Nutrition - Prenatal
Good prenatal nutrition is so important. Know the foods to eat that will make you and your baby healthy during the pregnancy period. Pregnancy requires added nutrients such as calcium, iodine, and many vitamins and minerals. The meal plan in order to be balanced should contain vitamins and minerals, protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, fiber, and fluids. The kinds of food to eat are fruits and veggies, bread, cereals, dairy food, fish, lean meats such as chicken breast and turkey. You need to eat enough but not too many amounts of these foods to compensate for all the work your body is doing and the baby’s additional needs.
The following table offers an overview of the variety of food you should eat for optimum health during pregnancy.
