    Fetal Programming: The Connection between Nutrition and Disease covers the intestinal microbiota of newborns, how it is extremely prone to changes influenced by the method of delivery, diet, use of antibiotics and probiotics by the mother, environment, socioeconomic status of the mother, geographical location, infections with pathogenic microorganisms, and more. The book describes the root of disease—oxidative stress and improper nutrition—and how they specifically effect pregnancy. In recent years, it has become more and more evident that nutrition is crucial for the proper development of the immune system of the fetus, and its disruption can lead to disease.This period in a newborn’s life is crucial for interventions on the intestinal microbiota in order to reduce the risks of developing chronic diseases by correcting dysbiosis.
