Top 5 Foods to Eat During Pregnancy

Expecting? During your pregnancy it’s very important for you and your baby to eat a healthy diet.  Proper nutrition helps build your baby’s brain, boosts IQ, and prevents birth defects. Incorporate these into your diet, and you’ll be doing a world of good for yourself and your baby.                                                                                                                                                                           skin-healthy-food

  1. Berries: Packed with carbohydrates, vitamin C, potassium, folate, and fiber. The phytonutrients in berries have beneficial plant compounds that protect cells from damage.
  2. Flax Seeds & Chia Seeds: Great for healthy hair, skin and nails especially during pregnancy. These seeds contain an abundance of antioxidants, complete protein and they are also a great source of fiber.
  3. Green Leafy Veggies:  Probably the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food. They are a rich source of minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins.
  4. Organic Free Range Eggs: Loaded with protein and healthy fats. They contain more than a dozen vitamins and minerals, including choline, which is good for baby’s brain development.
  5. Cultured or Fermented Dairy:Yogurt, kefir or amasai are high in fat soluble vitamins like Vit. E, Vit. A, Vit. K. They’re highly important in supporting the brain and the nervous system in early development.  I don’t suggest dairy that’s been ultra-pasteurized.
