Know what to eat, is the basis
Women who plan to become mothers should know the principles of proper nutrition.
We wish to give you several useful hints, which will help you avoid negative results of the diet and will help you adjust it to your needs:• Diversified meals. There isn’t one product which would contain all the necessary nutritional elements (there are cca. 60 of them). The greater variety of the dishes we eat, the more beneficial it is to our health.
• Only whole-grain bread. Whole grain rye bread has about 3-5 times more minerals than white bread, it is also richer in vitamins and food fibre.
• Double amount of iron in the diet. A pregnant woman should, then, eat meat, poultry or cured meats twice a day (low-fat kinds are recommended). It is advised to eat for every meal vegetables and fruit rich in vitamin C which improves assimilation of iron.
• Fish are indispensible – they are a great source of valuable protein.
• Vegetable oil for salads made from raw vegetables – at least one spoonful a day. It contains unsaturated fatty acids, necessary for the proper course of pregnancy.
• Increasing the consumption of milk and dairy products. They are very important both for the woman and the child since they contain calcium, witamin B2, B12 and high value protein. Low-fat products make it easier to maintain an adequate body weight.
• A minimum of 1 kg fruit and vegetables a day, they are the best source of vitamins and minerals.
• Ban on alcohol, reduction in drinking strong coffee and smoking cigarettes. Dopes are also prohibited. They increase the risk of miscarriage and may damage the fetus.
In this period the demand for vitamins and minerals significantly increases, even by 50-100%. But the calorific value of daily food intake should increase only by 300 kcal.
Many women watch their figure, applying different kinds of slimming diets, often poorly balanced and leading to deficiencies of nutritional elements.
A pregnant woman must satisfy not only her own nutritional needs but also the needs of the fetus developing in her womb. That’s why you should remember to eat diversified meals, rich in natural products and beware of any kind of stimulants. For your own and your child’s health.
