From the moment we understand that another life is growing inside us, ours turns 180 degrees. We become more sensitive, we need more attention. Last but not least are the good food we should take and physical exercise.
When a pregnant woman eats a balanced diet and maintains her body with light exercise, her recovery after birth will be faster.
When we don't eat for two, we don't put ourselves and the baby we're expecting at risk.
There are five food groups that we need to eat wisely during pregnancy.
Bread, cereals
A pregnant woman needs at least three servings daily of these foods. They should not be overdone. Consume them for breakfast and lunch. Pasta should not be more than one cup per day. Cereals are high in carbohydrates and are a major source of energy.
Vegetables
Contain fiber, minerals and vitamin А and C. Rich in these vitamins are broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, peppers.
Vitamin A supports cell growth.
Fruits
Eat citrus fruits because they are high in vitamin C. You can consume them throughout the day in the form of a fruit salad or as fresh juices. Apricots are in season, which are also very he althy.
Meat, chicken, fish, eggs
These products are rich in protein and help growth of new cells.
Milk and milk products
Contain a lot of calcium and proteins. Take enough of them.
Avoid fatty and fried foods, as well as white sugar and sweets. Eating during pregnancy determines your comfort and that of the baby.
