I'm feeling so clever. A few years ago I planted a pomegranate tree and hoped for the best, giving it an occasional water and prune. This year, it produced 3 pomegranates. Two of these burst open before I picked them but fortunately the seeds inside were intact. My love affair with pomegranates began many years ago when travelling in Iran, where you would see dozens of piles of pomegranates on the sides of the roads while driving past. I also enjoyed Iranian dishes that combined pomegranates and meat. My favourite was Fesan Jun. These are truly amazing to eat directly from the fruit, where you get every bit of all the huge range of nutrients they contain. Truly unique and delicious. My husband and I are enjoying the juicy seeds simply with yoghurt, for our breakfast.

FEVER FEAR.
Many parents are frightened of fevers in their children, believing that it can lead to serious illness or death. Did you know that most of the time, fevers are a healthy and normal response to infections and a higher body temperature helps to kill bugs? Fevers can also stimulate immune function.

Here is a sample of Part 3 of Planning Parenthood in the Age of Autism for you to see how straightforward nuturing a child's neurodevelopment can be.
Dealing with autism is overwhelming for parents.
So much information about management and treatment is available, but precious little about prevention. In fact it is commonly believed that there is nothing that can be done about autism - families just have to 'wait and see' if it will happen to them.
This seems impossible with today's information overload. My goal is to help parents to take preventative action that can bring hope and empowerment to parents.
When you take a look at the risk factors outlined in 'Planning Parenthood in the Age of Autism - a Research Based Guide' it is easy to recognise that most people are exposed to many of these risk factors. The more risk factors a growing baby is exposed to, the higher the risk is of neurodevelopmental challenges ahead.
Some risk factors can be avoided, others not. One thing every parent can do, is to become aware of what can protect against the risk factors and use them liberally. This doesn't have to be about specialised or expensive products. Many of these are affordable and available - the trick is knowing what the key things are that you can start using right away.

Vitamin D is about much more than strong bones. There are vitamin D receptors in most cells of the body, meaning that it affects many parts of the body. Two of these are the immune system, and the nervous system. Unfortunately many people, including pregnant women have below ideal levels of vitamin D This study shows that vitamin D levels in pregnancy affect the cognitive abilities of their children at 4 years old. It's easy to get your levels checked with a home kit, or from your doctor.
