(Medical-NewsWire.com, November 10, 2014 ) Deerfield Beach, Florida -- The importance of good nutrition during pregnancy is something that is essential for the health of both mother and baby. Extensive research on this area has shown the importance of healthy eating in relation to fertility and pregnancy health and has highlighted the need to adopt healthy eating habits in advance of pregnancy. Making healthy dietary changes from three months to a year before getting pregnant ensures that the body has sufficient nutrients it needs for a healthy pregnancy.
Eating healthily during pregnancy can be achieved by eating a balanced diet consisting of a variety of foods including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and good fats.
One of the most important nutrients in a pre-conception diet is Folic Acid, or its natural form Folate. Folic Acid is a vital pregnancy vitamin which plays a key role in preventing neural tube defects, spina bifida and helps support a healthy placenta. Good natural sources of folate acid include green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, legumes and nuts. Folic Acid can also be found in fortified breakfast cereals as well as pasta.
In addition to the above, the inclusion of fruit and vegetables in a pregnancy diet is essential. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states "Try to include at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, whether fresh, frozen, canned or dried.
Iron is another important nutrient as part of a pregnancy diet. Iron plays an important part in preventing iron deficiency anemia, premature delivery and low birth weight. Good sources of iron include dried fruits, chicken, spinach and sweet potatoes. The recommended daily allowance for Iron in the USA (USRDA) is 30 milligrams daily which equates to at least three servings of iron based containing foods.
Protein is an important nutrient for helping to improve egg quality and embryo health. It can be found in chicken, eggs and lentils as well as fruit and vegetables. It is recommended that a pregnant women aim to eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day whether that be fresh, frozen, dried or canned fruit.
As well as getting the needed nutrition through eating the right foods, health experts also recommend women who are, currently pregnant or looking to conceive, also supplement these foods with a Prenatal Vitamin. This will help to prepare their body for pregnancy and to provide optimal nutrition for both mother and baby during pregnancy. This is especially the case for women who are suffering from morning sickness and have difficulty keeping food down.
In addition to good nutrition, many health providers recommend taking prenatal vitamins starting for at least three to twelve months before conception to help ensure the build-up of essential nutrients in preparation for pregnancy.
