What you eat affects your baby, you will hear everyone
saying this repeatedly and it’s a true fact.
A healthy nutritious diet and you’re sure to deliver a
healthy bouncy baby and a unhealthy diet and your baby will be under weight.
It’s not easy to transform your diet completely but
all we ask you to do is take an extra effort to improve it.
Not taking care of one’s nutrition is bound to affect
you and your baby.
If hungry grabbing a soda and chips or coffee and
cookie will fill you up but also have adverse effects on your system.
Everyone wants their babies to be healthy and so do we
and for that all you need to do is having an active regime and good nutritious
food.
Times have changed nowadays everything is available is
all stores. Our moms had to take extra efforts to make and eat and now all you
need to do is buy and eat.
Poor pregnancy diet will affect the baby and that is a
clear fact. Inadequate nutrition will show all thru your pregnancy in form of
acute morning sickness, heart burn, constipation, and lethargy and body
discomfort. Even after child birth it will take longer for you to heal and
while breast feeding you will not produce enough milk.
It’s your choice now, if you do want to go thru the above
mentioned discomfort all you need to do is eat good nutritional food.
Instead of gabbing cookies or fries or chips when
hungry try and eat whole wheat sandwich or salad or a yogurt or a fruit, you
have so many choices to eat. It’s not bad to once in a way indulge in junk but
once in a way. There is a strong reason why this food group is called JUNK food
as it’s nothing else but junk it will do no good to you, all it will help is in
pilling up extra kilos and making you and your baby obese.
You are pregnant now you have a child in your womb and
being responsible towards your and your baby’s health is your duty.
For prenatal nutrition all you need to do is making
sure you food consists of varied food groups listed below-
