What if your eating habits are far from ideal? What is the right way to switch to a healthy diet without harming yourself and your child? A fairly smooth transition to a menu ideal for pregnant women is required.
As a rule, very many women have to change their style and diet during pregnancy. If earlier in your menu there were semi-finished products, sausages, baked goods and other products containing a lot of fats, carcinogens and sugar, then during childbearing and breastfeeding, they must be abandoned. The best choice will be simple products - fish, red lean meat, whole milk, cottage cheese (only not fat-free), natural yogurt without sugar and additives, cereals, kefir.
Vegetables and fruits should be an important part of a pregnant woman's diet. You should try to consume vegetables and fruits with every meal. Make smoothies, fruit, vegetable, oatmeal and milk. Bake vegetables for a side dish, steam them, just chop coarsely and make a salad
Be sure to eat whole grains. They will be the main source of energy in your body. Meat and fish will provide your little one with the protein and protein they need for their full development and growth. Be sure to use separate kitchen boards for cutting meat and fish. It is best if they are of different colors so as not to accidentally use them for slicing bread or vegetables. It is necessary to remove the skin from chicken meat - there is nothing useful in it for the body of a pregnant woman.
Boil kernel buckwheat for a side dish, bake chicken breast, make a salad of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, Chinese cabbage and herbs finely torn by your hands. Season the vegetable salad with a spoonful of olive oil and your favorite spices - this is the perfect dinner for a pregnant woman.
Remember, a pregnant woman who wants to eat healthy and give birth to a healthy baby needs at least two servings of protein products a day. Legumes are a wonderful source of vegetable protein - lentils, beans, chickpeas, peas, and, unfairly disliked by our fellow citizens, soy. If a pregnant woman adheres to vegetarianism, then she must definitely eat vegetable protein.
Be sure to eat dairy products. Only in no way fat-free - in order for the body of a pregnant woman to assimilate all the useful elements that are contained in dairy products, they must necessarily contain fats. Choose dairy products from two and a half to five percent fat.
