Eat well when pregnant is very important. There are a lot of confusion about what to eat when you are pregnant and foods to avoid during pregnancy. A healthy diet can help you stay fit, to keep you physically prepared for your delivery and keep your energy level.
The list of foods to eat during pregnancy following:
1. Fruits and vegetables: especially dark green vegetables (which provide much folic acid) and citrus
2. Carbohydrates: breads, grains, cereals, pasta and potatoes
3. Milk and milk products: such as yoghurt, cheese and cottage cheese, making sure to choose fat fat versions whenever possible
4. Lean meats and fish, for they bring a lot of essential fatty acids. Studies have also noted that expectant mothers and children who eat fish at least once a week were less likely to give birth prematurely. Take fish oils, which include mackerel, sardines, fresh tuna and trout. Fish oils are also considered good for the sight of children.
However, experts advise women not to eat two servings of fish oil per week during pregnancy. Do not eat swordfish, shark or marlin when you’re pregnant and do not consume more than two tuna steaks a week (or 140 g of tuna cooked in total) because these fish contain a large dose of mercury ( which is potentially harmful to developing nervous system of your baby)
5. Water or other liquids healthy: stay hydrated by drinking glasses of water (normal size) frequently, or if you prefer, fruit juice or vegetable diluted. This further from fatigue and headaches, and contribute to the smooth functioning of your kidneys and your bladder.
