What is a proper diet during\npregnancy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your baby needs certain substances for healthy development and growth.\nTherefore, your daily menu should consist of products that contain such\nelements. You should not be afraid of the word \u201cdiet\u201d – you do not have to\nstarve yourself! A balanced diet for pregnant women is beneficial and varied. In\nfact, it\u2019s not about consuming less, it\u2019s about making healthier options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few recommendations, adhering to which you can be sure to\nfully provide your baby with all the necessary substances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to starve yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have a snack between main meals. Drink at least 8 glasses of\nwater a day. However, consult with your doctor about the amount of fluid that\nshould be consumed, since an excess of water in the body can cause the\nformation of edema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diversify your menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine foods from different food groups: carbohydrates, proteins, fats,\nvitamins and minerals, fiber. However, do not forget that it is necessary to\ncombine them correctly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drink fresh juices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juicer is an indispensable thing during pregnancy and after childbirth\n(for cooking meals for your baby).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Include soup in your diet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soups are simply needed for a proper diet, they are easily digested and\nare rich in nutrients. You can cook soups by using leftover meats and vegetable\nbroths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat dairy products<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dairy products are indispensable if you want to improve your digestion.\nIn addition, they are very tasty. Choose all the kefirs, yogurts and sour creams\nthat you want, but make sure that they have low fat content. Don\u2019t forget about\ncheese because it contains a lot of calcium, but once again, make sure that it\nis also low in fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not forget about meat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preference should be given to low-fat meats. Remove the skin from a bird\nand steam it. Avoid sausages and high-fat meat. This will help to control\nnormal weight gain during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not exclude fish from your\ndiet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fish and seafood are one of the main sources of high-quality proteins\nand omega-3 fatty acids. Fish also contains phosphorus, which plays an\nimportant role in the formation of your baby\u2019s bone tissue. It should be\nsteamed or baked, fried fish is better to be avoided<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not forget about eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eggs will provide your body with the necessary amount of protein. Eat\nthem boiled or as an omelet. Try to eat no more than 3-4 eggs per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Include vegetable oil in your\ndiet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegetable oils are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which the body\nneeds to build cell membranes, and other biologically active substances. You\ncan season your salads with olive, sunflower, corn or linseed oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limit sugar and salt consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should avoid canned foods that contain a lot of salt, as their\nconsumption accumulates excess fluid in your body – this causes swelling. In\naddition, excessive salt intake can lead to atherosclerosis and hypertension.\nReplace salt with spices and aromatic herbs. Regarding the consumption of\nsweets, give preference to low-sugar jams and jellies; replace muffins and\nchocolate with fruits, nuts and porridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee is not prohibited<\/strong> It\u2019s not necessary to avoid coffee during pregnancy. Just do not make it too strong – it can badly affect the nervous system of your baby. In addition, don\u2019t drink too much coffee, since excessive consumption threatens to dehydrate and flush out the calcium from the body. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
