PREGNANCY AND OVEREATING 😮

 EAT FOR TWO( WHAT DOES IT MEAN 🤷)

We usually hear people advising pregnant women to 'eat for two'

Well there's nothing wrong with eating for two but you have to first consider who the two persons you are eating for are.

Adequate nutrition is essential during pregnancy, and food rich in protein, vitamins and minerals are always advised.

THE WRONG SIDE OF EATING FOR TWO

When you are advised to eat for two, it means you have to eat;

- For one adult which is you.

-And a baby who in your womb

Invariably what means is that, you have to take your normal diet with  little addition to accommodate the nutritional need of the baby without compromising your own dietary need.

What all this means, is that you are not eating for 2 adults, as we usually do, but for an adult and a baby.

Sometimes controlling diet in pregnancy may be difficult due to some cravings that comes with pregnancy, but where possible let's try and control our diet for our own good and that of our baby.

We can try!

We can do it!
