Pregnancy Nutrition Facts
During pregnancy a child’s organs and biological systems are developing, growing and maturing. The mother’s diet and her physical and mental health during this time can alter the physical growth and brain development of the child.
A mother’s mental and physical health and her nutrition during pregnancy can alter the way the genetics of the child are expressed. Either increasing or decreasing the risk of chronic diseases and mental health conditions in the developing child right into their adult years.
Maternal undernutrition during pregnancy has been associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases in the child’s later adult years. Including: heart disease, obesity, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
What you eat during your pregnancy can alter your child’s future appetite and even their food preferences.
Good News for your pregnancy diet!!
