Even though we generally try to eat healthy, everyone goes on a snatch from time to time. For example, a big cup of coffee with lots of milk and a cream cake on the side. But if you are pregnant, you should be much more careful about these getaways and eat with your developing baby in mind.
For example, during pregnancy, the need for more protein and calcium arises. Because these are essential for the bones and tissues of your growing baby. Just like you need extra folic acid to prevent some congenital defects and extra iron to help your blood cells carry more oxygen to your baby...
So how should you eat during pregnancy?
Whole grain products
Foods such as whole grain bread or muesli are rich in folic acid and iron. You can have it for breakfast, as a nice sandwich for lunch, or as a pilaf made of brown rice in the evening.
Beans
All types of beans should be on your table. You can consume it with meat or with salads. In addition to being a source of protein and fiber, beans are a rich source of calcium, zinc, folate and iron.
Beared fruits
Blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are very valuable nutritional sources. It is both a delicious snack and side dish. It can be put in yoghurt or mixed with cereal. It is rich in vitamin C, potassium and folate.
Salmon
Omega 3 fatty acids are very important for your baby's brain and eye development. It is also a source of protein and B vitamins. Salmon is also more innocent than other fish in terms of mercury. Consuming it once a week is enough.
Low-fat yoghurt
A cup of low-fat yoghurt contains more calcium than milk, but you can add dried or fresh fruit instead of adding sugar.
Egg
It is a super source of protein and amino acids. It contains many vitamins and minerals. It is important for the baby's brain development, but make sure it is well cooked when eating.
