Pregnancy: Nutrition

 


Enough healthy nutrition during pregnancy is crucial for the growth and development of your unborn child. You should consume 200 to 300 more calories than you did before becoming pregnant during the second and third trimesters. Consider this to be an additional snack you have throughout the day. A nutritious diet is essential while pregnant. A person can fulfil the increased physical demands of pregnancy and support the development of the fetes by eating optimally.

A person's diet should contain a balance of proteins, carbs, and fats for a healthy pregnancy. However, some foods and beverages, like alcohol and some cheeses, can be harmful to a pregnant woman's health and the health of her unborn child.

Medical professionals recommend having a balanced diet rich in nutrient-dense foods, including various animal and plant-based proteins, fruits, grains, and vegetables during pregnancy. During pregnancy, doctors and gynecologists advise eating a balanced diet full of nutrient-dense foods such as a variety of animal and plant-based proteins, fruits, grains, and vegetables. Pregnancy and nursing increase a person's need for water- and fat-soluble vitamins. Folate, choline, and the vitamins B12, A, and D are a few examples of this.

A pregnancy nutrition plan should include:

·   consuming the right amount of protein from both plant and animal sources, including fish, poultry, eggs, and lentils

·      carbohydrates high in fibre, such as those found in oats, sweet potatoes, and fruit.

·      Yogurt, avocados, almonds, seeds, and other sources of healthful fats

CAFFEINE IN PREGNANCY: YES/NO???

Image
One of the stimulants that people consume the most frequently is caffeine.   It can be found in a wide range of foods and drinks, including as coffee, tea, chocolate, items made with cocoa, soft drinks, and energy drinks. Additionally, it is increasingly being utilised as a component in prescription and over-the-counter drugs for the treatment of colds, the flu, headaches, menstruation symptoms, weight reduction, and stimulation of the central nervous system. Adenosine, adrenergic, cholinergic, -aminobutyric acid, and serotonin receptors are just a few of the receptors that caffeine interacts with to have an effect on the body. Because caffeine crosses the placental barrier, its elimination half-life lengthens in late gestation, and newborns do not properly metabolise caffeine until they are 3 months old, there are concerns about caffeine consumption during pregnancy or nursing.
