Nutrition Tips during Pregnancy
Eat
small frequent meals throughout the day. Five to six meals balanced
with a little protein and carbohydrates are optimal.
Eliminate
or minimize toxic chemicals from your life.
Tobacco and second hand smoke
Alcohol
Caffeine
Artificial sweeteners
Artificial ingredients, coloring, preservatives,
hydrogenated fats, etc.
Hormones in dairy products & meats
Fish with high Mercury content (Swordfish and Tuna)
Heavy duty cleaning chemicals
Beauty products with a lot of chemicals (deodorant,
shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, etc.)
Drink
at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. Your fluid needs increase
during pregnancy, yet you may not crave them as much.
If
you are able to exercise, create a general exercise plan for your health
and stress management. Moderate walking, swimming, and prenatal yoga
are great workouts for most pregnant women.
Monitor
stress and sleep habits. If you are overwhelmed and having trouble
sleeping, try fitting in daytime naps and incorporate some stress
management techniques.
Always seek the direct advice of your own doctor in
connection with any questions or issues you may have regarding your own
pregnancy or health. more »
