After learning that Kim Kardashian could spend a million dollars on the preparations for her delivery, we now get the news that this businesswoman, model and actress is thinking about eating the placenta after giving birth.
Protagonist of the reality show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians", in the last chapter he explained that the baby that will soon be born is a girl and that he has talked to his doctor in reference to placentophagy, responding to him that It is a practice that has multiple benefits.
Kardashian has heard that eating the placenta helps to rejuvenate the skin and it seems that motivates him to do so, although it is not a practice that is widespread.
It is said that eating the placenta is an act that most mammals do after giving birth to their young. Placenta It contains prostaglandins, which help the uterus to involve, decreasing the risk of bleeding. In addition, it contains small amounts of oxytocin, which helps to relax the mother a little after childbirth and that contract the uterus and muscles around the breast areola to get colostrum.
In addition, the placenta contains a molecule called "Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor" that potentiates the effect of opioids produced by the mother herself to reduce pain and that naturally favors the decrease of pain after giving birth. Rejuvenating the skin is not so clear and in fact it does not make much sense, because I do not think that nature has thought that the best thing that can happen to a mother after giving birth and eating the placenta is that her skin is younger . You may say so because of the cream treatments made with placenta of animals that are made some famous with the intention of eliminating wrinkles.
The question is whether he will finally do it, if Kim Kardashian will finally eat the placenta as January Jones seems to have done, which turned it into tablets that were taken over time as a source of vitamins and energy, or as did Tom Cruise, who ate the placenta of his daughter Suri Cruise.
I confess a little reluctantly to this practice, not because it makes no sense or does not take effect, but rather because of a question of "aunt, are you going to eat the placenta?" (yes, what an argument ...). Since the effects are not too proven, I don't know if it just made sense nowadays to do it.
Uterine involution occurs naturally after delivery and putting the child to the chest makes the same oxytocin secretion help. The placenta also contains oxytocin, but as I say, the act of breastfeeding already causes the mother to secrete oxytocin and the colostrum begins to segregate. They also say that it can help prevent postpartum depression, but I still see more important that there is a quick connection between the baby and the mother, without being separated.
To all this, there is little left for Kim to give birth, Will he eat it finally?
