Free ‘Healthy Eating In Pregnancy’ Guide
| Published: 16th January 2008 19:31 |
After the initial excitement of finding out that they are pregnant, the thoughts of every mum-to-be turn to the care and welfare of her unborn child. Diet plays a vital role in ensuring a healthy baby, which is why Spatone (an Iron rich water supplement) has teamed up with Midwife Maggie Evans to develop a FREE comprehensive advice guide to nutrition during pregnancy.It is widely known that we should consume a wide variety of foods in order to provide all of the vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre that the body needs. However, due to the increased demand of iron and various other vitamins and minerals during pregnancy, eating well becomes even more important.* It is therefore essential that mums-to-be learn about the types of food that will benefit them and their baby.
Maggie Evans has worked as a midwife for over 30 years and currently lectures at Sheffield University. Maggie says: "This leaflet provides concise information on the key aspects of a healthy diet during pregnancy, to include the essential nutrients required. Eating healthily throughout pregnancy is known to be an important strategy in which a pregnant woman, together with lifestyle changes, can positively influence the development and wellbeing of her unborn baby."
The leaflet gives sample meal suggestions to make it easier for mums-to-be to get all the key nutrients from their diet. Maggie explains how cravings, such as pickles or milk, can indicate underlying deficiencies.
