Diet During Pregnancy: The Brewer Diet

2/18/2017

0 Comments

 
 Women's bodies are capable of nourishing a pregnancy regardless of what they eat but more studies are showing the importance of diet in prenatal health and preventing complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. 

Preeclampsia is a prenatal condition that affects about 3-5 percent of women in the United States every year. It is a life threatening condition but research has shown that it can be prevented with proper diet during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is diagnosed as high blood pressure, protein in the urine and swelling in the extremities. It can cause seizures and sometimes death if left untreated. Diets during pregnancy must be high enough in calories and protein to facilitate the mother's ability to increase her blood supply to adequately nourish her baby. Salt also plays a crucial role in ensuring that her body is circulating enough nutrients for her baby. While low salt diets can play a role in preventing some complications in at risk pregnant mothers, most women  benefit from having a good supply of calories, salt and protein in their diets. 

For a comprehensive review of recommend diets for pregnancy I would recommend checking there webpages:
