“Take care of your germs!” Important steps for the development of the human microbiome.@ Bellies Abroad HQ
Nov 26 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
"Take care of your germs!" Important steps for the development of the human microbiome. @ Bellies Abroad HQ | Roma | Lazio | Italy
“Are hand sanitizers a good idea for small children? If I need to give my child antibiotics ,what can I do to offset their side effects? Is it a good idea to have a dog at home with young children?
should I sterilize the bottles and pacifiers every day?”

Lots of things that happen during the first 3 years of life are beyond our control, but certain practices might help our little ones to live in harmony with their microbes which can have long term benefits for their immune systems.

The microbiome is the collective genome of the microbes that live both inside and on our body. These microorganisms are very old friends to humans, but it is only recently that we have begun to understand their impact on our health and wellbeing such as fending off pathogens, tuning the immune system and even influencing mental health.

Babies acquire these germs predominantly from their mother, then from other family members, and the environment. From birth to the age of three the microbiome is extremly dynamic and intervention during this period could have life long effects. Then after the age of three, a toddler’s microbiome is more adult-like and tends to bounce back after challenges.

Join us for a meeting with Fanette Fontaine, phD to talk about the preciousness of the human microbiome and its importance on our health and learn simple tools to preserve your child’s microbiome.

Please reserve your space by writing to info@belliesabroad.com, those who prefer to attend remotely are welcome to!

Yoga in Gravidanza (Mattinata)@ ONLINE
May 22 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Yoga in Gravidanza (Mattinata) @ ONLINE

Through our pregnancy yoga classes we prepare the mind to listen to our body and our body to the changes of these wonderful 9 months in preparation for the big day! Yoga allows us to strengthen and enhance our overall well-being through specific postures (Asana), and allows us to assume positions that will help us during childbirth. We already experience in our pregnancy, the close alternation of movement and relaxation, closure and opening, strength and flexibility. We work on breathing but also on our emotions and give a space to devote to the relationship between you and your baby, shifting our attention from outside to inside, facing pregnancy with a relaxed, positive and present approach.

The classes are held in Italian but Karin speaks English and is happy to help when needed.
