                     Health Food For 
Pregnant          
Women
Pregnant women need to ensure their diet provides the baby with 
enough nutrients and energy to properly develop and grow. They 
also need to make sure her body is healthy enough to handle the 
changes that are taking place during pregnancy. You don't need 
to go on a special diet, but to get the right amount of nutrients you 
and your baby need it is vital to eat a variety of different foods 
each day.
For pregnant women, it is particularly important to 
eat a balanced diet. Your baby wants nutritious 
food and not fat and sugar. Eat plenty of colorful 
fruits and vegetables, whole grains, foods that are 
high in calcium and low in saturated fat.
Particularly Vitamin C and Folic Acid contain many 
important nutrients for pregnancy. Pregnant women 
need at least 70 mg daily of vitamin C found in fruits 
such as bananas, grapefruits, and honeydew, and 
vegetables such as broccoli, tomatoes, and Brussel 
sprouts
Most women have a nutritious diet that includes plenty of fruits, 
vegetables, whole grains, and proteins to meet their increased 
needs. You should try to consume a range of foods from these 
specific food groups, according to the American College of 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). If you do, you'll 
probably get all the nutrients that you need for a 
healthy pregnancy.
