					<description><![CDATA[Most pregnant women are told: 'Don't worry - eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what they need from you.' But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy can shape your baby's brain, body and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules. Until now. When biochemist Jessie InchauspÃ© became pregnant, she uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby's development in the womb; yet most women don't get nearly enough of the first three and too much of the fourth. In this work, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to: support your baby's brain development, cognitive growth and emotional resilience; help lower their risk of health challenges later in life, like asthma, allergies and diabetes; and influence your baby's body composition, organ function and long-term metabolism.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>From the author of the no. 1 internationally bestselling <i>Glucose Revolution, </i>the must-have guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition</b></p>
<p>Most pregnant women are told: &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what he needs from you.&#8221; But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy shapes your baby&#8217;s brain, body, and health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules &#8211; until now.</p>
<p>  When biochemist Jessie Inchauspé became pregnant, she sifted through hundreds of studies and uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby&#8217;s development in the womb; yet most women don&#8217;t get nearly enough of the first three-and too much of the fourth. And the effects can last a lifetime.</p>
<p>  In <i>9 Months That Count Forever</i>, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to optimise these four nutrients, and help give your baby a stronger foundation for life. These principles can:</p>
<p>&#8211; Support your baby&#8217;s brain development, cognitive growth, and emotional resilience<br />&#8211; Lower the risk of asthma, allergies, and diabetes later in life<br />&#8211; Influence your baby&#8217;s body composition, organ function, and long-term metabolism</p>
<p>  Complete with guidance on supplements, nausea, labour, breastfeeding, as well as meal plans and recipes, <i>9 Months That Count Forever</i> also shares Jessie&#8217;s deeply honest account of her own pregnancy journey, offering support and reassurance through these crucial months.</p>
<p>  This landmark book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy-and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>&#8220;If you buy one book this year make sure it&#8217;s this one&#8230; Enchanting.&#8221;</b><br /><b><i>Daily Mail</i></b></p>
<p><b>&#8220;This charming book weaves hedgehogs into our hearts, our lives and our national identity.&#8221;</b><br /><b>John Witherow</b></p>
<p>A few days after her elderly father is admitted to hospital, Sarah Sands and her grandson find a poorly hedgehog in the garden. They name her Peggy, and her fate becomes a matter of pressing concern.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>A beautifully written story about the end of life, in which hedgehogs become a metaphor for hope</b></p>
<p>It is the Winter Solstice and Sarah Sands is sitting by her father&#8217;s bedside, bracing herself for loss. What her father needs to do, she thinks, is conserve his energy &#8211; to hibernate like a hedgehog. When the hedgehog curls up in its bed of leaves, its heart rate slows, its body temperature drops and for months there it remains, hardly breathing at all.</p>
<p>A few days earlier, Sarah and her grandson had found a poorly hedgehog in the garden and taken it to the local hedgehog sanctuary. They named her Peggy, and her fate had become a matter of pressing concern. When death looms, it&#8217;s easier to talk about hedgehogs. There is something about these homely and yet mysterious creatures &#8211; prickly and defenceless, wild and tame &#8211; that, as Ted Hughes put it, makes us feel deeply sympathetic towards them.</p>
<p>Hedgehogs have captured the imagination of poets and philosophers for centuries. They have managed to outlive roads, dogs, strimmers and pesticides, but now they are an endangered species. For Sarah Sands, our failure to protect them is a symptom of our alienation from the living world. But all is not yet lost. In this charming, idiosyncratic book, she explores the meaning and morals of hedgehogs, and finds, in hedgehog world, a source of deep solace and wisdom.</p>
