Pregnancy is "a sacred gift", a magical moment, a favorable moment to take care of yourself, take a break. Yes, but for 9 months, the body will experience many physiological upheavals , necessary for the proper development of the future baby. The body adapts as you go to allow the mom to bring and cover all nutritional needs. It is therefore important to ensure sufficient intake thanks to a varied diet so as not to empty the mother's reserves and preserve your health.

Ok, but in real life, how do we do it?

Food :

We don't eat 2 times more, but 2 times better ❤️

  • Rather of biological origin for less supply of pesticides but more in nutrients.
  • Living : raw vegetables, sprouted seeds, vegetable juices or fruits/vegetables, algae in small quantities, fresh herbs for a contribution in vitamins and minerals. For cooking vegetables, prefer a soft steam cooking which will be better loaded with vitamins and minerals.
  • Rich in omega 3 : rapeseed vegetable oil, linen, capeline, nuts, small fatty fish (sardines, anchovies, mackerels, herring), oleaginous seeds (almonds, nuts, cashews ...) to promote the development of the nervous system and retina and limit the risk of prematurity.
  • Complete rather than refined for more nutrients.
  • Rich in iron to limit the risk of prematurity: egg, chicken, beef, duck, oyster, chickpeas, lentils, soy flour.
  • Rich in calcium to help baby skeleton and prepare breastfeeding: dairy products, sardines with edges, sesame seeds, almonds, Brazil nuts, nuts, watercress, broccoli, cabbage, sauerkraut, tofu, soy milk enriched in calcium.
  • Rich in vitamin B9 to avoid malformations of the fetus and the risk of miscarriage: egg, shrimp, salad, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, red fruits, kiwi, banana, pear, full cereals and pulses, wheat germ, certain fermented cheeses, willow pollen.
