In the episode of her reality show, 'keeping up with the kardasians' on
Sunday night, Kim revealed that she was having a baby girl, but also
shocked viewers when she told her doctor that she hopes to eat the
placenta after the birth. She said it makes one look younger much to the
horror of her sister and 'mom-ager' Kris Jenner.
Kim would not be the first celebrity mother to eat her placenta for its nutritious benefits.
After the birth of her son Xander, January Jones widely spoke about how she had eaten hers, although she was unsure at first.
The actress told People Magazine: 'It's something I was very hesitant about, but we're only the only
mammals who don't ingest our own placentas. It's not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!'
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.
