heehor 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2008 Birdnest has high protient content that is required for the growth of the baby. Deep sea fish such as cod fish and salmon is good for brain building. A lot of milk is requird for bone formation. Losts of fruit is also good. My wife had lots of birdnest (once every week) when she was carrying our first child and the baby has ezema (a sensitive skin condition). No gaurantee for everything. Thank god for the gift and always be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 sorry if i offend anyone here, think it all just boils down to genes if you have good genes, your baby will be clever, with good complexion more and more scientific researches are showing that everything is linked to genes even cancer risks and allergies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gumbokins 5 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 sorry if i offend anyone here, think it all just boils down to genes if you have good genes, your baby will be clever, with good complexion more and more scientific researches are showing that everything is linked to genes even cancer risks and allergies genes don't 100% determine your 'destiny', because environmental factors play a part too. everybody has cancer genes, but you can lower the risk of 'triggering' them through good habits and diet.

applefreak 1 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) erm actually hor, cancer genes don't get triggered by environmental factors the latest trend now is to go for cancer-gene testing and removing the organ it's pretty drastic but if it saves one's life, why not? read about this on a medical journal about this family who has a gene for acute stomach cancer the only way to arrest the problem is to remove the stomach once the cancer start, there is no way to save the patient the grandmother was the one carrying the gene out of the 20 plus cousins, more than ten got the gene the interviewee didn't go for the surgery at first until 4 of his cousins died of the same cancer, even though they had quarterly checkups that's how fast that particular cancer spreads food and habits can help to a certain extent but ultimately it boils down to genes...

gumbokins 5 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 because having the gene, doesn't mean you will 100% get it. but it varies from cancer to cancer. take breast cancer for instance. having the BRCA1 mutation means you're just more likely (b/w 3-7x more) to get breast cancer, but it doesn't mean you will. most breast cancers are sporadic, with no family history. intelligence and complexion may, to a certain extent be influenced by genes but if you give a child a good education and learning skills and get them to have a healthy diet and lots of sleep, surely you can get a clever kid with a nice complexion?

applefreak 1 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 for the case study i was referring to, it was a 100% thing no ifs or buts, either remove or die because it was a specific gene mutation that is directly related to this particular form of cancer i believe there is no concrete evidence to show BRCA1 is the cancer causing gene it's just that more breast cancer patients also has mutation in the BRCA1 my point here is that clever a.k.a. intelligence (to me) is born giving them a good education and learning skills doesn't make them more so it just make them more knowledgeable and academically inclined similarly to good complexion, healthy diet and lots of sleep only helps if the child's gene is with good complexion things we can do is to help with what is already there just like we can zhng a nissan all we want, but it will never outrun a porsche Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkitsch 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 Too much of anything is always not good. Have sufficient intake of fish, eggs, tofu etc is more important as having a good health is beneficial to having a healthy baby. I'm not sure if there's any substantial evidence but i feel having too much of birdnest may actually harm your baby. A friend of mine had birdnest every other day and her baby ended up with very sensitive skin. Of course, formula-feeding may also be a contributing cause but it's better to be safe than sorry. So Birdnest is good to have in moderation, perhaps once or twice a month. As to your question of having a brainy baby, like what Thomas Edison said, 'Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration'. You'll need alot of hard work to excel in anything. I've seen parents who are hawkers and their children are doctors or lawyers and they don't even take any special herbs when they're pregnant. So having the apt environment and correct values/teachings as well as the right support, they will grow up and excel in their own fields. So you too will have to work hard in your parenting skills to bring up someone of good character and values. Just my 2cents! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
