Kim plans to eat her placenta after birth to 'look young'

Last week Kim Kardashian revealed that she plans to eat her placenta following the birth of her first child next month.
In Sunday night's episode of her reality show the 32-year-old revealed that she was having a baby girl and then shocked viewers when she told her doctor that she hopes to eat the placenta after the birth.
'Don’t you think it makes you look younger? I really want to do it,' Kim said, much to the horror of her mother Kris Jenner.
Kim would not be the first celebrity mother to eat her placenta for its nutritious benefits


As well as reportedly helping you 'appear youthful', Chinese herbalists among others believe that re-ingesting the protective layer that connects the baby to the wall of the uterus is a great way to nourish the body following childbirth.
The placenta contains high levels of oxytocin, and as hormone levels drop after giving birth, is believed to be a good way to replace them, which can prevent postpartum depression.

'Every other mammal on the planet comsumes the placenta imediately after birth. It helps increase breast milk supply, reduces bleeding and increases iron levels and energy.
'It is a  normal, natural way to heal quicker and feel better after birth. It contains iron, hormones, minerals and has a much higher absorption rate than supplements.

Waoh ....Can you eat yours?
