Nutrition and proper diet are often a second thought for most people when it comes to health, including pregnant women. But Dr. Jeanne and I discuss the importance of healthy food intake, specifically addressing carbohydrates, proteins, fats, enzymes, AND the role stress plays in absorbing and using these nutrients.
- Don't be afraid of good Carbs or Fats, and eat LOTS of protein!
- Stress affects our digestion, so often enzymes are required so our bodies can use the macro-nutrients properly.
- We chat about the role each macro-nutrient plays in pregnancy and why they are all SO important. Examples include:
- Fats help your gallbladder and breastmilk production
- Carbohydrates give you energy
- Protein helps prevent pre-eclampsia and other pregnancy problems
- We share lots of little personal stories about our and our clients' experiences with healthy eating changes.
