Pregnancy and nutrition During pregnancy, nutrition is of utmost importance. It is important to the health of both mom and baby. Consider these tips in planning your meals. Despite the common nausea that sweeps over women who find themselves pregnant, proper nutrition remains essential to both mother and baby throughout the entire pregnancy. In the first trimester, through 12 weeks gestation, many expectant moms experience nausea which may hit them in the morning, mid-day or even in the evening. For these difficult times, crackers make good snacks to get through the period when no food is the best food. One nutritional way to combat "morning sickness" during pregnancy is to eat a protein snack before bedtime, like cheese or peanut butter. This will help the rough mornings when eating is the last thing on your mind, while also supplying essential nutrients to your growing baby. Protein is one of the most important considerations in planning meals during a pregnancy. A growing baby requires lots of nutrition from its mother to make it to term. Frequently, preterm deliveries can be traced back to an inadequate diet and thus a baby is born early because it isn't thriving and growing inside its mother. Good protein foods are cottage cheese, milk, meats, peanuts and eggs. Each of those can easily be incorporated into a typical day. If nausea continues to be a problem, then protein shakes are a preferable second choice to protein obtained from your diet. Any health food store or even grocery stores will carry a wide array of choices in shake powders which can be mixed with milk or water. Even in between meals, these shakes can add additional protein for your baby while giving you a nice mid-day snack.

Pregnancy and nutrition and learning How to produce better, brighter babies Most people think of education as schooling. Some: even preschooling. But the world's best-selling book in 1999, The Learning Revolution, says real learning starts even earlier than that: not only during pregnancy but before conception. And co-authors Gordon Dryden and Dr. Jeannette Vos devote an entire chapter to the period before birth: A sensible guide to producing better, brighter babies. As part of the research for the book, Dryden traveled for months around the world with a television crew to videotape some of the world's best learning breakthroughs for six one-hour television documentaries. The result included an interview with Scottish Professor Michael Crawford not long after he had completed a ten-year research program on the impact of nutrition on infant and fetal brain growth. The most important results of all revolve around brain cells and their growth. Every day about two million of your body's cells wear out. But the body replaces them automatically. Every 15 to 30 days your body completely replaces the outermost layers of your skin. What you see in the mirror today is not the same skin you had a month ago.
