Nutritional Guidelines for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Moms
spacer






Eat fruits and vegetables that are locally grown and in season. Avoid buying imported fruits and vegetables as many of them are sprayed or grown with harmful chemicals.

Eat more complex carbohydrates from whole grains and root crops.

Eat foods in their fresh and natural state as they are fiber-rich and have not been devitalized of precious vitamins and minerals.

Choose beans and nuts as your sources of protein and calcium.

Avoid dairy products as they contain many contaminants and are not designed for the human body.

Reduce excessive salt and sugar intake by limiting your consumption of processed foods, beverages and snacks.

Avoid hydrogenated oils, food preservatives, coloring and other food additives by reading the labels of what you eat. If you find that you have a hard time pronouncing or reading an ingredient in the processed food that you are about to buy, do not put them inside your body.

If you still want to eat meat and other food from animals despite the risks, choose those that are organically grown and make sure that the animals are not afflicted with diseases like flu, cholera, foot and mouth disease, leukemia and cancerous growths, mastitis, etc.
