Kim Kardashian To Eat Her Placenta To Ward Off Depression
Seems a tad futile to us, what with Christmas coming up, but then we’re not globally recognised. “1-9-0. I nearly died”, she said. Just kidding. She plans on having a big post-baby-body “reveal” once she’s ready – in a break-the-Internet way, one can only assume. Was Kim dumped by Kanye West just 4 days after giving birth to Saint West? The problem is that the decision seems to be more of her own than a couple’s decision, and Kanye would also have a say (to possibly reject Kim’s request).
Kim streamed a video of herself cooking for Caitlyn and although she didn’t appear on screen, she could be heard telling Jenner how her diet’s been going since welcoming baby Saint West.
In October, when Kim was months away from giving birth, she told her app subscribers that being pregnant was the “worst experience” she’d ever gone through.
Indeed, what does Kardashian West have to lose by eating an organ specifically meant to provide nutrients to a developing fetus?
The new mother-of-two revealed on her subscription-only website she’s having her placenta frozen and transformed into pills for consumption.
The 60-year-old momager also bragged about her new grandson. It’s quite literally the after birth, so lots of parents find the idea of dishing it up for dinner, well, a bit gross.
Some women, however, opt to eat the organ dried and blended into a smoothie, or even raw. You can serve it up in a smoothie or have it ground down into pills, a la Kim Kardashian, which will cost you around £150.
Research suggests opting to do this may prevent postnatal depression, increase milk supply and help mothers gain their energy back, but its benefits aren’t fully proven, so if you need further information, a trip to your GP’s office is the first step to take. First adopted in ancient Chinese remedies, placenta-eating has fans in January Jones and Gaby Hoffmann, and has won over the Oeuf crib-buying, babymooning set.
That’s right, the unthinkable act of eating your own organ has become quite a “thing” in recent years, thanks to the endorsement of some pretty hardy celebrities.
