Body and Soul
|
| Body and Soul is a prenatal health curriculum that seeks to connect the mind, body, and soul for stress reduction during pregnancy. The idea behind Body and Soul is that stress negatively affects pregnancy and contributes to preterm labor, so it would be ideal to eliminate unhealthy stress. One of the first steps to a healthy pregnancy is to avoid stress by staying healthy both mentally and physically.
The curriculum has components that address nutrition, positive mental health, and relaxation techniques. Faith based communities are asked to intertwine their spiritual beliefs with the Body and Soul curriculum to achieve ultimate physical and mental health. |
