Pregnancy Diet: What To Eat And What Not by Bump2babyscans(f): 5:24am On Dec 22, 2021
What to eat during pregnancy
Fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as home-cooked meals, are perfect for pregnant women. Raw fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned with warm water before consumption to remove any unwanted chemicals or germs. Meals must be well balanced. A well-balanced diet includes the following foods in adequate amounts and proportions:

[*]Fat (ghee, oil)
[*]Proteins (legumes, sprouts, fish, lentils, meat)
[*]Fibre (fruits, salads, vegetables)
[*]Carbohydrates (bread, rice, chapatti)
[*]Omega 3 fatty acids (sesame seeds, flax seeds, salmon)
[*]Probiotics (curd, buttermilk, yoghurt)
[*]Calcium (green leafy vegetables, tofu, dairy products, almonds)
[*]Minerals (rich sources of iron such as dates, jaggery, figs should be consumed).
[*]Vitamins (citrus fruits rich in vitamin C should be consumed in abundance)

What not to eat during pregnancy
[*]Carbonated drinks, canned foods, and foods that contain preservatives, chemicals, artificial colours, or synthetic substances should be avoided.
[*]High-calorie foods such as sweets and fried foods should be avoided as they provide few nutritional benefits and will simply contribute to fat accumulation and other problems later on.
[*]The intake of alcoholic beverages should be avoided at all costs.
[*]When eating out, make sure the food is prepared hygienically (avoid the temptations of the road), not too oily or spicy (keep it basic), and fresh (idlis and dosas are friends, the cold sandwiches no). It is natural to have cravings for certain foods, but sticking to a homemade solution is always a good idea because if eating out causes illness, the conceiving mother's medication options become limited.
