Pregnancy and Daily Life...
New Rules of New Life

What to eat?

A pregnant woman may become moody with her food cravings. However, she must get used to the new rules of her new life and try her best to take care of her body by eating healthy food. The body of a pregnant woman provides all types of needed food for the baby, so healthy food is important for the mother and her baby. Having healthy food does not mean to over eat, but to eat the necessary types on a regular basis. However, food needs are different from one woman to another during pregnancy.

                                                      My Craving:

During pregnancy I crave chocolate more than anything else. I eat chocolate more than food. If I do not eat chocolate more than one time a day then I cannot sleep at night.

Types of healthy food:

1-      Milk and other Dairy Products: Provide Protein, Calcium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B.

2-      Meat, Fish, and Egg: Provide Protein, Iron, and Vitamin B.

3-      Vegetables and Fruits: Provide Sugars, Vitamin C, Carotene, Folic acid, and Mineral Salts.

4-      Carbohydrates: Like Bread and Potatoes, Provide Starch, Protein, and Vitamin B.

5-      Fats: Like Butter and Fresh Cream, Provide Vitamin A. 

6-      Sugar and Sweets: Provide needed energy for the body.

7-      Water: The only drink that is indispensable.
