Expert Tips
Consume Omega-3:
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the development of a baby's brain and eyes. Include omega-3 foods in your diet, such as fatty fish (salmon, tuna), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. Talk to a healthcare professional to assess the need for supplementation of this nutrient.
Increase iron intake:
During pregnancy, the need for iron increases to support the development of the fetus and prevent anemia. Include iron-rich foods in your diet, such as lean meats (beef and poultry), legumes (beans, lentils), dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach), nuts, and seeds. Combining these foods with sources of vitamin C (such as oranges, strawberries, or bell peppers) can help with iron absorption.
Include sources of vitamin D in your diet:
Vitamin D is crucial for bone health and baby development. In addition to sun exposure, which is a natural source of vitamin D, include foods such as fatty fish (such as salmon and sardines), liver, egg yolks, and fortified foods such as milk and cereal. If necessary, consult a healthcare professional about supplementation.
