have a baby!
|

A healthy pregnancy for you and your baby!
Experience a nutrition program designed to promote the health and
well-being of your and your baby through pregnancy and beyond. |
|
What you eat
right before and during your pregnancy can affect the health of your
growing baby. Even before you start trying to get pregnant, you
should take special care of your health. Adopting and maintaining
healthy eating patterns before your pregnancy will provide benefits
that go well beyond your immediate well-being, by supporting your
future pregnancy and ensuring a healthier you later in life. |
|
|
The complex processes that
occur during pregnancy require a rich supply of protein, vitamins
and minerals for both mother and child. If you've built up good
stores of nutrients before conception through a healthy diet, the
added demands of pregnancy can be met with modest adjustments. If,
however, your nutrient stores are low, you run a greater risk of
diet-related problems during pregnancy, such as anemia. Because they
will miss out on critical nutrients during their development, these
same nutrient deficiencies could also place your baby at risk.
|
| It goes without
saying that the foods we consume on a daily basis can affect our
health in a positive or negative way. Nutrient rich foods can
bolster our immune systems, allow us to age gracefully, help us
maintain a healthy figure and carry us through the day as it
supplies the necessary energy for our bodies to do work. Foods that
are high in calories and low in nutrients, also called ‘empty
calories,’ can have the opposite affect; leading to suppressed
immune systems, bodies that look old before their time and lead to
extra pounds that seem to creep on year after year. Pregnancy is the
one time in your life when your eating habits directly affect
another person. |
| Because of these
reasons it is crucial to assess where you are at with your health,
weight and dietary patterns as early as possible before pregnancy.
By improving your eating patters, nutritional status, weight and
your health you will enter into the pregnancy in a better place for
you and your baby. But remember that it is never too late to start!
