Women’s health

Pregnancy is the most wonderful and at the same time serious and responsible period any woman passes. During pregnancy your nutrition should consist only of natural products. Optimum nutrition is a vital component of prenatal care.
We used to think that woman, waiting for a child, must “eat for two”.  But of course, if you are pregnant, it doesn’t mean throwing dietary caution to the winds! For instance, there is no need to double your portion sizes.
Read the next restrictions and try to follow them. Remember, all decisions concerning your diet you make at this time will influence on you and your baby.
First of all give up smoking if you do. The same is for alcohol. No amount is safe for the baby.
Try to cut down on caffeine, which interferes with iron absorption. Drink no more than 1-2 cups a day of caffeinated drinks. It will be better for you to drink herbal tea, or decaf coffee or tea. Drink plenty of fluids and eat fiber to prevent constipation.
It is important to reduce sugar and salt consumption. If you are inclined to surplus weight, follow the prenatal supplement program outlined by your doctor.
Majority of pregnant women carry toxicosis during pregnancy. To prevent morning sickness and heartburn it is much better to eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than a few large ones.
