You only have your health, and that is also the best present you can give your unborn baby. You should take a long hard look at your pregnancy diet and nutrition plan and make sure it is as healthy as you can possible get. Let me give you some pointers as to how you can get the best out of your pregnancy diet and nutrition plan in order for you to give the best start in life to your baby.

Replace food like margarine, bread and sugary snacks with healthier options. Healthier options include butter, avocado, rye bread, fresh fruit and raw nuts as a healthier option for snacks. To reduce your intake of bread you can include brown rice or guinoa into your daily pregnancy diet and nutrition plan.

For those of you that don’t know guinoa, it is a seed that we cook and eat like a grain. It is also widely known as a grain. It has the most protein content of any grain, and also the highest fat content. That’s not all, it is also a great source of vitamins and minerals, it is even better than wheat and tasty too.

Divide your normal 3 meals a day into smaller portions, like 6 meals. The idea behind this is to eat little bits more often during the day. Choose foods that release energy slowly like fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and free range chicken and lean meat. Whole grains include oats, rye bread, whole wheat pasta, beans and lentils.

Your pregnancy diet and nutrition plan should not lack fresh fruit and vegetables at any time. You should make sure to avoid sugar and saturated fats at all times. Fresh vegetables are great wholesome nutrients.

I also recommend that you supplement your pregnancy diet and nutrition plan with an Omega fatty acid supplement. Omega 3 fish oil is especially essential for your baby’s brain development. You should also take a supplement that contains all necessary B vitamins. There reason for this is keeping your hormones in check. It helps your body adapt to the rapid changes it goes through with pregnancy.

To add to the above, it is important to take a multivitamin supplement to add to your healthy pregnancy diet and nutrition plan. You should under no circumstances use this to not eat as healthy as possible during pregnancy, but it is only a supplement to help make sure you consume everything you need to on a daily basis. The slightest deficiencies in nutrition during pregnancy can have serious effects on the development and health of your baby.

Birth abnormalities have been linked to slight deficiencies of Vitamin B1, B2, B6, folic acid, zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium. Your healthy pregnancy depends on a greater supply of all vitamins and nutrients you normally do.

You have all the basics here for a healthy pregnancy diet and nutrition plan. It is basically a matter of cutting the unhealthy extras like sauces, processed foods, sweets and caffeine. And remember to reward yourself for sticking to your healthy pregnancy diet and nutrition plan by sticking to it for a week and then giving you one day to indulge a little. This way you will go a long way in being healthy and giving your baby the best healthiest start in life.

Every single day holds the promise of a miracle.
