Start a diet of natural foods in Preparation for Pregnancy is a gift for you and your baby. It really is not so much a diet as a healthy lifestyle, and ideally, would have to eat like this 3-6 months before attempting pregnancy. It is best when both partners are eating this way for food preparation is easier and you and your partner can provide mutual support. Perhaps most important, however: both parents are healthy, healthier future child (s) will be. That said, if you learn you are pregnant, but they were not following anything close to the optimal pre-conception diet before, is a perfect time to start now!
A Pre-conception holistic diet should emphasize the following:
- High-quality proteins that are very important to maintain balanced blood sugar, make sure to eat breakfast and breakfast with protein to minimize morning sickness
- Natural organic fats. These are necessary for optimal hormone production and providing essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins. Sufficient fat is also important for proper utilization of minerals in food. The better to eat fats are coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, organic butter and cream, fat of meat and milk from animals fed on grass, avocado, nuts and raw materials (which also contain proteins).
- Foods rich in EPA, DHA and alpha-linolenic acid for the optimal development of the fetal brain and eyes.
- Foods rich in vitamin A (required for the production of estrogen), zinc, vitamin B, calcium and vitamin D.
I encourage you to choose wild foods and organically grown foods as often as possible as these have demonstrated improved nutrition in vitamins and minerals they contain. Try to avoid all processed foods, canned foods, white flour, white sugar, vegetable oils and trans fats. These foods have little nutritional value and / or is not metabolized in the body as well. Finally, in addition to feeding the body, is of course also important to feed your soul! Have fun and enjoy this wonderful time.
