits for
