Pregnancy provides many women with motivation to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.serkanoral.com\/gebelikte-beslenme\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>eat<\/strong><\/a> well, exercise more, and break bad habits. If you prioritize healthy habits now, it will be much easier to maintain them after the baby is born. Losing weight faster, taking better care of your baby, and getting back to your old self are just a few of the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-9eg4w75808\">If you already live a healthy life, you are one step ahead in this process. Your pregnancy may cause you to give up a few habits, but not all of them. Even if not all of your past decisions were right, it is never too late to renew!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-q0ysv75810\">This section will help you make the healthiest decisions for yourself and your growing baby during your pregnancy. What&#8217;s more, these choices will have a positive impact on your family members. If you start eating healthier and exercising more, your partner will adapt to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-qsafv75812\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"nutrition-during-pregnancy\"><\/span>Nutrition During Pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-598rv75814\">You will need to eat for both yourself and your baby throughout your pregnancy. But don\u2019t think of it as eating twice as much, but as eating twice as much healthily. If you don\u2019t have good eating habits, you tend to skip dinners, or you eat a limited variety of foods. You can start making changes now. In fact, it may be a good idea to make healthy eating a habit from the very beginning of your pregnancy. Because your baby\u2019s most important organs are formed in the first few weeks of your pregnancy. Healthy eating helps create suitable conditions for the first fetal development. You will need iron, calcium, folic acid and other essential vitamins and nutrients more during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-trqiu75816\">You don&#8217;t have to compromise your appetite or follow a strict diet to eat right, don&#8217;t worry. You can eat any food that will be beneficial for your pregnancy for a regular diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-0zhn675819\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"regular-diet\"><\/span>Regular Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-w8w5p75821\">To be honest, there is no formula for a healthy pregnancy diet. The basic principles of healthy nutrition recommended for everyone also apply to pregnant women. So what are these basic principles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consuming plenty of fruits, vegetables and grain products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose lean protein and <a href=\"https:\/\/serkanoral.com\/en\/harms-of-abortion-and-abortion-after-miscarriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>low-<\/strong><\/a> fat dairy products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-ma89n75829\">If you keep these key rules in mind, you and your baby will not be putting your health at risk with this balanced diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-5rzw175831\">Making sure you are eating healthy is a good way to ensure you are eating well and getting the nutrients you need. If you are concerned about whether or not you are consuming, keeping a record of what you eat each day of the week will help you identify areas where you need to improve and make you more aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-8xp2v75833\">If you are pregnant with twins or any of the other options, you will likely need more calories and nutrients. This can be determined by your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-yb5tn75835\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"foods-to-avoid-during-pregnancy\"><\/span>Foods to avoid during pregnancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-tw9wg75837\">Most foods are safe to eat during pregnancy. However, there are certain foods that should be avoided or limited because they carry a risk of unwanted side effects. Although the possibility of this happening is low, it is best to be cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-or0yx75840\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mercury-rich-seafood\"><\/span>Mercury Rich Seafood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-cm3wb75842\">Seafood is a good source of protein and iron. However, some species contain dangerous levels of mercury, which can harm a baby&#8217;s developing nervous system. These species include swordfish, shark, mackerel and tilefish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-gdj3j75844\">According to research, there is no harm in pregnant women consuming 340 grams of seafood per week in a healthy way. This corresponds to an average of two servings of shrimp, salmon, cod or canned tuna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-1pygo75846\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"raw-undercooked-or-contaminated-seafood\"><\/span>Raw, Undercooked or Contaminated Seafood<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-1fosb75848\">It is essential to avoid raw fish, shellfish such as oysters and mussels, and frozen seafood throughout pregnancy. Also, all products should be cooked to an internal temperature of 60-65 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-wkvlm75850\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"uncooked-meats-poultry-and-eggs\"><\/span>Uncooked Meats, Poultry and Eggs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-04r4475852\">If you consume uncooked food, you are likely to get poisoned, just like any woman who is not pregnant. However, since you are pregnant, your risk of getting sick is higher than others. Although rare, your baby may also be affected. To prevent all this, you should cook foods that need to be cooked very well before eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-4pcbd75854\"><strong>NOTE! Cook eggs until the yolk and white are solid and avoid partially cooked or raw <a href=\"https:\/\/serkanoral.com\/en\/how-is-egg-freezing-done\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eggs<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-46fyu75858\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"processed-meats\"><\/span>Processed Meats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-cs23975860\">Meats can get contaminated during processing, so they should be cooked and stored with care. Another thing to remember about processed meats is that they are not frozen, which contains sodium, which can cause bloating during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-phjhf75862\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"unwashed-products\"><\/span>Unwashed Products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raw fruits and vegetables should definitely be consumed in abundance during pregnancy. The only thing to be careful about is that if they come from unwashed places such as gardens or fields, they should be washed very well.r.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new baby is a great way to reshape your current lifestyle.
