All gynecologists warn expectant mothers during their pregnancy about the importance of eating a healthy and balanced diet, since this depends largely on the good development of the baby. An insufficient diet can cause serious health problems for the baby.
During my first pregnancy, I was very worried about what I could eat and what I should avoid. At each medical visit I had a list of questions and many of them were always referred to food.
The importance of good nutrition in pregnancy
The pregnant woman not only has to follow a diet based on the nutritional pyramid, but also has to be more careful than ever with her diet. Do not eat double and it is convenient to make five meals a day.
These feeding tips for the pregnant woman become more important if we listen to the advice of the Basque neuropsychiatrist Javier Aizpiri, who affirms that the mother's diet can have serious consequences for the health of her child.
According to Dr. Aizpiri, a strict diet in mothers who only think about not gaining weight and recovering the figure as soon as possible, is totally harmful to the baby.
A diet based on products such as grilled chicken, skimmed milk and nuts will promote en complications in the baby such as depression, stress, memory disorders and even Alzheimer's .If the pregnant woman eliminates all types of fats on a daily basis, it will be a threat to her health and that of her baby. The human body is unable to produce certain fats and these are present only in food. The brain needs them to reason, coordinate body activity, regulate the time of sleep and wakefulness. These fats are the Omega 3 acids and play a fundamental role in the proper functioning of the nervous system. You can find these fats in blue fish, mussels, cockles, walnuts, hazelnuts and olive oil.
A scarce diet besides being harmful to the baby, will cause the mother to live her pregnancy with a greater state of depression, irritability, fatigue and pain.
