8 Essential Foods During Pregnancy

4/18/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
What you feed your body has an impact on your overall well-being. More so, if you are pregnant. Here is a list of foods that are ideal for pregnant women.
Eggs
If you want the ultimate health food, then eat eggs. An egg contains vitamins, minerals, fat, protein, and calories. It also contains choline, which helps in the health and development of the brain.
 
Lean Meat
Pregnancy increases the volume of blood especially in the third trimester. During this period, you need more iron in your body to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Lean meat is a great source of iron and protein.
 
Fish Liver Oil
It has a high content of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids that are beneficial in the development of brain and eyes of the fetus. However, do not consume more than one tablespoon per day as high levels of omega-3 can result in blood thinning.
 
Avocados
Avocado is best suited for pregnant women, thanks to its high content of vitamins, folate, monounsaturated fatty acids (healthy fats), copper, and potassium. The healthy fats are essential for the fetal skin, tissues, and brain development. The potassium content also helps eliminate leg cramps.
 
Salmon
This is the type of food that gives omega-3 fatty acids in the body. During pregnancy, they help in building the eyes and brain of the fetus. But, remember to limit your consumption of seafood, including salmon to twice a week as they also have mercury content.
 
Dairy Products
Dairy contains high amounts of zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. It is also rich in whey and casein, which are high quality protein. Yogurt, especially the probiotic ones have calcium content that promotes digestive health. Yogurt is also a good alternative to pregnant women who are lactose intolerant.
 
Sweet Potatoes
Pregnant women have a vitamin A requirement in their body by at least 10%. The beta-carotene content in sweet potatoes are great sources of vitamin A. In addition, sweet potatoes have fiber that is beneficial for the health of the digestive system. It also aids in decreasing blood sugar spikes, and in increasing fullness.
 
Whole grains
Eating whole grains are rich in vitamins, protein, B-vitamins, magnesium, and fiber. They also help meet the calorie requirements of the body especially pregnant women.
 
Conclusion
It is important to take care of your health during pregnancy. You are not only feeding your body, but another human being inside of you. As you prepare for your childbirth, have you made the necessary preparations? Having the right health insurance coverage will aid you with the expenses related to your pregnancy and childbirth.
