Maternal Diet Shapes Baby's Facial Features in Womb: Recent Research

A new study suggests that a pregnant mother's diet, particularly her protein intake, could influence the facial features of her baby in the womb by affecting gene activity. High-protein diets were linked to more pronounced facial features, while low-protein diets resulted in slimmer, pointier features. This research adds to the growing body of evidence showing the impact of maternal diet on fetal development and health outcomes in children, with implications for facial shape and potential long-term health risks.
