With easy access to “convenient foods”, bad eating habits, long and odd working hours, stress, lack of sleep.. all this takes a toll on our body and mind. We cannot reverse the biological clock, but we can improve our lifestyle and fitness levels. This can go a long way from conception to delivery.
