Foods for Expecting Mothers to Eat During Pregnancy
Leafy greens and broccoli
Dark green leafy vegetables and broccoli are packed with all the nutrient you need during pregnancy. They are rich in iron, potassium, Vitamin A, C, K, calcium, and folate. Green leafy vegetables are known to reduce the risk of pre-term delivery and cure constipation.
Fish liver oil
We all have grown up taking fish liver cod oil. Taking it in pregnancy too is a wise idea. Fish liver oil is made from oily liver of fish and is rich in fatty acids like DHA and EPA, Vitamin D, and folate. Vitamin D content helps in reducing Vitamin D deficiency and reduces the risk of preeclampsia in pregnant women.
The bottom line is whatever you eat during pregnancy directly affects you and the baby. Although gaining weight is necessary in pregnancy, it is important to gain it in the right way. The best way to keep your developing baby healthy is to start by keeping yourself healthy. This list will help you towards a healthy pregnancy.
