Gary Brecka explains how pregnancy stresses a woman's body at the cellular level. The fetus draws resources like a parasite, the immune system works overtime managing semi-foreign DNA, and some research shows pregnancy accelerates aging, though recovery may follow.
Pregnancy. I think a medical it's an amazing like another human comes out of a human.
And, you know, not to frame it the wrong way, but it's a parasitic relationship between the fetus and the mother. The fetus is there to take everything that it needs for itself. And so that withdraws a lot from the mother.
And like I said, because the baby's DNA, half of it is foreign to the mom. So there is this kind of a barrier where you don't want the mom to reject the baby, so her immune system is active. So this is also adding to more stress on her organs. And we know there are a few studies show that moms with age faster after a pregnancy, but then they can catch up later on. But you're constantly fired throughout nine months. So imagine what that can cost your body. And the body of women is so resilient, it's unbelievable.
