Pre-pregnancy diet impacts father's influence on baby's health

A scientific study confirmed that parental dietary habits before conception have a significant impact on the health of the newborn. Fathers who consume large amounts of processed foods tend to have babies with higher body mass and excessive fat at birth, increasing their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases later in life. The study also showed that poor eating habits can affect the IGF-2 gene, which plays a role in fetal growth, leading to smaller and shorter children with reduced brain size. Researchers found that paying attention to the dietary habits of both fathers and mothers is essential to ensure good health for the offspring.
