Since there is a long list of power foods that can help you during your pregnancy era so we thought of distributing it into three different sections. To read the first part click PREGNACY & POWER FOODS and to read the 3rd go at the end of this page.
PREGNANCY POWER FOOD 1
WHAT TO EAT?
Cheese
WHY?
To meet your calcium requirements.
PREGNANCY POWER FOOD 2
WHAT TO EAT?
Eggs
WHY?
Because they are an excellent source of protein and amino acids which your body needs.
PREGNANCY POWER FOOD 3
WHAT TO EAT?
Oatmeal
WHY?
Because it will keep you satisfied for longer periods and will keep your abnormal hunger cravings in check.
PREGNANCY POWER FOOD 4
WHAT TO EAT?
Leafy Greens
WHY?
Because the greener the vegetables the more the intake of folate, calcium and iron which your body is desperately in need of when you are expecting.
PREGNANCY POWER FOOD 5
WHAT TO EAT?
Whole grain bread
WHY?
Duh! Because it is rich in fiber and is going to help you get rid of constipation which should be avoided by all means when you are pregnant so having a bit of brown bread rich in whole grain won’t hurt.
PREGNANCY POWER FOOD 6
WHAT TO EAT?
Oranges
WHY?
Because they are super rich in vitamin C and if you have read the section on essential nutrients (NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION – PART II) required during pregnancy then you must know how important Vitamin C is when you are pregnant. Oranges will provide you with Calcium, Vitamin C, fiber and folate.
